Chapter 69 Liu Hanlu's Words
"If I didn't care, do you think you'd still be here talking nonsense with me?"
Yang Feng is the kind of person who's cold to you and cold to me, he said coldly.
"Heh, say what you will. Even if you don't make a move, I'll be fine, you fool."
Liu Hanlu sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in her beautiful eyes. She was just telling the truth. Zheng Qiang's thugs in this area were mainly protected by someone. Although that person was one of her family's subordinates, she didn't want to cause any trouble.
"And you really think they're just ordinary street thugs? Forget it, I'm not going to waste any more words on you, get lost."
Liu Hanlu shook her head, pushed Yang Feng away, and saw a large group of people walking towards her on the beach. Her delicate eyebrows immediately furrowed.
When the tourists on the surrounding beach saw so many people walking over with iron bars in their hands, they hurriedly called their friends and family to leave the area.
"Look, so many people have arrived in such a short time. No matter how good you are at fighting, you're just an ordinary person. Do you think you can beat a whole group of people? You idiot."
Liu Hanlu turned her head, a sarcastic smile on her face, which looked rather ironic.
"You should leave now, I'll handle things here."
As she spoke, she took out a rose gold mobile phone from her pocket and quickly dialed a number.
"Hello, is this Uncle Li? Here's the thing..."
The Uncle Li she was talking to on the phone was also one of her family's subordinates. He had been working for her for many years and had gained a certain status in the Liu family. Of course, he was also the local tyrant of Yanjing!
The powerful force behind it is the Liu family, the fourth largest family in Yanjing, with influence in both the legal and illegal worlds.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Hanlu glanced at Yang Feng with her beautiful eyes and said calmly:
"Alright, it's resolved. You have to understand that sometimes society doesn't rely on brute force; connections and influence are also very important."
Yang Feng smiled faintly, his bright eyes watching the group of dark-skinned thugs walking towards them from not far away. He glanced at Liu Hanlu, thinking that this girl was kind-hearted by nature, but too aloof. She was the kind of girl who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Sometimes connections aren't as effective as fists. Besides, I don't want a woman standing in front of me."
As he spoke, Yang Feng slowly walked towards a group of dark-skinned thugs. His blood seemed to be boiling; this was the innate fighting spirit of a mercenary!
"A mission has arrived, Yang Feng. Obtain the [Mercenary] profession mission."
"Mission Difficulty: One and a Half Stars!"
"Mission objective: Take down the fifty thugs who are just extras in front of you within five minutes!"
"Mission Reward: Randomly unlock one of the abilities under the Mercenary category!"
"Mission failed: Get ready to kneel on the washboard!"
Yang Feng raised an eyebrow, but didn't stop walking. He thought to himself, "Why is the punishment for failing this mission so strange?"
The group of thugs, who were about twenty meters away, stopped. Liu Hanlu, who was behind Yang Feng, twitched her lips slightly, quickly ran up and grabbed Yang Feng, cursing in a sweet voice:
"You idiot! What are you doing going up there? There are over fifty of them, all carrying iron bars. Are you trying to get yourself killed?! Run!"
Liu Hanlu felt a sudden urgency. Did this guy really think he was so great? Although she was a martial artist, she was only a half-step Yellow Rank martial artist, and at most she could only deal with more than twenty big men.
Only when one reaches the true Yellow Rank can one truly enter the ranks of martial arts practitioners.
Those who rise above the Yellow Emperor's ranks are ultimately nothing more than ants!
"What's there to be afraid of?" Yang Feng replied, shaking off Liu Hanlu's fair and delicate hand. His sharp eyes looked at the fifty people in front of him, showing no fear whatsoever.
After all, the system only gave the task a difficulty index of one and a half stars, which was not as high as when protecting the Xia family from assassins. Even if there was a life-threatening situation, the cute little girl would remind her.
"Damn, you've got some nerve, huh? You even filmed our boss jumping into the sea?! Pretty cool, huh?"
Next to Zheng Qiang, the burly man who had just finished speaking was kicked to the ground by Zheng Qiang.
"Damn idiot! Pig, ptooey!"
Zheng Qiang's face flushed red. This guy actually revealed his shameful secret in one breath, which made him furious. If word got out that he had been pushed into the sea by a young man, what would people outside think of him?
"Oh dear... Boss... I'm so sorry."
The man next to him quickly got up and apologized, realizing he had talked too much, and kept slapping his mouth.
"Alright, alright."
Zheng Qiang waved his hand, glanced at Yang Feng, and sneered:
"You've got guts, kid. But don't think you're a great fighter just because you know a little martial arts. Let me tell you, this area isn't just my territory. My boss, Li Longtian, is the underground emperor of Yanjing, and I'm one of his subordinates."
"Oh, really? What's so great about Li Longtian? He's nothing in front of me."
Yang Feng chuckled, a hint of mockery on his face, and replied mercilessly.
"You—are you looking for death?!"
Faced with his threat, this young man was still so arrogant, which was something Zheng Qiang had never seen before. His face darkened, and his anger suddenly flared up!
Liu Hanlu's sexy lips twitched violently, and she helplessly slapped her delicate, white forehead with her small hand, murmuring:
