Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1683: Chapter 1717: Teasing the Mercenary Beauty

”Hey, beauty, people say ’know each other through a fight,’ but you shot at me before we got acquainted. Isn’t that a bit too hasty?”

Lin Zifeng pinned her down; the woman’s delicate body couldn’t move an inch.

”Let her go! Let her go!”

At this moment, the complainer grunted in pain, angrily slammed his fist on the ground, grabbed a handgun, and shouted at Lin Zifeng’s head.

”I told you to let her go! Did you hear me?”

Right now, everyone present was very tense about the strength Lin Zifeng displayed, fearing for their partner’s safety.

”Okay, I can let her go. But first, you need to hear me out.” Lin Zifeng shrugged and got up from the woman. But just as he stood up, the woman, unwilling to concede, laid on the ground, wrapped both legs around Lin Zifeng’s thighs like a Spiritual Snake, and then exerted force to trap his knee.

However, Lin did not fall to his knees, surprising the woman, so she quickly got up, opened her arms, and tried to wrap Lin Zifeng’s body to trap him with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

”Don’t move!”

The complainer seized the chance, rushed forward holding an assault rifle, almost within two or three steps from Lin Zifeng, aiming the gun at his head.

”Bang!”

From just two or three steps away, the complainer fired. He thought there would be blood and gore flying, but after the shot, Lin Zifeng’s head remained intact—no blood flower.

He just stood there quietly, his calm gaze made everyone shiver.

”Is it enough? Can you stop and listen to me for a second?” Lin Zifeng looked at them just like that.

The complainer was completely stunned, with a clang, his assault rifle slipped to the ground, and he froze.

And the woman who had clung to Lin Zifeng’s thigh also let go. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone knew that if Lin Zifeng really wanted to kill them, it could be done in an instant.

Why did he keep showing restraint?

”You, you...”

The complainer sat down heavily on the ground; ever since Lin Zifeng appeared, no one had been calm. Everyone’s nerves were highly strung.

”May I ask why this friend suddenly appeared in front of our team?”

The bald-headed leader walked up to Lin Zifeng, setting down his weapon, speaking with a drastically different attitude than before. He was smart and understood the situation; if Lin wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.

As the captain of the mission, he had a remarkable mind.

Lin Zifeng shrugged, tidied up his clothes, and then smiled with relief.

”Are you here for Liu Shen’s Tomb?” Lin Zifeng asked directly. They no longer held hostility against him, knowing well if Lin Zifeng truly wanted them dead, it would be too easy.

”Yes. May I ask what your purpose is?” The bald man was a typical Black person, with full lips, and a sturdy physique.

He wasn’t surprised by Lin Zifeng’s question; they had seen many team organizations heading to Kunling Mountain along the way.

”I was chased by enemies to here, heard about the treasure rumors at Kunling Mountain, so I thought I’d join the fun, to take a peek.” Lin Zifeng said, ”I saw you being a team, and I am alone, not convenient, so I thought I’d tag along with you. Didn’t expect you’d treat me this way. Luckily, everyone calmed down in time.”

”I apologize on behalf of our team. Due to the emergence of Supreme Treasure at Kunling Mountain’s Liu Shen’s Tomb recently, many peculiar people have come along. To ensure survival, we have to be cautious.” The bald Black man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Lin Zifeng was an enemy.

”Oh? Is there really a Supreme Treasure emerging from Kunling Mountain? So intriguing? No wonder I saw so many experts heading deep into Kunling Mountain, seems like there’s going to be a good show to watch.” Lin Zifeng shrugged, took out cigarettes, handing one to each of them, and then laughed, ”I wonder if you’d accept a new member and let me join you going deep into Kunling Mountain for the excitement? You can rest assured, when the Supreme Treasure emerges, I won’t compete for it. With so many experts, there’s little chance for me.”

Lin Zifeng expressed clearly he wouldn’t participate, preventing their eight-man team from excluding him.

”If this friend wishes to join, of course, you can tag along.” The bald man remained silent, but the complainer stepped forward and spoke.

He knew that at this moment rejecting wasn’t an option; if they refused, fearing for their lives given Lin’s profound skills. Better agree outright.

Lin Zifeng nodded without continuing idle chatter, everyone smart enough knew the misunderstanding was cleared; no need to dwell further.

He turned to look at the beauty.

”Hello, my name is Lin Tianfeng. Nice to meet you.” Lin Zifeng reported a wrong name.

The woman rolled her eyes, disdainfully glancing at him, and coldly said, ”Dainelle.”

After reporting her name, she turned and ignored Lin Zifeng.

”Such a temperamental woman~” Lin Zifeng shook his head. Soon, after resolving their misunderstanding, the bald leader also agreed to let Lin Zifeng travel with them.

Still not knowing Lin Zifeng, Dainelle was very cautious of him, repeatedly suggesting to leader Thomas not to take him along.

But didn’t Thomas also wish to ditch him?

Given Lin’s skills, even if everyone joined forces, they couldn’t rival him alone. Better to keep the peace and play along with him. With such a powerful ally for protection, where else would you find such a situation?

Importantly, Lin showed no intent to kill them, and if not taking him along, who knows when he might lash out, really retaliate, they’d be doomed.

”John, I feel we shouldn’t take him with us without knowing him well. He poses a threat to us!”

Dainelle was still uneasy about Lin Zifeng’s presence.

The complainer smiled slightly, didn’t say anything.

With many dangers lurking, having no powerful expert following would mean dying without knowing how.

With such a strong guardian, who wouldn’t want it?

They were using Lin Zifeng for protection, while Lin Zifeng was using them to locate Liu Shen’s Tomb.

Seeing everyone ignored her, Dainelle angrily glared at Lin Zifeng.

...

Soon, they crossed several peaks, everyone exhausted to the extreme. Due to the tough mission, as mercenaries, they naturally carried heavy weapons, and long treks had left them tired and thirsty.

”Hey, friend, in this godforsaken Kunling Mountain, aren’t you afraid of the dangers?”

John personally handed Lin Zifeng a cup of water.

Previously, Lin Zifeng told them he was fleeing from enemies, being forced to come here. While they were doubtful, due to the emergence of the Supreme Holy Weapon at Kunling Mountain, it was hard to believe he came truly to escape enemies.

But since he didn’t say more, others were too lazy to ask further. Playing dumb, once using Lin Zifeng for protection, nearing Liu Shen’s Tomb, they’d ditch him.

(Asking for the monthly ticket...)
