Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 573 Yuan Kun’s Inner Thoughts (Fifth Update)

Yuan Kun’s home was in a secluded villa at the foot of the mountain. Usually, when Yuan Kun practiced martial arts, he would do so on a large patch of flat ground by the door. This place was very peaceful, with hardly anyone around, resembling an isolated paradise, which is why Yuan Kun was particularly fond of it.

And now Yuan Kun was all alone at home, sitting on the sofa with a bottle of strong liquor in his hand, gulping it down. The coffee table in front of him was already littered with several empty bottles.

He was extremely frustrated because he couldn’t contact Master Uncle Liu Hong no matter what, which was very peculiar. Master Uncle Liu Hong sought Lin Feng for the Ancient Exotic Jade. If nothing had gone wrong, he should have fought Lin Feng by now. Considering Master Uncle’s status as an S-class martial artist, it was unlikely that anything unexpected happened. Lin Feng, however dis good he might be, was no match for Master Uncle. Perhaps Master Uncle had already killed Lin Feng.

But why couldn’t he get in touch with Master Uncle? It just didn’t make sense. If Master Uncle Liu Hong had fought with Lin Feng and killed him, he surely would not have found the Ancient Exotic Jade and would have returned to seek him out. So... what on earth was going on? What had happened? Yuan Kun couldn’t figure it out, no matter how hard he tried. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more depressed he was, the more he wanted to drink.

Suddenly, a shocking thought popped into Yuan Kun’s mind.

Could it be... Could it be that Master Uncle... he ran into some danger?

Impossible, impossible! Master Uncle was a venerable S-class martial artist, on the same level as my master. How could he possibly be in danger? An S-class martial artist getting killed was unheard of, so it couldn’t be that Master Uncle was in any danger. Then... what was happening? Why couldn’t he just get in touch with Master Uncle?

Could it be that something unexpected happened when Master Uncle fought with Lin Feng, something that alerted the Old Monster in Capital City? That couldn’t be possible, either. Master Uncle was far too cautious. He knew full well how terrifying the combat power of an S-class martial artist was, and if he was going to confront Lin Feng, he would surely do so in a place undetectable by others, probably somewhere far from Capital City, a desolate wilderness where he wouldn’t alert the Old Monster.

The only explanation was that Lin Feng hadn’t died, but Master Uncle Liu Hong’s whereabouts were unknown. Otherwise, Master Uncle would have surely contacted him if he had killed Lin Feng!

Yuan Kun took another swig of liquor. The burning alcohol seared his throat, giving him a different kind of stimulation, but still, he couldn’t make sense of it. His mind was ceaselessly trying to understand, and Yuan Kun was completely stunned. He didn’t know how long it had been, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t comprehend how Lin Feng could still be alive if Master Uncle Liu Hong had made a move... it was simply too incredible...

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with rage. Ever since Lin Feng had shown up, not a single thing had gone according to his plans... How could he not be angry!

First, Lin Feng’s appearance disrupted the strategy he had labored over for years. Lin Feng’s relationship with Leng Mei was almost clear now, so his hope of using the Leng Family was completely dashed.

Next, Lin Feng cured Meng Ping of an ailment that even Master Uncle Liu Hong had no remedy for, and the perfection of the treatment exceeded everyone’s expectations, entirely ruining his plan of gaining gratitude from both the Leng and Meng families by getting the Ancient Exotic Jade for Master Uncle Liu Hong.

During the arranged banquet, his attempts to force Lin Feng into an embarrassing position, even bringing Zeng Xiaolong into the mix, had no effect at all...

Then, Zeng Xiaolong’s attempt to take down Lin Feng and Leng Hao also ended in failure!

Finally, when he had obtained specific information about Lin Feng, which he sent to both Leng Hao and Zeng Xiaolong, he thought that at least one party would manage to drive Lin Feng away, but to everyone’s surprise, Leng Hao ended up knocked unconscious by Lin Feng, and Zeng Xiaolong even had his legs broken by Lin Feng!

...

One incident after another had Yuan Kun’s head spinning, unable to fathom just what kind of person Lin Feng was. How come none of the schemes he had carefully laid out succeeded against Lin Feng, but instead, let Lin Feng destroy years of his hard work? How could he possibly swallow such humiliation? Even if it meant falling out with the Leng Family, he was now determined to completely ruin Lin Feng!

"Lin Feng, even if you manage to escape from your master uncle’s grasp and even if you have a myriad of skills, you’ll never guess that I’ve set a massive trap for you long ago. This trap was meant to kick you when you’re down, but unexpectedly, not even Master Uncle Liu Hong could handle you, and up till now, we’ve lost contact with him, with no clue as to his whereabouts. But no matter, even if Master Uncle Liu Hong has left, this fail-safe measure will surely leave you bankrupt and penniless!"

