Zero Wingâs main headquarters, top-floor reception room:
Four people waited in the reception room, and the atmosphere was unusually depressing. Xiao Yu, who acted as the receptionist, wore a particularly ugly expression.
Xiao Yuâs reaction to the middle-aged man was the cause of the atmosphere in the room. The older gentleman wore gray, martial artist robes and loomed like a mountain. His aura was also quite oppressive.
However, his physical presence wasnât the only reason for Xiao Yuâs reaction. His identity was the true reason.
The middle-aged man was the current head of the Fang Family and the chairman of the Qilin Corporation, Fang Zhenyuan!
The Qilin Corporation might not be on the same level as the Five States Corporation, but it was one of the first-rate corporations in the country. It was also why the Fang Family stood at the top among Fenglin Cityâs powerful families.
If Fang Zhenyuan wished it, he could destroy the Big Dipper Group with a word.
Why wouldnât Xiao Yu be afraid with such an important individual before him?
Fang Zhenyuan was a true mogul in the business world, nothing like the youngsters that had inherited their familiesâ businesses.
A young man and woman accompanied Fang Zhenyuan in the room. The young man was none other than Fang Mingyu, the Fang Familyâs strongest expert of the younger generation. On the other hand, Xiao Yu didnât recognize the young woman with long, wavy hair and wearing a bright-red dress. However, he knew she must be of high status, considering that she visited Zero Wingâs headquarters alongside Fang Zhenyuan.
As Xiao Yu wondered why a VIP like Fang Zhenyuan would visit Zero Wingâs headquarters, the reception roomâs doors opened, and Shi Feng, Bai Qingxue, and Lei Bao entered.
Fang Mingyuâs indifferent expression vanished the moment he saw Shi Feng. Even Xiao Yu could see the fear in the large manâs eyes. However, Fang Mingyuâs gaze also contained a trace of killing intent.
Xiao Yu found the manâs reaction reasonable after giving the matter some thought. Fang Mingyu was the Fang Familyâs prided genius, yet Shi Feng had subdued him with a single move in the Redstone Restaurant. To make matters worse, Fenglin Cityâs upper society frequently visited the Redstone Restaurant, and they wouldnât miss the news of Fang Mingyuâs miserable defeat.
âI had my doubts about Mingyuâs claim, but looking at you now, it seems he had been correct. You are both courageous and strong. Iâm afraid none among the younger generation is a match for you,â Fang Zhenyuan said, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes as he examined Shi Feng.
Gentle Snow, who had already been worried about this visit, began to panic when she saw Fang Zhenyuan. She had never expected him to visit Zero Wing personally.
âMister Fangâs praise is too generous. May I know what business the Fang Family has with me today?â Shi Feng asked, getting straight to the point.
The Fang Familyâs visit didnât particularly surprise Shi Feng. Since they had made a personal appearance, they must have important business to discuss, but Shi Feng had no desire to play their word games. He still had a lot he needed to do.
âSince youâve asked, Iâll just put it bluntly. Youâd caused quite a commotion in the Redstone Restaurant. After all is said and done, the Fang Family is one of the most reputable families in Fenglin City. If we donât take act, how do you think the other families will view ours?â Fang Zhenyuan peacefully explained. âHowever, Iâve heard that Zero Wingâs development in Godâs Domain is quite impressive, and the virtual combat platform youâve recently set up has been performing considerably well. The Fang Family has interests in these aspects, so we plan to invest in Zero Wing. In return, the Fang Family only wants 51% of Zero Wingâs shares.
âNot only will Zero Wing receive a massive capital deposit from the Qilin Corporation too boost its development, but youâll also have access to the various dojos and training centers in Fenglin City for recruiting and nurturing talented players. What are your thoughts?â
After Fang Zhenyuanâs statement, the room fell silent. Xiao Yu stared at the man in astonishment. He had never thought that this colossal existence would be interested in Zero Wing enough to offer full investment.
Although many Guilds in Godâs Domain were supported by major corporations, that support was limited. No corporation would invest so much in a single Guild.
If Zero Wing had the Qilin Corporationâs full support, both Zero Wing and the Heavenâs Rumble Training Centerâs development speed would undergo a qualitative transformation. However, Fang Zhenyuanâs demand for 51% of the organizationâs shares would set him up as Zero Wingâs owner.
Gentle Snow paled instantly. She hadnât expected the Fang Familyâs appetite to be this large.
âThis is the friendliest threat Iâve ever heard,â Shi Feng said, chuckling.
To put it simply, Fang Zhenyuan wanted to become Zero Wingâs majority shareholder in exchange for letting the previous insult slide.
âDo you intend to make an enemy of the Fang Family?â Fang Zhenyuan asked, frowning. Coldy, he continued, âOr do you think that you can lead Zero Wing and Heavenâs Rumble against the Fang Family with your martial prowess alone?â
As Fang Zhenyuanâs tone chilled, the intensity of his aura spiked. The room grew heated as if a volcano had begun to erupt.
âA neutralizing grandmaster!â Lei Bao exclaimed from behind Shi Feng, stunned by the revelation.
Although Lei Bao had felt substantial pressure from Fang Zhenyuan and knew this man was no ordinary person, he hadnât expected the head of the Fang Family to be a neutralizing grandmaster.
It was impressive enough for one family to nurture a single neutralizing grandmaster. A family could prosper for an entire century with just one such individual. The Fang Family only enjoyed its current status today due to Old Man Fang, Fang Zhenyuanâs father.
And yet, Fang Zhenyuan exposed the fact that he was also a neutralizing grandmaster, which meant the Fang Family had two such individuals.
When Xiao Yu heard Lei Baoâs statement, he was just as stunned. With two neutralizing grandmasters, it had enough influence to force the various families, dojos, and training centers in Fenglin City to obey its every command, regardless of the rest of the Fang Familyâs martial prowess.
Fang Mingyu, who reclined on a sofa, sneered at Shi Feng.
Everyone had assumed the Fang Familyâs rise was due to his grandfather. They also believed that once his grandfather reached his 101st birthday, the family would crumble.

However, the public didnât realize that the Fang Familyâs foundations had grown since his grandfather had led the family. If they hadnât, his grandfather would never have passed control of the family to his father, Fang Zhenyuan.
Fang Mingyu acknowledged that he was no match for Shi Feng, but the tricks Shi Feng had played against him wouldnât work with his father. When he faced his father, Fang Mingyu didnât even have the heart to resist. He had no hope of contending with his fatherâs inhuman fitness in a direct confrontation.
âHow can I know if I donât try?â Shi Feng nonchalantly replied.
âGood! Let me see if youâre as strong as you claim!â
Fang Zhenyuanâs fist then shot toward Shi Feng with exceptional speed and grace.
