183: Chapter 183 The King's Promise! The Last General!

Lin Feng's gaze finally moved past the chaotic crowd in front of him.

And toward the woman in the distance who had been quietly watching everything like an outsider.

Their eyes met from afar.

Scarlett Johansson.

She didn't carry a hint of unease or grievance like Yoona did.

Nor was she filled with an aggressive sense of possessiveness like Taylor.

On her face, there was always that unfathomable, playful smile.

It was as if this 'shura field'—enough to make any man's scalp tingle with dread—was, in her eyes, nothing more than a wonderful play she had directed herself.

She was the true chess player, the one in control of the entire board.

And Lin Feng was the most crucial, yet most disobedient, piece on her board.

The surrounding reporters finally noticed this top Hollywood star hiding in the shadows!

Their breathing hitched once again!

Their brains completely crashed due to this succession of overly stimulating scenes!

One!

Two!

Three!

What the hell kind of divine plot is this?!

However...

Just when everyone thought Lin Feng was about to face his final judgment,

He made an even more inconceivable move.

He didn't take another step forward.

He just stood there, looking at Scarlett through the madly flashing lights.

The corner of his mouth also curled into a similarly playful arc.

It was the appreciation of meeting a worthy opponent.

It was also the confidence belonging to a king.

He spoke.

His voice wasn't loud,

Yet it clearly pierced through all the noise.

“The game is only one step away.”

“From 'Checkmate.'”

These words were like a code that only the two of them could understand.

The surrounding reporters were completely bewildered.

What game?

What checkmate?

What on earth was he talking about?

But!

Scarlett Johansson, in the distance, understood!

The playful smile on her face grew even deeper.

She looked at the man who, at the center of a storm involving three women, remained composed and even turned the tables.

A flash of genuine amazement and admiration crossed her eyes.

This man was even more interesting than she had imagined.

Slowly, she raised her hand.

Toward Lin Feng, she made an extremely elegant 'after you' gesture from across the distance.

As if to say:

Fine.

I'd like to see,

How you intend to play this final move.

How you, the so-called King, will 'checkmate' me, the Queen!

With that,

Three storms, three confrontations worthy of the history books,

Were all neutralized by Lin Feng using three completely different methods!

He didn't give any explicit promise of belonging.

Yet with three sentences, he gave the three women the unique expectations they each wanted most.

To Yoona, it was the promise and protection of 'wait for me to return.'

To Taylor, it was the resonance between the strong of 'crowning you.'

To Scarlett, it was the player's declaration of 'conquering you.'

His high emotional intelligence was on full display at this moment!

Watertight!

Impeccable!

The most incredible thing was,

These three, no matter which one, were absolute queens standing at the apex of their respective fields.

Surprisingly, none of them lashed out on the spot!

They were all smart people.

They knew very well that now was simply not the time for jealousy.

Indulging in a momentary outburst would only turn them all into laughingstocks for the entire world.

They were all waiting.

Waiting for that man to finish what he called his 'final battle.'

Waiting for the moment he truly ascended to the throne as King.

Then, they would 'claim' from him their respective, unique trophies!

This scene was captured in its entirety by the surrounding reporters!

The atmosphere at the scene was bizarre to the extreme!

No arguing!

No tearing at each other!

There wasn't even a single extra word of dialogue!

But that invisible, powder-keg-like magnetic field between the three women!

That delicate balance formed by competing for the same man!

It was more heart-stopping than any heated argument!

“Quick! Escort Lin out of here!”

The security personnel on site finally snapped out of it!

They rushed forward, forming a human wall, and with great difficulty, squeezed a path through the group of reporters who had completely lost control!

Under the escort of security, Lin Feng struggled to break through the encirclement.

He didn't look back.

Not even once.

He walked straight onto the Los Angeles Lakers team bus, which had been waiting for a long time.

The doors slowly closed,

Shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

Outside the window,

Were the three women's differing, complex gazes,

And the countless, blindingly bright camera flashes still going off wildly.

The team bus slowly drove away.

Inside the bus,

It was dead silent.

Howard, Nick Young, Gasol... all the teammates who had finished training were already on the bus.

Through the windows, they had seen everything that just happened from start to finish, clear as day.

At this moment,

Everyone was staring intently at the man who had just boarded and calmly found his seat, looking at him as if he were a god, an alien, or a prehistoric beast.

No one spoke.

No one dared to speak.

Their brains were also in a completely formatted, blank state.

They had played ball their whole lives and seen all sorts of big scenes.

But what happened tonight,

Had completely exceeded the limits of their meager imaginations!

Finally,

It was Kobe.

The team leader, who was used to storms, was the first to break this eerie silence.

He didn't ask any questions.

He just walked over to Lin Feng and gave his shoulder a heavy pat.

Then, in a tone filled with complex emotions, he said,

“Kid.”

“You're much more fierce than I was back then.”

...That night,

While the Lakers' chartered plane was flying ten thousand meters above toward Oklahoma,

On the ground,

The entire world's social media networks were completely detonated by a piece of explosive news!

The heat of this news climbed at a terrifying speed!

In just one hour, it surpassed all political news, entertainment gossip, and social events!

Even the heat of the upcoming, highly anticipated NBA Playoff Game 7,

Was easily suppressed by it!

The headline of the news was simple and crude, yet full of impact that invited infinite speculation!

【Three Queens, One King: Lin Feng's Harem War!】

And the accompanying photo,

Was that divine shot captured by a reporter on the scene, a truly historic grouping!

In the photo,

Lin Feng stood right in the center.

To his left was Yoona, who stood like a guardian angel, protecting him gently.

To his right was Taylor Swift, like a fiery queen, boldly declaring her love.

And right in front of him,

The peerless Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson, leaned against a car, showing him that meaningful, playful smile.

This photo set the world on fire!
