Sea City Airport.

Several martial arts sect masters who got off the plane exited the boarding gate and were met by those who came to pick them up.

"May I ask if you are Liu Kuo from the Eight Diagrams Sect?"

"I am."

Liu Kuo, over sixty years old, holds a high position in the Eight Diagrams Sect, with the contemporary sect leaders being of his children's generation. This trip was to capture Li Feng and rescue the eldest daughter of the Lin Family. Liu Kuo, being of the highest status and eager to court favor with the Lin Family, volunteered to lead the team.

"Mr. Liu, hello, I've been sent by another group to pick you up, and the cars are ready, just waiting outside."

Liu Kuo glanced at the young man with a respectful demeanor and nodded slightly.

"Is there any news on Li Feng?"

The young man slightly turned and walked beside Liu Kuo: "Reporting to Mr. Liu, we have already located Li Feng. Our people are still watching. Even if Li Feng had wings, he wouldn't be able to escape."

"Mr. Liu, the hotel for resting has been arranged, and dinner is also prepared, specifically at a Shandong cuisine restaurant."

Liu Kuo couldn't help but glance at the young man again, surprised he even knew his preference for Shandong cuisine. Considering the Lin Family's influence, Liu Kuo felt at ease.

If the Lin Family were truly that simple, he wouldn't have gone out of his way like this.

"We'll talk about dinner after we capture Li Feng and rescue the Lin Family's eldest daughter. It won't take that long anyway."

Liu Kuo didn't regard Li Feng as a threat. Although this kid made it into the top eight of the national martial arts tournament, it's been said that literature is never ranked first while martial arts are never ranked second—even without facing him, no one would back down.

Furthermore, Li Feng managed to defeat his pupil's grandchild, but it's not as if he won with a clean sweep. At most, he was just a move ahead.

Besides, this time, he's not the only one coming. He has brought over ten elite members from various sects, including Liu Zaiye.

If over ten people working together fail to subdue a mere Li Feng, that would be a joke.

The person who came to pick them up heard Liu Kuo's words, immediately showing a look of admiration: "With Mr. Liu personally leading, Li Feng will naturally be caught easily."

"However, the higher-ups specifically instructed me to ensure a thorough reception for Mr. Liu and everyone, acknowledging the exhaustion from your journey."

"You talk too much, it's just catching a person, what's the big deal? As for the reception, let's use it as a celebration banquet after we capture Li Feng."

One martial artist on the side showed a hint of impatience.

"Yes, yes."

The man who came to pick them up nodded repeatedly. The group directly left the airport and found three business vehicles neatly parked by the roadside outside the airport.

"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

The man said, turned, and ran straight to a nearby supermarket. Moments later, he rushed back with several bags in hand, distributing one bag per car, then sat in the passenger seat of the lead vehicle.

"Mr. Liu, the ride will take a while, as this is the hour when traffic in Sea City is quite heavy, have some food to tide you over and take a nap. I'll wake you when we arrive."

The man handed back a bag of freshly bought bread, sausages, and some snacks to the rear.

"Mm."

Liu Kuo nodded. The flight from Chang'an to Sea City didn't take long, just over two hours. They hadn't even had lunch due to the urgency surrounding Li Feng, merely receiving a light snack on the plane, which was far from sufficient for martial artists like them.

Although Liu Kuo didn't consider Li Feng a big deal, eager to catch him as soon as possible, he also didn't want to waste time eating at a hotel.

After all, rescuing someone takes precedence. If they went to eat after getting off the plane, the Lin Family may not say anything, but what would they think?

At over sixty years old, Liu Kuo was certainly not oblivious to such social nuances.

However, this young man who came to pick them up was quite tactful.

"You all take some and eat a bit, that Li Feng likely won't surrender easily, so fill your stomachs first."

Once Liu Kuo spoke, the younger generation naturally had no objections, also feeling a bit hungry but previously held back due to the situation.

"Young man, while we have time, how much do you know about Li Feng's intelligence?"

"Reporting to Mr. Liu, Li Feng is somewhat of a celebrity in Sea City, though not in the best way."

"Oh, do tell."

"Yes, Li Feng became famous in Sea City because at a party, the late chairman of the Century Group suddenly announced Li Feng as his brother, saying that after his death, he would hand the chairman position to him."

"Now, the Century Group is one of the top ten conglomerates in Sea City, worth nearly a trillion. It's a behemoth."

"Moreover, the late chairman has a son, yet rather than choosing his biological son, he opted for an outsider like Li Feng."

"Is that true? Could the old chairman have been confused?"

"Heh, whether he was confused, I don't know. However, the old chairman's young wife is a sultry beauty in her thirties and was not on good terms with the Century heir."

"And shortly after the news broke, the old chairman suddenly died. Can you guess what happened next? The Chen family's eldest son, his biological son, couldn't compete with the outsider. Li Feng indeed became the chairman of Century."

"Tsk, there must be something fishy going on."

Everyone loves gossip, especially stories loaded with intrigue.

"Ha, whether it's true or not is unclear. However, many say Li Feng was clinging to the chairman's wife's coattails, and the chairman died from anger upon discovering their affair."

"As for Li Feng becoming chairman, well, Li Feng is an outsider without any foundation in the Century Group, what basis does he have to become chairman? It's clear that the chairman's wife was behind all this."

"And now, not even half a year later, the Century Group collapsed, with the chairman's wife fleeing abroad with money. But Li Feng seems to have also gained a considerable share, using the remains to start a company under the New Century banner."

The young man was quite the talker, describing everything vividly, imprinting Li Feng's image deeply in their minds.

"Ha, this Li Feng is truly trash. Such a character managing to get into the martial arts tournament and even breaking into the top ten—it's a disgrace to the national martial arts world."

One person bit harshly into a piece of bread, his face full of disdain for Li Feng.

"So where's Li Feng now?"

Liu Kuo didn't express any opinions but internally felt even more disdain for Li Feng.

"He's at his New Century Group headquarters. This man returned to Sea City and went straight there."

"This guy even hired several security companies to protect his company, probably aware of the trouble he's in."

"Humph, will hiring security help? No matter how many he hires, he can't escape. Cough…!" One person choked while speaking and eating simultaneously.

"There's water over there."

Immediately the person took a bottle of water from a nearby box, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Yet, unnoticed by the crowd, the man watching them drink curled his lips slightly into a smile.
