Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1076 - 1074: Rising Again from the East Mountain

"How’s life in the jianghu treating you?" Lin Feng walked over to Brother Huangmao’s stall and spoke to him indifferently. Brother Huangmao was smart; he didn’t need much explanation.

"Sigh, as you can see, I’m utterly down and out!" Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Brother Huangmao let out a sigh, revealing his thoughts. Even if he wanted to make a comeback now, there wasn’t a chance for him. Better to cling to life than to die.

Upon hearing Brother Huangmao’s words, Lin Feng nodded, took a seat on a small stool beside the stall, and with a wave of his hand, conjured several cans of beer out of thin air, tossing one to Brother Huangmao.

What is this?

Brother Huangmao was stunned to see Lin Feng conjure several cans of beer from thin air, just like magic, not understanding how Lin Feng did it. But he soon gave up on the idea; he had witnessed Lin Feng’s magic before, there was no need to be surprised about this.

"Join me for a drink," Lin Feng said indifferently, opening a beer, wanting to catch up on Brother Huangmao’s recent situation and learn how he fell to his current state.

"Sure!" Upon hearing Lin Feng’s invitation, Brother Huangmao nodded and gave a simple response. He really had a lot to say to Lin Feng; before, when Lin Feng was not around, he could just forget about it, but now that Lin Feng was here, he did not want to miss the chance.

After speaking, Brother Huangmao opened his beer, clinked cans with Lin Feng, and began to speak, "Look at my downfall now. After being cleaned up by you a few times in the past, I’ve learned my lesson, restrained my men from collecting protection money and getting involved in drug dealing. But then, Brother Xiaoyao showed up; he dealt drugs and was ruthless, leaving me in this miserable state. I don’t blame anyone, I knew the risks involved in this path long ago."

Now, Brother Huangmao was quite resigned to whatever happened, and he also realized that what Lin Feng said before was right. Relying on protection fees and mixing with the underworld held no future. If it weren’t for Brother Xiaoyao, he would have been in a much better position than he was now.

After finishing his story, Brother Huangmao took a big gulp of beer, trying to drown his sorrows with it, but as soon as he drank, a severe cough set in...

"Cough cough cough..."

A series of intense coughs sounded terrifying, even coughing up streaks of blood. Being targeted by Brother Xiaoyao and beaten up every now and then, his injuries never really healed, and the fact that he was still alive was a testament to his luck.

After a good while of coughing, he finally caught his breath, shook his head helplessly, and said to Lin Feng, "Sigh, I can’t even drink anymore..."

"Slap!"

Lin Feng did not say anything, but gently patted Brother Huangmao’s back— very lightly, the sound was clear in the night.

What is this?

Startled by Lin Feng’s sudden pat, Brother Huangmao jerked in surprise, not understanding Lin Feng’s intention, but before he could ask, suddenly, something felt off. The pain that had plagued him for over six months vanished, and even the previously suffocating sensation when breathing eased. It was as if the strength that had long left his body had returned!

In an instant, Brother Huangmao was utterly astonished looking at Lin Feng. He knew about Lin Feng’s extraordinary abilities and how his skills were beyond anyone’s imagination, but he never expected Lin Feng to have such a miraculous ability. A mere pat and his injuries were healed—this was something not even a mortal could do, perhaps not even an Immortal! Staring at Lin Feng, Brother Huangmao stood like a statue, truly unable to comprehend what had just happened...

"Your injuries aren’t completely healed, take this." Seeing the dumbfounded expression on Brother Huangmao’s face, Lin Feng said with a light smile, and with a wave of his hand, a pill appeared and was tossed to Brother Huangmao. Since Lin Feng intended to save him, he wanted Brother Huangmao to fully recover, otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered.

Brother Huangmao clumsily caught the pill Lin Feng gave him, now truly overjoyed. He never thought that such severe injuries could be healed by Lin Feng, and moreover, that Lin Feng would give him a pill for a complete recovery. Tears streamed down his face again as his heart filled with gratitude towards Lin Feng.

Looking at Lin Feng, Brother Huangmao was on the verge of tears, mouth agape, about to thank Lin Feng, but before he could speak, Lin Feng cut him off...

"Keep it, join me for a drink!" Seeing Brother Huangmao’s tearful expression, Lin Feng said nonchalantly, it really was nothing to him; the pill wasn’t even that precious to warrant such gratitude.

"Alright, let’s drink!" Brother Huangmao responded upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, slipping the pill into his pocket. He picked up his can of beer, clinked with Lin Feng again, and took a big gulp without any discomfort, feeling nothing but utter relief. At that moment, he felt as if he had reverted to his old self, which made him truly overjoyed.

