Chapter 1402 I'll Set the Rules

However, no one asked this question aloud.

For now, remain still in the face of all changes.

It would be truly foolish to reveal your thoughts.

If you keep your thoughts to yourself, no one will dare to lay a hand on you.

A person who doesn't reveal their thoughts is truly without weaknesses.

Seemingly anticipating everyone's thoughts, Colin smiled and said calmly, "Who wouldn't want immortality? But I know better than you that the real clues aren't in Luo Feng's hands, nor in the Zheng family's."

That's absolutely true. Who wouldn't want the secret to immortality?
Even Luo Feng, who knew it was all fake, did so because he knew it was fake.

If such a thing really existed, Luo Feng would do anything to get his hands on it.

The first priority is to ensure that all my loved ones live forever.

At this moment, Luo Feng thought of his sisters, the little ones around him, and the women around him.

If he could spend his whole life with these people, that would be the scene Luo Feng wanted to see, and he would be content.

He saw that everyone had been drawn over by what he had said.

Colin paused for a moment, then dropped a bombshell.

"Three years ago, I sent people to salvage a broken stele from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. The inscription on it was exactly the same as the legendary records of Penglai."

Luo Feng's heart stirred. He had thought Penglai was just a cover, but he hadn't expected there to be any real clues.
He had previously asked Rinnako to look up relevant information.

If such a thing really existed, it would only be found in Penglai.

Because in China, this place is associated with the celestial realm.

However, everyone knows that this is a myth, not a true story.

The mysterious man clenched his fists tightly, and his breathing became heavier beneath his mask.

"So?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow and was the first to ask, "Mr. Thorne wants us to join forces to find Penglai?"

Based on what everyone has heard, that's probably what the other party meant.

Everyone knows that the true secret to immortality absolutely does not exist.

Now, Colin not only told them that this thing existed, but also shared it with other people.

It's perfectly normal for Luo Feng to think that way.

In fact, not only him, but everyone else also felt that Colin had such thoughts, otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

However, true cooperation...

Many people fell into deep thought.

Because everyone wants to keep this thing all to themselves and would never actually share it with others.

Imagine if you could acquire this technology; not only would the Big Three companies be subservient to you, but the entire world would submit to you.

Logically speaking, Luo Feng, who possesses the "Godly Uncle System," should be the one most likely to believe in its existence.

But that's precisely why he felt he had already had a dream, and it was impossible to dream within a dream.

It was all just a fantasy.

"It's not a collaboration."

Colin stood up, walked to the French windows, looked at the dark night outside, and his voice became cold, with an unquestionable tone.

"I just want to tell you all that from tonight onwards, I will set the rules of the game in Penglai."

“Anyone who dares to break the rules…” He turned around, his smile carrying a chilling killing intent, “then don’t blame the Thorne family for being impolite.”

The silence at the scene was eerily profound.

Colin's purpose, or rather, his wolfish ambition, has finally come to light.

That would be interesting.

Does he say that because he feels he has no rivals in Europe, or even in the whole world?

Luo Feng hadn't dared to have such thoughts yet, but he wouldn't say anything right now. The most important thing was to determine whether what the other party said was true or false.

If it's true, needless to say, Luo Feng won't let this place go.

Before he could finish speaking, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and a bodyguard rushed in, saying in a panic, "Master, something terrible has happened! Something's happened to the Zheng family!"

Colin's face instantly darkened.

Luo Feng understood perfectly, and even couldn't help but want to laugh.

Zheng Zhilong's actions were even faster than he had anticipated.

However, this is a normal phenomenon, after all, people have been suppressing their feelings for too long.

Having secured the title of ultimate heir, he truly faced no further obstacles within the Zheng family.

However, Luo Feng was very curious about what Zheng Zhilong would do.
We can't just kill Zheng Shih-han, can we?

It's actually quite simple. Zheng Zhilong revealed in front of the family meeting that Zheng Shihhan had seduced the Shadow Council.

Moreover, he obtained conclusive evidence.

Otherwise, without these assurances, he really wouldn't dare to do this.

Colin frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to the Zheng family?"

The bodyguard swallowed hard and quickly reported, "Zheng Zhilong publicly accused Zheng Shihan of colluding with the Shadow Council at the family meeting, and also presented recordings and transfer records as evidence."

"The Zheng family is in complete chaos right now. It's said that... Old Master Zheng was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and has now been sent to the hospital!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Luo Feng's eyes.

Zheng Zhilong's move was even more ruthless than he had anticipated, not only completely severing ties but also driving Zheng Shihhan to the brink of despair.

I have to say, that was a really good move.

This made him look at Zheng Zhilong with new respect, realizing that the young man was teachable.

Next, if the other party is sensible and cooperates with him, then Luo Feng will no longer target the Zheng family.

He knows too little about the forces in Europe, which means he may not be able to truly establish himself there.

However, some are happy while others are sad.

Luo Feng's expression was good, but that didn't mean everyone else's expression was good.

Especially the members of the Shadow Council.

The captain of the defense bureau was also quite pleased.

I never expected that someone would be so bold as to bring up the words "Shadow Council".

