Chapter 418 Let him face it himself
Han City.
The morning sunlight is wonderful in the villas of Beichen Garden.
Li Ze sat on the sofa.
He held the string of beads in his hand, slowly rotating his thumb.
Zhang Ruoran sat next to her, looking at a long list of invitations.
The wedding is in the middle of next month, and there are a lot of guests to invite. She is checking the guest list very carefully every day.
The television was on. It was showing news reports about wars breaking out between different regions in other countries.
Flames were everywhere, and there were scenes of houses collapsing everywhere.
Li Menghan and Li Mengli came down from upstairs.
They saw the images on television.
Li Menghan's eyes lit up immediately.
Ever since he learned that his father was the invincible Celestial Emperor of the entire universe, and that his father had taught him that incredibly magical "fire control technique," he had been living a life of immense joy.
Li Menghan practices at home every day.
Although it was just a ball of fire that wouldn't burn anyone, Li Menghan felt that she was already a very powerful cultivator.
He felt his body brimming with power.
Li Menghan walked up to Li Ze.
He shouted, "Dad! Look at those people abroad. They've destroyed cities just to loot things!"
"The whole world is in chaos right now. Only our Dragon Kingdom is safe."
Li Menghan's tone became very agitated:
"Dad, you're so capable, why don't you go and do something about them?"
"If you intervene, those people will definitely stop immediately."
Li Ze heard what his son said.
He took a sip of tea.
He smiled very easily.
He looked at Li Menghan and shook his head.
Why should I care about them?
"If they want to fight, that's their own business."
"I have to help your mother prepare for the wedding every day, and I also have to handle company matters."
"I don't have that much free time to be their policeman."
Li Ze said in a very domineering manner:
"As long as they don't mess with us, even if they tear the sky apart, it's none of my business."
Hearing my dad say that...
Li Menghan found it very incomprehensible.
He felt that with such great abilities, he should go out and make a name for himself.
Just at this time.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
The old man went over and opened the door.
A few seconds later, Lao Yi walked in with several men in military uniforms.
These people are all very high-ranking generals in the Dragon Kingdom.
The one leading the group had a very high military rank hanging on his shoulder.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Li Ze sitting on the sofa.
He immediately gave a very respectful military salute.
He said loudly, "Mr. Li, I apologize for disturbing you."
"We are acting on orders from the highest levels. We have come to Han City specifically to visit you."
Li Ze did not stand up.
He simply nodded very casually.
"Have a seat. Just say what's on your mind."
The general sat down on the sofa opposite him.
His expression was very serious.
He looked at Li Ze and said in a very sincere voice:
"Mr. Li, you should already know what's happening in those overseas regions."
"The whole world is in chaos now."
"Although our Dragon Kingdom is very safe, several of our neighboring countries have started fighting."
The general took a deep breath and continued:
"The wars between those neighboring countries have seriously affected the security of our Dragon Kingdom's borders."
"Moreover, those foreign warlords also possess many extremely dangerous weapons."
"The highest levels are very worried. If this chaos continues to escalate, it will definitely affect the people of our Dragon Kingdom."
The general looked at Li Ze. His eyes were full of pleading.
"Mr. Li."
"We already know about your power."
"You single-handedly wiped out those few extremely terrifying cultivators. You also withstood thousands of nuclear bombs."
"You are the most powerful person in the world right now."
The general stood up and bowed very solemnly to Li Ze.
"The highest levels have entrusted me to represent the Dragon Kingdom and formally request your assistance."
"We need your help to quell the chaos in the surrounding countries."
"As long as you're willing to help, whatever your conditions, the country will do everything in its power to meet them."
Upon hearing what the general said...
Zhang Ruoran and Li Mengli both widened their eyes.
Although they knew Li Ze was very capable, when high-ranking officials from the country personally came to them seeking help...
This feeling is still very shocking.
but.
Li Ze sat on the sofa.
His hand gesture of turning the beads remained unchanged.
There was no excitement on his face.
He looked at the general.
Li Ze shook his head decisively.
He answered loudly:
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
The general was stunned when he heard this.
He assumed Li Ze would agree readily. After all, this was a request at the national level.
The general quickly said, "Mr. Li, this concerns countless lives! How can you..."
Li Ze reached out his hand, interrupting the general.
He said very calmly:
"I already said that."
"I'm just a businessman. I'm not a savior."
"I took action because they offended me and threatened my family."
"Those foreigners are fighting in their own countries. They're not causing trouble in China. I have no reason to interfere with them."
Li Ze's voice turned extremely cold:
"and."
"Doesn't your military have so many advanced weapons?"
"Don't they have an army of several million?"
"This kind of work of quelling conflict should be done by your military."
"If I have to do everything, then what's the point of your army?"
Li Ze's words were very direct, leaving the other party no room for embarrassment whatsoever.
The general stood there. His face was flushed red.
He knew Li Ze was right. But the situation was indeed very urgent.
Just when the general didn't know how to persuade them...
Li Menghan, who had been standing to the side the whole time.
He suddenly strode out.
Li Menghan looked at the general. His eyes gleamed with excitement.
