Tang Ya and the others looked at Lin Feng, who was dominating the scene, their hearts in turmoil.
They hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so formidable, so terrifyingly so!
Only Tang Long could maintain a shred of composure, weakly asking, "Lin Feng, what are your rules? What do you want from my Tang family before you'll let this go?"
"Simple. Pretend today's events never happened, and don't let them leak out."
"Then, openly engage Tang Wan in a business competition. If you win, you walk away unscathed. If you lose, the Tang family loses everything!"
Lin Feng turned, a playful curve forming on his lips.
Tang Ya and the others were even more bewildered.
Lin Feng's so-called rules were for the Tang family to openly compete with Tang Wan in business. What was this?
"I see. You want Tang Wan to realize her own worth, to prove her business acumen, right?"
"Or, you treat my Tang family as your plaything, letting us play games with Tang Wan?"
Tang Long narrowed his eyes, analyzing.
"Yes, I want you to play with Tang Wan. You can also choose not to play. If you don't play, there's only death. If you play, there's a chance to live."
Lin Feng made no pretense of hiding his intentions. He didn't need to resort to schemes or tricks against mere ants.
"You... you're going too far!"
Tang Hai Mei trembled with anger, her teeth rattling. Lin Feng's actions were a humiliation to the Tang family.
"I'm going too far? What can you do about it?"
"Be sensible and do as I say. If you're not sensible, then die!"
Lin Feng's attitude was utterly arrogant. As a king, his words were absolute truth! m..oΓg
"Lin Feng, you truly are devoted to Tang Wan. For her, you're willing to use my Tang family as sparring partners!"
"For her, you're willing to become enemies with the entire Tang family. Why does she deserve such treatment?"
Tang Ya shed tears of unwilling resentment. She feared Lin Feng, no doubt, but she simply couldn't understand why he was so good to Tang Wan.
What did she lack? She had offered herself willingly, yet Lin Feng had never given her a pleasant look. Why?
"Because Tang Wan is willing to sacrifice her life for me. If I'm not good to her, who should I be good to?"
Lin Feng smiled, speaking with utmost seriousness. "Stop wasting time. This is your only chance. Make your choice now, my patience is limited!"
"Alright, we'll do as you say. My Tang family will not resort to underhanded tactics; we will compete with Tang Wan openly in business!"
"Lin Feng, I will show you that I, Tang Ya, am no worse than Tang Wan. I can defeat her!"
Tang Ya's fighting spirit ignited.
Tang Long echoed, "I can guarantee that no one will know about today's events. But I hope that as a martial arts Grandmaster, you will keep your word."
"You are doing this to create a fair arena for Tang Wan. My Tang family used underhanded tactics before, so our actions were wrong, and I can understand your anger!"
"But from now on, you must also be fair to my Tang family and not use your Grandmaster strength to attack us!"
Lin Feng shrugged. "Agreed. I can satisfy your request. Then, I wish your Tang family the best in defeating Tang Wan in the business world!"
With that, Lin Feng called out to Mubei and left without looking back.
Only after Lin Feng had disappeared did Tang Long collapse onto the ground, relieved.
He couldn't help it; Lin Feng's aura was too overwhelming. He had been under immense pressure without buckling.
Now, he felt utterly drained!
Tang Ya was also trembling, her back drenched in sweat.
Only Tang Hai Mei remained defiant, "Why are you all so afraid of him? He's just a martial arts Grandmaster. My Tang family can hire Grandmasters with significant funds to be our enforcers. I refuse to believe there's no one in this world who can defeat him!"
"Aunt, are you truly ignorant, or are you pretending to be?"
"Do you think a Grandmaster can be hired with money?"
"I, Tang Long, as the king of this city, can only yield when I encounter someone at the Grandmaster level. It's not that I fear them, it's that they can truly take my life at any moment!"
Tang Long's eyes were red with anger. He felt Tang Hai Mei was the one who truly deserved to be expelled from the Tang family!
"I, I just didn't know! Why are you yelling at me?"
"Then what do you think we should do now?"
"Tang Wan's beauty patch has such excellent efficacy. If we don't use underhanded tactics, how can we stop her?"
Tang Hai Mei, filled with resentment, slumped to the ground, continuously wiping blood from the corner of her mouth.
"I do have a brilliant idea. Bai ZiMo from the Divine Doctor Sect has unparalleled medical skills. If we can get her to assist my Tang family, we can definitely defeat Tang Wan."
Tang Ya suddenly thought of Bai ZiMo.
"Xiao Ya, we all know the Bai ZiMo you're referring to, but how can we get her to help? Is she someone anyone can invite?"
Tang Hai Mei found it amusing. Grandmasters are not to be insulted, but Bai ZiMo can be?
"I naturally have a way to invite her. The problem now is, should we really not tell anyone about what happened today? Not even Grandpa?"
Tang Ya was conflicted. Such a significant matter, if not reported to the family, would spell doom for the Tang family if any issues arose.
"We absolutely cannot tell anyone. We promised Lin Feng, and we must abide by the rules of the game. If you break them, even I, Tang Long, will not tolerate it!"
"A scholar can be killed, but not insulted!"
"I, Tang Long, would rather die in battle than live on my knees!"
Tang Long was still a man of spirit. He even began to understand Lin Feng's violent actions.
It was because some members of the Tang family had truly gone too far.
Not only did they play dirty behind the scenes, but they also lacked integrity.
If he were Lin Feng, he wouldn't have let the Tang family off so easily either!
