Chapter 1042: Chapter 1086: Challenge

Li Yifei had recently arranged to deal with Sunx Nenghui in a way that was a textbook example of a hostile takeover. He intended not only to seize the other party’s company but also to leave them penniless.

Under normal circumstances, such malicious takeovers are strictly regulated by corporate law in foreign countries, but in Huaxia, the relevant laws are somewhat lacking. Moreover, the experts that Li Yifei had hired were highly skilled; as long as the funding was sufficient, they could ensure that nothing would go awry, ultimately escaping legal repercussions.

These were areas Li Yifei had never dabbled in before, so he took his learning very seriously. Although there were some matters he could not personally handle, he still became a mastermind in full control. As the helmsman of a major family clan, he only needed to make good use of the people around him.

Sunx Nenghui sensed the danger to his company and was struggling desperately. However, as the company’s shares were increasingly divested, he knew it wouldn’t be long before the company changed hands.

"Li Yifei, you’re ruthless. You’ve turned my son into a fool, and now, you’re driving me to bankruptcy. You will get your comeuppance," Sunx Nenghui snarled through gritted teeth after dialing Li Yifei’s number.

Li Yifei responded with a faint smile, "I also believe in retribution, but everything I’ve done has been in retaliation after others have moved against me first. And all of this is your retribution."

"Fine, Li Yifei, you’ve got guts. But don’t think this will be as simple as you think. Do you believe that by taking over my company, you’ve won? I’m telling you, this is just the beginning. I will return everything to you twofold."

"I don’t think you’ll have that chance. When I, Li Yifei, do things, I don’t like leaving loose ends. The acquisition of your company is simply a business experiment. If I really wanted to deal with you, I have plenty of ways to do so."

"Oh? Then we shall see," Sunx Nenghui hung up the phone, then turned and respectfully stepped aside. Two other people were in the room: a tall man and a woman in black clothes with a veil over her face. She was not very tall or particularly curvaceous, standing there like a ghost in the night. But Sunx Nenghui’s respectful attitude was directed towards her.

The tall man snorted, "This brat has repeatedly wrecked our big plans. The influence we painstakingly cultivated in Japan was destroyed by him, and our foothold in Mile City was also ruined by him. If we don’t get rid of him, the authority of our organization will be greatly affected."

The veiled woman shook her head, speaking in fluent Chinese, her voice soft and delicate, "It’s precisely because he’s too powerful that I don’t recommend using force. Doing so may lead to even greater losses for us."

"Hmph, no matter how strong he is, with the help of ’No. 5 Divine Water,’ I can certainly defeat him and tear him to pieces."

"We’ve already lost two experts last time. Are you eager to throw your life away too?"

"Those two were not on my level. Their demise just shows they were not strong enough."

"Alright, then you go ahead. Just remember, if you fail, I won’t take any responsibility."

"You don’t need to." The man replied arrogantly, then turned to Sunx Nenghui, "Come on, watch me avenge you. I’ll tear that kid into pieces and capture all his women for your idiot son to take as wives."

Sunx Nenghui was overjoyed but replied respectfully, "Thank you, General."

The man strode out with Sunx Nenghui in tow, leaving only the woman in the room. She shook her head and murmured, "You have no idea how powerful the Golden Eagle is. By the time you realize it, it will be too late." The room darkened, and the woman had vanished without a trace.

Li Yifei’s phone rang again while he was with Chu Xiaoyao and Ning Xin’er. Chu Xiaoyao had finally gotten her vacation and could stay home every day, but she still couldn’t spend every night with Li Yifei. It was a rare occasion for her to be with him, and even more so with Ning Xin’er, the big star she admired. Worried, she thought Li Yifei might have to leave as he answered the phone.

Seeing the caller ID was Sunx Nenghui, Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed as he answered, "Manager Sun, it’s so late, what’s the matter?"

Sunx Nenghui spoke coldly, "Someone wants to meet you."

"Is that so? But I don’t meet with just anyone who wants to see me."

"You don’t have to come. We’ll be waiting for you on Dragon Top Mountain for one hour. If you don’t show up, then we won’t bother looking for you again."

Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed, "You sure know how to pick a spot. The feng shui there is not bad, quite suitable as a resting place for the deceased."

