"I can drive, so how did it come to Racing?" Lin Feng naturally would not easily agree and tried to evade the topic.
"Hehe... there's no need to rush to decline. That night is still fresh in my memory," Liu Jing continued to smile as she spoke.
"Alright, what kind of Racing are we talking about?" Lin Feng realized he couldn't avoid it any longer and asked calmly.
The two individuals in front of him had significant backgrounds, and the fact that they had to go through so much trouble, investigating and personally asking for help, was certainly not a trivial matter. Even if Liu Jing mentioned it was just Racing, Lin Feng could not assume it was simply an ordinary race.
In today's society, while professional racers were not as common as one might think, there were still quite a few—both legitimate and underground racing scenes existed. Lin Feng believed that with the capabilities of the two in front of him, securing a high-profile racer would be a piece of cake.
Wasn't it just a matter of money? As long as they were willing to spend a million, there would definitely be people available.
Overall, Lin Feng was certain that whatever they needed his help with was definitely not a small matter.
However, no matter what, if he could make the other party owe him a favor, Lin Feng felt it would be worth it. After all, no matter how dangerous the situation might be for him, he couldn't allow any harm to come to his loved ones.
These two in front of him could threaten him using his family if negotiations fell through. Of course, if the opportunity arose, Lin Feng wouldn't mind reenacting the scene from a few days ago and kidnapping Liu Jing again.
"It's just a race; I was originally supposed to be the racer, but now it's you instead," Liu Jing continued explaining nonchalantly.
"Hehe... I didn't expect you to care about me so much. You thought of me first when faced with danger," Lin Feng pointed out Liu Jing's hidden intentions without hesitation.
Because Lin Feng understood that this race was likely to be extremely dangerous. Liu Jing was the daughter of a wealthy family; her life was valuable. Now that she encountered Lin Feng—who had better driving skills than her and was an outsider—of course, they would be willing to give it a try.
Understanding all this, Lin Feng realized why they had quickly begun investigating him. It must have been Liu Jing who revealed Lin Feng's driving skills, prompting them to focus on learning more about him.
Fortunately, their investigation was not very thorough, or perhaps Lin Feng had hidden himself well enough; they only knew his official personal profile and were unaware of the fact that he had subdued the Wolf Gang just a few days prior.
This was something Lin Feng was glad to see.
He understood that while those in the open might seem glamorous, it was also very dangerous.
"I'll be straightforward with you, Lin Feng. Our gang is competing with an old rival for control of the Casino in City B, a mid-level city. To avoid bloodshed, we propose a Racing competition, where the winning side monopolizes the Casino industry in City B," Liu Jie said directly, picking up the conversation as Lin Feng spoke plainly.
"I suspected as much. I have two conditions: first, you must guarantee the safety of my friends and family; no underhanded methods against my loved ones," Lin Feng stated firmly, now that everything was out in the open. His tone left no room for politeness.
This was a negotiation where being overly courteous would only make one seem weak.
This type of negotiation was different from business dealings; there were no smiling tigers here.
"Of course," Liu Jie replied with a smile, seeing that Lin Feng was willing to agree.
"Second, I want 30 million, regardless of the outcome." Since they were fighting for territory, the stakes were naturally high. Asking for 30 million wasn't unreasonable for Lin Feng.
Even if it seemed like he was asking for too much, Lin Feng felt no guilt; they were asking him to risk his life in a Racing competition—what was a little money in comparison?
He wouldn't engage in a losing deal.
"You..." Liu Jing, who had been silent, was about to object to Lin Feng's words when Lin Feng seized her throat. She opened her mouth to speak but immediately closed it again.
Just now, Lin Feng appeared to be negotiating with the other party, but in reality, he was looking for an opportunity. He couldn't deal with Liu Jie directly, so he decided to target Liu Jing, believing that Liu Jie would be threatened by it.
As for their nonsense about "not harming those close to them," Lin Feng thought they were just talking nonsense. The first time could be a threat using family; why not the second time? What about the third or fourth?
They merely threatened him with words, and he was supposed to rush around for his family and serve them?
What a joke! Did they think he had reincarnated just to serve them? Lin Feng was disgusted by their actions. If it weren't for Liu Jie's skills, Lin Feng would have long since beaten the two of them into a pulp.
So what if they were good-looking? Did that give them the right to threaten others? Sorry, that rule didn't apply to Lin Feng.
"Heh... You dare to threaten me? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my family, I absolutely have the ability to make your life worse than death." The playful smile on Lin Feng's face vanished, replaced by a chilling aura.
Such a threat was very real at this moment; after all, Liu Jing was indeed someone else's family—his own sister.
"Tesla, hurry up and act." While Lin Feng appeared to be warning Liu Jing, he secretly urged Tesla to quickly implant the Spiritual Brand into Liu Jing. Once successful, Lin Feng would have leverage in his hands.
Negotiation required leverage, not just words. And Liu Jing was the bargaining chip in Lin Feng's hand.
"Lin Feng, weren't you negotiating just fine?" Liu Jie hadn't expected Lin Feng to resort to this tactic. It really caught him off guard and made him anxious as he asked.
