Chapter 669: Chapter 491: More Debts, Less Pressure

Receiving the call from his grandfather, Zhan Tianyu wasn’t surprised; he could guess his grandfather’s purpose, which was something he had actively facilitated, yet he felt a bit worried in his heart.

He detected an anxious emotion in his grandfather’s tone.

Something that could make his grandfather anxious must be extremely tricky and dangerous.

Could it be that war is about to break out?

Other than that, Zhan Tianyu couldn’t think of another reason.

But what could this have to do with Lin Feng’s team?

Zhan Tianyu’s thoughts wandered, his expression growing increasingly grave.

"What’s wrong?"

Yang Ningbing questioned curiously from the side.

It was half-past eight at the time, and she was planning to have breakfast with Zhan Tianyu.

Although they had only slept for over five hours, two to three hours of sleep was enough for them.

"What did your grandfather say?"

Seeing Zhan Tianyu remain silent, Yang Ningbing continued to ask.

Having grown up together with Zhan Tianyu, they were childhood sweethearts, and in the alliance, they had the closest relationship.

The Avengers Alliance had only sixteen members. Due to the nature of their contracts, they maintained good relations, but there were still degrees of closeness, which naturally divided them into three small groups.

Among the three groups, Red Cloud University formed one group and was the largest force within the alliance.

Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi were another group; though fewer in number, they were ranked second in strength.

Due to their similar age and background, she, Zhan Tianyu, and Huang Tianze counted as a group, being the weakest in strength.

"My grandfather wants to see us and is already on his way, but I feel there was something off in his tone."

Zhan Tianyu snapped back to his senses and explained.

"It seems Grandpa Zhan is ready to ’make his move’ on us."

Yang Ningbing said, with a hint of regret in her tone.

If possible, she naturally hoped the Yang Race would ’make their move’ on them, but that was clearly not possible.

She had tested Lin Feng’s thoughts to see if there was a chance to mend their relationship, but as soon as she started to speak, Lin Feng’s cold gaze stopped her short.

She rationally gave up.

Knowing Lin Feng’s true strength, and having once lost control and nearly killed her, deep inside, she harbored a fear of Lin Feng.

She no longer harbored any hopes for Lin Feng’s return to the Yang Race but merely prayed that Lin Feng wouldn’t have conflicts with the Yang Race.

The Zhan Race ’making their move,’ in her view, was the best choice.

If supported by the Zhan Race’s financial power, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to them.

And this deal would not be a loss for the Zhan Race; it wouldn’t be long before they would reap substantial profits.

"Why think about it so much? There’s nothing Grandpa Zhan can’t handle, you’ll know when they arrive."

Seeing Zhan Tianyu frowning slightly, Yang Ningbing comforted him.

Zhan Tianyu nodded.

"I’ll go to the hotel entrance to pick up my grandfather; you go inform Lin Feng and the others."

"Mm, go ahead." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

...

Upon learning that Zhan Tianyu’s grandfather, the clan leader of the Zhan Race, was about to arrive, Lin Feng gathered all the members.

He could somewhat guess the other party’s purpose.

Although the popularity poll had just concluded, in just one night, several forces had already reached out to him through various means.

Some forces were seeking business cooperation, but more were explicitly expressing their desire to foster them.

To this, Lin Feng directly refused.

He wasn’t interested in small sums of money; they weren’t enough to purchase a good Soul Skill, and there weren’t many forces capable of training them.

They needed to quickly become Kings, and if a force was willing to support them, it would undoubtedly be a win-win situation.

The Zhan Race was undoubtedly a good choice. With Zhan Tianyu as a link, it was unquestionably the safest.

Ten minutes later.

Lin Feng met Zhan Tian’en, a legendary figure in the business world he had long heard of.

This was a prominent figure frequently seen on television.

The Zhan Race’s ability to become one of the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, and the wealthiest among them, undoubtedly owed much to Zhan Tian’en.

"Elder Zhan, I’ve heard so much about you."

Lin Feng said politely.

"Haha, I should be the one saying that; your battle achievements have put me to shame."

Although his strength and status were above Lin Feng’s, Zhan Tian’en didn’t put on airs; instead, he was very courteous, smiling as he reached out his hand to Lin Feng.

He had probed some things through Zhan Tianyu, and although he had already given it enough attention, only upon truly encountering Lin Feng’s team did he realize he had underestimated them.

Inconceivably, as a King, he actually felt a sense of threat from Lin Feng.

"Is it intentionally displayed?"

Zhan Tian’en pondered to himself.

It wasn’t just Lin Feng; the others also exuded a fierce presence, not to be underestimated.

He felt that if it really came down to it, he would be soundly defeated by Lin Feng’s team, with little ability to resist.

In a certain sense, auras could also represent strength.

At this moment, Zhan Tian’en became more determined in his inner thoughts.

