The hotel was filled with a thick smell of blood, making Tiger Fang team leader Panya feel increasingly uneasy.
Huzi and the others might have been killed by monsters. But it was more likely that a martial artist had struck in the dark. And ordinary martial artists would not dare to offend Young Master Li Wei. This must be someone with a grudge against his Tiger Fang Squad.
He knew very well this young master’s identity. Although he was of mixed blood, his father was Chinese.
Regardless of his father’s own strength or background, it was enough to ensure that very few people would dare to provoke Young Master Li Wei.
“No need.” Elder Liu waved his hand. “With me and Kalon here, the young master’s safety is absolutely guaranteed.”
The burly white man also glanced at the Tiger Fang Squad members and gave a cold smile.
“Young Master Li,” Panya could not help looking toward the mixed race youth.
“My training plan is not finished yet,” the mixed race youth frowned.
Elder Liu slightly frowned and said, “As a martial artist, one is always walking on the edge of life and death. For a little uncertainty, how can you always be so fearful? How can you achieve anything in the future?”
Panya and the others did not respond.
“At most, you four just stay with us. That should be enough.” As soon as Elder Liu said this, Panya and the other Tiger Fang Squad members exchanged looks and gave up the idea of returning to the base city. They also knew that staying with two advanced combat generals was indeed very safe.
“Elder Liu is right. Always fearing danger, are we still warriors? If someone really dares to ambush us, we will just kill them on sight.” A cold light flashed in Panya’s eyes.
“We will listen to Elder Liu,” the one eyed middle aged man said with a smile.
The Tiger Fang Squad members all agreed to follow Elder Liu’s arrangement.
“This place is full of blood, let us move somewhere else,” Elder Liu said.
Immediately, the Thunder team of seven left the Jinjiang chain hotel.
From his original hiding place, Luo Feng silently observed through binoculars.
“They really left the Jinjiang hotel.” Within Luo Feng’s field of vision, the seven members of the Thunder team walked along the street for a while, then unexpectedly disappeared from sight.
“Damn, this villa is too low, the viewing range is limited.”
Luo Feng quickly picked up his backpack, shield, and battle blade, then shot out like a leopard, sprinting into a high rise residential building opposite. The building had 18 floors. With the support of his spiritual force, even his shield and blade did not slow him down, allowing him to move at extreme speed.
A blur of motion flashed through the stairwell.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
In just a few seconds, he went from the first floor to the eighteenth floor. In an apartment on the eighteenth floor, Luo Feng stood by the north window with binoculars, looking down. From this height, the view was much clearer. Soon he saw the Thunder team of seven walking along the street, slowly moving forward, before finally entering a dilapidated six storey residential building.
“I wonder if my preparations have worked,” Luo Feng narrowed his eyes. “Whether they work or not is up to fate.”
“Keep waiting for the opportunity.”
Luo Feng continued his stakeout.
As a martial artist, patience and perseverance are essential. Without them, how could one possess such strength? Luo Feng’s solitary waiting was well within his endurance.
On the first day, the Thunder team went out hunting again in the afternoon, all seven of them together.
On the second day, they went out once in the morning and once in the afternoon, still all seven together. Luo Feng had no chance at all.
On the third day, it was the same, morning and afternoon, all seven together again.
“It seems the Tiger Fang Squad really is suspicious now,” Luo Feng said, sitting on the slightly cleaned bed in his room, quietly looking out the window. It was already deep night, stars filling the sky, their light shining faintly into the room. A faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
“What should I do?” Luo Feng frowned.
At this rate, once that mixed race young master finished his training plan, they would likely return to the base city.
Buzz.
His wrist communicator vibrated slightly. He looked down, it was a call from his younger brother.
“Return call,” Luo Feng gave a voice command.
Beep, beep, beep.
“Hello, brother!” came Luo Hua’s voice.
“Luo Hua, what made you think of calling me?” Luo Feng smiled, feeling genuinely happy.
“I miss you,” Luo Hua said casually and happily. “Brother, I made another big profit in the stock market recently, really big.”
“Oh? How did you make it?” Luo Feng asked with a smile.
Luo Hua excitedly explained that he had invested in eight stocks, six of them strong performing stocks and two short term speculative ones. One of the strong stocks suddenly plummeted, but after careful analysis he believed the company itself had no issues, so he kept buying more during the drop. It fell nearly 50 percent, then suddenly surged back up and even exceeded its original price. His capital had doubled in a single move.
Luo Feng could hear the excitement in his voice through the communicator.
“So impressive, you are better than your brother,” Luo Feng laughed. “You are already sitting on over a hundred million now, right?”
After Luo Feng previously gave him another 50 million, Luo Hua’s principal should have been just over 80 million.
“Yeah, now I am managing about 170 million,” Luo Hua said proudly. “Brother, it is mainly because you gave me the initial capital. Without that, I could not have made so much.”
Luo Feng sighed inwardly. No wonder people say finance makes money easily. Money really does make money. The larger the capital, the more exaggerated the returns. Of course, losses would be equally severe.
“But brother, these kinds of opportunities are not common,” Luo Hua added.
“Mhm.”
Luo Feng then transferred 180 million to his brother’s account through his communicator.
“Ah!” Luo Hua exclaimed. “Brother, my account just received…”
“Use it for trading,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “If one day your trading capital reaches 15 billion, I will give you a big surprise.”
“15 billion?” Luo Hua gasped.
“Do not worry, I will also keep adding capital for you,” Luo Feng said.
With that, Luo Hua’s funds plus his own money would eventually reach around 30 billion.
With enough money, he could try to obtain the Life Water and help his brother stand up again.
“Alright, brother, I will work hard,” Luo Hua said enthusiastically.
“Good. Rest early.”
They ended the call.
…
In Luo Feng’s home in Mingyue Community, in Luo Hua’s room on the first floor, he excitedly closed his phone and then opened a video chat.
“Huazi, you look very happy,” the girl on the video smiled.
“Of course I am happy,” Luo Hua replied.
The girl was his girlfriend Xiao Nan, a gentle looking girl with short hair.
Xiao Nan’s university was local, so she still lived at home.
At that moment, in the living room outside her room, her parents were sitting on the sofa watching TV, though their attention was clearly elsewhere.
“What should we do?” the woman said anxiously. “You know Xiao Nan’s temper. If we forcefully break them up, she will hate us.”
“Let her hate us then. We are doing this for her good,” the man said angrily.
“She has never suffered in her life and thinks everything is like a fairy tale. Our daughter is not bad in looks or character. Why must she be with a cripple? His brother is a martial artist, so what? It is not his brother she is dating.”
“I cannot watch our daughter jump into a pit of fire.”
“If it were not for what Old Li told me, I would not even know she has been secretly meeting that cripple from Mingyue Community. It is infuriating.”
