Chen Feng transmigrated into a high-tech martial world and discovered that his original self had just been tricked by a property agent into taking out a mortgage on a house.
Upon making his f...
On the evening of July 28, at the Zuifeng Bar on Binhe Road in Jiangzhou, four young men and women dressed in flamboyant clothes were drinking in a booth while swaying their bodies and dancing to the beat.
"It's my treat tonight! Have a great time and drink to your hearts' content!" a skinny young man shrieked.
"Hey monkey, don't squander all that money you've earned. How are you going to support your two old ladies later?" The girl in the crop top next to him put her arm around his shoulder and shouted in his ear.
"I made a lot of money this time. Brother Fei sold that white fox for a high price, and I got a bigger share because I tracked it down. I've already given the two old folks 500,000 yuan, which is enough for their retirement," the monkey said with a smile.
"Butterfly, don't worry about the monkey. He doesn't want to get married anyway. As long as he has women around him, he's living a pretty carefree life," another young man wearing black-rimmed glasses laughed.
"Frog, you're a married man. You're out with us until midnight and still not going home. Aren't you afraid your wife will go looking for other men?" The red-haired woman next to them had a hot body, wearing a red leather top and shorts, exuding endless temptation and passion.
“Blazing Flame, my wife is just an ordinary person, she can’t withstand my whipping at all, how can she compare to you?” Frog said, and directly hugged Blazing Flame and kissed her. Blazing Flame responded passionately, as if this was a game they often played.
"A bunch of idiots. Your friend died and you don't even seek revenge, you're still hanging around here? No wonder that one-eyed guy died so easily, you're all a bunch of morons."
Just then, a voice suddenly came, and the four of them instantly stood up straight, their auras suddenly bursting out, locking onto the source of the voice.
Then they saw a black figure in the darkness, but it was hidden in the shadows and its face was not clear. The black figure did not say anything, but simply threw a flat bag onto the sofa of the four people.
When the four looked up again, the person had already disappeared into the darkness. The two young couples naturally lost interest in playing. Frog carefully opened the bag, and inside were some materials.
"Let's go outside and take a look," the frog said to the three of them, without looking closely. He put away the bag.
The four rushed out of the bar, but there were people coming and going outside, and no one matched the figure in the darkness. It was as if the other person had never appeared at all. If it weren't for the bag in the frog's hand, they would have felt like they were dreaming.
"At least a seventh-rank martial artist, right?" the monkey said with a serious expression.
Of the four of them, Frog and Butterfly are mid-stage eighth-rank martial artists, while Monkey and Blazing Flame are only early-stage eighth-rank martial artists. If the other party has malicious intentions, they probably have no power to resist.
Afterwards, they left and went to where Butterfly and Flame lived, the two of them living together, while Monkey and Frog were clearly not visiting their home for the first time.
"The materials are few, just two pages. One page is about Chen Feng, the student who ranked tenth in the national college entrance examination in Jiangzhou this year. The other page is about the conflict between Chen Feng and Fei Ge's younger brother Qi Xiang at school, and how Qi Xiang instructed One-Eyed to deal with Chen Feng."
After quickly scanning two pages of information, Frog handed them to the other three with a gloomy expression. Everyone felt heavy-hearted after reading them, because this matter was related to the captain's younger brother, so the captain would definitely know about it as soon as he got home.
However, half a month has passed, and they have asked the captain about it from time to time. The captain has said several times that he is still looking for people to investigate, which is obviously deceiving them.
“We’ve been back in the city for half a month now. Since the captain knew all along, why didn’t he know about us? Why didn’t he tell us the truth?” Flame murmured.
"What good would it do to tell the truth? One-Eyed's death is related to the captain's younger brother, Qi Xiang. It's very likely that Qi Xiang ordered him to deal with Chen Feng, but he was killed instead." Butterfly shook her head and said.
"The captain probably doesn't want us to know the truth, since this matter involves his brother. You know, One-Eye came back to deal with the items and make repairs, but he got into trouble, which almost caused a major disaster for our entire hunting team," Monkey said thoughtfully.
“Although these materials sound plausible, we can’t dismiss the captain’s beliefs based on that alone. I suggest we ask him tomorrow to see if he actually knows anything about it, or if he already has any plans,” Frog said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, we have to trust the captain. Maybe he already has a plan, but he just doesn't want us to know?" Flame nodded.
However, despite saying this, the four of them still had some doubts about Qi Fei. If what these materials said was true, then Qi Fei's younger brother would also bear some responsibility for the death of the one-eyed man.
"I have another question. According to these materials, Chen Feng demonstrated the strength of a peak ninth-grade martial artist in the college entrance examination and was able to challenge a mid-eighth-grade martial artist. Is that possible?" Butterfly asked after thinking for a moment.
"Judging from his college entrance examination score, he did indeed challenge and defeat the examiners at the mid-stage of the eighth rank, which means he must have some powerful trump card," Frog analyzed.
"Since Chen Feng achieved such excellent results in the college entrance examination, ranking tenth in the country, he must have already been specially recruited by one of the four top universities, right? I wonder which university he will enter?"
"Besides, Chen Feng is probably a celebrity in the entire Jiangzhou now, and he is also a key figure being cultivated by the Martial Arts Department and the Education Department. Perhaps there are even powerful people secretly protecting him to prevent him from being attacked by the evil god cultists?" Lie Huo suddenly said.
Then, everyone was stunned. Frog's expression changed drastically: "I'm afraid the person who gave us this material has ulterior motives. They might be a cultist?"
"Then what do we do? If One-Eye was really killed by Chen Feng, shouldn't we avenge him?" the monkey asked coldly.
"Who wouldn't want to avenge One-Eye? But revenge requires an opportunity. You can't just stupidly throw your life away, you know?"
"The cultists are definitely keeping an eye on Chen Feng in the dark, and the powerful figures from the Martial Arts Department, the Education Department, and even the Governor's Mansion may also be protecting him secretly. If we get involved, we'll just be cannon fodder," the frog snorted.
"Since our hunting team is a group, and the captain once said that he wanted to avenge One-Eye, let's go directly to him tomorrow and show him these materials."
At the same time, let's tell him our analysis and see if the captain has any plans or ideas before making a decision.
We want to avenge One-Eyed, but without evidence, as long as Chen Feng doesn't admit it, we can't even challenge him. We can only secretly look for an opportunity.
"However, we cannot become pawns of the evil god cult. Even if we kill Chen Feng and avenge One-Eye, once the martial arts department identifies us as accomplices of the evil god cult, we will be finished." Butterfly said to everyone calmly.
