Chapter 829 - 630: Utter Silence
When Lin Feng returned to the banquet hall, the dinner had already been going on for over half an hour, and most of the students and mentors had eaten their fill.
"Brother Feng, over here."
Seeing Lin Feng’s figure, He Jun shouted loudly, tiptoeing and waving repeatedly to signal.
Upon hearing He Jun’s voice, Lin Feng quickly spotted her, and after a slight smile, he walked in her direction.
"Lin Feng, why are you arriving only now?"
Chen Dali glanced at Lin Feng, somewhat complaining.
This was his first time losing his temper with Lin Feng.
In the past, he always tried to ingratiate and flatter Lin Feng, calling him "Brother Feng" repeatedly, even though he was much older than Lin Feng.
Tonight was the mentors’ farewell dinner; they had all arrived early and brought gifts, yet Lin Feng was late, with empty hands, clearly showing a lack of respect for the mentors.
Given the current situation, combined with Alfonso’s entanglement, it might be difficult to gather again with Master Alice.
There were quite a few people with complaints about Lin Feng, but faced with Lin Feng, who had already reached the Double King Realm, they didn’t dare to complain too much.
The majority of them, who could pass the third plan, relied entirely on the Avengers Alliance’s protection.
We could say they won by lying down.
Confronted with Lin Feng, they lacked much confidence.
"Something held me up."
Lin Feng didn’t apologize, instead casually glossing over it, then turned to Alice and said: "Master."
"Hmm."
Alice responded indifferently and didn’t ask further.
Lin Feng’s tardiness didn’t concern her; even if he truly missed it, at most, it would be somewhat regrettable.
After all, Lin Feng was her most satisfactory student.
Perhaps he would also become her greatest pride!
Lin Feng stood beside He Jun. While others were chatting with the mentors, he remained silent. After less than two minutes, he spoke to Alice:
"Master, I need to leave for a while."
"Go ahead."
Alice smiled, but as Lin Feng turned around, a hint of disappointment flashed in her ruby-like eyes.
She felt an unnamed urge to cry.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Feng soon arrived in the group where Leng Feng was and began conversing with Leng Feng.
"Lin Feng is too pragmatic, isn’t he?"
Someone muttered softly, with a hint of sarcasm in their voice.
Being late for the mentors’ farewell dinner for over half an hour, but without gifts, was forgivable; and impatiently leaving in less than two minutes to cozy up to other Emperor mentors seemed ungrateful.
In their eyes, Lin Feng’s behavior was too forgetful and lacking in basic courtesy.
Even if Master Alice had just Middle Rank Spirit King’s power and hadn’t taught him much, it shouldn’t justify such pragmatism.
As a mentor, Alice took care of her students without any superiority complex, interacting as friends.
Even without learning much, students were grateful to her.
They understood the purpose behind Alice’s recruitment but Alice never asked or mentioned anything.
Even now, as separation loomed.
"Alright, let’s not dampen the mentor’s mood."
Chen Dali frowned, saying.
He was also dissatisfied.
Because Lin Feng’s past achievements had been too dazzling, which subconsciously led him to believe Lin Feng was loyal, honorable, and trustworthy; at this moment, however, Lin Feng seemed hypocritical, unworthy of deep friendship.
Yet in his impression, Lin Feng wasn’t supposed to be this kind of person.
Did he change after becoming a king?
Indeed, Lin Feng was already a Double King strength.
Even Alice might not be his match.
Moreover, as the Avengers Alliance captain, with its strength and potential future growth, even Emperors needed to consider them seriously.
There’s no need for him to care about their and Alice’s opinion.
Meanwhile, when Lin Feng arrived, Leng Feng remained composed, after exchanging pleasantries, he asked in Mandarin: "Yu Qiao has already talked to me, have you really decided? No turning back on the draw!"
Leng Feng suddenly conversing in Mandarin with Lin Feng surprised his students, who could not understand but didn’t think much of it.
Of course, even if they understood, they wouldn’t grasp the meaning.
"Yes, we’ve thought it through, prepared for all potential consequences. This time, Master Leng Feng, no matter the result, the Avengers Alliance owes you a favor."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Good, as long as you’ve considered the consequences."
Leng Feng didn’t persuade.
It wasn’t necessary.
He saw through that Lin Feng truly wasn’t afraid.
Or rather, he was prepared to kill Alfonso and deal with possible repercussions.
Leng Feng didn’t know how many Kings the Avengers Alliance currently had, but he was sure if Lin Feng didn’t have some guarantee, he wouldn’t risk it.
Risking teammates’ lives.
Speaking of favors...
Given the Avengers Alliance’s current power, Lin Feng indeed had the right to speak these words.
This favor might seem trivial now but would be worthy in the future!
Very worthy!
The Avengers Alliance’s growth was too swift; it already commanded his regard.
Even he feared it somewhat.
If Lin Feng and the others had the confidence to kill Alfonso, naturally, they also had the capability to kill him.
"Thank you, Master Leng Feng."
Lin Feng paid his respects and left, returning to Master Alice.
This time, everyone appeared somewhat indifferent to his arrival.
Lin Feng didn’t mind.
The banquet lasted two hours, towards the end, the King Becoming program group sent a representative on stage to speak, saying thanks to mentors for their support, pointless and unenlightening babble.
The mentors didn’t care, nor did the students.
The speaker tactfully concluded in two to three minutes.
Once done, it marked the official end of the mentors’ farewell dinner.
Amid the students’ crowd, mentors left the banquet hall.
The previously lively atmosphere suddenly turned melancholy.
"Master Alice, take care of yourself."
"Master, I will miss you."
"Thank you, Master."
Chen Dali and others bid their last farewells to their mentor, some female students’ voices even carried a tinge of sobbing.
Contrasted with the others’ reluctance to part, Lin Feng stood at a distance, speechless, appearing particularly indifferent.
This further fueled the disdain of the already displeased students.
The previously perfect persona collapsed at this moment.
"Goodbye."
Alice waved to the crowd, and as she turned away, her eyes turned red.
She hated this farewell atmosphere.
To her, this banquet seemed completely unnecessary.
If possible, she would leave silently.
Each mentor took to the sky, Alice flapped her Spiritual Power Wings, flying to her friend’s side.
"Are you feeling a bit sad?" Betty asked.
Almost all of Betty’s students had been eliminated, leaving only two, so she wasn’t much saddened by parting.
Unlike Alice’s sensitivity.
More than just the sorrow of parting, there might be fear of the future.
Becoming a King Becoming plan mentor, Alice intended to escape Alfonso but now, the plan appeared to have failed.
When all 37 mentors were in position, about to depart, a voice suddenly echoed through the sky, silencing everyone, leaving them dumbstruck.
"Alice, would you be my girlfriend?"
