Chapter 839: Yue Family?
"Kid, just let your girlfriend hand over the bag to me, and I’ll consider this matter never happened," the man sneered. "Otherwise, bear the consequences. You dare to speak to us like this without even inquiring who we are."
Yue Yanli furrowed her brows when she heard Lin Feng’s words, thinking to herself, "Who is this brash kid that dares to address them in such a manner? He really has a death wish." As the eldest daughter of the Yue Family in Australia, she had never encountered someone so insolent to speak to her like that. People in Australia knew the Yue Family well; just hearing the name Yue would make them tremble, for the family possessed such strength.
Generally, upon encountering such situations, people would scamper off at the sight of their numerous bodyguards. Yet, the boy and the two beauties before her were excessively bold, ignoring them entirely which infuriated Yue Yanli. She was even contemplating ordering her bodyguards to cripple the trio on the spot but then thought better of it. Although she wasn’t afraid of stirring trouble, it was unnecessary to resort to violence in such a public setting, unless they provoked them further outside.
However, Yue Yanli, eyeing Shen Yao and Chu Meng behind Lin Feng, was overwhelmed with jealousy, already plotting in her mind. If a confrontation ensued later, she would ensure these two women were captured and disfigured; cursing under her breath, "Just because they are pretty, they think they can secure a wealthy patron. This territory is governed by the Yue Family, who do they think they are..."
The nearby bodyguards encircled Lin Feng and the two women, ready to act should things escalate. They were baffled, wondering who these audacious individuals were, looking not like ordinary folk; who were they to challenge the Yue Family?
Instead, their gaze lingered on Shen Yao and Chu Meng, stunned by the women’s beauty as they looked up; they’d never seen such attractive women in Australia. "Who exactly is this young man," they wondered, "to have such enchanting women by his side? Is his background truly extraordinary?"
"Hand over the bag? That’s just not happening. Seeing how arrogant you all are, does your family hold some incredible influence?" Lin Feng, blocked by the group and listening to their conversation, was at a loss for words. His speech suffused with mockery, he mused, "Just as I suspected, this group relies on their family’s power to bully others, yet they’ve never met real opposition. And now they insist on taking the bag? How very interesting!"
At this point, Lin Feng eyed the pair before him, curious about their identity and their audacity. "Could they be from the Nangong Clan, or perhaps some Australian tycoons?" he pondered. "But that can’t be, as I’ve heard of no such arrogant figures in Australia. So, who could they be?"
It wasn’t that Lin Feng was scared, but rather that considering how haughty these two were, it would be easy to discipline them; however, one must always be aware of who stands behind them. If possible, he intended to eliminate the source of their arrogance.
"Listen carefully, kid. We are from the Yue Family, a Cultivation Prominent Family, and I am the son-in-law of the Yue Family, named Wang Qi," the man declared arrogantly, "This is my wife, Yue Yanli, the eldest daughter of the Yue Family. So, scared now? Let me tell you, these bodyguards of mine are all top-notch experts; you stand no chance of escaping. Be smart and beg for mercy, hand over the bag peacefully, or else don’t blame us for being rude."
Hearing Lin Feng’s response only fueled Wang Qi’s anger further. "This kid really dares to force my hand, forcing me to spell out our power; he’s truly asking for trouble," he thought angrily. Expressing their power made sense at this moment; it would undoubtedly intimidate the boy into submission, leading him to hand over the bag and appease his wife, thus settling matters. As for the young trio’s fate, that would be up to his wife’s mood later.
In Wang Qi’s opinion, the Yue Family’s reputation in Australia was at its zenith, and there was not a single prestigious family in Australia that did not know of the Yue Family; even if they had several more guts, they would absolutely not dare to provoke the Yue Family. They should know that Yue’s father was an S-level master, and in front of such a master, firearms were useless. This was deterrence; and, under the aura of Yue’s father, they had grown accustomed to others looking up to them. Surely, these three youngsters would immediately hand over the bag obediently upon hearing this.
