Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After several tense minutes, Luo Feng had effectively neutralized four adversaries, leaving only one. The fifth brother, the remaining poacher, was hidden away, trembling with fear and drowning in regret.
Indeed, they were poachers, one of whom happened to be an ardent viewer of Luo Feng’s livestreams. This connection brought about a degree of familiarity that proved disadvantageous when Luo Feng discovered their traps. Initially, they planned to flee upon their revelation, but their greed clouded their judgment, and they decided to capture Luo Feng.
Capturing Luo Feng promised a profit that far surpassed their routine poaching earnings. After all, Luo Feng’s formidable net worth was no secret. They believed that his capture would put an end to their hardships.
Their daily routine was labor-intensive. They trapped wild animals, monitored and set the traps, transported the carcasses, and navigated the intricate process of finding reliable buyers. They were willing to kidnap and even kill for money. However, they grossly underestimated Luo Feng’s combat prowess.
“He’s astounding! The host has truly outdone himself!” a viewer exclaimed. “He’s like a deity! He’s single-handedly defeated them all!” another echoed. “Are we sure this isn’t a martial arts novel?”
“No martial arts novel would dare to depict such a scene! Five men with guns overpowered by a man with a hoe?”
“Is he Qiao Bangzhu?”
“No, he’s definitely Er Ge, the one who can kill with a pinecone!” “I reckon those guys were pitifully weak. I could have taken them!”
“Hilarious! You would have ended up as a corpse, just like them!”
From initial apprehension to utter shock, the viewers’ emotional journey was incredibly diverse. In just a few minutes, Luo Feng negotiated, fought, and resolved the entire situation. His wealthy followers, who watched in awe, breathed a sigh of relief.
Some of them initially considered joining Luo Feng in the combat but soon realized there was no need. Luo Feng could handle the situation himself while they remained spectators.
After Luo Feng’s victory, he enlisted a few courageous individuals from his followers to tie up the defeated poachers. The group leader, who had once thought he was facing his end, found himself conscious yet bound.
“Old Luo, hear me out. Please, let us go. We were merely trying to scrape a living. We never meant to kill you,” the group leader pleaded, revealing their plan to extract money without resorting to murder.
“Hmm,” Luo Feng remained skeptical.
Whether their pleas were genuine or not, it hardly mattered. Luo Feng had given them a chance to leave and promised to forget the incident. However, they ignored his warning and attempted to capture him.
Was Luo Feng expected to forgive such actions? The poachers were bold enough to kidnap in broad daylight, assuming that law enforcement would not reach this desolate area anytime soon. They were mistaken. Even if Luo Feng were not invincible, his followers could neutralize these miscreants within seconds.
The followers only stood back because they had been observing Luo Feng and knew that these men posed no significant threat to him. If they had rushed to assist, it would have only complicated the situation, and would have exposed their own presence.
Of course, they knew Luo Feng must be wearing a bulletproof vest, and even if he were to be hit by a bullet or two, it would not matter.
“Tell me, is everything you said earlier true? Was your intent only to kidnap me for money?” Luo Feng asked, scrutinizing their words.
He did not entirely disbelieve them, but it was necessary to draw out more information.
“Everything I said was true!” one of them insisted.
“Initially, when you discovered our traps and animal snares, we contemplated whether we should change our location since we had been exposed.”
“However, one among us pointed out that walking away from such a fortune would be missing a tremendous opportunity.”
“So, we decided to keep an eye on your livestream, observing whether you possessed any weaponry.”
“But we realized that your group was entirely unprepared—just some hoes and not even a single crossbow.”
“We, five people with firearms, were confident that we would win in a surprise attack.”
“After discussing, we decided not to run but to capture you instead.”
“However, we had not anticipated the intensity of your combat skills, the most formidable I have ever witnessed.”
The leader meticulously detailed the situation. Luo Feng, studying his gaze, could not detect any deceit.
“I cannot definitively say whether your words are entirely truthful, or whether there are others who hired or commanded you.”
“Let us wait for the police.”
“Or you may have to face a military tribunal. If someone from overseas hired you to kill me, this would no longer be a simple kidnap and murder case. It would escalate to a national security issue.”
Luo Feng continued, causing the captives to become visibly frightened, their faces ashen.
However, regret was futile now. It was time to face legal consequences.
Of course, Luo Feng’s suspicions were not without merit. He was immensely popular in his home country, and the national treasures he had unearthed were substantial. Even if he had not provoked any foreign interest, people would still covet his finds.
Moreover, many of the artifacts Luo Feng discovered had attracted the attention of foreigners—Japanese enthusiasts, large museums from the ‘Tiger Empire,’ and well-known collectors of cultural relics.
It was entirely possible that they were the ones who had hired these men
However, these were merely Luo Feng’s speculations. Who knew what the truth was? Only after an investigation would everything be revealed.
Half an hour later, a large group of armed police arrived in helicopters and took the men away.
Luo Feng continued to lead the group deeper into the military fortress.
Ahead, there was a rusty iron door.
“By the looks of it, this isn’t an ancient tomb!”
Upon reaching the lower levels of the fortress, Luo Feng pretended to explain.
“I wonder if anyone is inside!”
