Chapter 252: The Zhao Family Is Done For!
“The new Legate?”
Even Shang Yuntao’s expression changed. If Lin Feng was the Legate of Central Sea City, he would really be in big trouble. Considering what he had just done, although he would not be sentenced to death, he would at least have to guard the frontline for more than 20 years!
Twenty years was a long time even for a Divine Realm martial artist.
“That’s right. Lin Feng is the new Legate of Central Sea City. I’ve already received the order from above.”
Hearing Shen Jianxin confirm it again, everyone’s expressions changed.
The term of Legate was at least three years. In other words, Lin Feng could stay in Central Sea City for at least three years.
As long as Lin Feng was alive, the Lin family would be the top family in Central Sea City, and enter the top tier from then on!
All of this was because Lin Feng alone had changed the fate of the entire Lin family.
This was the influence of martial artists, especially under the new policy for martial artists, which made the influence of martial artists even greater. The surrounding ordinary people stared at Lin Feng enviously.
They knew the Lin family and even Lin Feng very well. After all, they had been “neighbors” for so many years.
Lin Feng had made such accomplishments in only a year. It was almost like a dream. However, perhaps the path of martial arts was just that incredible.
Hence, some people even secretly made up their minds to make all the young people in the family practice martial arts. What if someone with talent comparable to Lin Feng appeared? That would be the fortune of the family!
Lin Feng did not know that his appearance had affected the thoughts of so many ordinary people.
“Where are the law enforcement team members?”
“Lord Legate, what are your orders?”
“Arrest Zhao Dongsheng!”
Zhao Dongsheng’s face turned pale. There was no need for Lin Feng to make a move himself. Those law enforcement team members immediately captured Zhao Dongsheng.
Zhao Dongsheng knew the law and broke it. If he was sent to the Martial Artist Court, his outcome would probably not be much better than Shang Yuntao’s. Although he could not possibly be executed, if he was sent to the frontline for 10 or 20 years without even leave, how could the Zhao family maintain itself?
Moreover, Lin Feng was prepared to take down the Zhao family in one fell swoop this time. Arresting Zhao Dongsheng was just the beginning.
“Brother Shen, I’ll leave Shang Yuntao to you for now. You should escort him to the Martial Artist Court.”
“Brother Lin, when are you going to handle the handover?”
“In a few days. There’s no rush.”
Lin Feng shrunk his body and handed Shang Yuntao over to Shen Jianxin. Now that the Astral Power in Shang Yuntao’s body had been depleted from the eruption, it was a piece of cake for Shen Jianxin to control him.
As for whether Shen Jianxin and Zhao Dongsheng could escape?
Lin Feng really did not mind them escaping. If they were stupid, they could run all they liked. Then, Lin Feng would have a legitimate reason to kill the two of them.
Shen Jianxin nodded and waved his hand. “Take him away!”
He exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Feng and did not bother Lin Feng anymore. He ordered men to take Shang Yuntao and Zhao Dongsheng away directly.
“Brother, you were so impressive just now.”
After Shen Jianxin and the others left, Lin Qian immediately came to Lin Feng’s side. She was just an ordinary person. Although she also practiced martial arts, she was only a hobbyist who did it to strengthen her body, and could not be considered a professional martial artist at all.
Hence, it was hard for her to imagine how Lin Feng had transformed into a giant dozens of meters tall, or how he had shrunk to his normal size.
“Little sister, if you practice martial arts in the future, you might even be able to break the genetic lock.”
Lin Feng was not joking. He really planned to let his little sister, Lin Qian, practice martial arts when he returned this time. With Lin Feng’s various resources, even if he just accumulated resources, he could still push his little sister above a Grade Nine professional.
However, whether Lin Qian could break the genetic lock depended on herself. Lin Feng could not help either.
“Brother, Zhao Ping and the others have left!”
At this moment, Lin Qian said through gritted teeth. She hated Zhao Ping to the bone.
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Of course he saw Zhao Ping and Zhao Beisheng leave, but he did not stop them. In his eyes, these two people were already dead.
“Don’t worry, Sister. They won’t live for long.”
A vicious glint flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes.
…
In the Zhao family, Zhao Ping and Zhao Beisheng were like cats on hot bricks. They were panicking, but there was nothing they could do.
Zhao Dongsheng was the foundation of the Zhao family. Once Zhao Dongsheng went down, the Zhao family would fall apart.
“Dad, how’s Uncle?”
Zhao Ping’s lips were trembling slightly. He was really afraid. His uncle, Zhao Dongsheng, had been captured by the law enforcement team and had to go to the Martial Artist Court. In his eyes, it was almost like the sky was collapsing.
He knew very well what he had done over the years. Without his uncle’s influence, how could he have lived so indulgently?
Zhao Beisheng’s face was dark as he said coldly, “Your uncle got someone to send a message to us. Retreat! Our Zhao family will give up everything and leave Central Sea immediately. We lost this time. We lost everything…”
Zhao Beisheng felt a little pained. The East Sea Corporation was everything he had. He had put a lot of effort into it. He was really unwilling to give up just like that.
Zhao Ping was also stunned. He did not expect the matter to be so serious.
“Dad, without the East Sea Corporation, what are we supposed to survive on in the future? Dad, we didn’t do anything. Even if Lin Feng is the Legate, he wouldn’t dare to kill us directly, right?”
Zhao Ping was not willing to leave just like that either. If he did, he would not be able to live the comfortable life of a playboy.
“Idiot! Don’t you know what you’ve done over all these years? Lin Feng is now the Legate, and your uncle has been captured. Our Zhao family is finished…”
“Your uncle is right. Leave, leave immediately. As long as there’s life, there’s hope. Lin Feng is indeed showing his edge now and has a strong momentum. Hmph, but who knows what will happen in the future? Perhaps one day, he will die at the hands of those dire beasts at the frontline. Then, it will be time for us to return to Central Sea!”
Zhao Beisheng was also an ambitious businessman. No matter how unwilling and reluctant he was, he knew that they must leave now.
“Dad, is there any other way? I don’t want to leave…”
Bang. Bang. Bang.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sound at the Zhao family’s door.
Zhao Beisheng opened the door and realized that they were fully armed police officers.
These police officers surged in, immediately surrounding the two of them.
“What are you doing?”
Zhao Beisheng berated sternly.
The leading police officer immediately took out an arrest warrant and said, “Zhao Beisheng, Zhao Ping, this is the arrest warrant. Your crimes have been uncovered. Come with us.”
Looking at the fully armed police officers, Zhao Beisheng and Zhao Ping’s faces went pale at once.
“Dad, save me…”
Zhao Ping wailed at the top of his lungs, but Zhao Beisheng was motionless, as if he did not hear it.
He did not argue and was slowly escorted out of the house by the police, only stopping at the door to look back once more at the Zhao family’s villa behind him. He understood that he would probably never return this time.
The Zhao family was completely done for!
