Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1269 - 1267: Encounter

"How is this possible! Where did you put the mech?"

Jack witnessed the scene with his own eyes, and he was utterly shocked, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief. If Lin Feng had just taken out paper and a pen earlier, he could have found it plausible, like something a magician might do. But the problem was, this was a mech taller than a person. Even if you wanted it to disappear, it shouldn’t be possible. Yet, Lin Feng waved his hand, and the mech vanished. He thought to himself, what on earth has Lin Feng done!

Staring at Lin Feng, he really didn’t know how to express his feelings. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out how Lin Feng made the mech disappear. He increasingly felt Lin Feng was like a god—truly omnipotent, capable of dismantling his mech with bare hands, far superior in academic fields. Now, he can inexplicably make such a large, heavy mech disappear in an instant. This... this isn’t something a human can do...

After Lin Feng stored away the mech, he was about to leave when he saw Jack still standing dumbfounded, looking at him as if he’d seen a ghost. Lin Feng immediately understood what Jack was thinking, but they should leave here first. He didn’t want to encounter those irrelevant people.

"Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, someone will come." Lin Feng looked at Jack and said casually, also nodding at Chu Meng to signal everyone to leave together.

Chu Meng was easy to handle, as she had long been in perfect sync with Lin Feng. Just a glance from him, and she understood what he meant. But Jack was different. It was only when they had to leave that he snapped out of his shock, suddenly remembered the pursuit by the Locke Group, and instantly panicked!

"Oh no, how could I forget this, the Locke Group must have already caught up, it’s too late to leave now! This is the end, this is the end..." Jack was really panicking now. Although Chu Meng was here, there were only three of them. If the other side didn’t play by the rules, even if they killed all three of them, no one would know. He thought to himself, how could he have overlooked this, this was simply courting death!

Chu Meng saw Jack like this and laughed. She said to Jack, "Why are you worrying about all that? No need to fret, with Lin Feng here, there won’t be any problems."

Chu Meng wasn’t worried about safety at all. With Lin Feng here, nobody in the world could touch them. Lin Feng’s strength was beyond this world; no person or weapon could have any effect, even if the other side sent mechs, it wouldn’t work!

"You don’t really understand the Locke Group. They’ve produced many different models of mechs. The one I had was the most basic, only transformed later through modification to what it is now. Other types of mechs are much more powerful, the most formidable being the SSS-grade mech, capable of challenging an entire army by itself. With just the three of us, there’s no way we can escape!"

Hearing Chu Meng’s words, Jack immediately panicked. He was very familiar with the Locke Group’s mechs. Even if Lin Feng was formidable and could take apart his mech, he wouldn’t be able to handle the Locke Group’s other mechs. His own mech was the most basic, for preservation, whereas the Locke Group’s mechs were not that simple. Those were real killing machines. Faced with such mechs, they were surely doomed!

"You still don’t understand Lin Feng. Let’s go, get in the car!" When Chu Meng saw how terrified Jack was, she laughed even harder. No matter how powerful the mech, in front of Lin Feng, it was just a pile of scrap metal. After saying this, she tugged Jack towards the car.

Lin Feng, standing aside, hadn’t spoken a word the whole time. However, he was quite interested in what Jack said. Leng Hao had already been severely injured by the mech earlier. If he had the chance, Lin Feng would like to see what these so-called mechs were like.

The three of them quickly reached the car they had come in. Just as they were about to get in, suddenly three off-road pickup trucks roared over from afar, as if flying. Something seemed to be covered with canvas on the back of the pickups, and the three vehicles instantly blocked the road!

"They... they’re from the Locke Group!"

Seeing the three pickups, Jack’s face instantly turned pale, and he exclaimed in shock. Of course, he recognized these three vehicles; they belonged to the Locke Group. In other words, the Locke Group had already caught up with them. The thought of this truly terrified him. If caught and taken back, his life would be extremely miserable; he didn’t want to continue living like a prisoner.

Chu Meng and Lin Feng heard Jack’s words, but they showed no reaction, standing there naturally as if there was no danger at all. In fact, it was indeed the case. With Lin Feng here, Chu Meng had no worries about safety, and she was also quite curious to see what the mechs across from them were like.