"Haha..." Thinking of this, Yuan Kun couldn’t help but burst into laughter. His smile was filled with ferocity, and Lin Feng, no matter how capable, wouldn’t be able to get past this hurdle. An out-of-season scion, if he owed banks hundreds of millions, no skill would help him turn things around. Despite the huge mishap this time, after tonight, Lin Feng would become someone who couldn’t lift his head for the rest of his life, while he, on the other hand, would make billions. That was more than enough!

After tonight, even without the Leng Family, he could create his own Financial Empire. Then, he could torment Lin Feng however he pleased. Yuan Kun’s thoughts made him increasingly joyful, and he eventually couldn’t help but take a big swig of alcohol, musing over how to make Lin Feng never stand up again. Beating the down-and-out was something he always enjoyed doing, especially to Lin Feng, the person he loathed to the bone...

...

"Squeak..."

The car pulled up at Yuan Kun’s residence. Lin Feng and Leng Hao got out and walked up to Yuan Kun’s home, with Leng Hao casually opening the villa’s huge door and leading Lin Feng in as though entering his own house.

Upon entering the living room, they were greeted by the pungent smell of alcohol, and seeing Yuan Kun drinking on the sofa made Leng Hao’s face instantly turn ice-cold.

"Big brother, I came to ask you a question. Have you been using me as a pawn ever since Lin Feng showed up?" Leng Hao’s voice was cold; deep down, he had already guessed Yuan Kun’s intentions. He just wanted to hear it from Yuan Kun himself. He could never have imagined his senior brother was such a person. If it weren’t for Lin Feng enlightening him, and if his sister really ended up with such a sneaky man, Leng Hao would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Haha, junior brother, are you just realizing it now? You already know, so why bother asking me? Yes, I simply disliked Lin Feng. I was jealous of Lin Feng getting together with your sister. In what way am I not good enough? I waited so many years for your sister, only to find out she had gotten together with Lin Feng in the end. Is this fair to me? Why should Lin Feng be with your sister? What’s so special about a down-and-out son from a once wealthy family, who has now stooped to the level of a university professor? What gives him the right to win your sister’s heart?"

"You know well what I’ve been like all these years and how outstanding I am. Let’s not even talk about other things; you know the women who chase after me. Isn’t each one a daughter of heaven? If it weren’t for your sister, would I have stayed single for so many years?"

"Over the years, I finally gained approval from your family. I was thinking of proposing in a few years. Even your cold-hearted sister would surely be touched and agree to marry me. But all of a sudden, because of Lin Feng, your sister’s attitude changed. Tell me, how can I be content after waiting in vain for so many years? What’s wrong with me using you to deal with Lin Feng!"

Yuan Kun was somewhat drunk by now, but he could still clearly hear Leng Hao’s voice. Seeing Leng Hao appear with Lin Feng, Yuan Kun knew everything must have been exposed. Lin Feng surely told Leng Hao all the ins and outs. With Leng Hao’s intelligence, it wouldn’t be hard to deduce the whole story, so there was no point in hiding anything anymore.

But looking at Lin Feng, Yuan Kun’s eyes were brimming with hatred. It was all because of this man’s arrival that the plan he spent years crafting had gone up in smoke, forcing him to choose a path he least wanted to take. All of this was thanks to Lin Feng, and now he wished he could grind Lin Feng to dust. But Yuan Kun wasn’t a fool; if Lin Feng could return alive from his master uncle’s hands, then he must not be someone Yuan Kun could deal with. Otherwise, upon seeing Lin Feng here, Yuan Kun would have immediately attacked him, ready to kill Lin Feng with his own hands!

"Lin Feng, don’t gloat here. The moment you gave me your ID, I borrowed tens of millions in your name and speculated on recycled metals in the Tianhai Futures Market. By the end of tonight, you’ll be a poor devil, indebted by several hundred million, while I’ll make billions! Just you wait and see, Lin Feng. I want to see what kind of end awaits someone burdened with such debt,"

"Haha! After tonight, even without the Leng family’s help, I will still rise. With these billions, I can build my own Financial Empire, and my goals will be achieved all the same. All of this was forced by you, Lin Feng. Rest assured, I’ll surely strike you down in every way, making sure you can’t even find a job. Hahaha!"

Yuan Kun had become completely deranged, no longer needing to disguise his thoughts. Speaking the words he had long suppressed in his heart made him feel incredibly relieved. Recently, he had received insider information that the domestic market for recycled metals was about to rise, so he had invested all his movable funds into the futures market, including his own capital, loans from underground money houses, bank loans, and embezzled public funds...