Sunx Nenghui sneered, "Li Yifei, there’s no need for verbal jousting—aren’t you the one who boasts of being the strongest person in the world? So why the cold feet?"

"Hmm, your attempt to provoke me worked; I’ll go check it out."

Li Yifei hung up the phone, and right away, Chu Xiaoyao pouted, "Uncle, you’re going out?"

Li Yifei patted Chu Xiaoyao’s cheek and said, "Be good, wait for uncle. It won’t take long for me to come back."

Ning Xin’er immediately said, "Be careful. If Sunx Nenghui dares to call you out like this, I fear there might be a trap waiting. Why don’t you take a few more people with you?"

Li Yifei nodded and replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I never gamble with my life."

In this respect, Li Yifei had always been consistent. Indeed, he was now a master, and it could be said that, in this world, there were not many who could beat him. However, many a time, high skill alone was not enough to save a life—countless masters have died at the hands of those far less skilled.

After leaving home, Li Yifei drove to the foot of Dragon Top Mountain. The mountain, located by the sea, was not very high, just over two hundred meters, but it was covered with shrubbery and strangely formed steep rocks, making it very precipitous. Therefore, it remained undeveloped and was scarcely frequented.

To ascend the mountain, Li Yifei had no choice but to climb up on foot, but he did not take the only trail going up the mountain. Instead, he set a direction, crossed through the bushes, clung to the rocks, and climbed swiftly upward.

As he scaled the mountain, he watched his surroundings intently. Even in the dark, if anyone was lying in wait nearby, Li Yifei was sure to notice them. But along the way, he encountered no obstructions, nor did anyone hide in ambush.

Such a situation suggested a single possibility: the people above were extremely confident they could eliminate him, likely a formidable master who had no need for sneaky tricks or deceit.

This made Li Yifei even more vigilant. Though he was strong, he never believed there were no competitors who could defeat him. If the opponent really had such strength, then he must leave himself an escape path. There was no need for a senseless death.

When he was a mere ten meters from the summit, a voice called out, "The mighty Golden Eagle takes the path less traveled?"

Li Yifei pressed his hand against a nearby rock, his body soaring upward, leaping over two meters high, then pushing off another rock to gain another two meters. After a few such vaults, he had already landed atop the mountain. The summit of Dragon Top Mountain was fairly flat, featuring a plateau roughly ten meters in diameter. On it stood two men, one of whom was Sunx Nenghui, and the other, a towering Asian man. The latter had been the one speaking, and judging by his accent, he was not likely Huaxia People.

The weather was fair that day with moonlight bathing the plateau. Although hazy, it was still easy to see each other clearly. Li Yifei felt he had never seen this man before, and he seemed to have an impression of others who would challenge him. This indicated the stranger was not widely known.

A challenger of his caliber, unknown to the public, prompted Li Yifei to be even more cautious. He knew nothing about this man, whereas his own reputation had spread far and wide. The opponent was likely well-informed about him. It was imperative to know both oneself and the enemy to emerge unscathed from many battles. Being ignorant of the opponent already put him at a disadvantage.

With a faint smile, Li Yifei said, "One should neither harm others nor fall short of taking precautions."

"Well said, but today, I intend to battle you fair and square—you shall die by my hand," the man’s eyes gleamed with red, becoming more intense, as if filled with blood.

Li Yifei was familiar with such a gaze; those two men from Cao Bin, after taking the drug, had looked exactly like this, which let Li Yifei know that Sunx Nenghui, like Cao Bin, was associated with that mysterious organization. This guy, so brazen, surely intended to boost his strength with the drug’s potency rather than rely on his own inherent power.

"Is that so? Then at least let me know your name. Even if I am to die, I should die with clarity."

"Haha... well said. I didn’t expect the Golden Eagle to be so sensible. I’ll let you die with full understanding—I’m Park Sung-ho."

"North Korean?" Li Yifei felt this guy must be Korean from his tone, but he deliberately referred to him as a North Korean. Since the opponent’s strength increased significantly with the drug, Li Yifei was uncertain how strong he would be post-dosage. Dragging out the time now would decrease the effectiveness of the drug.

Real combat involves not only exchanging blows but also a battle of wits and bravery. A rash strongman never lives for long.
