The youth answered without hesitation, "We'll reach the destination in about a day and a half at most."
"We live on the boat most of the time and rarely go to that island. We only go there when we send people over. I know the place because I was originally from that island."
"I was also tricked and coerced into coming here, becoming their lackey. If I don't follow their assigned tasks, I'll surely have nowhere to be buried."
"Then how do you explain that you weren't controlled?" Mu Feng asked calmly.
Hearing this, the youth's heart skipped a beat. He had intended to find an excuse to extricate himself and appear innocent.
However, he hadn't expected the person in front of him to grasp the crucial point with a single sentence.
Mu Feng, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, said directly, "I'll send people to follow you. When we get there, everyone on the deserted island except the innocent will be eliminated."
A man in black beside him immediately bowed in assent.
The weakest among them were at the Grandmaster realm. Those he could bring along had to be exceptionally skilled.
Mu Feng pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Xiao Liu, you go with them."
A figure appeared on the deck silently. He was frail, and even standing there, he seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him over. However, if his reputation were known, it would undoubtedly send many people fleeing in terror.
Xiao Liu was a true master among the Flying Eagles. The tasks he was given were never botched, and he always managed to eliminate his targets from an unbelievable angle. None of his targets had ever escaped.
Xiao Liu walked over and smiled at Mu Feng. On his gaunt face, only his set of pearly white teeth were remarkably bright.
Mu Feng took out a pill and handed it directly to Xiao Liu. "Your strength has advanced. This pill will help you consolidate your foundation. Return immediately after completing this mission. If you can pry their mouths open, try to gather information, though I doubt it will be of much use."
"That place is likely just for their alliance to cultivate talent, so there probably aren't any truly formidable figures there."
"However, you must be careful not to fall into their traps. Your primary objective is to protect yourself."
Xiao Liu nodded again. His voice had been problematic for a long time; Mu Feng had sustained severe injuries before rescuing him.
Mu Feng leaped up, lightly stepping on the water's surface. Only a ripple was created as he disappeared into the sea at an extremely high speed.
The only youth still standing stared with wide, disbelieving eyes. He had thought he had already overestimated the man's strength, but now he realized that this was a true master, far beyond his comprehension. He was certainly not just at the Grandmaster realm.
Even a Grandmaster couldn't tread on water without leaving a trace, but his eyes hadn't even noticed the tiny ripples caused by the youth's movement.
Xiao Liu said nothing, but his sword was suddenly drawn, pointing at the youth's neck.
The youth suddenly reacted, realizing he had fallen into their hands and had no power to resist. He hastily said, "Start the ship immediately. Please don't kill me, I will cooperate fully."
When Mu Feng drove back to the villa, his gaze immediately fell upon the car parked at the entrance.
That was not their villa; the license plates on the vehicles here were from out of town.
"Do we have guests?"
Entering the villa's main hall, he saw a youth, no older than twenty, dressed in casual attire, wearing a prestigious watch, and sporting a proud expression. However, his triangular eyes carried a sinister glint when looking at people.
The triangular-eyed man was casually seated on the sofa, lighting a cigarette and taking slow drags.
Besides him, there wasn't another soul in the villa.
Mu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. The villa's people were all absent. Xiao Liu, who had left with him earlier, had taken everyone. With no one to guard him, this person had found an opportunity.
"My wife dislikes the smell of smoke in the villa."
The triangular-eyed man paused, then couldn't help but laugh. "The rumors are true. They say you're a kept man, living comfortably thanks to Su Nianxue."
"I didn't expect you to be so timid, afraid to even smoke a cigarette today?"
"Are you afraid Su Nianxue will smell the smoke when she returns, suspect you, and get angry with you?"
Mu Feng, too lazy for further banter, said calmly, "Before you say such things, shouldn't you reveal your identity? I'm quite curious about where you're from and who gave you the audacity to barge into the villa?"
"Pretty boy, do you have the right to ask who I am?" The triangular-eyed man stood up, picked up a wine bottle from the table, and walked towards Mu Feng.
He casually drank the villa's stored wine without regard for the owner's wishes.
At that moment, holding the bottle, he swung it directly at Mu Feng's head. His eyes were filled with unrestrained arrogance.
However, before the bottle could land, his wrist froze mid-air.
Mu Feng stood about two meters in front of him, and behind the triangular-eyed man, a man in black suddenly appeared, firmly gripping his wrist.
The man in black's voice was as cold as a knife. "Disrespect the young master, you seek death!"
The triangular-eyed man was stunned. He abruptly turned to look at the man in black, about to say something, when he saw a gleaming long saber placed at his neck, slowly applying pressure. A thin red line appeared on his neck's skin.
Blood droplets slowly dripped onto the floor from the mirror-smooth blade.
Only then did he react, his face instantly turning deathly pale. The wine bottle in his hand also fell to the ground.
"You... What do you want?"
A trembling voice filled with fear came from him. "You'd better not come any closer. You have no idea who I am. If anything happens to me, you will all be finished."
The man in black's saber did not falter, continuing to apply slight pressure. The sharp blade had already cut through his skin.
The fear of death enveloped the triangular-eyed man. He was now so terrified that his face was ashen, and his legs were trembling so much he looked like he was about to wet himself.
Mu Feng's voice was calm. "Throw him out. Don't pollute the villa's air."
"Also, find out where he came from."
