"Can I leave now?" Feng Jincheng asked Lin Hao and Xiao Hei, suppressing his anger.
"You can. But tell him not to lay a hand on us again, or he'll regret it dearly!" Xiao Hei warned Feng Jincheng.
A sinister glint flickered in Feng Jincheng's eyes as he heard Xiao Hei's words. He then sneered inwardly.
He admitted that this Xiao Hei was indeed formidable.
But Zhao Ming was from the Zhao family, and the Zhao family...
Heh.
Feng Jincheng let out a cold laugh, and a plan began to form in his mind.
He looked up at Xiao Hei and Lin Hao, his expression calm. "Don't worry, I'll tell him when I get back."
"Then you may go."
Xiao Hei nodded, then, without any warning, kicked Feng Jincheng's arm.
With a "crack!"
Feng Jincheng didn't even have time to react.
His arm was broken by Xiao Hei's kick.
"Ah!"
Feng Jincheng let out a low roar, his previously calm face instantly contorted with rage.
But in the end, he managed to suppress it.
He took a deep breath, enduring the pain, cast one last look at Xiao Hei and Lin Hao, and then retreated.
After Feng Jincheng left, Xiao Hei turned to Lin Hao. "Senior Brother, should I go talk to that Young Master Zhao?"
"No need," Lin Hao waved his hand. "This person's strength tonight was not weak, yet you defeated him so thoroughly."
"As long as that Zhao Ming has some sense, he won't bother us again."
"That makes sense," Xiao Hei nodded.
"Are you hungry? If not, I'm going to go into seclusion," Lin Hao said with a smile to Xiao Hei.
"I am hungry, but I'm broke."
"I'm broke too."
"Senior Brother, you're too stingy! I risked my life tonight," Xiao Hei said indignantly to Lin Hao.
"Really? I don't believe you."
"Same old rule, rock-paper-scissors. Winner treats."
Xiao Hei looked at Lin Hao with a darkened expression, then went out to drive.
After all, since childhood, whenever he played rock-paper-scissors with Lin Hao, he always lost.
...
In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel.
Zhao Ming, with his white hair and bangs covering his eyes, looked at the limping Feng Jincheng, his face as dark as ever.
Feng Jincheng had just told him the entire story.
He truly hadn't expected that the Xiao Hei accompanying Lin Hao was so powerful.
He had even defeated Uncle Feng, his father's bodyguard.
Uncle Feng's martial arts skills were considered top-notch, even in the entire Modu.
Now, not only had Uncle Feng been defeated, but his limbs had also been broken!
Zhao Ming looked at Feng Jincheng, flicked his bangs, and gritted his teeth. "Uncle Feng, is that Xiao Hei really that formidable?"
Feng Jincheng nodded. "His martial arts realm is at least on par with mine, and it's very likely he has reached the Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength."
"Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength?"
Zhao Ming was startled, and his expression immediately turned grim.
He had only heard his father mention martial arts experts at the Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength, never having met one.
He hadn't expected that the martial arts realm of the Xiao Hei beside Lin Hao had already reached the Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength.
As Zhao Ming pondered these thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion.
Why would such a master be by Lin Hao's side, acting as his subordinate?
Uncle Feng, who was only at the Minor Accomplishment of Inner Strength, already held a status close to that of his father.
Let alone the Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength.
Such a master would likely command respect from his own father.
As Zhao Ming considered these matters, his confusion was replaced by a growing sense of difficulty.
A master at the Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength was far beyond his ability to handle.
Even his father was unwilling to provoke such a powerful expert.
However, should he just let this matter with Lin Hao go?
As Zhao Ming mulled over these thoughts, he looked at Feng Jincheng and asked, "Uncle Feng, did Lin Hao or that Xiao Hei say anything?"
Zhao Ming felt that if Lin Hao and Xiao Hei wanted to make peace, he wouldn't mind lowering himself to negotiate with them.
Of course, if he could recruit them, that would be even better.
If such a master at the Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength could be recruited, then the Zhao family's rise would be within reach!
"Yes, they did," Feng Jincheng replied to Zhao Ming.
"What did they say?" Zhao Ming looked at Feng Jincheng, becoming somewhat excited.
If Lin Hao and Xiao Hei wanted to make peace, he could go over there right now.
"They said..."
"What did they say? Hurry up and tell me," Zhao Ming grew more anxious as Feng Jincheng hesitated.
Feng Jincheng looked at Zhao Ming, as if making a great decision, and gritted his teeth. "They said... you are trash."
"What!?"
"They said you are trash, and that the Zhao family is also trash. They claimed they could destroy the Zhao family with a flick of their wrist."
"They said that you, your father, and all your family members should kowtow and beg them."
"Otherwise, they will ensure that not a single soul in the Zhao family is left alive!"
Zhao Ming's face grew increasingly grim as he listened to Feng Jincheng's words.
Finally, upon hearing that they would leave not a single soul alive in the Zhao family, he let out three bursts of laughter, half in disbelief and half in rage.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Well said, 'not a single soul left alive'!"
Zhao Ming looked at Feng Jincheng, his expression incredibly grim, and said, "Uncle Feng, I need you to do me a favor."
Feng Jincheng was startled, instinctively thinking that Zhao Ming wanted him to confront Lin Hao and Xiao Hei again.
But then he reconsidered and realized it was unlikely.
He regained his composure and looked at Zhao Ming. "Between us, there's no need for 'favors.' Just tell me what you need."
"As long as it's within my capabilities, I will do my utmost."
Zhao Ming nodded, then looked at Feng Jincheng. "Uncle Feng, I want you to take your men and arrest everyone who is connected to Lin Hao and that Xiao Hei."
"Arrest everyone connected to them?"
Feng Jincheng was shocked.
He hadn't expected Zhao Ming to ask him to do this.
While this task wasn't difficult, the consequences of carrying it out were something he couldn't bear.
He had witnessed the methods of Lin Hao and Xiao Hei firsthand tonight.
To be honest, if it weren't for his desire for revenge, he would have preferred to stay far away and never see Lin Hao and Xiao Hei again.
As Feng Jincheng wrestled with these thoughts, Zhao Ming nodded, his face sinister. "Yes, arrest everyone connected to them."
Zhao Ming sneered.
No matter how powerful Lin Hao and Xiao Hei were, so what?
He refused to believe that Lin Hao and Xiao Hei wouldn't yield once everyone connected to them was captured.
At that point, even a master at the Perfected Inner Strength would have to kneel and beg him!
