There was complete silence.
Gasps could be heard in the conference hall. Chen Feng's deterrence was on full display at this moment.
Even Xu Hongzhuang's gorgeous face was full of shock. She had fought with Chen Feng several times, but she had never seen him use such a long-range attack. More importantly, he did not waste any time talking nonsense. Instead, he used the simplest method to shut Tian Jian's mouth.
Dead.
A professional who had contributed greatly to Qiaodong had his internal organs pierced and died on the ground.
Thud!
Chen Feng was wearing simple linen clothes. His expression was calm, without any hesitation or worry that one would have after killing someone. However, this did not affect his deterrence at all. Instead, he gave others a sense of fear of the unknown.
He swept his gaze across the crowd in front of him. His gaze was indifferent, but there were still many who did not dare to look him in the eye. Instead, they chose to lower their heads.
"Trash like you who are clamoring may not understand the importance of the news just now. Then, I will say it again."
He would not rest until he was shocked to death.
Among those who had followed Tian Jian earlier, there was no lack of professions and battle group captains. Compared to Chen Feng, they were all senior members of Qiaodong. Yet now, these experts, who had both strength and influence, were being called trash. This was no longer a provocation. Rather, it was a blatant humiliation.
But what was the result?
No one dared to stand up and criticize him.
Why?
The corpse under their feet was the best reason.
More importantly, these people had the ability to observe people's expressions. They looked at Xu Hongzhuang, who was originally the leader, but now she looked like a yes-man. How could they not know that the Qiaodong in front of them might have changed long ago?
It turned out that they had found the wrong target. The mastermind who conspired against Qiaodong and suppressed everything behind the scenes was not Xu Hongzhuang, but the young man in front of them!
They were more surprised than angry.
Under such circumstances, everyone only felt that they had eaten a mouthful of yellow lotus. The bitterness spread from their tongue to their heart. Since when did an outsider do this without anyone noticing?!
Fear.
Then, a great fear shrouded them.
Including Tian Jian, the reason why they were so aggressive just now was because they knew Xu Hongzhuang's character too well. She was upright and plainspoken, and her eyes could not tolerate sand. This girl, for everything, paid attention to the word 'reason'. It was precisely because of this that they used Feng Zhiyong's experience to threaten Xu Hongzhuang.
They knew that due to psychological pressure, Xu Hongzhuang would make some concessions. In fact, during this period of time, they had taken advantage of Xu Hongzhuang's weakness to seize some power. It was because of Xu Hongzhuang's concessions that their arrogance was encouraged.
But now …
These people strangely discovered that the real culprit behind the scenes was someone else. The so-called elder's identity was no longer a weakness, but a talisman that would hasten their deaths.
A leader, a leader, a minister.
If their guesses were correct, then old officials like them would undoubtedly be a thorn in the other party's side. Give in? He didn't even need to think about it. Perhaps the other party couldn't wait for him to die!
Thinking of all this, they looked at each other and saw some palpitations and fear in each other's eyes.
Chen Feng did not pay attention to their actions. Instead, he said in a somewhat deep voice, "I now have accurate information. In the depths of Qiao Xi, there is a powerful existence. That existence is astonishingly powerful. Once it attacks, with the current strength of Qiao Dong and Jing Kai, it will be impossible for them to defend themselves. Therefore, I need to make preparations as soon as possible. Everyone needs to put in all their effort to defend themselves.
"Once the city is breached, it will not be one or two casualties. It will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties. No one can bear the responsibility. So, anyone who neglects or disobeys orders will be convicted of treason. Anyone, regardless of status or strength, who disobeys orders will die!"
Chen Feng stopped talking.
His gaze swept across the faces of the people who were the fiercest and said, "Tian Xuefeng is stubborn and must be punished. So, who is against this decision? You? You? Or you? "
"No! I have no objection. "
"I have no objection either."
"I … I have no objection either. I will strictly carry out Colonel Xu's orders!"
These people were all old foxes. At this time, their heads were like rattle-drums, shaking wildly. They were afraid that the other party would hold a grudge against them and kill them on the ground like Tian Jian.
"Good. In that case, Xu Zhe, I will leave this matter to you. I will give you three days to complete it."
"Yes, Sir!"
Xu Zhe was expressionless and agreed immediately.
The only thing he cared about was Liang Jingyao's life. Everyone and everything was built on this premise. If Tian Xuefeng didn't agree with him, the Magic Crystal Cannons couldn't be built. Without defensive weapons, the two cities would be in danger. How could Liang Jingyao protect herself when danger came?
Xu Zhe's belief was very simple. Anything that harmed Liang Jingyao must be destroyed with lightning speed.
Xu Hongzhuang was a little flustered. After hearing Chen Feng's order, she said, "We can take it slow. Tian Xuefeng …"
"Enough!"
