Master Head of the Dragon Soul novel Chapter 9

Zhou Lie hissed and gnashed his teeth, his forehead covered in cold sweat even as he laughed. “Feels good! Great! That’s the damn stuff. Boy, your old man’s been a soldier all his life, and it’s so boring now that I’ve retired. Luckily, this wound can keep me entertained on a rainy day, so it’s a good thing, really.”

He clapped a hand on Chu Feng’s shoulder, then put on a grim expression as he continued, “Boy, the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas is just a bunch of hooligans and street criminals, and you have better things to do than messing with them. I forbid you from avenging me or even go looking for them, and I’ll disown you if you do. You hear me?”

He was afraid that Chu Feng would try to fight them, and terrified that he would die trying. Zhou Lie himself was already getting old, so what could he do except bear the pain?

“Alright.” Chu Feng immediately agreed, then fell silent.

“Coward,” Zhou Ying mocked as Chu Feng walked past her. “If you’ve got the guts, then get Ma Sanyuan to apologize to Dad and take our land title back. Can you do that?”

“Ying Ying!” Zhou Lie roared.

“You're right, I can’t.” Chu Feng looked into the distance with narrowed eyes; after all, a dead man could not apologise.

With the banquet ruined, no one was in the mood to celebrate and they were all stewing in melancholy. Sun Mingxuan, on the other hand, was over the moon as the man of the hour and his wine somehow tasted better than before! Now, everyone knew how Chu Feng had failed to fulfill his duty of filial piety after ten years of having forsaken the family. Now, they all knew that he, the son-in-law, had selflessly dedicated himself to the family for over three years and the difference between him and Chu Feng were like heaven and earth. Not only was everything going his way, he’d manage to put Chu Feng firmly in his place too, so he was feeling vindicated.

“Ying Ying! I have a gift for you! A special gift!” He called out when the banquet was almost over, still basking in his joy at being vindicated. “This gift cost me a lot, so I saved this for last to surprise you.”

He made a call on his phone and said, “Bring it in!”

Vroom!

An engine let out a deafening roar and drove the crowd wild, sobering up the drunk guests in an instant while they watched a fiery red, cool-looking Maserati cruise in. The cool appearance immediately elicited screams from the crowds, and all of them were either taking photos or sharing the news with their friends.

“Do you like it, Ying Ying? This is my gift to you.” Sun Mingxuan turned to her with a devoted look. “Starting today, you are its owner!”

The women in the crowd were overwhelmingly envious; this car was worth at least a million. How much more blessed could Zhou Ying possibly be? Meanwhile, Zhou Ying herself was touched to the point of tearing up as she cried, “Thank you, hubby!” Even as she basked in joy, she couldn’t help but turn around and look at Chu Feng in the corner. He still looked calm and stood tall like a mountain, with no discernible changes in his expression.

“Hah, he’s just pretending to be mysterious!” Zhou Ying scoffed with disdain. The man must be feeling so shameful, jealous and angry right now that he couldn’t wait to disappear. You see, Chu Feng? This is the gap between our status. Dad can love you all he wants, you can be as prideful as you want, but so what? We’re no longer in the same league! You used to ignore me, but now I’m completely unattainable to you—

“Mom, Dad. I’m going, I’ll visit again when I have the time,” Chu Feng said, feeling a bit bored; it was time he left.

“What, already?” Liu Minglan was a little reluctant but after some thought, she nodded and said with a concerned look. “Then take care.” As members of the same family, Zhou Ying was getting all the attention while Chu Feng himself received none, he must be feeling so bad.

Zhou Lie’s eyes widened and he snorted, “Remember, don’t go to the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas, or I’ll disown you!”

“Okay.” Chu Feng nodded and strode out. The moment he did so—

Vroom!

With an arrogant and delighted look, Sun Mingxuan started explaining, “This car is a completely handmade Lincoln limousine, a classic from the interior decor to the exterior lines. Even if you sold yourself, you wouldn’t raise enough to even afford a screw on this car. I—”

With a clack, Chu Feng opened the car door and slid in in front of everyone’s watchful gazes.

He sat in there?!

Vroom.

After revving up, the car sped off and left everyone in the dust. Everyone at the scene could feel themselves turning into stone, their jaws dropped so widely they could fit a whole coconut inside. The car was… for Chu Feng?!

Right then and there, Zhou Lie’s eyes lit up and he burst out laughing, “See that? I knew I saw something in him. My son is capable, and in the coolest way. Hey, Sun Mingxuan! Feng’s car is worth twenty million, enough to buy out your family’s whole company, and you ask him to scrub your toilets?” Zhou Lie scoffed mockingly, “You’re so cool.”

Sun Mingxuan felt himself tense up; the cold wind was like slaps to his face, one after the other as they smacked right on his arrogant face. They felt so real that he could almost hear the smacking sound it made.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying felt her heart skip a beat. She had a feeling that there was something between her and Chu Feng, something important that was now broken beyond repair… What was going on?

At the same time, Chu Feng instructed Luo Gang in the car, “To the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas.” His murderous aura was palpable. “I’m going to kill someone.”
