Mu Feng said with a sneer, "If apologies were useful, what need would there be for strength?"
"And your words cannot quell the anger in my heart."
"Director Niu is not dead yet, and the secretary you sent is by his side. They are eager to see you, and they want you to join them."
"I came today to see if you could give me more important news."
"If you have no more important news for me, then I will fulfill their wish and take you to accompany them."
Hearing this, Liu Qiang suddenly stood up.
His gaze was filled with vigilance.
"Mu Feng, I've already told you enough. If I go back and tell our Liu family that it wasn't you who killed our family's spokesperson,"
"But that he brought his demise upon himself by provoking someone he shouldn't have, and the clues have yet to be found, then the trouble won't fall on you."
"But if my entire Liu family sets its sights on you, do you know what terrible consequences you will face?"
"The Gu masters within our family alone can make all your friends and relatives live in fear and nightmares. Don't think I'm being excessive."
"We who specialize in raising Gu worms absolutely have that capability."
Mu Feng said with a half-smile, "Are you threatening me?"
"That's right, I am threatening you."
Liu Qiang said without hesitation, "Our true strength does not lie in individuals, but in the entire family. We all live for the family."
"The family's interests are above all else. For the family, we can sacrifice our lives without hesitation."
"This is why our families have been passed down to this day."
"After all, if one doesn't look out for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them. I have witnessed your strength. Just your aura makes my heart pound. I am certainly not your match, so I will report your strength truthfully to our family. It was merely the death of an insignificant minor figure."
"I believe the family will not pursue this matter further."
"For a trivial figure, the family will not offend a strong person like you. We might even have opportunities for cooperation."
"Cooperating with us can double your financial resources in a short period."
"We both benefit from cooperation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Feng poured a cup of wine directly onto him.
The wine splashed onto Liu Qiang's face, feeling like an immense force crashing down.
He was sent flying backward with no ability to resist, landing directly on the ground, feeling as if his facial bones were about to break.
The intense pain made his head buzz, and his vision went black.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
How much strength did it take to imbue water with one's power, to the point where a simple attack almost rendered him incapable of resisting?
Mu Feng said with a smile, "Don't give me any useless talk. I'm giving you only one path now."
"Either you reveal the true information, or you wish you were dead and go to accompany Director Niu?"
"The path is laid out for you. Choose yourself."
Liu Qiang felt an immense pressure like Mount Tai pressing down on him.
His body, which had just stood up, began to tremble uncontrollably. His knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground.
His heart was in turmoil.
"What kind of strength is this? Why can mere oppressive aura make me kneel?"
Mu Feng smiled faintly, "You are not worthy of knowing."
"My mood is temporarily good, but I don't have that much patience. Don't try to challenge my bottom line."
"You cannot bear the consequences."
"Even if your entire Liu family is no match for me, it's just that you rats in the sewer hide too deeply, making it difficult to root you out."
Those who play with Gu worms do not want to reveal their true identities.
This is because their greatest strength lies in their Gu worms, which can harm people invisibly.
Once truly exposed to the light of day, their strength among martial artists is actually the weakest.
Liu Qiang was filled with fear, his voice trembling, "You can't kill me. If something happens to me again, the Liu family will unleash its boundless wrath."
"Will you not fear that all your friends and relatives will be in danger?"
"Even if your strength is immense, even tigers and lions have their moments of slumber."
"You cannot guard against them at all times."
Mu Feng's expression remained calm, but a cold killing intent surged in his eyes like a tidal wave.
His voice was plain, yet it contained an undeniable force.
"It seems you have made your choice. I will fulfill it now."
As the words fell, several silver needles shot out from his fingertips.
In that instant, they pierced Liu Qiang's body.
Intense pain instantly spread throughout his body, and Liu Qiang's face contorted with extreme agony.
It was only then that he understood why Feng Jiajun was so afraid of Mu Feng; this was truly a fate worse than death.
In just a few seconds, his mentality began to crumble.
His eyes were filled with desperate pleading.
"Mu Feng, what exactly do you want?"
"I've already told you the news. I'm just a minor figure in the Liu family. My life or death means nothing to the entire Liu family."
"Killing me is equivalent to making a final break."
"There's truly no need to provoke a formidable enemy like the Liu family for a small figure like me."
He cried out in pain, his mind racing to find a way out of his current predicament.
Mu Feng said faintly, "To still be lying at this point is truly foolish."
"My words earlier have already revealed several pieces of information to you, yet you haven't grasped any of them."
"I'm practically telling you outright that I intend to destroy the Liu family."
"If it weren't for you, my Mu family wouldn't have been wiped out that year."
"This is merely the continuation of hatred. And you yourself said you are just an insignificant figure in the family. Even you are so arrogant and unrestrained; one can imagine the behavior of the others in your Liu family."
"I will not rest until I have my revenge. Why would I leave any room for you?"
With that, he turned and walked out of the private room.
Liu Qiang cried out in pain, "Even if you want to kill me, give me a quick death!"
"Stop tormenting me."
His voice was filled with regret. If he had known that Feng Jiajun was bringing him to meet Mu Feng, he should have run away immediately.
