Chapter 189 - The Xin Family’s Treacherous Banquet (1/2)

Returning to a human colony from the killing fields, everything appeared tranquil—the metallic smell of blood that constantly lingered in one’s senses was nonexistent and so was violence that plagued the battlefield. For once, Qin Feng was able to catch a good night’s sleep without any disturbance.

On the second day, Qin Feng arrived at the orphanage.

The Qin Feng of today was completely different from what he was before.

He was an E-tier apt.i.tude user now!

His ident.i.ty reflected his social standing.

A pa.s.serby volunteering at the inst.i.tution was wide-eyed b.u.mping into Qin Feng.

“What’s today’s date? Why is such a significant figure coming to the orphanage!?”

Muttering to himself, he watched Qin Feng and Bai Li strut over to the director’s office.

And at that moment, a noise came from behind the office’s door.

“Director Lin! Why are you so persistent in doing things the hard way!? Do you really want me to go violent on you? You gotta be more careful when you are speaking to me! One twist and I’ll snap your bones in two! Old geezer, you can’t afford this injury y’know!?”

A slight anger could be heard in Lin Derong’s voice when he replied.

“Oh ho, I have old bones, yes. So what if you snap them in half?”

Qin Feng’s face contorted with anger.

Funneling internal strength into his feet, he arrived at the doorstep of the office within a few seconds.

Bang!

Without hesitation, he forcefully kicked open the door.

Sitting on Lin Derong’s chair was an arrogant man with his legs disrespectfully placed above his work desk.

The sudden loud noise startled the gangster but he continued ignoring it, thinking that it was just another one of the teachers at the orphanage. Perhaps he was just here to beg for mercy at the sight of Lin Derong being threatened.

It was nothing but an ant’s struggle, he a.s.sumed!

“Get the h.e.l.l out of here! Your voice holds no weight here!” That gangster’s voice boomed. It was an F-tier apt.i.tude user with all his abilities maxed-out.

Recognising Qin Feng’s silhouette, the anxious look on Lin Derong’s face turned into one of surprise.

The surprised look on his face surfaced as soon as his eyes met the E-tier apt.i.tude user’s badge proudly displayed on Qin Feng’s chest.

“Get the h.e.l.l out of here? Me? Too bad! It’s you who should p.i.s.s off!” Qin Feng roared back.

With large strides, Qin Feng approached the man.

It was then that the gangster realised that his intimidation had no effect on Qin Feng. Originally thinking that he was just another hot-headed teenager from the orphanage, in the next instant he was pulled back by an immense force.

Alongside the chair, the man was sent head over heels backward.

Fortunately, he had made some preparations of his own. Pressing down on the armrest of the chair, he launched himself into the air before doing a backflip and landing flawlessly in front of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng’s face was well-known across the city. Recognising that mug of his, the man called out in astonishment.

“Qin Feng!”

His brows furrowed.

Since the man recognised him, could it be that he was the cause of Lin Derong being on the receiving end of these threats?

The man scanned Qin Feng from head to toe, as if appraising a piece of antique. As soon as his eyes met the item on his chest, a jolt had visibly run through him.

E-tier!

Beads of cold sweat had appeared on the forehead of the once high and mighty man who threatened the director.

“What’s the matter? Have you gone mute? Where did the man from before go?” Qin Feng prodded with bloodl.u.s.t in his eyes.

If the enemy had any problems with him, they should just face him mano a mano instead of harming those around him like a bunch of cowards.

Whether it was Lin Derong or Zhou Hao, they were all men who had changed the trajectories of their lives through their own sheer effort. Qin Feng did not want to see anyone messing with these people because of him.

This was his way of rebelling against G.o.d.

Hearing Qin Feng’s words, the man broke out in cold sweat.

The arrogant words that once spewed out of his mouth spewed out no more.

With great difficulty, he swallowed a mouthful of water. “Ma-mayor Qin, I am here in the name of the Xin family. We wanted to invite you to a banquet celebrating our lord’s sixtieth birthday!”

Qin Feng sneered.

“You Xin people have a pretty unique way of inviting guests, don’t you?”

Lin Derong recovered his vigor. He already had plans to go down fighting—better to die on one’s feet than to live life on one’s knees! Who would have thought that Qin Feng would be here to give him a much needed surprise.
