Chapter 056: What's the Point of Being Invincible

Chapter 056: Invincible, So What?

In truth, this man’s name was Dog Egg. He was a minor leader of the Invincible Gang, sent tonight by his boss to collect protection fees—a delightful job, really, at least until he encountered Ye Feng. He could enjoy the barbecue, sip some liquor, and still walk away with cash—what’s not to love? But unexpectedly, he came across the owner of a nightclub demanding payment for the barbecue he’d eaten. Damn it, since when did he ever pay for any of it? And worse, the owner refused to pay protection fees. That truly enraged Dog Egg.

Without a word, he dragged the stall owner out and gave him a beating. Some people initially wanted to help, but Dog Egg’s henchmen sent them packing one by one. Ye Feng witnessed the whole scene. Though plenty watched, no one dared intervene—after all, in the provincial capital, Invincible Gang held sway just as the Justice Sect did in You County. No one was foolish enough to risk their neck over this.

Dog Egg called his boss, Zhu Neng. Zhu Neng was a leader under Invincible Gang, commanding over a hundred men, while Dog Egg was one of his subordinates. Dog Egg took pride in his boss’s abilities. Damn it, when his boss arrived, he’d make sure that brat would neither live nor die easily.

Soon, several motorcycles roared up, and a broad, heavyset man strode in. “Dog Egg, if you’re still alive, answer me now!” Ye Feng turned toward the voice, seeing a lump of flesh in motion, and couldn’t help but smile. Damn, he’d thought the guy would be impressive, but this was all there was.

“Boss, I’m here! My leg was broken by that guy—help me kill him, boss!” Dog Egg, sprawled on the ground, waved frantically so his boss could spot him.

“What! Damn it, who did this?” Zhu Neng rushed in, lifting Dog Egg. Dog Egg was ruthless and reliable, and paid Zhu Neng respect every month, so Zhu Neng favored him. Seeing Dog Egg in such a state now filled him with rage—it was a slap in the face.

“It was me. Are you his boss?” Ye Feng calmly looked at Zhu Neng. Zhu Neng glanced at Ye Feng—so young, yet so formidable. Not only had he taken down Dog Egg, but Dog Egg’s men were sprawled on the ground as well.

“Yes, I’m Zhu Neng, Dog Egg’s boss. May I ask who you are, daring to interfere in Invincible Gang’s business?” Zhu Neng, sensing Ye Feng wasn’t simple, decided to be polite—better not let a flood wash away the temple by mistake.

“Invincible Gang, so what? Why must you act so arrogant, beating people up for nothing? I couldn’t stand it, so I stepped in. What now, Zhu Neng? Are you here to cover for your men?” Ye Feng dismissed them all.

“Brother, are you trying to die but too embarrassed to admit it?” Zhu Neng forced himself to remain calm, but Ye Feng’s indifference infuriated him further. “Brother, you’re not leaving tonight. You hurt my men, now deal with it!”

“Deal with it? You think bullying people is justified?” Ye Feng looked at Zhu Neng with disdain. He’d always despised those who preyed on the weak. Collecting protection fees was a gang’s way of surviving—one could argue that’s understandable— but attacking people like this was crossing a line.

“Damn it, you’re asking for trouble! I’ll make you regret it soon.” Zhu Neng waved his hand, and over twenty men closed in. Ma Long and his group wanted to rush over, but Ye Feng signaled them not to. They needed to survive in the provincial capital; getting mixed up in this wouldn’t do, especially if trouble came knocking later.

“Heh, let me tell you, Zhu Neng, the word ‘regret’ isn’t in my dictionary.” Ye Feng’s expression grew even more contemptuous. The men closing in were skilled, perhaps, but compared to him, they were leagues apart.

“Go, don’t hold back!” Zhu Neng was furious. In the provincial capital, he was a big name—everyone called him Brother Zhu. But this brat was so defiant; if he didn’t kill him, how could he keep his reputation?

With Zhu Neng’s command, his men swarmed Ye Feng. For Ye Feng, such a scene was nothing. Though some carried weapons, those meant nothing to Ye Feng.

One man swung a steel pipe at Ye Feng; it grazed past his ear. Ye Feng dodged, then landed a heavy punch into the man’s abdomen. With a groan, the man collapsed.

Zhu Neng had thought his numbers would overwhelm Ye Feng, especially since many were armed. No matter how skilled the brat was, surely he’d fall to knives and pipes. He didn’t believe so many men couldn’t kill him.

But Zhu Neng was quickly disappointed. Ye Feng moved with precision—one after another, Zhu Neng’s men fell, groaning on the ground. Ye Feng hadn’t gone all out, just given them a lesson. Killing wasn’t an option; in any nation, no matter how strong you are, never go against the state.

Having dealt with Zhu Neng’s men, Ye Feng walked slowly toward him. “Now it’s just you left. I’ll show you what regret really is. Invincible Gang—what is that? And I’ll tell you, you’re not qualified to collect protection fees here anymore.”

“Damn it, brat, are you tired of living, talking to me like that?” Zhu Neng raged, lunging at Ye Feng. Despite his bulk, he was trained and had some moves, but to Ye Feng, they were nothing.

Soon, Zhu Neng realized he was no match. The more they fought, the more frightened he became. Facing such a master, how could he not worry? But Zhu Neng wasn’t stupid. He seized a steel pipe from the ground and swung it at Ye Feng.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng caught it with a swift move, wrested the pipe from Zhu Neng’s hand, and slammed it into Zhu Neng’s chest. Zhu Neng collapsed, coughing up blood. “Big brother, I was wrong! I admit it! I’ll never dare again—please, have mercy! I have family to support, big brother!”

“Get lost. Don’t let me see you again. And if you dare to collect protection fees here, this is what awaits you.” With that, Ye Feng grabbed the steel pipe, snapped it in half, leaving Zhu Neng dumbfounded. Damn—his own boss wasn’t this fierce. This kid was something else.

“Yes, yes, we won’t dare again.” Damn it, let the green hills remain and worry about firewood later—survival comes first. One day, he’d get his revenge. Zhu Neng hurried away with his men, while Dog Egg was lifted into a car by two others.
