Lin Hai finished speaking, and a look of shock that couldn't be concealed burst forth from Su Zhentian's eyes as he widened them.

"You're that guy known as King of Soldiers, called by the name 'L'?" His words were filled with disbelief.

Even the aura of the hidden "Supreme Strong Expert" elder of the Su Family in the room stiffened slightly in the shadows.

Perhaps ordinary people are unclear, and this ordinary person includes those who follow the formal business channels; for instance, Ouyang Xiaoya belongs strictly to the business circle.

Originally, the Su Family started from the underworld, and they still pay close attention to the various lethal fights and news within the dark societal circles.

In the International Mercenary Circle, the strongest mercenary dubbed King of Soldiers has incomparable individual strength.

Possessing senses and combat awareness far surpassing ordinary people, and he has elevated the perspective of the big picture and the methods of commanding wars to a level beyond others - that is L.

Nobody knows L's real identity, nor has anyone seen his real face, except for that face smeared with strange camouflage.

L's movements are also extremely mysterious, and he has under him a group of extremely powerful mercenaries referred to by the outside world as "Reincarnation."

Su Zhentian strained his mind recalling the rumors about King of Soldiers, L.

For example, the influence of King Yan, known as King of Assassins, is called "Blood-Colored Reincarnation", and there were rumors that L and King Yan are close friends.

There are also rumors that L and King Yan are the same person.

Recent news said that King Yan killed Supreme Strong Shiva, and Mahabrahma, a Supreme Strong from India, also acknowledged King Yan's strength as among the top in Supreme Strongs, while the strength of King of Soldiers, L, is recognized as No.1 among the Super First-class Experts, so now the universally accepted news is that King Yan and L are brothers trained by the same mysterious master.

In addition, L's most famous battle was under a special reason; he accepted a request from an employer who resorted to all means for revenge. This employer is rumored to be a member of a small royal family from an oil-rich region in the Middle East.

After accepting that employer's request and mission, L, leading his mercenaries, conquered the royal family member and their army in one week with overwhelming force, also defeating and humiliating a few of the top mercenary groups in the International Mercenary Circle hired for ample money by that royal member, annihilating two of the large-scale mercenary forces in the process.

This campaign also established L's position as a top strong player in the International Mercenary Circle, earning him acclaim as King of Soldiers.

"Are you really the King of Soldiers, L?" Su Zhentian's gaze returned from his memories, looking at Lin Hai in astonishment and asked.

Lin Hai showed a faint smile on his face, his eyes conveying no other emotional fluctuations, and said with a smile.

"If I say L and I are close friends, would you believe it?" After saying that, Lin Hai blinked his eyes.

"..." Su Zhentian fell into silent contemplation.

He found that he simply could not keep up with the young man's train of thought.

Clearly, he came across as frivolous with the vigor and arrogance of youth, even sometimes a bit annoyingly sleazy.

But every statement he made was perfectly watertight.

Such a mentality would be unremarkable in those experienced old timers, but it was exceptionally rare and unusual in a young man.

"This young man is definitely no ordinary person; he's bound to shine brightly one day!" Su Zhentian actually found himself increasingly approving of Lin Hai, involuntarily viewing him with the eyes of a father-in-law looking at his future son-in-law, growing fond of him, though wondering if that slight sleaziness could be changed?

"By the way, father-in-law, have you heard about King Yan?" Lin Hai blinked again.

Su Zhentian once again looked at Lin Hai in shock; could it be that he is not King of Soldiers, L, but rather King of Assassins, King Yan? Could it mean that his strength has already reached the extent of Supreme Strong?

Is King Yan really so young? Doesn't King Yan always wear an ancient bronze mask?

"Are you possibly King Yan?" Su Zhentian curiously asked.

Even the hidden Supreme Strong Expert of the Su Family grew nervous; after all, King Yan is an entity capable of killing Supreme Strongs.

"Cough cough, actually, I am also friends with King Yan, you should know, King Yan and L are friends, and I am friends with L, naturally, I know King Yan too," Lin Hai blinked his eyes.

