Fell Asleep Immediately

Work, then off work.

After picking up Xiao Dan in the afternoon, Xu Feng bought some fruits and vegetables before heading home with the child.

Along the way, the father and daughter chatted and laughed, as if everything were normal.

"Uncle Huang!" Seeing Huang Sen, who was also returning from work, Xiao Dan greeted him enthusiastically.

"Yo! School's out, Xiao Dan? Come on, let's go to Uncle's place for dinner today. I'll make something delicious for you and your dad."

Huang Sen chuckled as he picked up the little girl.

Xu Feng smiled and said, "No need, Dad."

"Dad—" Huang Sen had just opened his mouth before glaring at Xu Feng. "I thought you were a decent guy with those thick brows and big eyes, Old Xu, but it turns out you're just as shameless as the rest!"

"Hehe," Xiao Dan giggled, "Teacher says my dad is what you call 'shameless'."

"Exactly, shameless!" Huang Sen declared fiercely.

Xu Feng laughed out loud and followed the two of them into the house.

As a fellow bachelor, Huang Sen's place was much messier.

But the guy was thick-skinned and didn't care at all.

While cooking, he even sent Xiao Dan off to tidy up the place.

Xu Feng didn't say much about it; instead, he encouraged Xiao Dan to do more.

She was just a child, after all; she couldn't be spoiled all the time.

Consider it an extracurricular break.

Xiao Dan was happy to clean, meticulously treating it like completing a mission.

"Old Xu, have you heard? Those small organizations in our Shanty Town have been getting more and more arrogant lately.

A while back, someone even came to collect protection money from me, claiming they were the ones covering this neighborhood."

"Haven't heard a thing, nobody asked me," Xu Feng replied half-heartedly, standing at the kitchen door chatting with Huang Sen.

His mind, however, was on the communicator on his wrist.

Huang Sen never let anyone help him cook, which was actually quite relaxing.

Beep!

Just then, the communicator vibrated slightly.

Xu Feng opened it to check the message and saw four words from Lu Fei.

[Eagle Alliance, two people.]

Xu Feng's expression sank immediately.

Looking at the message Lu Fei sent, Xu Feng's face darkened completely.

It really was those martial artists from the Eagle Alliance.

Damn it.

I just want to live a normal life.

Why do these people always swarm around like flies?

At best, I'm just a quasi-martial artist!

What could they possibly want?

Are they here because of those two dead black martial artists?

Or is it for something else?

Will they threaten the safety of myself and Xiao Dan?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Xu Feng became.

He gradually clenched his fists, a surge of intense irritation and killing intent rising inexplicably in his heart.

[Thanks.]

Xu Feng replied to Lu Fei.

Lu Fei: [Do you need my help?]

Seeing Lu Fei's reply, a warmth spread through Xu Feng's heart.

Although this woman had a fierce temper, she was actually very reliable.

Xu Feng: [No need, you focus on your own business.]

Lu Fei: [Oh (╯▽╰)]

Xu Feng turned off the communicator, his expression returning to normal.

"Sizzle—"

The hot oil in the pan soon began to crackle.

Huang Sen turned off the heat and poured the hot oil over a bowl of boiled Fierce Armor Beef.

The intense, savory aroma of oil and scallions instantly filled the entire room.

"Ah! I'm so hungry!"

Xiao Dan ran over excitedly, hugging Xu Feng from behind. She poked her head out to look at the steaming bowl of beef and exclaimed with excitement.

Xu Feng and Huang Sen both smiled, quickly tidying up before sitting down at the table to dig in.

Watching the father and daughter shovel food into their mouths in perfect synchronization, Huang Sen couldn't help but laugh.

As a chef, nothing was more satisfying than seeing the food he cooked being devoured with such gusto.

"Slow down, slow down, there's more, there's more."

Huang Sen chuckled as he sipped the light wine in his hand, picking up food for Xiao Dan as he did so.

"Thanks, Uncle Huang!" Xiao Dan said with her mouth full.

After a hearty meal, both father and daughter were left with faces glistening with oil.

Xiao Dan patted her little belly as she sat by the table, satisfied. "Uncle Huang, whoever marries you will definitely be very happy."

