Chapter 132: A Sense of Crisis, Keeping a Low Profile!
Page (1/3)
By then, Lin Han had already drifted into sleep when a burst of red light suddenly exploded in his mind. He awoke with a start and sat upright, gulping down fresh air.
That long-familiar sensation...
A sense of danger!
The passive effect of the Eye of Heaven!
Someone had arrived!
As Lin Han pondered the situation, a shadow slipped through the crack beneath the door. From within it emerged Feihua, fully armed.
“You felt it too?” Lin Han asked.
Feihua nodded solemnly. “That’s right. The protection period of Millennium Commercial City ends after midnight, so I didn’t sleep tonight.”
“Just now, I sensed a Supreme Realm expert in the residential district. The feeling was very similar to the last time. If I’m not mistaken, people from the Ma family have found us.”
Lin Han’s expression darkened. “I knew they would act as soon as possible, but I didn’t expect them to come this quickly. They arrived the moment the protection period ended.”
“But how did they find this place? They shouldn’t have much information about me. Could someone have informed them?”
“Probably not. I still trust Manager Liu,” Feihua said thoughtfully. “They must have used some kind of tracking item.”
“A tracking item?”
Lin Han was surprised.
“That’s right.” Feihua explained, “There are tracking items capable of locating a specific person, though they have their limitations. They can only determine a general area. I never expected the Ma family to possess such a rare item.”
“Without something like that, it would have been nearly impossible for them to find us so quickly.”
Lin Han fell into thought. At present, only Feihua and Manager Liu within Millennium Commercial City knew his identity. Feihua had remained by his side the entire time, and since she had already been paid, she had no reason to do such a thing.
As for Manager Liu, although the man was mysterious, he did not seem like someone who would deliberately set Lin Han up.
Thus, Lin Han became even more convinced that the Ma family had used some sort of item. Otherwise, their arrival would have been impossible.
“Will they find this place?” Lin Han asked doubtfully.

“I’m not sure,” Feihua replied. “But the general area should be within a few kilometers. This is a villa district, and there are no other buildings nearby, so they can determine that you must be somewhere within this community.”
“If they continue searching house by house, we may be exposed.”
Lin Han’s voice turned grave. “Under no circumstances can they learn my true identity. I don’t care what happens to me, but my parents could be in danger.”
“We can’t rule out the possibility that, driven into desperation, they’ll go after my family.”
“What are you suggesting?” Feihua asked. “You want to go after them first? That’s a veteran Supreme Realm expert. I may not be confident I can deal with him.”
“I don’t want to do this either,” Lin Han said, “but given the circumstances, it’s our only option. There aren’t many residents in this community, while the Ma family is a colossal power that won’t care in the slightest about the people living here.”
“So we won’t be able to hide for long.”
“If we don’t strike first, I can’t imagine what might happen.”
Feihua sighed. “You really are impossible to understand. What’s the difference between this and throwing your life away?”
“We don’t need to fight them. We only have to draw them away and get them out of here as quickly as possible. We’ll try to take the equipment they’re carrying. That will make things much safer for us.”
“Afterward, finding us won’t be so easy,” Lin Han explained.
“I’ll say the same thing again: if you’re afraid, you can take your money and leave. I won’t force you.”
Feihua bristled. “Who do you think you’re talking to? I, Feihua, accepted this assignment. There’s no chance I’m backing out now.”
“Good. Then we’ll have to work hard tonight.”
Lin Han put on his clothes, then immediately activated the Free God Mask. This time, he disguised himself as an utterly ordinary-looking man.
Feihua said, “You can walk ahead. I’ll hide in your shadow and wait for an opportunity. If we can seriously injure that Supreme Realm expert, we’ll save ourselves a great deal of trouble.”
“No problem.”
With that, Lin Han opened the window and leapt out.
The Eye of God activated instantly, and the entire residential district came into view. He immediately spotted two extremely suspicious figures.
“Just as I thought. The Fourth Young Master of the Ma family is here, along with that Supreme Realm expert from before.”
Lin Han spoke softly.

From within his shadow, Feihua said, “Be careful. We only need to lure them away. Don’t make a move unless absolutely necessary.”
“I know.”
With that, Lin Han began walking toward them.
At the same time, on the opposite side of the villa district, Ma Tianxing examined the item in his hand.
“It looks like they should be somewhere in this villa district.”
“So that person lives here. All we have to do now is inspect the houses one by one.”
Uncle Zhang said, “Young Master, if we conduct a search, we may attract the attention of the Huiyue City government. The family head instructed us to keep a low profile.”
“Relax,” Ma Tianxing replied. “Even if the local government finds out, what can they do? Surely they wouldn’t dare offend the Ma family.”
“Now that we’ve found his trail, do you expect me to give up?”
“Very well, Young Master. Be careful.”
Uncle Zhang did not try to dissuade him further. But suddenly, his expression grew tense.
“Young Master, I can feel a gaze watching us.”
“What?”
Ma Tianxing looked around. “I don’t see anyone.”
“No. It was an ability, not someone looking at me directly. It lasted only for an instant, but I still sensed it.” Uncle Zhang spoke with utter seriousness.
“It seems the person we’re looking for has already discovered us. To use such a method, he must be quite powerful. He nearly managed to deceive me.”
At Uncle Zhang’s words, Ma Tianxing’s expression became solemn.
“Uncle Zhang, you’re a level sixty-four Supreme Realm expert. There may not even be more than a few people in the entire family capable of dealing with you. If he nearly escaped your notice, then just how powerful is he?”
“I don’t know,” Uncle Zhang replied. “Be more vigilant from now on.”
“All right, Uncle Zhang. I understand.”
As Ma Tianxing spoke, he suddenly saw a figure standing atop a distant tree.
“Fourth Young Master of the Ma family. It seems you’re looking for me. Why don’t we move somewhere else and catch up? I imagine neither of us wants to attract the police and have them ruin our reunion.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark figure vanished from the tree and began racing into the distance.
