Chapter 97: Refusal

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Refusal

Ling Hai, feeling the firmness beneath him, said with a touch of emotion, "Alright, alright, I will definitely abstain this month, cousin, thank you!"

Regaining his manhood gave Ling Hai the feeling of being reborn!

As for revenge, Ling Hai no longer harbored any desire for it in his heart! What would he do if he failed and became a eunuch once again?

Compared to his brother Ling Xiao, Ling Hai was indeed a man without great aspiration; if Ling Feng were just an ordinary person, he wouldn’t mind having someone teach Ling Feng a lesson, but as soon as Ling Feng showed a certain strength, Ling Hai immediately chickened out!

He even no longer wanted anything to do with Ling Feng!

"Thank you, cousin!" Ling Xiao raised his cup towards Ling Feng, "To you!"

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, then picked up his cup, "No need to be polite!"

They finished the drink, but Ling Xiao didn’t leave. Instead, he looked at Ling Feng seriously and said, "Cousin, you’ve just returned to the country and probably aren’t very familiar with some things here. If you don’t mind, come and help me. Together, we brothers can join hands and certainly achieve something great!"

The people around, including Lei Lingfeng, looked at Ling Xiao with surprise!

They hadn’t expected that at this time, Ling Xiao would actually try to recruit Ling Feng!

From playing the emotional card at the beginning to offering the property deed with both hands, Ling Xiao’s actions could be described as impeccable! Even the most critical could only commend Ling Xiao’s attitude with a word of praise!

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Help you? Do you want me to be your enforcer?"

"Cousin, you’re joking again!" Ling Xiao replied with a slight smile, "I merely admire your strength! I don’t want your abilities to go to waste! Besides, I believe I can offer you a broad platform. What do you say?"

Ling Feng, not being a Superman with an overwhelming sense of justice, was actually no different from the United Hearts Gang, maybe even more brutal. But Ling Feng was thoroughly tired of the life of violence. In the fifteen years with the Divine Gate organization, he continuously cultivated, broke through barriers, struggled on the brink of death, and repeatedly lifted his blade against other lives for the sake of survival...

After all that, Ling Feng had long since become detached from everything and naturally did not take Ling Xiao’s recruitment efforts to heart.

"Thanks for the appreciation," Ling Feng replied with a slight smile, "but I’m a bit laid-back. I don’t want to gain more benefits or take on more responsibilities. I think my life is pretty good as it is. If I get married in the future, I’ll have no regrets!"

Ling Xiao said anxiously, "Cousin, I really want you..."

"Forget it!" Ling Feng interrupted Ling Xiao, "Let’s end this topic here! I am well aware of the United Hearts Gang’s position in Yanjing, but I have no interest in getting involved with you guys. Do you understand?"

Ling Feng’s words were rather blunt, causing many of the United Hearts Gang members present to frown.

"Hmph, don’t want to be involved with us? You really think you’re something, don’t you?" A man by Lei Lingfeng’s side looked at Ling Feng with a sinister gaze, his cold voice stating, "Ling Feng, is it? Don’t play the ungrateful card. Do you truly believe that by defeating Situ Wushui, you’ve earned the privilege to haggle with the United Hearts Gang?"

Ling Feng helplessly looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I’m not sure if I didn’t express myself clearly, or if you misunderstood. I have no prejudice against the United Hearts Gang, but I just want to live a peaceful life. I’m tired of the constant fighting and killing of the underworld."

"A young man like you, why do you exhibit such an unambitious attitude?" Lei Lingfeng said indifferently, "Isn’t it every strong person’s dream to wield power over the world or to rest in the lap of a beauty when drunk? Don’t you ever want to see what it’s like to stand at the peak of the world?"

Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders, "That might be what many people pursue, but it doesn’t attract me. I think it would be best for you to drop this idea; let’s keep to our separate paths and leave each other in peace from now on!"

"What a pity!" Lei Lingfeng said regretfully, "I actually wanted to recruit you, but it seems you have no interest in joining, truly disappointing!"

Raising his glass to Lei Lingfeng, Ling Feng said, "I’m just an ordinary citizen, not cut out for the admiration of such an important person like you; saying so puts me under great pressure!"

After finishing his drink, Ling Feng wiped his lips, "Ling Xiao, I’ve delivered the gift. I have other matters to attend to and must be going now. No need to see me out!"

Saying that, Ling Feng picked up the document bag, bid farewell to Ling Xiao, and left.

Ling Xiao’s face wore a complex expression; he hadn’t expected Ling Feng to reject his overture so decisively. Now, in front of Lei Lingfeng, he could only let Ling Feng go.

"Such an arrogant youngster!" the previously angry middle-aged man exclaimed, "Who does he think he is, refusing Big Brother Lei’s offer! This truly infuriates me!"

In a surge of emotion, the glass in his hand was already shattered by his Inner Strength, and the wine within splattered into the air.

Lei Lingfeng was not as furious as him, instead furrowing his brows, "A 25-year-old with strength not inferior to that of Class A, such a talented young man might not even be found in the Dragon Group! Who exactly is he, and is his appearance coincidental or inevitable?"

With the United Hearts Gang about to launch a major operation, no movement could be taken lightly. Ling Feng’s appearance had triggered an alarm in Lei Lingfeng’s mind.

"Big Brother, should I make a move to test him?" the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Even if I can’t kill him, at least I can teach him a lesson, so he doesn’t underestimate our United Hearts Gang!"

After pondering for a moment, Lei Lingfeng nodded, "It would be good for you to test him, try to identify his lineage through his moves! This Ling Feng has shown up so mysteriously; we can’t ignore him!"

The middle-aged man nodded, then stealthily disappeared from everyone’s sight.

"Big Brother Lei, I have a bad feeling about this!" Situ Wushui hesitated before saying, "Should we send some people to back up Tian Xing?"

"Tian Xing’s strength has already advanced to Class A; he is more than capable of handling a young punk," Lei Lingfeng said indifferently, "What intrigues me more is, who stands behind Ling Feng? Who dares to disregard our United Hearts Gang? Such forces are few and far between in Huaxia! If he turns out to be a disciple from one of the Hidden Clans, we might have to compromise when the time comes!"

As the Gang Leader of the United Hearts Gang, Lei Lingfeng had a deeper understanding of the world. Although the United Hearts Gang was formidable, they were only so within the secular world; against a true Hidden Clan, they had no choice but to make concessions.
