Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 931: Li Zerui is Back!

"It’s useless, the nickname ’Venomous Snake’ isn’t for nothing. Since Chu Meng has already made her move, it means she has a well-thought-out plan and won’t give me any chance to turn the tables. Going to the stock market is pointless; I might as well give up now."

Hearing Young Master Wang’s words, Max Dorrell gave a wry smile, his heart filled with even more gloom. He truly wanted to help the Business Alliance resist Chu Meng’s attack, but under her dominating and unpredictable maneuvers, he had no chance of winning. Not to mention, the immense attack Chu Meng launched—if she wasn’t thoroughly prepared, how could she strike out of the blue? So, it was even more meaningless to go to the stock market, better to just enjoy the breeze here. Whatever was coming would still come; this time, they couldn’t avoid it.

"...Sigh..."

Young Master Wang was at a loss for words upon hearing Max Dorrell’s statement. He never imagined that Old Four, once so vibrant and spirited, would now become so despondent in front of Chu Meng, devoid of any fighting will at all. But Young Master Wang understood Old Four very well. He, too, knew Chu Meng and Cloud Fund very well, and certainly knew that what Old Four said was the plain truth. Everyone in the financial world knew what the ’Venomous Snake’ nickname entailed. Just like Old Four had said, now that Chu Meng had acted, she wouldn’t give anyone a chance because that was just how Chu Meng was.

Realizing these things, Young Master Wang couldn’t help but sigh. Now he couldn’t help but recall when they, as brothers, were celebrating their victory over Cloud Fund and making a fortune from it. At that time, none of them foresaw the events of today, nor did they expect that it was because Chu Meng survived that Old Four ended up in such a wretched state.

"Old Six, you should return home. My days are numbered since Chu Meng has already figured out the Business Alliance’s situation, which means Lin Feng knows it too. Lin Feng certainly won’t let me off the hook. If nothing unexpected happens, after Lin Feng’s grand wedding, it will also be the time of my demise. But if you return to your grandfather’s side, at least you will be safe. With your grandfather protecting you, no one can do anything to you."

As Max Dorrell looked down at the city below, he was filled with deep emotions. He truly didn’t want to die, but as of today, he no longer had a say in the matter. He thus opened his mouth to speak to Young Master Wang, wanting to prepare his younger brother for what was to come. His days were numbered, and he didn’t want his brother to also suffer and die here. It was better for him to return to Capital City, the safest place.

"Old Four..." When Young Master Wang heard Max Dorrell’s words, he was suddenly struck by the gravity of the situation, and instantly realized why Old Four was so desperate. As Old Four said, now that Lin Feng knew, it was impossible for Old Four to escape. The only outcome for Old Four would be...

Thinking of this, Young Master Wang choked up. He had no options left. The Ancestor of the Li Family had already been defeated by Lin Feng; even the Li Family had been wiped out by Lin Feng alone. No one in this world could stand against Lin Feng anymore. Under such circumstances, it was an incurable dead end, and there was nothing anyone could do!

Although he wouldn’t die with his grandfather’s protection, he truly couldn’t bear to let Old Four face this alone, to face death so hopelessly...

"Don’t go on, it’s all been decided, and no one can do anything about it. I’ve come to terms with it. Old Six, after we have a good drink later, you should leave. In the future, when you miss Old Four, you can visit my grave."

Max Dorrell spoke with a bitter smile. As he said, he had completely lost hope. He might as well make most of the last of his time to arrange all the final affairs; that was the only thing left for him to do. For now, he only wanted to have one last drink with his younger brother Young Master Wang. That was the thing he wanted most at the moment. After the drink, he would let his younger brother leave.

"Old... Four... we won’t go home unless we’re drunk!"

Young Master Wang’s eyes reddened when he heard Max Dorrell’s words. He never thought he’d see the day when it would all come to this. He had truly run out of things to say and could only respond to Old Four’s request with sobs, to have one good drink, the only thing he could do for Old Four now...

Hearing Young Master Wang’s words, Max Dorrell nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more. He would take one last look at the city as long as he could. He had grown up here and harbored an endless fondness for the city.

Young Master Wang also stayed silent, understanding Old Four’s mindset. All he could do was to keep Old Four company silently on the rooftop of the hundred-story building, letting the wind blow past them as they overlooked the entire city.

...

