Chapter 1025: Chapter 1030: Hesitation to Act
Lin Feng quickly noticed that Ning Aoxue and Su Zi were acting strange. Worried for their safety, his aura suddenly receded, and he realized the woman across from him was wearing a cold smile of triumph. In the next moment, the air around him pressed in like four invisible walls!
"Do you know the phrase ’throwing a rat with a device’?," Aunt Hua sneered at Lin Feng. "Both those beauties are your classmates, aren’t they? With your heart tied to them, how could you be my opponent..."
"Damn..." Lin Feng glanced at Aunt Hua, a deep anger flashing in his eyes.
To think this woman was using Su Zi and Ning Aoxue as hostages, bullying him into not attacking with full force, Lin Feng was about to explode with rage!
However, Lin Feng struggled to control his anger. He knew that this was the opponent’s tactic, exploiting every means possible on the battlefield for victory. Lin Feng understood that she was deliberately trying to provoke him!
"You’re an unworthy servant who uses your master to threaten an opponent... I can still defeat you without releasing my Inner Strength!" Lin Feng sneered, holding a long Silver Needle aimed at Aunt Hua’s throat.
"Unworthy servant?!" Aunt Hua’s pupils couldn’t help but tremble upon hearing these words from Lin Feng. She almost went crazy with anger. Although she worked for the Su Family, she was neither a servant nor an unworthy one. However, Lin Feng’s words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing her heart, leaving her speechless!
Lin Feng smiled without speaking, but the certainty in his eyes left Aunt Hua feeling even more speechless.
"Hmph... Lin Feng, I know what you intend to do, but I won’t let you succeed!" Aunt Hua coldly glared at Lin Feng, suddenly sidestepping in a flash and lunging towards Su Zi’s side. Before Lin Feng could respond effectively, Aunt Hua actually grabbed Su Zi’s arm, placing her in front...
"Come on... Lin Feng, I know your Throwing Needle is powerful! I want to see if you can attack your old classmate..." Aunt Hua sneered at Lin Feng, her face full of glee, as she carelessly used Su Zi as a human shield.
"You dare use your master as a shield! You’re courting death!" Lin Feng’s face darkened, confirming that this woman across from him wasn’t entirely ignorant of him. She likely had precautions against all of his abilities...
"Why not?" Aunt Hua said flatly, looking at Lin Feng. "My duty is to ensure Miss’s safety; I’m sure you won’t harm her. Using her as a shield protects both of us... As long as Miss can return safely to the Su Family, I’ve not only avoided fault but gained merit. What’s there to fear?"
"Lin Feng... you, you should leave first..." Su Zi looked at Lin Feng with some panic. She wasn’t afraid he’d attack her; she was just worried that Lin Feng might not be Aunt Hua’s match and would suffer...
"Su Zi, don’t worry, I won’t get hurt... I will ensure you stay!" Lin Feng appeared calm, speaking with a light-hearted tone to Su Zi.
"Hmph, such bold words!" Aunt Hua sneered, her gaze cautious as she eyed the long Silver Needle in Lin Feng’s hand. She had indeed received the Su Family’s investigative treatment, knowing Lin Feng’s Throwing Needle was incredibly powerful and stealthy, allowing him to challenge experts and needed special attention...
But seeing the thick, long Silver Needle in Lin Feng’s hand, Aunt Hua was curious. How could such a long needle be stealthy?!
However, while Aunt Hua was thinking this, she suddenly felt a chill at her neck, followed by an Inner Strength penetrating her body. Next, half her body went numb, then a gust of wind sounded before her eyes as Lin Feng’s figure quickly approached. With a reach of his hand, he snatched Su Zi away from Aunt Hua!
Aunt Hua looked at Lin Feng in shock; she had no idea how he made the move or why her neck acupoint was numbed!
The entire room went silent; even Ning Aoxue didn’t know what had happened. They only saw a blur before their eyes as Lin Feng took Su Zi from Aunt Hua.
Feeling dizzy while embraced in Lin Feng’s familiar masculine scent, Su Zi was temporarily intoxicated.
"You actually dared to snatch her!" Aunt Hua stared at Lin Feng, surprised and in disbelief...
"Hmph, saying I ’throw a rat with a device’, but you’re doing the same!" Lin Feng sneered. "Would you dare harm your master? Since you don’t dare truly hurt her, why wouldn’t I dare snatch her away..."
Aunt Hua’s eyes sparkled with astonishment, the depth of surprise growing in her eyes, "What was your move just now, why was there no trace at all?!"
"Are we familiar?" Lin Feng lightly chuckled, shaking his head, "Why would I tell you..."
At that moment, Su Zi finally came to her senses, looking at Lin Feng with surprise and satisfaction, her face showing indisputable triumph, "Lin Feng, you actually won..."
"Hmm..." Lin Feng pretentiously nodded, glanced at Aunt Hua, and said with a laugh, "Winning against a woman, there’s no honor!"
"How could it be?" Su Zi said, her face both thrilled and excited as she spoke to Lin Feng, "Aunt Hua is a genuine expert from the Emei Faction, very skilled... You defeating her is truly remarkable!"
After speaking, Su Zi turned to Aunt Hua, speaking in a commanding tone, "Aunt Hua, since you couldn’t protect me, just tell my dad I’m out with classmates tonight, I won’t be going back..."
"Miss?!" Aunt Hua looked at Su Zi in astonishment, her face showing difficulty, "How can we go back and explain this, Old Su will surely be furious with us..."
"Explaining is your issue..." Whether Su Zi held deep resentment towards Aunt Hua or was deliberately teasing her, she said, "Aren’t you usually full of yourself? Now that you failed to rescue me from Lin Feng, it’s your dereliction; naturally, you should go back and accept punishment... Hmm, at most I’ll reluctantly help you out, make a call to report I’m safe..."
Aunt Hua looked at herself, injured alongside four men in black, shaking her head. She thought, even if Su Zi made the call to report safety, their miserable state returning would make Old Su think Su Zi was violently abducted. Even if Su Zi called to report safety, the Su Family would surely suspect it was a tactic the thief used to relax their vigilance.
"Alright, that’s settled then, hurry back..." Su Zi waved her hand grandly, a compelling aura surfacing...
Aunt Hua frowned but ultimately yielded, reluctantly nodding in agreement with Su Zi’s suggestion, leading the men in black away in defeat.
