185: Chapter 185 Call me Big Brother! If you don't, I'll send this to Huangfu Jing!

Su Ming stood on the edge of the crater, which was in complete shambles.

He looked down at the man sitting on the charred soil, wailing loudly.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng, Young Lord of the Hunter Association, a Tier 6 Earth-element Awakened.

Right now, he was wiping away tears without any regard for his image, snot mixed with black ash smeared all over his chin, his shoulders heaving, his face full of the despair of lost love.

Su Ming stroked his chin.

When he accompanied Shen Qingci back to the Scrap Yard yesterday afternoon, he had happened to hear her mention this Young Master of the Gu Family's history of chasing his wife.

He sent gifts to Commander Huangfu Jing regularly every quarter, and even though they were rejected, he hadn't stopped for three years.

At the time, he just thought it was a joke.

Now that he saw the person himself, he actually felt this uncle was somewhat comically cute.

Whether it was the Blue Star where he worked himself to death from overtime, or this high-martial world, a "pure love war god" was a rare species everywhere.

However, apart from his sharp tongue, this Young Master wasn't actually that annoying.

The provocation at the beginning was triggered by his own "uncle" comment.

The fact that he avoided vital points and only aimed for the shoulder when unleashing the Extreme Imperial Sand Nails just now showed he was being deliberate.

Su Ming could tell that level of accuracy.

With 1,700 tons of strength in his hands, watching these people make a scene was about the same as watching two poodles fight in the apartment complex downstairs.

But if the poodle had the largest private armed force and Source Beast hunting ground in the entire Federation tied to its back...

Then it was worth bending down to pet it.

A mischievous smirk hooked the corner of Su Ming's mouth.

He raised his wrist and pressed lightly on his black military terminal.

The camera was aimed at Young Master Gu Lingfeng on the ground.

High-definition quality. Panoramic audio.

He recorded the entire miserable scene of him wailing and crying without missing a single detail.

After finishing this, Su Ming walked over and kicked Young Master Gu Lingfeng's calf.

"Hey, stop crying. You're a grown man."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng looked up abruptly, his eye sockets still red, his face full of a complex expression that read: "You jerk who stole my ultimate move, how dare you try to comfort me."

Su Ming squatted down to look him in the eye.

"You can't beat me; you have to accept this fact. In the future, don't just throw money and status around to pressure people; it's useless."

He paused, a thought occurring to him.

Four Extreme Imperial Sand Nails appeared out of thin air and slowly landed on the gravel in front of Young Master Gu Lingfeng.

The dark gold luster flashed in the sunlight.

"Take that one as you paying for a lesson. The rest, I'm returning to you."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng was stunned.

Not far away, Instructor Lin Yan and Instructor Shen Yuee's pupils shrank simultaneously.

Just a moment ago, those sand nails had been completely locked by the other party's ability field; now, to release them just like that and have them stop with pinpoint precision in front of their owner...

Telekinesis? Or gravity manipulation?

In just a few short minutes, this teenager had given them too many shocks.

Monstrous defense, monstrous attack, the financial power to not even blink at a hundred million, and now this incredible power of object control.

When did such a Genius appear in the Federation?

Young Master Gu Lingfeng stared at the four sand nails that he had regained, reaching out to collect them into his body one by one.

The feeling of the missing one was like having a tooth knocked out, constantly reminding him of his earlier humiliation.

But he still straightened his body, put away his embarrassment, and looked stubborn.

"Don't think you've won just because of this."

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

"I won't give up!" Young Master Gu Lingfeng gritted his teeth. "You're stronger than me, I admit that. But in the field of love... do you dare to compete with me fairly? Don't use your 'money power' to keep Jingjing!"

Su Ming rolled his eyes, almost losing his composure.

Compete with you, my foot.

He leaned down, got close to Young Master Gu Lingfeng's ear, and lowered his voice.

"Uncle, let me tell you a secret."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng shrank back vigilantly.

"I'm the type of person who doesn't like to keep others."

Su Ming said with a straight face, "I like being kept."

"...Ah?"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng blinked, his brain circuit failing to keep up for a moment.

Su Ming stood up straight.

"Stop being jealous for no reason. The one I'm interested in is Commander Huangfu Jing's student."

"To be precise, I want her to keep me."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's brain spun at high speed.

Commander Huangfu Jing's student... Shen Qingci?

That young girl with a cold temperament?

He had seen her once. Youthful and beautiful, fair-skinned and pretty, with a pair of long legs.

She was indeed not inferior to Commander Huangfu Jing, even more outstanding in some ways.