Chen Feng shouted angrily. He stared into her eyes and said sternly, "You should know the current situation. One wrong step and you will lose everything. I cannot affect the overall situation because of one person. I have my own plans for this matter. You don't have to worry about it."
After that, he walked out of the door without looking back.
Xu Hongzhuang clenched her fists. Her face was a little red. But so what? She still stood aside obediently and watched Chen Feng walk out of the door. His figure gradually disappeared.
After witnessing this scene, the surrounding senior executives further confirmed their thoughts. Some of the more active speculators even had the idea of changing their allegiance to another organization.
Chen Feng.
Because of this, this simple name was engraved in the minds of these people.
…
In a dark and damp prison covered with moss, Tian Xuefeng leaned against the wall. His clothes were ragged and his face was covered with stubble. His only remaining arm and legs were tied with iron chains. He was forced to stand on the ground. Even though he was a strong man at the peak of the Silver Level, this kind of torture still made him a little exhausted.
He was known for his vulgarity. In the Parliament Hall, he had criticized Hong Jiuling more than once and even scolded him. His barbaric style was well known. He was once the new leader of Qiaodong. In terms of qualifications, the man who built the Magic Crystal Cannons and enhanced weapons had a stronger advantage than Xu Hongzhuang.
However, things did not go as he wished. In the end, he was the one who lost. Two years ago, his free life ended. He was imprisoned in this prison like a prisoner.
"So, have you made up your mind?" A voice came from the door of the prison.
Tian Xuefeng opened his eyes. Because of the lack of water, his lips were cracked. He smiled and said mockingly, "Dude, the environment here is beautiful. Your grandpa is just enjoying his life. What do you want me to do? Oh, building weapons, right? Sorry, I don't have time. "
Xu Zhe was not angry.
This guy who was willing to fall into the darkness for a woman in his previous life was now showing amazing patience.
A bucket of ice water was poured directly on Tian Xuefeng's body. The sound of cold water dripping on the ground was particularly clear in the silent basement.
Tian Xuefeng took a deep breath. No matter how strong he was, he had been starving for two consecutive days. He had not eaten or drunk any water. His body's function had been greatly reduced. At this time, this bucket of ice water was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
He spat out a mouthful of turbid air. He completely ignored the pain and smiled at Xu Zhe, "Lackey from the Order, don't think that I don't know anything. I know Xu Hongzhuang's character very well. She is really loyal to Feng Zhiyong. Otherwise, we wouldn't have helped her build her reputation. From a useless girl to the Valkyrie that the whole city knows! The Valkyrie! "
"But … everything changed when your master, Chen Feng, came. The Xu Hongzhuang of the past has become so strange. She did not hesitate to fall out with us to seize control of Qiaodong. Hong Jiuling is a demon, but your master is also a monster in human skin! I make weapons for people to use, not for animals to use! Tell Chen Feng to give up. No matter what, I will not make another Magic Crystal Cannon for you! "
Tian Xuefeng was very clear. From his words, he might have already known who was in charge of Qiaodong.
Xu Zhe was not angered by this. This young man who had strengthened his brain and had been guided by Chen Feng all this while was not answering his question directly. He said, "You are 47 years old now. In this apocalypse, your family members have either died or been injured. The only one that can be considered as a direct relative is your son, right?"
Tian Xuefeng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shut his mouth.
Xu Zhe opened a box, and inside was a strand of hair. Although it was only a strand of hair, Tian Xuefeng's pupils shrank to a thin line.
"You bunch of bastards. My son has not offended anyone. He is lying on a sickbed. What has he done to offend you? If you dare to touch him, I will not let you off even if I become a ghost. "
Tian Xuefeng glared angrily, and his chest rose and fell violently. It was as if he was about to break out of a cage, and he gave off a terrifying aura.
Yes.
When the apocalypse arrived, Tian Xuefeng's son was unfortunately targeted by the Crimson Blood Centipede. When Tian Xuefeng and the others rushed back, his only son's legs had already been swallowed. Since then, he had taken care of his son with great care and took on the responsibility of a father.
Xu Zhe said calmly, "Master said that a leader must know how to be tolerant. This time, it was only a strand of hair. Next time, I don't know if I will accidentally cut off other parts of his body.
"Sir, everything is for Qiaodong. You may not understand now, but that is not important. What is important is that you must serve Sir, and you must serve Sir. I have a lot of patience to play with you, but what about your son? How many times does he have to wait for me to visit him? "
"Is a breath of resentment important? Or is the responsibility of a father more important? I don't know. So, can you tell me the answer? "
This senior official of Qiaodong would fly into a rage because of the slightest thing. He was even considered the most troublesome person in Qiaodong. But now, he did not scold or reprimand him.
In the cage, Tian Xuefeng, who was being threatened, lowered his head and did not look at the other party. However, everyone knew that he had already chosen an answer.
Compromise.
