"If you don't fulfill my request within ten seconds, Su Nianxue will be stripped bare."
"But don't worry, there's no one else around me now, only myself to admire, and I've brought my little secretary along."
"I don't mind Su Nianxue laying a few hands on me. After all, she's so beautiful. To die under a peony, even as a ghost, would be glorious."
"Ten seconds are almost up!"
President Niu's face was already contorted into a ferocious, gleeful smile.
The more terrified he had been by Mu Feng earlier, the more exhilarating his revenge felt now.
His eyes were filled with a terrifying ferocity, fixed straight on Su Nianxue, a glint of eagerness in them.
"President Su, if you had brought other security personnel today, perhaps I wouldn't be able to do anything to you. Because they are ordinary people. But you came here far too arrogantly, without even a single protector. You deserve your misfortune."
"This is the opportunity you've given me!"
As he spoke, he had already extended his corpulent hand, preparing to grab Su Nianxue.
Su Nianxue, bound to the chair, her pupils suddenly constricted, her eyes blazing with anger that almost materialized into substance.
At this moment, she didn't scream, nor did she show fear. All that existed was extreme rage.
"If you dare touch me, Mu Feng will chop off your hand."
"You will die without a burial place. I don't mind a dead person touching me, but you need to consider the consequences."
Hearing this, President Niu became even more enraged, his face turning purple.
His gaze was filled with terrifying ferocity.
"You two are quite the pair. Even you, you bitch, dare to speak to me so arrogantly? Do you really think you are Mu Feng?"
"In front of us, he might be able to say such things, after all, his strength is too great, even beyond human."
"But in front of me, you are merely an ordinary person."
"I decide how to torment you. Yet you still dare to put on a show of defiance. If I don't thoroughly handle you today, I'd be letting myself down for taking all this risk."
"But before that, I still have to let you witness the spectacle of Mu Feng self-mutilating. He's definitely in front of the building now, his face visible to the cameras. I'll turn on the surveillance now."
"Let you see how miserable he is!"
He believed that with Mu Feng's feelings for Su Nianxue, he would absolutely not stand by and watch Su Nianxue meet misfortune.
He directly activated the machine on the table, intending to make Mu Feng watch Su Nianxue's downfall with his own eyes.
After turning on the remote, the television screen displayed the picture.
Half of it showed the situation outside. However, when he looked, he only saw the vague figures of security personnel. Mu Feng was nowhere to be seen.
His brow furrowed, and just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"President Niu, be careful! Mu Feng has suddenly disappeared. We don't know where he went."
Hearing this, President Niu's expression faltered slightly.
But he immediately reacted, his face breaking out into an extremely furious expression.
"Are you all useless trash? You can't even keep track of one person?"
"I don't believe they can just vanish under your noses."
"Find Mu Feng for me immediately, or I will act against Su Nianxue publicly, right here on the surveillance footage."
"But I know you can definitely hear me. You have ten seconds to consider."
"If you don't show up, don't blame me for being impolite to your woman."
"I'm not kidding. I'll start counting down. If I don't see you after that, you'd better be prepared!"
The furious words poured out, and he began to count.
At this moment, Mu Feng's calm voice came from behind him.
"Since you want to see me, I've arrived!"
"Surprised?"
The sudden voice made President Niu freeze.
He immediately turned around,
and saw Mu Feng standing before him.
Those icy eyes were like two blades piercing directly into his heart. His heart felt as if it had been sharply stabbed, and his expression became incredibly rigid.
"You... how could you get in?"
"So many guards outside. Did they betray me and let you in?"
"Otherwise, you absolutely couldn't have gotten in. Those people are not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Feng delivered a fierce slap to his face, sending him reeling back against the wall.
"Crack!"
The sound of countless breaking bones echoed.
This was accompanied by President Niu's piercing scream.
A trace of amusement appeared in Mu Feng's eyes as he glanced at the secretary.
The secretary's eyes were cold, and her face showed no fear. A utility knife appeared in her hand.
The sharp blade was directly pressed against Su Nianxue's neck.
The tender, slender neck could not withstand the touch of such a blade.
He could clearly see the killing intent in the secretary's eyes; she was genuinely ready to kill, and without hesitation. An ordinary secretary wouldn't possess such ruthlessness.
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, spiritual energy gathered at his fingertip and shot out.
The utility knife, before it could descend, was flung aside, while the secretary's wrist snapped and twisted.
She cried out in pain and stumbled back a few steps.
"Internal energy projected externally. Are you a Grandmaster?" the secretary asked, her eyes filled with incredulous shock.
Her heart churned like a stormy sea.
"How is this possible?"
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "There's nothing that's impossible. For example, you, the secretary, are also a martial artist."
"Someone of President Niu's status would never have a martial artist as a secretary."
"You are likely the true mastermind, or perhaps you've controlled President Niu from the very beginning."
"It's just that even he himself doesn't know that the蛊 (gu) worm planted in his body was your doing. You look so beautiful, yet you have a heart as venomous as a snake. What a pity."
As he spoke, Mu Feng walked forward, his pace not slowing down at all.
Though it seemed slow, he covered more than ten meters in an instant.
When the secretary attempted to act again, it was already too late. The hand she had extended landed on Mu Feng's body.
A disdainful, mocking smile played on Mu Feng's lips.
"You are too weak!"