Lin Feng smiled and took a sip, then asked Brother Huangmao, "Do you have any regrets? What are your plans for the future?"

"No regrets. If I had a choice, I would still choose to walk this path because I was born for it." Brother Huangmao didn’t need to think before giving his answer. This was his realization over the past period; he was born for the underworld life, and other paths just didn’t suit him. If possible, he still hoped to continue on.

"Fine, then you keep doing this job." Lin Feng nodded, fully understanding Huangmao’s feelings, and said with a smile. After that, they clinked their drinks again, drinking and chatting together.

"What happened to you before?"

"Alas, I had a traitor among my men who stabbed me in the back, and then Brother Xiaoyao showed up with his crew; that’s how I ended up like this."

"It happens often; just be more careful with those around you in the future."

"Yeah, I was too careless. That traitor was my best friend; I never thought Brother Xiaoyao would buy him off."

...

Afterward, the two discussed recent events, and Lin Feng learned from Huangmao exactly what had happened, taking the chance to give him some advice. Since the incidents had passed, Huangmao was an open book, and their conversation was very relaxed.

Unknowingly, a pile of beer cans had accumulated in front of them. Seeing that they’d had enough, Lin Feng ended their conversation. Casually picking up his phone, he dialed Qian Duoduo’s number, and the call connected quickly.

"Duoduo, from now on, leave the night market area under Huangmao’s control; pass on the message," Lin Feng said casually. Qian Duoduo’s Great South Gang had long dominated Tianhai’s underworld. With Qian Duoduo’s word, this area would be under Huangmao’s control. The underworld could never be completely eradicated, but compared to Brother Xiaoyao, Lin Feng would rather have Huangmao in charge of this territory - at least under Huangmao’s watch, undesirable incidents wouldn’t happen.

"Sure." On the other end of the phone, Qian Duoduo immediately responded. This was a small matter for her, and she wouldn’t object to Lin Feng’s arrangements.

Lin Feng hung up the phone and stood looking at the stunned Huangmao before dialing Ji Yunlong’s number. Qian Duoduo was of a much higher level; Ji Yunlong was responsible for Tianhai, and instructing him meant getting things in order.

"Mr... Mr. Lin, what can I do for you?" Ji Yunlong was surprised to receive a call from Lin Feng, wondering what Lin Feng needed.

"Send some men to follow Huangmao. The night market area is his now." Lin Feng wasn’t polite and directly gave his instructions, which Ji Yunlong knew how to carry out.

"Got it, I’ll take care of it immediately!" Ji Yunlong agreed right away upon hearing Lin Feng’s plans. Why Lin Feng made such arrangements wasn’t for him to question; he just needed to follow through.

"That’s it then; I’m at the corner of Wuxiang Street." After hearing Ji Yunlong’s response, Lin Feng briefly stated his location and then hung up the phone. His gaze returned to Huangmao, who was still like a statue, and he smiled faintly, understanding Huangmao’s reaction - anyone would be in disbelief after hearing such a conversation.

Indeed, Huangmao didn’t believe it. He didn’t know who Lin Feng had called, how just a few sentences could change the handover of control for the area; how could that be possible?

"Don’t be so surprised. You should take the Elixir; as for Brother Xiaoyao on the ground, you handle it. I don’t want to see him again." Lin Feng’s voice was casual; everything was already settled, and he didn’t need to worry about what followed. After saying this, Lin Feng disappeared...

Am I... am I dreaming?

At this moment, Huangmao’s mind was barely functioning - the information overload was too much for him to process. The fact that a few sentences from Lin Feng could take care of his future affairs was simply unbelievable, leaving Huangmao feeling unreal.

Suddenly remembering Lin Feng’s words, Huangmao’s gaze shifted toward the unconscious Brother Xiaoyao. Approaching, he confirmed Brother Xiaoyao’s identity. Scenes of past events flashed through his mind, and he could hardly resist flaying Brother Xiaoyao alive! But he didn’t want to kill Brother Xiaoyao so quickly; that would be letting him off too easily!

"Bang! Crack!"

In the darkness of night, a crisp sound suddenly emerged, followed by the noise of breaking bones, which was especially eerie in the dark...

"Ah..."

An exceedingly tragic scream pierced the night as Brother Xiaoyao woke up from the pain only to faint again. Even as he lost consciousness, he didn’t see who had attacked him.

Looking at Brother Xiaoyao in his current state, Huangmao, holding half a bench in his hand, smiled faintly. Today was just the beginning. He wanted everyone to know that Brother Huangmao was back in business, and he would personally seek justice from those who had wronged him.

Suddenly, a car came speeding across from the other side of the road, halting in front of Huangmao.