Now he didn't dare approach Lin Feng recklessly. Although Lin Feng wasn't as strong in direct confrontation, he was not an easy opponent. Liu Jie believed that if he made any rash moves, Lin Feng would definitely have the ability to deal with his sister before he could save her.
"Heroes Emerge from Youth," Liu Jie couldn't help but feel in his heart. Lin Feng, though young, possessed courage and strength that were far beyond the average person.
"Heh heh... I'm not a fool, you know. Don't you think you're going too far?" Although Lin Feng intended to buy some time, he was getting angrier by the moment and scolded them.
If they had come to him respectfully, Lin Feng might have even done them a favor. But since they were bullying him, he wouldn't let them get away with it.
"Lin Feng, let's talk this over. Let Xiaojing go, and I promise I won't harm you or your family," Liu Jie had no choice but to adopt a conciliatory approach at this point. Liu Jing was his younger sister, and he cared for her deeply.
"Fine, here you go." After hearing Liu Jie’s words, Lin Feng pushed Liu Jing toward Liu Jie, clearly letting her go.
Had he really let her go?
No, Lin Feng wasn't a fool; it was Tesla who had previously told him, "It's done."
Those three straightforward words relieved Lin Feng's mind; now he had taken the initiative.
Unfortunately, another five points of "Spatial Energy" had been consumed, which made Lin Feng feel quite pained.
"You... Xiaojing, are you okay?" Liu Jie caught Liu Jing in surprise and quickly asked her softly. He truly hadn't expected Lin Feng to just let her go like that.
So obedient? Liu Jie was somewhat suspicious; he knew that Lin Feng wasn't just some inexperienced rookie. But at that moment, he couldn't figure out what Lin Feng was up to.
"Heh heh... Liu Jing, you are now my captive. Don't tell your brother or try to struggle; otherwise, I will make your life worse than death," Lin Feng quickly initiated "Mental Transmission" with Liu Jing. This was partly to add an air of mystery and partly because Lin Feng didn't want Liu Jie to know about the existence of the "Spiritual Brand."
Lin Feng believed that as soon as Liu Jing heard those words in her mind, her intelligence would lead her to understand his meaning and know what she should do.
After listening to Lin Feng's words that appeared in her mind, Liu Jing looked at him with some confusion. She had never heard of such a mystical thing before. Spiritual Transmission? That was something from martial arts stories. Could it be that Lin Feng was a master of Internal Energy?
Seeing the look in Liu Jing's eyes, Lin Feng transmitted again, "It's not Spiritual Transmission. Hehe... it's a kind of Mystical Arts from my sect. If you don't want to face punishment, you'd better behave." Lin Feng wasn't reading her mind; he just guessed that Liu Jing would associate it with "Spiritual Transmission."
Without needing to impose any punishment, Liu Jing chose to believe Lin Feng. In fact, she had no choice but to believe him.
"Hehe... I just listened to you and showed my sincerity. Now, can we continue our discussion?" Just when Liu Jing was unsure whether to stay or leave, Lin Feng spoke again to Liu Jie.
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Liu Jing couldn't help but despise him in her heart. He clearly had some leverage but still spoke so grandly. How shameless.
Lin Feng truly didn't have any sense of "shamelessness." When dealing with enemies, one couldn't be polite; otherwise, "mercy towards enemies is cruelty towards oneself."
His past life as a mercenary had given Lin Feng a deep understanding of this saying.
"Hehe... Lin Brother, you are indeed straightforward. I will agree to your request. As long as you come with me, I can transfer thirty million immediately. As for your family, we will only protect them and will not harm them." While hiding his sister behind him, Liu Jie agreed to Lin Feng's request.
To him, Lin Feng was different from ordinary racers; anyone who dared to kidnap Liu Jing could not be an amateur.
Thirty million was a reasonable price.
If Liu Jie knew that just moments ago, right under his nose, Lin Feng had threatened Liu Jing again, he would surely have different thoughts.
Lin Feng was quite curious. If Liu Jie found out, would he think his worth was more than thirty million?
"Alright, now tell me how I should sell my life to you." Playing with the cup in his hand, Lin Feng asked.
The other party didn't even blink when spending money; Lin Feng could imagine that this job must be a life-or-death situation.
Although he had Liu Jing as a trump card, Lin Feng still wanted to agree to help. First, there was money to be made, and second, he was very curious about the forces behind Liu Jing and her brother. Each of their subordinates seemed to be more skilled than him; he wondered if they had any martial arts secrets.
As a man, it would be a lie to say he wasn't yearning for legendary martial arts manuals.
"Well, Xiaojing, why don't you explain the situation to Lin Feng?" Liu Jie still couldn't figure out why Lin Feng had acted so suddenly earlier. Was it a show of force? That was the only way he could understand it.
"Okay... I'll tell you." Liu Jing looked at Lin Feng, who was smiling brightly, and felt a surge of anger. Glaring at him, she gritted her teeth and said.
"Sure, I'm all ears!" Lin Feng ignored Liu Jing's glare and replied with a cheerful smile.
It felt great to be in control! Lin Feng was truly satisfied with this outcome.
