"It was I who knelt down to Wang Ai, which led the Wang family into the game. It was also me and Na Du Tong Company that joined forces to put pressure on the Wang family step by step, forcing the Wang family into a split."
"Now, Master Lu, with just one word from you, I've handed over the entire list of members of the World Society. Haven't I done enough?"
"Now you're going to take away my decades of hard work with just a few words? Is that fair to me?"
"Does the law of the supernatural world have no effect on you?"
"Is it because I'm not a state-owned enterprise? Is it because I'm not a top-tier company that I have to suffer this fate?"
Feng Zhenghao got quite angry.
The elves and ghosts behind him let out silent wails, and a chilling aura swept through the room, turning it into a gloomy ghost realm.
"I can talk, I can love the world of supernatural beings, so why should being able to do anything allow me to establish a new order and rules?"
"Is there no place for me in the world of supernatural beings?"
Feng Zhenghao's heartfelt words moved even Feng Shayan, who had always thought her father was despicable and shameless.
Yes! How could they treat our Tianxia Group like this?
Just because NaDuTong Company is useful to you?
Faced with Feng Zhenghao's "sincere and heartfelt" words, Lu Xuan slowly uttered three words.
"Noodle Soup Liu".
Feng Shayan was taken aback.
She had never heard of this name before.
A barely perceptible hint of coldness and panic flashed in Feng Zhenghao's eyes as he tried hard to maintain his composure and prevent Lu Xuan from discovering anything.
Stay calm! Don't give yourself away.
After a moment, Feng Zhenghao shook his head with a normal expression and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"I've made myself very clear..."
Lu Xuan looked at Feng Zhenghao, who seemed guilty, and continued speaking.
"Yao Xing Club—Qu Tong!"
How can this be?
A look of fear could no longer be suppressed on Feng Zhenghao's face.
That's right! He knew the Quanxing sect's alias, "Noodle Soup Liu": Liu the Picture, the successor of the former Quanxing master "Noodle Man" Liu.
Liu, the noodle soup vendor, has lived in seclusion in Tianjin for many years. Even few people in the Quanxing sect knew that he had become an ordinary breakfast stall owner in Tianjin.
Even Lu Xuan found the location of Mian Tang Liu by using the wooden signs from when he declared war on the entire Quanxing, thus identifying the guy who disguised himself as the person who attacked the Na Du Tong convoy and killed Deng Youfu.
But here's the problem~
Why would you want to involve Quanxing in such a high-risk operation?
How did they find Liu, the noodle soup maker, who had been living in seclusion for many years?
The attack on the Na Du Tong convoy that killed Deng Youfu could be explained by the fact that the parties involved didn't trust each other, or that they didn't have a suitable master of disguise, so they found someone from the Quanxing sect to disguise and change their appearance.
How did they find Liu the noodle soup, and how did they find Quanxing, who had been living in seclusion for many years?
Only Feng Zhenghao, who entrenched himself in Tianjin, controlled the Tianxiahui (a secret society), and whose tentacles reached every corner of Tianjin, could do this.
Lu Xuan's trip to the Tianjin office was really just a side trip.
Jiang Shijiu jumped too fast. Lu Xuanzhen wasn't there to kill him. At most, his relationship with Feng Zhenghao was just about some business dealings.
The person he found in Noodle Soup Liu's memories, through the few clues, pointed to—
As for why Feng Zhenghao colluded with Yaoxing Society and forces outside the pass to attack Nadutong's convoy and kill Deng Youfu.
It's all about profit.
Chapter 193: "All under heaven are selfish, only the Immortal Master is truly impartial!"
Killing Deng Youfu, not to mention the overseas forces behind Yaoxing Society and the business cooperation brought by those groups outside the Great Wall, would bring a lot of benefits to Tianxia Group.
By hindering the company's plans and instigating conflict between Na Du Tong Company and the Ma faction outside the pass, Na Du Tong Company was forced to make more compromises within the pass, bringing unimaginable benefits to Feng Zhenghao.
Feng Zhenghao has always been an opportunist, and even his other identity—capitalist—has nothing to do with "justice".
Feng Zhenghao only cares about profit; he has never considered the world of supernatural beings.
"Dad, is this true?"
Feng Shayan's eyes were filled with shock.