Yue Yanli glanced at Wang Qi and, without saying anything, was very satisfied with Wang Qi’s words. The Yue family needed to be imposing. Since the people opposite wanted to know the details of the Yue Family, then let them know—it didn’t matter. After knowing, still, even if they had several guts, they would absolutely not dare to provoke the Yue Family. Her dad was an S-level master, a god-like figure. In the past, as soon as people heard she was the eldest daughter of the Yue Family, they almost immediately wanted to kneel before her, and these three young people could not escape such a fate.
Yue Yanli turned her head toward Lin Feng, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself that these young people were just young and arrogant. Now, they must be regretting it, thinking that had they known this would be the result, they should have compliantly handed over the bag earlier—then there would be no problem. "Young people," she mused, "truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. As if they could provoke the Yue Family!"
However, what Wang Qi and Yue Yanli had not expected was that their thoughts were good, but it was beyond their wildest dreams that Lin Feng would simply not play along with them.
"The Yue Family? A Cultivation Family? Never heard of it. We are just here for tourism. I only know that I have money, and once I have bought something, it becomes mine, that’s all," Lin Feng shook his head after hearing the two of them, clearly expressing that he truly did not know there was a Cultivation Family called the Yue Family. What was peculiar to Lin Feng was that, on Australia’s side, wasn’t there only the Nangong Family that was a Cultivation Family? When did the Yue Family pop up?
However, in Lin Feng’s view, none of this was an issue. Although he did not know what the Yue Family really was, what did it matter? To Lin Feng, there was not a single bit of threat, and now he also understood why these two were so arrogant—it was indeed like this; cultivators were esteemed in this secular world. But for a Cultivation Family to always act like this, then the Yue Family’s days might just be numbered.
Thinking this, Lin Feng deliberately mentioned his wealth just to see what kind of performance these two clowns would put on next. He now viewed Wang Qi and Yue Yanli as mere clowns, like watching a ridiculous farce.
"Lin Feng, since when did such a Yue Family appear? Really strange," Shen Yao, ever so astute, clearly understood what Lin Feng meant. Lin Feng was obviously trying to toy with these two, for otherwise, given Lin Feng’s personality, it was utterly impossible for him to be spouting so much nonsense. And in Shen Yao’s view, these two were indeed rather laughable, merely some Cultivation Family yet strutting around so arrogantly—did they really think they were some big shots?
Speaking of Lin Feng, even the Shen Family would absolutely not be something these two could afford to provoke. Cultivators, aren’t they? With a single phone call she could hire many cultivators, even many Assassin Organizations. She really wondered how these two treasures managed to grow up—could their luck have been too good, never having a setback?
Thinking this, a smile appeared on Shen Yao’s lips as she went along with Lin Feng’s words, also wanting to see what sort of moves these two treasures would pull. As for safety issues, Shen Yao did not consider them for a moment. With Lin Feng here, she and her senior apprentice sister would definitely not suffer the slightest injury.
"Junior Apprentice Brother, today is really unlucky, bumping into people from a Cultivation Family, Senior Apprentice Sister I am so scared," Chu Meng also couldn’t help speaking up. What Shen Yao and Lin Feng had said clearly showed they wanted to play tricks on these two clueless fools, and how could she miss out on such an event? They had stirred her to displeasure, and now was the perfect time to join in with her junior apprentice brother and Shen Yao to play along, also to watch the fun.
Considering this, Chu Meng purposely said so. Although superficially it seemed she was scared, anyone could clearly hear that her words were ironic—she really did not regard these people any higher than a speck of dust.
A Cultivation Family, what a joke. Her junior apprentice brother had already explained these things to them; in the entire Cultivation World there were only four great Cultivation Families. Lin Feng had come to help the second greatest among them, the Nangong Family. What then, was this Yue Family before them, thinking they could play the fool?
