Huofeng’s gaze was laced with a mocking sneer. “Now you are merely a turtle in a jar.”
“There’s no point in thinking about escape. I’m quite curious about the strength behind you, after you’ve been hiding for so long. According to our investigation, all the money you’ve earned eventually went to a single account.”
“But that account shows no trace of anyone.”
“And based on your past actions, you were merely a pawn, a blade in someone else’s hand. Who is behind you?”
Upon hearing this, the man in black displayed a brilliant smile.
He looked at Huofeng, his eyes gradually filling with a hint of mockery.
“You think I’m a turtle in a jar, but I, Liu Nanfeng, am not someone you can casually manipulate.”
“I know you must think my strength is nothing, even insignificant in your eyes.”
“But if I wish to die, no one can stop me.”
“And you will never know who backs me, but as soon as I die, I believe you will soon face retaliation, swift and decisive, leaving you no power to resist.”
After saying this, a knife appeared in his hand, and he plunged it directly towards his heart.
He had no intention of resisting, for he knew Mu Feng’s strength and that the woman before him was someone he could not afford to provoke.
The killing intent emanating from her made him feel as if his very breath was suppressed.
In such a situation, the best course of action was to bring it to a swift end.
Otherwise, if he fell into Mu Feng’s hands, who knew what terrifying consequences awaited him.
He had detailed knowledge of much of Mu Feng’s information and had been paying attention since Mu Feng’s appearance.
Everything that had happened recently was etched in his memory.
Just as his knife touched his skin, before it could penetrate, Huofeng had instantly appeared before him. Her sharp long sword gleamed with an edge.
In an instant, it sliced through his wrist, severing his tendons.
Disbelief flashed in Liu Nanfeng’s eyes. He knew Mu Feng’s strength was immense, but he hadn’t expected that a beautiful woman casually accompanying Mu Feng would possess such terrifying power.
He hadn't even had time to react when she made her move.
In that moment, a single thought formed in his mind: "What kind of terrifying cultivation does Mu Feng possess to have such an expert accompanying him?"
“What benefit did Mu Feng give you for you to follow him so devotedly? If you tell me, I can offer you double, even ten or a hundred times that.”
“He is merely a stray dog, utterly worthless in the eyes of those true magnates.”
“If you choose to follow me, or spare my life, I can introduce you to truly powerful experts.”
Liu Nanfeng’s words were merely a ruse to deceive Huofeng. He had only one thought now.
To seize an opportunity and bring his life to a swift end.
Huofeng displayed a mocking sneer. “There’s no need to speak of powerful forces. Before our Young Master, they are nothing more than trash that can be crushed at will.”
“If it weren’t for you bunch of insects hiding so deeply, our Young Master would have already avenged himself.”
Liu Nanfeng laughed heartily, his eyes filled with arrogance. “You have no idea how powerful the forces behind me are. Any one of their experts could easily wipe you out.”
“Otherwise, do you think the Mu family was destroyed just like that?”
“The Mu family had experts too, but why didn’t they make a move?”
As he spoke these words, his expression gradually became ferocious and terrifying.
“The only regret is that Mu Feng escaped, leaving behind this stray dog, this remnant who became my blade.”
“But it doesn’t matter. I will walk slowly on the road to the underworld, waiting for him. It won’t be long before he comes to join me. At that time, you will know if what I said is true or not.”
Huofeng’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. She felt that what the man before her said might not be false.
Was it possible that he truly had terrifyingly powerful experts protecting him, given his resolute tone?
Seeing that Huofeng was somewhat moved, Liu Nanfeng continued, “I can tell you clearly, Mu Feng’s strength is insignificant in my eyes.”
“Following him will only lead to your doom, you might even die miserably.”
“For a beautiful woman like you, death might even be a release. Falling into their hands would be worse than death.”
“But if you willingly surrender, it’s different. They will surely show leniency and perhaps offer you a higher status. Especially with your beauty, if you catch our Young Master’s eye, you will ascend to the heavens in one step.”
A smile suddenly appeared on Huofeng’s face.
Liu Nanfeng’s heart stirred. Had this woman been swayed?
He had many more arguments prepared.
At this moment, a cold voice echoed from behind him, “You don’t need to say any more. Even if you spoke until a flower bloomed, it would be of no use.”
Upon hearing this voice, Liu Nanfeng felt as if his heart was being clutched by something.
A bucket of cold water was doused over his head.
He slowly turned around and saw Mu Feng.
Mu Feng’s face held a smile. “Some things are not as simple as you think. Do you really believe that with powerful backing behind you, I would be helpless against them?”
“It’s questionable whether those people would even take your words seriously.”
“If things are truly as you say, then your backing forces don’t care about you at all. They are merely using you as a tool for wealth accumulation.”
Mu Feng had also seen the collected data.
Especially regarding the flow of funds, all of which were consolidated into a single account.
And that account had no connection to him, money only went in, never out.
This was clearly a scheme to accumulate wealth for others.
Liu Nanfeng gritted his teeth. “Mu Feng, you are just a pathetic little bug. In the eyes of those true experts, you are nothing.”
“If you have the guts, kill me today. I believe it won’t be long before someone avenges me.”
“You will definitely regret it then.”
After speaking, he closed his eyes, no longer looking at Mu Feng.
“Is it that easy to die?” Mu Feng sneered.
