Chapter 045: A Special Gift

Chapter 045: A Special Gift

“Master Liu, shall I accompany you back now?”

Awei glanced at his master, who stood nervously at the edge of the cliff, sighing inwardly. He simply couldn’t fathom why Master Liu was so fixated on this, insisting on killing Chu Fei—who was a master of internal force...

“No, I must see him die with my own eyes,” Liu Fengkai ground out, still staring downward. In truth, nothing could be seen from this vantage point, yet he persisted, as if he truly could witness what lay below.

Awei knew just how anxious and worried Liu Fengkai was right now, so he did not press further. Instead, he too approached the edge, peering below and frowning, “A fall from this height, coupled with the explosion just now—he must be dead.”

“I know, but I need to be absolutely sure,” Liu Fengkai said in a low voice. He simply could not rest easy until he saw Jing Fei dead for himself. That man was a master of internal force, a rarity in all of Kun City, and his father, Liu Ping, had strictly warned him never to provoke such people. Yet he refused to accept it—not just for Simen Lu’s sake, but for his own dignity...

Never in his life had he suffered such humiliation.

Thus, he was determined to kill Chu Fei, whatever the cost.

Today, fate had presented him with this opportunity!

Time ticked by, minute after minute.

“It’s been so long. By now, Heizi and the others should have reached the bottom—why is there still no word?” Liu Fengkai paced nervously at the cliff’s edge.

“They should be close,” Awei replied calmly, in contrast to Liu Fengkai’s agitation. At such heights, with the car explosion, even a master would not survive—much less a deity.

“No, Awei, you go down and check as well. Whatever the situation, you must inform me immediately,” Liu Fengkai insisted, suddenly turning toward Awei.

“Yes, sir.”

Awei nodded, realizing that Liu Fengkai was so tense he could not calm down until Chu Fei’s death was confirmed...

“No need to look for them.”

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind the pair.

“Who’s there?” Awei spun around abruptly, pupils contracted sharply. A figure had appeared behind them—none other than Chu Fei, whom they had assumed was dead...

At that moment, Chu Fei was cradling a delicate young girl in his arms, who glared fiercely at Awei...

What was happening?

Not only Awei, but Liu Fengkai also saw Chu Fei, and his face instantly drained of color. He instinctively wanted to flee, but dared not move... His once-handsome face was now twisted in terror.

Chu Fei approached, expressionless.

“Master Liu, run!” Awei shouted, launching himself at Chu Fei. Though he knew he was no match, he did not hesitate, hoping to buy Liu Fengkai some time to escape...

But—

The thought was beautiful; reality, cruel.

With a dull thud, Awei’s attack was no obstacle to Chu Fei. He charged quickly, but was sent flying even faster, kicked by Chu Fei.

“Blame your fate for following a bastard master—”

As Chu Fei passed Awei, a surge of internal force flowed into Awei’s mind—the last thing he would ever perceive.

Awei convulsed and collapsed, but before losing consciousness, a trace of relief flickered in his eyes. Chu Fei was right: he had followed a bastard master, but he had never had a choice...

“No, no, you can’t kill me.”

Liu Fengkai had wanted to flee, but now he stood frozen, staring at Chu Fei in abject terror, his face contorted and speechless with fear.

“I warned you once before. Clearly, you don’t learn,” Chu Fei continued to advance, his gaze icy. Fortunately, his skills had saved him—and the river below had spared his life. Otherwise, he would have died today.

Toward Liu Fengkai, Chu Fei felt genuine murderous intent.

“I remember, I swear I remember! Spare me, I’ll serve you forever—don’t kill me... please...” Liu Fengkai dropped to his knees with a thump, bowing his head to Chu Fei, so frightened that his words became incoherent.

A single, merciless kick was Chu Fei’s only reply.

“I gave you a chance. You squandered it.”

Without a backward glance, Chu Fei carried Lan Youyou toward a Mercedes parked by the roadside. He spared no glance at Liu Fengkai, who lay foaming at the mouth, his eyes cool and indifferent—

You sought death; I have granted it.

—

On the outskirts of Kun City, at a large intersection, a black Mercedes idled.

“Master, did you just kill those bastards?” Lan Youyou seemed to have just regained her composure, looking at Chu Fei with a complicated gaze—tinged with awe and a little fear, worlds apart from her earlier nonchalance. Clearly, Chu Fei’s ruthlessness had frightened her.

“No, I merely made them imbeciles.”

Chu Fei opened the door and got out, waiting. Lan Youyou had already phoned her bodyguards—they would arrive soon.

“Master, you’re too merciful. Scum like them should be killed—they nearly got me killed!” Lan Youyou hopped out, voice indignant.

“If you’re still angry, I’ll take you back and you can kill them yourself,” Chu Fei joked, glancing at her.

“Forget it. I’m far too delicate a girl to kill anyone,” Lan Youyou shrank back, sneaking a furtive look at Chu Fei...

Soon, the roar of engines echoed from nearby.

Without hesitation, Chu Fei turned and disappeared swiftly into the darkness...

