Chapter 569 - Raising The Price (2/2)

He was known to be twice as strong as the other ability user that was called up.

It did not take very long for the pillar to light up to about seventy centimeters before it stopped moving.

“What…” The ability user was embarrassed by this.

“Enough!” Hong Lie already looked very annoyed. He glanced over at the two gunners who responded by lowering their heads. There was no point, gunners were not as strong as ability users when it came to the consciousness department.

He glowered before walking toward the pillar, raising a hand to strike it with internal force

Then something shocking happened as the pillar flashed with light brighter than the glow that happened when the two ability users were interacting with it. The light condensed into a beam and shot out at Hong Lie.

This happened way too quickly. Everyone could feel that this beam was just as strong as the B-tier Hong Lie.

Color drained from Hong Lie’s face.

Boom!

Hong Lie instinctively activated his internal force shield to protect himself, but his defense was instantly broken through, shattering his shielding.

“Ah!” Hong Lie cried out, trying to activate his internal defenses again but the consciousness had already touched him. He suddenly felt very dizzy, his body refusing to respond properly as he was left mostly paralyzed.

‘Uh oh!’ Hong Lie thought.

“The president!”

“Quick! Protect the president!”

The people of the Red Sun Corp cried out. But it was too late!

All of a sudden, a wave of consciousness rushed through the air!

Qin Feng made his move!

When this burst of consciousness was released, it collided with the energy that was going after Hong Lie. The two energies connected before canceling each other out.

Hong Lie stumbled a few steps backward and almost fell to the ground.

Qin Feng smiled as he approached Hong Lie and said, “President Hong, even if you didn’t believe me you should have asked one of your men to test it. The crystal has the ability to reflect any damage it takes, back to the attacker, depending on whoever is hitting it!”

When Hong Lie was conscious enough he suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment and cursed in his mind, ‘This kid deliberately made a fool out of me! He didn’t say that before!’

He did not even stop to think that it was his fault for not asking.

By now, Qin Feng decided to not stay and said, “Looks like it’ll take awhile before you and your men will be able to break into the 6th level, President Hong. If so, then I won’t be staying, Fengli still has plenty of things that need my attention!”

Qin Feng was going to just up and leave!

Hong Lie’s eyes quickly shifted about and his face was unreadable. He was hesitating.

Soon, he made up his mind and put on a smile before loudly saying, “No, President Qin. Not so fast, I wouldn’t be bothering you for nothing. How about you and I work together to enter the 6th level?”

“Oh? I don’t know how the contents inside would be distributed.” Qin Feng said.

“Of course it will still be a 40-60 percent deal!” Hong Lie said.

Qin Feng shook his head, unimpressed by this deal. “I won’t be unreasonable, let’s make it 50-50!”

Hong Lie almost swore out loud. Not unreasonable? That was basically raising the price!