"Pfft!" Huang Sen spat out a mouthful of tea.

Xu Feng couldn't help but chuckle as well. "Haha, that's true, but it doesn't change anything. Your Uncle Huang lives right next door; whoever marries him won't stop us from mooching meals."

"I refuse!" Huang Sen said with a laugh.

Once they were full, Xiao Dan pulled three wet wipes from her pocket and handed them to Xu Feng and Huang Sen. "Wipe your mouths."

Looking at the cute bear-patterned wipes Xiao Dan handed them, both men laughed.

"Good girl." Xu Feng ruffled Xiao Dan's hair.

"It really is better to raise a daughter," Huang Sen remarked with a sigh.

The three of them joked around for a while.

Xu Feng suddenly said to Huang Sen, "Can Xiao Dan stay here a bit longer? I have something to take care of."

"Oh? Go ahead. Leave Xiao Dan with me. Does she have homework to do tonight?" Huang Sen asked with a smile.

"I'll take her back to get it," Xu Feng said with a casual smile as he stood up.

Soon, after Xiao Dan went home to retrieve her homework and began studying while sipping the Rock Sugar Pear Soup Huang Sen had brewed, Xu Feng headed out.

"I'll be back in a while, thanks."

He patted Huang Sen on the shoulder.

Huang Sen waved his hand dismissively. "It's nothing, get going."

"Bang!"

Outside the door.

After closing the door, Xu Feng's expression instantly turned grim.

However, as he turned around, he returned to his usual self and walked lazily toward the street corner.

Familiar with the surrounding environment, Xu Feng disappeared into a dense cluster of houses in just a few strides.

Two minutes later.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

Two figures walked over quickly, standing at the street corner and looking around in confusion. "Fuck, where did he go?"

"He just went in here, how could he have vanished?"

"Split up and search. Contact each other on the communicator later."

"Right!"

"Hum—"

Accompanied by the sound of a drone taking off, Eric stood under an eave, staring intently at his remote control screen.

He didn't believe the target could just disappear so completely.

The guy had to be nearby.

Perhaps he was meeting someone important.

"Once this mission is a success, I'll be able to get that C-Rank Secret Technique. Then, even a high-level warrior will be no match for me!"

Eric muttered to himself.

"Ariana, wait for me to return and marry you!"

Just then.

Someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Ahem, brother, aren't those words a bit too much like a death flag?"

Eric turned around in astonishment, then froze completely.

Xu Feng smiled slightly, erupted with a roar, and smashed a fist into the other man's face.

Eric's expression turned ruthless as he prepared to counterattack.

But he suddenly felt a wave of pressure wash over him, leaving his mind blank.

The next instant.

Bang!

A heavy punch weighing a full ton struck him squarely in the face.

Eric didn't even have time to react before he fell over, out cold.

Xu Feng glanced around without changing his expression, hoisted Eric onto his shoulder, and ducked into a nearby trash room.

Afterward, he took control of Eric's drone and hovered it above the street.

Five minutes later.

Another figure hurried over, only to be knocked down by a punch from a silhouette at the street corner.

Xu Feng clapped his hands, hoisted the two men up, and headed along a small path toward the Wilderness Zone.

"I know how to use drones too, brother."

In a dense forest three kilometers away from the Shanty Town.

This was the temporary hideout Xu Feng and Huang Sen used when hunting.

Eric and Keith woke up one after another.

When they saw Xu Feng leaning against a tree nearby, their expressions turned extremely ugly.

They were currently tied tightly to the tree with thin steel cables, unable to move.

"Great Xia man, have you lost your mind? You dare to kidnap us on the main street?"

Eric questioned him the moment he opened his mouth.

Beside him, Keith looked at Xu Feng with a cold face: "Sir, you have no idea who you've offended! I warn you, we are—"

However, no matter how much the two of them talked, Xu Feng remained silent.

He gripped a sausage in one hand, chewing it carefully.

This ham had been scavenged from Eric's person.

A product of the Eagle Alliance.

It looked like it was made of 98% pure meat.

The aroma was rich, and the taste was not bad.

Xiao Dan (looking "fierce"): "It's Friday, begging for votes, begging for votes~~ This is a robbery, hand over all your tickets!"