Several black sedans screeched to a halt at the roadside, and a group of people emerged, their presence formidable—all genuine experts. Leading them was a stunning woman in a red coat...

“Youyou, are you alright?” The woman rushed to Lan Youyou, concern etched on her beautiful face.

“Vixen, what are you doing here?” Lan Youyou frowned tightly at the sight of the woman, shooting a glare at one of the bodyguards.

The lovely woman paid no mind, beckoning for someone to help Lan Youyou into the car. She herself turned suddenly to gaze into the distant darkness...

That was precisely the direction Chu Fei had just departed.

“An internal force master—such sensitivity,” Chu Fei muttered from several hundred meters away, only leaving once he had confirmed Lan Youyou’s safety.

A black sedan had been waiting for some time, gliding silently to Chu Fei’s side. Without hesitation, he opened the door and slipped inside...

—

This was a high-end VIP private club in Kun City, formerly known by another name; now, it was called Red Moon Club.

Once the property of Cai Jiu, one of Kun City’s five overlords, its current owner was a woman named Liu Huamei. No one knew her origins. Some said she had been Cai Jiu’s lover, but the idea was scoffed at—after all, with both Cai Jiu and Hou Bing dead, the greatest beneficiary was this woman. How could a mere lover wield such power?

Even if she was a lover.

People preferred to believe she was the mistress of some major figure from the East Sea.

In any case, she had risen swiftly to become one of Kun City’s new giants—indeed, its foremost giant. Not only had she taken over Cai Jiu’s assets, but most of Hou Bing’s as well. In just two days, her actions had been so swift and bold that people were left speechless. No one believed she had no backing.

Kun City’s turmoil had temporarily settled—at least on the surface—and all of it was inextricably linked to Liu Huamei. She had not only cooperated with the police, but had done so thoroughly, even voluntarily handing over and closing down certain illegal venues and businesses. She played by no rules, and precisely because of this, she quickly established herself. Even the police could find no fault—indeed, Liu Huamei was the most upright and spotless leader the city’s underworld had ever seen, so clean she was almost blinding...

Yet, no matter how clean, she remained a giant—and the number one at that. Neither the other underworld leaders nor the police dared underestimate her.

On the top floor of Red Moon Club, in a spacious spa room, Chu Fei reclined in the steamy bath, clad only in a towel. On either side, two delicate girls, twin sisters of remarkable beauty and allure, gently massaged his shoulders and head.

Across the pool, the sinister young man Blood Fox lounged similarly, a woman massaging him—not a girl, but a mature, seductive beauty clad only in a bra, exuding temptation...

Anyone witnessing this scene would be astonished—the woman massaging Blood Fox was none other than Liu Huamei, currently the most influential figure in Kun City. Yet, at this moment, she wore none of her usual coldness and pride, but rather the tender demeanor of a gentle wife tending to her man—gentle beyond words...

“You’re still too merciful,” Blood Fox bit into a grape offered by Liu Huamei, gazing at Chu Fei and shaking his head lightly. “If I were you, I’d have taken out Liu Ping directly—cutting the grass and removing the roots to prevent future trouble.”

“My affairs don’t require your interference,” Chu Fei frowned at Blood Fox.

“Fine, I won’t interfere, but if there’s anything you find inconvenient, just call Huamei—let her handle it for you,” Blood Fox said with a demonic smile.

Chu Fei glanced at Liu Huamei, quiet as a gentle wife, then frowned at Blood Fox, “What exactly are you aiming for?” It was the greatest doubt in his mind.

“Big Sister said, anyone from the Happy Forest shouldn’t let themselves suffer—wherever we go, we must live freely and happily. Since you’re not leaving for now, you’ll need some people to handle things for you.” Blood Fox smiled at Chu Fei, “Since you find it troublesome, I’ll help you find them.”

“So you killed Cai Jiu and Hou Bing and took over their assets?” Chu Fei was speechless.

“Those two scoundrels had it coming—I’m merely carrying out justice,” Blood Fox said solemnly.

Chu Fei pursed his lips, looking at Blood Fox, “So you’re not leaving for now either?”

“Where would I go?” Blood Fox retorted, his smile wicked.

“You can stay, but no mischief—or else...”

“I know, otherwise you’ll throw me out of Hua Xia?” Blood Fox interrupted, laughing, “Don’t worry, I am a Hua Xia native—I won’t harm my own country. If I must cause trouble, I’ll go south or to Europe.”

“As long as you understand,” Chu Fei nodded. Blood Fox’s words eased his mind—this was a true menace, one who would never behave anywhere.

“I’m off. Tonight, you’ll rest here—I’ve prepared a special gift for you, heh heh—”

Blood Fox suddenly stood, tossing Chu Fei an enigmatic smile, then left with Liu Huamei, arm around her slender waist...

“A special gift? What special gift?”

Chu Fei was momentarily puzzled...

Yet soon, he understood what Blood Fox’s special gift was.

As the twin girls nervously entered the bedroom, Chu Fei couldn’t help cursing under his breath, “That damned Blood Fox!”
