174: Unscrupulous

“Lei Group… Lei Qianjue…”

Lin Fei slowly chewed on the name, the half-smile on his face gradually replaced by a chilling indifference, as if he was looking at a dead object.

He didn't even bother to glance at the stealth user on the ground, who was trembling like a sieve, and simply raised his chin slightly.

Xu Sanduo understood, his massive iron fist clenched suddenly, and with a bone-crushing sound that made one's teeth ache, he completely ended the opponent’s breathing.

“Just a clown, and he dares to provoke me?”

Lin Fei stood up and twisted his neck, emitting a series of crisp cracking sounds.

“Damn it, I used to always worry about exposing my identity and causing trouble for the orphanage, so I kept a low profile.

I didn't expect that it would make these blind flies think I was easy to bully.”

His voice was calm, but beneath that calm, there was a suppressed rage and killing intent capable of making heaven and earth change color.

“Since that’s the case, there’s no need to hide anymore.”

Lin Fei turned around to look at Lu Zhifei and Lin Mengzi, a wild and domineering smile spreading across his lips.

“Third Sister, Sixth Sister, let’s go to Qi Country for a stroll. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of thing that so-called ‘Little Ten Ring King’ really is!”

His immense strength had long given him the confidence to act recklessly and uninhibitedly!

From today onwards, Lin Fei will be the walking rule!

“You just said,” Lin Fei’s gaze, like two sharp swords, fixed on Xu Zhengyang, “that Lei Qianjue is currently at the Lei Group headquarters?”

“Ye-yes, Boss! I told Li Nan immediately, and he hacked into the Qi Country Lei Group’s network and found their location.” Xu Zhengyang stammered, intimidated by Lin Fei’s overwhelmingly domineering aura at that moment.

“Intelligence shows that he and his father, Lei Group Chairman Lei Tianzheng, are holding a meeting in the group’s top-floor office tonight!”

“Very good.”

Lin Fei snapped his fingers.

The next second, Lu Zhifei understood instantly.

She elegantly raised her hand, and the spatial rune representing the [Phase Walker Boots] quietly lit up on the divine weapon light wheel, formed by a twelve-pointed star, behind her.

Boom—

A deep and stable spatial wormhole, like a zipper pulled open in thin air, formed directly in front of the three of them!

The other end of the wormhole clearly showed the scene of a top-floor office, decorated with extreme luxury and brightly lit!

No need to transfer, no need to fly, not even a single moment of waiting!

From wanting to go to arriving, it was but a single thought!

...

Qi Country, Lei Group Headquarters Building.

This skyscraper, over five hundred meters tall, was a symbol of the entire country's finance and power.

Inside the chairman's office on its top floor, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Lei Tianzheng, nearing sixty but with muscles still as solid as bedrock and temples bulging high, was frowning as he looked at his arrogant son.

“Qianjue, I’ve warned you many times not to provoke that Lin Fei!

This person has a mysterious background, unfathomable strength, and acts without any scruples!

You sent people this time, what if you alerted him…”

“Dad! You’re just too cautious!” Lei Qianjue impatiently interrupted him, while playing with the ten rings on his hand that shimmered with various magical lights, and sneered, “No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than our Lei family’s century-old influence?

The people I sent this time are the elite of the elite. As long as we capture him, everything about him will be ours!”

“By then, my title of ‘Little Ten Ring King’ will resound throughout the entire world!”

His words came to an abrupt halt.

Because, right in front of him, by the office’s massive floor-to-ceiling window, a deep spatial wormhole appeared out of nowhere without any warning.

Immediately after, three figures, like deities descending to the mortal realm, slowly walked out of it.

The expressions on Lei Qianjue’s and his father’s faces instantly changed from shock to horror, finally transforming into unbelievable terror!

“You!” Lei Qianjue looked at the target he had been so eager to capture, who had appeared directly in front of him in such an inconceivable way, and for a moment, he couldn’t even form a complete sentence.

“I heard you were looking for me?”

Lin Fei stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes indifferently sweeping over everything in the room, finally landing on Lei Qianjue’s terrified face, his tone as calm as stating a trivial fact.

“So what if it’s me!” Lei Qianjue feigned composure, activating the ten magic rings in his hand to their fullest extent. Ten-colored lights flashed, and a powerful magical fluctuation instantly enveloped him!

“Lin Fei! You dare to trespass into my Lei Group! You are seeking death! These ten magic rings of mine represent ten S-rank skills!”

