Chapter 726: Making Friends
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Ying was dumbfounded at that very moment. He retreated in fear, but quickly found himself cornered against the wall.
“Why are you all still standing there?” he yelled. “I paid you to capture him, to deal with him. And yet you all just stand here doing nothing?”
Liu Ying could only shout for help, desperately seeking assistance from the gang members present. What he didn’t know was that these members had long been won over by Luo Feng.
Even if they all teamed up, they wouldn’t last two moves against Luo Feng. The reason Luo Feng had spared them was simply to let Liu Ying taste true despair.
“You’re just going to stand there, huh? Don’t think I won’t report you to your gang leader. Remember, he took my money! If you take money and don’t do the job, your whole gang’s reputation will be ruined!”
Regardless of how Liu Ying shouted, the others remained indifferent. Even after he lost his voice from yelling, Liu Ying finally accepted the reality – these people were not coming to his aid.
His life was now entirely in Luo Feng’s hands. If Luo Feng wanted him alive, he would live; if Luo Feng wanted him dead, he would die.
For a moment, Liu Ying felt a profound sadness. He had spent so much money supporting so many people, and now, when trouble came, not one of them proved useful. He even paid for the gang’s help, only for them to betray him.
In his mounting frustration, Liu Ying tried to grasp the situation. If he didn’t plead with Luo Feng now, he feared his life would truly be over.
“Sir, there must be some misunderstanding between us,” Liu Ying began. “We’ve only known each other for a short time. How did things escalate to this life-or-death situation?”
Liu Ying couldn’t understand. He had only met Luo Feng yesterday, and now they were at each other’s throats. If there was some profound grudge between them, that would be one thing, but they had no prior relationship. In fact, he didn’t even know Luo Feng’s identity until now.
To make matters worse, he still didn’t know Luo Feng’s name.
“You really have a short memory,” Luo Feng responded coldly. “If you can’t recall our issues, would you like me to remind you of what happened yesterday?”
Liu Ying was truly at a loss.
Indeed, they had a conflict yesterday. But in Liu Ying’s mind, it was just a minor scuffle. Yet Luo Feng’s current actions were far more severe.
“Sir, did someone pay you to take revenge on me? Whatever they paid, I’ll double it, okay? If you’re short on money, I can even triple it. I have plenty. I truly want to be friends with you. Let’s not continue this animosity.” Liu Ying begged for mercy, but Luo Feng didn’t need money.
“To be honest, I’m not really short on cash,” Luo Feng began. “However, if you truly want to befriend me… I have a hobby of collecting antiques. If you have some unique items, perhaps we can indeed become friends.”
The implication was clear: offer something of value. Liu Ying, not a fool, understood the hint. Although he cursed Luo Feng internally, he remained polite and offered to show Luo Feng his warehouse.
Luo Feng followed Liu Ying to the warehouse, which coincidentally was the location Luo Feng had identified previously. They entered together. freewebn(o)vel.com
“Look at this,” Liu Ying gestured toward a samurai sword. “This was acquired from the Land of Cherry Blossoms many years ago. Just by its quality, you can see its worth.”
Liu Ying continued, “This is a samurai sword from the warring states period in that land. The design and its preservation alone make it unique. If auctioned, it could start at at least 20 million!”
However, Luo Feng shook his head dismissively. “The so-called warring states period in the Land of Cherry Blossoms was just a village skirmish, wasn’t it? It might be old, but it doesn’t have much collector’s value.”
Seeing Luo Feng’s disinterest, Liu Ying quickly led him to another artifact.
“Sir, this crown is from the Elizabethan royal lineage. It was lost to the public three centuries ago. I found it during my trip to England 50 years back. Although its preservation is mediocre, its historical value is immense. If you agree, I’ll give you both this crown and the samurai sword!”
Liu Ying’s generosity was evident, offering two valuable items without hesitation..
