Chapter 78: This Man Is No Ordinary Fellow

“Yes… that’s exactly what I meant.”
Zhang Zhendong actually found it somewhat embarrassing and couldn’t bring himself to say it directly, so he came up with such a roundabout approach.

Nothing else mattered—having such an expert as the group’s security consultant, would Zhao Tianlong dare to lay a hand on him again?

He hadn’t expected this man to expose his intentions with a single sentence. It was truly awkward.

He was, after all, a well-known figure in society; countless celebrities and big names clung to him, calling him “big brother,” and yet now, he had to call someone else “big brother.”

Alas, to ensure that his wife and child no longer lived in fear and that he had a powerful backer, he could only do this.

Ha! Even the chairman of Shengshi Entertainment Group has to cling to my leg for protection. What an absurdly satisfying turn of events.

Chen Yufeng, of course, felt a surge of pleasure in his heart but kept it hidden, maintaining an air of mystery. He coughed lightly and looked at Zhang Zhendong with a deliberate air, saying,
“It seems you’ve realized it too—this world isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface. There are forces you can’t even imagine, and terrifying figures are infiltrating everywhere. As for me, as an unrivaled master, I am the nemesis of these people.”

“Yes, yes! Big brother, your might is unparalleled, peerless in the world…”

Zhang Zhendong was truly taken in by the bluff. No matter what, now that he had acknowledged this man as his big brother, at least he could slap Zhao Tianlong a few times to vent his anger.

“Not just anyone is qualified to be my little brother, but I see you have some potential. I’ll give you a chance and accept you as my registered little brother for now,” Chen Yufeng said indifferently, relishing the satisfaction of putting on airs.

“Thank you, big brother, thank you! If you ever need my help, just say the word.”

Zhang Zhendong felt delighted inside. This was just a polite formality—now that you’re so powerful, what could you possibly need me for?

Sure enough, Chen Yufeng just waved his hand and replied casually, “No need for now. If I need you, I’ll let you know.”

“Then, may I ask your name, big brother? If anyone gives me trouble in the future, I’ll just mention your name and scare them off.” Zhang Zhendong hurried to ask—this was crucial.

Chen Yufeng didn’t hide it, not even bothering to come up with a nickname. He told him directly, “Remember, I am Chen Yufeng.”

“Alright, I’ve got it.”

Zhang Zhendong was overjoyed. With such a formidable big brother backing him, what was there to fear? He immediately strode over to Zhao Tianlong and, without a word, landed two resounding slaps on his face.

“Zhang Zhendong, you—”

“What about me? I have big brother protecting me now—why should I be afraid of you?”

With that, Zhang Zhendong, feeling a surge of triumph, landed two more slaps on Zhao Tianlong. The thought of being kidnapped by him today, and his wife and child suffering, only fueled his anger.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his blows grew heavier.

Slap, slap, slap—

Zhang Zhendong alternated hands, delivering more than a dozen hard slaps to Zhao Tianlong’s face, leaving it bruised and bloody. In his heart, the satisfaction was overwhelming; his anger was finally vented.

All of this, simply because he now had a powerful big brother—otherwise, how could he ever achieve such catharsis?

The miserable Zhao Tianlong, now being slapped by someone who usually lived in fear of him, was seething inside. Yet, with this man’s formidable big brother now backing him, Zhao Tianlong dared not retaliate.

“If you can call this monster your big brother, why can’t I?”

With this thought, Zhao Tianlong made up his mind. He stopped holding back, immediately fought back, pushed Zhang Zhendong to the ground, and slapped him several times in return.

Zhang Zhendong was no match for Zhao Tianlong, a former underworld boss who’d clawed his way out of countless battles. He could only turn to Chen Yufeng for help:

“Big brother, he dares disrespect you!”

“What, do you think you’re the only one who can call him big brother?” Zhao Tianlong shouted back, then dropped to his knees before Chen Yufeng, clutching his leg and begging through tears:

“Big brother, take me in as well!”

“Uh…”
Chen Yufeng was speechless. Seeing him so pitiful, he decided not to hit him again. After a pause, he replied offhandedly,

“Alright, since you’re so sincere, I’ll give you a chance—consider yourself my registered little brother for now.”

“Ah? Great, thank you, big brother!”
Zhao Tianlong was overjoyed. He immediately charged at Zhang Zhendong, intent on beating him up, but Chen Yufeng stopped him just in time:

“Enough! What are you doing? Don’t you know the rules? All my little brothers must be united, help each other, and care for one another. Understand?”

Crack—

As he reprimanded him, Chen Yufeng delivered a sharp slap to Zhao Tianlong’s face as punishment.

“Yes, yes, big brother, I was wrong. I won’t do it again,” Zhao Tianlong replied, trembling. Seeing that Chen Yufeng wasn’t going to hit him further, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, breathing heavily, trying to calm himself.

He was truly terrified.

After all, this was someone who could kill him in an instant!

He then turned to Yao Na and the bikini-clad beauty, who were sitting by the pool, stunned and frightened, and roared:

“You two brainless fools—has all your intelligence migrated to your chests? Still sitting there like idiots? Hurry up and prepare drinks for my big brother! And make sure you bring the very best!”

Perhaps afraid that Chen Yufeng might misunderstand, he quickly put on a smile and explained,

“Big brother, don’t worry, there’ll be nothing added to the drinks. I wouldn’t dare.”

“Even if you tried to drug me now, it’d be useless. You’d best wise up.”

“Yes, yes, big brother, you can rest assured.”

Yao Na and the bikini beauty, seeing that Chen Yufeng wasn’t going to kill them, breathed a sigh of relief, quickly composed themselves, and got up to prepare the drinks.

With Chen Yufeng present, Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Zhendong, though still glaring daggers at each other, didn’t dare escalate the conflict and instead shook hands and made peace.

Seeing his two little brothers both sporting swollen, battered faces, Chen Yufeng exchanged two bottles of highly effective healing salve from the Divine Market and handed them over:

“Take these and apply them. You two are at least people of some standing—try to look the part.”

“Yes, big brother,” Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Zhendong replied, their hearts warmed as they gratefully accepted the medicine.

“Thank you for your concern, big brother. We understand.”

“Good, as long as you do.”

Chen Yufeng glanced at Zhao Tianlong and ordered, “You, help Dongzi apply the medicine.”

Then, turning to Zhang Zhendong, he added, “You, help Longzi with his.”

“Ah? This…”

Both men were stunned, exchanging awkward glances. Two grown men rubbing medicine on each other’s faces—it was almost comical that big brother would come up with such an idea.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help each other. Only then will you truly be united,” Chen Yufeng barked at them, his face darkening.

“Alright, fine…”

Though there were a thousand reasons for reluctance in their hearts, Zhao Tianlong and Zhang Zhendong could only comply under Chen Yufeng’s intimidating presence.

The image of two powerful men awkwardly applying medicine to each other’s faces was…

Despite their status and power, in front of Chen Yufeng, neither dared act superior and both had to humble themselves as little brothers.

If only they knew that Chen Yufeng was just a high school student, who knows how they would feel.

After that, Chen Yufeng accompanied them for a few drinks. During the drinking, Yao Na and the bikini beauty gave him massages and waited on him attentively.

Chen Yufeng enjoyed the flattery of his little brothers, the service of beautiful women, and boasted grandly, spinning tales as he pleased, thoroughly relishing the moment.

Half an hour later, the drinks were finished, the boasting done, and it was time to make his exit…