The two shook hands, and to verify his thoughts, Zhan Tian’en didn’t let go, increasing his grip strength, starting from five-tenths, then six-tenths, and even at seven-tenths there was no reaction; it wasn’t until eight-tenths that Lin Feng’s right hand slightly trembled.

"Indeed, it lives up to its reputation."

Zhan Tian’en smiled and released his hand.

He didn’t continue to probe further.

Being able to withstand eighty percent of his strength is enough, this has already surpassed an ordinary Lingyun Realm.

"You flatter me."

Lin Feng also responded with a smile.

The other members of the team just chuckled as they watched the two spar.

If Lin Feng were to unleash his full power, his true strength would not be much weaker than Zhan Tian’en.

"Hello everyone."

After shaking hands with Lin Feng, Zhan Tian’en also greeted the others but did not chat much.

"It’s our first meeting, as an elder, I give you a meeting gift."

Zhan Tian’en said, gently stroking the white jade ring on the index finger of his left hand with his right hand. As the light flickered, twelve Demon-Sealing Soul Artifacts appeared on the ground, along with dozens of bottles of Pills, nine Spirit Soldiers, and some nourishing Spirit Medicines.

"Wow!"

He Jun’s eyes widened slightly, unable to suppress a gasp of surprise.

The Space Ring alone was enough to astonish anyone, it was a treasure worth over a hundred billion!

And this meeting gift was equally astonishing.

With current market prices, just these twelve Demon Spirits are worth over ten billion, adding in the Pills, it should surpass twenty billion, and these resources are hard to buy even if you have money.

This meeting gift is exaggeratedly excessive.

Although she knew the Zhan Race was wealthy, she did not expect them to be this rich.

Are all great clans this extravagant?

"Water Spirit Sparrow."

Little Sister Dong looked at one of the Demon-Sealing Soul Skills with slight sparkle in her eyes, a Ninth Tier Demon Spirit, and one that contains a Diamond-tier Soul Skill, its Soul Skill perfectly suited for her Sea Demoness, clearly prepared specifically for her.

Not only Little Sister Dong, but the others, including Ye Xing, were also taken aback.

This gesture was more than just a simple meeting gift.

Where is there such an extravagant meeting gift!

"Elder Zhan, these things are too precious."

This meeting gift also left Lin Feng somewhat stunned.

"Don’t worry too much, there’s no Divine Level Demon Spirits or Divine Artifacts, just consider it my gratitude for taking care of Tianyu."

Zhan Tian’en said indifferently.

"It’s still too valuable, and besides, we didn’t really take care of Tianyu in any significant way."

Lin Feng said.

"These things are selected especially for you, don’t be too polite, what an elder grants, one must not refuse."

After exchanging pleasantries for several rounds, Lin Feng accepted it.

"Then, thank you, Elder Zhan, the future will certainly bring rewards." Lin Feng expressed gratitude and made a promise.

Zhan Tian’en smiled and said, "If you are willing, I can fully cultivate you to become Kings?"

"Fully?"

"With the full power of the entire clan, at all costs."

Zhan Tian’en said seriously.

Upon these words, everyone’s heartbeats quickened, they looked at each other, eyes filled with disbelief.

Even Lin Feng and his team were shocked, let alone Zhan Tianyu.

Aside from the shock, there was more unrest.

Something must have happened indeed.

If nothing had happened, how could Grandpa possibly make such a decision?

"What price do we need to pay?"

Lin Feng asked, suppressing the joy in his heart.

"Because of Hong Tao..."

Zhan Tian’en didn’t beat around the bush or conceal anything, directly stating the reason.

He was already prepared to see Lin Feng’s team panic and fear, even if they directly refused, it wouldn’t surprise him, as it involved opposing an Extraordinary Powerhouse!

But what he didn’t expect was Lin Feng’s team being unusually calm.

"Okay."

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng nodded and agreed.

Zhan Tian’en’s mouth opened slightly, he even felt he hadn’t explained it clearly, otherwise, why would Lin Feng agree so readily.

That’s opposing an Extraordinary Powerhouse!

How come they seem not surprised at all, not panicking at all.

Are young people nowadays all so confident?

Even with exceptional talent, it shouldn’t be like this, right?

Zhan Entai looked at Zhan Tianyu, seeking answers from him.

But it only made him more confused.

Zhan Tianyu gave him a slight wry smile.

No fear either!

But what’s the meaning of the wry smile?

"Grandpa, don’t worry."

Zhan Tianyu reassured, but didn’t explain the reason.

If it were opposing other Extraordinary Powerhouses, they might have some reservations, but if it’s Hong Tao, then there’s nothing to worry about.

Because of Hong Yi, nine times out of ten, they would clash with Hong Tao in the future.

Since that’s the case, naturally having more debts doesn’t worry them!

When they all become Kings, what can the Extraordinary Powerhouses do?
