Chapter 98 Patton Jin
Generally, an ordinary martial artist couldn't practice and reach the Transformed Period without opportunities and talents.
It was hard enough for ordinary people to reach the Obscure Period. Most people spent their whole lives practicing martial arts. Still, they could only stay in the middle and later period of the Obvious Period. However, martial artists could already use power to get benefits. And it could also be the guest of honor of the upper class as long as they were in the middle and later period of the Obvious Period.
Take Jed as an example, though he was kneeling to Finn like a poor dog now, he was a famous big shot in the outside world. To support Jed, his family took tens of thousands of yuan from the family company almost every year to buy various resources for Jed's training.
His family also especially built a villa by the lake for him and hired several young beautiful models to serve him.
So indeed, Jed was much popular and successful in the ordinary people's world.
Jed was just a martial artist in the middle and later period of the Obvious Period. Once one reached the Obscure Period, even the richest person in City C, Hans, had to show full respect to him.
As for martial artists in the Transformed Period, power and wealth in the temporal life can no longer tempt them.
"How about martial artists in the Obscure Period?" Finn continued to ask. Among the people who tried to murder him in those years, there were martial artists in the Obscure Period. It was very likely that there were local martial artists in City J involved.
"Young master Chen, martial artists in the Obscure Period. There are about more than a dozen martial artists in the Obscure Period in City J, for example......" Jed listed a dozen names, and Finn remembered these names in obscurity. Finn decided to figure out the unknown background and information of those people to check whether they were involved in the murder of him
"Also, the old man, who accompanied young master Yang just now, is also a martial artist in the Obscure Period. Still, I don't know what period he is in. " Jed added cautiously. He had no idea of who Finn was. But noticing the respectful behavior of Thomas, he knew Finn wouldn't be a small potato. Therefore, he didn't dare to hide anything he knew. Fin nodded slightly. Finn recognized the competence of Trent very easily and immediately. Trent was in the middle of the Obscure Period. Still, it would be very soon for him to break through into the Obscure Period's later period.
"Well, young master Chen. I heard the leader of King Kong Martial Arts Club, Patton Jin also made a breakthrough into the Obscure Period recently,” Jed said in a tone of admiration.
Patton had been a martial artist in the later period of the Obvious Period just like him, and they had enjoyed the same social status. However, now Patton broke through into the Obscure Period, and the difference between them stretched a lot.
At least when he met Patton in the future, he had to call him senior to show respect.
Moreover, Patton himself would be drawn by the major forces of City J in the future, become the overlord of somewhere, and own as many training resources as he wanted.
Martial artists in the Obvious Period and martial artists in the Obscure Period are two totally different things.
"King Kong Martial Arts Club?" Finn frowned. It occurred to him that Lowe had mentioned Talbot was trained there. He recognized that Talbot was in the early period of the Obvious Period when he fought with Talbot. Obviously, the one who taught Talbot fist position was one of the men who endeavored to murder him three years ago. So Talbot was more than suspicious. Even he was likely to join the murder personally!
"What's wrong with King Kong Martial Arts Club? Young master Chen?" Jed asked cautiously. Finn remained a plain look when Jed talked about the other forces before. Still, Finn was obviously interested in the King Kong Martial Arts Club.
"Nothing." Finn shook his head. Suddenly, Finn stated: "I would like to assign you an assignment. If you make it, I will help you cure your leg." "You are too polite, young master Chen. Please feel free to ask me to do anything. As for my leg, I can deal with it myself. Don't worry.” Jed was kind of frightened, but he was excited from the bottom of his heart. If he made it and appreciated by Finn, he would be under Finn's protection, and the Lee wouldn't dare to pick on him
"Just a little case. As long as you accomplish my wish, I will ask someone to cure your leg just by simple greetings.” Finn answered plainly.
"Young master Chen, please tell me the details of the task. I will definitely try my best and get it done.” Jed said respectfully.
"I want you to make friends with Patton and get some information from him,” Finn explained.
"No problem, young master Chen, what do you want to know?" Jed immediately patted his chest for assurance. He had known Patton before, and he thought Patton would tell him anything except some top secret things.
"I want to know whether Patton was involved in a murder three years ago. If he did so, I want to know whoever else was involved.” Finn said word by word. Now that he was competent enough, he would be sure to revenge. He wouldn't let his partners who had protected him die in vain!
"Got it, young master Chen. I promise I will figure this out.”
"You must always remember: Never act rashly and alert the enemy,” Finn warned. Once Patton heard something and ran away, it would be difficult to find him again.
"Young master Chen, please trust my competence. Don't worry." Jed said for assurance immediately.
"Ok, go." Finn nodded. It would take a long time to figure this out. After knowing the murderers three years ago, he also needed to make a deliberate plan. After all, it was likely to involve some martial artists in the Obscure Period.
"Yes, young master Chen."
After Jed's leave, Marin came in.
"Marin, could you please tell me what happened to the case of Laura's parents?” Finn asked. He asked Marin to investigate when he just arrived at City J.
If Laura's parents were really treated unjustly, he would help them seek justice.
"Young master Chen, I have sent someone to investigate the case. The information I get till now is that there is nothing wrong with Jared and May's wine, but they offended a local retailer. The retailer mixed the problem wine with their wine and sold it to an old man who had heart disease. After drinking the problem wine, he was attacked by his heart disease and was sent to the emergence room. But he didn't survive. He died that night.
"The retailer is easy to deal with. Now that we have evidence, we can send him to jail at any time. But what is hard to deal with is the old man’s relatives. They are unwilling to accept compensation and claim that they will send the retailer to jail. Jared and May made the wine. It was true they have something to do with the death of the old man.” Marin said and glanced at Finn spontaneously.
"The old man's relatives are very influential?" Finn realized the key to the problem immediately.
