Chapter 48 This Should Be Fun
Chu Feng strode out with a straight back and wide steps, his tiger-like eyes looking down upon his surroundings like a king descending from his throne. If Li Ziyang had left thirty seconds late, even a casual glance at this scene would have scared him half to death, and made him come downstairs to kowtow and beg for mercy. He wouldn’t have dared disrespect Chu Feng or have a single thought about harming Yun Muqing.
Sadly, major events in life often hinge on these short thirty seconds. As a result, Li Ziyang had no idea that this car that so unnerved him was carrying the same Chu Feng he was planning to humiliate. This was his misfortune, but also the price he was going to pay for his sins.
“Luo Gang, are your men in position?” Chu Feng asked simply.
“All three thousand elite fighters, as you instructed.” Luo Gang’s gaze was respectful yet enthusiastic. “All of them await the Dragon Head’s command!”
“Very good.” Chu Feng nodded, then strode forward with a smile; this should be fun.
“Hu, have you run a background check on that guy, Chu Feng?” Li Ziyang asked, making himself some Kung Fu tea to steady his nerves. His methods were cruel, but his strategies were also well-planned. Before making a move on anyone, he’d always run a background check first to avoid offending any big shots and screw himself over, for he knew well that there were people far more powerful than him out there. What he didn’t realise was that the true identity of the Dragon Soul’s God of War, the legendary general of Xi Ye, was not something that people like him could easily discover.
“I did. Chu Feng, 27 years old, orphan. His adoptive father is a veteran living in Plum Blossom village. He left home to join the army ten years ago and just got discharged this year, but there’s no mention of his rank, duties or military achievements…” Hei Hu read out the report, then sneered; no matter how he looked at it, this Chu Feng was a powerless, penniless and incompetent nobody. A loser like him fighting with Young Master Li over a woman? He must have a death wish. “Young Master Li, such an insignificant person could have been taken care of with just a few of your men, if you’d just said the word.” Hei Hu subtly flattered Li Ziyang. “Why take care of this personally?”
Li Ziyang merely smiled with a twinkle in his eye, “You don’t understand, Hu. In matters of love, merely killing someone is not enough. You must also break their hearts. I’ve heard that Yun Muqing is extremely close to this new boyfriend of hers, and their feelings appear to be mutual. I wonder how she’d react if she saw her beloved man kneeling before me, shaking as he begs for mercy like a dog?” Li Ziyang drummed his fingers on the table, his lips curling with a snakelike deviousness. “I can’t wait to see.”
Hei Hu smirked and commented, “How wise of you, Young Master Li!”
Just then, Li Ziyang received a message. After a casual glance, he said, “He’s here. Let Yun Tao lead the way.”
After Chu Feng got out of the car, he walked straight into the Elegant Pavilion Tea House. In the ground floor lobby, Yun Tao was already getting impatient and started grumbling as he rose from the couch. Even while leading the way, Yun Tao continued to mock Chu Feng, “Young Master Li is at the third floor lounge, called the Bright Moon Pavilion. It’s the most luxurious, high-budget lounge in all of Jiangling and just a pot of tea there would cost you hundreds of thousands! You think Young Master Li’s tea is for animals like you? You’d need eight lifetimes’ worth of good karma just to taste it!”
Chu Feng walked calmly, then casually shot back, “You’re right. A dog must do what a dog must do. Protect the house, lead the way and suchlike.”
Yun Tao’s expression changed. “What do you mean by that? Are you calling me a dog?”
“Am I wrong?” Chu Feng looked up at him pitifully and said. “Men like you are destined to be subservient to others, fit to be nothing more than someone’s loyal dog.” With that, he didn’t even stop to notice Yun Tao’s furious expression and merely proceeded into the room.
Behind him, Yun Tao was fuming to the point of gritting his teeth, his eyes practically seeing red. “You insufferable fool. We’ll see if you can keep being arrogant later on?”
