Chapter 501: Feng Wuhen’s Warning! (1/2)

“Your strength has grown again!” Calming down, Feng Wuhen commented with a somewhat meaningful sigh. At the same time, he instinctively inched back on his seat. If Bai Xiaofei hugged him again, his life might just conclude here.

“Eh… Yeah, that really seems to be the case.” Bai Xiaofei scratched his head with a silly smile. Looking at him now, no one would be able to connect him to his legendary ruthless and greedy image outside.

“You are a work of art. Obviously an Illusion Stream puppet master, but now you want to be more of a fighter than a martial artist…” Feng Wuhen exclaimed from the bottom of his heart as his gaze on Bai Xiaofei grew even stranger.

Bai Xiaofei was used to this kind of gaze. Feng Wuhen and Lu Lingyun often looked at him like this.

“Let’s talk about me later. Brother Feng, how is going at your side?” Bai Xiaofei was excited when he said this. He wanted to sit closer to Feng Wuhen, but after a second thought, he chose the opposite seat. It wouldn’t be good if he sat too close and affected the guy’s thoughts.

“Going smooth, I suppose. Now we have control of a total of 17 small businesses, and we have been very busy. However, the batch from Starnet just two days ago solved the biggest problem of manpower shortage, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to come back.” Feng Wuhen’s expression relaxed at this. This kind of free time squeezed out from a busy schedule was always the most enjoyable.

“What about Brother Lu? Why didn’t he come back with you? I was thinking of holding the two of you a party!” Bai Xiaofei’s brow creased and there was pity in his expression.

“It’s still early to celebrate. After all, it’s just the first step of the plan. We’ve only stabilized the situation, and those 17 businesses have only just been revived from their half-dead state.” Feng Wuhen paused and an odd smile appeared on his face. “As for why only I came back, you can only blame Old Lu for his bad luck. We need someone to watch over that side, so the two of us made a small bet…” Here, Feng Wuhen chuckled evilly and his tone was smug.

“Then, what did you come back this time for? It is impossible that it’s just to report such a simple situation. Could it be that we don’t have enough money?” guessed Bai Xiaofei worriedly. He hadn’t done anything to make money recently. There was nothing he could do if they were really short of money.

“How is that even possible? It’s been quite some time already. If we can’t even keep our capital, we might as well give up on creating the tenth largest merchant group.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei’s anxious heart settled. As long as you don’t ask for money…

“I returned this time is actually because of you!” Feng Wuhen suddenly grew serious.

Bai Xiaofei also became serious. Anything that made Feng Wuhen show this expression was definitely not simple!

“Did you offend someone?” Feng Wuhen asked, stunning Bai Xiaofei.

I’ve offended too many people. I can’t single anyone out when you ask me like that!

“Why? Is someone looking for me?” Bai Xiaofei frowned and his expression became ruthless. This kind of issue must be eliminated in its infancy, otherwise, there would be endless future troubles if it is allowed to develop!

“Not only that. We accidentally got wind that someone is investigating you vigorously. According to experience, the next step would be putting a bounty on your head. This kind of bounty list is different from the Starnet Ranking. It is really endless until the target dies!”

Feng Wuhen didn’t seem to be joking at all, and this was indeed worth a trip back.

“Big Bro, where did you get this news?” Without enough clues, Bai Xiaofei couldn’t come up with anything.

“Someone used their merchant group connections to find me and asked about your situation. I tricked them and learned of this.”

Hearing the phrase ‘merchant group,’ two names instantly ran through Bai Xiaofei’s thoughts.

Unify Business and Globe Merchant Group!

However, he quickly dismissed the former. The grudge between him and Wu Xizhao hadn’t been established for long, and he doubted that Unify Business would really go to such lengths for a brainless young master. Even if they did, it wouldn’t reach Feng Wuhen’s ears so quickly.

So, there was only one answer, one with good reasons at that – the Globe Merchant Group!

Ah, they refuse to stop, huh?

“If someone outside wants my head, then that can only be the Globe Merchant Group.” After determining the target, Bai Xiaofei’s mind was set at ease. Although the enemy was in the shadows and he was out in the open, he didn’t need to be passive after knowing who the other party was.

“The Globe Merchant Group? How did you provoke them?” asked Feng Wuhen in surprise as he frowned.

Recounting everything to Feng Wuhen that had happened in Ancient Yue, Bai Xiaofei then heaved a long sigh.
