Zhao Tianxiong’s pupils contracted violently, his gaze filled with disbelief as he involuntarily stood up.
“You… are you from the Ninth Division?”
A faint smile appeared on Mu Feng’s face. “You can understand it that way.”
“Or rather, I am from Flying Eagle, but you are not even qualified to interact with us.”
Zhao Tianxiong’s brows furrowed deeply. The shock in his heart had yet to subside. When Mu Feng mentioned the Ninth Division in front of him, his expression was so calm, as if he were speaking of some insignificant small team.
However, only those who knew understood the immense power of the Ninth Division.
He cautiously inquired, “I already sent people to make contact that day. Your Flying Eagle Company, we had already agreed on sincere cooperation, but your response made me extremely angry.”
“Now my younger brother is dead by your hand, but I haven’t sought revenge immediately. Do you know why?”
Seeing Mu Feng offer no response, he continued, “Because I know my brother was not a good person. He must have angered you, thus inviting such a catastrophic disaster.”
“I haven’t fully investigated the specific reason for his death, and I can see now that you appearing here personally must be to demand an explanation.”
“I can pretend this never happened. We can let bygones be bygones, you go your way, I’ll go mine, and we’ll have no further dealings.”
“This city is vast, and there are many places that require security services. Our businesses will inevitably have some conflicts and disputes, but it’s not to the point of mutual destruction. Otherwise, others will profit, and I suspect some might wish to snatch the fruits of our labor.”
“If you truly don’t know me well, then it’s a case of wishing for each other’s swift downfall.”
Mu Feng’s smile carried a hint of mockery. “Are you finished?”
Zhao Tianxiong frowned. “You don’t believe what I’m saying?”
“Why should I believe what you’re saying?”
Mu Feng’s voice remained calm as he took a few steps forward, his eyes glinting with sharp, cold light. “You might know nothing about power. I could crush you effortlessly.”
“Why would I compete with you?”
“Then I’ll give you two options: hand over all the shares of your company, and you can receive a sum of money and leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tianxiong suddenly stood up, slamming his palm hard onto the table, his eyes blazing with anger. “Impossible!”
“Mu Feng, don’t push it too far. What I just said was my way of yielding, but if you want to push me to the brink, don’t blame me for fighting back with all I have.”
“Your so-called effortless crushing won’t allow you to act with impunity against me. I am merely an ordinary person, but one with significant influence. If you dare to lay a hand on me, even if you are from the Ninth Division, you will absolutely not escape unscathed.”
“I don’t care what your identity is, but you’re dreaming if you think you can simply seize my industry.”
“Money is not that important to me anymore. The company is like a golden goose. You wanting to take the goose is a joke!”
With that, he turned to leave. “You’re simply unreasonable. I don’t want to waste another second with you.”
However, after only a few steps, he felt something pierce his back. He instinctively reached out to grasp it but found nothing.
In the next second, a violent pain erupted throughout his body, the agonizing torment causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
Just as he tried to speak, his mouth opened but no sound emerged, and he collapsed straight onto the ground. His entire body’s muscles began to spasm violently, the pain instantly engulfing him.
At this moment, Mu Feng’s face displayed a smile. “I already told you, you know nothing about power.”
“Perhaps you don’t even know what pain is, but today I will make you experience it profoundly. Consider it a small lesson.”
“The two paths I offered you, the other is the path to death.”
“Have you no idea what you’ve done before?”
After speaking, Mu Feng flicked his finger again, sending a strand of energy that easily struck Zhao Tianxiong’s acupoint.
In that instant, Zhao Tianxiong felt the pain multiply a hundredfold. Red blood vessels rapidly spread across his eyes, the soul-wrenching agony becoming unbearable.
Fear gradually crept into his gaze. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn’t utter a sound.
“Are you starting to regret it? If you were given a chance to choose again, what would you choose?”
Mu Feng spoke with a half-smile, observing the hesitation and struggle in Zhao Tianxiong’s eyes.
His smile widened. “Are you still clinging to hope? Since I am here today, I will not give you any more chances.”
“If you hadn’t sent your useless brother to cause trouble at our company before, perhaps I could have negotiated with you properly. After all, building a company is not easy, and I don’t have direct evidence of your wrongdoing. However, I can clearly see that your hands are stained with blood.”
“I’m not someone who likes to meddle in other people’s affairs, but you have targeted me. Since we have become enemies, there is no opportunity to reconcile. A broken mirror cannot be mended. You want to control the company and compete with me.”
“This is something I cannot allow to happen.”
Hearing these words, Zhao Tianxiong was already filled with regret. He had thought about this matter while lying on the ground.
If this pain were to continue, what meaning would life have? Earning more money would be useless.
The most painful thing in life is to have earned too much money but to die before enjoying it.
Thinking of this, his heart filled with endless fear.
His eyes were now filled with pleading, but Mu Feng didn’t look at him. Instead, he sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and slowly drew on it.
Mu Feng’s calm voice echoed.
“I already told you, this is a small lesson for you, a way to help you remember what happened today.”
“Human memory is very limited. A profound lesson will make you understand what today’s events truly mean.”