He said loudly:
"You don't need to beg my dad anymore!"
"My dad doesn't want to go. I'll go!"
Upon hearing this...
Everyone in the living room turned to look at Li Menghan.
Li Ze frowned.
He looked at his son and shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? What are you going to do?"
Li Menghan turned her head and looked at Li Ze.
He said very seriously:
"Dad! You don't want to get involved with them. But I want to!"
"I am now a cultivator! I have mastered the spells you taught me!"
"I possess such immense power. I should go out and accomplish great things!"
Li Menghan pointed to the screen on the television.
His voice was very excited:
"I'm going to quell the war! I'm going to save the ordinary people!"
"I want the whole world to know that I, Li Menghan, am not just a rich second-generation heir who only knows how to spend money."
"I am a hero who can save the world!"
Li Menghan has been learning that "fire control technique" these past few days.
His confidence had inflated to the extreme.
He thought, since his father could single-handedly withstand a nuclear bomb...
As his father's son, he would certainly be able to defeat those warlords all by himself.
Zhang Ruoran was startled by her son's words and immediately stood up.
She grabbed Li Menghan's arm and said loudly:
"Meng Han! Are you crazy?!"
"There's a war going on outside! People are really dying there!"
"You've never even held a gun before. How can you go to war! You stay home and behave yourself!"
Li Menghan forcefully shook off Zhang Ruoran's hand.
He insisted very stubbornly:
"Mom! Don't worry about me!"
"I have magic! I'm not afraid of their guns!"
Li Menghan looked at Li Ze.
He pleaded loudly:
"Dad! Please let me go!"
"I promise. I will handle this perfectly!"
Li Ze sat on the sofa.
He looked at his son, who was so fervent and eager to prove himself.
He found it very funny.
This kid. He's been practicing that fake fire control technique at home these past few days. He really thinks he's some kind of god.
He had no idea that the "magic" he possessed was entirely a cheat code that Li Ze had given him.
If he were to leave Li Ze, he wouldn't even be able to light a single match.
Li Ze originally wanted to refuse him directly.
but.
Li Ze thought about it for a moment.
"This kid. All he can think about now is being a hero."
"If I forcefully stop him, he will definitely be very resentful. He might even sneak out on his own again later."
"Since he's so eager to go out and see the world, let him go."
Li Ze looked at Li Menghan.
A very relaxed smile appeared on his face.
He said in a very humorous way:
"Okay."
"Since you're so confident..."
"Then go ahead."
Hearing that Li Ze had actually agreed.
Zhang Ruoran and Li Mengli were both anxious.
"Li Ze! How could you let him go!" Zhang Ruoran shouted loudly.
Li Ze waved to Zhang Ruoran.
"Honey, don't worry."
"Boys should go out and exercise more. It's not a bad thing."
Li Ze turned his head and looked at the general in military uniform.
He said loudly:
"Didn't you need help?"
"I'll lend you my son."
"Send a plane. Take him to the other side of the border."
The general was somewhat stunned when he heard Li Ze's arrangement.
He thought to himself, "What we want is you, the invincible Celestial Emperor of the entire universe!"
What's the point of sending your son, who's only a freshman in college? Can he even stop a missile?
However, the general dared not refuse Li Ze.
He could only nod very reluctantly.
"Okay...okay, Mr. Li. We'll arrange the plane right away."
Li Menghan heard her father agree.
He was so happy that he jumped up.
He shouted, "Great! Dad! Don't worry! I definitely won't let you down!"
Li Menghan ran straight upstairs to pack her clothes.
Zhang Ruoran looked at Li Ze with great anger.
She shouted:
"Li Ze! What are you thinking?!"
"Are you really letting him go to war alone?! What if something happens to him? I'll fight you to the death!"
Li Ze stood up.
He reached out and gently put his arm around Zhang Ruoran's shoulder.
He leaned close to Zhang Ruoran's ear.
He said in a very soft, very relaxed voice:
"Honey, don't worry."
"Do you think I would let my own son go to his death?"
"I'm giving him a lesson."
"When he gets there and finds that all his spells are useless, he'll know what fear is."
Li Ze smiled.
He continued:
"Don't worry. I'll have Old One take a thousand cyborgs and follow him in the shadows."
"If he encounters even the slightest danger, Lao Yi will immediately rescue him."
"This is a very good opportunity for him to experience life."
Hearing Li Ze say that...
Zhang Ruoran felt a little more at ease.
She sighed and said:
"You're the kind of person who just loves to pull these kinds of tricks."
"If he's really frightened, you must bring him back immediately."
Li Ze nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay. I'll do whatever you say."
Half an hour later.
Li Menghan came downstairs carrying a large bag.
His face was full of confident smiles.
He walked to the door and looked at the general.
He shouted, "Let's go! We'll quell the war now!"
Li Menghan got into a military vehicle and went directly to the airport.
Li Ze stood in front of the living room window.
Watching the car drive away.
He took out his phone and sent a message to the old man.
"Bring a thousand cyborgs. Protect them covertly."
"Don't help him. Let him face it himself."
"Let him see what real war is like."
