Gao Feng's face turned ashen. He never expected that Li Wei's parents would be so ruthless as to offer a reward of 100 billion Huaxia Currency to find the murderer.
The murderer was right in front of him. Luo Feng, this young martial artist Spirit Reader, was originally the hope for the future of the Fire Hammer Squad, but at this moment, he had become a source of despair!
No, we absolutely cannot let Luo Feng be hunted down because of this.
A terrifying thought flashed through Gao Feng's mind, and he hissed:
Luo Feng, Wei Qing, Wei Tie, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu!
Remember this: I killed Li Wei and the other two with my life on the line. I used the reward I got from finding Zhang Junbao to exchange for a secret technique that allowed me to fight to the death.
Finally, he used a secret technique to kill the three of them. This has nothing to do with you. You must not reveal the secret that Luo Feng is Spirit Reader.
You all must remember this clearly!
Gao Feng bit his gums until they bled, and with all his might, he spat out those words.
Luo Feng suddenly looked up. He never expected that Gao Feng would make such a decision at this time, a decision that could lead to his utter ruin.
"Captain, no! I killed them!"
Luo Feng was shocked. At this extremely dangerous moment, Captain Gao Feng had actually taken all the responsibility upon himself.
A bounty of one hundred billion! Even a War God Level expert would find it hard not to be tempted. An invisible pressure enveloped the Fire Hammer Squad, and at this moment, Gao Feng, as the captain, made such a shocking decision.
Doesn't Gao Feng know the consequences?
No, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the impact of those 100 billion was, and he also knew better than anyone how powerful High-level War God was to them.
But at this point, they had no choice.
Should he hand over Luo Feng? The thought flashed through his mind for only a moment before being immediately dismissed. Luo Feng had risked exposing the secret of Spirit Reader to kill Li Wei and his two companions, saving the entire Fire Hammer Squad in a critical moment. If he were to betray Luo Feng like this, Gao Feng would never forgive himself.
But he was afraid—afraid that others wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and might accidentally let something slip.
Their bloodstains were left at the scene, which was the most obvious evidence, making their discovery almost inevitable.
" Luo Feng, you are Spirit Reader, and you are only 18 years old. Your future is much brighter than ours. Becoming Wargod is only a matter of time."
It is an honor for us to be teammates with a Spirit Reader.
Being able to be your captain is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me, Gao Feng.
This matter had nothing to do with you in the first place; you were just implicated by us.
The conflict with Li Wei and the others existed before you joined the Fire Hammer Squad, so there's no reason for you to bear the consequences.
A relieved smile appeared on Gao Feng's face as he said, "I am the captain, and also the person most fundamentally responsible for this conflict."
Li Wei's parents will soon find out about our previous conflict, and given the bloodstains at the scene, we won't be able to escape.
But it's okay, there was no trace of your blood at the scene, and on the surface, I'm the strongest and most likely to kill them.
"As long as you don't reveal your identity as Spirit Reader, even if Li Wei's parents are unwilling to accept it after taking my life, as long as the Limits Dojo protects you, they won't involve you."
Gao Feng patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and said, "I'm begging you, Captain, please take good care of my family."
In the future, before you are absolutely certain, never think about avenging me. The influence of High-level War God far exceeds your imagination.
It's a miracle that the Fire Hammer Squad escaped that ordeal because of you. Now it's time for me, as their captain, to take responsibility.
Wei Qing Wei Tie, Chen Gu, and Zhang Ke, you must not expose the secret that Luo Feng is Spirit Reader. Even if you die, you must keep this secret for me!
After this, I'll try to keep a low profile.
Find an opportunity to retire. The money you've saved over the years may not be enough to guarantee you a life of luxury, but at least you won't have to suffer too much.
"Captain, no, I'm already a cripple, there's no point in living anymore!" Zhang Ke struggled to his feet and grabbed Gao Feng's hand, saying.
"Hehe, Zhang Ke, even if you go, people have to believe you. You're just a Advanced Warrior. Even if you unleash a secret technique, you can't possibly kill two High-Level Warlord and one Intermediate Warlord."
Besides, where did you get this secret technique from?