But... wasn't she still too young?

But this wasn't important!

What was important was... he wasn't going after Jingjing!

Young Master Gu Lingfeng felt the dark clouds above his head disperse, the prairie instantly turning into blue skies and white clouds.

Even the pain of losing that one sand nail faded by thirty percent instantly.

He even laughed out loud.

But halfway through laughing, he realized something.

Wait, the second half of what he said... keep?

An interstellar black card with one billion... was that given by that little girl?

Holy crap!

What kind of family are they from? What kind of status?

Young Master Gu Lingfeng subconsciously looked at Su Ming's face.

No, this intelligence must die in his stomach. Otherwise, if his old man found out about that girl's background, he'd probably force him to go suck up to Shen Qingci again.

I only acknowledge Commander Huangfu Jing!

A little beauty can certainly grow into a big beauty,

But I can have a little beauty with a big beauty!

The logic is a perfect loop!

Su Ming didn't know what was going on in Young Master Gu Lingfeng's head; he only saw this guy suddenly start leering at the air, the curve of his mouth becoming increasingly weird.

Forget it, it's too painful to look at.

"Alright, alright." Young Master Gu Lingfeng stood up abruptly, patted the dust off his butt, as if he had completely figured something out.

Not a love rival, crushing strength, and endless money...

If you don't bind yourself to such a person, are you waiting to be snatched away by others?

What's more, having such a thigh that can hammer a Peak Tier 6 Beast King to death with one punch...

Wouldn't he be able to walk sideways when he comes to the Source Abyss to hunt for Jingjing in the future?

He solemnly extended his right hand.

"My name is Gu Lingfeng! Young Lord of the Hunter Association! I still don't know the little brother's name?"

"I am willing to become sworn brothers with you, I wonder what the little brother thinks?"

Su Ming looked down at the hand reaching over.

Sworn brothers? This is too cheesy!

"Su Ming." He crossed his arms, looking disgusted. "What benefits are there to taking you as a little brother?"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's smile stiffened for a moment.

Who said anything about being a little brother? I said sworn brothers!

Equal, okay?

But he was from a prestigious family after all, and his temper of eating soft but not hard had already been smashed to pieces in the face of a punch that kills a bull.

"Benefits? There are plenty." Young Master Gu Lingfeng retracted his hand and began counting on his fingers.

"The Hunter Association has strongholds in over fifty cities in the Federation, including the borders and several neutral zones; we even have undercover agents in the Divine Court Empire. If you need to investigate people, things, or find clues in the future, it's just a word."

"Also, admission qualifications to the Federation's most luxurious Hunter God Auction, which you can't get even if you queue for three months outside, I can take you with me every time!"

"Plus, priority claim rights for bounty missions."

He took a seven-star armband from his arms, with a metallic texture, seven stars arranged in sequence on a dark silver background.

"The seven-star armband, second only to the President's own eight-star authority. There are no more than ten in the entire association."

Su Ming's eyes brightened slightly.

Intelligence network in over fifty cities.

Undercover agents in the Divine Court Empire.

Hunter God Auction.

Hmm... not bad.

When he goes north in the future, he might really have to go see that so-called cultist Empire.

"Alright then, count you in." Su Ming generously accepted the armband and pinned it to his collar.

Then he smiled.

"Call me Big Brother and let me hear it?"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's face twitched.

"You... I am older than you!"

"My fist is harder."

"My family is wealthy and powerful!"

"When I become a General in the future, just wait and see if I investigate you or not."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's lips moved, wanting to retort.

He saw Su Ming slowly take out his military terminal, and the projection screen lit up.

On the screen, a certain Young Master of the Gu Family was slumped in a pile of rubble, his eyes red and snot bubbling, wailing with a crying voice, "You f***ing ate my ultimate move."

That image, that expression.

Miserable, embarrassed, completely undignified.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng's complexion turned from white to red, and from red to purple.

"You... when did you record that?!"

"Not important." Su Ming smiled and held up three fingers. "I'll count to three. If you don't call me that, I'll send this video to Commander Huangfu Jing."

"You...!"

"Three."

"You don't play by the rules of martial arts!"

"Two."

"You..."

"One."

When Young Master Gu Lingfeng heard the three words "Commander Huangfu Jing", his defenses already collapsed.

He could be beaten.

He could be mocked.

He could lose one of his life-bound sand nails.

But he absolutely, absolutely could not let Jingjing see him in this state!

Perfect image!

His carefully cultivated perfect image!

Must be maintained!

Young Master Gu Lingfeng shouted with tears in his eyes:

"Big Brother!"
