Chapter 723 - 723: Reinforcements
Facing Luna’s concern, Luo Feng just confidently smiled.
“Don’t worry,” he assured her. “Those few of them are no match for me.” After briefing Luna, Luo Feng made his way to Chinatown, revisiting a familiar locale. It was only then that he learned the name of the man from Chinatown: Liu Ying.
Luo Feng had been pondering how to approach and gain entry to the courtyard, but the man who came out to greet him did not recognize Luo Feng. This saved him a lot of trouble.
Arriving at the villa’s courtyard, it was evident from the surroundings that Liu Ying had a refined taste. The design of the courtyard was presumably from a master’s hand, pleasing to the eyes.
“Sir, please come this way.”
The man led the way, with Luo Feng following close behind. Along the route, Luo Feng activated his system scan, trying to pinpoint the location of a particular red dot.
Soon, Luo Feng stood in front of a warehouse-like structure, the place closest to the red dot. This indicated that the antique he sought was inside.
Having identified the location, Luo Feng did not act hastily. Instead, he followed the guide into Liu Ying’s room. Liu Ying was lying in bed, his injured hands hastily treated. He appeared pitiful, but still, he was furiously berating the people in the room.
“What are all of you good for? So many of you, and you can’t even handle one person!”
“I’ve spent so much money on you lot, and not only are you useless, you’re even too frightened to move! What use are anv of you? A bunch of good-for-nothings!”
Liu Ying’s words were filled with anger and frustration, but those being scolded could only hang their heads in shame.
“Boss, the doctor is here.”
This announcement finally allowed the room’s occupants to breathe a sigh of relief. With the doctor’s arrival, Liu Ying’s attention would shift to his treatment.
“Let him in.
As Luo Feng stepped forward, Liu Ying’s face went pale. Recognizing him, Liu Ying’s soul seemed to leap out of his body in shock.
“What’s going on? Who brought this man here?”
Luo Feng chuckled, “Boss, your men summoned me to treat you. Why do you look so terrified upon seeing me?”
Despite his anger, Liu Ying chose to restrain himself. “Leave! I don’t need you to treat me. My situation is none of your concern!”
Luo Feng smirked, “You don’t seem as arrogant as you were this morning. What happened in the meantime?”
Unable to retort against Luo Feng’s sarcasm, Liu Ying could only swallow his pride, aware that his guards were inept and couldn’t stop Luo Feng. “So, what do you want? Did you come here just to mock me?”
Suppressing his rage, Liu Ying was met with Luo Feng’s dismissive gesture.
“Not at all. But if you truly don’t need my medical expertise, then I’ll leave.”
“Then please leave, and thank you.”
Having achieved his purpose, Luo Feng was indifferent to Liu Ying’s attitude and departed. Watching Luo Feng’s retreating figure, Liu Ying was seething with anger.
“You bunch of incompetents! If it wasn’t for your ineptitude, I wouldn’t be enduring this humiliation!”
Liu Ying shouted, but his guards were helpless, knowing they couldn’t take on Luo Feng.
“Someone! Find some powerful gangs and hire some experts for me. Money isn’t an issue. I have only one requirement: they must be skilled!”
“I refuse to believe that this Luo Feng, no matter how formidable, can outdo professional fighters from the gangs.”
“This youngster dares to provoke me; I’ll make him pay in blood.”
Liu Ying’s face was grim, even imagining Luo Feng kneeling and begging for mercy. Just the thought eased the pain in his arms slightly.
Elsewhere, having confirmed that Liu Ying possessed some valuable artifacts, Luo Feng began to contemplate how to acquire them..