Three men got out of the pickups, completely blocking the way. At the same time, from behind the pickups, the canvas suddenly lifted, and three individuals clad in light mechs jumped out. The mechs were very lightweight, only covering vital areas, with the mechanical exoskeleton exposed in other parts.

Seeing these people, Jack quickly said to Chu Meng and Lin Feng, "Those are S-grade assault mechs, specializing in speed and attack. It’s over, three mechs, even if an Immortal came today, they wouldn’t be able to run!"

Seeing these three mechs, Jack was already in despair. The strongest feature of the S-grade assault mechs was speed. With three mechs here, none of them would be able to escape today. Now he felt utterly dejected. He should have known better than to talk so much with Chu Meng and the others earlier, which wasted their time to escape. Now they were trapped here, unable to run even if they wanted to...

Lin Feng and Chu Meng, upon hearing Jack’s words, began to carefully examine these so-called S-grade assault mechs. These mechs were very simplified, with only a large gun as a weapon system. There was also an exaggerated gun blade at the end of the gun. The mechs, in their pursuit of speed, compromised on defense, made entirely of special metal skeletal frames, supplemented by a special propulsion system. This ensured speed, purely from a design perspective, posing no issues, and it was quite perfect in execution.

But just as Lin Feng and Chu Meng were examining the mechs, the sound of a helicopter echoed from the sky, and soon a blue mech descended slowly, landing beside the pickups in an instant.

Once the mech landed, accompanied by the sound of machinery, it opened, and out stepped a middle-aged foreign man over 1.8 meters tall. He had a brawny yet lean build, clad in a very formal brown suit, his demeanor exceptionally elegant, with deep blue eyes that appeared extremely wise. This was none other than the current Clan Leader of the Locke Family—Edward Locke!

Glancing at Chu Meng and the trio, Edward laughed heartily and walked over. As Chu Meng’s old rival, meeting under these circumstances was, indeed, a sort of fate, and a greeting was necessary: "Chu Meng, I’ve heard long ago that you found a man in Tianhai, and he’s supposed to be very formidable—is it this young man here?"

As Edward spoke, he also gave Lin Feng a brief introduction: "I’m Edward Locke, the current Clan Leader of the Locke Family, and an old adversary of Chu Meng. You’re impressive. I have high hopes for you!"

Edward knew little about Lin Feng, but even the known information had made Edward restless for a long time, as Lin Feng was unmatched in many domains. This wasn’t something that could be explained by genius alone. Chu Meng being with such a person was no surprise. Apart from Lin Feng, there was likely no one else in the world worthy of Chu Meng. He was even insanely jealous as to why there was no such super genius in the Locke Family!

After saying this, he glanced beside Chu Meng and immediately spotted Jack. He laughed, pointed at Jack, and said, "There you are. We’ve wasted a lot of time chasing you. Come back with me; if you cooperate, I won’t let them do anything to you. Once back, you’ll still be the department head, and I can help resolve any life issues. I give you my word—I only need you for a year. After a year, you can leave the Locke Group, and even then, I can ensure you’ll have a lifetime of worry-free existence!"

Edward looked at Jack, speaking casually, but it conveyed another feeling. The Locke Group placed a significant value on Jack, and his unauthorized escape seemed entirely his fault. His pursuit of Jack seemed entirely justified.

"No way, I won’t go back to help you, you Demon. I’ve already joined Chu Meng; I’m now with her!" Jack, upon hearing Edward’s words, rejected them immediately without a second thought. Returning to the underground research center of the Locke Group was not something he’d ever agree to, especially now that he had made arrangements with Chu Meng and was considered her person, thus, it was even more impossible to leave Chu Meng and go back to being a captive. He’d have to be out of his mind to make such a decision.

"He’s right, he is now mine." At this moment, Chu Meng said calmly. Indeed, Jack was now with her, and there were development projects later that required Jack’s involvement, so no matter what, she couldn’t let Jack go.

Edward, upon hearing what Jack and Chu Meng said, laughed immediately. He looked at Chu Meng and said leisurely, "Chu Meng, although you found him before I did, he’s still mine. No matter what, I need to take him with me. If you have any needs in energy research, you can come to me. I can even have him personally assist you, but I must take him today."

"You should know that others don’t receive such treatment, but if you ask, no problem! Isn’t this condition generous enough? Honestly, I really don’t want to hurt you. I hope to resolve this without harming anyone here."
