Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 822: Poison Needle

At that moment, they finally understood why Huang Shi had brought Lin Feng on board to gamble with Catherine. It wasn’t only because Lin Feng was wealthy and good at gambling, but because he was a super powerhouse, a master so formidable it was beyond reckoning. Otherwise, how could he possibly have used playing cards to kill those seven experts in such a short time, right in front of their eyes? They witnessed just how brutally those seven experts were killed, as if they were dismembered by chaotic blades. This... This was something that playing cards couldn’t possibly achieve—it was nothing short of miraculous!

No matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn’t understand how playing cards could be so powerful; it was simply unbelievable. If it hadn’t happened right in front of them, they would never believe in a world where playing cards could be so deadly. With this in mind, they all looked back at Lin Feng, who still sat there calmly and collected, as if nothing had happened. This made them realize why Lin Feng had always been so composed—because with playing cards in hand, no one was his match!

Looking at the playing cards still left in Lin Feng’s hands, their hearts were utterly terrified. Even though they knew Lin Feng wouldn’t harm them, they couldn’t help but feel an uncontrollable fear of him. In the face of Lin Feng’s absolute power, everything else was futile!

In that case... now that Catherine had moved against Lin Feng today, how could she possibly still have the chance to survive? Maybe... maybe Catherine’s fate today would be even more tragic than those who had died...

No, it couldn’t be!

It was impossible!

Impossible!

...

Huang Yu had initially seen through the glass that seven people were making a move against Lin Feng and Huang Shi, but he never expected such an unexpected event to occur. The seven men who attacked Lin Feng not only failed to injure him, but suddenly, deep wounds appeared on each of their bodies, exposing bones, and they fell to the ground with a scream...

Seeing this scene, Huang Yu was completely shocked and speechless, unable to fathom such an unbelievable spectacle. How could Lin Feng be so formidable? What level of master was he?

Now, Huang Yu’s mind was filled with fear toward Lin Feng. He knew the consequences of today’s events. If Catherine confessed him before dying, he would certainly face dire repercussions. If Huang Shi discovered the truth about his betrayal, Huang Shi would certainly kill him, especially in international waters where murder was not punishable.

Thinking of this, the sweat on Huang Yu’s forehead broke out again, and he hadn’t dared to dream that although there was an unexpected turn of events, the outcome might still be the same. At this moment, he was extremely tense, endlessly praying for Lin Feng to quickly kill Catherine before she could speak, to secure a glimmer of hope for himself; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. As for Catherine surviving, Huang Shi thought that was utterly impossible. After all those men had died, what could one woman possibly defend against...

Huang Shi, standing next to Lin Feng, was also astounded upon witnessing this scene, his mind racing with potential methods Boss might have used. However, he never imagined Boss would use playing cards to kill, truly beyond his expectations. No matter what, he couldn’t have imagined how soft playing cards could become lethal weapons in Boss’s hands—it was something that simply shouldn’t happen under normal circumstances, yet Boss clearly demonstrated it right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe.

At this point, as Huang Shi looked at Boss, his eyes gleamed even brighter because the more formidable Boss was, the better it was—it only made him, as a subordinate, look better. Watching the calm and collected Lin Feng, Huang Shi’s heart surged with excitement, and he also looked forward to the day he could be as powerful as Boss. Even though he knew it was impossible, Huang Shi couldn’t help but wish for it...

Catherine, witnessing this scene, turned to stone in an instant. She never dreamt that the seven cultivators she had hired with a large sum of money would all be killed by Lin Feng without even managing a single move. And what’s more, they were killed by those soft playing cards. This... this was simply unimaginable. How on earth did Lin Feng do it?

No matter how Catherine racked her brain, she could not fathom a reason. However, Catherine was certain of one thing: all her plans were now in ruins, and she absolutely would not be able to leave the gambling boat alive today. Under the terrifying power of Lin Feng’s playing cards, Catherine didn’t think she could leave alive.

