Chapter 203: Zheng Yang Releases His Shares

“Mayor Lin had, unfortunately, teamed up with the black organization and was a threat to the safety of this colony. During our confrontation, he fled like a coward to avoid facing the consequences of his actions and thus, I struck him down.” Qin Feng said calmly.

Although he had expected such an outcome, Zheng Yang still felt a sense of dismay upon hearing Qin Feng’s words.

After all, it was only thirty minutes ago that he caught wind of Qin Feng’s clash with Lin Zheng at the Eagle Clubhouse.

It did not cross his mind that Lin Zheng would meet his demise in just half an hour’s time.

The chaos he had expected was nowhere to be found. And to think that he predicted that their fight would last till sunset. Qin Feng having walked out alive, let alone a mere thirty minutes after the fight had started, and emerging victorious, was completely left out of the initial equation.

And to think that an E-tier apt.i.tude user would die so easily, like a match burning out, without even a sound.

It was only at this moment that Zheng Yang finally realised how terrifying Qin Feng was.

At the same time, there were thousands of question marks floating around in Zheng Yang’s mind.

“That’s right! Lin Zheng has committed too many sins to be let off so easily. Here on my side too, I have received a great deal of information about that crook. That man! If he were to be allowed to go on living, he would become an existential threat to our colony! You have done well, Mayor Qin!”

Zheng Yang had unconsciously changed the way he referred to Qin Feng after the whole incident.

Before this, his actions would only be ruled by emotions, which he severely lacked control over. He only thought that Qin Feng was just another lucky punk who had bluffed his way up the system.

And now, all those doubtful thoughts had completely faded away!

“I was merely executing my duty!” Qin Feng took credit without showing the slightest hint of embarra.s.sment.

Protecting the colony was not on Qin Feng’s mind when he went into battle. No, it was only the people closest to him, people who he loved that he wanted to protect.

“Don’t be so courteous, Mayor Zheng!” Qin Feng replied.

The sound of people shuffling about could be heard on Zheng Yang’s end, reflecting how busy his side currently was.

While Lin Zheng’s death did not affect those on the bottom of the totem pole at his colony, the same could not be said for their higher-ups. The entire upper echelon was, in short, under a ma.s.sive reshuffling process.

“Mayor Qin, I’ll deal with the situation here. You don’t need to worry about things on this end. Though, about your reward for this round…” Zheng Yang hesitated on whether or not he should continue, which he did but in a hushed voice. “With Lin Zheng down, the movement of rewards will inevitably become an extremely c.u.mbersome task. How about I exchange this time’s reward with Fengli colony shares that I have bought? Of course, that alone will not suffice to compensate for what you have done. For that, I’ll reimburse you with Chengbei colony’s Commercial Street, how ’bout that?”

To discuss such matters over the communicator was rather outrageous!

Hearing Zheng Yang’s proposition, Qin Feng’s brows knitted. Still, the corners of his mouth were curled upward.

Zheng Yang was a clever man.

Too clever perhaps.

He was, in essence, b.u.t.tering Qin Feng up.

Zheng Yang’s investment in Fengli colony was worth at least a billion yuan. And he let this go so effortlessly.

Lin Zheng indeed possessed a ma.s.sive amount of funds but it would take a while before anyone could lay their hands on the money.

With that in mind, to hand over Fengli colony’s shares to Qin Feng at this specific moment was an extremely generous act.

Zheng Yang knew that since Fengli colony was under Qin Feng’s control, the man would undoubtedly hope to consolidate his power over the territory in a monopolizing fas.h.i.+on.

Moreover, fearing that Qin Feng would misunderstand that Zheng Yang was barring him out of Chengbei’s matters, he gladly offered a handful of commercial streets as a gift—an extravagant one at that.

“Well then, It’ll only be disrespectful of me to turn down such a generous offer!” Qin Feng responded.

Mayor Zheng burst out laughing. “You have my grat.i.tude, Mayor Qin.”

“You’re welcome!”

The two showered each other with compliments. As Zheng Yang still needed to tend to urgent matters, it was not too long before their conversation came to an abrupt end.

Qin Feng smiled.

From now on, Fengli colony would be his and his alone!

“Bai Li! Pack up your clothes. We’ll be moving out tomorrow!”