Even with his father-in-law, he wouldn't casually reveal his own identity.

Moreover, this father-in-law just decisively killed his own brother a moment ago, that was a sour thrill, one must always keep a few tricks up their sleeve.

Su Zhentian was speechless. Can't young people be more proper? Can people no longer have friendly conversations? After all this questioning, he still hasn't revealed his identity, which equates to asking for nothing.

"Young friend, I want to ask if you would be willing to become a retained expert for the Su Family? There are absolutely no constraints, and you will enjoy a monthly stipend from the Su Family. You only need to lend a hand during critical moments of life and death for the Su Family. Of course, if the enemy is too strong, you can also give up on the Su Family, we absolutely won't blame you."

Su Zhentian extended an olive branch. The young man in front of him was already very strong, showing promising potential. For such a person, an early investment means bridging closer relationships, moreover, this guy is almost actively becoming his son-in-law; it's like channeling water to his own field.

...

Half an hour later, Su Zhentian, Su Wanjing, and Lin Hai, went downstairs, where the people of the Su Family were kneeling neatly on the ground, silent as cicadas in winter.

Su Zhentian's authority and control over the Su Family were unshakeable; as long as he lived, no one in the Su Family would dare to speak out.

"Su Liujiu, Su Tianxin, Su Buqi, Su Dou, Su Cunyan, Su Fan, Su Chuju…"

With a cold tone, Su Zhentian waved his hand grandly, and the strongest among the Su Family suddenly reappeared, delivered a deadly blow, and over fifty heads fell.

"Damn, that's ruthless; I'd go to jail for teaching a foreigner a lesson, but this father-in-law can collect a bunch of heads in minutes without any consequences, such a huge disparity in treatment," Lin Hai thought it was highly unfair in his heart.

"From today, Su Wanjing will be the next heir of the Su Family. Does anyone have any doubts?" Su Zhentian asked word by word.

The people of the Su Family didn't even dare to breathe.

"Since there are no doubts, this matter is settled. Even if I meet with an accident, Wanjing's position as the Family Head is beyond question. If anyone has doubts, these people are the consequences. I hope everyone remembers this well," Su Zhentian pointed at the severed heads on the ground.

Everyone buried their heads even deeper. Who would dare to doubt? Sh*t, they would probably be killed in minutes. They were also extremely surprised and envious of Su Wanjing.

The people who died just now were the ones who had previously bullied Su Wanjing.

"This gentleman has been the Su Family's secret retainer for a long time. From now on, when the members of the Su Family see this gentleman, treat him as if I were present myself," Su Zhentian gave the command with a wave of his hand.

The crowd suddenly realized and internally praised the Family Head for always having a strong ace up his sleeve, such a powerful mystery young man had already been their retainer for a long time.

Lin Hai inwardly nodded; Su Zhentian truly deserved to walk step by step to the position of Family Head, just with a few words, he once again unified the hearts of the Su Family members.

Once everything settled down, Lin Hai personally took action to cure Grandmother Su Wanjing's illness. His peak-level acupoint technique astonished both Su Zhentian and that supreme expert.

At night, under the clear and starry sky with a gentle breeze, in the most secluded courtyard within the Su family villa complex.

Lin Hai held Su Wanjing as they sat on the grass by the small lake in the yard, sipping fragrant white wine with one hand and embracing the beauty with the other, happily humming a tune of "Drunk Breeze."

"Lin Hai, today is Christmas Eve."

"Oh? Beauty, you are completely safe now," Lin Hai chuckled, sneakily caressing, enjoying the comfortable feeling of elasticity.

Su Wanjing gazed at Lin Hai tenderly and with deep affection: "This is the best Christmas Eve gift I've ever received from childhood till now."

"Christmas Eve, ah, it's all about eating apples, but many girls get tricked into eating bananas under the pretense of eating apples, and end up drinking soy milk."

"I want to eat fruit as well," Su Wanjing blinked her beautiful eyes, giggling.
