Chapter 95 - 95: Hostages
Lin Fan saw his three family members being tied up on the poles and he tightly clenched his fists.
He turned to them and shouted, "Don't worry, I will get you all down and bring you home safely!"
But his mother shouted, "Fan'er, don't worry about us, just go!"
But Lin Fan shouted, "Don't worry, just believe in me and I'll get you out of this!"
His mother wanted to say something else, but seeing the determined look on his face, she didn't know what to say.
As for his father, he knew that there were things between men that couldn't be said. When he saw Lin Fan show up with everyone behind him, he knew that Lin Fan had some secret he had been keeping from them. But he also knew that as men, they should have secrets, so he silently accepted his son's secret.
Then there was Lin Yue, who while looked calm and cold on the surface was actually worried about Lin Fan right now.
Why had they been kidnapped?
Why were these people looking to hurt her big brother?
Moreover, why was she so weak that she couldn't beat them all up?
Feng Yu just had the same cold smile on his face as he began clapping and he said, "Well, well, isn't this all very touching? But unfortunately, this isn't the time for this."
Lin Fan turned back to Feng Yu, "What do you want? Or do you really think you would win in a fight against us?"
Feng Yu suddenly raised his hand and wagged his finger, "Ze, ze, there's no need to be in such a rush. Before that, how about we play a game?"
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Feng Yu, trying to see through him, but he couldn't see any clues, "What kind of game?"
Feng Yu's smile became wider as he said, "Well, it's a very simple game. We'll be playing a game of Simon Says and as long as you follow along, I'm sure the hands of my subordinates up there won't slip. I'm sure we wouldn't want anything to happen to the pretty face that your little sister has, right?"
Lin Fan's eyes filled with rage as he roared, "Your Feng Family truly is shameless!"
At this, Feng Yu's smile disappeared and he said, "We might be shameless, but we will be the one who survives in the end. In the end, only the winner will be able to write history while the losers will turn into dust in the yellow springs."
Lin Fan could tell that he was serious. The Feng Family had been pushed beyond their bottom line, at this point they were fighting for their survival. Prestige meant nothing to them.
Lin Fan wanted to smash Feng Yu into the ground, but right now he couldn't since Feng Yu was holding every card. For now, the only thing he could do was endure.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll play your game."
Feng Yu gave a clap and revealed a smile once again, "Good, good, it's always a good sign when someone is willing to cooperate. I really do hate seeing blood and creating a mess."
Then Feng Yu's tone changed, as it was filled with a domineering tone, "First, Simon says kneel down in front of me."
Lin Fan looked at him with a hard gaze, but when Feng Yu just pointed to the three on the roof with a smile, Lin Fan clenched his fists and came forward. He arrived in front of Feng Yu and fell to one knee.
Feng Yu just smiled as he patted Lin Fan's cheek, "Now, now, that's not right. I said kneel, not fall to one knee. I'm sure you wouldn't want anything to happen to the hostages, right?"
Lin Fan looked right into his eyes and after three seconds, he fell down to both knees and his head came down.
Seeing this, his mother broke out in tears, while his father just firmly looked on. As for his little sister, there was a cold killing intent that filled her eyes.
Feng Yu broke out in laughter when he saw this, "Now that's the way to do it! You really are good at playing games!"
Then he stopped and he said, "Now, Simon says kowtow to me and apologize for killing my father. Then beg for me to release your family."
Lin Fan gritted his teeth with his head lowered, but still he fully brought his head down.
Once his head was on the ground, he said, "I'm sorry for killing Lord Feng. Please, please let my family go."
Feng Yu once again broke out in laughter and gave an applause, "Ha, ha, you really are great! You may call us shameless, but I don't think you would lose when compared to us!"
Then he came forward and stepped on Lin Fan's head, pressing it into the ground.
Lin Fan had his teeth gritted so hard that they were about to crack, but still he continued to hold on.
Once Feng Yu had enough of stepping on him, he took a step back and called for a servant to come over.
The servant quickly ran over with a large stick that was covered in wire, but based on the life energy that was coming from it, it wasn't just a normal stick and it wasn't just normal wire covering it. This was clearly some kind of artifact.
Feng Yu took the stick with both hands and said with a smile, "Well Simon says that you can get up."
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but still he got up. The moment he did, he understood why Feng Yu wanted him to get up.
Feng Yu then said, "Simon says, don't move and don't defend."
Just seven simple words, but they were filled with malice.
Lin Fan knew what was coming next, but still he also knew that he could take it.
Feng Yu came forward with a smile once again and raised the stick high above his head before bringing it down right on Lin Fan's shoulder.
Lin Fan's expression didn't change at all as he took that blow and based on the blood that came out, it really looked like it hurt. However, Feng Yu wasn't done yet.
As soon as the bat landed, the wires suddenly began twisting and with their sharp barbs, they dug into Lin Fan's skin, drawing out even more blood.
But even through all of that, Lin Fan's expression didn't change at all.
Feng Yu revealed an amused look, "Ho, ho, it seems like you're quite sturdy. I want to see how long you can keep that same expression on your face."
Then with that, he pulled back the stick once again and slammed it down on Lin Fan's head. But even after smashing Lin Fan's head, he didn't move at all as he continued to stand straight, looking right into Feng Yu's eyes.
Seeing those eyes that were filled with determination, the rage that burned inside Feng Yu began burning stronger and stronger. It became a wild fire that roared through the plains that was his heart, never ending as it consumed every single bit of it.
At first Feng Yu was quite calm, but after a few seconds of seeing Lin Fan stare right at him, he was consumed by his rage more and more until he began wildly swinging at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was completely covered in blood, but his back never bent and his gaze never changed. He just stood there like a statue, staring right into Feng Yu's eyes.
As this gaze continued to stare him down, there was a trace of fear that soon appeared inside Feng Yu's heart.
Lin Fan's brothers and friends couldn't stand watching this and most of them turned away during this. As for the allies of his brothers and friends, even they winced a bit when they saw this. But they were also filled with admiration for Lin Fan, since a man who was willing to go this far for his family was definitely not a bad person.
Even the Feng Family's allies almost couldn't stand watching this. They knew that they were the villains, but still they couldn't stand watching this kind of scene.
They were also touched by Lin Fan's display for his family. If only they could be allies with someone like that, they would have nothing to worry about.
Unfortunately they had already made their bed, so they had no choice but to lie in it.
Feng Yu continued to swing at Lin Fan again and again and each swing drew even more blood.
But every time, Lin Fan never wince, never backed down, he just took it all silently.
But as time passed, things had to change eventually.
After five minutes passed, Lin Fan suddenly grabbed Feng Yu's stick and roared out, "This ends now!"
