C21 Protect Yourself!

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Chu Tianyi felt a wave of emotion. He was acutely aware that Lin Feng's actions were all in the interest of his safety—a fact he understood all too well. He also recognized what he needed to do at that moment.

"Lin Feng, promise me you'll always protect yourself, no matter what. That's the most important thing I want to tell you right now. You should know that I'll always consider you my best brother."

With those words, Chu Tianyi left with an air of nonchalance. At this point, he had no other options. Departing was the only way to ensure his safety and avoid becoming a burden to Lin Feng.

"Enough, Lin Feng. I told you I wouldn't harm him, and I meant it. As gentlemen, I can at least offer you that assurance. I guarantee that if I say I can ensure the completion of this matter, I will follow through.

Let's settle our accounts. I'm curious to see what you'll say," Chu Feng stated as he began to close in on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng couldn't help but feel uneasy as Chu Feng continued to advance towards him. He was well aware of Chu Feng's exceptional abilities, having heard about them before. Chu Feng was not one to act rashly.

If he took action, it would mean someone had pushed him to his limit. It was unlikely that the elders would side with him. Lin Feng's mind raced with countless possibilities.

"What exactly is happening? What should I do now?" Lin Feng pondered, yet he remained silent. At this point, he couldn't afford to be rash.

"Speak up, Lin Feng. Either you apologize to my son today, or this issue won't be resolved satisfactorily. I believe you need to make a choice. I've never been one to start trouble.

But if someone tampers with my interests or crosses my line, I won't let them off easily," Chu Feng declared before bursting into laughter. He was well aware of his capabilities and knew precisely how to proceed to ensure everything went smoothly and prevent any mishaps.

The idea of apologizing to Chu Wenn was particularly hard for Lin Feng to stomach. He was not prepared to apologize at this juncture. He had his reasons and understood how to handle the situation at hand.

"Uncle, I really don't believe I've done anything wrong. Your son approached me looking for trouble. If I hadn't stood up for myself, how could I ensure my own safety? The outcome would have been uncertain, so I had no choice but to act to prevent this situation from escalating.

"He should be the one apologizing, not you. Do you think that's possible?" Lin Feng said, then fell silent. He believed he had handled everything as well as he could, and there was no need for further discussion.

"It doesn't matter to me whether he provoked you or not, but you chose to hit him, and that's unacceptable behavior. I can't control myself, so I must say this: if you don't apologize to my son today, I assure you that no one in the hall will help you with your affairs.

"I doubt anyone would dare to ensure your safety in my presence." After finishing, Chu Feng remained silent. He was confident in his abilities and his capacity to handle his responsibilities.

Lin Feng, growing increasingly irritated by Chu Feng's relentless talking, knew he had to make his position clear. Otherwise, it would only lead to more problems for him.

"Enough, Chu Feng. Just tell me what you want. If it's within my power, I'll help you. If not, I won't hesitate to show you the door. Don't think you can act recklessly just because you're my elder," Lin Feng yelled at Chu Feng.

He was baffled by Chu Feng's behavior and couldn't bring himself to accept it, which is why he felt compelled to confront him.

Chu Feng was taken aback by Lin Feng's assertive demeanor; he had never seen him speak up so boldly before and wondered what had changed.

"Go on, say that again, kid. Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're recovering from an illness," Chu Feng said, raising his hand threateningly.

As the slap neared his face, Lin Feng instinctively wanted to defend himself, knowing that if he didn't, it wouldn't just be a slap he'd suffer, but a blow to his reputation as well.

Lin Feng swiftly raised his hand and delivered a sharp slap to Chu Feng's hand.

At that moment, Chu Feng felt as though his arm was nearly detaching, and he immediately dropped to a squat on the ground.

Watching Chu Feng crouched there, groaning in distress, Lin Feng couldn't help but find the sight hilariously pathetic. He had previously urged Chu Feng to communicate clearly. Since Chu Feng had refused to clarify the situation and insisted on proceeding with his actions in Lin Feng's presence, Lin Feng was not about to let him off the hook so easily.

"How does it feel? Now you've witnessed my true power, I trust you can understand what I intend to do right now," Lin Feng said, closing in step by step, causing Chu Feng to continuously retreat in palpable fear.