She knew what kind of person her father was, but she never expected him to be so audacious.
Were all those words you just said false?
"Hohohoho~"
"We were found out after all!"
With an ambiguous smile, Feng Zhenghao's feigned sincerity vanished, revealing a sinister ruthlessness beneath.
Given enough profit, capitalists will not only sell the rope that hangs them, but they might even hang themselves on the execution platform.
Feng Zhenghao didn't regret what he had done; he only regretted that he had been discovered.
I've already erased all traces...
If anyone is to blame, it's Lu Xuan's supernatural abilities; he was able to see through everything even under such circumstances.
If anyone's to blame, it's Lu Xuan who arrived too quickly, leaving him no time to silence him.
If anyone's to blame, it's me for not disguising myself well enough, which allowed Lu Xuan to spot some flaws.
In short, I did nothing wrong!
I just lost.
For Feng Zhenghao, the new world of supernatural beings was merely an opportunity to "leap over the dragon gate."
Just as Wang Ai said before he died, after the Wang family was destroyed, someone would want to become the new Wang family.
Unfortunately, Feng Zhenghao only regretted not seizing this opportunity...
"What? Master Lu, are you going to kill me now?"
A sneer appeared on Feng Zhenghao's face.
"Anyway, you won't miss one more person who dies at your hands."
"Dad, you..."
Feng Shayan wanted to say something, but Feng Zhenghao slapped her away with a burst of black energy, sending her crashing against the wall and knocking her unconscious.
Lu Xuan nodded.
The faint sound of swords seemed to emerge from a distant place, tearing through the void.
Seeing this, Feng Zhenghao fiercely raised his hand.
The feigned smile of relief on his face was eventually replaced by a hint of panic.
I was just pretending, and you actually went ahead and did it?
Feng Zhenghao is certainly afraid of death. Who says that a hero isn't afraid of death?
Especially after acquiring so much wealth and resources, he became even more afraid of death. His willingness to risk his life for profit was simply for the sake of even greater gains.
The feigned composure just now was nothing more than a bargaining chip to delay and negotiate.
"Master Lu, you should be unaware of the Yaoxing Society's scheme, right?"
“The Yaoxing Society has overseas backing, and my cooperation with them over the years goes far beyond this.”
"And also, after all these years of cooperation with Na Du Tong, you don't think everyone in Na Du Tong is clean, do you? And Quanxing..."
"Over the years, I have done a lot of things with Quanxing."
"Actually, there is a group of people in the Tianxia Society working for me in secret."
In a life-or-death situation, Feng Zhenghao frantically laid out all his bargaining chips.
Anyone who has truly witnessed Lu Xuan's prowess has never dared to resist.
Feng Zhenghao witnessed the "dream of the world" firsthand. Lu Xuan took away his Tianxia Group building, which completely shocked him.
Feng Zhenghao was shocked by Lu Xuan's supernatural abilities and made up his mind that he should never be Lu Xuan's enemy.
What a pity, what a pity!
Human greed and a sense of侥幸 (a sense of luck or侥幸心理) ultimately prevailed over simple fear.
Upon hearing that Lu Xuan had come to Tianjin to wipe out the Quanxing sect and that Jiang Shijiu had also committed suicide, Feng Zhenghao had already vaguely guessed everything.
But they still tried to bury their heads in the sand and cover it all up.
Handing over the list of members of the World Society was his last effort—those on the list were naturally from the World Society, and those not on the list were obviously not…
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan arrived too quickly.
Just like how they wiped out the remaining Quanxing in Tianjin overnight after arriving there.
If Lu Xuan hadn't come to Tianjin, Mian Tang Liu would have died today in a "street fight," "unintentionally" killed by a Quanxing gangster named Zhao Ritian.
If all goes well, I should become the new "royal family" in the new world of supernatural beings.
Just like the "Wang Family" who established the world of supernatural beings and created the order that continues to this day.
Unfortunately, no if.
As he spoke, Feng Zhenghao displayed his classic skills.
A man's knees are worth gold; now is the time to cash in.
"Master Lu, I know I was wrong. I swear to God that I will be loyal to you from now on, and I will give you all the wealth of my Tianxia Group."
"And what about my World Society? You must have some things you need to do in secret, right?"
"I am willing to be your knife."