“Noisy.”

Lin Fei didn't even bother to let him finish speaking, simply raising his right index finger slightly.

At the tip of his finger, a wisp of lightning, deeper than the night and entwined with dark golden arcs, quietly condensed.

Then, he flicked it lightly.

Chirp!

There was no earth-shattering commotion, only a barely audible soft sound.

That tiny black lightning bolt, as if ignoring the distance of space and the shield formed by the ten-colored magical light, instantly appeared at Lei Qianjue’s glabella, then flashed and vanished.

The expression on Lei Qianjue’s face was still frozen in the alternating moment of arrogance and feigned bravery.

His proud eyes instantly lost all their luster, becoming hollow and lifeless.

Immediately after, a pitch-black lightning mark emerged from his glabella and rapidly spread throughout his entire body!

Crack!

Like a shattered porcelain doll.

The Little Ten Ring King, along with his ten powerful magic rings that had not yet had a chance to unleash their power, turned into a pile of charred dust right in front of his father, in the place he considered safest.

Instant kill.

Clean and decisive, without a trace of fuss.

“My son—!!!”

Lei Tianzheng's eyes were bloodshot, letting out a desperate roar like a wounded beast!

He was an Epic-grade professional boxer, fully equipped with top-tier gear!

Now, with his beloved son dying before his eyes, all reason was swallowed by towering rage!

“I want your life!!!”

Boom!!!

A solid, powerful fist intent shot up into the sky, instantly shattering his expensive suit into pieces, revealing the bronze, muscular physique beneath!

His body shot out like a cannonball, delivering a punch that created a visible white sonic boom in the air, his fist aiming directly for Lin Fei’s head!

However, facing this grandmaster’s desperate, furious strike.

Lin Fei didn't even bat an eyelid.

Only Lin Mengzi, standing beside him, stepped forward.

“Ant.”

She gently raised her hand, and a pitch-black gate leading to the Underworld slammed open behind her!

A beautiful yet terrifying figure, radiating endless death and destruction, walked out from within!

It was none other than the one she had subdued—[Queen of Bones, Rella]!

The Queen of Bones, upon her appearance, precisely captured Lei Tianzheng's attack trajectory.

She merely casually raised her sharp claw, made of dark purple bone, to meet that earth-shattering punch.

Bang!!!

The clash of fist and claw erupted in a dull thud.

Lei Tianzheng’s powerful punch, capable of splitting mountains and cracking rocks, melted away like ice and snow, crumbling inch by inch, the moment it touched the Queen’s sharp claw!

“Impossible!” Desperate horror flashed in Lei Tianzheng’s eyes.

But the Queen gave him no further opportunity to be shocked.

Her other claw, with a speed beyond the limits of human vision, extended like a phantom, easily piercing through Lei Tianzheng’s proud, powerful chest, which was said to be able to withstand cannon fire.

Splurt!

His heart was instantly crushed!

Lei Tianzheng’s body stiffened abruptly, the vitality in his eyes rapidly fading, and he collapsed with endless resentment and unwillingness.

From beginning to end, Lin Fei merely watched quietly.

As if none of this concerned him.

He simply turned around and comfortably sat in the chairman’s leather chair, which symbolized the pinnacle of power, crossing his legs.

Lin Mengzi then slowly walked to the two still-warm corpses, thequietblue soul fire in her eyes gently flickering.

With the supreme majesty of the Underworld Empress, she declared:

“Death is not the end.

Your sins shall be repaid with eternal servitude.”

“In my name, rise!”

Pitch-black death energy enveloped the two corpses.

Lei Qianjue's charred dust reassembled, and Lei Tianzheng's pierced chest rapidly healed.

But in their re-opened eyes, there was no longer any human emotion, only the most absolute, most humble, soul-deep submission to the Underworld Empress before them!

“Greetings, my Master.”

The once arrogant Lei father and son had now become Lin Mengzi’s most loyal undead servants.

The entire Qi Country, and even the Lei Group, a commercial giant influencing several surrounding countries, was thus completely taken over in a matter of minutes, without shedding a drop of blood.

Its vast financial resources, connections, and intelligence network would all become a solid foundation for the Lin siblings to further grow in this turbulent real world!

Lin Fei leaned back comfortably in the chair, his fingers gently tapping the armrest, his gaze overlooking the bustling city below through the large floor-to-ceiling window.

“Damn it, it feels so much better to act without restraint.”
