Chapter 37
Callen LaFaye, Russell’s grandfather, was a retired officer from the province . Lin Sheng did not know his exact position, but based on the attitudes of the others, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary officer .
“If it’s Grandpa Callen, it’ll be fine . Although the White Tarots are strong, Grandpa Callen won’t be provoked by a few thugs!” Shayeen affirmed .
“Don’t worry, master, it’ll be okay this time . ” Madillan nodded too .
Lin Sheng did not speak . He looked calm, but no one noticed that he was holding the hilt of his sword tightly .
After someone cleaned up the scene, they took a taxi back to the club .
Their field training was temporarily suspended . No one was in the mood for lessons after that .
Lin Sheng corrected their basic stance slightly, and in addition to the Central Irongate, he also taught them the Crown style . Once that was settled, he began to pack up and leave the club .
It was sunny outside, and the air was fresh with the smell of the sea .
In a corner of the club, a couple was kissing and cuddling as if no one was around . The boy unscrupulously reached his hand into the girl’s jacket .
Lin Sheng’s footsteps startled the young couple .
Frightened, the young couple quickly left, but the young man threw Lin Sheng a resentful look before he left .
Dressed in a white tracksuit and carrying a sword, Lin Sheng walked to the bus stop next to the club and waited for the bus with several primary school students .
Soon, on the right side of the street, a lilac car approached slowly and silently . It stopped right at the club’s gate .
The door opened and a grizzled old man in a long black silk coat stepped out .
The old man walked to the door of the club, but when he saw Lin sheng, he stopped .

“Mr . Lin?” the old man asked suddenly .
They were more than five meters apart, but Lin Sheng could clearly feel that the old man’s eyes were on him .
He paused, glancing at the old man’s clothes and the silver decorative border on the door of the car behind him . He knew that the man was not someone ordinary from one glance .
“You are?” he asked, taking a few steps forward .
“I’m Lenny, Russell’s uncle . I’ve heard him talk about you,” the old man introduced himself, looking Lin Sheng up and down .
He had met many young men, but never one like Lin Sheng, who gave him an air of inexplicable coldness . It was not something an ordinary senior in high school usually had .
In his eyes, Lin Sheng, who was dressed in a white tracksuit, bore some resemblance to his father when he was young . They were both calm and strong .
“Hello uncle, what brings you here all of a sudden?” Lin Sheng had a rough guess .
“The White Tarots, as you had expected . I’m here to personally inform you that the problem has been settled . You guys need to be careful . Don’t mess with those thugs . ” Lenny dropped his voice .
“Mr . Callen LaFaye settled the matter himself?” asked Lin Sheng .
“Yes . Alright, work hard . The college entrance examination’s coming up,” Lenny said gently .
Although Lin Sheng came from an ordinary family, Lenny seemed to appreciate the boy very much .
After all, the three kids had never truly admired anyone from the bottom of their heart, not even the special instructor he hired previously . Yet, this boy made the cut .
Lin Sheng nodded slightly and said goodbye politely as he saw the uncle push the club door open and walk in .

He then returned to the bus stop . After a few minutes, the bus came .
He stood among the crowd, looking calm, but deep inside he was in turmoil .
For several days, he was able to enter the dream realm . However, he could not enter Blackfeather City . He just explored the area around the wall .
There were some holes in the walls . Since the front gate was extremely dangerous, he planned to take another route into the city .
A big city like that could not possibly have only one entrance .
He did not gain much for three days, but in the course of his exploration, he killed a few rotten swordsmen who were wandering aimlessly around .
Despite that, the memories he obtained were mostly the same, nothing new .
A week had passed…
Lin Sheng was running in the drizzling rain .
In his dream, dark clouds filled the sky .
It was very dark in the wild . He was behind the city, a few kilometers away from the entrance to the city .
The surrounding weeds were half the height of a man, and some noises rang out from time to time .
Lin Sheng was gripping the hilt of his sword . After some time of adjustment, he was finally able to take full control of his sword
At the same time, he could feel a slight increase in his physical strength .

“It’s all because I’ve been exercising lately . It’s been slow, but it worked . ”
*Swoosh!*
Suddenly, his sword flashed and disappeared into the darkness on his right .
The body of a rotten swordsman lay flat on its back and stopped moving after the swordsman struggled for a while .
Lin Sheng quickly stepped forward to check the body . There was nothing but a few black coins in his moneybag .
As for the black sword in the corpse’s hand, Lin Sheng did not even look at it .
With the heavy sword from that previous rotten swordsman, the other weapons were nothing .
After absorbing the inky black lines, he went on running at full speed .
The only sound in the darkness was his echoing footfalls .
Suddenly, he saw something and slowed down .
Directly in front of him, less than ten meters away, a wall had collapsed, leaving an obvious gap .
Gray bricks and stones were scattered all over the grass, overlaying a large area of weeds .
The gap was more than three meters high and one meter wide . Behind it was an alley, which was situated between two houses .
Lin Sheng was overjoyed . That was what he wanted!
He approached it quickly and cautiously, gripping the hilt of his sword and breathing slowly .
He stood at the gap and looked in .
Inside, the dark alley stretched out to the main street of the city, where faint yellow streetlights could be seen .
The ground reflected a thick, greasy stain, and to the right, there were several large black drums with something inside .
Lin Sheng moved his vision up and down carefully, listening to the sounds around him .
His previous experience told him that Blackfeather City was a very dangerous area . In gaming terms, he had run into an advanced area .
Lin Sheng took a deep breath and walked silently into the gap .
His sneakers clattered across the rubble as he moved forward . His mind was also rapidly analyzing his surroundings to determine where he was .
“This… should be the back of a kitchen . ”
Lin Sheng walked slowly down the alley . It felt like his sneakers were stepping on a thick blanket with a little black grease sticking on the soles; it made him uncomfortable .
When he reached the end of the alley, he stopped and peered around warily .
There was nothing on the main street .
