In a presidential suite of a grand hotel in Tianhai City.
Boss Jiang looked at the young man before him in disbelief and asked, “You say Young Master Wu is dead?”
“Yes, boss. I have confirmed it. Young Master Wu died in Tianya Pavilion.” The young man nodded in response.
“Died in Tianya Pavilion? You say Li Feng killed Young Master Wu?” Boss Jiang’s face changed dramatically. Tianya Pavilion was Li Feng’s territory. Apart from being killed by Li Feng, who else could have killed Wu De there? Moreover, Young Master Wu had been plotting against Li Feng recently.
“Yes.” The young man nodded, a flash of horror in his eyes. He had never imagined that Li Feng would be so audacious as to kill Young Master Wu.
“I understand. You may leave.” Boss Jiang’s face paled. For him, Wu De’s death was catastrophic.
The young man nodded and left the room.
Boss Jiang’s hands trembled as he took out his phone. He knew Wu De’s death could not be concealed, and he could only notify the Wu family as quickly as possible. However, he also understood that he bore inescapable responsibility for Wu De’s death. In his view, if he had not encouraged Wu De to target Li Feng, Wu De would not have died today.
But no matter what, he had to make this call. If he did not, he would die without a burial place.
The call connected quickly. As soon as Boss Jiang mentioned Wu De’s death, a frantic roar came from the other end: “What did you say? Wu De is dead? How did he die? Who killed him?”
“It, it was Li Feng.” Boss Jiang hurriedly replied.
“Who is Li Feng?”
“The eldest young master of the Li family in Yanjing.” Boss Jiang answered promptly. As soon as he finished, a busy tone sounded. The other party had hung up.
Boss Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked away from the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at Tianhai City bathed in sunlight, he felt a sense of impending storm.
With this thought, Boss Jiang dialled another number.
Soon, the young man who had left earlier returned to the room.
“Boss, you called for me?” The young man asked, standing not far behind Boss Jiang.
“I now order that all plans against Fengyuan Group be halted immediately.” Boss Jiang said gravely.
“Halted?” The young man was stunned and quickly said, “Boss, stopping now would mean huge losses for us.”
“No matter how great the losses, it must stop. Such a major incident happened last night. Li Feng might be lashing out like a mad dog. If we continue targeting Fengyuan Group at this time, we might not even get the chance to leave Tianhai City.” Boss Jiang stated.
“Boss, rest assured. I will arrange it right away.” The young man nodded.
“This must be done as quickly as possible. With Young Master Wu dead, the entire Tianhai City will be in turmoil. The only thing we can do now is protect ourselves.” Boss Jiang said solemnly. Once Wu De was dead, the Wu family would never let it rest. There would surely be a fierce battle between them and Li Feng. As a minor figure caught in the middle, he would undoubtedly die. So his only thought now was to leave Tianhai City as soon as possible.
“By the way, later you should call Young Master Jiang and tell him that Young Master Wu is dead, killed by Li Feng.” Boss Jiang suddenly remembered something and said to the young man behind him.
“Young Master Jiang?” The young man was taken aback.
“Yes, exactly Young Master Jiang. You must handle this matter promptly.” Boss Jiang said gravely.
“I will do it immediately.” The young man left the room after speaking.
A glint flashed in Boss Jiang’s eyes: “Young Master Wu, this is all I can do for you. I hope you rest in peace.”
On the road to the resort hotel, Li Feng drove while pondering the reason for Situ Qiang’s invitation today.
From eavesdropping on Situ Qiang and Situ Lei’s conversation last night, Li Feng knew the Situ family wanted to cooperate with him. However, Situ Qiang felt that Li Feng was not qualified to cooperate with the Situ family, so he had not met him immediately upon arriving in Tianhai City.
But now, only a few hours later, Situ Qiang had extended an invitation. The reason was certainly that last night’s events had changed Situ Qiang’s mind. Although Li Feng somewhat despised Situ Qiang’s behaviour, he currently needed Situ Qiang’s help.
After all, regarding the Blood Shadow, probably only people from the Hongmen knew about it. As one of the five great families in Hongmen, the Situ family had always been in sharp opposition to the Chen family. They surely knew something about the Blood Shadow by Chen Junyi’s side.
Even if Situ Qiang did not know Blood Shadow’s whereabouts, just telling him about Blood Shadow’s personality and characteristics would be enough for him.
More importantly, he wanted to know the relationship between Song Zhiyuan and Situ Qiang, and even more, what Song Zhiyuan and Situ Qiang had discussed last night.
“Ding.”
Just as Li Feng was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang. He put on his earpiece and answered: “This is Li Feng. Who is it?”
There was silence on the line.
“Who is it? If you don’t speak, I’ll hang up.”
“Li Feng.” At that moment, a very sinister voice came through.
