Chapter 620: Chapter 0622: Take Good Care of My Granddaughter [Middle]

Chu Feng glanced at the corner camera and said, "They’ve known since you came out of the room. But now, none of that matters anymore. Take me down to save Old Master Zhuang."

Fifty meters underground, no wonder Chu Feng didn’t notice a thing. Such depth had exceeded the range his Divine Sense could detect.

This secret room, which the Zhuang Family had built for refuge, could withstand even nuclear strikes, not just mere refuge. Besides the few members of the Zhuang Family who knew how to enter, no one else did.

There were no escape routes inside the secret room; entrance and exit were through a single pathway.

Such an arrangement had its pros and cons. If there were other passageways, excessive traces would inevitably be left.

The more traces there were, the easier it would be to be discovered. Even a fool knows this principle, but without a backdoor, it meant cutting off a retreat. If someone blocked the entrance, there would be no escaping.

The people inside the secret room were facing just such a situation.

"Stop looking, there are no other exits here," Old Master Zhuang said indifferently, showing no sign of capitulation or distress of a captive.

The kidnappers were now regretting not asking whether there were other ways out of the safest place in the Zhuang Family, only asking about its safety.

Obviously, they couldn’t be entirely blamed. A normal person would assume there should be a spiritual escape route, but the Zhuang Family did the opposite, with only one way in and out.

Seeing Chu Feng and Zhuang Xinyan arriving at the entrance, the kidnapper made his move. He pried open Old Master Zhuang’s mouth and forced a black pill inside.

"You’d better cooperate in a moment because if you don’t, I can’t guarantee your and your granddaughter’s safety," the kidnapper rasped.

Old Master Zhuang burst out laughing, "You think I’ll cooperate? Do you think that’s even possible?"

"Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

Old Master Zhuang said calmly, "I’ve long considered myself dead, and for me, living to such an old age is more than enough. But for you, having to die with me, isn’t that a great loss? I know you martial artists have longer lifespans than us.

At your age, this might only be the beginning for you. Your life should have been much longer. Sadly, you met me, so now you probably only have a few hours left. If you have any last words, you’d better write them down quickly. Otherwise, you won’t have time later."

"Do you think all your talk can shake my resolve?"

Old Master Zhuang laughed and replied, "Don’t you think you’re overestimating yourself? I never intended to shake your resolve. To me, someone who can only live in darkness like you, doesn’t even have dignity, let alone resolve. What significance does talking about resolve have to me?"

"Shut your mouth!"

Old Master Zhuang’s words infuriated the kidnapper.

"I’m about to die anyhow; soon I’ll be silenced for good. I might as well say more, maybe even earn a bit more. You can talk more too, so you don’t regret not having the chance later on," Old Master Zhuang continued.

"I told you to shut up, or I’ll kill you right now!" the kidnapper threatened fiercely.

Old Master Zhuang replied, "I’ve said that I’m ready to die. You can kill me anytime, or even right now. In any case, I never planned on leaving here."

Hearing Old Master Zhuang’s words, the kidnapper suddenly felt an urge to cry.

You’re not planning to live, but I’m not ready to die. Are you instilling this thought in me so I won’t suffer too much when I die?

Am I supposed to thank you and pay you for this psychological counseling you’re giving me?

"You shut up right now, or else I’ll make your granddaughter’s life worse than death!" the kidnapper threatened again.

Old Master Zhuang continued to shake his head, "If someone else had come, I really would have been nervous and afraid. But knowing that this young man came, I’m reassured. Did I mention, can you pass on a few last words for me?"

"Yes," the kidnapper replied without thinking, simply wishing Old Master Zhuang would be quiet, without truly considering what he meant.

"Good, since that’s the case, could you pass on a few last words for me?" Old Master Zhuang requested.

Only then did the kidnapper catch on and angrily said, "I told you to be quiet."

Old Master Zhuang challenged, "As a martial artist, you can’t even keep the most basic promises. Do you think you’re still worthy of being a martial artist?"

For the first time, the kidnapper felt the impulse to release his captive voluntarily. Battling alongside such a ’diehard’ elder was a tremendous torment indeed.

"It’s alright, I’ve only got a few things to say, all meant for my granddaughter," said Old Master Zhuang.

"Your granddaughter is about to arrive; you can tell her yourself," the kidnapper, watching Chu Feng and Zhuang Xinyan reach the door, said as he stared at the screen.

Zhuang Xinyan opened the last door, and Chu Feng saw Old Master Zhuang being controlled by the kidnapper.

A hand of the kidnapper restrained Old Master Zhuang, while a dagger pressed against his neck.

The kidnapper, with the strength of a Xuan Level Late Stage martial artist, clearly understood Chu Feng’s capabilities; so he opted for the most secure hostage strategy.

"Let me go, and I’ll release him. Otherwise, prepare to collect his corpse. He’s just swallowed an antidote-less poison," the kidnapper stated, shielding himself behind Old Master Zhuang.

Chu Feng looked at the kidnapper and said, "You got your entrance all wrong. Let’s redo this. We’ll re-enter, and you ask us again, ok?"

After speaking, Chu Feng pulled Zhuang Xinyan and walked out.

A confused Zhuang Xinyan followed Chu Feng out.

Chu Feng re-entered the room, to the complete bewilderment of the kidnapper, who didn’t know what to say.

Because he had no idea why Chu Feng was doing this.

"Why aren’t you speaking? Did you forget your lines? Let me tell you, you should say, ’Finally, you’ve arrived.’ Then, you repeat what you said earlier. How you’re going to threaten us, how you poisoned him, your demands, and so on. Let’s take it from the top," Chu Feng instructed seriously.
