Chapter: 3289

Wan Paojun's words struck Su Chengfeng to his core.

If he had thought Wan Paojun was just trying to flatter him earlier, now he genuinely admired Wan Paojun.

A young man under thirty, able to develop such a large-scale operation in that treacherous world, left him feeling deeply impressed.

Therefore, he picked up a cup of wine and said with sincerity: "Paojun! I've never felt so much respect for anyone before, not even the esteemed Leaf Clan's Long Yan. Come, let me toast you!"

Wan Paojun heard the three words 'Leaf Long Yan' and his expression turned slightly cold, then he looked at Su Chengfeng with a serious tone: "Grandpa Su, is it true that Leaf Long Yan is as strong as legend has it?"

Su Chengfeng nodded slightly, his voice sincere: "Although I have a deep grudge against the Leaf family, I must admit that Long Yan truly is very strong. Back when he was storming the clouds, including myself, countless people were biting their nails and sighing in admiration, thinking to themselves, 'He's just like Leaf Long Yan...'"

Wan Paojun's expression turned grave, and he asked seriously: "Grandpa Su, I want to know, what exactly is Leaf Long Yan strong at?"

Su Chengfeng sighed: "Ah... Leaf Long Yan is a person who looks like a scholar, very refined and dignified. However, he isn't some kind of martial artist; he can't be said to have supernatural strength, but compared to other martial artists, he's not far behind."

Wan Paojun asked again: "Why do people think he's so strong?"

Su Chengfeng thought for a moment before speaking in an extremely serious tone: "What I mean by 'strong' is not necessarily about physical power. Leaf Long Yan's greatest strength, in my opinion, lies in three aspects."

"What are those three aspects?"

"By the way, Leaf Long Yan had a lot of women fans during his time. Among them were some who would actively pursue him and even offer themselves to him, but he could resist all temptations and only went for what was genuinely offered to him. In my opinion, there's no one else like that in real life!"

He sighed and said, "All things considered, this person is the one I admire most in my lifetime!"

Wan Paojun listened carefully and asked again, "Why did Leaf Long Yan die? Was he really killed by the Su family?"

Su Chengfeng smiled wryly and said, "Let me tell you something. When Leaf Long Yan was at his peak, our Su family had to establish a counter-Leaf alliance to barely make it through that time. To be honest, that counter-Leaf alliance wasn't a proactive organization; it was just formed to gather people together for mutual support. If we had the ability to kill him then, we wouldn't have been pushed to the brink and forced to join forces with others."

"What's more," he continued, "by the time Leaf Long Yan died, he had already left the business world behind. We were still in the midst of all that chaos; it would be pointless for us to go after him then. After all, no one would engage in such a fruitless and costly endeavor."

Wan Paojun nodded seriously and asked again, "So who actually killed him?"

Su Chengfeng shook his head, saying, "As for that, I'm not too sure myself. Back then, there were so many rumors floating around, but no one had any solid evidence to back them up. Over time, the matter was just forgotten."

Wan Paojun laughed coldly and said, "Looks like having a plan that's as clever as a strategist who can win a thousand battles is far from enough! To succeed in this world, you need to have a sharp mind and strong fists! If Leaf Long Yan had even one-tenth or one-hundredth of my Wan Dragon Court's power when he was young, he wouldn't have been killed so soon!"

Su Chengfeng hesitated for a moment before responding quickly with a forced laugh. "You're absolutely right, Wan Paojun! In today's world, just having a sharp mind is useless; only those who are well-versed in both martial arts and literature can succeed!"

He smiled obsequiously and said, "In my opinion, you're the epitome of someone who excels in both literary and martial pursuits. Your future is limitless! Come, let me toast to your success!"

Wan Paojun laughed and raised his cup, saying to Su Chengfeng, "Wait until I've won a decisive victory in Syria, wait until I've moved my parents' remains into Wan Ling Mountain. It'll take three to five years for the Wan Dragon Court to fully infiltrate, even covering the entire Middle East! By that time, I, Wan Paojun, will be the King of Mercenaries!"

The King of Mercenaries is Wan Paojun's second major goal in life.

As his first priority, he would naturally avenge his parents' deaths.

Currently, he feels close to achieving both goals. JrNovels.com
