Chapter 26 A villain meets his match
Shen Feng looked at Fatty Qian and Wang Anxiong, whose bodies were still tense; as he was about to speak again to get them to relax,
Fifth Master scrambled over in a panic, his face filled with terror. He now realized he had kicked an iron plate. Even Wang Anxiong, who respectfully addressed someone as master, would not dare to offend such a person. He had actually believed Immortal Master Wu's nonsense and tried to take hold of such an important person's money for himself? Wasn't he just asking for his life to be cut short!
"Master, I was blind, please don't stoop to the level of trash like me. Just let me go as if I were a fart!" Fifth Master said, even as he tried to grasp at Shen Feng's calves to beg for mercy.
Wang Anxiong's expression turned to anger, and he kicked Fifth Master's shoulder, sending Fifth Master tumbling to the ground, feet in the air.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"You better keep your distance from the master. Are your filthy hands even worthy of touching the master's legs? Are you complaining that your hands take up too much space? Well, I can help you with that and make those useless hands of yours disappear," Wang Anxiong said coldly. He had to use this opportunity to clearly express his allegiance in front of Shen Feng—not only to be forgiven for their previous offense but also to try and form some sort of connection with Shen Feng.
Scared out of his wits, Fifth Master quickly scrambled up from the ground and knelt in front of Shen Feng and Wang Anxiong, "Brother Wang, I truly realize my mistake now. It was all my fault for being blind. I swear there won't be a next time."
Immortal Master Wu, who had pissed himself, kept shaking his head, unable to believe this was real.
The first time he met Shen Feng, he looked completely like a beggar; the second time he met Shen Feng, he was setting up a street stall just like him, scamming people of their money. How could such a person have any relationship with Wang Anxiong? If there was a relationship with Wang Anxiong, then there was no need to scam money on the streets.
Thinking he had figured it out, Immortal Master Wu began shouting recklessly, "Brother Wang, this kid is a swindler, I can swear on my life that he was scamming money at the hospital gate earlier. You must believe me! Don't be fooled by this boy."
"The snake skin bag on his back contains the seven hundred thousand he swindled. I saw it with my own eyes. He sold someone a bottle of mineral water, and even claimed that the water could cure all diseases," Immortal Master Wu continued desperately, as if grasping for a last straw, his neck turning red with the effort and veins bulging on his forehead.
Upon hearing Immortal Master Wu's words, the expressions of Wang Anxiong and Fatty Qian did change dramatically.
Noticing this detail, Immortal Master Wu thought that Wang Anxiong had begun to doubt Shen Feng's identity too. In his view, Shen Feng must have used some petty tricks to temporarily fool Wang Anxiong.
But he didn't pause to consider who Wang Anxiong was. Could he really be deceived by some petty tricks? Right now, Immortal Master Wu was utterly confused and couldn't think straight.
"Brother Wang, if you don't believe me, you can go and investigate near The First People's Hospital. It wasn't just me who witnessed this," Immortal Master Wu babbled on.
Big Yellow Teeth and Curly Hair also hurried to vouch for Immortal Master Wu, thinking along the same lines as him.
Fifth Master glared fiercely at Green Hair and others who were itching to intervene, signaling them to stay put. He was far calmer than Immortal Master Wu. Until the matter became clear, he dared not make any moves.
After exchanging glances, Wang Anxiong and Fatty Qian knew, having seen Shen Feng's capabilities, that he would not make empty claims. If he said he could cure all diseases, he meant it.
In their eyes, selling that bottle of mineral water for merely seven hundred thousand was a steal.
If such a miraculous water ended up in Wang Anxiong's hands, he was confident he could sell it for over a billion. There was no shortage of wealthy people in Huaxia.
In the end, no matter how much money one has, it's just a number. The major families in first-tier cities, even those in the Capital City, would certainly be interested in such water.
Wang Anxiong sighed lightly and turned his gaze to Shen Feng.
Just as Immortal Master Wu thought Wang Anxiong would question Shen Feng, he saw Wang Anxiong shake his head and say, "Master, that bottle of water you sold was too cheap, just a mere seven hundred thousand. If I had known earlier that you had such water, I would have been willing to pay seventy million for it."
