Chapter 1416 Life Hangs by a Thread

Red Master didn't want his rhythm to be interrupted by Ice Rose.

He must take the initiative, not be influenced by the other party, and lead the way at his own pace.

Otherwise, the other party will inevitably focus on this matter, and then Master Hong will not be able to achieve his goal.

He still wanted to cooperate with Luo Feng; otherwise, he would have sent his own iron guards to take action long ago, and it wouldn't have dragged on until now.

"Don't listen to him. That old man has a sweet tongue, but if you really cooperate with him, he'll definitely have the upper hand. Is that what you want to see?"

Based on Ice Rose's understanding of Luo Feng, she knew he definitely wouldn't want her to be an obedient person.

What Luo Feng truly wants is to become someone who has the power to take the lead.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng fell silent.

Logically speaking, Ice Rose does know him quite well.

These few words hit the nail on the head.

You can cooperate with Master Hong, but he must have the dominant position.

In fact, it doesn't matter who you cooperate with, whether it's the Shadow Council or Bloodhand, what difference will the outcome make?
Everyone has their own ulterior motives and their own purposes.

“Mr. Luo, being so timid and hesitant is not like you.”

Red Master didn't follow up on Ice Rose's words by saying anything about surrendering the initiative.

To put it bluntly, he could never allow Luo Feng to become the leader.

That's why he didn't say anything.

Upon seeing this, Luo Feng understood what Master Hong meant.

But the most crucial issue now is not who holds the initiative, but whether Luo Feng and the others can leave this place alive.

The other party is already here; it's none other than Luo Feng. He can't possibly leave unscathed without handing over anything.

Otherwise, with such a powerful figure like Blood Hands appearing here, is this some kind of child's play?
Luo Feng stared at the half jade pendant and suddenly smiled: "I appreciate Hong Ye's kindness. It's just that I have a bad memory and I'm afraid I'll forget that your assassins just tried to take my life."

"Young man, don't be so angry."

Hongye's wheelchair moved forward again, now only three meters away from Luofeng.

At this distance, the aura of a superior naturally arises, as if he could envelop Luo Feng at any moment.

However, Luo Feng was no novice, and he was not afraid of his opponent at all.

Colin, on the other hand, had already shrunk to the side.

Despite having witnessed many grand occasions, he was, at his core, just a businessman.

They were still too inexperienced in the face of such ruthless decisiveness.

“You’re smart. Think about it carefully. Why do you think the women of the Shadow Council are helping you? What they want is never the jade pendant, but a way to control you.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng remained silent.

How could he not know that?

Everyone wants to control him, get the jade pendant, and complete the final piece of the puzzle.

The problem is that Luo Feng is definitely not a fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will.

When Hongye saw that Luo Feng remained silent, he pointed out the window.

"She's right on the street corner right now, with twenty council assassins. Do you think she's on guard against me, or against you?"

He went through all this trouble just to persuade Luo Feng to cooperate with him.

In Europe, Bloodhands definitely has a say.

Elsewhere, he might not be as powerful as a long-established organization like the Shadow Council, but on his own turf, he had the guts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have confronted the Shadow Council head-on.

Luo Feng suddenly looked at the shadows at the street corner, where a faint reflection flashed by.

Whatever it is, it's not good news for Luo Feng.

Seeing this, Colin wanted to say something, but he held back.

At this point, it's up to Luo Feng to make his own choice.

Luo Feng also knew that neither side was the one he wanted to cooperate with.

It's very simple: not taking sides is true wisdom.

Choosing sides means making enemies for yourself.

"And don't forget, the Shadow Council is this woman's backer, and that's what she's after."

Hongye continued speaking.

Luo Feng remained silent.

Ice Rose's beautiful eyes were cold and aloof, and she didn't say a word.

Sometimes, defending oneself leads to getting caught up in self-justification.

Saying nothing often elicits a positive response.

The air seemed to freeze, and the fruit knife tightly gripped in Luo Feng's hand gleamed coldly.

His gaze darted between Red Master and Ice Rose.

Colin hid in the back, took out his phone, and prepared to call his men over.

He felt that the two sides would remain deadlocked for a while longer.

He doesn't trust the Shadow Council or Red Lord either; he should trust his own people instead.

Even though... his people are actually very weak, and there are even members of the Shadow Council among them.

But it's still more convenient than using someone else.

This was out of desperation; Colin didn't want his hard work to be taken away by someone else.

"Mr. Luo, think carefully about who you want to cooperate with. There's no point in delaying things."

Hongye seemed a little impatient.

Because Luo Feng hadn't spoken at all, but was just looking at them, his eyes constantly shifting, clearly lost in thought.

"cooperate?"

Luo Feng suddenly chuckled, tapping the scabbard lightly against his palm, and coldly mocked.

"Does Master Hong think I still have room to choose?"

"One is you, and the other is the Shadow Council. I can't afford to offend either of them."

A faint glint flashed in Red Master's pupils under the moonlight, then he glanced in the direction of Ice Rose and the people behind her.

“Mr. Luo, you must believe that you may not have the initiative, but the right to choose will always be in your hands.”

“Follow me, and Bloodhand will make you invincible in Europe; trust her, and tomorrow your body might be at the bottom of the Thames.”

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Before Luo Feng could speak, the Ice Rose folding fan unfolded with a "whoosh," covering half of her face and revealing only a pair of icy eyes.

"Mr. Luo, don't forget who found you first."

