Chapter 863 Furious
Chapter 863 Furious
The sky had just lightened when Ling Feng got out of bed and left the room.
Miao Lanlan, a newlywed wife, was still deep in sleep, completely unaware of his departure.
Once outside, Ling Feng let out a sigh, reflecting inwardly, "This dual cultivation technique is amazing; it’s even more effective than the training I did with Zhou Yi!"
After entering the room last night, the two of them were immediately entangled with each other, and, well, certain indescribable things happened.
Afterwards, Ling Feng also experienced the power of the cultivation technique Long Xiaoyu had taught Miao Lanlan.
Looking back, Ling Feng still found it somewhat unbelievable.
He had no idea who could have invented such a technique—the movements were so embarrassing even he, a grown man, could hardly bear them, not to mention Miao Lanlan.
So most of last night was spent in exploration and attempts, the joys of which naturally couldn’t be shared with outsiders.
Anxious about the day’s big event, Ling Feng had gotten up early and then went to Zhang He’s room.
The three of them were already up and packing their gear.
"Today we have only one mission, we must get that Yuan gemstone, and you can leave the rest to us!"
Seeing Ling Feng, Zhang He spoke while continuing his busy preparations.
"No problem, if it comes to it, I’ll just snatch it and stuff it into the Space Bracelet!" Ling Feng nodded in agreement.
"Last night, several clashes in Guo City caused significant losses for all involved—fortunate for us!"
Zhang He chuckled, then his expression turned serious, "But those were covert conflicts; on the surface, no one has shown their hand yet, so it’s very likely we’ll encounter their remaining forces today. When the time comes, we’ll act accordingly!"
"Got it!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Once the stone is in hand, will you guys be withdrawing then?"
"Exactly!" Zhang He nodded.
"What’s the rush to go back?" Ling Feng pressed.
"It’s not that the higher-ups are in a hurry; mainly, I haven’t seen my wife in three days, I miss her!" Zhang He explained.
Ling Feng: "..."
"We’ll talk about the trip to the Russians’ later; I’ll make arrangements for you!" Zhang He added.
Ling Feng nodded, "Then I can rest easy. Whether you’re going back to the country or somewhere else, I don’t mind!"
"Damn, I knew you were thinking something else!"
Zhang He glared at him but couldn’t help asking, "By the way, if you manage to get that warship back, could you let me have a look at it?"
"Sure, I’ll definitely satisfy your curiosity!"
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment but still agreed with a nod.
...
...
At nine in the morning, the last day of the gemstone gambling event began.
Upon arriving at the entrance to the venue, Ling Feng noticed that there were not many visitors, even fewer than that previous afternoon session.
Once inside, he saw that the number of gemstones laid out on the grass had significantly diminished, and they appeared to be reduced by more than half.
Ling Feng was at a loss for words, wondering if those gemstones had all been sold out the previous afternoon in his absence or what.
That’s when Li Fei’er spotted the big screen in the stadium, pointed at it with her little hand, and shouted, "Uncle, look!"
Turning his head to see, Ling Feng noticed three photos on the screen, all of jadeite recently extracted from the raw stones.
The first two looked somewhat familiar to him, and he turned to look at Feng Ling, "Those two weren’t the ones I uncovered, were they?"
"Exactly, those are the rankings for this Gemstone Gambling Competition, and you’ve secured the first and second places!" Feng Ling said with a smile.
Ling Feng uttered an "oh," and shrugged his shoulders, "Not very interesting, meeting the Princess is the first prize, and I couldn’t care less about the second prize money!"
Feng Ling smiled without saying a word, but Li Fei’er was full of curiosity, "Uncle, what princess are you talking about?"
"It’s one of the rewards for the Gemstone Gambling Competition, anyone who uncovers the best and most precious emerald of the entire event gets to meet the princess of Mianluo Country!" Feng Ling explained.
"Wow! Then I want to go too!" Li Fei’er’s eyes widened, "I’ve never seen a real princess before!"
Ling Feng looked at her, "I didn’t plan on meeting her either, and besides, you’re already a little princess in my eyes!"
Li Fei’er blushed, then pouted, "No, Uncle, go ahead, I want to see what a princess looks like!"
"Don’t worry, the Gemstone Gambling Competition isn’t over yet, maybe someone will surpass me today?" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Li Fei’er was first taken aback, then she put her hands on her hips, "Uncle, do you really not want to meet the Princess that much?"
"Of course not!"
Ling Feng paused for a moment, and then laughed, "It’s just that my schedule is really packed, I simply don’t have any free time!"
"Hmph!"
Li Fei’er still felt he was fobbing her off, but she couldn’t do anything about it, after all what Ling Feng said was true, there were still many things to be busy with.
After wandering around aimlessly, Ling Feng had already scanned the whole venue with his Divine Sense, but the raw stones on display didn’t have anything special. The large emeralds were nowhere to be seen.
The wait was for the appearance of that ultimate gemstone. Du Hao had gone to inquire with the organizers about the matter, but no call had come in yet; it seemed the progress was not smooth.
Just then, Ling Feng caught someone striding towards him out the corner of his eye, looking quite angry and moving fast!
Turning around, he saw it was Sato and immediately narrowed his eyes.
They say seeing an enemy is seeing red, and right now Sato’s eyes were bright red, as if he’d contracted conjunctivitis, looking quite frightening.
Striding up angrily, he stared into Ling Feng’s eyes and asked, "Did you kill my men?"
"What men of yours?" Ling Feng was taken aback.
"Don’t play dumb, one of my Shadow Group squads went missing last night, it must have been you!" Sato said furiously.
Ling Feng looked at him, "Do you have any proof?"
"They were going to find you, then lost contact by midnight, dare you say it wasn’t you?" Sato said angrily.
Ling Feng laughed, and looked at him seriously, "They were going to find me? What for?"
"...."
A single question had silenced Sato; he glared with wide eyes, full of anger with no outlet, his face turning purple from holding it in!
Ling Feng looked around, feeling somewhat puzzled he asked, "By the way, where’s Li Huai? Isn’t he working for you? I don’t see him anywhere?"
"You think I would tell you anything valuable?"
Sato glared fiercely at Ling Feng and turned to leave.
Ling Feng called out to him, "Don’t rush, have you wiped out the rest of the Holy Light Society and several other intelligence organizations as well?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
Sato’s body trembled, and he said without looking back.
Ling Feng sneered coldly, seeing his reaction, although not as dejected and furious as expected, it was still satisfying.
At this moment, the stadium’s loudspeaker suddenly broadcasted a voice, announcing something to the whole venue. After listening, Feng Ling immediately said to Ling Feng, "The ultimate gemstone has appeared!"
