Qin Feng had just returned to the city when Xiao Yu called.
Xiao Yu told Qin Feng to go to the Longyuan headquarters immediately, saying that Commander Long had suddenly fallen into a coma.
Qin Feng knew Long Shuai's physical condition very well. He had no hidden injuries at all, so why did he suddenly fall into a coma?
However, nothing is absolute. After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Feng finally decided to go to the Longyuan headquarters first.
Anyway, the Ye family, the Song family, and the Jiang family can't escape, so we can go anytime.
Qin Feng flew on his sword to the sky above the Longyuan headquarters. He subconsciously released his divine sense to scan the area and couldn't help but frown.
Long Shuai was perfectly fine, and was sitting in the living room drinking tea with Xiao Yu.
In addition, three distinguished elderly men stood to the side.
The three old men all looked unwell, as if they were somewhat uneasy.
Why did you lie to me and ask me to come back?
Qin Feng muttered something to himself, then slowly landed outside the villa's main entrance, sheathed his Dragon Cloud Sword, pushed open the door, and went inside.
As soon as Qin Feng entered the villa, Long Shuai and the other four men all looked over at the same time.
Both Long Shuai and Xiao Yu were somewhat embarrassed and stood up one after the other.
The three old men looked at Qin Feng with suspicion and uncertainty in their eyes.
They are Song Dekun, the patriarch of the Song family; Ye Kuang, the patriarch of the Ye family; and Jiang Yunfeng, the patriarch of the Jiang family.
Not long ago, the Earth Realm experts that the three families sent out to ambush Qin Feng sent back news that the six Ghost Kings had been killed by Qin Feng.
They were all worried that Qin Feng would come to their homes and kill indiscriminately, so they immediately ran to Longyuan to ask for help from Commander Long.
Qin Feng glanced at Song Dekun and the other two, then his gaze shifted to Long Shuai and Xiao Yu. "I need an explanation."
Xiao Yu introduced them with an embarrassed expression. "Let me introduce these three gentlemen to you first!"
"This is the Song family patriarch, Song Dekun; this is the Ye family patriarch, Ye Kuang; and this is the Jiang family patriarch, Jiang Yunfeng."
"They've come to apologize to you!"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Song Dekun and the other two with a half-smile.
"Apologize? What crime have they committed?"
Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word.
Long Shuai smiled but remained silent.
They don't need to get involved in what happens next; Qin Feng will handle it himself.
Song Dekun hesitated for a moment, then chuckled dryly. "Young man, I'll just get straight to the point!"
“It was our mistake to send people to ambush you. We apologize and will offer you a compensation that will satisfy you.”
Qin Feng chuckled. "An apology that satisfies me? Tell me!"
Song Dekun, Ye Kuang, and Jiang Yunfeng exchanged glances before he said, “Five hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, plus all the properties our three families own in Binhai.”
"I just did a rough estimate, and the total market value of all the industries that our three companies have in Binhai is about 200 billion."
"Furthermore, we assure you that we will never be your enemy again from now on, and all three of us will lend a helping hand whenever you need it."
Qin Feng was stunned. Five hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, plus a two-hundred-billion-dollar industry—these three old guys were really generous.
However, it was extremely worthwhile for them to use these material possessions to avoid family disaster.
With his strength, wiping out the three families would be no problem at all. He wouldn't even need to show himself; he could simply hide in the shadows and use fireballs to inflict heavy casualties on them.
However, he did not intend to destroy these three families, because the consequence would be that he would definitely be forced to leave the Dragon Kingdom or hide in the deep mountains and forests to cultivate.
The three major families are deeply rooted in the Dragon Kingdom, with intricate and complex interpersonal relationships.
If they were all wiped out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
The royal family will definitely take action against him under pressure, as he is not yet capable of ignoring royal authority.
He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could take on an entire nation by himself.
Therefore, there is no need to put yourself in a difficult situation just to vent your anger.
After this incident, the three major families will definitely not dare to provoke him again.
"Can!"
"But it must be paid by tomorrow morning, or else don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Song Dekun, Ye Kuang, and Jiang Yunfeng all breathed a sigh of relief when Qin Feng agreed.
Then, all three immediately took out their phones and made calls to have someone prepare the elixir and the transfer contracts for all the properties in Binhai.
After making the call, Song Dekun and his two companions said goodbye and left. They had achieved their goal, so there was no need for them to stay and get in the way.
After watching Song Dekun and the other two leave, Xiao Yu looked at Qin Feng apologetically. "I'm sorry, I lied to you just now!"
Qin Feng glanced at Xiao Yu, then walked over and sat down opposite Long Shuai, smiling slightly. "Actually, I didn't intend to wipe out these three families!"
Xiao Yu and Long Shuai were both taken aback. According to their investigation of Qin Feng, this guy was extremely vengeful and didn't even have the intention to destroy the Ye, Song, and Jiang families.
Wasn't this guy supposed to be lawless? Or did he suddenly change his ways?
However, they quickly realized the reason: Qin Feng's strength had not yet reached the point where he could do anything without any scruples.
Long Shuai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiao Qin, there's something I think you should know."
“Those three old guys came by during the day today. They gave me a lot of elixirs, and I promised not to get involved in their feud with you.”
“I even encouraged them to persist in taking action against you, because I believed you could handle it.”
"Of course, my main purpose is to see just how powerful you really are."
Qin Feng frowned slightly. He felt like he had been tricked and was very unhappy.
Seeing Qin Feng remain silent, Long Shuai said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, but there's something else I feel is very important to tell you!"
"Actually, you don't hold a sinecure position in Longyuan. You are the first deputy commander of Longyuan and the first in line to succeed the Long commander."
"This was a decision made unanimously by the King and the Council of Elders."
"That's precisely why I had the idea of testing your true strength."
"You did not disappoint me, and your strength far exceeded my expectations."
Qin Feng was stunned. What the hell was going on? He had inexplicably become the first in line to succeed the Dragon Commander.
Isn't this an attempt to forcibly elevate him to power?
But he didn't care!
"This is a scam, I don't agree!"
"Just stick to the original agreement. If you insist on making me the First Deputy Commander, then I will have no choice but to withdraw from Longyuan."
Long Shuai and Xiao Yu both wore wry smiles; they had long anticipated Qin Feng's reaction upon learning the truth.
Long Shuai pondered for a moment, then grinned. "What if I gave you five hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and two thousand spiritual herbs that were over five hundred years old?"
According to their previous investigation, Qin Feng seemed to be very interested in spiritual herbs, wanting as many as possible.
Qin Feng was speechless. Five hundred thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and two thousand spiritual herbs over five hundred years old. When did spiritual herbs become as common as cabbages?
However, for him, the more spiritual herbs the better. Even if he didn't use them to refine pills, he could still absorb them for cultivation.
It can even be used to support the operation of the formation, so he would never have too many.
