Ding Lao San’s face showed embarrassment, large beads of sweat continuously sliding down his forehead. The man was trembling uncontrollably.
“The family head is asking you a question. Where are your ears?” In the family conference room, a middle-aged man in a suit slammed the table and shouted, pointing a finger at his nose.
“I, I…” Ding Lao San stammered in agitation, unable to utter a single word.
“Since he can’t say it, then I will. This fellow has already betrayed the family!” As soon as the words fell, a burly young man, leading a group of people, entered.
This person was none other than the second young master of the Ding family, Ding Yi Ming. He had overheard the entire conversation between himself and Mu Feng just now.
The car that had been following closely behind them belonged to Ding Yi Ming and his entourage.
With that said, all eyes in the conference room snapped to Ding Lao San.
The family head immediately slammed the table and angrily rebuked, “How dare you betray the family! Guards…”
Ding Lao San quickly shouted, “Family head, you cannot listen to his one-sided words. He simply says I’ve betrayed, and so I have?” At this moment, he desperately wanted to stall for time, waiting for Mu Feng’s arrival.
However, he was also extremely uncertain in his heart, as he was, in essence, merely a pawn that could be discarded at any moment.
Ding Yi Ming took out his phone from his pocket and said in a low voice, “Family head, please take a look. This is the evidence of his collusion with Mu Feng!”
After the family head took the phone, his expression quickly turned cold.
All the Ding family members in the conference room crowded around. Upon seeing the secretly filmed video on the screen, almost all of them turned their furious gazes towards Ding Lao San.
“How else do you explain yourself now? Guards, seize this traitor!” the family head exclaimed with immense indignation.
Ding Lao San’s vision went black, and despair filled his face. He knew he was in grave danger this time.
Just then, a very discordant voice came from the conference room door.
“Is this how you Ding family treats your future family head? This is simply a case of biting the hand that feeds you!”
A young man kicked the door open and slowly walked in. This young man was none other than Mu Feng.
These words were astonishing, and all the hateful gazes immediately turned towards him.
“Mr. Mu, you’ve finally arrived. If you had been a step later, this humble one would have died a terrible death!”
Upon seeing him, Ding Lao San’s tears rolled down, and he rushed forward without hesitation, kneeling beside him.
“What joke are you playing? What do you mean, the future family head?” Ding Yi Ming clenched his fists and walked over aggressively.
Mu Feng said in a commanding tone, “Listen up, all of you. From now on, he is your family head. Do you understand?”
As soon as the words fell, everyone present burst into laughter, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
Ding Yi Ming could not help but scoff, “Are you that fellow named Mu? This person needs to have some self-awareness. You and this idiot from the Ding family are truly a perfect match, spewing such arrogant words and making such a fool of yourself!”
The family head waved his hand and said, “Alright, since this young fellow is here too, let’s apprehend them together. When did we get so many cockroaches in the house?”
Mu Feng shrugged his shoulders and sighed, “It seems you really don’t take my words seriously. If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Ding Lao San nervously said in a low voice, “Mr. Mu, what should we do now? They have overwhelming numbers!”
“As the head of a family, one must first possess exceptional courage. If you only have this much bravery, I will leave right now!” Mu Feng said with displeasure.
Startled, he immediately knelt down and grabbed Mu Feng’s leg, “Mr. Mu, don’t! From now on, whatever you say goes. If you tell me to jump into a fire pit, I will absolutely not shy away from a mountain of knives!”
“How ridiculous. He thinks he’s latched onto a powerful figure?”
“So, birds of a feather flock together. These two idiot swine can actually associate with each other!”
“Indeed, indeed. They even dare to attempt to overthrow my Ding family? They are likely escapees from the asylum!”
In the eyes of the Ding family members, Ding Lao San’s actions appeared utterly comical.
Soon, a group of Ding family disciples armed with iron rods rushed into the conference room, completely surrounding Mu Feng and the other man.
Ding Yi Ming crossed his arms, a smug smile appearing at the corner of his lips, “Beat them! Beat them hard, and let this young fool understand that not everyone can be offended!”
“Alas, overestimating yourselves. Then bring it on!” Mu Feng raised his middle finger, completely disregarding these people.
The Ding family disciples exchanged glances and swung their iron rods, smashing forward recklessly.
Mu Feng waved his hand, and over a dozen cold glints flew from all directions. Before these Ding family disciples could react, they stopped in their tracks.
A tiny, invisible bloodstain appeared on the center of each of their foreheads, and another bloodstain was on the back of their heads.
Ding Yi Ming had not yet realized the gravity of the situation. He berated, “What are you doing? Hurry up and attack! A bunch of useless good-for-nothings!”
Mu Feng stretched lazily and said with a half-smile, “What do you think a group of dead people can do?”
With several thuds, all these Ding family disciples collapsed onto the ground.
“There’s no breath. They’re not breathing…” someone boldly approached, then leaped up in fright.
The Ding family head and everyone else stared at the scene before them in stunned silence. They hadn’t even seen how Mu Feng had made his move, nor how their people had died.
Mu Feng yawned and said, “I told you, don’t oppose me, and don’t defy my will. Otherwise, this will be your fate!”
“Father, quickly strike this fellow down! He’s too ruthless, he’s truly too ruthless!”
Ding Yi Ming, no longer daring to be arrogant, scrambled away in a panicked manner and hid behind the family head.
The family head’s expression was grave. Did he not wish to kill Mu Feng immediately? But did he truly possess the capability?
He took a deep breath and said coldly, “You killed them? How can there be someone as vicious as you?”
“I never initiate trouble. But since your Ding family insists on being someone else’s lackey, then I can only beat this dog to death. Are you the head of the Ding family?” Mu Feng glanced at him.
“Indeed, my Ding family is not easily provoked. Do you not fear retaliation for such wanton behavior?” The Ding family head’s tone was filled with threat.
Mu Feng rubbed his chin, “In my eyes, dead people do not retaliate. I will give you a chance to live. Hand over the position of family head, and I can spare all of you.”
