Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 820: You Are Not Qualified Enough

"Of course, you’re just a greenhorn, so stop bluffing around here. If you refuse to agree, I’ll have them make their move, and by that time, it’ll be you asking for trouble." Hearing Lin Feng’s question, Catherine almost laughed herself breathless, never imagining this situation would arise. Could Lin Feng really be so foolish? Everyone here was a master, and with Lin Feng being so young, how could he possibly withstand their fury? That was simply impossible.

"Compete with me? You’re not qualified." Lin Feng listened to Catherine’s words and shook his head instead of taking action himself, then sat back down in his original spot with an air of indifference as he watched Catherine. Indeed, the situation was as Lin Feng had described—these cultivators might be formidable in the eyes of ordinary people, but facing Lin Feng, they failed to pique his interest in the slightest. After all, how could an elephant take notice of an ant? That was the reality now.

"What, you dare to look down on us!"

"You’re way too arrogant, I want to knock you down!"

"No way, today I must knock you down and make you take us seriously!"

"We’re not qualified? Then what are you, just a bratty kid?"

...

Seven cultivators burst in from outside upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, all of them enraged, glaring at Lin Feng with fiery eyes as if to say this kid was way too arrogant. They were cultivators, and yet this twenty-something punk, who likely hadn’t even grown a full set of whiskers yet, dared to speak to them like this—wasn’t this a death wish?

They had been watching the gambling going on inside the room from behind, typically staying in the lounge behind the private rooms where surveillance monitors were installed, so they had seen everything clearly. While they were somewhat surprised that a kid could win Catherine’s money, their anger quickly grew. The reason was simple: seeing Lin Feng gambling so casually irritated them to no end. Each of them received a good sum of money from Catherine every month, so to expect them to be pleased with Lin Feng was absurd.

So, when Catherine gestured, they did not hesitate and charged in from outside. They understood Catherine’s thinking clearly enough—things had pushed her into a corner, and she definitely intended to keep Lin Feng there for good. They watched Lin Feng’s composed demeanor with bewilderment—considering the situation, had he gone mad? Seeing them as cultivators, was he... was Lin Feng scared witless? Otherwise, how could he still talk like this...

Seeing Catherine’s arrogant demeanor on the big screen made everyone in the hall even more frightened, each one thinking how to leave this place, truly not wanting to die...

Catherine was really going to kill someone!

She really was going to kill out of sheer rage!

Damn it, why did I get such a wild idea, coming to gamble in international waters!

Lin Feng, oh, Lin Feng, have you lost your mind? At a time like this, why do you still speak like that? Don’t you know to stall for time!

...

Their hearts were in turmoil, hearing Catherine’s and Lin Feng’s conversation, as well as those seven cultivators, their fear had become unbearable. They all thought Lin Feng must be out of his mind—speaking like that at such a time was courting death. Those people looked nothing like saints, and here they were, ready to get physical, and Lin Feng was still provoking them, which was the same as deliberately aggravating them. Couldn’t delaying for a bit kill them, surviving one more minute was another minute lived!

In their view, if Lin Feng had diffused the situation, hadn’t spoken so, perhaps there could have been a way to soften things. Even if Lin Feng had offered the money to buy his life, there might have still been a chance for them to survive. They believed that with enough money, they could buy their lives—that was what they wished for the most now. As long as they could live, what did money matter?

As for Lin Feng fighting those people, that was something they did not even want to consider. Lin Feng looked so young, seemingly no different from Huang Shi in appearance; how capable could he be? Surely, he would be killed by these desperados, of that there was no doubt.

But if Lin Feng died, then without a doubt, they would be facing Catherine’s wrath, which filled them with even more inexhaustible terror...

Huang Yu stood inside the room, hands braced against the glass, also watching and hearing the exchanges between Catherine and Lin Feng. His heart was shattered, and he couldn’t express how much he regretted everything. Tears of remorse flowed from his eyes. If he hadn’t been so greedy, if he hadn’t invited Catherine to Tianhai, he wouldn’t have encountered today’s events. It was clear to anyone; Catherine was in a state of rage, and Lin Feng was still defying her—wasn’t that just a death wish?

