Shortly after the farce was over, Zhao Xin walked toward Xu Feng and said coolly, "You've really grown your wings now eh."
"Wings?" Amused, Xu Feng spread his arms wide. "I didn't expect you to realize I'm an angel. Quick, bow before this majestic angel."
"..."
Ignoring his sarcastic remark, Zhao Xin turned to her little brother and said, "Do you see your dear friend's attitude now? He's even teasing your eldest sister because he got stronger."
Zhao Kai smiled bitterly in response.
'Why me again?' He cried inwardly. Whenever these two would bicker or have a somewhat disagreement, the person to bear the burn was him.
How unfair was this?
"Feng, can't you spare me the trouble for once?" Zhao Kai pleaded for mercy from him. "If you keep teasing my eldest sister, then I'm the one who's going to suffer later on."
Nodding, Xu Feng decided to let the matter go.
His expression then turned solemn and he said, "Miss Xin, I don't wish to invade your family matters, but keep in mind. If your father and brothers do not know the limit of their reach, then don't blame me for not giving you face."
The current him was no longer that poor orphan with low status, but someone secretly rich and influential. To be insulted and yelled at wasn't what the likes of Zhao Heng or Zhao Liang could afford to do anymore.

Xu Feng was positive that Zhao Xin understood this part as well.
After all, till now, the incident of Allison and him being ambushed wasn't revealed to the public. Thus, it was evident enough that forces behind the scenes had made a move.
And when these forces made a move, those with similar status would instantly receive news about it.
Based on Zhao Gaofu and Zhao Xin's reaction earlier when he released his aura, it became clear to him that these two knew he was an Energy Force fighter.
As for the rest of the Zhao Family, they remained unaware of the matter. Otherwise, there was no way Zhao Liang would have the nerve to raise his voice against an Energy Force fighter, even if their age was younger.
It wasn't that Zhao Liang couldn't afford to offend one, but doing so was just ridiculous and pointless unless the enmity was irreconcilable.
"I understand." Zhao Xin said with a bittersweet tone. She had a feeling that if it weren't for Zhao Kai, then Xu Feng would have already fallen out with her Zhao Family.
Worse, they might even find it difficult to remain in their position.
'Grandfather said Feng is being held in high regard by Uncle Ning Huo, which means the chance of him participating in the city competition is almost guaranteed.' Zhao Xin was relieved that she never once treated Zhao Kai as an outsider.
Even though she did it out of her own will without any influence, it was hard for her to not be relieved now that Zhao Kai's friend was about to become a big shot. One that could easily topple their business as long as he wanted.
A business that was at the top of the pyramid would be hard to topple, but when trying to go against a city that would do their best to ban you regardless of the consequences, then that became a simple task.
It might hurt the city, but if doing so could bring them more profit in return, then they would do so without hesitation. This was also why those who are Energy Force fighters and showed immense potential were placed in high regards.
Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could become one. Aside from the amount of resources required to grow, the main foundation and key point was their innate talent.
Of course, that was just the current conception that everyone had. None of them truly knew the actual truth that Xu Feng concealed deeply.
The Divine World was the one to break that so-called rule or law. Xu Feng wasn't someone talented to become one as well, but by immersing himself with the Divine World, he gained the talent to become one.
As the two remained silent, seemingly trying to ponder their moves, Zhao Kai became dumbfounded.
'Are these two silent flirting?' Zhao Kai thought before shaking his head. 'No, how can silent flirting be so intense that I feel suffocated instead.' Experience tales at Freewebnovel
In the end, Zhao Kai coughed loudly and said, "Ahem, it's getting late, eldest sister. I think you should return to grandfather while I go with Feng."
Oddly suspicious of him, Zhao Xin asked Xu Feng, "Where are the two of you going at such a time?"
It was already nighttime, so most of the places were closed by now.
"Oh, we're going to the High Table Club. They just opened and now is the prime time to go there." Xu Feng answered honestly, not bothering to conceal they were about to head toward the restricted age kind-of club.
Meanwhile, Zhao Kai's face turned ashen white, almost as if his life essence had been sucked dry.
He stared at Xu Feng silently, but from his expression, it was clear that he was trying to yell: Why did he tell the truth?
"You've grown wings too eh, Kai." Zhao Xin smiled coldly and glared at him.
"I didn't grow wings." Zhao Kai cried aloud and continued, "I'm a human through and through. Also, it was Feng who threatened me to go to the High Table Club with him. Otherwise, he's going to ask the Guild Leader to boot me out of the Vanguard Guild. You wouldn't want to lose that kind of connection, right?"
"..."
Speechless, Zhao Xin was at a loss of words after hearing that kind of defense claim.
"Is that true, Feng?" She turned her gaze to him, seemingly surprised that he was interested in club-like activities.
At first, Xu Feng wanted to deny it, but after seeing the pitiful and begging face of Zhao Kai, he realized something.
"Sigh, it's the truth." Xu Feng facepalmed and pursed his lips. "Kai said he wanted to get laid but also didn't know how to be laid and was too cowardly to socialize. So I threatened to kick him out of the guild unless he went to the club with me to actually socialize."
