73: Chapter 73 Excuse me, are you stupid?!

On the top floor of the Chunfeng Restaurant, in the Heaven No. 1 private room.

The heavy carved wooden door was pushed open, and a rich scent of cosmetics mixed with the aroma of expensive wine and dishes rushed toward them.

The private room was brightly lit; fist-sized night-luminescent pearls were embedded in the dome, illuminating the entire space as if it were daylight.

Beside the large rosewood round table in the center, only one person was sitting.

Captain of the Fifth Squad, Captain Zhang Yan.

Today, she had changed into an extremely provocative, deep V-neck crimson dress. The neckline was cut very low, and a large expanse of fair, creamy skin was faintly visible with her every breath.

Her long, narrow peach-blossom eyes were slightly upturned, and she toyed with an exquisite glass wine cup in her hand, exuding an air of aloof laziness and arrogance.

Behind her, more than a dozen elite Fifth Squad guards stood with their hands on their blades, and the atmosphere in the entire private room was so oppressive it felt as if it could drip water.

"Step, step, step..."

Qin Feng walked into the private room with his hands behind his back and his expression unchanged.

Chen Pingan, following behind like a diligent shadow, took a large step forward the moment he entered and pulled out the chair directly opposite the large rosewood round table.

"Captain, please sit," Chen Pingan said with a respectful bow, then stood straight as an iron tower, hand on his sword hilt, by his side.

Qin Feng sat down in a bold, unconstrained manner, his deep black eyes sweeping indifferently over Captain Zhang Yan opposite him without saying a word.

Soon, Vice Captain Zhang Hu entered with a gloomy Face, silently giving Chen Pingan a meaningful glare before standing on the opposite side.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, but eventually, someone broke the awkwardness...

"Hehe... Captain Qin, you truly are a young hero with extraordinary spirit."

Captain Zhang Yan set down the glass wine cup, the cold beauty on her Face instantly transforming into a fake, insincere smile.

"I have long heard that the Ninth Squad has a new master. Seeing you today, Captain Qin's style is indeed a bit tougher than that short-lived ghost, Captain Luo Kun."

"Captain Zhang Yan, you set up this banquet at the Chunfeng Restaurant, surely not just to praise my good looks, right?"

Qin Feng leaned back against the chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. "Speak your mind. Of course, if you are feeling amorous, I don't have time for that."

Facing Qin Feng's blunt retort and casual teasing, the smile at the corner of Captain Zhang Yan's mouth stiffened slightly, but she quickly covered it up.

"Fine, since Captain Qin is a straightforward person, I won't beat around the bush."

Captain Zhang Yan sat up straight, putting away her lazy posture, her tone gradually becoming cold and hard.

She said, "Yesterday, without my Fifth Squad's knowledge, my younger brother, Vice Captain Zhang Hu, took men to your Ninth Squad's courtyard. We are all working for the Management Hall, and we originally intended to help you comfort the families of the wounded and defeated soldiers, but as a result—"

Captain Zhang Yan paused, a sharp, cold light erupting from her long, narrow eyes.

She said coldly, "Captain Qin, you didn't ask about right or wrong, beat my brother into a serious injury, and even chased my Fifth Squad's people out like stray dogs!"

"Are you completely disregarding the Fifth Squad and disregarding me, Captain Zhang Yan!"

"So what?"

Qin Feng watched with an expressionless Face, not even missing a beat in his tapping on the tabletop.

"So, there must be an explanation for this matter!"

Captain Zhang Yan slammed the table, her voice raising an octave.

She said, "I, Captain Zhang Yan, have been in the Management Hall for so many years, and I also follow the rules! Since you, Qin Feng, won't give the Fifth Squad Face, then today, you must pick this Face back up for me!"

"Oh? Let's talk it out. How do you want me to pick it up?" Qin Feng smiled, though it didn't quite reach his eyes.

Captain Zhang Yan snorted coldly and extended three fingers painted with bright red nail polish.

She said arrogantly, "First, have that Chen Pingan behind you kneel down immediately and kowtow to apologize to my brother, Vice Captain Zhang Hu! And break one of his own arms!"

"Second, as the captain, you failed to discipline your subordinates strictly; you must bring out three thousand servant coins as compensation!"

"As long as you do this, the matter will be settled. From now on, we will mind our own business. As for how to gain a foothold in the Management Hall, I can even help you out."

Hearing this, Chen Pingan, standing behind Qin Feng, instantly flushed red. Veins bulged on the back of his hand gripping the sword hilt, and he could barely suppress the urge to draw his sword.

Three thousand servant coins? He didn't feel bad about it, as it wasn't his own money.

The problem was, they wanted him to kneel and break his arm?! Captain, please don't endure this; this is simply rubbing the Ninth Squad's dignity into the ground.

Qin Feng, steady as a rock, suddenly laughed.

He stopped tapping the tabletop, leaned forward slightly, and stared straight at Captain Zhang Yan with his deep black eyes.

He retorted, "What if I say no?!"

The fake smile on Captain Zhang Yan's Face instantly vanished without a trace, replaced by extreme coldness and murderous intent.

"Then it seems Captain Qin wants to test how deep the waters of my squad are."

Almost the moment Captain Zhang Yan's voice fell, the dozen or so elite guards behind her stepped forward in unison, and a violent surge of Qi and blood pressure instantly enveloped the entire private room!

Facing the tense, sword-drawn situation, Qin Feng was not only unafraid but the smile on his Face became even richer.

"Let's test it then."

Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and he shook his head as if he had heard a huge joke.

He said coldly, "Going to my territory to beat my people and rob my resources, and now you want me to kneel and apologize? Let me ask you a bold question..."

"Feel free to ask." Captain Zhang Yan's eyes were cold, and her attitude was indifferent.

Nodding, Qin Feng withdrew all his smiles and asked one sentence, word by word:

"May I ask, are you f*cking sick in the head?!"

"Boom——!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the private room seemed to be ignited instantly!

"Little bastard, you are courting death!!!"

Vice Captain Zhang Hu, who was standing behind Captain Zhang Yan, already hated Qin Feng to the bone. Hearing this unscrupulous insult, he completely lost his reason!

"Insulting my sister, I will definitely slaughter you today."

Vice Captain Zhang Hu roared wildly, his terrifying Mortal Stage 9 Qi and blood erupting like a powder keg!

He lunged across the large round table, his massive fist, carrying a shrill whistle that tore through the air, smashing directly toward his Face!

This punch was powerful and heavy, enough to smash the head of an adult wild bull directly!

"Captain, watch out!" Chen Pingan was shocked and wanted to draw his sword to block, but it was already too late.

However, Qin Feng, sitting on the chair, didn't even raise an eyelid.

Just at the moment when the massive fist was less than three inches from his nose,

"Swish!"

Qin Feng's right hand reached out like lightning, moving after but arriving first. His five fingers, like iron tongs made of refined steel, precisely grabbed the other's wrist!

"What?!"

Vice Captain Zhang Hu's pupils shrank sharply. He felt as if his wrist was being tightly pressed by a huge mountain, and no matter how he urged his Mortal Stage 9 Qi and blood, he couldn't move forward a single inch.

"Your sister isn't even making a fuss, and you have the nerve to come out and embarrass yourself?!"

Qin Feng snorted coldly, and the Physical Body strength of his Heavenly Tyrant Body, which could be called abnormal, exploded instantly.

He grabbed Vice Captain Zhang Hu's wrist and yanked it down hard!

"Bang!!!"
