The speaker was none other than Mu Feng. He walked in slowly, his hands clasped behind his back.
Upon seeing him, Qiu Feng and Zhao Lao San were so startled that they instinctively tumbled from their seats, their appearance ludicrous to the extreme.
"Senior Huang, it's him! He's the one we want you to kill!" Zhao Lao San pointed a trembling finger towards the entrance of the private room.
All eyes in the room snapped towards the uninvited guest.
Mu Feng touched his nose and said, "You two truly are something, birds of a feather flock together!"
Zhao Lao San's face contorted, his expression one of disbelief. "How did you find your way here? How did you know we were here?"
He walked over, casually pulled out a chair, and sat down. "Not a single move you two make escapes my notice!"
He paused, then pointed towards the ceiling. "Remember, three feet above your head is the divine. To keep a secret, you must never do it."
At these words, both men shivered. Had they been on someone's radar for a long time? If the other party had wanted to kill them, they could have done so long ago. The thought sent a cold sweat down their spines.
Mu Feng quickly went to the old man's side, reminding him, "Senior Huang, you mustn't be careless. This person has killed quite a few of my subordinates. They were armed, but still, they couldn't handle him!"
The old man cast a disdainful glance at Mu Feng. "Youthful impetuosity isn't always a good thing. Someone wants to pay to end your life!"
Mu Feng leaned back in his chair, asking with some curiosity, "Then I'm rather interested to know, how much is my life worth?"
"These two gentlemen have collectively spent ten million to buy your life!" the old man stated, his face devoid of any expression.
He chuckled dismissively, quite displeased. "Just ten million? Is my life only worth this much?"
The old man scoffed, "What? How much do you think it's worth?"
Mu Feng ignored him, smiling slyly. "How about this, I'll give you a hundred million to take care of these two!"
Zhao Lao San and Qiu Feng's faces immediately changed. Zhao Lao San quickly said, "Senior Huang, you mustn't fall for this brat's trick. Where could he possibly get so much money?"
The old man was also rather eccentric. He revealed a faint smile. "If you can truly produce that much money, young man, then killing a couple of people for you would be no problem at all!"
At this, Zhao Lao San and Qiu Feng's faces instantly darkened.
Zhao Lao San immediately pouted, "Senior Huang, you can't play games like this. How can this be acceptable..."
Qiu Feng also stepped in front of the old man. "Senior, you can't joke around like this. He's your enemy!"
Mu Feng smiled slightly and pulled a check from his pocket, casually writing a series of zeros on it.
He waved the check in front of everyone. "See? This is a check for one hundred million. Do you want it?"
The old man crossed his arms and snorted, "How do I know your check isn't a bouncing one?"
Zhao Lao San nodded vigorously. "That's right, it's a bouncing check. Senior Huang, don't be fooled by this brat!"
"This is no bouncing check. The money can indeed be withdrawn. If you don't need it, I'll just put it away!" Mu Feng yawned.
The old man signaled to his disciple, and soon a burly man stepped forward and took the check.
This burly man was discerning. After examining it, he said, "Master, this is indeed a genuine check!"
The old man was greedy by nature. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to kill someone for ten million. Now that someone offered ten times the amount, it was hard for him not to be tempted.
He quickly snatched the check and tucked it into his chest. "It's a deal, it's a deal!"
Qiu Feng jumped up in anger. "Senior Huang, how could you do this?"
"Qiu, look at the kind of people you invite! You're going to get me killed!" Zhao Lao San almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The old man said with disdain, "Do you expect the elder to work for you for free?"
Qiu Feng gritted his teeth. "That's not how it should be. Senior Huang, if you act like this, who will dare to seek your services in the future?"
The old man's eyes were filled with killing intent, and his fists cracked with every clench. "Heaven knows, I know, you know, and they know. Once you're all dead, who will know? Of course, if you can produce more money, I don't mind helping you out!"
Mu Feng jiggled his leg. "Alright, Senior Huang, is it? Hurry up and make your move. After all, my money isn't easily earned. If you don't act soon, I'll take it back!"
The old man gave him a meaningful glance. "Boy, are you speaking to me?"
Mu Feng nodded. "That's right, is there a problem?"
"Let me tell you, I detest people speaking to me like this. I'm not satisfied. This time, I will make you die a horrible death!" The old man clearly intended to betray him.
He chuckled, "What? Are you planning to take the money and not do the job?"
"The money is in my hands anyway. What can you do to me?" The old man took a deep breath, his smugness immeasurable.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lao San's face lit up with joy. He gave a thumbs-up. "As expected of a senior. To earn a hundred million for free, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Yes, Senior, you are truly wise and resourceful, earning so much money without breaking a sweat!" Qiu Feng added flattery from the side.
The old man sneered. "If you two wish to live, you will need to pay an additional ten million. If you cannot, I don't mind killing you as well!"
Qiu Feng and Zhao Lao San were so furious their lungs were about to explode. However, their lives were truly in his hands now, leaving them no room to bargain.
Zhao Lao San gritted his teeth. "Fine, we'll give it to you. Whatever you say goes!" They say you can't catch a wolf without shedding blood. After all, once Mu Feng was dead, the gold mine would be recovered. At that time, the money they could earn would not be a mere ten million, but a source of endless wealth.
The old man nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, you are indeed sensible. Now, who will take care of this kid?"
Soon, a burly man stepped forward and cupped his fist. "Master, this simple task need not trouble my senior brothers. Let me do it!"
The eyes of these burly men were filled with contempt. In their opinion, the young man before them was no match for them.
Mu Feng touched his nose and warned, "You all need to understand, Mu is not easily fooled. If you take my money and don't do the job, I will have consequences for you!"
The burly men burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this.
