229: Chapter 229 First, say hello to my boss's employees.

The plane landed smoothly on the VIP apron of Stockholm Arlanda Airport.

The cabin door opened, and a gust of Nordic air, mixed with cedar and chill, rushed in.

Chen Feng was the first to walk down the gangway, followed by Samantha, while Sarah and Ada Wong, like two guardian protectors on his left and right, lagged half a step behind.

On the apron, a red carpet had already been laid out, and a row of Swedish officials in suits and representatives from the Nobel Foundation were waiting with smiles.

At the very front of the line, a middle-aged man with slicked-back blonde hair and a smile that was a bit too forced stood out exceptionally.

Leo Rockefeller.

The current patriarch of the Rockefeller Family, who had his collarbone crushed by a Tyrant at the Scottish Castle a year ago and was scared out of his wits.

At this moment, wearing an expensive custom suit with an almost fawning smile on his face, he immediately quickened his pace to welcome Chen Feng as soon as he saw him appear, warmly extending both hands.

“Mr. Chen! Welcome to Stockholm! I am Leo Rockefeller, it must have been a tiring journey!”

His voice was resonant and his posture was extremely low, as if he were meeting not a young man, but a monarch he needed to look up to.

The surrounding media reporters immediately aimed their cameras and lenses at this scene.

The king of the old era and the giant of the new era, a historic meeting! Tomorrow's headlines were secured!

However, what happened next made everyone swallow their prepared drafts back down.

Chen Feng acted as if he didn't see Leo's extended hand, not even letting his gaze linger on him for more than half a second.

He stepped aside, made a gesturing motion of 'after you' to Samantha behind him, and said in a flat tone,

“Dr. Samantha, you are the protagonist today. Don't let these people who don't understand science waste your precious time.”

Samantha nodded expressionlessly, walked straight past the space Chen Feng had cleared without looking aside, and headed directly toward the group of officials.

Throughout the entire process, she also completely ignored Mr. Rockefeller, whose smile had frozen on his face nearby.

The surroundings instantly fell into a dead silence.

Leo Rockefeller's warmly extended hands hung awkwardly in mid-air, unable to be withdrawn or kept there.

The surrounding reporters were going crazy, the sound of shutters snapping in unison as they captured the wonderful array of expressions on the face of this top-tier wealthy family's patriarch.

From warmth to shock, from shock to embarrassment, and finally turning into a deeply hidden sense of humiliation.

As expected of Umbrella's boss, this face-slapping left absolutely no dignity!

Just as Leo was about to awkwardly withdraw his hands, Ada Wong, who had been following Chen Feng all along, stepped forward with elegant strides.

Wearing her signature red qipao with a black cashmere coat draped over her shoulders, she wore a half-smile, her red lips parting slightly.

“Mr. Rockefeller, you seem to be blocking the way.”

This single sentence was like another knife, stabbing precisely into Leo's heart.

Leo's face twitched violently, but he finally squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying, awkwardly stepping aside to make way for Ada and Sarah.

Only then did Chen Feng look at him as if he had just noticed his presence, revealing a playful smile.

“Oh, it's Mr. Leo. Long time no see. Your collarbone... seems to have recovered well.”

Boom!

Leo felt as if a bomb had gone off in his head.

He never dreamed that Chen Feng would directly rip open his scar from a year ago in front of so many media outlets!

This was a warning to him, telling him not to forget how he had knelt!

“Thanks... thanks to Mr. Chen, it has recovered very well.” Fine beads of cold sweat broke out on Leo's forehead, and his voice trembled slightly.

Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction, like an elder praising an obedient junior.

“That's good. I heard you put a lot of effort into securing this role as an award presenter?”

Leo's heart clenched, and he quickly explained, “To present an award to such a great scientist as Dr. Samantha is the honor of my life! This... this is our family's respect for science!”

He didn't dare admit that he had spent an astronomical amount on public relations just to curry favor with Chen Feng to get this position.

“Is that so?” Chen Feng smiled, noncommittal.

He took a step forward, suddenly stopping as he passed by Leo, and said softly in a voice only the two of them could hear:

“Remember, Leo. A dog should act like a dog. When the master doesn't tell you to bark, you'd better stay quiet. Otherwise...”

Chen Feng didn't finish his sentence. He simply reached out and gently patted the shoulder of his expensive suit.

“Otherwise, I don't mind loosening up your bones again.”

Leo Rockefeller felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He froze on the spot, watching helplessly as Chen Feng led those two women with terrifying auras, calmly walking toward the welcoming committee, chatting and laughing with the Swedish Crown Prince and the Chairman of the Nobel Foundation, as if nothing had happened just now.

Meanwhile, he, the dignified patriarch of the Rockefeller Family, was like a piece of discarded trash, forgotten by everyone on the spot.

Although the surrounding reporters didn't hear what Chen Feng said, they could guess from Leo's pale face and trembling body that it was definitely nothing good.

“Mr. Rockefeller, may I ask what you and Mr. Chen were talking about just now?”

“What are your thoughts on Umbrella Corporation? Will the Rockefeller Family cooperate with Umbrella in the future?”

Reporters swarmed forward like sharks smelling blood.

Leo couldn't say a single word. Under the desperate protection of his bodyguards, he practically fled in panic into his car.

The moment the car door closed, he could no longer suppress it, coughing violently, his face turning flushed red, his eyes filled with fear and... a trace of excitement that he himself hadn't even noticed.

“Madman... he is an absolute madman...” Leo muttered to himself.

But it was precisely this madness of not playing by the rules, this absolute power that treated rules as nothing, that made him feel a shudder and... submission originating from the depths of his soul.

He knew that from today on, the surname Rockefeller would no longer hold any aura of glory in front of Umbrella.

...

On the other side, inside the hotel's presidential suite.

Chen Feng sat leisurely on the sofa, watching the news replay of the airport welcoming ceremony on television.

On the screen, Leo Rockefeller's embarrassed expression after being ignored was given a huge close-up.

“Boss, aren't you afraid of pushing them too far by doing this?” Ada Wong walked over to him holding a glass of red wine, her tone tinged with curiosity.

“Pushing them too far?” Chen Feng chuckled. “Ada, you have to understand, when dealing with these self-righteous 'old gods,' the more polite you are, the more they think you want something from them. Only by trampling their faces onto the ground and grinding them hard with your heel will they understand who the true master of this era is.”
