Damn it!
Li Feng’s face changed drastically. He finally understood why Hu Yuanyuan had ignored him and was so angry. It was because of this report.
Damn reporters!
Li Feng’s face darkened, but he was helpless. The story was already in the papers, and even with a thousand explanations, he couldn’t clear his name. Now he truly understood what it meant to be unable to defend himself.
“This reporter showed up too conveniently, didn’t they? Wang Yilong, is this your plan?” Li Feng snorted coldly, feeling like a fool who had been played.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger. He knew anger wouldn’t solve anything. With this newspaper out, the whole of Tianhai City was likely buzzing about it. Silencing everyone was impossible unless he wiped out the entire city, which was absurd.
Since his rebirth, Li Feng had never been manipulated like this. He now realised the people of this era were not to be underestimated. When he dealt with Sun Xipeng, Wang Yilong seemed like a spineless coward, but now it appeared that was just a facade.
“I can’t be so careless in the future,” Li Feng thought as he left the villa, heading to the training base. Today, Tian Lang and his team were arriving in Tianhai City, and his Black Hawk team could be formed, so he had to check on it personally. As for Wang Yilong, that matter would have to wait until the team was established.
“Well, well, isn’t this our esteemed Young Master Feng?”
As Li Feng left the villa and reached the community gate, a mocking voice rang out.
Turning, he saw Sun Xipeng. Thinking of Sun Xipeng’s connection to Wang Yilong, Li Feng’s expression turned cold. “Oh, it’s Young Master Sun. What, got a problem?”
“A problem? No, no, no, how could I have a problem? Young Master Feng, I’m here to congratulate you. You’re quite the celebrity in Tianhai City now,” Sun Xipeng said with a beaming smile. He was thrilled. He knew Hu Yuanyuan was Li Feng’s fiancée, making it hard for him to pursue her with Li Feng around. But now, Li Feng had been caught messing around at Tian Shang Ren Jian, arrested, and splashed across the papers. Everyone in Tianhai City knew, including Hu Yuanyuan. If she grew disgusted with Li Feng, his chance would come.
After being humiliated by Li Feng last time, Sun Xipeng had been plotting revenge but couldn’t find a way due to Li Feng’s formidable skills. Now, Li Feng’s scandal was a golden opportunity.
“Congratulate me?” Li Feng’s expression chilled. Sun Xipeng’s words made him suspect his involvement. “Looks like the last lesson wasn’t enough. Seems you need a reminder.”
Sun Xipeng flinched, stepping back warily. “Li Feng, what do you want? I’m not afraid of you.”
“Not afraid? Good,” Li Feng said coldly, now more convinced Sun Xipeng was linked to this.
“Sun Xipeng, you wait. This isn’t over,” Li Feng said, turning to leave the community. If not for his meeting with Tian Lang, he wouldn’t have let Sun Xipeng off so easily. But there would be plenty of time later.
Sun Xipeng, our score will be settled slowly!
“Think I’m scared of you?” Sun Xipeng snorted. Being humiliated by Li Feng last time was his greatest shame. Since then, he had hired several ex-special forces bodyguards. With them around, he wasn’t worried about Li Feng making a move.
“Shen Changyu, where’s Wang Yilong been lately?” Sun Xipeng suddenly asked Shen Changyu beside him.
“Young Master Sun, that coward Wang Yilong probably doesn’t dare show his face,” Shen Changyu replied eagerly. He, along with Hu Meng, was Sun Xipeng’s lackey. Hu Meng was brave but brainless, no threat. Wang Yilong, however, was sharp and often clashed with Shen Changyu in front of Sun Xipeng. Shen Changyu had long resented him and seized the chance to badmouth him.
“You’re right. Wang Yilong let me down last time. No need to dwell on it,” Sun Xipeng nodded, then said, “Let’s go to Chow Tai Fook to buy some jewellery. Hu Yuanyuan must be fed up with Li Feng now. This is my chance.”
“Young Master Sun is right. Allow me to congratulate you in advance on winning the beauty,” Shen Changyu said with a grin.
“Hahaha, well said. Hu Yuanyuan is mine. What’s Li Feng got to compete with me?” Sun Xipeng laughed loudly.
…
Training base, training ground.
Li Feng looked at Tian Lang and the others before him, nodding with satisfaction. “Not bad. You’re indeed the elite of the mercenary world, but in my eyes, you’re still trash.”
What?
Including Tian Lang, everyone stared at Li Feng, dumbfounded. Had they heard wrong? Li Feng called them trash?
“Young Master Feng…” Tian Lang felt a spark of anger. They were here to work, not to be insulted. He could take it, but his proud brothers couldn’t.
“Was I wrong?” Li Feng looked at the twenty-odd men. “I’m giving you a chance. Beat me to prove you’re not worthless.”
“What?”
“Did we hear that right?”
“He’s looking down on us.”
Murmurs spread. Tian Lang looked at Li Feng, puzzled. To him, Li Feng was just a rich kid. Even an average person could probably beat him easily.
“Hmph, strength isn’t proven by words,” Li Feng snorted, exuding a chilling aura.
This…
These mercenaries, who lived on the edge and had taken lives, were no strangers to killing intent. But they never expected such intense murderous aura from Li Feng, who looked like a pretty boy.
Li Feng had killed, and not just a few.
But didn’t the boss (Tian Lang) say he was a rich family’s heir? How could he have killed? Was he some kind of ruthless villain?
They quickly dismissed the thought. If Li Feng were a villain, their boss wouldn’t have brought them here.
“You, step forward,” Li Feng pointed at a man in his twenties beside Tian Lang.
“Young Master Li.”
“Let’s see what you’ve got,” Li Feng said calmly.
The man glanced at Tian Lang.
“Dark Tiger, go,” Tian Lang nodded.
“Young Master Li, I’m Dark Tiger,” he said, stepping forward. “Please make your move.”
“Good.”
As soon as he spoke, Li Feng vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was in front of Dark Tiger.
“What…”
Before Dark Tiger could react, Li Feng’s fist struck his chest, sending him flying.
Bang!
Dust flew as Dark Tiger crashed to the ground.
How was this possible?
Everyone stared at Li Feng in disbelief. They knew Dark Tiger’s strength well. He wasn’t the strongest among them but was in the top ten. Yet he couldn’t withstand a single move from Li Feng. Even if Dark Tiger underestimated him, he shouldn’t have lost so quickly. The only explanation was that Li Feng was incredibly strong.
Tian Lang gaped at Li Feng. Unlike the others, who only saw Li Feng’s strength, he could see the vast gap between him and Dark Tiger. In that moment, even Tian Lang hadn’t seen how Li Feng appeared before Dark Tiger. The only explanation was that Li Feng was too fast, so fast even he couldn’t follow.
“Young Master Li, again,” Dark Tiger leaped up, his face grave.
“No,” Li Feng shook his head, looking at Tian Lang and the others. “All of you, come at me together.”
