Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Lu Feifei Brings the Wolf into the House!

Second floor, the large private room.

Before she even entered, Lu Feifei felt a chill.

Instinctively, she stopped, turned her head, and glanced at Lin Fan by her side.

He just gave a faint smile and squeezed her slightly cold hand.

This gave her a bit of courage.

She pushed open the door in front of her.

"Whoosh!"

A wind carrying the scent of blood howled out.

Lu Feifei furrowed her brows and looked at the crowd sitting inside.

Twenty to thirty people, all sitting there in silence.

Besides the cold gazes cast their way, not a sound was emitted.

Those eyes, full of maliciousness, were like sharp blades.

Any movement, and there would be a disaster of bloodshed.

Facing such terrifying characters, Lu Feifei felt somewhat uncertain.

Fortunately, Lin Fan stood by her side.

Summoning her courage, she stepped into the private room.

At the same time, her eyes moved towards the man at the front.

The man, sitting up straight, wore the same dark green fatigues as the others.

He sat with a bearish build and a tiger’s back.

His deep eyes communicated nothing but cruelty.

The scar on his right cheek made his already fierce face look even more malicious.

Just one glance from him made Lu Feifei feel her heart racing.

If Lin Fan had not been there, she would have been completely panicked.

"Are you the Lonely Wolf?"

Although still apprehensive, Lu Feifei appeared much calmer.

As someone who grew up on the streets,

she could hold her own in the face of these desperate characters.

"Thanks for the invitation, Sister Phoenix!"

The Lone Wolf stood up, revealing a smile.

But from his fierce face, it looked terrifying no matter how you saw it.

"These days, the Lonely Wolf Group has been stirring up quite a buzz on the streets. Seeing it now in person, indeed, it’s a group of hot-blooded men. Being invited here is also my honor."

Lu Feifei did not offer a handshake but sat directly in the chair opposite.

She and the other had already discussed that Phoenix would take the lead.

Lin Fan’s task was to provide cover.

"Although I have not been back in the country for long, Sister Phoenix has recently been quite dominant, not only taking down her own godfather but also uniting the whole power of Jiangning. She truly does not concede to men. I, the Lone Wolf, consider myself to have some judgement, but to encounter a partner like Sister Phoenix is really fortunate."

The Lone Wolf stared directly at Lu Feifei.

The invisible pressure made it almost unbearable for her.

But when she heard the second half of the statement, Lu Feifei realized something was amiss.

She had invited him to join under her command, at most as a capable general.

But the moment he spoke, he referred to a partnership.

This attitude hardly seemed like one of surrender.

"Lone Wolf, I’m afraid there’s been a misunderstanding," Lu Feifei continued with a stern face. "The invitation I sent was very clear. I invited the Lone Wolf Group here to merge into my Vermilion Bird Commerce. So, we are not partners."

Lu Feifei continued, "Of course, as a condition for the merger, I can offer you sufficient territory, a wealth of connections, and a certain amount of assets. You can gradually manage these businesses."

"Join forces?"

Lonewolf couldn’t help but reveal a contemplative smile after hearing these words.

"So what you’re implying, Sister Phoenix, is that you want to swallow up my Lonewolf Group, and from now on, have us become your subordinates?"

"Exactly. As far as I know, you’ve already tried to join forces with Wang Hu’s Tiger Head Gang in the provincial city, but he didn’t agree. Of course, I can guarantee that I’m offering the most, and the situation in Jiangning now isn’t as complicated as in the provincial city. You could almost take over control without any need for force."

Lu Feifei narrowed her eyes.

From Lonewolf’s expression, she sensed disdain.

"You and Wang Hu are not the same, just like how Jiangning is completely different from the provincial city. Wang Hu, as an Alliance Hierarch, has many experts under his command. Joining him, we could rely on our fists to fight for territory. But in this small place of Jiangning, I see no prospects. Even if, as you say, we can conquer without the use of force, if the information I’ve received is correct, you’ve fallen out with Wang Hu."

Lonewolf took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Wang Hu is currently clashing with other forces over territory and can’t spare the time to deal with you, but that doesn’t mean he’ll let you be forever. So, sooner or later, you’ll have to face off against Wang Hu. Your people are not even close to being a match for his, which is why you’re looking to recruit us. In other words, it’s just to stand up against Wang Hu. The risk we’re taking is so huge and the returns so uneven, I’m not interested in such a losing deal, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Lu Feifei asked with knitted brows.

"Unless you give up the top spot in Jiangning to me. I can leave you a quarter of the territory and ensure you won’t suffer attacks from Wang Hu, but your people must follow my orders."

Lonewolf smiled and lit his cigarette.

Already aware of the trickery involved, he naturally wouldn’t agree.

"Impossible!"

Lu Feifei rejected the proposal without hesitation.

"You better think this through. If Wang Hu really comes knocking, you won’t even have a quarter of the territory left, so this might be your last chance. I sincerely suggest you accept my proposal."

Blowing out a puff of smoke, Lonewolf looked coldly at Lu Feifei.

"I also suggest that in the future you refrain from making casual proposals. I’ll handle my business with Wang Hu myself. Since you’re not sincere about joining my commerce, there’s no need to discuss this further. You can leave."

Lu Feifei certainly didn’t plan on inviting the wolf into her house herself.

How could she hand over the hard-won territory on a silver platter?

"Sister Phoenix, you will regret this rash decision today. Are you really not going to reconsider?"

Lonewolf didn’t move, but stared straight into Lu Feifei’s eyes.

That oppressive feeling made her quite uncomfortable.

"There’s no point in further discussion if we’re not on the same page. Let’s just pretend we’ve never met. You go your way, and I’ll go mine."

Lu Feifei stood up.

From the beginning, Lonewolf never intended to become part of her forces.

On the contrary, he planned to take over her nest, which was way out of line.

"Fine, if there’s nothing else to talk about, then there’s nothing to talk about."

Lonewolf didn’t give in and tossed his cigarette butt onto the ground.

Then he stamped it out with his military boot.

"Let’s talk about something else then."

"What else is there to talk about?"

Lu Feifei observed Lonewolf’s calm demeanor.

There seemed to be a problem.

"Let’s discuss what Wang Hu asked me to do before I came to Jiangning."

Lonewolf grinned. "He’s already agreed that as long as I take you out this time, I’ll become the king of Jiangning afterward. Everything in Jiangning will belong to me. I originally wanted to play fair, but since Sister Phoenix is willing to let it go so easily, I have no choice but to take it by force."

"You’re going to do Wang Hu’s bidding and take me out?"

Lu Feifei narrowed her eyes.

She didn’t expect that Lonewolf would turn the tables.

But all he did was smile.

"How could someone like me be content serving others for long? Isn’t it better to be my own boss?"
