243 – A Bet

Chen Daojue bowed and apologized to Shu Feng: “Sir Shu Feng, my scoundrel of a son has offended you. I want to apologize to you in his stead and compensate you with 500 million credits in cash.”

Shu Feng took a liquor glass, shook it gently, and said coldly: “Your son wanted to take 70% of shares of my Phantasia Liquor inc. without paying a penny. I won’t make things difficult for you! If you break his legs and then hand over 70% of the Chen Family’s assets, I’ll sweep this incident under the rug”

Chen Daojue straightened himself up and responded in a deep voice, a gleam in his eyes, “Sir Shu Feng, this is too much! The Chen Family can’t agree to such conditions!”

As a spirit ability user rich family, the Chen Family is full of experts. Yinglin Group is just one of the assets of the Chen Family. 70% of the Chen Family’s assets is worth more than 100 billion credits. If it accepts Shu Feng’s demands, the Chen family will begin to decline slowly.

Shu Feng said coldly: “The Chen Family is just a petty rich family, yet it dared to make a move against an aristocratic family. Aren’t you afraid I will take your family down via the Aristocratic Family Defense Law?”

Aristocratic families and magnus families are pillars supporting the Qianyuan Republic, and every one of them has made numerous contributions and killed countless Hollow Demons. They made countless sacrifices to protect the Qianyuan Republic and rendered many achievements.

The Aristocratic Family Defense Law is one of the privileges of aristocratic families. If someone tries to seize their property through improper means, an aristocratic family can fight back. It can seize the assets of the other party and even kill the other party.

As a rich family, the Chen Family has great influence in the Qianyuan Republic. Shu Feng originally had no intention of seizing its property for no reason. However, since the Chen Family used improper means and tried to seize Shu Feng’s property, he can use the Aristocratic Family Defense Law to fight back.

Due to the many privileges, countless powerhouses wish to become a member of an aristocratic family.

Chen Daojue stated slowly, “Sir Shu Feng, there is a Spirit Grandmaster realm ancestor in the Chen Family!”

Shu Feng uttered flatly: “Tell you what, I’ll give you a chance. Have the Chen Family’s Spirit Grandmaster realm ancestor fight me! If the Chen Family’s ancestor wins, I’ll write this matter off. But if he loses, the Chen Family will hand over 20% of its assets and become my vassal.”

“Fine! Thank you, sir Shu Feng!”

Chen Daojue gritted his teeth and agreed to the unfair bet.

Shu Feng said, “Break his legs and take him away!”

Chen Daojue gritted his teeth, took a stick that was placed aside, hit Chen Keyi’s legs, and then left the private room with the howling Chen Keyi in his arms.

After Chen Daojue and Chen Keyi left, Hong Nan tactfully left the private room, leaving Shu Feng and Ma Jin alone.

Ma Jin asked curiously: “Aristocratic family! Feng, you have become the patriarch of an aristocratic family! That’s amazing. By the way, have you already become a Spirit Grandmaster realm powerhouse?”

Shu Feng answered with a light smile, “To be exact, I’m a powerhouse with Spirit Grandmaster realm combat power.”

Ma Jin asked, “Tell me, what happened to you in the past two years?”

“Alright!”

Shu Feng told Ma Jin about what happened to him in the past two years.

“Ma Jin, it’s me, Zhou Yang! You Meng is in danger. Go to the entrance of the Big Stone Supermarket outside Guhua Village.”

All of a sudden, Ma Jin’s cell phone rang, and Zhou Yang’s tired voice was transmitted.

Ma Jin’s eyes congealed, and he replied in a grave tone, “I’m going right now!”

After Ma Jin ended the call, he looked at Shu Feng and asked with expectation in his eyes: “Feng, You Meng have come across strong enemies. Will you help us?”

Shu Feng’s status at this time is different from what it used to be in the past. He is now the patriarch of an aristocratic family, a noble of the Qianyuan Republic’s world of spirit ability users.

Ma Jin has abundant experience and has seen many people who became completely different people once they got authority. He doesn’t know if Shu Feng is willing to take risks for his friends.

Shu Feng responded with a smile: “No problem! Big brother Ma Jin, you just have to say — Feng, come with me! What you said just now was excessive! After all, we are good brothers!”

Ma Jin laughed carefreely and said happily: “Ha-ha. You’re right, it was too much. Ha-ha. I never expected that I would be a good brother of the patriarch of an aristocratic family one day!”

Ma Jin is of a poor family background and has been working hard in the world of spirit ability users until now. He is very clear about the weight that the title of patriarch of an aristocratic family carries. The patriarch of an aristocratic family is equivalent to the king of a small kingdom, who controls the fate of countless people.

In front of rich families, Spirit Warrior realm powerhouses like Ma Jin are just ants. The same is even more true for the patriarchs of aristocratic families. To be good brothers with Shu Feng, Ma Jin naturally felt excited.

“Who are the enemies?”

After leaving the Youyun Club, Shu Feng asked Ma Jin curiously.

“It’s Psionic Hollow Demons! On the outskirts of Leijiang City, there is a village called Majia Village. Many strange things are happening there. Several investigators have died here.”

“We originally thought it was just some ordinary Psionic Hollow Demons! Unexpectedly, even You Meng walked into a trap.” Ma Jin explained with an overcast expression.

Ma Jin, You Meng, Zhou Yang, and Gao Wen make up a team. They have fought side by side for several years and have forged a deep friendship. He naturally doesn’t want to see You Meng die.

“Shu Feng, be careful! I feel like Hollow Demons are becoming more and more active in recent years. Our Leijiang City branch previously only dealt with several Black Dog Hollows or low-level Psionic Hollow Demons per month. In some special cases, one or two Spirit Warrior realm Psionic Hollow Demons would appear.”

“But in the last month, several Spirit Master realm Hollow Demons have appeared. Hollow Demons are getting more and more active.” Ma Jin uttered with a worried expression.

“Hollow Demons are getting more and more active? What’s going on?”

Doubts welled up in Shu Feng’s heart. But due to the lack of information, he couldn’t analyze the situation and could only give up.

There is a strange mist outside Majia Village. Although it is currently daytime. But due to the dense fog, Majia Village is shrouded in darkness.

In Majia Village, which is shrouded in darkness, there are headless corpses, transparent human figures floating in the air, ghostly flames, and expressionless corpses dressed in burial clothes. The whole village emits a creepy and eerie feeling.

Majia Village, in a house, You Meng and a 1.6-meter-tall, cute oval-faced girl huddled together.

A black picture scroll is suspended above You Meng and the oval-faced girl, radiating dark light that covers the both of them.
