Mu Feng's face still held a faint smile. "I'll give you a chance to speak now. I hope you don't disappoint me."
He released his hand.
Zhang Tian slumped to the ground, gasping for breath, his face already turning a shade of blue.
Red bloodshot veins began to spread in his eyes. He knew he likely had only one path left.
If Mu Feng wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't even have the strength to resist.
But if he sold out the person behind this, that person would definitely not let him go either.
He felt hesitation and struggle within him, but when his gaze met Mu Feng's.
The moment their eyes connected, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him, instantly extinguishing any other thoughts he might have had.
His voice was also filled with trembling. "I can tell you who is behind this, but you have to guarantee that you won't kill me, and that you will protect my safety."
"I am nothing in front of those people. If they want to kill me, it's easier than slaughtering a chicken."
"I don't want to die, and I don't want to die a painful death."
As he said this, he directly knelt before Mu Feng, his eyes pleading with sincerity. "Please, give me a chance."
"I truly have no enmity with you. I was merely following orders."
"And those people are too terrifying. If I don't do as they say, I will be tortured to death by them."
"Moreover, that guy's strength is definitely even greater than yours. He could crush me with one hand, and I would have no power to resist. Even standing in front of him, I feel as if my heart is being clutched by an invisible palm. That terrifying aura is far beyond what ordinary experts can match."
As he said this, Zhang Tian couldn't help but tremble.
Especially when he thought of the person in his mind, he felt as if he were seeing death itself, so terrifying.
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, a thoughtful expression appearing in them.
"Since there is someone else behind this, you must at least tell me who that person is. If you are telling the truth, I can spare your life."
"But the prerequisite is that you must let me see that person. Only when I have killed him will he lose his threat to you."
"As long as he is alive, he will be an unstable threat to your life."
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in Zhang Tian's eyes.
His gaze also held a hint of hesitation and cunning.
"I can take you to see him now. If you can kill him when you see him, then I will be completely free from the threat to my life from now on."
"But if something happens to you, you can't blame me, because you were the one who insisted on seeing him."
A smile appeared on Mu Feng's face. How could he not see what Zhang Tian was thinking? This fellow wanted to shift the blame.
However, he didn't expose him.
He was indeed very curious to know who the person behind this was.
Whether it was that mysterious fellow he suspected.
If he could find that person, he could uncover the reason behind the destruction of his family all those years ago.
"Alright, then I'll give you this chance. You can contact him immediately and bring me to see him now."
"If anything happens to me, you will have made a great contribution, and it will have no negative impact on his side."
"But if I kill the other party, you will be completely free. It will be all benefit and no harm for you."
Even Scorpion Brother, standing beside them, looked at Mu Feng with a strange expression.
He whispered a reminder, "Big brother, since he dares to let you see that person, he must have already set up a trap. He himself said earlier that he already had a plan targeting you. If you go to see that person now, you might just be stepping into a trap."
"Something this dangerous, if you go personally, it will surely cause a lot of trouble."
Mu Feng turned his head with a half-smile. "Then what do you suggest?"
Scorpion Brother was instantly speechless. He really wanted to suggest letting Zhang Tian go first to test the waters, but the guest had already made up his mind and turned to leave.
Mu Feng said lightly, "Don't play your little games with me. You can leave now before I get angry, otherwise, your life will be forfeit."
Those cold words carried no emotional fluctuation.
Scorpion Brother couldn't help but shudder, feeling as if a chill had shot up from his heels to the crown of his head.
He didn't even care about the pain he was in and scrambled to get out.
Zhang Tian glanced over, his eyes filled with resentment. If it weren't for this bastard being greedy for life and cowardly, and leading Mu Feng here, he wouldn't be in such a predicament.
It was as if he had been put on the spot. Fortunately, Mu Feng was not smart enough, and he actually wanted to go with him to see that lord.
He naturally couldn't show these emotions on his face.
He took out his phone and started making a call. The number on the other end was quickly connected.
A deep male voice came from the phone.
"How is the matter I entrusted you with? Have you tested Mu Feng's bottom line?"
"Have you captured the people around him?"
Hearing this, a cold gleam flashed in Mu Feng's eyes, killing intent swirling within them.
The surrounding air seemed to instantly become extremely cold.
Zhang Tian couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He knew that when one's strength reached a certain level, their emotions could influence the power of heaven and earth.
And he dared not delay any longer, so he immediately replied, "I have already captured the person Mu Feng cares about the most. The one he cares about most is Su Nianxue."
"For this woman, he would give up everything, even his own life, without hesitation."
"So I was thinking, do you want to meet him yourself? This way, you can personally torture him to death."
"I believe your hatred for him would definitely choose..."
Before he could finish, a cold laugh came from the phone. "Zhang Tian, knowing you as I do, you would never do such a thing, nor would you personally go to see Mu Feng."
"You are just a cowardly, despicable scoundrel."
"I told you, Mu Feng's strength is extraordinary. With your nature, you would only hide in the shadows and play tricks."
"I sent you out merely to be a blade. If it can target Mu Feng, it will be Mu Feng's loss. If it cannot, it will only become Mu Feng's punching bag."
The voice on the other end paused slightly, and finally, a triumphant laugh followed.
"I know Mu Feng is definitely around you. It was I who dealt with his family back then, but what can he do about it?"
"Ask him if he remembers who threw sulfuric acid on his face back then?"
