Yun Feng watched as Chen Shicheng disappeared behind the "human wall" and shook his head, both amused and annoyed.
He waved his hand at the burly men who were still wailing and begging for mercy, and cursed with a smile, "Alright, alright, look at you, so pathetic. Dock your pay? Dream on."
To put it nicely, these men were "big, dumb guys" whom he and Chen Shicheng had personally trained and promoted. To put it bluntly, their friendship was forged from breaking school rules together. If they weren't afraid of being called to the principal's office, why would they be afraid of having their pay docked?
The expenses of these guys were actually recorded in Yun Feng's personal account. Their relationship had already surpassed that of most employment relationships.
"All of you, stand guard properly. If anything goes wrong, just see how I'll deal with you!"
The burly men immediately fell silent, straightened their backs, and returned to their imposing bodyguard appearances. Their movements were as swift as Yun Feng's pre-fabricated expression just now, but a hint of relief from a near-disaster still lingered in their eyes.
Yun Feng straightened the suit jacket that Chen Shicheng had wrinkled, the look of a helpless and soft "older brother" on his face gradually receding, replaced by the calm demeanor of a corporate decision-maker.
Joking around with his brothers was his way of relaxing. After all, there were still many outsiders here. Moreover, this was no small matter; it was the final stop of Yun Mengxi's concert tour.
He couldn't be all smiles and laughter while handling it.
He turned, preparing to go to the control room for the final process confirmation. The few bodyguards looked at the departing Yun Feng, exchanged glances, and immediately followed.
However, just as Yun Feng passed through a relatively quiet corridor connecting the main venue to the backstage office area, the bodyguards who had been following closely behind him were only a second late in turning the corner, only to find the area ahead completely empty.
After a very brief moment of silence, the few tower-like burly men instantly exploded.
"Where's the boss?!"
"Where's our boss?!"
"Where's my boss?!"
In the fire escape next to the corridor, a drop of cold sweat dripped down Yun Feng's forehead. He pursed his lips tightly, watching as the men, who were so close to him, began to shout his name and search for him as if they were blind.
This bizarre feeling made Yun Feng feel as if he had instantly fallen into another dimension. And the culprit of all this was the person behind him, who had casually placed a hand on his shoulder.
No, it wasn't just a simple hand.
From the corner of his eye, Yun Feng could see a strange purple-green bracelet on that hand, regularly flashing with a rhythmic, flowing light. The light spots that occasionally flowed over it made Yun Feng's eyelids twitch violently.
If he were a little more ignorant, a little more ordinary, if he weren't the chairman of a large corporation, if his industry didn't span the entire Shenzhou and was just a business in a single city, he wouldn't have recognized what it was.
The unique sub-quantum bracelet of the core high-level personnel of the City of the Future—he had seen it before, so he recognized it, even though the bracelet in front of him was not the same as any he had seen...
But he would never mistake the light spots on the bracelet.
And this scene, where he was clearly right there, but the people around him were completely oblivious to him, also had a precedent—the Mosquito's Breath of the City of the Future. Although he had never actually seen it, its reputation was so thunderous that he couldn't help but have heard of it.
Yun Feng's heart was pounding violently in his chest, adrenaline surging. But years of navigating the business world made him forcefully suppress all impulses to resist. He didn't even have the thought of resisting.
He stood stiffly in place, his face tensed to hide his micro-expressions.
He could clearly feel the steady breathing of the person behind him, and the unquestionable sense of control transmitted from the hand on his shoulder.
It wasn't until those bodyguard brothers, who had been with him for more than a decade, left with shocked and slowly growing angry expressions that Yun Feng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Mosquito's Breath... it really is the Mosquito's Breath technology!
This stealth technology, which only existed in the legends of the high-level officials and top intelligence agencies of the City of the future, had actually appeared here, and was being used on him?
Who on earth is this person?
Mosquito's Breath plus a sub-quantum bracelet, is the person a core member of the City of the Future? But the only announcement he had recently received about a core member of the City of the Future entering Sapphire City was one—the aerospace project expert, Murata Ryusuke.
Only this person could meet the conditions of having both "Mosquito's Breath" and a "sub-quantum bracelet"... but why?
What reason did Murata Ryusuke have to appear here in such an unfriendly manner, and to use this demonstrative behavior to be alone with him?
And was the person really Murata Ryusuke? Yun Feng was also highly skeptical, because in his heart, he was more inclined to believe that the person behind him was another person in Sapphire City—
The guy who disguised himself as the superhero from the tokusatsu series "Arahata" and punished the wicked and helped the weak in Sapphire City.
"Mr. Yun Feng, my apologies for the intrusion," Joachim's voice sounded from behind him, as calm as if he were just stating a fact. "Please rest assured, this is only to avoid unnecessary commotion."
"Heh..." Yun Feng, who had been hesitant in his heart, was instantly certain of his thoughts after hearing Joachim's voice.
"I didn't expect the righteous hammer of Arahata to fall on me, an upright and honest man. Am I, the outstanding entrepreneur of Sapphire City, and the youngest and greatest philanthropist of our time, also some heinous criminal?"
Yun Feng sneered and slowly raised his hands, instantly transforming his image into that of a "prisoner."
There was no need to strike a pose at this time. More importantly, no matter why this "hero" had sought him out, Yun Feng didn't think it was necessary for him to be deeply involved.
Cooperate with the other party to the greatest extent possible, get rid of this plague god as soon as possible, and preferably, don't let anyone know that this guy had contacted him.
Yun Feng didn't even think about using this guy's current influence to build a positive image for himself. He didn't need to do that. For him, it wouldn't even be the icing on the cake, it would just bring him a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Yun Feng, you don't need to act so humble. I have come this time with no malice, but with respect to seek cooperation."
"And, even one of the Ten Most Moving Figures of Shenzhou could be a hypocrite, just as there are scoundrels in our City of the Future who disregard human ethics."
Yun Feng, who had already been nominated for this year's Ten Most Moving Figures of Shenzhou, his eye twitched again. For a moment, he didn't know if the other party was warning him or simply stating a fact.
"So, is this your attitude of cooperation?" But since the other party had already started to cast a wide net, Yun Feng would naturally not be outdone. "Or is it the style of the City of the Future to be such robbers?
"What, is this also a kind of inheritance?"
The City of the Future was founded in the Americas and Europe, places where a culture of robbery was prevalent. It had to be said that Yun Feng's curse was really filthy, and it already had the distinct style of Shenzhou, which was centered on the family tree.
