Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1726: The Lin Family Is Gone

Lin Family.

A meeting that’s not a family meeting!

Old Master of the Lin Family did not show up, or rather, he was not allowed to!

Lin Feng sat in the main seat, leaning against the chair, eyes closed, as if sleeping.

A cigar in the ashtray on the right side of the conference table was emitting a blue smoke, almost extinguished.

On the left side was a glass of red wine, but the color seemed very strange, red, very red, red to the point of being scary!

The sides of the conference table were filled with people, two generations of the Lin Family, including the current Family Head, Lin Feng’s father — Lin Tiankai!

However, instead of sitting in the main seat, Lin Tiankai was sitting in the first seat on the right, lower than his son, the Young Master of the Lin Family.

The first seat on the left was occupied by an old acquaintance — Second Master of the Lin Family, Lin Tianshen!

Yet, at this moment, he wore an eye patch on his left eye, his arms and legs hung limply, seemingly crippled.

And it wasn’t today that he became crippled!

The scars were already almost the same color as normal skin!

The first seat on the right was a brawny, stout Lin Tianfu, always a symbol of the Lin Family’s strength.

But now, this fierce man seemed to be controlling his breathing so slowly as if unwilling to disturb anything.

All three Dragons of the Lin Family were like this, not to mention the juniors of Lin Feng’s generation, all of them lowering their heads continually, as if that could make them vanish on the spot!

Finally, just as the cigar was about to extinguish completely, a hand picked it up, took a puff, reigniting it.

The perfect method of cigar smoking — when it’s almost extinguished!

It was Lin Feng’s hand.

The dense smoke was inhaled by Lin Feng!

This action made everyone shudder!

Being deeply immersed in this path for many years, Lin Feng definitely knew cigars weren’t meant to be inhaled, yet he did so now!

This anomaly felt as if everyone was inhaling that nicotine-heavy smoke into their bodies, their hearts beating unnaturally!

”So, tell me, why is my dear Second Uncle still alive?” Lin Feng spoke, spewing out dense smoke as he did.

Another very disrespectful action, making Lin Feng appear rebellious.

No one spoke, large beads of sweat dripping onto the ground.

For a moment, it wasn’t clear whose sweat it was or if it was everyone’s.

”My respected father, would you care to explain?” Lin Feng looked at Lin Tiankai, his father.

”Feng, after all, he’s your Second Uncle, my younger brother, back then...” Lin Tiankai, still Lin Feng’s father and the current Family Head, was not yet so afraid as to not speak at all.

”Oh?! Family ties?”

Lin Feng interrupted him, raising an eyebrow, ”My father, who only ever considers profit and thinks everything can be used as a bargaining chip, knows about family ties? That’s a surprise to me!”

”Why don’t you say that you have love for those women you revel with night after night?”

”After all, if that were true, I might believe it somewhat! Right, the husband who handed over his wife as a bargaining chip?”

These words instantly made Lin Tiankai’s face flush red.

These words were absolutely raw scars and insults to him!

Especially since these words came from his own son’s mouth!

He wanted to open his mouth to explain but after trying for a while, he still couldn’t say anything!

”Oh, maybe you want to remind me, not just this point, but also that your son was initially a bargaining chip, right, to marry some princess of some country? I can’t quite remember, care to remind me, Father?”

Lin Feng’s face showed no sign of aggressiveness, but rather appeared as if having a casual family chat.

Yet this demeanor made Lin Tiankai unable to say anything!

”Actually, I did want as a filial son to fulfill your wishes, didn’t I do pretty well in the past? Perfect image of a second-generation ancestor?” Lin Feng smiled brilliantly, ”If it weren’t for that one guy I met, absolutely would have been as you wished!”

”But you sold out the Lin Family!”

Already a cripple, Lin Tianshen suddenly yelled out, ”You’re not fit to be a part of the Lin Family?”

”So, I should sell myself?” Lin Feng chuckled, ”Oh, I forgot, I don’t need to sell myself now, haven’t I been sold this time?”

”So good! A crippled old steward and a disobedient descendant can sell for such a high price, a pretty piece of business!”

”Feng, listen to me, at that time...” Lin Tiankai opened his mouth wanting to explain.

”Alright! Explain! You want to explain, right?! I’m listening now! Give me the explanation you think can convince me! My father!”

Lin Feng slammed the table with a bang, instantly creating a big hole.

It was the first time Lin Feng’s emotions were agitated!

Lin Tiankai looked at Lin Feng, closed his eyes, and lowered his head!

He couldn’t convince Lin Feng!

No reason could convince Lin Feng!

Ever since he had found the data showing his son was coming after him from that experiment lab, he knew no one could ever convince him!

His son was even more ruthless than him! Much more ruthless!

No one could convince him, no one!

No, maybe, perhaps there’s someone, but not them!

”You!”

Lin Tianshen opened his mouth again!

Lin Feng swung his hand and threw the wine glass beside him!

”Splash!”

Lin Tianshen shut his mouth!

Simultaneously welcomed the fate he should have long met!

The wall immediately bore a stain of something unknown—whether blood or red wine, reducing the room’s temperature to the freezing point once more!

Silence filled the room for five seconds.

Suddenly!

Lin Feng laughed, shaking his head while laughing, laughing naturally, laughing freely, ”Ah! That idiot ultimately affected me!”

”I actually sat here talking to you, actually hoped to get a bit of comfort from you! Actually felt a bit sorrowful over the death of an old fool!”

”Truly, it seems my brain has been kicked by a donkey, or rather, by that idiot!”

Listening to his light-hearted and self-mocking speech, none present felt warmth return, instead, the chill deepened!

What was he, he, he, he going to do?!

”Don’t be afraid, afraid of what?” Lin Feng chuckled, ”You are my family, connected to me by blood, after all! How could I forget you when I had good things?”

”Come along, go with me, don’t you want money, want women, want everything? It’s all there!”

”Of course, as long as you can stay alive!”

Still ending with a smile, brilliant yet warm!

...

An hour later, Lin Tiankai sat in the now-empty Lin Family, with just him and Old Master Lin left, his hair rapidly turning gray!

The Lin Family was gone!
