Chapter 108: One Terrifying Step! (1/2)

Qing Xin’s restaurant was suddenly invaded by a heavy silence.

Everybody was staring at the young woman’s cheek. Lin Feng’s hand had left a big red mark on her cheek. One could even see each of his individual finger marks on her face.

Nobody would have thought that Lin Feng would actually slap such a beauty. He had slapped without the least bit of hesitation and with a good amount of force.

He hadn’t only humiliated the young woman by doing this. He had also made Qing Xin lose face.

The crowd was blankly staring at the young woman. She slowly raised her hand and then touched her cheek. She had the feeling that her cheek was on fire.

Her family name was Duan. She was a member of the Imperial Clan. Nobody had ever dared slap her and at that moment, Lin Feng had slapped her. She had totally lost face.

She looked so furious that her face had turned grotesque.

“You shouldn’t have done that.” said Qing Xin breaking the heavy silent that had invaded the restaurant. She was still looking elegant and graceful. It seemed like she never lost her temper.

“What you mean is that I should have let her humiliate everybody without doing anything?” said Lin Feng while staring at Qing Xin. He sounded just as calm as her but that was Lin Feng’s temperament. He was actually boiling with fury inside.

“Even if she attacks you and humiliates you, you cannot fight back. Besides, it hadn’t even gone that far yet.” replied Qing Xin.

“Well, sorry for having disappointed you.” said Lin Feng coldly and ironically. Lin Feng thought that Qing Xin was a fake. She looked graceful, elegant, pure and innocent on the outside but she was actually arrogant and unfair. Lin Feng didn’t like her at all.

“The problem is not about me being disappointed or not… it is actually close to what you said earlier, there are some things you cannot do unless you are ready to bear the responsibility for it and pay the price.”

“You are wrong.” said Lin Feng while shaking his head and then added: “Not only are you wrong but you are also extremely stupid. In the eyes of people like you, you think ordinary people like me are worthless. You can humiliate, bully and attack us while we are not allowed to strike back. Even if we don’t do or say anything, the situation is always the same, you bully us ordinary people. Attacking or not attacking, it’s all the same since the consequences are the same. The consequences are not that serious anyway. What should I have done then anyway? Escape after having been humiliated?”

“Could it be that…? Do you really think that you will be able to leave without paying the price for what you have done? The consequences, unlike what you’re saying, will be serious.”

“I know that there is a price to pay for such actions but I will not be the one to pay the price, I can guarantee that.” Lin Feng glanced at the young woman when he said that he wouldn’t be the one paying the price. He was talking extremely calmly which surprised everybody.

What Lin Feng meant was clear to everybody. If she kept provoking him, the young girl should first think about her own safety and escaping this place alive!

Even Qing Xin was surprised and was blankly staring at Lin Feng. Was he really only a sixteen year old boy? He was so cold, so mature…

“Are you threatening me!?” said the young woman who had understood what Lin Feng meant. The mark left by Lin Feng’s hand on her cheek still hadn’t disappeared.

“Oh, you are not as stupid as I thought… you understood that I was threatening you. Congratulations!” said Lin Feng sarcastically.

Lin Feng thought that the young woman was pathetic. She was walking around and acting like a warlord. She was probably doing that everywhere. Lin Feng thought that relying on the social status of one’s family was stupid if one wasn’t strong enough to protect their own life. If one met a madman, one would be in a critical situation regardless of social status. Not everyone was able to brave death, most people would rather cling to life which is why she had not been punished before. For some people though, dignity and honor were more important than life.

“Maybe when you know who she is, you will not be as calm and serene as now.” said Qing Xin. She wanted to scare Lin Feng. She wasn’t used to seeing such young people remain so calm and have so much self-control.

“Tell me.”

“Her family name is Duan.” said Qing Xin while fixedly staring at Lin Feng. She had the impression that Lin Feng was going to react even a little and give himself away.

At the same time, the young woman was staring at Lin Feng was well. She hoped that Lin Feng would be terrified and would kneel down.

Unfortunately for them, they were going to be disappointed again. Lin Feng’s expression eventually didn’t change and he still looked as cold and detached as before.

“A member of the Imperial Clan?” Lin Feng didn’t look scared at all. Instead, he had a big smile on his face. He then said: “I also have a friend whose family name is Duan. He’s sitting there at our table. Even though he is a member of the Imperial Clan, he is much more modest and amiable than her. He doesn’t take advantage of his power to bully other people. He has not weak so he doesn’t need to manifest authority to feel superior. He knows that acting that way would just be a humiliation for the Duan Clan.”

The young woman’s face suddenly changed. She had tried to humiliate Lin Feng again and in the end, she had been humiliated yet again.

Qing Xin was also puzzled. She looked at the people sitting at Lin Feng’s table. One person drew her attention. It was Meng Qing. Meng Qing was wearing a fine veil on her face so Qing Xin believed even more that Meng Qing was the member of the Duan Clan. Her posture and other small things made Meng Qing look very elegant and noble.

There was an aura of nobility which emerged out of Meng Qing which really made her look like a member of the Duan Clan. Qing Xin seemed less confident after having looked at Meng Qing.

Suddenly, Qing Xin turned around and looked at the second floor. On the second floor, there was a small room. She was the only one who could go there.

But at that moment, it seemed like there were people in that room.

“We have never seen them.”

It was a simple sentence but it made everyone feel frightened.