Then he had a way to go to the Zheng family and use Zheng Zhilong to track down the whereabouts of the Shadow Council. All of this became somewhat logical.

only……

He glanced at Luo Feng, wondering how the other party planned to deal with the Shadow Council. After all, even though this organization had committed many crimes in European City, they were ultimately all committed by individual perpetrators.

Many people are innocent, and even if they are not innocent, they did not commit any of the crimes committed in Europe.

It's impossible for him to wipe out the entire organization.

However, based on his interactions with Luo Feng, he felt that the other party intended to wipe out the entire Shadow Council in one fell swoop.

The defense bureau of that city would never help him do such a thing.

Of course, if you have a lot of money, that might be an exception.

After all, as the old saying goes, money makes the world go round.

The defense bureau of Oucheng, of course, also needs to make a living.

The mysterious man suddenly stood up, his voice, laced with suppressed rage, behind his mask: "That piece of trash Zheng Zhilong, how dare he betray us?!"

Their Shadow Council collaborates not only with Zheng Shih-Han, but also with Zheng Chih-Lung.

These two people are the most likely heirs to the Zheng family.

If the Shadow Council truly wants a long-term partnership, then cooperating with the eventual successor is the most likely option.

However, Zheng Zhilong now realizes that there is no way to rely on the Shadow Council to obtain the position of heir.

Or, to put it another way, they discovered that the Shadow Council wanted to gamble on supporting the two of them together.

Then Zheng Zhilong has no need to cooperate with this organization anymore.

Besides, now that he has Luo Feng, he's even less in a hurry.

After all, this person has always been at odds with the Shadow Council.

The other party would definitely try to help him deal with the Shadow Council, so he wasn't afraid of offending them.

Colin gave him a cold look, his voice laced with sarcasm.

"It seems that the Shadow Council's pawn in the Zheng family has been rendered useless."

Everyone loves a good show, even people from overseas.

It doesn't matter if it's none of your business.

He turned to look at Luo Feng and said meaningfully, "Mr. Luo, behind this... I'm afraid you were involved in pushing things along, weren't you?"

To be honest, before he met Luo Feng, he had already done a considerable amount of research and information about Luo Feng.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to call the other party over as well.

Actually, he also had the same idea as Zheng Zhilong.

Since these two don't get along, why not just call them both over?

If one party really wants to take it all for themselves, the other party certainly won't agree.

Colin has figured out how to play this game of mutual restraint.

Luo Feng shrugged, looking completely innocent, and said, "I was just helping my friend get back what he deserved."

"As for Zheng Shih-han's relationship with the Shadow Council... that's their own doing."

That's true. It wasn't him who sent the Shadow Council to contact the Zheng family.

Even before Luo Feng arrived in Ou City, he already knew that the Shadow Council planned to infiltrate all the various forces in Ou City.

The advantage of doing this is that it can help them solidify their position in the European city.

When interests are aligned, such relationships become exceptionally reliable.

The mysterious man's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, but he ultimately refrained from attacking due to Colin's intimidation.

Colin pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "Interesting, very interesting."

He walked up to Luo Feng, leaning on his cane, and said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Mr. Luo, I've changed my mind."

"Instead of cooperating with those rats in the gutter, the Shadow Council, how about we join forces?"

"Oh?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow. "Didn't Mr. Thorne just say that you would set the rules of the game?"

Colin laughed and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder. "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

"As long as you are willing to share clues about Penglai, the resources of the Thorne conglomerate are at your disposal."

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man immediately became anxious.

"Colin! What do you mean by this?!"

Colin didn't even glance at him, simply waving his hand dismissively.

The next second, dozens of bodyguards simultaneously raised their weapons and aimed them at the Shadow Council members.

"My meaning is very simple: from now on, there is no place for the Shadow Council in Ou City."

The mysterious man's face beneath the mask was ashen, but he knew very well that turning against them now would only lead to total annihilation.

"Fine, very well!" he said through gritted teeth. "We'll settle this score sooner or later!"

After saying that, he waved his hand sharply and prepared to lead his men out of the reception room quickly.

Upon seeing this, the defense bureau captain instinctively tried to stop him, but was stopped by a look from Luo Feng.

It would be unwise to confront the Thorne conglomerate head-on now.

Anyway, Zheng Zhilong has already helped him break the deadlock. Next, the Shadow Council will have a lot to do. At that time, it won't be too late for Luo Feng to find a way to get rid of these people.

The more anxious he became, the more he ended up helping the Shadow Council, which was not the scene Luo Feng wanted to see.

Besides, there's also the Thanatos organization eyeing us covetously.

Even after the Shadow Council was wiped out, Luo Feng couldn't truly relax completely.

In that case, he should find more allies.

Relying solely on the Zheng family is unreliable.

Moreover, Zheng Zhilong is a man with his own selfish motives; he is not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be so ambitious and wouldn't dare to cooperate with him.

Once he secures the position of heir, Zheng Zhilong will definitely find a way to break free from Luo Feng's control.

However, it doesn't matter. After deciding to cooperate with Zheng Zhilong, Luo Feng already had his own ideas on how to make the other party obediently listen to him.

Don't forget, Zheng Shihhan's antique is still in her possession, and Luo Feng hasn't gotten it back yet.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the identity of that mysterious person.

Everyone wanted to see what he would do next, whether he would leave or stay...