Huh?
Immortal Master Wu felt as though an egg was stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless. Watching the sincere expression on Wang Anxiong's face, he felt like he was going insane. That bottle of mineral water was originally taken from him by Shen Feng, who had simply added a strange leaf to it. Are all rich people idiots now?
Seeing the clear stance from Wang Anxiong, Fifth Master saw his opportunity; he charged forward and confronted Immortal Master Wu.
"Smack!"
A slap landed fiercely on Immortal Master Wu's face as he yelled, "How dare you slander a master like that? Look at yourself—what is your worth?"
Fifth Master, having punched and kicked Immortal Master Wu, ended up in this predicament, a situation entirely orchestrated by Immortal Master Wu himself. At this moment, he wished nothing more than to flay Immortal Master Wu alive.
Although Fifth Master didn't believe in the idea that a bottle of water could cure all diseases, he just needed to follow Wang Anxiong's lead, and he didn't care whether Shen Feng was a swindler or not.
The green-haired young men and their ilk, who were undoubtedly under Fifth Master's wing, didn't hesitate to throw punches at Big Yellow Teeth and Curly Hair upon seeing their boss make a move.
Shen Feng furrowed his brows; he didn't want to waste any more time.
Wang Anxiong sensed Shen Feng's impatience and asked, "Master, how do you wish to deal with them?"
Shen Feng saw no need to stoop to the level of these ants, "Have those two slap each other in pairs, and starting tomorrow, I don't want to see them in Wuzhou."
Wang Anxiong understood Shen Feng's intention. It was nearly impossible to kill Fifth Master and others in broad daylight due to legal constraints, after all.
Of course, if Wang Anxiong wanted Fifth Master and his gang to disappear, he merely had to give the word at night, and he could effortlessly eradicate these scum from the world without anyone being the wiser.
"Stop."
Wang Anxiong bellowed, and as Fifth Master and his gang turned their gaze towards him, he continued, "The master does not wish to hold a grudge against you this time. You should be thankful for the master's great leniency. Now pair up and slap each other; I want you to use all your strength. Otherwise, you'll not live to see tomorrow's sun."
"And starting tomorrow, let me not find out that you're still in Wuzhou. You should be well aware of my methods, Wang Anxiong. Don't harbor any delusions of luck."
Shen Feng pointed at Immortal Master Wu and Fifth Master, "The two of you, slap each other."
He then turned to the green-haired youth and Big Yellow Teeth, "How about the two of you, do you still want to enlighten me about who Fifth Master is?"
The green-haired youth shook his head vigorously, his face turning pale with fright.
Immortal Master Wu and Fifth Master made one pair, Big Yellow Teeth and the green-haired youth made another, and Curly Hair naturally ended up pairing with one of Fifth Master's men.
Fatty Qian said with a smile, "You can start now."
Fifth Master dared not disobey the order, and looking at Immortal Master Wu in front of him, rage filled his heart. He had not easily made a name for himself here, only to slink away from the city in disgrace, all because of Immortal Master Wu before him.
At that thought,
Fifth Master fiercely slapped Immortal Master Wu, and with a "smack!" Immortal Master Wu's body staggered, and a handprint appeared on his cheek.
Immortal Master Wu's anger flared as well, showing no mercy, knowing Fifth Master would not let him off. He might as well indulge in retaliation now.
"Smack!"
Fifth Master felt a searing pain on his face and roared, "You damned dog, how dare you hit so hard!"
His hand swung out even more fiercely, followed by another "smack!"
The green-haired youth and Big Yellow Teeth also began slapping each other.
The sound of "smack! smack! smack!" incessant, turning into a rather peculiar spectacle within the Antique City.
Shen Feng had no intention to linger and continued towards the bustling area inside Antique City. Wang Anxiong tentatively asked, "Master, may we follow you? In case any more trash tries to disturb you, we can take care of them."
Wang Anxiong and Fatty Qian held their breath, watching Shen Feng carefully.
Seeing a nod from Shen Feng, they both excitedly clenched their fists. Fatty Qian said, "Master, this way please. I'm quite familiar with Antique City; allow me to give you a proper introduction."