Only I, a peak Intermediate Warlord, could possibly kill them using secret techniques. Luo Feng's apparent strength is weak; as long as he doesn't reveal his secret Spirit Reader, no one will suspect him.
Don't worry, I won't give up easily.
You must return to the Base City immediately. Once you are back in the Base City, even if they are Wargod, they cannot kill anyone Base City.
I will look for an opportunity to reveal my whereabouts, then go into the Wilderness Zone and lie in wait, stalling for as long as possible.
Zhang Junbao, a newly minted martial artist, can survive in the Wilderness Zone for so long, there's no reason why I, Gao Feng, can't!
Having said that, Gao Feng had settled his affairs and was prepared to shoulder everything alone.
"No, Captain, I killed him, why should you go and die!" Luo Feng grabbed Gao Feng, preventing him from leaving.
" Luo Feng, you are Spirit Reader, and your future potential is much greater than ours. Only you have the chance to take revenge on Li Wei's parents."
Live on, that's my last request!
At the most critical moment, the members of the Fire Hammer Squad did not choose to betray Luo Feng. Instead, their captain Gao Feng, stepped forward and took on everything alone.
Zhang Junbao, who was outside the house, heard all of this clearly.
"Ahem, excuse me, just wanted to bother you." Zhang Junbao's voice rang out from outside.
"Who?!" The members of the Fire Hammer Squad were on high alert!
Luo Feng even directly controlled the throwing knife to shoot over. At this moment, anyone who knew the secret could very well take the lives of their entire team.
But to Luo Feng's surprise, his throwing knife was caught by someone with their bare hands.
How could this be? Could it be the Wargod?
"Hey Luo Feng, I've spent all that time cleaning up your messes, and this is how you treat me?"
"Who are you?
Junbao, how could it be you? Have you become the Wargod?
Luo Feng was shocked. He never expected that the person who came would be Zhang Junbao. In Zhang Junbao's hand, there was still the throwing knife that Luo Feng had just shot. Even if Luo Feng used his Spiritual Force, he could not make the throwing knife break free from the restraint of Zhang Junbao's two fingers.
"What, are you surprised? Your strength has improved quite quickly."
Captain Gao Feng, how have you been?
Zhang Junbao walked in by himself, completely ignoring the surprise of the Fire Hammer Squad. They all knew Zhang Junbao, but none of them expected to run into Zhang Junbao at this time.
Looking back, wasn't the whole incident initially caused by Zhang Junbao?
Upon discovering the "culprit" behind the whole affair, the members of the Fire Hammer Squad had very mixed feelings.
" Junbao, this is not the time for idle chatter. What are you doing here?" Gao Feng remained vigilant. The bounty information should have been received by all martial artists, meaning Zhang Junbao had also received it.
At this moment, Zhang Junbao appeared before them. What was his purpose? Had Zhang Junbao discovered Luo Feng's killing of Li Wei?
Although he had a past relationship with Zhang Junbao, Gao Feng didn't know if Zhang Junbao could maintain his composure in the face of a staggering 100 billion yuan fortune.
Could it be that Zhang Junbao discovered their whereabouts and came to capture them in exchange for the bounty?
At this point, the Fire Hammer Squad was like frightened birds; the harsh reality left them no choice but to think things through. If they still easily trusted others at this point, they truly deserved to be captured and have their bounty placed on their heads.
"Yes, Junbao, weren't you in the Elite Training Camp? Why are you here?" Luo Feng asked.
Don't be nervous, I'll explain why I'm here later.
As I just said, I came here to clean up your mess. I've covered up all the traces you left behind after killing Li Wei and the others, so Li Wei's parents won't find out yet that you killed Li Wei.
"Besides, it's just killing Li Wei, what's the big deal? He's just trash, killing him is no big deal. I also completely crippled the heir of the Polenas Family, Li Wei's cousin Candace, and nothing happened to me!" Zhang Junbao said calmly.
"You... how did you know?" This time, the entire Fire Hammer Squad was shocked.
What they were trying so hard to hide was easily revealed by Zhang Junbao, how could they not be shocked?
"You guys are just too inexperienced. It's only a bounty of 100 billion Huaxia Currency."
Is 100 billion a lot?
