Chapter 99: 99: Barbarians Reappears at Wu family house
Liu Yiru listened in shock, her mouth slightly open. Even though she hadn't seen the man herself, the story was enough to astonish her. However, her initial worry quickly gave way to joy.
If someone that powerful had truly befriended her son, there would be no need for trickery or deceit. He must have formed an honest bond with Ye Fei, and with such a strong ally, her son's path in life would surely be much smoother.
After Liu Fengyi finished recounting the story, she asked Ye Fei, "Xiaoman, did you learn martial arts from your elder brother?"
"You could say that," Ye Fei replied with a smile. "But there are things he's learned from me as well." His response was playful, as his 'elder brother' was, in fact, another identity of his own. In a way, his current self did use techniques learned from his barbarian form, and vice versa.
"He learned from you?" Liu Fengyi was surprised for a moment, then realized that Ye Fei's strength had far exceeded her expectations. She asked curiously, "Who's stronger, you or your elder brother?"
"We're about the same," Ye Fei replied with a chuckle. Since they were the same person, there was no real difference in strength.
"Really?" Both sisters looked at him in shock. They had watched Ye Fei grow up and could hardly believe that their son and nephew had become so powerful, to the point where he could rival someone of inhuman strength.
Seeing their stunned expressions, Ye Fei smiled. This was exactly the effect he had hoped for. He planned to visit the Wu family's base soon, and if his mother and aunt wanted to tag along out of curiosity to meet his "elder brother," it would complicate things.
Plus, he felt uncomfortable with how fascinated they seemed with this non-existent brother. He wanted to make it clear that the man in front of them—himself—was more than enough to satisfy any curiosity.
"I'm taking this guy to my elder brother," Ye Fei said abruptly, before they could react further. He quickly picked up Wu Shiying's body and, in a flash, vanished. The two women only felt a gust of wind as he disappeared from sight.
Once outside the room, Ye Fei tossed Wu Shiying's body into his storage space, feeling a pang of regret. He had recently discovered that he could use this space in both his forms and had wanted to experiment with storing living things.
He should have kept Wu Shiying alive for that test. But it was too late now. Still, the experiment could wait—he could always catch a stray animal or a stray human dog to test it on later.
While Wu Shiying had been boasting earlier, Ye Fei had discreetly used his PDA to gather information about the Wu family. They lived in Linhai City, just under 200 kilometers from Wanghai, which explained why the Wu family had been eager to take over the Autumn Group.
After practicing dual cultivation with his younger sister for a time, Ye Fei's speed had increased significantly. Now, when he ran, even cars on the highway appeared to crawl like snails. At his current pace, it took him less than half an hour to reach Linhai City and stand before the Wu family's manor.
The Wu family, though not particularly wealthy, lived in a grand manor near the sea, about ten kilometers from the city. Its secluded location made it easier for Ye Fei to act without drawing attention.
*BANG
Dressed in his barbarian attire, he didn't bother with pleasantries. With a single kick, he shattered the manor's gate, which normally required a remote control to open. Striding inside, he bellowed in a thunderous voice, "Wu family! Come out and meet your guest!"
The members of the Wu family, all martial artists, were immediately alerted by the loud crash at the gate. Hearing Ye Fei's booming voice, which sounded more like someone calling out in an ancient brothel, they felt a surge of anger and quickly gathered outside. In a matter of moments, more than twenty people surrounded him in the courtyard.
An elderly man, likely in his sixties, stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "My friend, what brings you to the Wu family today?"
This was Wu Qingfeng, the head of the Wu family. Although he hadn't seen Ye Fei destroy the gate, he could easily guess what had happened. Few people in the world had the strength to do such a thing.
And despite Ye Fei's rough appearance, it was clear he was young—possessing such power at his age implied there could be even more powerful figures backing him.
Although the Wu family had grown arrogant in recent years, Wu Qingfeng knew better than to provoke someone with unknown strength. While he believed himself to be quite powerful, he didn't want to risk offending someone stronger, so he spoke with caution and respect.
However, Ye Fei wasn't in the mood for politeness. Surrounded by the Wu family, he remained confident and unfazed. Coldly, he said, "I've come to give you a warning. I don't care about your arrogance in other places, but Wanghai is off-limits to you. If I see any member of the Wu family set foot in Wanghai again, their fate will be the same as his!"
With that, he flung
Wu Shiying's lifeless body onto the ground.
*THUUD