Time passed unknowably, when suddenly Max Dorrell’s and Young Master Wang’s phones rang at the same time, which greatly surprised them. The only people who knew their phone numbers were their family and brothers. After hearing the ringtone, they didn’t hesitate to answer because the ringtone was the agreed-upon video call signal among the brothers.

After they answered the call and saw the person in the video, they were completely stunned, because they never expected it to be a video conference call initiated by Boss, Li Zerui...

"Boss! How did you become like this!"

"Boss, why did you only appear now!"

"Boss, I’ve missed you to death!"

"Boss..."

...

The brothers of the Skyhawk Society had thought day and night about seeing the Boss, all wanting to know what had happened to him. However, they had never imagined that the Boss would suddenly call for a video conference, nor did they anticipate that the once extremely handsome Boss had changed to this extent. This left the five of them at a loss for words.

Li Zerui no longer looked the same; his black hair was gone, replaced by a full head of white hair. The complexion of the Boss had lost its former luster, turning ashen like that of a corpse. The warmth that once filled the Boss’s eyes was gone, replaced by a piercing chill that made them feel deeply sorrowful, unable to comprehend why the Boss had transformed into his current state...

If not for the familiar contours of his face, they wouldn’t have recognized the person in the video as their once proud and dashing leader. Unable to contain themselves, they began expressing their thoughts, eager to know what had happened to the Boss.

"I’m back. When and where is Lin Feng getting married?" Li Zerui said coldly, his voice devoid of emotion and husky, replacing the originally sexy and magnetic tone. Anyone who heard it would feel a bone-chilling cold. The only thought in his mind was to seek revenge against Lin Feng—not just for himself, but to avenge the wrongs suffered by the thousands in the Li Family. Only Lin Feng’s blood could wash away their hatred.

The thought of Lin Feng ignited Li Zerui’s rage. It was all because of Lin Feng that the Li Family marched toward ruin; and it was all because of Lin Feng that he had transformed into this inhuman, ghostly figure. It was also this burning desire for revenge against Lin Feng that had carried him down a path unfathomable to ordinary people, through endless agony, to this moment of retribution. That’s why Li Zerui’s first question upon his return was about Lin Feng’s whereabouts—he was set on vengeance.

"Boss, you’ve finally returned. The exact date of Lin Feng’s wedding hasn’t been set, but I’ll tell you as soon as I hear anything. However, Boss, Lin Feng is now so powerful that no one can stand against him. You..."

Max Dorrell, gazing at the Boss through the video call, felt a pang of sadness. All because of Lin Feng, his Boss was reduced to this state, to the point of almost being unrecognizable. It showed just how deep the Boss’s hatred for Lin Feng had become. The Boss appeared, intent on seeking revenge; but Lin Feng had become nearly invincible. Max Dorrell couldn’t help worrying; he didn’t want to see the Boss fall to Lin Feng’s hands as well.

"Boss, it’s so good you’re back. Do you know, Boss? Lin Feng has pushed us to a dire state, not only driving me out of the Capital City but now Old Four’s entire Business Alliance is on the brink of collapse, and Lin Feng might even come for Old Four. Boss, you must decide for us..."

Young Master Wang, seeing Li Zerui in the video, was immediately taken aback. Unlike Max Dorrell, he understood the Boss. The Boss had been enduring in silence for so long, and it was unclear why he had become this way, which meant the Boss must be confident in confronting Lin Feng. Otherwise, he wouldn’t speak like this. After all, the Boss alone shouldered the vengeance for thousands in the Li Family. He wouldn’t recklessly say such things. Since the Boss had made the brothers anxious, it indicated he must have the means to eliminate Lin Feng, or else the Boss would never say so.

"Boss, please be cautious..."

"Boss, where are you now?"

"Boss, we miss you so much..."

The other three brothers, sharing their sentiments, truly wanted to help the Boss and Old Four, but they were powerless. The domains of the Boss and Old Four were their weakness, and with Lin Feng’s current might, even if they wanted to take action, their families would not permit it. They felt helpless, their hearts filled with unease like Max Dorrell, fearing for the Boss because Lin Feng’s power was overwhelming, spoken of as the foremost in the world.

With the Boss seeking revenge under such circumstances, the inherent dangers were immense, and they knew well enough without having to think. Moreover, they were still unaware of the extent of the Boss’s capabilities. How could they not worry? Seeing Li Zerui’s condition in the video pained them, each speculating what the Boss must have endured to have changed so drastically. Yet they didn’t want any misfortune to befall him, for then they would lose their Boss as well...
