Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 283 - 271: Turning the Corner to Find Love... No, It’s Chu Feng! The Persistent Ghost, Sensing Something Amiss!

Chapter 283: Chapter 271: Turning the Corner to Find Love... No, It’s Chu Feng! The Persistent Ghost, Sensing Something Amiss!

Su Li’s heart skipped a beat!

He knew that at this moment his life hung by a thread!

But his reaction was extremely quick, and he immediately turned his head in feigned confusion, looking at Manager Zhang, "Ah? What do you mean...?"

Seeing the clear, unknowing eyes of Su Li, Manager Zhang finally laughed genuinely, "It’s nothing. You may go back now. Remember to coordinate with the construction team tomorrow!"

"Uh, sure, goodbye Manager Zhang!"

Confused, Su Li nodded his head and continued towards the upper floors.

As soon as Su Li had left, Manager Zhang immediately walked out of the stairwell, ghostlike, appearing near the counter to snoop through the items on the desk.

Seeing Su Li’s usual water cup still on the desk, Manager Zhang nodded in satisfaction.

This kid should be fine, acting just like he always does!

...

Meanwhile, after leaving the stairwell, Su Li greeted the receptionist on the first floor with a cheery hello and took the elevator up to the top level. He then entered the break room reserved for Martial Arts Field staff.

The moment he closed the door, his body broke out into a profuse sweat, instantly drenching his entire body!

At the same time, his legs gave way, and he leaned against the wall behind him, slowly sliding to the floor, his face filled with relief of having survived a close call.

He had made it through alive!

Just now, facing the hotel manager, had he shown even the slightest flaw, he probably would be dead without a corpse to find by now!

’Thank goodness I reacted quickly, or else my parents would be spending the rest of their lives in a nursing home, bullied by caretakers!’

He slowly got up and, with aching steps, walked to his locker, tossing his work clothes inside carelessly, then turned to leave.

’This place is a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den, I wouldn’t stay here even if I was beaten to death!’

He pulled the door open with force but found himself face-to-face with Chu Feng, who had just returned from buying snacks and beer.

"..."

As their eyes met, Chu Feng was momentarily startled, then quickly recognized the person in front of him, smiling, "Yo, aren’t you the Martial Arts Field staff, Su Li, right?

"Off work? How about coming over to my place to have a couple of drinks?"

Having just brought down a house with one punch at the Martial Arts Field, even though it resulted in compensating tens of thousands of Ocean, it didn’t dampen the joy of mastering Ultimate Skills.

As soon as he left the Martial Arts Field, Chu Feng went out and bought some beer and snacks from a convenience store, planning to treat himself.

These days, he was extremely tired from running about and penetrating enemy lines, even the ’King of Rollers’ was struggling to keep up.

At this moment, Su Li wished he could be millions of miles away from Chu Feng and naturally wouldn’t accept the invitation, quickly responding with a smile, "No, thank you, Mr. Chu. I’m off to go home from work now, I won’t disturb you. Have a good time!"

Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders in disappointment, "Alright, it’s getting quite dark, the roads might not be very safe. Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"Uh, no need, thank you!"

Chu Feng’s casual show of concern warmed Su Li’s heart.

He realized that Chu Feng might not be the kind of spoiled scion of Noble Families he had imagined, here only to gild his martial talents and Realm nurtured from birth.

What kind of young master would go buy his own beer and snacks, and bestow kindness on such a small-time person?

Feeling a sudden impulse, he opened his mouth and softly called out, "Mr. Chu..."

"Hmm? What’s up?" Chu Feng turned back at the door entrance and looked at Su Li.

In his impulsive moment, Su Li was about to share with Chu Feng the news about Manager Zhang wanting him dead, but just then...

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Manager Zhang who had somehow appeared at the end of the hallway, peeking around the corner at them.

At that instant, Su Li became rigid, and all the hairs on his body stood on end again!

Damn!

This goddamn Manager Zhang just won’t go away!

This bastard is definitely here to keep an eye on me; otherwise, I wouldn’t see him everywhere I go!

I never realized before how suspicious this old geezer was!

"..."

He hesitated for a moment, recalling what he would do in this situation like lightning, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately said with a smile:

"I saw you testing out a very powerful Martial Technique in the Martial Arts Field just now. Are you planning to go to the battlefield to have a look?

"Do you need me to serve as your guide? Of course, it’s not free, but the price is reasonable, you are a valued guest of the hotel, so I will give you a discount of 20 percent off the market price!

"You can rest assured, it will definitely be worth your money. I’m very familiar with the Far East Defense Line. If there’s anything you need, just come to me!"

He felt smug inside, thinking look how quick I reacted!

The usual me would have already jumped at the sight of money. Encountering a big spender like Chu Feng, there was no way I wouldn’t try to earn something from it!

"..."

The distance between Chu Feng and Su Li was less than two meters. The moment Su Li’s body tensed up, Chu Feng sensed that something was off.

It felt like a small animal that puffs up its fur when it feels threatened.

As Su Li changed the subject, Chu Feng, with his sharp senses, also felt something amiss—

When Su Li stopped him, there was hesitation in his tone, but as soon as he started talking about being a guide and the fees, the hesitation disappeared, and he became eloquent and talkative.

This must be a guy who often hustles for work on the side, with probably a very thick skin, or he wouldn’t have the nerve to snag private jobs within the hotel.

—So why did he hesitate at the beginning? With his personality, he shouldn’t hesitate!

He’s being cautious, even afraid of something?

Shortly after, Chu Feng’s peripheral vision suddenly caught a shadow peeking from around the corner at the other end of the hallway.

His spirits lifted, and he immediately linked Su Li’s inconsistent behavior to the shadow.

’Su Li felt threatened. Is the shadow threatening him? Who is this shadow? Why is it threatening him?’

’When he called me just now, he wanted to tell me something, but the shadow there influenced him! After feeling threatened, he immediately switched topics!’

’There’s a problem with this shadow!’

Once he had pinpointed the issue, he laughed and took out his communication device, saying, "Alright, let’s exchange contact information. I’ll reach out when I need you and don’t forget to give me a good price then!"

"Of course, you can count on me!"

Su Li pulled out his communication device, but he thought coldly, ’The old dog is making his move...’

Sure enough, the next second, a commanding voice shouted, "Su Li! What are you doing!"

Su Li’s face turned pale instantly, his hand gripping the communication device tightly as he saw Manager Zhang stride over from around the corner of the hallway, his face full of dignity and anger.

"Haven’t I warned you not to harass the hotel guests, or else you’re fired from this place!"

He snatched the communication device from Su Li’s hand and seemed to casually pocket it.

Although Su Li had mentally prepared himself, his face showed panic and pleading: "Manager Zhang, I was wrong, please don’t fire me!

"My mother is sick, and my old father lost his job; I need this income to support my family!"

"Not firing you so you can continue harassing our guests? Today I must let you go. Pack up your things and leave!" Manager Zhang rebuked angrily.

"..."
