“Is that so?” Li Feng narrowed his eyes at Fu Yanxiong. He genuinely could not understand where this man’s smugness was coming from. From the way Fu Yanxiong was talking, it sounded as though Li Feng had no choice but to beg him or die.
“Of course. If you don’t want to die, agree to my three conditions and I guarantee the Zheng family will never hear that Zheng Xiaoyang’s death had anything to do with you.” Fu Yanxiong was more excited than he had ever been. In his view, Li Feng was an utter idiot for revealing Zheng Xiaoyang’s death to him. Zheng Xiaoyang was a key figure in the Zheng family. As long as he informed them that Li Feng was involved, the Zheng family would hunt Li Feng to the ends of the earth. If Li Feng didn’t want to be chased across the world, he would have to accept the conditions.
“Oh? Then I’m very curious to hear these conditions of yours,” Li Feng said, a cold glint flashing across his eyes.
“I have three.”
Fu Yanxiong noticed the cold light in Li Feng’s eyes but paid it no mind. He knew Li Feng was furious and afraid right now, yet so what? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if he couldn’t kill Li Feng, he could still use him to achieve several goals. That alone would satisfy him completely.
When he had first seen Li Feng, he had been shocked and incredulous, but now boundless excitement filled his heart.
“Three conditions. Young Master Fu certainly doesn’t lack ambition,” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Tell me, what are these three conditions of yours?” A sharp gleam appeared in Li Feng’s eyes.
“My conditions won’t be difficult for Young Master Feng.” Fu Yanxiong looked at him smugly. “First, I want that batch of chemical equipment immediately.”
“Haha, Young Master Fu has gone to such lengths for that equipment. I’m simply dying to know what you need it for,” Li Feng asked with genuine curiosity.
“Hmph, Li Feng, that’s none of your business,” Fu Yanxiong snorted.
“I’m in no hurry. Young Master Fu will tell me eventually.” Li Feng gave a meaningful smile.
Fu Yanxiong merely snorted again. Tell him? Not a chance.
“And the second condition?” Li Feng continued.
“Second, I want your shares in Fengyuan Group,” Fu Yanxiong said gravely. Although Fengyuan Group was currently facing difficulties, Fu Yanxiong knew its potential was limitless. If he wanted to compete for the Fu family inheritance, he needed enormous wealth. He had long coveted Fengyuan Group, but until now he had never found an opening. With this chance, how could he let it pass?
“It seems Young Master Fu isn’t greedy at all,” Li Feng remarked, a sharp light in his eyes.
“Li Feng, you brought this on yourself,” Fu Yanxiong said coldly.
“And the third condition?” Li Feng pressed on.
“Third…” Fu Yanxiong paused for a moment before continuing, “Third, I want you to kill Song Zhiyuan.”
“Kill Song Zhiyuan?” Li Feng was taken aback. This third condition had caught him completely off guard.
“Exactly. Kill Song Zhiyuan.” A ruthless glint flashed in Fu Yanxiong’s eyes. Song Zhiyuan belonged to the Song family, and every member of the Fu family wanted the Song family dead. Fu Yanxiong was no exception. The moment he saw Song Zhiyuan, he had wanted him gone.
But now he believed that having Li Feng kill Song Zhiyuan would be far more effective than doing it himself. After all, Li Feng was the eldest son of the Li family. If word spread that Li Feng had murdered Song Zhiyuan, it might turn the Li and Song families against each other, which was precisely what the Fu family wanted to see.
Li Feng smiled faintly. “Is that all? Young Master Fu has no other conditions?”
“Just these three.” It wasn’t that Fu Yanxiong lacked further demands. For instance, he could have asked Li Feng to hand over Hu Yuanyuan, a woman he had lusted after for ages. But he feared that demanding her would enrage Li Feng into a fight to the death. Thinking of Li Feng’s combat strength, Fu Yanxiong suppressed that particular desire.
“I thought Young Master Fu would have seven or eight conditions. I never imagined there were only three,” Li Feng said with an exaggerated sigh.
“Li Feng, are you going to accept them or not?” Fu Yanxiong asked coldly.
Li Feng smiled and countered, “What do you think, Young Master Fu? Will I accept?”
“What do you mean?” Fu Yanxiong’s expression changed. Li Feng’s calm demeanour gave him a bad feeling.
“Nothing much. I simply wanted to inform Young Master Fu that I won’t be accepting a single one of your conditions.” Li Feng gave a cold laugh.
Want that chemical equipment?
Want shares in Fengyuan Group?
Want him to kill Song Zhiyuan?
In Li Feng’s view, Fu Yanxiong was a complete moron who still hadn’t grasped his own situation.
“You won’t accept? Li Feng, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the Zheng family about Zheng Xiaoyang’s death?” Fu Yanxiong said icily.
“Hahahaha…”
Li Feng burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Fu Yanxiong’s face darkened.