If Lin Feng and Huang Shi died, then his own end would likely be even more miserable. If things went as expected, Catherine would surely be even less merciful toward him. What to do in such a dilemma? He wanted to run away, but he knew that unless he died, escape was impossible. The only way out was surely guarded by Catherine’s sailors, and the thought of leaving was just a pipe dream. As these thoughts raced through his mind, his anxiety grew, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Huang Yu was so tense right now that he no longer knew what to do; his brain wasn’t listening to him anymore. He had even forgotten everything that had happened at the Huang Family just a few hours earlier. All he felt was fear, and at the same time, he was praying that Lin Feng and Huang Shi could live a little longer. Right now, a thought struck him, how good it was to be alive...

The croupier and Catherine’s assistant had fled to a corner of the wall as soon as the seven men burst into the room. Though they were scared of killing, they knew perfectly well that Catherine wouldn’t hesitate under such circumstances. After all, it was 2.8 billion US dollars at stake here—money so vast that even Catherine couldn’t come up with it on her own, let alone the fact that Lin Feng had backed her into a corner. If they didn’t act now, when would they?

This situation had all been created by Lin Feng himself. It would have been enough to win a little, but why be so greedy? This was practically courting death!

The two looked at Lin Feng with pity in their eyes, thinking that if Lin Feng hadn’t been so greedy, he might still have had a chance to survive today. There was no other possibility at this point. As for the idea that Lin Feng could defeat the seven people in this room, they did not entertain such a thought for even a second. What a joke—each of these seven people were cultivators. The last time in Australia, a man came to gamble with his bodyguards and tried to renege on his debt after losing. Just one of the seven took action then and knocked over more than a dozen professional bodyguards, leaving them sprawling and defeated. Now with all seven here, Lin Feng and Huang Shi were undoubtedly doomed!

Clearly, at this moment, everyone aboard the gambling ship, except for Lin Feng and Huang Shi, believed that they were facing certain death. In this situation, leaving alive was simply impossible. In their eyes, no matter how powerful Lin Feng and Huang Shi were, they could not escape their fates of being killed today. The fact that these seven men had shown up at the last moment made it clear that they were not ordinary people; they were obviously Catherine’s assassins. Lin Feng and Huang Shi, being so young, could hardly be a match for these professional killers. It just wasn’t possible.

"Lin Feng, to say we’re not qualified to take action is really laughable," Catherine said. "Do you know who these men are? They are cultivators. To put it bluntly, each one of them is capable of fighting a hundred men. You say we’re not qualified—it’s really too funny. Fine, I’ll let you see how formidable we are. Go, cripple Lin Feng for me! Just leave him his life!"

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Catherine nearly burst into laughter out of sheer irritation. She thought to herself how enormous Lin Feng’s courage must be; to dare to speak like that at such a time, as if he had consumed the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard. But what good was courage without strength? Without the ability to back it up, words alone could not change the inevitability of being killed by others. So now, she had lost all patience for talking with Lin Feng and directly ordered her subordinates to cripple him and then see how Lin Feng would try to be sharp-tongued.

"Huh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Humph!"

...

The seven men had been ready all along, and upon Catherine’s command, without any hesitation, they charged at Lin Feng like a fierce wind, all fists and feet, each attack slicing through the air sharply. The ferocity of their assault was so clear in the confined space of the room that they no longer seemed human to the onlookers; rather, they appeared as a pack of vicious wolves ready to tear Lin Feng and Huang Shi to shreds.

No one believed that Lin Feng and Huang Shi could survive under such circumstances. It was simply impossible. The speed and the strength of the seven men were so exaggerated that not even elite soldiers among special forces could match. How could Lin Feng and Huang Shi, two young scions barely in their twenties, possibly stand a chance against them? They could be fatally beaten at any moment...

Even some of the more faint-hearted people in the hall had closed their eyes, not wishing to witness such a bloody scene...

Alas, to die just like this!

Skilled enough to win money, but not to spend it!

How much better it would have been for him to be a bit smarter and not win so much!

It was all due to greed, wasn’t it? If not for greed, how could Lin Feng have fallen to such an end!

...

Everyone in the hall was convinced that Lin Feng could not possibly survive in the face of the combined attack of the seven formidable men. There was no way Lin Feng and Huang Shi could escape this perilous situation, so the incident today was sure to end with the demise of Lin Feng and Huang Shi. Mourning their fate, they couldn’t help but wonder if Lin Feng and Huang Shi were truly fools for pushing Catherine to such a point...

However, at that moment, something happened that took everyone by surprise!
