Chapter 969: I’ll Deal with Him
"If things really get to that point," Lin Feng thought, "even if the Boss kills me, there’s no way he and the others will make it out alive. In the face of the national machinery, no expert, no matter how formidable, can escape death, let alone them. As for him and Fourth Brother, they’re just ordinary people—it’s even more impossible for them to survive."
At this thought, Young Master Wang’s heart was thrown into complete turmoil. Outwardly, he showed nothing, but his heart began to race uncontrollably because he knew what he was imagining could very well happen. Just from the first clash between the Boss and the Old Monster, a terrifying scene had already unfolded. If the Boss really fought Lin Feng, it would undoubtedly shake the heavens and the earth, and no one could predict what would happen next...
What Wang had never dreamed of was that his concerns were exactly what Li Zerui was thinking about below. Li Zerui had already been driven to fury by Lin Feng; in his heart, there was only slaughter, nothing else. If Young Master Wang knew this, he probably would be so scared at this moment that he wouldn’t be able to hold himself together, considering just how terrifying the origins of these influential figures were. Not to mention anything else, if Leng Hui met with an accident here, the consequences would be so severe that not even his grandfather could save him.
"Fourth Brother, what do you think the situation will be like down there?"
Young Master Wang suppressed the panic within him and struck up a conversation with his Fourth Brother, Max Dorrell. He wanted to know how Fourth Brother would estimate the situation below; that was what he was most eager to find out. Among the brothers, in terms of intelligence, Fourth Brother was the smartest—it was only Fourth Brother who could roughly predict what would happen next.
"Old Six, no one knows what will happen below. I’m in the dark too. But right now, we have to believe that the Boss will kill Lin Feng because aside from that, we have no other way out. Don’t you think?" Max Dorrell replied to Young Master Wang, his voice calm. Through the binoculars, he had already seen that the Boss and Lin Feng were about to engage in combat, which tensed Max Dorrell’s heart as well. Like Young Master Wang, even though they both knew the Boss was incredibly powerful now—to the point that even the Old Monster was no match for him—they still didn’t have much confidence in their hearts about the Boss going head-to-head with Lin Feng. Early on, Max Dorrell had come to understand from the information received that Lin Feng’s strength had reached unimaginable levels.
However, now Max Dorrell knew something even more: this battle between the Boss and Lin Feng would directly determine their fate. If the Boss defeated Lin Feng, their lives as brothers would be spared. If the Boss lost, including the Boss himself, they probably would all die. By now, Lin Feng had completely uncovered the affair of the Business Alliance. Max Dorrell understood why Lin Feng hadn’t acted yet—it was because Lin Feng was preparing for his wedding. After the wedding, there would be no possibility of him sparing them.
So now, all they could do was firmly believe the Boss could defeat Lin Feng. There was no other way to face Lin Feng—hope had to be pinned on the Boss to kill Lin Feng, for the consequences of failing to do so were too clear even without thinking.
"Boss, I believe the Boss can defeat Lin Feng too. If the Boss wins, naturally, we’ll be happy, but... but what should we do if the Boss loses?"
Young Master Wang hesitated before voicing the worries deep inside him. For some reason, he felt a tremendous unease today, a feeling that made him jittery as if a disaster was about to strike. If he didn’t express his concerns, he felt as if he would explode from the pressure. The feeling was incredibly distressing for Young Master Wang.
But as soon as he spoke, he also realized something—if the Boss lost, Lin Feng would definitely not spare them. Once Lin Feng’s wedding was over, he would undoubtedly strike at them. There was no question about it. Wasn’t asking this question pointless? If Fourth Brother truly had a way, they wouldn’t be pushed to such extremes by Lin Feng, having to place all their hopes in the Boss.
With that realization, Young Master Wang figured out everything. In his heart, he began to pray nonstop, praying that the Boss would definitely defeat Lin Feng, that Lin Feng would be killed because only with Lin Feng dead could they be safe...
"Old Six, if the Boss loses, then they are surely doomed. If we can’t live, how can we possibly let Lin Feng live? Then I’ll destroy everything, let everything here serve as Lin Feng’s funeral accompaniment," Max Dorrell said with a sinister laugh, his sanity nearly gone. He had already made some preparations—how could he not prepare for the worst? When the time came, let everyone here serve as accompaniment to Lin Feng. After today, if Lin Feng didn’t die, they would all perish. So, it might as well happen today: let Lin Feng die, let everyone here die—a broken pot, a disappearing net; this principle was understood by everyone.
