Chapter 1 A Strange Occurrence

In the antique-style private room, the appearance of Shi Feng and his companions caused both Fang Xiaotian and Fang Mingyu, who were dining inside, to reveal surprised expressions.

"Who allowed them to come in?" Fang Xiaotian stared at the door, his voice icy as he questioned.

Fang Xiaotian was furious. He had clearly ordered Shi Feng and the others to scram, yet they had walked in. Moreover, there wasn't a single sound of commotion outside, which meant the bodyguard outside had let Shi Feng and his companions in.

However, a full three seconds passed after Fang Xiaotian's question, and there was no response from outside the door.

No one responded, as if there was no one there at all, which made Fang Xiaotian feel strange.

Could they all have betrayed him?

But on closer thought, that didn't seem right. These bodyguards were trained by the family at great expense and were completely obedient. Even if one had betrayed him, it was impossible for all four to have done so simultaneously.

"Young Master Fang, you don't need to ask. They're all asleep at the door," Shi Feng said proactively, looking at Fang Xiaotian, whose expression was changing.

"How is that possible!" Fang Xiaotian instinctively didn't believe it.

He knew these four bodyguards' skills very well. Although they were all beginners in the An Jin (internal force) stage, the four of them working together could overwhelm even the national competition champion. How could they have been taken care of without any noise?

Lei Bao behind Shi Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

Four experts who had just entered the An Jin stage were indeed powerful, but compared to a true Hua Jin (transformation force) master, they were as fragile as infants. If a Hua Jin master wanted to enter a place, relying on extraordinary perception, reaction, and physical ability, they couldn't be stopped at all. How could a few mere bodyguards block them?

Subsequently, one of the bodyguards behind Fang Xiaotian went to the door to check and saw that the four bodyguards were lying unconscious in the corner.

"Young Master, A Tao… they really are unconscious," the bodyguard who checked said, stuttering slightly.

The entire room fell silent instantly, and Fang Xiaotian couldn't help but carefully scrutinize Shi Feng and his companions in front of him. Being able to take care of his four bodyguards without making a sound was enough to make him take them seriously.

"No wonder you were confident enough to come see me." Fang Xiaotian looked at Shi Feng, not showing any panic because the bodyguards had been dealt with. Instead, he said calmly, "But do you think you can demonstrate your power to change my mind? Don't dream."

"Shi Feng, I know you. You're the owner of the Tiandou Training Hall, and you defeated Wang Zongquan before, shocking the martial arts halls and training centers of Fenglin City. You're also one of the core executives of the Zero Wing Guild. Zero Wing Guild is developing very well now and has become a quasi-superpower in God's Domain, dominating the Eastern Continent. You even want to absorb a large number of talents through the Tiandou Training Hall to further strengthen Zero Wing Guild."

"But you have to understand that God's Domain is God's Domain, and this is reality. Without background and support, you are nothing! To deal with you, I don't even need a finger. I can just say a word and make it impossible for you to survive in Fenglin City!"

Fang Xiaotian's words made Xiao Yu feel a surge of pressure.

Economic suppression wasn't scary, but the small moves from other aspects were. Unfortunately, they had no way to stop it.

At this moment, Fang Mingyu suddenly stood up, like a brown bear appearing in the private room. He was as tall as two meters and three, making everyone present look like children. His arms and legs were even thicker than a woman's waist, and his bronze skin was like the legendary Vajra Arhat (invincible Buddha warrior).

"Invulnerable Body! There are actually people who have cultivated Horizontal Training to the point of Invulnerable Body?" Lei Bao was stunned for a moment as he looked at Fang Mingyu walking over.

Horizontal Training was a very difficult and painful training method, a hellish training specifically for the physical body. It was several times more difficult and arduous than ordinary martial arts training, and even Dark Energy experts like them found it difficult to persevere. But once it was completed, the strength was terrifying.

Simply mastering the initial stage of Horizontal Training could allow one to compete with ordinary An Jin experts. If one could achieve great success, one would not only have thousands of pounds of strength, but also a resistance to blows that even An Jin experts found difficult to penetrate. Even peak An Jin experts didn't want to fight someone like that.

Fang Mingyu had achieved Horizontal Training perfection, with an invulnerable body all over. Dealing with experts like Wang Zongquan was a matter of one punch each, while Wang Zongquan had no way to deal with Fang Mingyu.

"You were able to take out my brother's four bodyguards in one go, your strength is very good. I'll give you a chance to join our Fang family, sell us all the shares of Zero Wing you hold, and when Zero Wing becomes our Fang family's property, you'll get plenty of benefits. The status and power you have will definitely be higher than when you were in Zero Wing," Fang Mingyu said, his tone completely unquestionable.

Xiao Yu, standing behind Shi Feng, felt like he was about to kneel.

Fang Mingyu's aura was too terrifying. Even though he had gone through many battles in the business world and cultivated a lot of prestige, and usually didn't skimp on exercise, in front of Fang Mingyu, he was like fireflies compared to the bright moon. Moreover, he felt something different from martial arts fighters on Fang Mingyu's body, which was bloodthirst. The feeling of him walking over was like a mountain of corpses crashing down on him.

"What if I don't?" Shi Feng asked calmly, without any panic.

"Then I'll have to take you back to our Fang family. I believe that once you get there, you'll change your mind," Fang Mingyu said with a smile.

"You said if I join your Fang family, I can get more power and status than in Zero Wing?" Shi Feng asked again.

"That's right, you have the qualifications," Fang Mingyu nodded.

"But my position in Zero Wing is not low. Not only does the vice president of the guild have to listen to my orders, but any major action of the guild has to be approved by me, and the guild's financing and development direction must also be approved by me," Shi Feng said after thinking for a moment.

As Shi Feng finished speaking, the whole audience couldn't help but fall silent.

"Are you playing with me?" Fang Mingyu's face sank slightly.

If Zero Wing were taken over by their Fang family, not to mention him, even Fang Xiaotian probably wouldn't have such power.

"No, I'm telling the truth," Shi Feng said very sincerely.

"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. In that case, come back with me!" Fang Mingyu said, reaching out to grab Shi Feng's shoulder, preparing to lock him down.

Fang Mingyu's grasp seemed simple, but how could the skills of a master who cultivated Horizontal Training to the point of invulnerability be simple? One grasp contained thirteen changes, like a net, so even a nimble monkey couldn't escape.

Seeing that Fang Mingyu's big hand had already grasped Shi Feng's shoulder and was about to lock down Shi Feng's entire body.

Shi Feng suddenly shook his shoulder. With this shake, Shi Feng's shoulder seemed to move and not move. Fang Mingyu's big hand was directly pulled back as if it had been electrocuted. From the side, it looked as if Fang Mingyu's big hand had been bounced off by an invisible barrier.

And Fang Mingyu also lost his balance and couldn't help but take half a step back…
