Chapter 133: The All-powerful Noblewoman
The African Alliance is relatively backward, but the secret realm resources there are famously abundant. The Dragon Heavenly King is definitely going there to aim for the champion position.
Most importantly, the African Alliance possesses a special secret realm that other alliances do not have.
In anime, people call this the Ultimate Space, but in this world, people call it the ultimate secret realm.
Of course, all of this has absolutely nothing to do with Lu Li right now.
After browsing the news for a while, Lu Li turned off his phone.
There seemed to be a lot of news, but the only one truly related to him was actually just one.
The Five Great Alliances compete openly and covertly, and none of them hope that geniuses from other alliances will emerge in batches like a geyser.
Making those geniuses perish prematurely, assassination is the simplest and most direct method.
Lu Li, staying in the hotel, didn’t go anywhere, and not even Ekaterina came to disturb him.
But as evening approached, an uninvited guest knocked on the room door.
Lu Li looked through the peephole and saw a somewhat rotund middle-aged woman standing impatiently at the doorway.
Puzzled, Lu Li opened the door.
“Did you knock on the wrong door, madam?” Lu Li asked.
The middle-aged woman asked directly, “You’re Lu Li, right?”
Lu Li nodded.
“Then I didn’t get the wrong one.”
After saying that, the middle-aged woman walked into the room on her own.
The middle-aged woman didn’t treat herself as an outsider at all. After finding a chair to sit down, she gestured for Lu Li to close the door quickly.
Although he felt a bit unhappy inside, Lu Li still closed the door and sat across from her.
“Is there something you need, madam?” Lu Li’s tone carried a bit of anger.
This shrew was somewhat impolite.
Jin Fengqiao asked directly, “My name is Jin Fengqiao. You should have heard of this name, right?”
Lu Li: “…”
Lu Li said speechlessly, “I’ve only heard of Jin Fengjiao. May I ask what your relationship is to him?”
Hearing this, Jin Fengqiao’s facial expression changed.
As Jin Fengjiao’s older sister, what she hated most was others saying her name resembled Jin Fengjiao’s, because that was equivalent to saying her reputation was not as good as her younger sister’s.
In fact, it was indeed the case. Jin Fengjiao had turned a dirt-legged guy into a golden son-in-law, and who in Qingfeng City’s upper society didn’t envy that?
Jin Fengqiao also knew she definitely couldn’t compare to her husband with her younger sister, so she decided to regain face on the next generation.
“I’m Jin Guilin’s mother,” Jin Fengqiao reminded through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Lu Li nodded in sudden realization.
“Jin Guilin’s mother, may I ask what you need from me?” Lu Li asked again.
“There’s 3 million in this card.”
Jin Fengqiao didn’t directly state her purpose for coming, but instead placed a bank card on the table and pushed it in front of Lu Li.
“As long as you’re willing to lose to my son in the Grand Festival, this 3 million is yours,” Jin Fengqiao said.
After knowing Jin Fengqiao’s purpose, Lu Li looked at her with a mocking gaze.
“Jin Guilin’s mother, do you know what the reward is for first place in Qingfeng City’s Grand Festival?”
“There’s no difference in rewards between first place and first place; both get to enter the Alliance Treasure Vault to pick one treasure. The only difference might be the order.
My precious son doesn’t care about the things in the Alliance Treasure Vault. If you need it, I can even decide to let my son give the reward to you,” Jin Fengqiao said quickly.
Hearing this, Jin Fengqiao’s image in his mind instantly became three-dimensional.
This was a standard rich wife, and the kind who was a vase that knew nothing.
Lu Li crossed his arms, sneering as he retorted, “I guess your son definitely doesn’t know about this matter.”
“How did you know?” Jin Fengqiao looked at Lu Li in surprise.
She had indeed come to find Lu Li on her own initiative today. Yesterday, while playing cards with a group of rich wives, she heard that group praising Lu Li.
She also learned about Lu Li’s strength from those rich wives’ mouths; it was said to be absolute first place, and at the time she was a bit unconvinced.
But as an outsider, although Jin Fengqiao was unconvinced in her heart, her body honestly took action.
This was also the reason she was sitting here today.
Lu Li: “Because you’re not a trainer.”
Jin Fengqiao looked at Lu Li puzzled and asked, “What does this have to do with whether I’m a trainer or not?”
Lu Li said solemnly, “Because if you were a trainer, you wouldn’t come to me. For your son, winning or losing actually isn’t important; what’s important is being able to battle against me.”
Trainers can have a battle just from making eye contact, let alone in a match like this.
Even if Jin Guilin knew he was bound to lose, he wouldn’t resort to such off-the-field tactics.
A trainer actually avoiding battle—such a trainer couldn’t even be considered qualified, let alone Jin Guilin, who was called Qingfeng City’s number one among the new generation.
Jin Fengqiao interrupted impatiently, “I don’t understand you trainers talking about bonds, passion, and such. I just want my son to get first place.”
Lu Li: “…”
“Madam, are you really the Jin Family Patriarch’s wife?” Lu Li asked incredulously.
Jin Fengqiao nodded matter-of-factly.
Now it was Lu Li’s turn to be speechless. Why would a noble family like the Jin Family have such an outrageous person? The most outrageous thing was that this outrageous person was the Jin Family Patriarch’s wife.
Even more outrageous was that this person was actually Jin Fengjiao’s biological older sister. Even if it was a gene mutation, it shouldn’t be this outrageous, right?
“Your husband doesn’t know about this matter either, does he?” Lu Li probed.
Jin Fengqiao said impatiently, “Why are you so annoying, kid? I already said this was my own decision. This kind of small matter doesn’t need them to get involved.”
With a slightly darkened facial expression, Lu Li directly said, “I think you should go back and ask your son and husband’s opinion. Please leave now.”
“Hmph~”
“You’ll regret this.”
Jin Fengqiao left with an unfriendly expression and a dark face.
Watching her back, Lu Li shook his head helplessly.
What in the world is this!
For Jin Guilin, tomorrow’s win or loss actually wasn’t important. After all, as long as he was in Qingfeng City’s top 10, he could enter the Southeast Division, and the rewards for the top three were the same, so win or loss was even less important.
………..
Jin Family.
After learning of his own mother’s heaven-defying operation, Jin Guilin was completely dumbfounded.
Out of filial piety, Jin Guilin didn’t curse her out, but instead earnestly comforted her, “Mom! If you’re fine, you should go out and play mahjong more. You really don’t need to worry about your son’s matters.”
The Jin Family Patriarch nearby also had an ashen facial expression.
He was truly driven to tears by his wife’s stupidity. Jin Fengqiao’s operation could be called heaven-defying.
It wasn’t even an important matter, yet Jin Fengqiao insisted on complicating it, even increasing the difficulty.
On a larger scale, this was bribery, destroying the fairness of the Alliance’s college entrance examination.
On a smaller scale, if people from other families found out about this, where would the Jin Family put their face?
Losing face for the Jin Family would be minor; affecting his son’s state of mind would be the most terrifying.
Seeing her son and husband’s reactions, Jin Fengqiao asked aggrievedly, “Husband, did I do something wrong?”
Seeing Jin Fengqiao with teary eyes, the Jin Family Patriarch quickly comforted her, “A little, but it’s not a big problem. Be good, don’t cry first.”