Max Dorrell had made his final preparations in his heart. If things truly reached an irreversible point, he would indeed execute the plan he had previously devised. After all, if death was inevitable, it would be just as well for everyone to die together. Having so many important figures accompany him in death would be enough.
It was perfectly normal for Max Dorrell to have such thoughts. Anyone in Max Dorrell’s position would be filled with despair. When people are desperate, they are capable of anything. Max Dorrell was in precisely this state now—a last act of madness before death. He knew what the outcome would be—just kill Lin Feng and even if they had to die, they could do so with their eyes closed. As for other people and other matters, there was no need to concern himself with them. This was Max Dorrell’s true intent.
"Four... Brother Four..."
Young Master Wang was momentarily stunned when he heard Max Dorrell’s words, but seeing Brother Four’s ferocious expression, he suddenly felt a sense of fear. He knew what kind of person Brother Four was; such statements from him meant that Brother Four really did have some kind of contingency plan in place. However, Young Master Wang couldn’t fathom what method Brother Four would resort to. If even the Boss couldn’t defeat Lin Feng, what possible means could there be to kill Lin Feng? It seemed utterly impossible, at least in his mind.
As he looked at Max Dorrell, Young Master Wang felt even more panicked for some reason. He suddenly experienced a sense of fear, feeling certain that Brother Four wasn’t joking at all. When he thought about Brother Four saying that everyone here should die, Young Master Wang was completely dumbfounded. If everyone here died, that... that would probably lead to world chaos...
But at this moment, Young Master Wang understood Brother Four’s intent all too well—it was decisiveness. In fact, as Brother Four had said, if the Boss lost, they wouldn’t be able to survive anyway. Thus, he could very well comprehend Max Dorrell’s viewpoint. Yet, deep inside, Young Master Wang really didn’t want everyone here to die. That would undoubtedly involve his own family, something he was desperate to avoid. But as things stood now, even if he wanted to do something, he was powerless, which filled Young Master Wang with a sense of helplessness.
With this in mind, Young Master Wang decided not to think anymore. He glanced at his nearly crazed Brother Four and could only shake his head in resignation, praying that the Boss would kill Lin Feng. He truly didn’t want to witness the scene Brother Four had described. Then he picked up the binoculars and continued to observe below...
...
Old Monster could tell that Li Zerui was about to make a move. He immediately thought of joining the fight. He hadn’t suffered any serious injuries just now, only been repelled by Li Zerui. Although he knew he was no match for Li Zerui in terms of pure strength, a real fight was about more than just that—it involved numerous battle tactics and moves. With his experience and skill, Old Monster was still confident he could take on Li Zerui. Moreover, it was Lin Feng’s wedding—how could he possibly let Lin Feng fight? It was his duty to step in.
But just as Old Monster was about to step forward to face Li Zerui, he was stopped by Lin Feng’s hand.
"Elder, I’ll take care of him. Please help keep an eye on things here," Lin Feng said calmly. At that point, how could he possibly let Old Monster fight? Not to mention Old Monster had already sustained some minor injuries from blocking Li Zerui earlier, but also because Li Zerui had come specifically for him today; he couldn’t possibly let Old Monster fight.
Lin Feng wasn’t worried about facing Li Zerui at all. Li Zerui’s current state posed no threat to him. The only troublesome issue would be if he killed Li Zerui—nothing more. But Lin Feng was even more aware that a battle between experts like them would undoubtedly have an earth-shattering impact.
To avoid any potential problems, Lin Feng still asked Old Monster to ensure that the guests were protected and not to let them get involved, as no one could control the outcome once a real fight broke out. With Old Monster there to oversee things, Lin Feng could fight Li Zerui without any worries about the guests.
"Okay, we’ll take care of this place. Don’t worry," Old Monster said to Lin Feng, nodding his head. He indicated that Lin Feng need not worry about things here—with these experts present, the guests would definitely not be impacted. All Lin Feng had to do was to defeat Li Zerui.
Having entrusted everyone with their tasks, Lin Feng was completely relieved. He walked step by step towards Li Zerui, who was his target for the day, and who in turn was targeting him. What’s more, Lin Feng had long since harbored an intent to kill Li Zerui. At this moment, Lin Feng’s aura had changed—there were no outward signs, but everyone present could feel an oppressive atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe. They all understood that Lin Feng was about to have a formal showdown with Li Zerui...
