Ma Feng felt like he was riding a tiger, unable to dismount.

A dark rage flared up within him. He never imagined his son would provoke someone like this.

’If I’d known, I should’ve just slapped him a few times.’

"Someone you can’t afford to provoke!" Chu Feng answered, not revealing his identity.

Chu Feng slowly strode forward.

Ma Feng started to panic. He was afraid.

"What did my son do to you that you’d attack him so viciously?" Ma Feng’s voice was losing its earlier confidence.

He was the chairman of Jiangshui Building Materials Group, after all, and had seen his fair share of the world. But when faced with a death threat, anyone would be afraid.

"He seized my village’s land, beat my fellow villagers, and even hurt my parents! You tell me how he provoked me?" Chu Feng snarled, his face dark.

His parents were the one line he would not allow anyone to cross. Whoever dared to touch them would die!

Besides, it was useless even if they reattached Ma Lin’s arm.

He wasn’t going to live much longer.

Chu Feng had directly detonated the Sin Value above his head. The man’s Sin Value wasn’t low at all—it was in the tens of thousands.

Because of this, Chu Feng had decreed that he would die in one hour!

He had triggered it the moment he’d met Ma Lin.

In other words, the man was about to die.

"They’re just a few worthless villagers. Can their lives compare to my son’s? I’ll just pay you. That should be enough!" Ma Feng said, his expression one of pure condescension.

From his tone and his words, it was clear he didn’t consider the villagers here to be human at all.

’In his eyes, with the exception of his son, anyone else’s death could be settled with money.’

"Is that right? Then let me tell you, your son *is* going to die. And it’s going to happen right now!" Chu Feng said through clenched teeth.

"You little animal! If my son dies, I’ll make you accompany him in death, and I’ll make this entire village go with him!" Ma Feng roared furiously.

The moment the words left his mouth, a doctor came rushing over.

"Chairman Ma, it’s terrible! Terrible news!" The doctor came stumbling and scrambling over, his face filled with terror.

Clearly, he had encountered something terrifying.

Seeing the man running over with such an expression, Ma Feng immediately sensed something was wrong. A wave of unease washed over him.

"Spit it out!" Ma Feng ground out.

"Young Master Ma... is dead!" The doctor’s face was chalk-white; he felt as if the sky itself were falling.

"What?" Ma Feng grabbed the doctor by the shirt and roared.

"Young Master Ma is dead," the doctor replied in a tiny voice, though he was terrified.

BOOM!

Ma Feng felt his mind explode as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

He couldn’t accept it. His vision went dark, and he nearly collapsed on the spot.

Fortunately, his personal bodyguard was there to catch him.

"Chairman Ma." The bodyguard sharply pressed the pressure point beneath Ma Feng’s nose.

A moment later, Ma Feng gasped for air, coming back to his senses.

As soon as he caught his breath, the fury returned to his face.

"Men! Whoever kills this bastard for me gets half of my family’s fortune!" Ma Feng shouted.

His voice was so loud that everyone present heard him loud and clear.

That included Ma Lin’s once-fearful lackeys, as well as some of the construction workers.

"Uh, how much is your fortune worth, exactly?" someone asked out of curiosity.

Everyone knew he was wealthy, but no one knew the exact extent of his riches.

"My personal assets are worth twenty billion. Including the company, it all adds up to nearly fifty billion. I, Ma Feng, give you my word! Whoever brings me this bastard’s head, I’ll give them half of everything!" Ma Feng snarled through clenched teeth.

WHOOSH—

It was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day, stunning the entire crowd.

No one could have imagined that Ma Feng would put a price of over twenty billion on Chu Feng’s head!

It wasn’t just the workers and thugs; even Secretary Wang and his driver felt a flutter of temptation.

Even a few of the villagers from Chu Feng’s own village felt their hearts begin to race.

’That much money... It’s an unheard-of sum, something we wouldn’t even dare to dream about.’

"Is that for real?" someone asked again.

"I, Ma Feng, stake my honor on it. It’s absolutely real!" Ma Feng had been driven mad with rage.

Ma Lin was his only son. He had spoiled the boy rotten since he was a child, never able to bring himself to even scold him. He never thought that Chu Feng would just kill him off like that.

Soon, Chu Feng could feel dozens of pairs of eyes fixed on him.

Among them, a few auras felt different from the rest.

’Oh? Are there Martial Cultivators here too?’ Chu Feng’s gaze swept the area. A few men were hiding behind Ma Feng, and their strength was considerable.

’They’ve reached the Body Tempering Realm and are about to enter Qi Cultivation. They’ve hidden themselves pretty well.’

’They must have been tempted by the fifty billion. Half of that is twenty-five billion, after all.’

"Honey, I’ll help you!" Su Miaoke stepped forward, picking up a nearby iron rod.

"No need. You just take care of Dad. Leave the rest to me," Chu Feng said with a shake of his head.

"Let me make one thing clear," Chu Feng said calmly. "You can try to take my life, but first, you should ask yourselves if you’ll live to spend the money!"

He didn’t want to kill indiscriminately, but if anyone came for his life, he wouldn’t be merciful.

He had said his piece. Anyone who dared to make a move would have to bear the consequences.

"I’d like to see who dares to make a move!" Secretary Wang spoke up at that moment. "Anyone who does will be making an enemy of the Zhongnan Building Materials Group. I don’t care what your status is, what industry you’re in, or where you come from. The Zhongnan Building Materials Group will fight you to the bitter end!"

He had received his orders from Wang Hong: protect Chu Feng at all costs.

With Chu Feng facing such a crisis, he had to step in.

Soon, the heads of various departments from the Zhongnan Building Materials Group—including Legal and Security—all arrived.

The Security Department, in particular, brought several dozen men with them.

Each was dressed in uniform and armed with various implements.

So, when Secretary Wang made his declaration, those who had been eager to make a move instantly settled down.

After all, Secretary Wang clearly had backup.

"You bastard! Does the Zhongnan Building Materials Group really want to go to war with me? Are you sure Wang Hong has the nerve? Does he even know who’s backing me?!" Ma Feng cursed, seeing this turn of events.

Although he was furious, a part of him began to calm down. He decided it was time to play his trump card and intimidate them with the name of his backer.

He knew he was in genuine danger today.

The main reason was that Chu Feng was too powerful, and there was no telling what the upper limit of his strength was.

In fact, he had already secretly sent a text message from his pocket.

It was a message to his backer.

"The backer you’re referring to... that would be the Tang Family, wouldn’t it? If I’m not mistaken, it’s Tang Qian, correct?" Chu Feng said at that moment, his voice frigid.
