Chapter 60: Ambition
October 7, 2056, Saturday, was also the day that the five members of Firehammer Squad had arranged to meet at the HR Alliance Mall.
Morning.
A beautifully curved coupe that exuded an air of elegance slowly drove into the HR Alliance Mall plaza and parked directly in front of the lobby of the HR Skyscraper, Luo Feng and Chen Gu who were wearing simple casual shirts got out of the car and entered this first floor lobby under the welcome of the doorman.
“Alright, sir please wait.”
Luo Feng just stepped into the hall, at a glance, he saw Xu Xin wearing a white shirt like a professional woman on the bar in the distance, she was smiling and talking to some martial artists, suddenly she inadvertently saw a silhouette walking towards the bar, taking a closer look, Xu Xin’s eyes couldn’t help but swept over a trace of surprise.
“Luo Feng.” Xu Xin shouted with a smile.
“Xu Xin.” Luo Feng smiled at the bar, “Give me a cup of pu’er tea, right, do you have time? Let’s old classmates chat?”
Xu Xin hesitated slightly, smiled and then instructed with the other waiter next to her, then she walked out of the bar and smiled, “Not many guests over here today not considered busy, let’s go, Luo Feng, go over there and have a chat.” At this time, Chen Gu who was sitting on the sofa in the distance gave Luo Feng a distant thumbs up.
A quiet corner of the bar, Luo Feng and Xu Xin were sitting opposite each other.
“Luo Feng, when did you come back last time you went to the wilderness area? It’s only been a short while since you came back?” Xu Xin sat there quietly, holding a cup of tea, the green tea leaves reflecting the entire transparent teacup with a hint of green light.
“Been back for some days.” Luo Feng replied.
Xu Xin revealed a hint of a smile and couldn’t help but laugh, “Being back for so long, you didn’t even come over to see your old classmate. Isn …… t it that you look down on your old classmates? You, Luo Feng, are the only one of my old classmates in my three years of high school who became a martial artist, I’m thinking that one day, Luo Feng, you’ll be famous so I can go out and show off with people.”
“Hehe, Xu Xin, which university are you in now?” Luo Feng opened his mouth.
This Luo Feng, Xu Xin duo was sitting here, casually chatting about some of the situations in each other’s current lives. Although Luo Feng is secretly in love with Xu Xin, Xu Xin also knows that Luo Feng is interested in her …… but both of them are conscious of not touching that layer, just this kind of quiet chatting.
Seemingly calm chat, Luo Feng himself is listening to satisfaction.
At this time from the elevator entrance out of a, wearing a black shirt, black pants of the youth, his eyes swept to see the corner of the bar Xu Xin, Luo Feng duo.
“Who is Xiao Xin chatting with?” The youth frowned slightly and took a closer look, “It seems to be Luo Feng, one of the three senior cadets from the school where …… Xiao Xin’s high school is located?” For the high school that Xu Xin stayed in, he was very well acquainted with it, and the several people in it, Luo Feng and Zhang Haobai, who were quite famous, he had also read the information.
The youth revealed a cold smile, “A few days ago, during dinner at home, Xiao Xin even mentioned this Luo Feng. It turns out that both of them are connected.”
The youth walked to the other side of the bar and sat down silently.
Luo Feng felt like he was having a good chat with Xu Xin, someone seemed to be calling out to Xu Xin from the other side of the bar, Xu Xin stood up and apologized, “Luo Feng, I’m sorry, I’ll go and get busy first.”
“Go ahead, don’t mind me.” Luo Feng smiled.
“Xiao Xin, this is your friend?” At this time a male voice rang out, Luo Feng turned his head to look, only to see a handsome looking youth who had a slight resemblance to Xu Xin standing next to him, he looked at Xu Xin with a smile and looked at Luo Feng with a smile. Xu Xin was surprised, “Brother, you came to the mall today too. By the way, this is my old classmate Luo Feng. Brother, I’ll go and get busy first, you can chat with Luo Feng.”
“Alright, you go.” This youth nodded with a smile and turned his head to look at Luo Feng, “Hello Luo Feng, introduce yourself, I’m Xu Xin’s brother Xu Gang.”
Brother?
If he could chase Xu Xin to his hand, wouldn’t this be a great uncle?
“Hello.” Luo Feng also stood up and shook the other party’s hand.
“Hello, Luo Feng.” Xu Gang smiled and sat down, “I’ve long heard of your great name Luo Feng, the school my sister went to in high school, it was rumored that there were only a total of three senior martial arts school students at the time, and you were one of them! And I heard my sister say that you are now an official martial artist?”
Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
“Ah, truly marvelous, an 18 week old martial artist.” Xu Gang sighed in admiration, then smiled, “My sister is at school, isn’t she extra low key?”
“Yes it’s very low key, no one can tell how rich her family is.” Luo Feng also smiled, back then Xu Xin was indeed a simple and quiet girl.
A smile bloomed on Xu Gang’s face, “Haha, actually it was also my grandfather who was worried about the family’s big miss developing a spoiled temper, so he insisted that his sister enter an ordinary school instead of an aristocratic school in the first place. Letting her get a closer look at life with the general public! Now it seems that my sister is doing very well.”
Luo Feng frowned slightly, family first lady? Xu Xin was the Xu family’s first miss, he had already known that.
“Sister she didn’t tell you about the situation in her own family?” Xu Gang asked suspiciously.
“She didn’t say, but I know, the Xu family.” Luo Feng smiled calmly, “This is one of the HR alliance’s twelve largest family consortiums in the country.” Luo Feng already felt the deep meaning contained in this Xu Gang’s words, Xu Gang didn’t take the initiative to say it, and insisted on drawing out one thing through other topics –
Xu Xin was the Xu family’s first lady!
