44: 44. New abilities
Lu Feng calmly said, "Yu Tianxiong, an orphan from Binhai City, went to Southeast Asia twenty years ago with only five thousand yuan and started from scratch.
He eventually rose from a small vendor to become the controller of the largest energy company in the region, not only accumulating tens of billions in wealth but also marrying Li Wanrong, the daughter of a local official, and enjoying a life of luxury.
Your first half of life can be called a legend."
Yu Tianxiong's breathing quickened, his pupils trembled, and he began to shiver all over.
"Unfortunately, you thought you would go higher and further, but... a nightmare suddenly descended.
Your wife married you with an ulterior motive.
On the surface, she treated you with respect, but secretly, she colluded with your father-in-law, Li Fang, to frame you, fabricating evidence of money laundering, illegal business operations, and murder, seizing all your assets, and planning to keep you in prison until you died.
However... seeing the situation was dire, you found an opportunity to escape."
"You were chased for two days and two nights in the rainforest, barely escaping with your life.
Perhaps it wasn't your time to die, as you managed to flee back into Xia Country's borders.
But you knew they wouldn't let you go, and coupled with your despair, you've been wandering for the past few years..."
With each word Lu Feng spoke, Yu Tianxiong's face grew more pained.
He clutched his head and shrieked hysterically, "Stop talking! Who... who exactly are you? Why do you know these things?"
"In my eyes, there are no secrets in this world."
Lu Feng squatted down, looking directly into his bloodshot eyes, and said faintly, "Do you want revenge? I can help you."
Yu Tianxiong was incredulous: "With just you?"
Lu Feng smiled: "Yes, with just me."
As he spoke, he picked up a shard of glass from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and then, without warning, plunged it into Yu Tianxiong's neck.
The speed was so swift that Yu Tianxiong didn't even react.
Blood instantly gushed out, spraying a crimson fan shape on the ground.
Yu Tianxiong's eyes widened.
He could feel the tearing of flesh and blood, his hand gripping his neck tightly, blood overflowing from his mouth, as he said unwillingly, "You... you..."
Lu Feng smiled ambiguously: "What about me?"
Yu Tianxiong hated himself for being so careless.
The other party was indeed the assassin sent by that woman.
He was about to fight back, even if he died, he would bite off a piece of the other party's flesh.
Before he could lunge, he was horrified to discover that the blood that had just stained the ground was gone.
He touched his neck again; the glass shard that had been plunged into his neck was also gone, and even the viscous blood plasma had disappeared at some unknown point.
Eerie!
The atmosphere became incredibly eerie.
Lu Feng smiled, picked up the glass shard again, and drew a deep cut on his hand.
However, the next second, the wound visibly healed.
Yu Tianxiong was utterly horrified, staring at the other party's ambiguously smiling face, momentarily stunned, then engulfed by tension and fear.
That was absolutely not an illusion just now.
He could clearly feel the pain, but... why?
As a business magnate who once stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid, he had seen many things in this world: curses from witch doctors, manipulation by master hypnotists, but everything could be explained by science.
Only this scene before him completely shattered his decades of accumulated understanding.
Lu Feng said faintly, "Yu Tianxiong, if I want to, you can die a thousand times in my world."
Boom!!!
Yu Tianxiong felt a chill surge from his tailbone, rushing straight to his head... This was... supernatural power?!
Yu Tianxiong's mind buzzed.
He couldn't believe such an existence was possible in this world?
Lu Feng snapped his fingers.
Yu Tianxiong came back to his senses.
He looked up, reverently gazing at the mysterious young man before him.
His heart, originally as despairing as a rock, began to soften, and the desire for revenge spread like wildfire.
He thought of how he had toiled for decades in a foreign land, all his hard work, everything, all taken away by that woman.
The shy look on her face at the wedding, the sudden attack at the board meeting, and the angry curses during the chase in the rainforest... He loved her so much, devoted his whole self to her, only to receive an extremely cold, mocking smile, and that utterly sarcastic remark: "You're just a pig we raised; now it's time to slaughter you."
He had thought he would never be able to get revenge, but now, the opportunity had arrived.
The flames of hatred in Yu Tianxiong's heart burned fiercely, impossible to quell.
He didn't hesitate, kneeling heavily on the ground, letting out a long-suppressed roar: "I want revenge, please, as long as they die, I'll do anything! My life is yours!"
Lu Feng took out a wad of money and placed it in front of him, saying, "Go clean yourself up first.
Come see me at Xiantao Street at eight tonight.
Don't disappoint me."
With that, Lu Feng turned and left.
After passing through the dirty grove and leaving from under the stuffy bridge, Lu Feng took a deep breath of fresh air, calming the slight ripples in his heart.
After feeling his skill evolve that morning, he had been pondering the use of this change.
Since he could detach himself, could he also turn the tables or create dream scenarios within his own consciousness?
Therefore, he had unhesitatingly initiated forced entry into a dream just now.
Before he plunged the glass shard into Yu Tianxiong's neck, both of them were already in a dream, but under Lu Feng's dream control, the dream scenario was exactly the same as the real scene.
Although it was a dream, it was Lu Feng's first time personally stabbing someone, and it still made him feel a bit uncomfortable, his heart racing wildly!
As for why he sought out Yu Tianxiong.
Ultimately, Lu Feng was just one person, with limited energy and experience, and some matters were not suitable for him to handle as a student.
Therefore, the role of a proxy was very necessary.
And the once influential business magnate Yu Tianxiong was Lu Feng's ideal candidate...
Under the bridge, Yu Tianxiong stared blankly in the direction Lu Feng had left, his blood boiling.
If it weren't for the wad of money still on the ground, he would have surely thought he was having mental issues.
Then, a tingling sensation swept through his entire body.
Yu Tianxiong picked up the money and stood up, gasping for air, quickly adjusting his mindset.
He glanced at the braised pork leg rice box on the ground, sat down directly, opened it, and ravenously ate, stuffing his mouth full until not a single grain of rice was left.
As he stood up to leave, he gathered all his belongings and then set them on fire.
The decadent past had to be bid farewell; he was ready to embrace a new life.
Yu Tianxiong first took Lu Feng's money to a roadside clothing store to buy a new set of clothes, then found a cheap motel and thoroughly washed himself from head to toe.
Perhaps because he hadn't bathed in so long, he stayed in the bathroom for half an hour, and the water flowing off his body was still murky.
Looking at his shoulder-length hair in the mirror, he found a pair of scissors and cut his hair short, revealing chiseled features.
Before long, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle, a beard, and eyes full of vicissitudes appeared in the mirror.
"Li Wanrong... wait for me to come back and claim your life."
