Lin Feng's casual remarks left Yellow-Haired Youth somewhat uncertain about Lin Feng's intentions, unsure whether it was Lin Feng's first time in such a place or if he had some backing. However, considering the hundreds of people in Wolf Gang, and looking at Lin Feng, there was naturally no cause for concern, so he confidently led the way.
Since someone was kindly guiding him, Lin Feng stopped smashing cups and followed behind with Li Zhong. As for the few people brought by Yellow-Haired Youth, they walked behind Lin Feng and Li Zhong, likely to prevent them from escaping.
Lin Feng had no objections to this; after all, it didn't matter where they walked. Those thin arms and legs, despite having a few tattoos, did not lead him to overestimate their combat abilities. He figured they could be dealt with in just a second.
Tattoos were merely a means to scare children. Having such things on one's body felt too low-class to Lin Feng. Not only was it a waste of money, but if the tattoo parlor's hygiene standards were lacking, one might catch some disease. Ordinary illnesses were bearable; it would just be unfortunate. But if one were to accidentally contract an incurable disease, that would be truly tragic.
Glancing at Li Zhong's reaction, perhaps he had calmed down after drinking a cold beer or had simply gotten used to the situation. In any case, although he wasn't as composed as Lin Feng, he managed to hold his own.
As they walked, Lin Feng and the others reached the stairs leading to the third floor.
"Wait... Yellow-Haired Youth, who are these people you're bringing? Why are you leading anyone up?" It was clear that someone was guarding the stairs and stopped Lin Feng and the others, their tone indicating obvious dissatisfaction.
The person at the stairs was evidently stronger than Yellow-Haired Youth, suggesting that his status in Wolf Gang was higher as well, so he spoke to Yellow-Haired Youth without any courtesy.
"Heh... Dog Brother, look, these two troublemakers caused a scene at the bar on the first floor. Didn't Wolf King say during the last meeting that we can't act on the first and second floors? So I brought them up to the third floor; it's easier to deal with them here, right?" Yellow-Haired Youth explained with a forced smile after being scolded by Dog Brother. His voice wasn't intentionally lowered; he wanted Lin Feng and his companion to hear it, likely hoping they would understand their situation.
Seeing Lin Feng remain so calm irritated Yellow-Haired Youth. After all, he was part of Wolf Gang, even if just a lackey; he had a few subordinates outside. Yet here was Lin Feng, who didn't take him seriously at all, which frustrated him greatly.
Although Lin Feng saw through his intentions, he merely smiled and ignored him. If Yellow-Haired Youth knew that just moments ago, Lin Feng had involved their young gang leader and two of the Four Kings in this mess, he would probably have different feelings.
At this moment, Li Zhong also felt less anxious. People often worry about this and that before something happens, but when faced with reality, they tend to become calmer; this is human nature.
"Yellow-Haired Youth, do you think you can just bring people up to the third floor? Have you searched them? This third floor is our gang's stronghold!" The guard seemed to have accepted Yellow-Haired Youth's explanation. It appeared that Wolf Gang's Wolf King had indeed told them not to act recklessly on the first and second floors, but he still made a few comments that were more for show than substance.
People are often like this; once they have a little power in their hands, they want to use that small authority to do something, finding ways to scold those of lower status than themselves. Even if they can't gain any real benefits, at least they can experience the superiority that comes with having power.
This is also why there is a saying, "The king is easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are hard to handle." Those in higher positions often do not pay attention to such trivial vanities; they are too busy. It is those in lower positions who will engage in these meaningless actions for a bit of false superiority.
Not to mention the inherent flaws of these people, previously, the Yellow-Haired Youth really did not search them. Remembering what Dog Brother said, he felt a shiver in his heart and quickly started offering cigarettes and flattering them, saying things like, "I forgot for a moment; it's not too late to search now."
After saying that, the Yellow-Haired Youth turned around and adopted a different attitude towards Lin Feng and his companion: "I say you two, be honest. This is not the first floor; this is Dog Brother's territory. Raise your hands."
Then he addressed the three younger brothers standing behind Lin Feng: "Mouse, you guys, thoroughly search these two from head to toe. Move quickly; don't delay Dog Brother's business."
Sometimes people resemble the food chain in nature: the big scold the small, and the small scold even smaller ones.
The two naturally complied and began to search Lin Feng and his companion.
Lin Feng also raised his hands, but not to make it easier for them to search; he was preparing to deal with these Wolf Gang members before him.
With a big stride, Lin Feng took down two guards at the stairs with swift hand chops. These were the ones referred to by the Yellow-Haired Youth as Dog Brother's men.
Although Dog Brother was somewhat more skilled than the Yellow-Haired Youth, he too was taken down with one hand chop, collapsing to the ground while dropping the cigarette that was hanging from his mouth.
The Yellow-Haired Youth was somewhat stunned by Lin Feng's move. Despite being involved in gang activities and having several tattoos on him, this was his first experience like this. By the time he reacted and tried to fight back, Lin Feng had already taken him down with another hand chop.
Without paying attention to the three who had already collapsed in front of him, Lin Feng lunged backward to help Li Zhong deal with three even weaker opponents behind them.
However, when Lin Feng turned around, he found that those three were already on the ground, each with a throwing knife embedded in them.
The flying daggers were all embedded in non-lethal areas, yet the three individuals were unconscious, just like the previous three.
Seeing this, Lin Feng naturally stopped his actions and looked at Li Zhong, his eyes filled with questions.
"Hehe... Young Master Feng, I put some medicine on the daggers," Li Zhong explained earnestly.
This seemingly simple-minded person had just taken out three individuals in an instant with flying daggers, although those three were not particularly strong.
"Well done! You did great!" Lin Feng praised Li Zhong even more. This kid was quick-witted and had unique skills; with proper training, he would definitely be a talent.
Next, the two made their way to the so-called Wolf Gang's stronghold on the third floor. Along the way, Lin Feng used hand strikes while Li Zhong utilized flying daggers. Together, they easily dealt with the Wolf Gang members they encountered, proving to be unstoppable. Of course, this was also because they were facing low-level opponents.
Lin Feng had become much more adept at using hand strikes and admired those who practiced this fighting technique back in the day. It was straightforward and efficient without causing fatal harm—very effective.
Finally, they reached the so-called Manager's Office. After some effort, they took down the four guards stationed at the entrance. The Manager's Office finally appeared before Lin Feng and Li Zhong.
Looking at the wooden door, Lin Feng felt puzzled. The Wolf Gang was supposed to be a gang; why were there so few people? Throughout their journey, they had only faced low-tier characters. Aside from the four guarding the door who had given them some trouble, everyone else had been taken down with a single move.
After pondering for a moment and coming up empty-handed, Lin Feng decided to break down the door. No matter what conspiracy lay ahead, he was not afraid.
