The night was as dark as ink, with dense clouds overhead.
Li Feng sat in the car with An Hu, looking at Tianya Pavilion bathed in light, a cold smile on his lips. “Tonight, it starts at Tianya Pavilion. An Hu, is the Black Hawk team in position?”
“Shao Feng, rest assured, everything’s arranged,” An Hu replied, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Tianya Pavilion.
“Good. Let’s go in.”
Li Feng got out of the car and walked toward Tianya Pavilion with An Hu.
“Who are you?”
At the entrance, a security guard stopped them. Li Feng looked up and saw it was Wu Tao, someone he knew.
With a cold smile, Li Feng slapped him. “Who do you think we are?”
“It’s… it’s you…” Wu Tao’s face paled upon seeing Li Feng.
Li Feng sneered and walked into Tianya Pavilion with An Hu.
“You can’t go in. Tianya Pavilion’s closed today,” Wu Tao shouted, lunging at Li Feng with a vicious glint in his eyes.
“Get lost!”
An Hu let out a furious grunt and kicked Wu Tao, sending him flying.
Wu Tao groaned, crashing to the ground, feeling as if every bone in his body was shattered. Watching Li Feng and An Hu enter Tianya Pavilion, he struggled to pull out his walkie-talkie to report the situation.
“Shao Feng…”
An Hu glanced back at Wu Tao’s actions, then looked at Li Feng, making a throat-cutting gesture, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
“Just a clown.”
Li Feng sneered and walked toward the main hall.
Tianya Pavilion, third floor, control room.
As Li Feng entered, a Black Stone Gang member in the control room shouted, “It’s Li Feng!”
“What, Li Feng?” Several other members rushed over, staring at the screen showing Li Feng and An Hu. A scar-faced man sneered, “Didn’t expect Li Feng to show up himself. Quick, inform Manager Wang.”
“Yes.” A subordinate immediately dialed Wang Xiong’s number.
“What, Li Feng’s here?” Wang Xiong was lounging, enjoying a massage from two attendants while planning for tomorrow. Hearing the report, he was stunned, then grinned with delight.
“Didn’t expect Li Feng to walk right into our hands. He’s asking for death.”
Wang Xiong’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Tell the brothers to assemble immediately. Even if we can’t kill Li Feng in Tianya Pavilion tonight, we’ll toy with him until he’s done.”
“Yes.”
Wang Xiong kicked the attendants aside and stood up abruptly. “Li Feng, let’s have a little meeting.”
After dressing, he was about to leave when he remembered something. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Li Quan, Li Feng’s at Tianya Pavilion. Get over here now.”
Tianya Pavilion, main hall.
Normally, at this hour, Tianya Pavilion’s hall would be buzzing, especially in the massive dance floor where young men and women danced wildly. But now, the only sound was deafening snoring.
When Li Feng and An Hu entered the hall, they saw burly men sprawled across sofas, asleep. It was obvious these were the Black Stone Gang’s elite members.
“Looks like we came at the right time.”
Looking at the men, a chilling glint flashed across Li Feng’s lips.
These men weren’t the entirety of the Black Stone Gang’s forces, but they were formidable, undoubtedly the gang’s core strength. Were they gathered here to deal with him? They really overestimated him.
If they weren’t here for him, why had the Black Stone Gang assembled so many? Was there another reason?
But none of that mattered now. What mattered was that after tonight, the Black Stone Gang would cease to exist.
“Who’s there?” A loud shout rang out, and a burly man sprang up, warily eyeing Li Feng and An Hu.
At his shout, over a hundred men woke from their sleep, staring at Li Feng with caution.
“Not bad for the Black Stone Gang’s elite.”
Li Feng’s pupils narrowed. From their swift reactions, these men were clearly well-trained. The Black Stone Gang’s status as Tianhai City’s top underground force was no fluke.
“Shao Feng, what are you doing at Tianya Pavilion at this hour?”
At that moment, a voice came from the elevator. Li Feng looked up to see Wang Xiong emerging with two subordinates.
“Manager Wang, are you surprised to see me?” Li Feng’s gaze settled on Wang Xiong, and he suddenly smiled.
“Very surprised. I was planning to invite Shao Feng tomorrow, but here you are tonight,” Wang Xiong said, relieved to see Li Feng had only one companion. No matter how formidable Li Feng was, could he overturn the odds? If Master Wen hadn’t insisted on bringing so many men to deal with Li Feng, Wang Xiong wouldn’t have gathered this many.
In his view, no matter how strong Li Feng or his bodyguard was, in Tianhai City, the Black Stone Gang could take his life, and no one could protect him.
Wang Xiong was unaware that Master Wen had arranged so many men to guard against the Li family experts by Li Feng’s side.
To a small fry like Wang Xiong, the Li family’s power was beyond his comprehension. He thought Master Wen was being overly cautious.
“So, I’ve walked into a trap?” Li Feng smiled, his tone still relaxed. “What did Manager Wang want with me?”
“Shao Feng, have you forgotten? You owe Tiantian Loans fifteen billion. I’d like to ask when you plan to repay it,” Wang Xiong said.
“The loan? There’s still eleven months left. Isn’t Manager Wang a bit impatient? The raw stones bought with that money are still in the warehouse. I can’t repay it now. Besides, I’m waiting for Young Master Liu to make money for me.”
Li Feng smiled, looking at Wang Xiong calmly. “Moreover, I mortgaged Xiangfeng Investment to you. What are you worried about?”
“Hmph, Li Feng, your Xiangfeng Investment is worthless. Do you take me for an idiot?” Wang Xiong snorted, glaring at Li Feng coldly. “This was all planned by you from the start, wasn’t it? If you don’t give me an explanation today, you won’t leave here.”
“An explanation?”
Li Feng sneered. “Why should I? I never sought out Tiantian Loans. You came to me. I didn’t ask for the fifteen billion. I can repay it, but only after a year. Right now, I don’t have a single cent.”
“As for Xiangfeng Investment, don’t you loan sharks care what I mortgaged? Or are you worried I’ll run? Or do you have another motive?”
Wang Xiong was speechless. They did have another motive, one not fit for public scrutiny. Naturally, he wouldn’t admit it when questioned by Li Feng.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiong looked at him coldly. “Shao Feng, you’re quite the talker. But since you’re here today, you won’t be leaving until you repay the money.”
Li Feng sneered. “Oh, Manager Wang wants to keep me here? Are you sure you have the ability?”
Wang Xiong drew a steel knife, grinning savagely. “Shao Feng, you’ll find out soon enough.”
