Chapter 121


    Heather’s gaze was filled with the admiration and respect of a schoolgirl. This was the intimidating


    Ashura she knew, the savior who’d rescued her. Meanwhile, Chu Feng copied the information and


    pictures on Heather’sptop onto his own phone, then said, “Anyway, this wasn’t all for naught.


    Even if the chances of finding this legendary monk is slim, at least I have something to work on


    instead of stumbling around like a headless chicken. Thank you, Heather.”


    Chu Feng was never the type toment his misfortunes. After joining the army at the tender age of


    15, he’d had countless near-death experiences by now. What was a measly Mandraka Poison to


    him? In Qin Shihuang’s words, he was so resilient that even the actual Lord of Hell himself wouldn’t


    dare collect his soul.


    “Don’t thank me, my Lord. It is my duty. My men will continue to search for leads, and see if there


    are alternative antidotes to this poison.” Heather breathed a sigh of relief, smiled sweetly, then


    started chatting with Chu Feng. After years apart, the two of them had much to catch up on and


    before long, it was sunset when Chu Feng nced at his wristwatch. “It’s almost five. I need to pick


    Duo Duo up from school.”


    “Alright, then. I’ll send you off.” Heather was reluctant, but she said goodbye anyway. She was a


    little envious of Yun Muqing for being able to make Chu Feng, a godlike man, settle down as a


    husband and a father for a peaceful life where all he had to do was to look after them. For countless


    rich girls in the West, this achievement was unattainable to them.

    However, just as Heather signalled for the bill, Xu Hai took the opportunity to emerge from the


    corner he’d stayed in. “How can a seven-foot tall man like you let the girl settle the bill? Have you no


    shame? No generosity?” He shamelessly started to lecture Chu Feng. After being ignored by him,


    Xu Hai was already itching for a chance to mock Chu Feng. Now that he had his chance to both


    mock Chu Feng and impress Heather, there was no way he’d pass it up.


    “Forgive my bluntness, mdy, but this weak excuse of a man cannot measure up to you at all if he


    won’t even pay for his own coffee. What can you even expect of him?” Xu Hai cast a dismissive look


    at Chu Feng, wishing he could stamp the man into the ground.


    “Talk like a loose cannon one more time and you’ll suffer the consequences.” Heather’s expression


    instantly turned frigid, the coldness apparent even in her gaze. In the West, anyone who dared to


    insult Chu Feng like Xu Hai did would already be a dead man.


    Xu Hai felt an inexplicable shudder. He was a little surprised that this Westerndy had such an


    intimidating persona, but that only added fuel to the fire of his greed and desire; he liked the sense


    of achievement that came from conquering a difficultdy. At that moment, Chu Feng nced at Xu


    Hai dismissively and said, “From what I can tell, you seem to be really confident in yourself? You


    think you’re better than me? More suited to her than I am?”


    Xu Hai scoffed with arrogance, “Of course! I’m the son of the Agricultural Bank of China’s local


    branch manager! I’ve got both the looks and the talent, so what makes you think you canpete?


    Once she bes my girl, I wouldn’t just be able to buy her coffee. I can buy her this entire cafe,


    and afford to let her shower in the stuff every day too!” Xu Hai waved his hand in a grand gesture


    that made countless girls in the cafe swoon, wishing they could leap into his arms right then and


    there.


    “Alright, you said it yourself.” Chu Feng nodded, then called for the manager, saying, “This young


    man wants to buy your cafe. Can you calcte how much he’d need to do that?”


    The manager froze, but didn’t dare offend Xu Hai when she noticed he was dressed like a wealthy


    and powerful person. So, she smiled and nodded before she began calcting. Five minutester,


    she smiled and nodded again. “Sir, if you include the cost of rental, overhead and equipment and


    the patent on our techniques, the total would be twenty million.”


    Chu Feng lifted his cup of coffee and nced at Xu Hai. “Twenty million, hmm? Cash, or credit


    card?”


    Xu Hai stiffened immediately and started stuttering as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.


    His father may be the manager of a bank, but that didn’t mean he actually owned it! Even a


    spendthrift like him only had an annual allowance of four or five million, and that was only enough to


    get a sports car when he wanted to show off in front of girls. How the heck was he going to raise


    twenty million?!


    “What, you can’t afford it? There’s no shame in admitting that, you know,” Chu Feng said calmly


    with a pointed look in his eyes. Heather, meanwhile, lifted a hand to conceal her amused smile; it


    was showtime.
