Li Feng looked at Xiao Mingyue’s aggressive eyes and chuckled lightly.
"When I’m not here, you can make the rules in Sea City."
Li Feng narrowed his eyes, "But now that I’m here, I’m the one who calls the shots in Sea City."
"You’re so arrogant!"
Xiao Mingyue stared at Li Feng as he stood, stepped forward, and leaned down to look at the kneeling Xiao Mingyue, placing his hand on her chin and studying her delicate features.
"You’re not willing to accept this, are you."
"Let go."
Xiao Mingyue’s voice was cold. No man had ever dared to be so presumptuous with her, even if his status was extraordinary. However, Xiao Mingyue didn’t believe anyone had the right to lay hands on her, or, to put it another way, no man in the world could order her around.
"Has anyone ever told you, you’re very beautiful?"
Li Feng completely ignored Xiao Mingyue’s statent, but her gaze turned icy, "Don’t make say it a second ti."
"You couldn’t handle it."
Li Feng had long since had Wang Qian inquire about Xiao Mingyue. The Xiao Family was also one of the Eight Families and was considered a first-rate noble clan. However, Xiao Mingyue’s status today didn’t rely on her family.
What Xiao Mingyue had married into was the Jingn Xu Family. There is also an Xu Family among the ten great clans of Jin City, but the Xu of Jin City is just a branch of the Jingn Xu Family. This Jingn Xu keeps a low profile on the outside, but those in the know regard them with awe.
Are the Eight Families impressive? In front of the Jingn Xu Family, they are but younger siblings.
The ten great conglorates of Sea City are rich enough to rival nations, with assets in the hundreds of billions, but they can only call the Jingn Xu Family "Dad".
The big five and grand seven of today’s world are actually noble families and clans that have broken the chain of succession, while the Jingn Xu Family is truly a millennium-old esteed lineage, handed down to the present day—a genuine recluse of noble status.
No one knows how extensive the Xu Family’s connections are, how much wealth they hold. The foundation of a clan with a thousand years of heritage is simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
And Xiao Mingyue is the wife of the legitimate heir of the Jingn Xu Family.
Just on this fact alone, no one dares to provoke Xiao Mingyue. To provoke her is to provoke the Jingn Xu Family backing her.
But Li Feng, with nothing to lose, truly fears nothing in this world—there was nothing he dared not touch.
Arrogant?
Xiao Mingyue was right; Li Feng had arrogance in his bones.
"I couldn’t handle it?"
Li Feng let out a laugh, "Shall we try?"
Hmm?
Before Xiao Mingyue could co to her senses, Li Feng had already leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. There’s a saying that goes, a woman is to be conquered.
And Xiao Mingyue’s haughty deanour made it particularly tempting to pin her down and make her sing of conquest.
Inside the Water Moon Pavilion, the air seed to freeze at that instant, with only the fish in the lake below constantly swimming.
After a while.
Li Feng parted Xiao Mingyue’s lips, his wicked smile turning towards her, "The taste is quite nice."
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Mingyue’s eyes.
"You’re courting death."
Li Feng straightened up, squinting his eyes at Xiao Mingyue, "It seems, our conversation today ends here."
"Then I’ll be leaving first."
"No need to see out."
Li Feng suddenly turned around and waved his hand. Xiao Mingyue hadn’t expected him to actually walk away as soon as he said he would; she got so angry she stood up and looked at Li Feng’s back.
"You stop right there!"
Li Feng didn’t stop at all. Xiao Mingyue’s intention was clear, for him to give up Century Group, but how could he possibly spit out what he’d already eaten? Moreover, he had already sold off most of Century Group.
However, one thing was confird; Xiao Mingyue had so sort of connection to the Longevity Tao Sect. It wasn’t clear if she was the fad disciple of Heavenly Master Lin that the rumors spoke of, or if the Longevity Tao Sect was just a dog released by the Xu Family.
If Xiao Mingyue weren’t still young, just a woman in her thirties, Li Feng would even suspect that the Longevity Tao Sect had been created by her. But now it appeared not to be the case.
Li Feng left swiftly, leaving Xiao Mingyue seething with anger.
No man had ever dared to be so presumptuous with her, let alone dare to kiss her lips.
"Huacheng Crown Prince."
Xiao Mingyue’s eyes blazed with fire, indicating that this confrontation was no longer just a struggle for interests. Li Feng had clearly co to Sea City to encroach on her territory. If reconciliation was impossible, then there could only be one outco: a fight to the death.
Li Feng exited the Water Moon Pavilion, walking through the corridor to the downstairs lobby.
"Boss Feng, we might have trouble."
Wang Qian hurried forward as he saw Li Feng and spoke, "What’s the situation?"
"Boss, after you went upstairs, the friends of those guys who were thrown out appeared, including Lin Wanzhou and Chen Muyang."
Wang Qian recognized Chen Muyang from a previous board eting. It was a narrow path for enemies.
"They’ve made a threat, saying that as soon as you, Boss Feng, walk out of the Bright Moon Building, they will make sure you leave lying down."
"And in just a little while, a lot of people have shown up outside and have surrounded Bright Moon Building so tightly that water couldn’t leak through. I’ve already called for backup urgently, but they might not be able to arrive anyti soon."
Li Feng grunted in response and looked towards the outside of Bright Moon Building, and indeed, as Wang Qian had said, there was a huge crowd, and it seed that more cars kept arriving, with people getting out of them.
"It’s Li Feng."
Soone with sharp eyes spotted Li Feng imdiately.
"Li, you’ve got the guts to co out?"
"Co out, I promise I won’t beat you to death, I’ll leave you with half a life left, so show so guts and step outside."
"Brown-noser Li Feng, if you have any balls, co out!"
"Boss Feng, they have too many people."
Li Feng snorted coldly and stepped out of the Bright Moon Building.
"He’s out."
"Everyone quiet down." Chen Muyang turned and shouted loudly back at the crowd, which gradually went silent.
Lin Wanzhou stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, eyes contemptuously looking at Li Feng and spoke with an air of superiority.
"Li Feng, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over Century Group, then crawl between my legs, and today you can leave crawling."
"Otherwise, don’t bla for being ruthless and stripping you of even the privilege to crawl."
"F*ck, Lin Wanzhou, what the hell do you think you are?"
"Fatso, this isn’t your place to speak."
Lin Wanzhou glanced disdainfully at Wang Qian, who cursed in response. To dare to call him fatso... if it weren’t for the numbers you have behind you, I, Wang, would take your life today.
"Wuss, keep yelling. You’re nothing but Li Feng’s lapdog, and you’re no good dog either."
"Hey, actually, I do have a dog that looks a lot like you. Why don’t you two et and recognize each other!"
"Bark, bark, bark."
"Ha ha, look, fatso, my dog could be your twin brother from the sa womb."
Wang Qian took a deep breath and held back.
"Boss Feng, just wait a bit longer until our guys arrive. If we don’t wipe out this bunch, I’ll write the Wang character upside down."
"There’s no need for that."
Li Feng started walking down the steps, and the jeering crowd, seeing Li Feng really had the guts to co out, watched him with a mix of cool interest and disdain.
Lin Wanzhou squinted at Li Feng, as if holding the winning card.
"Made your choice?"
"Tell your decision then."