At that thought, a shadow of gloom instantly crossed Catherine’s face. She now had no idea what to say. Regret filled her heart completely. She regretted not being able to resist the temptation of coming to Tianhai, not following Huang Yu’s advice to win over Huang Shi. By doing so, she wouldn’t have provoked a Super Powerhouse like Lin Feng, and none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

A myriad of regrets immediately flooded Catherine’s heart. She understood that she had brought all of this on herself. It was due to her greed that she had lost everything, even her life. As she looked at Lin Feng, her feelings were a tumultuous mix. She never imagined there was someone like Lin Feng in the world who possessed such terrifying wealth, incredible gambling skills, and even more astonishing combat skills. Even as an AA-level expert, she felt extremely insignificant in front of Lin Feng.

Suddenly, a thought emerged within Catherine’s heart. If God gave her another chance, she would stay far away from Tianhai and far away from the people of Huaxia. But Catherine knew that this was impossible. Reality was reality, immutable. Today, a certain death awaited her...

"Catherine, what do you have to say now?" Lin Feng said casually, brandishing the playing cards in his hand, gesturing for Catherine not to make any rash moves. At this point, there was no way Lin Feng was going to let Catherine go, but he still wanted to know why Catherine had come to Tianhai. Although he could force the information out of her, Lin Feng preferred not to exert the effort. It would be easiest if Catherine would just speak up herself. If Catherine cooperated, he wouldn’t mind giving her a quick death.

"We’re already at this point, what more can I say? I’ll transfer the money to you now. The victor is king, and the vanquished is nothing. Everything today is my own doing." Catherine said, a bitter smile spreading across her face at Lin Feng’s words. Mocking herself, she realized that as things had reached this stage, death was unavoidable. She had no chance of surviving, so why did she need the money? Since this was the case, why not just transfer the money to Lin Feng? So, she quickly agreed to transfer the funds.

However, in the back of her mind, Catherine had another idea. She wanted to find an opportunity to go all out against Lin Feng. If taking her money was what he wanted, then she’d see if Lin Feng had the luck to spend it. She was already facing death today, so if she could take Lin Feng’s life in exchange for her own, it would be worth it. Moreover, she still had a trump card up her sleeve—she indeed had a chance.

Without saying anything, Lin Feng simply tossed the Diamond Gold Card to Catherine, gesturing for her to transfer the funds. Despite Catherine’s convincing performance, she hadn’t realized that Lin Feng, who had been watching her closely, had seen through her intentions from her eyes.

Accepting the Diamond Gold Card from Lin Feng, Catherine did not hesitate. She walked over to a computer in the room, logged into the Swiss Bank website, and transferred all her money to Lin Feng’s account. Being a wealthy individual, all her funds were stored in the Swiss Bank, making the amount irrelevant. Glancing at her now empty account, Catherine’s face filled with boundless longing. More than two billion US dollars had disappeared just like that, and her life would end today as well...

Taking a moment to reflect internally, Catherine stood up again, holding the card, and walked towards Lin Feng, intending to return the card to him. Everything she did seemed so natural that no one suspected Catherine was capable of any action at this moment. But as Catherine closed within three meters of Lin Feng, the unexpected happened.

Suddenly, bursting with speed, Catherine recklessly charged towards Lin Feng. Being an AA-level expert, her speed was incredibly fast, especially with calculated intent. Within a second, she could cover the three-meter distance and reach Lin Feng. Then, the extremely poisonous needle hidden within her ring would launch and embed into Lin Feng’s body. Once hit by the "gambling god", Lin Feng would undoubtedly die.

This was the opportunity Catherine had been waiting for. The previous seven men clearly showed that it was impossible to get close to Lin Feng alive. However, if she staked her life, there was still a chance. As long as she managed to shoot the poisonous needle into Lin Feng in her dying moment, her goal would be achieved. The ring was equipped with a mechanism; a powerful spring could launch the needle into a wall from a meter away, let alone silently into the air—Lin Feng would find it impossible to dodge. This was Catherine’s final desperate tactic.

As for her own life, dying earlier or later was all the same—it was death either way. What mattered most was if she could kill Lin Feng, her life would have been worth something!

But though her plan was sound, reality played a cruel joke on her, turning everything she had planned into illusions. She never imagined that Lin Feng had already seen through her every thought. So how could Lin Feng possibly give Catherine such an opportunity?