"The promises of the Shadow Council are more reliable than those of some organizations that rely on dead bones to maintain their facade."

She was obviously referring to Hong Ye, and the way she cursed him was indeed quite vulgar.

In their quest to win over Luo Feng, the two have resorted to any means necessary.

But that's normal; who would have thought Luo Feng would obtain this jade pendant in this way?

This immediately brought everyone out of hiding, including Bloodhand. "Dead man's bones? You brat, do you know what you're saying?"

Hong Ye gripped the armrests of his wheelchair tightly. The already worn-out armrests groaned under the strain, a testament to the force with which he had struck them.

"Ice Rose, that's how your sister talked to me back then. You know better than anyone where she is now."

"By the way, I heard you have a younger sister. It's okay, when I have the chance, I'll let her taste what your older sister did back then."

Luo Feng thought for a moment, and realized that this must be referring to the Snake Queen.

However, he was really puzzled as to why the Snake Princess was called the Snake Princess, while her sister was called the Ice Rose.

Is there something inside?
These words pierced Ice Rose's eyes like needles. She slammed her folding fan shut, her knuckles turning white, and couldn't help but shout.

"Old man, don't force me to flip your wheelchair!"

"come."

Seeing that the other party was angered by his words, Hongye enjoyed the feeling.

He threw his head back and laughed loudly, the sound shaking the dust off the eaves.

"Let me see if Little Rose of the Shadow Council has the same backbone as your sister."

Just as the two were about to clash, Luo Feng suddenly took a half step back and bumped into Colin's shoulder.

"This is an opportunity; we can take this chance to escape."

Anyway, Colin's things are all hidden away, and they're not in this temporary resting place.

Once the two leave this place, they will have no control over where they go.

Moreover, this also has an advantage for Luo Feng, which is that he can continue to maintain the initiative and make Colin listen to what he says.

If he cooperates with either of them, he won't benefit from either side.

"I just tried to call someone over, but I found that the signal was blocked."

Colin gave a bitter smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, one of them brought a signal jammer."

"The satellite signal was also intercepted? That can't be right." Luo Feng frowned.

Someone of Colin's stature couldn't possibly not have a satellite phone.

"Yes, it is, but it is affected. The signal is extremely unstable. I tried to send it several times, but it failed. It circled for a while and then failed to send."

Colin would definitely have tried satellite communication first.

It was completely useless. These people are all old foxes; they knew to cut off all external signals before they arrived.

"They really are insidious."

Luo Feng clenched his fists. Now, all he could do was try to sneak out in the chaos.

The confrontation between Ice Rose and Red Master intensified, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Taking the opportunity, Luo Feng lowered his voice and said to Colin, "When I count to three, we'll rush towards the west window."

Colin swallowed nervously and nodded slightly.

To be honest, this was really exciting.

His gaze swept over the half-open window on the west side; this place was temporarily unguarded.

It's likely that neither Red Master nor Ice Rose expected that Luo Feng and Colin were planning to escape.

Actually, they didn't have that opportunity just now.

However, this bought them time, and to show his sincerity, Master Hong withdrew his own men.

Otherwise, Luo Feng would never have imagined that it was their only way out.

"Ice Rose, although you have more people than I do, you also know that my Iron Warrior can take on ten men single-handedly."

Meanwhile, Red Master and Ice Rose were still locked in a fierce battle.

"is it?"

Ice Rose curled her lips into a cold smile, "Too bad, my people have brought solvents with them every time, specifically to counter your Iron Warrior."

Hongye narrowed his eyes slightly.

The solvent does indeed have a very good restraining effect on iron.

"It seems the Shadow Council hasn't been idle all these years."

Master Hong understood.

Since their last defeat, the Shadow Council has never forgotten it and has been secretly developing a way to counter the Iron Warriors.

But today, because of Luo Feng, it came in handy by a twist of fate.

Ice Rose hasn't actually tried it yet; this thing is currently a test sample at the Shadow Council branch in EuroCity.

Just like drugs, it needs to undergo clinical trials.

Today is indeed a good opportunity.

Just as they were at loggerheads.

"three!"

Luo Feng suddenly shouted and threw the fruit knife in his hand at the open space in front of Hong Ye's wheelchair.

This move was intended to distract them.

"Clang!" The crisp sound of metal hitting the ground made everyone instinctively freeze.

It's now!

Luo Feng grabbed Colin and rushed toward the window with lightning speed.

It must be said that Luo Feng, when unleashing his full power, was incredibly fast.

Although Colin's legs were weak, his survival instincts allowed him to unleash astonishing speed.

Neither of them wanted to live under someone else's roof!

"Stop them!"

Upon seeing this, Red Master's roar exploded behind him.

It's no wonder that Master Hong is angry if he doesn't choose the path he wants.

Ice Rose's folding fan unfolded with a "whoosh," but instead of pursuing, it precisely blocked Iron Guard's path, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Want to pursue me? You'll have to get past me first!"

As Luo Feng leaped out of the window, he caught a glimpse of Ice Rose and Iron Guard locked in combat.

Her cheongsam fluttered like a butterfly in the moonlight, each move carrying a sharp killing intent.

This surprised him somewhat.

The Shadow Council actually chose to help him intercept Red Lord's men.

Could it be...?
Luo Feng didn't have time to think much at this moment. The change in a moment couldn't affect his final decision: to escape.

Nothing is more important than life.

"Come on!"

The two landed and immediately disappeared into the alley under the cover of night.
