Chapter 1860 - 1856: Recruitment
As a Peak of Heavenly Rank Middle Stage expert.
The woman still maintains a certain dignity.
In fact, life is just like this.
Some people live miserably, groveling just for survival.
While others face life and death fearlessly, all for dignity, just to live honorably.
The woman is such a person!
Although she is not considered a top expert within the so-called Yan Hall, she is merely average.
But she still holds onto her dignity.
She would rather die standing than live kneeling in disgrace.
That’s simply not her style!
Seeing the woman’s resolute expression.
In Chen Feng’s eyes, there flashed a trace of admiration.
Honestly, putting aside the fact that the woman is a strong individual from Yan Hall.
Chen Feng still admired the woman to some extent.
Firstly, she is loyal enough to Yan Hall.
Secondly, she possesses the dignity befitting a Heavenly Rank expert.
Better to be shattered jade than intact tiles!
This spirit is not something the average person can possess.
Thus, as Chen Feng was about to summon his True Qi to act, his mind shifted, and he withdrew his True Qi.
In an instant, Chen Feng’s entire aura weakened; it was clear he didn’t intend to continue fighting.
Seeing this scene.
The woman was taken aback, furrowed her brow, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by this? Why did you retract your True Qi? Aren’t you intending to kill me anymore?"
"I can let you go, and you don’t have to surrender!"
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Why? What do you mean by this? Didn’t you say earlier that if I didn’t surrender, you must kill me? Otherwise, it would make you seem incompetent. But now, why are you letting me go?"
The woman asked with a face full of confusion.
"Although you are not a man, there is something I must say, I respect you. Even though you’re not a man, you are more of a man than some men!"
"Don’t misunderstand, I have no intention of insulting you with this statement. It’s your spirit that moved me! Your willingness to die for your dignity and beliefs shows your true essence isn’t flawed!"
"However, it’s unfortunate you followed the wrong master. But as you said, Yan Hall has nurtured you, and repaying them in this manner isn’t wrong at all!"
"Due to your loyalty and spirit of preferring death over losing your dignity! Today, I, Chen Feng, decide to spare your life. After all, in such a realistic world today, genuine people like you are truly rare!"
Chen Feng said slowly.
"You... really don’t intend to kill me? What about those two, can I take them away?"
The woman paused, asked tentatively.
"No!"
Chen Feng immediately rejected the woman’s request.
"Why? Since you already plan to let me go, why can’t you let them go too?"
The woman asked in confusion.
"They are not like you! You should just take care of yourself and not ask too much. I’m giving you this chance; if you want to leave, go quickly. But those two must die!"
Chen Feng said coldly.
He saw the woman as a genuine person, so he wanted to give her a chance at life.
But the Elder and middle-aged man were different.
These two had threatened Chen Feng with the lives of his family and Lin Mengyao.
For this, Chen Feng could not and would not forgive it!
So no matter what, he couldn’t let the Elder and middle-aged man go.
These two, he must kill.
"If you kill those two, where can I go? Even if I leave, where can I go? Return to Yan Hall? How could I explain it? Say they died by your hand, but I was let go unharmed? Who would believe that? Therefore, if you must kill those two, then kill me too! I can’t survive alone, and if I do, Yan Hall will never let me go!"
The woman said helplessly.
"In that case, how about I give you another path?"
Chen Feng’s lips curved slightly, speaking with a playful tone.
"What path?"
The woman asked, puzzled.
"A way out!"
Chen Feng smiled lightly, then said, "Honestly, I admire you and would like you to join our Chen Family. What do you think? Consider it; I value people like you. Once you join the Chen Family, it will be your support, and you won’t have to worry about Yan Hall hunting you!"
"Join your Chen Family? No, that’s impossible!"
The woman paused, quickly shaking her head.
"Why? Isn’t this your best option right now?"
Chen Feng asked, puzzled.
"Let’s put aside other matters; you’re aware of the current situation of your Chen Family, aren’t you? It’s practically unable to protect itself, right? You first killed the Great Elder Ming Kun of Yan Hall, and now you want to kill these two people. This accounts for a mortal enemy with Yan Hall!"
"It won’t be long before Yan Hall learns the truth and sends stronger experts to destroy your Chen Family, possibly even mobilizing Heavenly Rank Perfection level experts! When that time comes, your Chen Family will be destroyed!"
"As the saying goes, how can there be whole eggs under a toppled nest? If I join your Chen Family, I’ll be branded a traitor. Do you think Yan Hall will spare me then? Of course, this is the more realistic reason, but another reason is, I don’t want to betray Yan Hall!"
The woman took a deep breath and said.
"Do you really have so little faith in our Chen Family? If I dare to provoke Yan Hall, I’m not afraid of their retaliation! No matter how many experts Yan Hall sends, our Chen Family will take them on! There won’t be any issues!"
"I understand your thoughts; you see our Chen Family has just been established for less than a year, with few experts and scarce resources, incapable of competing against a top power like Yan Hall!"
"However, what I want to tell you is, what you see is just the surface! Our Chen Family stands till this day because we have certain reliances!"
"Take me for instance, even before Yan Hall acted against our Chen Family, they didn’t take me seriously either, intending to capture me and destroy our Chen Family, but what was the result? Now two of you are crippled, and only you remain, doesn’t this explain some things?"
Chen Feng’s lips curved slightly, speaking with a playful tone.
"What you say makes some sense, but it only shows we three are too weak. If more Heavenly Rank Perfection level experts came, how would your Chen Family withstand them?"
The woman retorted.
