111 I’ve Never Tolerated A Threat Made by Anyone (1/2)
Feng Lin was already surrounded.
Abandoned cars and metal accessories piled up all around the Flying Cars Junkyard, making the paths as messy and complex as a maze.
The four silhouettes stood at each direction, surrounding him into a space without any chance of escape.
In the dark, the glint of an aggressive gaze sized Feng Lin up, so sharp that it felt as though it was about to pierce through his body. It didn't bother keeping it a secret.
The atmosphere grew eerie and dark.
This was a desolate land where it would be hard to create any sort of commotion no matter what happened.
Feng Lin kept a straight face, although he couldn't help the hint of a sneer from lifting at the corner of his lips.
To have arranged an appointment at such a location, it seemed Luke didn't bear any good intentions.
What a coincidence!
That's what I thought too!
It suits me perfectly to meet at such an isolated place!
In this case, it wouldn't stir too much attention no matter what I do nor would it cause any unnecessary trouble.
Hehehe…
Ba-dum, ba-dum!
The four silhouettes approached in haste; they were four people who looked different from one another.
”Leader, is this Feng Lin you spoke about? He's just a little brat!” With a low, muffled voice, a three-meter-tall figure stepped out of the shadow first and revealed himself. He was an enormous man all dressed in combat armor. He stared down at the seemingly scrawny Feng Lin from his height and let slip a cunning smile. ”Even so, this rascal has quite the guts. He dares to meet with the Iron Blood Unit all by himself! Should I call him ignorant, or… ignorant?”
”Don't be careless, Insolent Tiger! His strength and toughness of his body aren't inferior to you!” A familiar voice sounded from behind the huge man as Luke stepped out in his usual outfit—the Mars traditional robe.
”Him?!” The huge man broke into maniacal laughter in disapproval. His eyes widened, looking like a ferocious tiger with its sights on the prey, about to swallow Feng Lin whole.
Feng Lin's gaze remained indifferent; he wouldn't bother about these people. He looked toward the other two silhouettes.
One was a man with a striking sniper ray rifle on his back. His eyes were narrow and long, as sharp as a hawk. Another was a seductive lady with an alluring body. She was dressed in body-fitting shorts and crop top with a slender waist. It was extremely attractive. Her exposed skin was decorated with the unique tattoo worn by people from Mars, giving her a sexy, unruly aura.
While the four of them looked vastly different, there was an exception; they all possessed a ferocious and threatening aura. This was the pressure caused by high vitality stats.
Any normal person would have cowered before the four of them.
Yet, to the Feng Lin now, it wasn't any different from being brushed by a light breeze.
It was without a doubt that these people were interstellar cultivators with vitality of more than 10.
Feng Lin's heart wavered for a split second, recalling that Luke was a team leader of one of the battle units in the Mars Revolutionary Army. He made a connection to what the huge man had said earlier… Could it be that these people were his teammates?
Then why wasn't the Snakeboy here?
Was it because they were afraid that an apprentice would hold them back? Was that why only these four genetic cultivators have arrived?
...
The corner of Feng Lin's lips curled into a scornful smile.
Such attitude. As expected, they came with ill intentions!
”Feng Lin, you're truly a believer! You really came. Tell us the secret of Giant Pharmaceutical Company! We, the Mars Revolutionary Army, can take you in as a member!” Luke smiled.
”Take me in as a member?” Feng Lin squinted, revealing a dangerous aura as he shot a question back. ”Hm? This was not what we discussed earlier. Shouldn't you arrange for my departure from Mars once I tell you the secret?”
”No, no, no!” Using their strength in numbers to his advantage, Luke gained confidence, smiling as he continued, ”Feng Lin, I did say that I'll arrange for your departure, but I didn't say when. In fact, we really do need your talent and need you to be undercover at the Giant Pharmaceutical Company to gather information from within! As long as you help us destroy the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, we will send you back to Earth at once and will even compensate you generously!”
He proposed an outrageous request to Feng Lin, requesting the latter to risk his life to be a mole for them in the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.
The unit of four turned their mocking gaze toward him; if their lack of fear toward his refusal was an indication of anything, then it must be that they felt as though they possessed information which they could use against Feng Lin.
”You're going back on your words!” Feng Lin's eyes narrowed.
Luke donned a trace of satisfaction behind his smile. ”No! Feng Lin, you can only blame it on your overwhelming talent. It's as the saying goes, the most capable people do the most work, right?”
Feng Lin snickered. ”Do you take me as a fool? If you divulge that I was the one who leaked the information, wouldn't I be seeking my own demise by going back to the Giant Pharmaceutical Company?”
Luke laughed as he got the impression that Feng Lin was compromising. ”Don't worry! Since we want you to give us insider information, we will definitely keep this secret for you! Apart from the four of us, no one else knows of this secret! That Snakeboy is too reckless, so I didn't even tell him!”
Feng Lin actually laughed at his words and mumbled to himself, ”I'm relieved, then!”
”That's good!” Luke nodded with a smile.
Yet, without a word, Feng Lin approached him, his eyes cold as ice. His entire demeanor was like a knife being slowly unsheathed, revealing a chilling sharpness.
”What are you doing?” Luke thought something was amiss as he felt a sense of foreboding. ”Careful!”
Feng Lin moved in that instant before the sound of his warning faded away. With the activation of 45.8 vitality stat, his power was like an arrow from a bow, rushing forth like a bolt of lightning.
Luke roared in anger, ”Feng Lin, aren't you afraid that we'll take revenge and divulge your secret?”
Feng Lin laughed heartily. ”I've never tolerated a threat made by anyone in my life!”
He raised up both of his arms and gathered his strength before swinging them down abruptly. Like a deluge, his arms paddled through the air and like a God brandishing his whip, it smashed everything in its sight into dust.
His heart was long since filled with murderous intent. From the moment Luke threatened him, the guy was already a dead man.
