Chapter 99: The Thought of Rebellion

  "Hum, presumptuous! You young whippersnapper, you......"

  Zhen Hong's words were cut off as his face suddenly changed color, and he violently retreated, instinctively drawing the large knife from his waist and holding it up in defense.

  "Bang!"

  For a moment, weapons clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

  What a close call!

  Zhen Hong looked at Lin Feng who suddenly appeared in front of him, and was instantly frightened out of his wits. If it weren't for the intuition he had developed from years of fighting with others, and his body's instinctive reaction, he would probably be dead by now.

  He really didn't expect his opponent's speed to be so terrifying, and when he appeared, there was no sign at all.

  "Oh? I didn't think you really had a few tricks up your sleeve!"

  Lin Feng looked at his opponent in surprise, he had already secretly used the double skill and critical hit skill just now, but unexpectedly neither of them could kill the opponent with one blow, it seemed that he still needed to work hard to kill the opponent.

  In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng disappeared once again.

  Zhen Hong took one look and was frightened, cold sweat bursting forth. The previous time he had been able to block Lin Feng's attack was purely luck, if it happened again, he didn't know if he would have the good fortune to block another blow. So he hastily called out to the people on the other side who were staring blankly: "Aren't you coming over to help? Are you waiting for me to die before taking action?"

  Those people were staring at the fight between Lin Feng and the two of them with their eyes wide open, shocked to the core. They really couldn't believe that this young man, who looked even younger than them, could actually fight their captain to a draw, not falling behind, and could even be said to have gained the upper hand. Were they seeing things? This was just too unbelievable!

  When they heard Zhen Hong yelling at them, they suddenly woke up and rushed forward with their own weapons.

  In an instant, there were twelve or thirteen people surrounding them. Apart from the ten people with Feng Ze, almost everyone else had come to help.

  Due to Zhen Hong's limited strength, the number of people in the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group was only around thirty or so. Excluding the dozen or so people that Zhen Liang had taken away earlier, the entire mercenary group now only had the people present before them.

  "Ze Ge, why are you blocking our way? Why won't you let us go up and help?" asked Shen Xing, the thin young man from before.

  Just now they heard Zhen Hong's shout and were about to go forward to help, but were blocked by Feng Ze.

  Feng Ze's eyes stared intently ahead, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Not for now, if you all go, not only will you be unable to help the captain, but you'll also cause your own people to be busy and flustered, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage."

  His eyes, however, were fixed tightly on the figure of a young man who was constantly moving among the crowd. His brow furrowed in thought, wondering what kind of person this was. Judging from his strength, he seemed to have already reached the level of a Xuanjiang general. To have such strength at such a young age, his background must not be simple. If he killed Zhen Hong, should I surrender myself to him?

  It's no wonder he would think that way, don't look at his position as deputy commander of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps, with a high status, but the benefits he gets are not much more than those ordinary members, most of the money is basically divided by Zhen Hong and his two uncles.

  Although they didn't say anything with their mouths, they were still very dissatisfied in their hearts, especially him who urgently needed money to treat his sister's illness.

  But what's even more infuriating is that he clearly remembers one day, his sister suddenly contracted a serious illness, so he invited a renowned doctor.

  The doctor gave him a prescription after examining his sister and asked him to buy the medicine according to the ingredients listed, most of which he had already purchased.

  There was only one kind of herb called "Bing Xin Lan" that he couldn't buy, because it was extremely expensive, with a single plant costing 10,000 taels. At that time, the money in his hand was not enough, so he thought of coming to Zhen Hong's place to borrow a few tens of thousands of taels first, because he considered that he would need to replenish supplies and other things later, so he wanted that much.

  Little did he know that he would suffer an unforgettable event in his life.

  He had thought that with his many years of "meritorious service", borrowing a few tens of thousands of taels of silver would not be difficult, but in fact, he was overthinking.

  "What? Several tens of thousands of taels? You're not joking, are you? Just for your crippled sister, you want us to lend you several tens of thousands of silver taels. Have you woken up from your dream? Are you daydreaming too much? What's your relationship with us that we should lend you money?"

  Zhen Liangyi sprang up from his chair as soon as he heard it, shouting with spittle flying everywhere.

  Suddenly, Zhen Liang's eyes rolled over and seemed to think of something. He then changed his tone and said: "However, your sister looks pretty good too. Alright, since you're one of our own people, I'll give you a preferential treatment."

  "What conditions?"

  Zhen Liang smiled slyly and stared at Feng Ze, saying with a smile: "As long as you agree to me, after she recovers from her illness, let her accompany me for one night, and I'll immediately give you the money. Hehe, it's because I consider you one of our own that I'm taking care of you like this. If someone else asked me, I might not even be willing to give it to them."

  "You!"

  Feng Ze's eyes turned slightly red as he glared at Zhen Liang, his eyeballs almost popping out in anger.

  Others don't know how Zhen Liang is, but does he not know his own reputation? If she really agreed to him, her sister's happiness would probably be completely ruined by him in the future. This was something that absolutely could not be agreed to.

  "Alright, Alyan, how can you set such a condition when Fengze is also one of us?" Zhen Hong, seated in the main seat, raised his hand to stop Zhen Liang and smiled at Fengze.

  "It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, Feng Ze. It's just that our mercenary group has had a lot of expenses lately, so we can't take out that much silver at the moment. How about this: I'll give you 5,000 taels for now to tide you over, and then when our finances are more stable in a few months, I'll give you some more?"

  What a huge expense, it's all nonsense! You think 50,000 yuan can buy me? Don't even think about it. Don't assume I don't know that you two have an income of at least 1 million yuan each month, and all that money was earned by this brother with his life on the line, but unfortunately most of it is now in the hands of these two people.

  At this moment, Feng Ze almost had the idea of killing these two people with one breath, of course, if he had the strength to do so.

  However, as a strategist in the mercenary group, he wouldn't do such a thing, and he didn't have the power to do so yet. For now, he could only endure.

  He took a deep breath and put on a stiff smile, saying to Zhen Hong with great gratitude: "Thank you, Captain!"

  Zhen Hong seemed very satisfied with the other's expression, nodded, and let Zhen Liang give Feng Ze five thousand taels.

  When the wind came out, his face had already turned completely black, and his eyes were cold and sharp. He looked at the five tickets in his hand, almost unable to bear tearing them up, but finally restrained this impulse and put the money into his pocket.

  In order to treat his sister's illness, he eventually borrowed money from others, gathering it bit by bit, and among them, the nine people around him contributed the most, so today, he would stop these people to go help.

  Because he knew that if he went up to help, these people would probably lose their lives as a result.

  Because he saw Lin Feng not choosing to escape when faced with so many people, but instead charging forward. A person like this either has extremely strong abilities or is confident in escaping from the encirclement of so many people, and he firmly believes it's the former.

  Everyone heard Feng Ze say this and it seemed to make sense, so they all stayed there, their eyes fixed on the situation on the battlefield...
