"What are you smiling for?!" Ding Feng shouted.
The man that humiliated him yesterday smiled as he came for revenge.
Yi didn't answer, which made Ding Feng nearly lose it completely. But thinking back to his father, he kept his composure.
The people by his side right now were all people loyal to his father, not him. All trained in the military or at famous martial arts schools.
The problem was that since they were his father's people, they would probably report about how he handled the situation.
So for now, instead of reacting to Yi, he talked to Yan Yuiling. "Yuiling, I never wanted this to happen, but in the end you forced my hand. I came here today to give you one last chance. Fire your bodyguard and let my men take care of him and become my girlfriend. If you do that, you will keep your company. If you refuse, however, you will not like what happens next."
Hearing the ominous threat of Ding Feng, both Yi and Yan Yuiling could imagine what Ding Feng talked about regarding what would happen next, but Yan Yuiling didn't show fear.
"Ding Feng, I will not accept, never in my life. I would rather die. You might be able to take my company, but one day, you will see how you destroyed yourself. Not me, but you. And when that time comes, I want you to remember that it wasn't me who did this to you; it was yourself," she just answered.
"You dare to threaten me from this position?!" Ding Feng got even angrier. "Then let's get down to business. Guards, kill this guy and take her with us," he shouted.
Ding Feng, being disrespected by both Yan Yuiling and her bodyguard, chose to end things here. The bodyguard would die, and Yan Yuiling's fate might get even worse.
As the guards were storming towards Yi and Yan Yuiling, Yi finally moved. He disappeared from his spot and appeared in front of the guards in an instant.
Then, without saying anything, a massacre began. No, he did not kill them one after another; one by one he broke the guards down bone by bone.
After the first hit, the guard fell to the ground with a broken leg, then the other. Next were the arms, shoulder, back, etc.
And the worst thing of all, he didn't do it to one at a time; he made rounds. One round of immobilizing them, then the breaking. Bone by bone, all at the same time.
No blood was spilled, but the breaking of bones was clear to hear.
Both Ding Feng and Yan Yuiling looked at the scene in horror as the screams of the guards resounded through the meanwhile almost empty building.
Yi stopped after some time as the guards lay on the ground, unable to scream anymore. Then he turned to Ding Feng, with the same smile he had on his face during the entire time since Ding Feng stepped into the room.
Step by step, Yi walked towards Ding Feng, who panicked, "Don't come closer, stop! Stop! I am from the Ding family!"
But Yi kept walking until he was just one step away from Ding Feng. "Any last words?"
"Please don't hurt me," was the only thing Ding Feng could say before the pain began.
Yan Yuiling watched from her desk in astonishment. The way he beat the guards, is this what it means to be superhuman?
Now she watched the screams of Ding Feng, something she never imagined seeing in her lifetime. Ding Feng's status was so high, it was simply something she could not touch, but before Yi, all he could do was scream. Is this true power?
She wasn't sure, as guns, tanks, and nukes existed. All she knew for now was that with Yi around, she would be safe. Something she already suspected before, but seeing it by herself made her confident yet somewhat yearning.
Yi gave Ding Feng the same treatment as the guards until Yan Yuiling suddenly stood up and interjected. "Leave him able to recover."
Yi looked somewhat questioning towards Yan Yuiling while letting Ding Feng go but soon understood that Yan Yuiling, coming from this world, probably wasn't accustomed to violence.
"I need him to have no excuses when his downfall comes," she simply said.
"Should I force the Ding family to stop whatever they are doing to your company?" Yi asked shortly after, not quite sure what Yan Yuiling meant before.
"No. This company is gone and in the past now. I will focus on my new project. And hopefully you will be able to help me."
"Sure, just tell me what I need to do."
"Let's leave this place first; this scenery doesn't quite fit strategy meetings," Yan Yuiling smiled while thinking back on Yi's words.
He talks about suppressing the Ding family like it would be nothing for him. Is this true power? Not money, or contacts, or anything else. Just your own strength. Well, that was his old world.
...
"I tell you, it was worse. Worse than these monsters. You should stay away; he is something neither you nor anyone can handle," Pan Hong said.
"Yeah, yeah, you said that already. That's why you ran away that night. But one thing is very interesting. You said something changed his mood, turned him into the monster, and made him cause the incident. Do you know what exactly the cause was?" Lao Bing asked.
"I don't know; like I said at the time, I couldn't think straight. Well, thinking back, it was probably something regarding his employer. Maybe he was in danger or something." Pan Hong answered truthfully.
Lao Bing concluded the questioning after asking a few more questions. This bodyguard, namely Li, responsible for the incident within the hotel, couldn't be found, but more leads were discovered.
Li, in fact, was just a fabricated identity, yet no one knew his real identity.
What was intriguing was that something within this party must have happened to provoke him, and Lao Bing was sure that finding the cause would lead to finding him.
Since Li left Ling Qidong behind after quitting, she was sure that Ling Qidong, even though he knocked out people for him, wasn't the cause for his outburst. Something else took place. Something she didn't know yet.
