CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 211: PROGRESSING ONE STEP FURTHER

"Who the hell did this to my son?!"

Brooklyn’s father looked at his son’s miserable condition, showing an extremely angry expression. He clenched his fists and howled at the sky. Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s mother was shocked by her son’s plight, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, even unable to cry.

At this moment, the one who caused this, Lin Beichen, had already boarded a plane heading towards Dragon Country. Lin Beichen looked down at Atlantis, which was getting further away, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"This is just a small bit of what you owe me. It won’t be long before I take everything back!"

Lin Beichen seemed to have already grasped the true meaning of combat, no longer hesitating like before.

Next to him, Gale and others trembled slightly upon hearing Lin Beichen’s words. Despite the calm tone, it exuded a strong sense of fighting spirit.

Had they not known about Lin Beichen’s past, they would surely suspect that he was a lurking Soldier King.

At this time, Song Xiangdong had already received the news of Lin Beichen’s safe return from this trip. When he saw Brooklyn’s tragic appearance, even he, used to big scenes, couldn’t help but shudder slightly.

"This kid is really terrifying."

After all, Brooklyn in the photo looked like a lump of flesh, as if his bones had been completely extracted.

Thinking of the photo of Brooklyn, Song Xiangdong muttered to himself.

"If I encounter any tight-lipped people in the future, perhaps I can have this kid Lin Beichen help out."

Having gone through a battle, Lin Beichen closed his eyes to start recovering his strength, not realizing that Song Xiangdong had already taken a liking to him.

"I can really be discharged, there are no problems."

In the VIP ward of Imperial City Central Hospital, Zhou Ya expressed her wish to be discharged to the dean beside her.

Since Lin Beichen hadn’t returned, how could the dean dare let Zhou Ya leave easily? After all, the dean had already recognized Lin Beichen’s talent in medicine.

Allowing Lin Beichen’s close friend to leave like this, the dean wouldn’t be able to explain to Lin Beichen, let alone his idea of luring Lin Beichen into Imperial City Central Hospital.

"That’s impossible."

A rare seriousness appeared on the dean’s somewhat aged face.

Then, like a grandfather coaxing his little granddaughter, he revealed a kindly smile and said to Zhou Ya.

"Anyway, this time you were innocently dragged into this, so you must completely heal your body. Because of your studies, your internal health has had problems. I’ve arranged for the best national doctor to treat you with acupuncture; you should stay a bit longer."

With the dean speaking to this extent, Zhou Ya naturally couldn’t say much more.

At the same time, Song Xiangdong, upon learning that Zhou Ya’s health had no major issues and only needed to recuperate, finally showed a smile.

To Song Xiangdong, this was probably the best news he’d received in recent days. Though Song Xiangdong didn’t care about Zhou Ya’s situation, he had to because of Lin Beichen.

As time passed, Lin Beichen had returned to the Imperial Capital, with the security bureau arranging people to pick him up from a private airport.

This trip didn’t inflict substantial damage on Atlantis, but Lin Beichen’s actions hit the arrogance of Atlantis’s major clans, which also satisfied Song Xiangdong.

"It’s just a second-tier family, nothing to boast about."

Seeing Song Xiangdong so pleased, Lin Beichen helplessly shook his head.

Because from the intelligence he got from Song Xiangdong, the family behind Brooklyn was indeed a second-tier family. Although their ancestors were knights, they were only Golden Knights, not the noble Holy Knights.

If their ancestors had been Holy Knights, then the Brooklyn Clan would be a first-tier family now. If they achieved the legendary Divine Knight status, the Brooklyn clan would be aristocrats of Atlantis.

"I think you might not know yet, Atlantis is actually a federal-style nation."

Song Xiangdong looked at Lin Beichen and smiled.

Atlantis could be said to be China’s biggest competitor and currently Lin Beichen’s greatest enemy, so Song Xiangdong felt it necessary for Lin Beichen to learn more about this country.

"Of course I know that. Federal nations are like that. Just like now, the self-proclaimed world police, White-headed Eagle Country."

Lin Beichen smiled and nodded. Although he didn’t know much about world affairs, he grasped the basics.

"But Atlantis is different from the White-headed Eagle Country."

Song Xiangdong seemed to have anticipated Lin Beichen’s response, smiling and shaking his head.

Lin Beichen, intrigued by Song Xiangdong’s words, became interested. Song Xiangdong felt a bit excited, as he finally found something Lin Beichen didn’t know.

Throughout his interactions with Lin Beichen, Song Xiangdong had regarded him as almost omnipotent.

"Atlantis is a federal-style nation composed of family clans. The real rulers of Atlantis are the eight major aristocratic families and the first-tier and second-tier families attached to them."
