132: Chapter 61, Turning Against Each Other

"So you're saying, the main reason Prime Minister Liu Sheng wanted to see me this time is just about this matter?"

"Mr. Lin, please watch your wording. Do not be disrespectful to Prime Minister Liu Sheng!"

Chen Fei reprimanded him.

"Heh heh... What if I say no?"

Lin Xiaohu looked at Chen Fei with an amused expression.

"Mr. Lin, please be aware that you are currently speaking to a nation. Please think carefully before you speak!"

Chen Fei said coldly.

"Otherwise, any losses you suffer will be caused by your own doing!"

"Mr. Lin, do not be willful. Please think clearly. Do not just consider yourself; consider the Lin Family Manor behind you. Your disciples, grand-disciples, and researchers there could all have their fates changed by a single word from you!"

Chen Fei gave a warning.

This made Lin Xiaohu's expression instantly turn serious.

"So, are you formally falling out with me now?"

"No, 'falling out' is just your own way of putting it. We believe that since you are within the territory of the Great Yan Empire, you must accept the jurisdiction of the Great Yan Empire!"

Chen Fei waved his hand calmly and said.

"The Empire cannot accept the Lin Family Manor being above the Empire!"

"And it cannot accept a Lin Family Manor that is equal to the Empire!"

Chen Fei slowly sat up straight, looking at Lin Xiaohu with an oppressive gaze.

"You called me over just to talk about this? Is there nothing else?"

Lin Xiaohu asked.

"Yes! This is it; this is the most important thing!"

"Furthermore, your Lin Family Manor must pay taxes, and all accounts must be subject to state supervision!"

Chen Fei added further.

In his heart, he was mocking him—what 'number one in the world,' compared to the state, it's nothing!

Prime Minister Liu Sheng was right; individual power is always insignificant.

"Mr. Lin, I know your martial power is number one in the world, but before you make a move, please think clearly: you are provoking a nation!"

Seeing a flash of anger in Lin Xiaohu's eyes and realizing how close he was sitting, Chen Fei immediately reminded him.

"There are many people outside waiting for Mr. Lin to make a move, so they can learn from you!"

"They don't care about any Jianghu morality or one-on-one duels; they have always dealt with anyone as a collective!"

Chen Fei warned.

"You're very confident. Do you really believe that the people outside can handle me?"

Lin Xiaohu asked softly.

"Mr. Lin, they practice killing arts, not some Jianghu fighting techniques. So please think clearly. It would be better if they didn't act, but once they do, it means blood will be shed!"

"They won't stop until they see blood!"

Chen Fei said with a determined look.

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

"Mr. Lin, don't think about solving problems with your violence. Come in, let Mr. Lin see if you are heavy enough!"

Chen Fei shouted to the outside.

Immediately, a dozen heavily armed soldiers walked in, looking at Lin Xiaohu with Killing Intent on their faces.

"Mr. Lin, I have a video here that you can watch. As long as you dare to make any unusual moves, the army in Jiang City will immediately march into the Lin Family Manor and execute all resistance elements in the Lin Family Manor!"

As he spoke, Chen Fei handed over a tablet, which displayed a military base, and the operational plan was for the Lin Family Manor.

This made Lin Xiaohu frown.

"Using power to suppress me?"

"Mr. Lin, this is a fact. The power of the state is not something you can oppose. The state needs the Lin Family Manor!"

Chen Fei said calmly.

Lin Xiaohu's eyes suddenly widened in anger, and he grabbed Chen Fei by the neck with one hand, lifting him up instantly.

"Just you, and you dare to suppress me?"

Lin Xiaohu looked at Chen Fei with a cold sneer, causing his face to turn a deep purple.

"Bold! Let go of Lord Chen! Otherwise, I will open fire!"

"Go ahead and fire!"

Lin Xiaohu sneered coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, those soldiers opened fire.

Bang, bang, bang...

Lin Xiaohu glanced at them, and the bullets stopped in mid-air, unable to move forward.

Then, with a wave of his hand, all the bullets flew back at an even faster speed.

"Ah, ah..."

The bullets pierced through the soldiers' bodies, leaving large holes in them.

They lay on the ground, twitching.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Bang!

Suddenly, the window shattered, and a figure rushed in, slashing a blade towards Lin Xiaohu's head.

The blade was sharp, tearing through the air, vowing to cut Lin Xiaohu in two.

Lin Xiaohu threw Chen Fei aside, then shifted his body lightly to dodge the blade, and subsequently struck the person lightly with a palm.

Boom!

That person was like being hit by a car; with a loud bang, he slammed into the wall, creating a dent, and vomited blood mixed with chunks of internal organs.

Meanwhile, Chen Fei scrambled up in terror, trying to run.

The strongest warrior of the state couldn't even last one move in front of him, making Chen Fei's heart feel like it was about to explode from fear.

"You are forcing me. Since Prime Minister Liu Sheng sent you to talk to me, did you offend him somewhere?"

Lin Xiaohu looked at Chen Fei with pity.

"Otherwise, why would he send you here to let me get rid of you?"

"Lin Xiaohu, have you thought this through?"

"Killing me is giving the state an excuse. Can you withstand the wrath of the state?"

Chen Fei shouted loudly.

At the same time, his face was full of terror as he looked at Lin Xiaohu.

He retreated quickly.

However, the door had been locked by him when the soldiers entered, to prevent anyone from outside from suddenly coming in.

At this moment, Chen Fei regretted it immensely; because he was panicking, he couldn't open the door lock no matter what.

"Lin Xiaohu, you are still young; do not embark on a path of crime. Everything can be discussed!"

He shouted in terror while retreating.

"Let's sit down and talk; things can always be resolved. Don't think about using violence to solve them!"

Chen Fei pressed against the wall, reaching out to try to open the lock.

"Actually, I wanted to talk at the beginning too, but you didn't give me the chance!"

"Help! Help! Someone come! Lin Xiaohu is going to kill me!"

Chen Fei cried out loudly.

He had already arranged manpower below to ambush Lin Xiaohu.

As soon as he called out, the people below immediately knew, and they flew up instantly.

Entering from the window, they pounced on Lin Xiaohu.

"Bold! How dare you harm Lord Chen! Pay with your life!"

Four people rushed in and threw punches at Lin Xiaohu.

Boom!

The wind from their fists whistled, causing the air to explode with a loud bang.

Lin Xiaohu shifted his steps, and he had already arrived beside Chen Fei, pressing a palm onto his chest—crack, crack, crack!

Chen Fei flew out on the spot, his chest caved in.

He didn't know how many bones had broken.

Then, he raised his finger and slashed it diagonally towards the four people rushing over.

"Give me... Ah!"

As they were running, a line of blood appeared, and their upper bodies suddenly fell to the ground, screaming in terror there.

Their lower bodies were still running forward, only falling to the ground after a few steps.

Blood flowed like a river; in no time, a layer of blood had accumulated in the room.

Those people let out miserable screams, looking at Lin Xiaohu in terror, crawling frantically with their hands, wanting to get away from this demon.

And those who entered later, upon seeing the miserable state of the others, immediately turned around and ran.

Without hesitation.
