The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 48 - 48 48 3rd Master

48: Chapter 48 3rd Master 48: Chapter 48 3rd Master “Ladies, did any of you dream about me last night?

I sure dreamt that many of you got pay raises and promotions.”

Humming a tune, Lin Fei stepped into the General Affairs Department’s office area, his words instantly livening up the atmosphere.

“Smooth talker.”

“Slick and oily.”

“Never changes.”

…

Even though the women in the General Affairs Department were all verbally denouncing Lin Fei, the smiling expressions on their faces made it clear they weren’t really offended by his remark.

No woman dislikes being called a beauty, and very few working women would dislike a promotion or a raise.

“Lin Fei, the big playboy, why don’t you tell us, did you dream of me getting a promotion and a raise last night?”

Just as Lin Fei was about to go over and “greet” each of the women in the General Affairs Department, a pleasant female voice came from behind him.

Grinning from ear to ear, Lin Fei greeted Xiao Yina, “Little Nana, hello to you all.

Seemed like you’ve grown overnight.

Let your brother feel if you’ve really grown.”

“Yina, what do you mean by that?

It’s said that one should not strike the smiling face, I’m smiling and greeting you, how can you be so rude?”

“Me, rude?!”

Xiao Yina was so angered she almost suffocated, her beautiful eyes glaring daggers at Lin Fei, almost spitting fire.

“Stinky Lin Fei, dead Lin Fei, you really never change.”

Lin Fei admonished Xiao Yina with a serious face.

“Lin Fei, you…”

“Hey, isn’t this our Assistant Lin?

What’s the matter, flirting with our Yina again?”

Just as Xiao Yina wanted to counter Lin Fei’s shameless remarks, even planning to close in and wrestle with him, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei arrived together.

“Penny, I’m not loving what you’re saying.

I was just greeting Yina, okay?

Now, I’ll greet you too.

Oh, Director Ling is here too, let’s all be greeted together.”

Although Lin Fei was surprised to see Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, this unlikely pair, coming to the company together, it didn’t dampen his spirits.

While speaking, he eagerly rubbed his hands together and approached them.

“Don’t you come over!”

“Don’t you come over!”

Almost simultaneously, the sharp reprimands from Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei’s lips rang out.

The two women had seen what had just happened to Xiao Yina and were outright rejecting Lin Fei’s unique way of “greeting.”

Even though both women had been taken advantage of by Lin Fei the night before, it was more because of the special competitive atmosphere between them.

In front of so many female colleagues at the company, if Lin Fei were to “indirectly harass” them, how could they continue to manage the General Affairs Department?

“Lin Fei, there are rules in the company.

If I catch you flirting with other female colleagues again, you can forget about ever going on a date with me for the rest of your life.”

Lin Fei stopped in his tracks, only for Ling Weiwei to take the initiative and come close.

She whispered a warning in his ear and then elegantly walked toward her office in her high heels.

“You big bad guy, are you really that desperate?

Don’t let me catch you flirting with Yina again, or you can forget about ever getting into my bed.”

Following Ling Weiwei’s lead, Shen Peini brushed her bangs and cast a romantic glare at Lin Fei, softly warning him and then sashaying back to her office.

Damn, these two women must have taken the wrong medicine!

A joke, did they really think that he, Lin Fei, was the kind of man who would give up the entire forest for a single tree?

…

Imperial Lux, rooftop terrace.

This was a very special place in Zhonghai, accessible only to the three leaders of the Azure Dragon Gang.

Even high-ranking government officials couldn’t set foot here without an invitation, as the security guards downstairs would block their entry.

The Azure Dragon Gang had dominated the Zhonghai city for many years, and the rooftop of the Imperial Lux nightclub had become an existence akin to a taboo in Zhonghai.

Over the years, few had set foot on this rooftop.

Yet today, a solitary figure stood there, raising a glass.

He was roughly 1.78 meters in height, with an expressionless square face.

His eyes, piercing like those of a tiger, resembled cold pools, betraying no hint of emotion.

He was one of the three leaders of the Azure Dragon Gang.

No one knew his name, and those in the underworld simply referred to him as the Third Master.

Although he was the only one of the three leaders that remained, his prestige had not diminished over the years; on the contrary, there seemed to be a trend toward challenging the top position in the Zhonghai underworld.

But just yesterday, while the Third Master was out, someone had come here to cause trouble.

“Third, Third Master, please spare my life!

He, he really said that.

So many of us, and not a single one could match him.

I’m just the messenger.”

Outside the rooftop’s glass door, the security guard chosen by Lin Fei to be the messenger was already crying his eyes out, shivering with legs trembling, engulfed by an unspeakable fear.

“Take him away, bury him.”

With his hands clasped behind his back, the Third Master stood on the rooftop with his wine glass and sentenced the security guard to death with a single sentence.

“Third Master, now that things are clear, should we capture that Lin Fei?”

Someone outside the glass doors of the rooftop asked in a low voice with hands bound.

“Capture?

Why should we capture him?”

The Third Master swirled the red wine glass in his hand.

It was a red wine glass, but it contained baijiu, the purest Wuliangye.

The Third Master did not like red wine; he preferred baijiu.

“But…”

“There are no ‘buts.’ There are those who wish for Lin Fei’s death even more than we do.

Killing is an art, and the highest realm of this art is to kill someone by using another’s hand.”

Downing the Wuliangye in his glass, he then crushed the wine glass in his hand.

“Have someone deliver Han’s corpse to Han Zhenhai, and tell him how his son died.

Also tell him because of his son, I lost twenty-three of my brothers.

Ten million for each brother; have him bring the money by tomorrow.”

The person outside the glass door of the rooftop departed at his command, and the Third Master also stood and left the rooftop.

In his room, a pair of exquisite sisters awaited his favor.

As for Lin Fei, the Third Master believed Han Zhenhai would offer a satisfactory response.

…

“Han elder, please accept my condolences.

The Third Master is still waiting for us to report back.”

At the Han Family home, over a dozen members of the Azure Dragon Gang brought the body of Han Qiming.

Han Zhenhai seemed to age a decade in an instant, and the lead thug of the Azure Dragon Gang had to remind him to respond.

“Please tell the Third Master, Han Zhenhai is grateful.

I will have the 230 million transferred immediately.”

Han Zhenhai gathered his spirits and shakily stood up to speak.

Although he had shares in Mu Group, his entire fortune barely amounted to seven or eight hundred million.

Now, he was forced to part with over two hundred million to the Azure Dragon Gang.

Despite his deep reluctance, he dared not refuse, for the request came from the Third Master.

The lead thug of the Azure Dragon Gang nodded, “This matter, the Third Master does not wish it to be known by others, lest it tarnish the reputation of the Azure Dragon Gang.

You understand, Han elder?”

“I understand.”

Han Zhenhai replied through clenched teeth and tears.

He was filled with hatred, unwillingness, and a strong desire to have Lin Fei arrested.

However, he was powerless against the overwhelming might of the Azure Dragon Gang and could only swallow his teeth in bitterness.

“In that case, we will take our leave.”

Watching the group depart, Han Zhenhai could no longer stand and collapsed to the floor.

Han Zhenhai had his son in middle age, and as his only child, he doted on Han Qiming dearly.

Now a white-haired man was sending off his young, Han Zhenhai couldn’t bear it.

He collapsed onto his son’s body, crying bitterly.

“Lin Fei, your heart is cruel, to strike such a venomous blow, poor my child!”

Han Zhenhai directed all the blame toward Lin Fei, without considering that if Han Qiming hadn’t kidnapped Ling Weiwei in the first place, he would never have ended up in such dire straits.
