The red dots swayed on and around Li Feng, clearly indicating that there were quite a few guns aimed at him in that moment.

Lin Changsheng stretched his body, put down the fishing rod in his hand, and turned to look at Li Feng. "Over the years, many have wanted to kill me, but very few could actually pose a threat."

"Back then, my benefactor saw that my development had gone beyond his control, and he even wanted to eliminate me."

"Ha, he still thought I was that kid who had nothing, thinking that one word from him could trample me underfoot again."

"Do you know what I did? I took out his bodyguard, then broke his legs with a baseball bat."

"I even found the woman I fell for at first sight back then. Do you know how she looked when she saw that high-and-mighty young master of the Xu Family?"

"She knelt down and begged me, even wanting to lick my feet, as pathetic as a dog. At that moment, I truly felt disillusioned."

"This was not the high-and-mighty, untouchable woman I liked; I made her bark like a dog, and she actually did."

"This is human nature."

Lin Changsheng finished with calmness, stood up from the bamboo chair, and looked down at Li Feng. "As I said before, I am not going to be trampled underfoot by anyone else; I want to control others' destinies, not have others control mine."

"Li Feng, I truly admire you."

"If it weren't for what happened before, perhaps I could really partner with you. But you and I are the same kind of people. Just like how you listened to me tell a story, you knew I was stalling, yet you still didn't make a move."

"I don't know what your trump card is, but I do know you're not someone who changes easily. You won't spare me just because I shared a story or because I gave you what you wanted."

Lin Changsheng said.

Li Feng smiled, curling his lips. "You are very right, but there's one thing you got wrong."

"Oh?"

Li Feng looked at Lin Changsheng and said, "Your biggest mistake was in provoking me. Perhaps until today, you never saw me as your opponent. That was your greatest mistake."

"Also, you said you like to control other people's destinies rather than have them control yours. I agree with you on that."

"Destiny is something best held in one's own hands."

Lin Changsheng, looking at Li Feng's sharp words, said solemnly, "Li Feng, you are indeed very different."

"Here is the key to a bank vault. What you want is in that vault. If you can leave here alive today, the key is yours!"

Lin Changsheng finished, tearing off a metal accessory he carried, and casually tossed it into the fish pond in front of him.

Li Feng was about to move, when he heard the sound of something piercing through the air. In the next second, an alloy steel crossbow arrow pierced through the wooden board beneath his feet, embedding deeply into it.

The tail of the crossbow arrow continued to quiver from the force.

At a range of thirty to fifty meters, the power of a crossbow is akin to a bullet. It's difficult to acquire firearms, but much easier to get crossbows.

Modern alloy steel crossbows equipped with red dot sights are absolute kill machines at close range, even more brutal than bullets.

For Lin Changsheng to appear in this resort without solid bodyguards by his side would be unthinkable.

If the Dark Butterfly is dedicated to Lin Changsheng's dirty work, then the Dark Shadows, his bodyguards, exist solely to protect him.

If Li Feng had acted directly earlier, it might have been troublesome, but when he listened to the story, the Dark Shadow bodyguards were already in position.

Someone like Lin Changsheng, constantly under the shadow of assassination, ensures his own protection round the clock, more meticulously than some small nation leaders.

"Heavenly Master, you should leave first. I'll take his head to meet you."

The Dark Butterfly bit her teeth, not expecting Li Feng to escape her sure-kill strike and track her here, cornering her before Lin Changsheng.

"Wang Xi, what are you standing there dazed for? Kill him for me," the Dark Butterfly turned to Wang Xi, who was standing dumbfounded beside her.

Wang Xi appeared a bit hesitant.

"What's the matter? Are you defying my order just because you slept with him once? Are you rebelling?"

"Don't think he considers you his woman. Don't forget who you are. You're my daughter, and you must kill him. You really think he would keep you by his side and not fear you killing him someday?"

"Don't be naive. You should know better than anyone else what men are like."

The Dark Butterfly spoke, tossing a dagger toward Wang Xi. "Take this dagger and kill him, or you know the consequences of betrayal."

The Dark Butterfly spoke coldly.

To all of this, Lin Changsheng did not even look. He was preparing to leave. Although Li Feng was currently in the sights of countless red dots, Lin Changsheng still didn't relax his guard one bit.

Li Feng stood in the same spot, squinting at the directions from which the red dots originated. Lin Changsheng was evidently very afraid of death, but then again, those not afraid of death had long died. It's by being so cautious that he's survived to today.

Additionally, who would've thought Lin Changsheng would have so much hidden strength at his side?

No wonder even the Xu Family's Dark Hall couldn't do anything about him.

Wang Xi shot a glance at Li Feng, then looked down at the dagger, feeling immensely conflicted, but ultimately bent down to pick up the dagger.

The Dark Butterfly stood nearby, watching Wang Xi pull out the dagger, a cold sneer playing at her lips, her eyes, however, turned toward Li Feng.

"Li Feng, you once claimed she was your woman. Now I'm curious, as your woman wants to kill you, what will you do?"

The Dark Butterfly chuckled coldly.

Wang Xi, holding the dagger, looked at Li Feng with complex emotions, and Li Feng returned the gaze. Their eyes met, and Wang Xi, biting her teeth, hesitated for a moment.

"Do it. If you don't, you know what happens. With so many crossbows aimed here, you have no chance to escape," Wang Xi said, seemingly to validate this point, raising her hand and wiggling her finger.

The next second.

Only the sound of whizzing filled the air, with the wolf tooth arrowheads cutting through the air from various angles beside Li Feng and Wang Xi before piercing the wooden boards underfoot and embedding themselves in the ground.

Seeing that, Wang Xi did not hesitate any longer. She raised the dagger and lunged at Li Feng. Wang Xi was no mere decoration; having undergone years of combat and assassination training, she struck without mercy.

The Dark Butterfly, observing, sneered mockingly.

"Li Feng, you wouldn't really fall for my daughter, would you? She may be stunningly beautiful, the epitome of allure, and born smart and charming, even I dote on her greatly. Still, you wouldn't think winning her over in one night makes her your woman, do you?"

"If you don't fight back, she will genuinely kill you."

The Dark Butterfly spoke, arms crossed in front of her, constantly provoking.

"Why?"

Li Feng suddenly looked at the Dark Butterfly and asked.

The Dark Butterfly gave a faint smile. "Why? Because she is merely a tool, and a tool should have no emotions."

"That night, she was doomed."