“Who are you?” Li Feng frowned.
“Li Feng.” The sinister voice sounded again, now with added chilling coldness.
“Speak quickly if you have something to say. Don’t waste time. Don’t play mysterious with this young master.” Li Feng said coldly. He glanced at his phone and saw it was a call with no area code or any display.
“Li Feng, you’re very good. Remember this: sooner or later, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces.” The cold voice rang out.
“Tear me into ten thousand pieces? With just you?” Li Feng sneered. A threatening call like this, did it think it could intimidate him?
“Li Feng, I hope you live well. I will make you suffer endless torment, wishing for death.” The voice on the phone was eerie and terrifying, sending chills down one’s spine.
Li Feng merely smiled faintly: “Wishing for death? Many people want me to suffer that fate. If you have the ability, come at me. Do you think this young master would fear you?”
As he spoke, Li Feng tapped a few times on his phone.
“I will come.” With that, the call was hung up.
Li Feng sneered and looked at his phone screen. His phone had been modified by him and had many functions, one of which was call tracing.
“Yanjing?”
Seeing the location displayed on the screen, Li Feng’s pupils contracted.
He had never expected this call to come from Yanjing. He did not have many enemies in Yanjing, only Li Wu. Could this person be connected to Li Wu?
If it really was related to Li Wu, would they need to make a mere threatening call? If it was not related to Li Wu, then who made this call? After all, a call from Yanjing did not necessarily mean the caller was in Yanjing.
The caller must be someone who hated him intensely. Thinking carefully, since arriving in this world, he had offended quite a few people. For a moment, Li Feng truly could not figure out who this caller was.
After thinking for a while, Li Feng could not come up with anything and decided to stop dwelling on it. However, a threatening call like this could not be completely ignored. He did not need to fear it himself, but the people around him were different. After all, last night’s events were still fresh in his mind. An enemy hiding in the shadows posed an absolute threat to him.
“It seems I lack experts around me.” Li Feng pondered silently.
The Black Eagle team and Eagle Eye sharpshooters could only be considered basic forces. Among those by his side, true experts were few. Even Zhong Shuhui could not be counted as one. Mu Jiajia had mastery of firearms, counting as half an expert. The only ones truly capable were the Blood Kill Twin Eagles, but if separated, their combat strength greatly diminished. Moreover, with just the two of them, they could not protect so many people.
“Should I expose Su Yangjian?” Li Feng frowned. He did not want to reveal the card of Su Yangjian so soon. Even with such a major incident last night, he had not notified Su Yangjian.
“It seems I must recruit some experts.”
Recruiting experts was not easy, but not impossible. Li Feng thought of the Ancient Martial Arts Association. He could simply post a mission there to recruit a group of experts. However, these experts would not be his subordinates. The key was how to control them. Otherwise, if they turned greedy or betrayed him for other reasons, the consequences would be disastrous.
The best method was to use the Divine Control Technique. Once he controlled someone with it, there would be no fear of betrayal. However, currently, he had only one slot left for the Divine Control Technique, meaning he could control only one expert. That was far from enough.
Unless his divine sense broke through to the innate realm, only then could he control more people.
“It seems I should find time to visit the Ancient Martial Arts Association and see if there is anything to help my divine sense break through.” Li Feng resolved silently. As long as his divine sense reached the innate realm, he would be able to control early-stage innate experts. Then, no matter how strong his enemies were, he would have the confidence to deal with them.
In addition, the strength of the Blood Kill Twin Eagles and Su Yangjian must be improved. Even if it required piling on resources, before the Fist King Championship, the Blood Kill Twin Eagles must reach the ninth level of the acquired realm. Otherwise, Li Feng felt they would not be able to help him in the competition.
As for Su Yangjian, he was currently at the ninth level of the acquired realm. If he could advance to the innate realm, Li Feng would feel safe letting him carry out a matter he had prepared for a long time.
While Li Feng was lost in thought, the car soon arrived at the entrance of the resort hotel. Li Feng parked and walked towards the resort hotel.
Situ Qiang was staying at the Empire Hotel, yet he invited him to the resort hotel. Clearly, he did not want Li Feng to know where they were staying. To this, Li Feng could only pretend ignorance.
Led by a waiter, Li Feng arrived at the private room where Situ Qiang was.
“Haha, Young Master Feng, you’ve finally arrived.” As soon as Li Feng appeared, Situ Qiang came forward with a smile.
“You are Situ Qiang?” Seeing Situ Qiang, Li Feng could not help but be surprised. He had thought Situ Qiang was about his age, but the young man before him was at most seventeen or eighteen.
“Yes, Young Master Feng, I am Situ Qiang.” Situ Qiang skilfully pulled Li Feng into the room and smiled as he said, “Young Master Feng, let me introduce someone to you.”
