Chapter 299: Chapter 300: Winning Glory for the Country, Cute and Adorable

Chu Feng turned and entered the café, where someone immediately came up to greet him.

"Mr. Chu, the boss is waiting for you in the private room," the waiter said politely.

Chu Feng nodded and followed him into the private room.

Inside the private room, Zhuang Xinyan and Black Widow were already there, and clearly, Black Widow’s eyes dodged upon seeing Chu Feng.

"Please have a seat, Chu Feng," Zhuang Xinyan said, gesturing with her hand.

Chu Feng, unceremoniously, took a seat opposite them. He then picked up a cup of tea and said, "Not bad, Frozen Summit oolong. It’s really something to be able to enjoy tea in a coffee shop."

"I prepared some especially after you came last time," Zhuang Xinyan said.

Chu Feng smiled and responded, "I can’t accept such special treatment; it’s like I’m the same as the owner of this place."

"As the Chairman of Dragon Soaring, you naturally count as half the owner of this shop. This place has half its shares in Dragon Soaring. And many shops around the school have shares with Dragon Soaring, too. As the Chairman, you have the right to mobilize these resources," Zhuang Xinyan explained.

Hearing Zhuang Xinyan’s words, Chu Feng replied, "I always thought that being the Chairman of Dragon Soaring was just for show. I didn’t expect that there would be such perks and benefits."

"There are many more benefits to being the Chairman of Dragon Soaring, and someday I’ll tell you all about them," Zhuang Xinyan said.

After that, Zhuang Xinyan fell silent, and Chu Feng did the same, both quietly drinking their tea.

After much hesitation, Black Widow finally spoke up, "Chairman, although it’s a bit late for me to say this now, I really do want to apologize sincerely."

Having said that, Black Widow also picked up a cup of tea and offered it to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng set down his own cup and took the one from Black Widow, asking, "It’s not poisoned, is it?"

In a hurry, Black Widow answered, "No poison!"

"They say the black widow is one of the most poisonous creatures in the world, but sometimes a woman’s heart can be even more poisonous than these creatures," Chu Feng remarked.

"Chu Feng, by saying that, you’re offending Rongrong as well. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tattle on you?" Zhuang Xinyan said.

It was clear Zhuang Xinyan was trying to ease the situation for Black Widow.

Chu Feng took a sip of his tea and said, "I didn’t mean it that way. Her heart isn’t that poisonous, and her nature isn’t bad. After all, your interests align. Her making that choice, it wasn’t bad either."

"Our interests are the same; there’s no division between yours and mine," Zhuang Xinyan stated.

Getting up, Chu Feng said, "Alright! I’ve had my tea and you’ve given your apology, so I’m going to head back."

"Hirata Shigeru, the top expert from the Iga Family of the Eastern, has challenged you. What are you planning to do?" Zhuang Xinyan asked.

"How did you know about that?" Chu Feng inquired.

"There are few who don’t know of this. Now, everyone who should be aware is already in the know," Zhuang Xinyan told him.

Chu Feng touched his nose and said, "That means I’m the last to know."

"By releasing such news, they merely want to force you to accept the challenge," Zhuang Xinyan said.

"What else do you know? Tell me. I’m all alone with no one to gather such intel for me," Chu Feng said.

Zhuang Xinyan glanced at Black Widow, clearly leaving the opportunity to provide information to her.

Black Widow composed herself before saying, "The news was circulated by Jin Enhui and the Iga Family. The purpose, as Xinyan said, is clear now. The current situation is this: not many people are optimistic about you because, from the information we’ve gathered, this Sword Obsession is extremely skilled.

Since he started his career, he has never been defeated. And this year, his Kung Fu has progressed the fastest. He’s been continuously challenging and defeating renowned experts of the Eastern, and now he seems to be trending towards becoming the top person in the Eastern."

After a pause, Black Widow continued, "The people he challenges aren’t like Hirata Shigeru; they’re the truly long-established experts of the Eastern."

Chu Feng nodded, he didn’t need Black Widow to tell him this; he understood it well.

Although Hirata Shigeru was dubbed the number one expert of Eastern, he was just a figurehead on display. The real masters wouldn’t behave like him, flaunting their status as the number one expert of Eastern all the time.

Oftentimes, such people lacked true skill and substance.

Chu Feng said, "Is there anything else?"

Black Widow said, "There’s also the movements of the Wu Family and Jin Family, although they haven’t expressed it explicitly. But it’s clear, they’re both on Jin Enhui’s side. The message that they don’t have high hopes for you is also something they’ve helped to spread."

Chu Feng sipped his tea and said, "In that case, it looks like I can make a big profit again. What are my odds now?"

"Ah!"

Black Widow hadn’t expected Chu Feng’s thoughts to leap so quickly and was momentarily at a loss for words.

A bit stunned, Black Widow then said, "There are no odds for this, because if you lose, the real stakes will be much greater than that."

Chu Feng complained dispiritedly, "That’s really boring, missing out on such a money-making opportunity. You all have much more to gain, but I’m fighting tooth and nail and don’t get any tangible benefits."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "Your benefits will also be much greater than that if you win. The Chu Family would naturally become a prestigious clan."

Chu Feng raised his hand and said, "Stop right there. I don’t need any false titles, nor do I need others to label me a prestigious clan. In this world, no one is qualified to judge Chu Feng."

This was Chu Feng’s confidence.

Zhuang Xinyan said, "How about I use the influence of the Zhuang Family and Dragon Soaring to stir the odds in your favor?"

Chu Feng said, "There’s no need for that. If I win, people might think we’re setting up a trap for others. I don’t want to make so many enemies for no reason, and carrying the banner of ’fighting for national glory’ just makes me feel kind of silly."

"..."

Both Zhuang Xinyan and Black Widow were somewhat speechless.

"By the way, do you know when he’s set the challenge for?" asked Chu Feng.

"You don’t know?" Zhuang Xinyan asked in return.

Chu Feng said, "I could have known, but the messenger got beaten up by me. Then he probably didn’t feel cute anymore, and he ran off before he could even deliver the challenge letter."

"..."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "They’ve set it for New Year’s Day."

Chu Feng said, "That won’t work! I have plans on New Year’s Day, let’s change it to Christmas. There’s nothing special about celebrating these Western holidays."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "There’s no use telling me that."

Chu Feng said, "You’re all high-ranking people, naturally you should pass the message. I can’t reach that height, so should I go to the radio station and shout out, ’Sword Obsession, I want to change the date of the contest’?"

After pausing for a moment, Chu Feng said, "Besides, I’m now the Dragon Soaring Chairman, don’t I have that much authority?"

Black Widow said, "I’ll handle it."

Chu Feng said, "Then I’ll leave it to you."

Black Widow said, "It’s no trouble. You two keep chatting; I’ll be going now."

After saying that, Black Widow stood up and left.

Once Black Widow had left, Zhuang Xinyan looked at Chu Feng and said, "She’s really afraid of you!"
