A voice came from the walkie-talkie, interrupting Shi Yun's conversation. Shi Yun reached for the binoculars and looked in the direction of Outer Heaven.

After a moment, Shi Yun curled his lips, revealing a charming smile.

"Looks like the fish took the bait."

"Everyone, get ready and wait for my command."

Outside the gates of Outer Heaven.

Li Fengtu directly ducked into the prepared car, with Wang Xi following closely and being invited to sit beside Li Fengtu.

"Why?"

Wang Xi turned to look at Li Fengtu. She thought that after uncovering Dark Butterfly's assassination plan, Li Fengtu would certainly avoid taking the risk himself.

Use a decoy for misdirection, or simply take down the ambushed assassins in advance, then call over and catch the other side off guard.

But unexpectedly, Li Fengtu didn't do any of that. Instead, he left the restaurant after confirming the assassins' presence and got into the car with her.

"You've all prepared such a grand feast for me, wouldn't it be a waste of your time and effort if I didn't partake?"

Li Fengtu said.

Wang Xi bit her cherry lips, looking at Li Fengtu for a while, and finally sighed, "What exactly do you want?"

"I find it harder to understand you."

"According to the information I have about you, you don't seem to have much conflict of interest with the Longevity Sect. If there is, it's just a petty jealousy over a woman."

"But in those instances, it never seemed like you suffered. Instead, it was Xu Ziang, the scion of the Xu Family, who was emasculated by you, and Lin Wanzhou was battered and beaten by you, suffering repeatedly."

Li Fengtu looked at Wang Xi.

"Didn't anyone tell you that the Xu Family issued a deadly order against me, and there have been at least several assassination attempts on my life, but the assassins they sent were so incompetent that they were eliminated before they could even act."

"If it were merely a petty jealousy, I could have let them go several times. But since they've sent assassins, it's different. This is now a life-and-death war."

"So, between me and the Xu Family, one must eventually fall."

Wang Xi furrowed her brows, "What does the Xu Family's business have to do with the Longevity Sect?"

"Has no one told you that the Lin Family was supported by the Xu Family, and your Dark Butterfly is Lin Changsheng's dark hand, and Lin Changsheng is merely the Xu Family's puppet."

"The essence of the Longevity Sect is networking, and you could say it's one of the three driving forces of Xu Family's power."

Wang Xi looked at Li Fengtu, noting the additional layer of relation between the Xu Family and the Lin Family, which clearly wasn't something Wang Xi had access to.

"So, to deal with the Xu Family, you plan to first cut off its wings, so you've set your sights on the Longevity Sect?"

Wang Xi knew of the Xu Family of Jingmen, an old-established family with deep influence. She always thought the Xu Family, like those wealthy families, was merely an important client for the Longevity Sect, never realizing that the Lin Family's backing was the Xu Family.

"You're right. The Longevity Sect's power is indeed the Xu Family's power, and the network of relationships via the Longevity Sect is Xu Family's critical lifeline. Once this net is destroyed, it's akin to Xu Family severing an arm."

"Without the shelter of this network, the Xu Family, with its immense wealth, is nothing but a great piece of meat in front of me."

"This is a cut of meat that even I would drool over. Besides, I enjoy a challenge, and the Xu Family just happens to cross my path, so I can only consider it my prey."

Wang Xi looked at Li Fengtu with a charming smile, momentarily lost.

She always knew that all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and that everyone pursues it likewise.

It couldn't merely be a trivial jealousy keeping Li Fengtu so fixated; the stakes were simply too high.

Because whether it was the Longevity Sect or the Xu Family of Jingmen, they are enormous entities, and who would foolishly crash eggs against a stone?

This is madness.

But with Li Fengtu's explanation before her, Wang Xi unraveled her inner confusion.

The opposing party is Huacheng's Hidden Dragon, and nothing he does is ordinary. In a word, he obliterated Sihai and became the chairman of the Century Group within three months.

The Century Group is one of the top ten groups in Sea City, with a complicated internal power struggle, and it's not something you can just take over as you wish.

Especially since the Century Group's former chairman Chen had a son and an heir, yet Li Fengtu intercepted halfway.

The online rumors about clinging on to a woman's coattails and benefiting off her are nonsense.

A group with nearly trillions in assets isn't so easily taken.

But what was the result?

The Century Group was indeed swallowed whole and then split among a group of piranha-like interest parties, leaving only a shell.

And from this devouring and division, as the mastermind, Li Fengtu gained possibly hundreds of billions, perhaps even reaching the trillions.

It's practically more lucrative than robbing banks.

She just didn't expect that right after Li Fengtu swallowed the Century Group, he was already eyeing a new target, honing in on Xu Family of Jingmen and the Longevity Sect.

Isn't this sheer audacity?

Indeed audacious, yet she didn't feel for a second that the other party was overestimating himself. Judging from that smile, he seemed to have everything under control.

Wang Xi felt a little dazed because she found herself somewhat conquered by this man. She always thought no man could conquer her.

Because those men, in her eyes, are a bunch of beasts thinking with their lower halves.

"It has begun."

Li Fengtu suddenly uttered inexplicably.

The next second, the car Li Fengtu was in came to a halt.

"Young Master, it seems there's been an accident ahead, and the road is blocked,"

the driver turned to say.

Li Fengtu showed a leisurely demeanor, "Shouldn't I light a cigarette now to calm my nerves? Open the sunroof."

"Yes!"

The Dragon Guards did not hesitate to press the switch to open the sunroof.

"Are you crazy?"

Wang Xi looked at Li Fengtu. Coming out in the car was already risky enough, and now Li Fengtu wanted to open the sunroof to smoke, wasn't this handing your head to someone on a silver platter?

Li Fengtu suddenly turned to look at Wang Xi.

"Where do you think Lin Changsheng and your mother would be watching me from now?"

"Hmm?"

Wang Xi was surprised to see Li Fengtu.

"They should be watching, right? After all, the assassination plot this time was designed with such precision, not to mention sacrificing you, such a precious daughter, as a pawn for me, just to have me focus on you."

"With so much at stake, wouldn't they want to witness my execution process firsthand?"

Li Fengtu suddenly smiled.

"Call your mother and tell them I'm going to change the location. We'll meet at Starbucks."

Wang Xi opened her mouth to look at Li Fengtu, who might have a gun aimed at his head yet remained calm as silk.

Huacheng Hidden Dragon.

He truly is a dragon.

"Alright."

Wang Xi felt a slight thrill in her heart. This man made her shiver, even making her fall for him.

Wang Xi picked up her phone and dialed a number.

A mobile phone ringtone sounded in a stylish and quiet café. It was on the third floor, with a perfect view of the adjacent street.

A pair of men and women sat at a booth, Dark Butterfly glanced at the phone number.

"Didn't expect him to call so quickly to change the location."

"It doesn't matter how he plans to change the meeting place. Ultimately, he can't escape your calculations, Mother. Didn't he already lose the moment he stepped out of Outer Heaven?"