“I’m laughing because you’re an idiot,” Li Feng said through his laughter.
“What did you say?” Fu Yanxiong’s pupils contracted, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
“I said you’re an idiot. What’s the matter, Fu Yanxiong? Didn’t hear me clearly? You absolute idiot.” Li Feng stared at him coldly.
“You…” Fu Yanxiong flew into a rage. “Li Feng, it seems you’re beyond saving. Just wait for the Zheng family to hunt you down.”
“Hunted by the Zheng family? How could that possibly happen? Why would the Zheng family come after me?” Li Feng sneered with contempt.
“Li Feng, do you really think that once I tell the Zheng family your connection to Zheng Xiaoyang’s death, they’ll just let it slide?” Fu Yanxiong said coldly. He believed Li Feng still hadn’t realised who held the upper hand.
“You’ll tell the Zheng family? Fu Yanxiong, do you really think you’ll get the chance?” Li Feng laughed coldly.
“What did you say?” Fu Yanxiong’s expression changed again. He stared at Li Feng with icy menace. “Li Feng, what exactly do you mean?”
At that moment, the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.
“Fu Yanxiong, did you think I had Su Yangjian summon you here just for a friendly chat?” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Li Feng, are you planning to make a move against me?” Fu Yanxiong’s face paled. Only now did he remember that, to keep his dealings with Su Yangjian secret, he had come alone both times. Ding Xiaohan wasn’t with him. If Li Feng wanted to act, he had no one at his side. He couldn’t beat Li Feng himself, and Su Yangjian was waiting outside.
Realising this, fear finally gripped Fu Yanxiong. Earlier, upon hearing about Zheng Xiaoyang’s death, he had been focused solely on using it to threaten Li Feng and had completely forgotten his own vulnerable position.
“Make a move?” Li Feng’s smile turned icy, killing intent gleaming in his eyes.
“Li Feng, if you dare touch me, the moment I walk out of here I’ll tell the Zheng family you killed Zheng Xiaoyang. Just wait for their revenge.” Fu Yanxiong glared at him.
“Tell the Zheng family? Fu Yanxiong, I’ve already said you won’t get that chance.” Li Feng laughed coldly.
“You… you’re going to kill me?” In an instant, Fu Yanxiong’s face drained of colour.
“You want to kill me. Why shouldn’t I kill you?” Li Feng stared at him with terrifying menace, waves of murderous aura rolling off his body.
Fu Yanxiong stumbled back a step, staring at Li Feng in horror.
He was right. He had tried to kill Li Feng multiple times. It was only natural that Li Feng would want him dead in return.
Moreover, this was an obscure bar. If he died here, no one would ever know Li Feng was responsible.
At that moment, only panic and dread remained in Fu Yanxiong’s heart.
Nobody wanted to die, and Fu Yanxiong was no exception. He could kill others, but he would never allow anyone to kill him. Facing the threat of death, terror overwhelmed him.
“Li Feng, you… you can’t kill me. I’m from the Fu family.” Fu Yanxiong stammered, knowing he was no match for Li Feng here. His only hope was that Li Feng might show mercy.
“The Fu family?” Li Feng sneered in disdain. As expected, Fu Yanxiong was just like all those other spoiled brats, resorting to his family name the moment death stared him in the face. Yet when he had sent Su Yangjian to kill Li Feng, had he ever considered that Li Feng was the eldest son of the Li family?
“So what if you’re from the Fu family? Fu Yanxiong, did you think your worthless status would make me spare you? There’s nobody in this world I wouldn’t dare kill.” A cold light flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. “Fu Yanxiong, the moment you plotted against me, you should have known this day would come. You can try to kill me, so naturally I can kill you. Anyone who opposes me meets a bad end. Zheng Haoyuan and Zheng Xiaoyang are your examples.”
Fu Yanxiong’s expression shifted. Without another thought, he turned and bolted for the door.
“Fu Yanxiong, Su Yangjian is a ninth-level Postnatal ancient martial artist. Do you really think you can beat him?” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
Fu Yanxiong froze at the doorway. He was right. He couldn’t even defeat Li Feng. How could he possibly get past Su Yangjian? Su Yangjian called Li Feng “Master”. He would never let Fu Yanxiong leave.
“Li Feng, what will it take for you to let me go?” Fu Yanxiong turned back, his earlier arrogance gone, replaced by nothing but terror. He knew he couldn’t fight or flee. His only option was to beg Li Feng for mercy.
“Let you go?” Li Feng stood up, walked over to Fu Yanxiong, and looked straight into his eyes. “Fu Yanxiong, do you really want me to let you go?”
“Yes.” Fu Yanxiong felt utterly humiliated, yet he had no choice but to lower his head. In his heart, he silently swore that if he made it out alive today, he would make Li Feng suffer a death beyond the grave.
Li Feng grinned widely. “It’s not impossible for me to let you go. However, I also have three conditions.”
