"Li Feng is dead?"

When Duan Qirui heard this news from the Dark Butterfly member driving, his eyes flickered, while Leng Feng beside him looked a bit incredulous.

Hearing their doubts, the Dark Butterfly member curled his lips.

"It's absolutely true. The Dark Butterfly Master personally set a series of traps. Even if Li Feng had godlike abilities, he still got caught and was blown to pieces. You both must have heard that explosion in Outer Heaven."

Duan Qirui and Leng Feng exchanged a glance.

"I did hear an explosion. I even looked out the window, thinking it was just an accident. I didn't expect it was because of this."

Leng Feng took a sharp breath and then looked up at the Dark Butterfly member driving.

"What's really going on? Tell it in detail."

Leng Feng had stumbled twice at Li Feng's hands: the first time on the river, where he attempted to intercept Li Feng, only for his subordinate, Blade, to lose an arm and himself to retreat in a panic, letting Li Feng return to Huacheng comfortably.

The second time he led a direct assault on Outer Heaven, intending to capture Li Feng, only to be knocked down by Li Feng, ending in total defeat, with his other vital ally, King of Fists, severely injured, leaving him a prisoner.

These failures left the self-proclaimed prodigy a bit ashamed, though he had to admit Li Feng was tough to deal with.

Even the hundreds of assassins from the old Ge Family, a force sufficient to dominate the Southeast Five Provinces, could not make a splash in front of Li Feng.

This greatest rival since his debut was killed by a group of women, which left him a bit disgraced.

The Dark Butterfly member, of course, did not hold back and recounted the incident with some embellishment.

After Duan Qirui heard it, he clicked his tongue slightly—it seemed the Dark Butterfly indeed spared no expense, even employing a doppelganger.

It might not entirely match the truth, yet it was enough for Duan Qirui to reconstruct most of the true events.

The Dark Butterfly was ruthless; they spared no expense to kill Li Feng.

Duan Qirui knew his adoptive father had a double, but very few knew about it. As Lin Changsheng's adopted son and trusted aide, he was privy to this secret.

The double was 90% indistinguishable; if you hadn't spent time with his adoptive father, you wouldn't tell the difference.

Of course, grooming such a double wasn't simple: it required multiple disguises, learning the habits, speech patterns, and most importantly, the aura—this last bit was the hardest.

Otherwise, even if one could mimic a cat to look like a tiger, flaws would show.

This time, to kill Li Feng, they sacrificed the double—that Li Feng was indeed something, given the double was akin to a life for his adoptive father.

"Seems it's true then,"

Leng Feng nodded, admiring the worthy opponent it took such a hefty price to eliminate.

Too bad he wasn't killed by his hand, leaving him with a bit of regret.

As they spoke, the car stopped under an overpass.

Duan Qirui and Leng Feng got out and transferred to the luxury car waiting there, while the previous SUV sped away, followed by two luxury sedans exiting the underpass and onto another road.

"Where are we going now?"

"You'll know when we get there."

The driver replied indifferently.

"Who do you think you're talking to? I'm Lin Wanzhou."

"Young Master Lin, calm down. You'll know once we get there." Duan Qirui glanced at Lin Wanzhou in the front seat, while Leng Feng looked at Lin Wanzhou with disdain.

"Useless guy."

"Hmmph!"

Lin Wanzhou snorted unpleasantly.

The car left Huacheng City's center, heading to a country resort just outside the city—a secluded place near the mountains and waters but not open to the public.

The car stopped inside the resort.

The occupants got out.

Lin Wanzhou got out, glancing over at Dark Butterfly and secretly swallowed—a top-notch allure, not just for her figure but for the mature charm that made Lin Wanzhou nearly unable to resist.

Moreover, the beauty beside this mature woman was equally exquisite, comparable to that of Mu Yuyan from Sea City.

"Ladies, you saved us, but I haven't had the pleasure of knowing your names."

Dark Butterfly glanced at the lecherous Lin Wanzhou, then swiftly kicked him in the shin.

Caught off guard, Lin Wanzhou fell to one knee with a thud.

"Do you know who I am? How dare you kick me! Do you believe I could have you crushed?"

Lin Wanzhou barked out as he glared upward, while Duan Qirui and Leng Feng behind simply swallowed, not impressed by the woman's looks but reflecting on how Lin Wanzhou dared to flirt with any woman.

Indeed, Dark Butterfly didn't coddle Young Master Lin, slapping him right there.

"I'm your dad's woman; try it again, and hmph."

Dark Butterfly coldly glanced at Lin Wanzhou and walked towards the resort's reception hall.

Wang Xi also threw a frosty look at Lin Wanzhou, dismissing him as she followed Dark Butterfly.

Lin Wanzhou covered his smarting cheek, looking at the two women walking away assertively.

"My dad's woman?"

"Just another mistress, and you dare slap my face." Lin Wanzhou gritted out, standing up.

If I don't bed you, then I don't deserve to be called Lin Wanzhou.

Duan Qirui and Leng Feng watched from behind, acting as if they saw nothing—that Lin Heavenly Master could give birth to something like this, perhaps he had given up on the main one, brewing a backup.

Otherwise, why let this second-generation heir run rampant?

However, such a fool was quite beneficial to them. If Lin Wanzhou were a diligent and talented heir to the Heavenly Master title, it would make things awkward for these adopted sons.

Through the resort's reception hall and along a corridor, they reached a fishing platform by the river.

"Heavenly Master."

"Godfather."

"Dad."

The group looked towards a middle-aged man fishing by the river, indistinguishable from that doppelganger, but wearing pristine white training clothes, his temples gray, holding the fishing rod steadily on the platform.

"You're all back."

"Mission accomplished. Huacheng's Hidden Dragon, Li Feng, has been eliminated, and everyone returned safely."

Dark Butterfly looked at Lin Changsheng, her eyes filled with tender affection—only this man could draw out such warmth in her gaze.

"And he's dead, truly a pity."

"Among the younger generation, Huacheng's Hidden Dragon Li Feng was quite remarkable—a dragon among men. If he could've been used...!"

Lin Changsheng sighed wistfully.

"Dad, I couldn't coexist with that Li guy; lucky he's dead, otherwise I'd make him wish for death."

Lin Wanzhou gritted his teeth; just thinking of how that bastard dressed him up as a woman and took him from the hotel was humiliating beyond measure.
