The guests who had previously looked somewhat flustered suddenly straightened their backs, a fierce and courageous air rising on their faces, as if they were trying to regain the dignity they had lost in front of everyone.
They couldn't explain why, but when they met Liu Feng's sharp gaze, which seemed to see through people's hearts, their hearts were involuntarily stirred with strong emotions.
At this moment, a burly, muscular man was particularly eye-catching. He had a hideous scar running from the corner of his eye to his chin, and his shirt was open, revealing a large area of intricate tattoos on his chest. The tattoos resembled ferocious beasts with bared fangs and claws, exuding a strong sense of banditry.
He spoke English with a heavy Southeast Asian accent, his laughter hearty yet tinged with provocation: "What an arrogant young man! So what if we did it? We repeatedly invited you to join us in this great undertaking, which was an honor for you, but you kept making excuses, clearly showing you didn't take us seriously! Killing a few experts was just a small warning to you."
The other man was thin, with sinister eyes and a cold smile on his lips: "Mr. Liu, there's an old Chinese saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' On this island, strength determines everything. If you're smart enough to hand over your new drug and share it, you might still be able to save your life."
His words were both threatening and playful, clearly showing he enjoyed the cat-and-mouse game.
The third man, seemingly a gentle and refined middle-aged man, revealed a ruthless glint in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses: "Liu Feng, I think you're a smart man. You should know how to choose what's most advantageous for yourself. Don't forget, your factory, your research, and even your life are hanging by a thread. Cooperating with us is your only way out."
The three of them, working in unison, instantly created a tense atmosphere in the living room, thick with the smell of gunpowder, as if a storm was about to erupt.
Overstan was secretly annoyed; the impulsive actions of these three had completely disrupted his carefully planned scheme.
He frowned slightly, cleared his throat, and said in a stern tone, "Gentlemen, please calm down. It's a rare occasion for us to gather here today. Why let a moment of anger ruin our harmony? Mr. Liu has come from afar, so we should treat him with courtesy. Why can't we discuss this calmly?"
However, Liu Feng seemed not to hear these seemingly conciliatory words. He crossed his arms and chuckled with a hint of mockery: "Peace? You think you're worthy to talk to me about peace?"
After saying that, his gaze swept over the arrogant guests again like an ice blade. "You clowns think you can covet the achievements of Changsheng Pharmaceutical? What wishful thinking and overestimating yourselves!"
The burly man seemed enraged by these words; the scars on his face turned bright red with anger, making him appear even more ferocious.
He let out a furious roar like a wild beast: "You arrogant brat, you've got a lot of nerve! Today I'll teach you a lesson from your grandfather!"
Having said that, he impatiently rolled up his sleeves and charged fiercely at Liu Feng like a bull. The two men beside him, seeing this, also rubbed their hands together, their eyes flashing with ferocity, ready to fight at any moment.
The gambling king and his other bodyguard both felt a chill run down their spines. They secretly reached into their pockets and gripped the specially made short gun that they never parted with, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time. At the same time, they kept an eye on their surroundings to prevent anyone from attacking them from behind.