“Oh, you know.” Xu Gang lamented, “Actually, this big family also has big family troubles, such as marriage matters, sometimes it is not possible to do as one wishes. Just like my sister, there are quite a few outstanding young men pursuing my sister right now. For example, Wang Xingping from Kyoto city, and a 21 year old intermediate battle general level martial artist ‘Guo Hai’ from our Jiangnan city.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Other people pursuing Xu Xin?
“That Guo Hai, he’s also thick-skinned.” Xu Gang shook his head and cursed, “Isn’t he just a battle general level martial artist? He really thinks he’s something. My Xu family is also a bit of a status in the world, how can I easily marry my family’s eldest miss to a precarious martial artist? Maybe this martial artist will die in the wilderness area one day.”
Luo Feng frowned.
“Luo Feng, am I right? A martial artist is walking on the edge of life and death, maybe he’ll die of something, how can my family let the family’s eldest miss marry a martial artist, right?” Xu Gang asked with a smile, once he saw Luo Feng’s expression, he even laughed, “Oh, don’t think too much. I didn’t say anything about you.”
Luo Feng was in a bad mood.
Didn’t say what he meant?
This Xu Gang didn’t say anything else and insisted on mentioning this, obviously telling himself – there was no way his Xu family’s eldest miss would marry a martial artist who might die of something. So you, Luo Feng, better not flatter yourself.
“Actually.” Xu Gang sighed with emotion, “In comparison, I’m more attracted to that Wang Xingping. Wang Xingping is the first young master of the Wang family in Kyoto city, the Wang family also controls a huge amount of wealth, every day, he only needs to issue documents at home and give orders. One can make quite a few martial artists work for them without risking life and death themselves.”
“To be a brother, of course I hope that my sister can lead a peaceful life.” Xu Gang sighed, “Compared to a martial artist, this great young master of the family with a huge amount of wealth, and my sister, are only considered to be a good match.”
“A martial artist?”
“Which of these first-class families like the Wang Family as well as my Xu Family do not have a group of Warrior General level martial artists under their command? Not to mention countless numbers of warrior level martial artists.” Xu Gang shook his head and laughed, Xu Gang’s tone of voice clearly cared very little about the martial artists, warrior level martial artists, he was even more disdainful of them.
He had this capital!
HR alliance, one of the twelve major family consortiums in the country of China, did control a large number of warrior general level martial artists, and even a massive amount of warrior level martial artists.
“Luo Feng.” A voice came from the distance.
Luo Feng turned his head to see that captain Gao Feng and the Wei family brothers had already arrived and were sitting with Chen Gu, Luo Feng smiled and shouted, “Captain, I’m on my way.”
“Young master Xu Gang Xu.” Luo Feng smiled and looked at Xu Gang.
“Hm?” Xu Gang revealed a hint of a smile.
In fact, after saying so much before, Xu Gang believed that his meaning should be well understood by the other party, his family can’t even look down on a 21 year old intermediate battle general martial artist, you Luo Feng, a newcomer who has just become a martial artist should still have a little more self-awareness, don’t come and bother my sister.
“Young master Xu Gang Xu, your Xu family is really powerful, able to control a bunch of battle general level martial artists.” Luo Feng smiled, “However, I wonder if your Xu family, can you make a battle general powerhouse, come when called and go when waved?”
Xu Gang was stunned.
A War God powerhouse? How many were there in Jiangnan City? His Xu Family did have a War God level powerhouse, but that was also his Xu Family’s large amount of money and friendship pulling in and coaxing the other side.
“I wonder, can your Xu family meet with an existence that is beyond the war god level?” Luo Feng added.
Xu Gang’s face turned ugly.
Beyond war god level existences, such as the world’s number one powerhouse ‘Hong’ and others, that was an existence that made a country’s military have to treat them as equals. Even if he, a family consortium, wanted to meet these powerhouses that stood at the peak of the world, he was not qualified to do so. Not to mention comparing himself to these powerful people.
Compared to peak existences such as ‘Hong’ and ‘Thunder God’, the Xu family was an ant!
“Xu Gang Xu young master, we are also friends, let me remind you …… not to look down on martial artists.” Luo Feng looked at Xu Gang, Xu Gang didn’t give himself face, why should he give face to the other party?
After saying that Luo Feng turned his head and walked away.
The air conditioning in the hall was cool and breezy, the music was soft like a stream flowing slowly, but Luo Feng was holding a fire in his heart, “Families like the Wang family as well as my Xu family and other such first class families, which one of them doesn’t have a group of warrior general level martial artists under their command? Not to mention countless warrior level martial artists.” Xu Gang’s words constantly echoed in Luo Feng’s mind.
“Xu Gang!”
“Didn’t you say all that just to make me back off and not chase after your sister?” Luo Feng’s gaze was icy cold, “Don’t worry, I, Luo Feng, will definitely step to the peak of martial artist in this life! A powerhouse that will make the government and military treat me as an equal! At that time, I want your Xu family to welcome me to your Xu family with a smile on their face!”
Of course I want to chase Xu Xin ……
However, he also wants the Xu family to welcome him with a smile and put on a low profile to receive him warmly!
“Martial artists, are the ultimate power in this world!”
“The so-called family consortiums, in front of the most powerful martial artists, are just dregs!”
This moment!
This morning of October 7th, 2056!
Luo Feng’s first contact with Xu Gang caused Luo Feng’s ambition to finally start growing!
End of the third episode!
