Chapter 137: Please Call Me the God of the Green (Fourth Update—Please Subscribe)

In his previous life, Li Lekang had accompanied clients to play golf a few times, and even then it had only been at a driving range. As for nine-hole or eighteen-hole courses, those were games for the rich.

Golf was different in America. In some respects, it was a middle-class sport, but if you wanted to play comfortably, you still had to spend a great deal of money.

Take Bedbreak’s resort, for example. It was not open to casual visitors; membership was required, and the fee was two hundred thousand dollars. He had also heard that Tiger Woods, the very embodiment of golf’s pinnacle, would be accompanying them the next day.

If an ordinary person participated under such circumstances, they would be lucky even to serve as a caddie and pick up balls, let alone actually play.

But Li Lekang had no such self-awareness. He thought it was more fun to show off in a completely different field once in a while.

Golf was no different from basketball to him. Once he mastered the basics, the rest could be left to his superpowers.

The next day, Olivia hired a champion coach to give him private instruction.

They started with the fundamentals: proper stance, how to swing, how to generate power, and the uses of different clubs. Li Lekang’s head began to ache from listening, so he interrupted:

“So basically, whoever uses fewer swings wins?”

The champion coach felt that this question did not even qualify as something a beginner would ask. It was practically an insult.

However, the row of female bodyguards standing nearby served as an excellent reminder to keep his nonsense to himself. Otherwise, he might end up being buried on the golf course.

The champion coach forced out an enthusiastic smile. “Your understanding is excellent, sir. That is indeed the principle. For instance, this hole has a par of three. Anyone who can finish it in three strokes is already considered very impressive!”

“I’ll give it a try!”

Li Lekang adopted the proper stance and swung with all his strength.

The golf ball shot into the distance, tracing a beautiful arc before landing on the emerald-green lawn.

The coach beside him cried out in astonishment, “Incredible! Onto the green in one! What an amazing shot!”

But that was not the end of it. The hole was not particularly far away. Li Lekang gauged the distance and found that it was just within the range of his spellcasting.

That meant he could remotely control the golf ball and slowly guide it toward the hole.

Just as the coach, judging from experience, concluded that the ball had come to a stop and that they could walk onto the green to putt, the golf ball began rolling forward again.

It even followed a curve.

Straight toward the hole, without the slightest deviation—

Thunk.

It dropped in.

“What? My God! A hole in one! How is that possible?”

The coach was stunned. He instinctively grabbed his head and looked around at everyone.

His mind was filled with the thought that it had to be pure luck.

But Li Lekang’s performance afterward shattered his theory of luck once more.

Apart from shots beyond the range of his spells, as long as the distance was within reach, Li Lekang could put the ball onto the green in one stroke. If he wanted to exaggerate a little, he could even put it straight into the hole.

When he held back slightly, it took him two strokes.

Thus, the sort of results that every golf enthusiast dreamed of—birdies and eagles—kept appearing from the champion coach’s mouth. He was completely dumbfounded.

Looking at those unbelievable scores, feats that even professional players might not be able to achieve, the coach could not help asking Li Lekang, “Sir, is this really your first time playing golf?”

“No.”

Li Lekang felt that he ought to give the man a little hope.

After all, this was far too damaging, wasn’t it?

The champion coach breathed a sigh of relief. So that was how it was. A master had come to pretend to be a novice!

It was just another eccentric hobby of the wealthy.

But Li Lekang’s next sentence sent the coach’s blood pressure soaring again.

“I believe this is my third time playing.”

“Pfft!”

The coach could not hold it in.

Third time? Only the third time?

If Tiger Woods heard that, even he would feel like hitting someone.

The nun bodyguards beside them, however, remained perfectly composed. They had seen too many even more astonishing things. Their Father being this good at golf—wasn’t that only natural?

He had always been this incredible.

In the eyes of the sisterhood, he was capable of anything.

So they applauded and showered him with praise, accompanied by the indispensable beautiful caddies of every golf course.

Li Lekang therefore decided to draw lots to choose two of them to accompany him.

He could not select them directly. Otherwise, those who were not chosen might feel hurt that night and wonder whether they had not performed well enough.

A father had to spread his affection evenly.

Li Lekang spent two hours learning golf that morning.

Or rather, most of the time was spent learning golf-course etiquette.

He did not actually spend much time playing. At least when it came to holes at a moderate distance, he could control the trajectory of the ball.

Naturally, if the hole lay beyond his spellcasting range, even a professional master would make no difference. The final contest would still have to be decided on the green.

Once he reached the green, Li Lekang thought, If you do not call me the God of War today, this is not over.

With soaring confidence and two beautiful caddies dressed in nun’s clothing, he took a helicopter to Bedbreak’s resort.

The entire flight, including landing, took less than ten minutes. After disembarking, they entered the resort and proceeded through security.

Although Bedbreak had become a forgotten figure after leaving the center of power, he had once been the nation’s leader and still enjoyed lifelong protection from the Federal Secret Service. That alone meant there were many rules surrounding him.

Thus, when they reached the security checkpoint, the two nuns willingly removed their weapons. Under the astonished gazes of the men around them, they placed their firearms, daggers, and magazines into the inspection trays.

The security officers were accustomed to routine procedures and had never encountered anything like this. They froze for a moment before finally recovering.

“Ladies, please go through the security gate again.”

After the two women passed through three more times without any problems, the employees watched them enter with expressions of astonishment and curiosity.

Someone whispered behind them, “Even when Bedbreak was still in office, I never saw security arrangements like this!”

“That just proves he still isn’t rich enough!”

The employees nodded in profound agreement.

After all, discussing one’s boss behind his back was a universal tradition among employees everywhere.

As for Li Lekang, he climbed into a golf cart with Stell, the two female bodyguards, and a male assistant carrying the luggage. They drove toward the busiest part of the course.

Under a blue sky and white clouds, lush grass stretched in every direction. On the green, a blond, heavyset old man was wholly focused on his putt. The dark-skinned man beside him, applauding and shouting encouragement, was obviously Woods.

Bedbreak successfully sank his putt and excitedly waved one chubby arm.

Woods’s flattering praise could be heard from a great distance away.

The golf cart quietly pulled up nearby and stopped. Everyone climbed out. Stell immediately put on an enthusiastic air and went over to shake hands with Bedbreak and embrace him.

The tall eldest princess beside him wore a bright smile as well. Though she was already the mother of three children, her figure remained astonishing. Her curves stood out beneath her golf attire, proving that she had once been a supermodel.

Born as a darling of fate, she radiated powerful social confidence. When Li Lekang shook her hand, she immediately spoke of his achievements.

“I’ve heard that your business skills are as miraculous as magic. It’s a pleasure to meet you today!”

Li Lekang chuckled. After lightly clasping her delicate hand, he took the initiative to release it.

“I hope there will be even more miracles to surprise you with.”

At that moment, Stell formally introduced Li Lekang.

“Mr. Li is my most important partner. I would never have achieved what I have today without his support and assistance.”

It was an exceptionally high evaluation coming from him.

Having spent years in New York, the Bedbreak family naturally knew of the Saints. That organization had deeply rooted connections and an immense background. Compared with them, the Bedbreak Group could only be described as a minor player beside a giant.

Stell had risen to power at astonishing speed and was now known as the foremost figure within the Saints. The important partner he spoke of plainly possessed extraordinary abilities.
