Chapter 663 - 320: A Monumental Scandal (Part 3)

"Do you have any objections to what I said? Do you realize that your previous actions were courting death? Slandering and insulting a hero admiral who barely escaped death will earn you the condemnation and reproach of the entire Alliance... Madam, think carefully before you speak or act, understand?" The captain appeared to be the embodiment of justice, as if he were a defender of righteousness.

After this veiled warning was delivered, the woman shut her mouth and, after some hesitation, stood by her husband’s side, feeling wronged in her heart. But she didn’t know, if this matter really escalated as Yu Feng was making it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, it wasn’t concern for Yu Feng’s safety, but rather Yu Feng’s current special status. If he confronted others, the public would undoubtedly side with him because he is a hero returned from disappearance and currently in a weak position.

The public always subconsciously sympathizes with the weak. Those two important figures have made some mistakes in recent years, and if this matter really blows up, Yu Feng might get dragged down, but the reputation, future, and current status of those two important figures would be ruined!

More importantly, even if Yu Feng were to be dragged down, given his past achievements and status, he wouldn’t be completely defeated. So, it would be a total loss. That captain wasn’t a fool and naturally understood the complexities involved.

Thinking about it now, Yu Feng must have expected them to be cautious and hence played what seemed to be a simple but actually trap-laden foolish move. Whether the move is foolish or not doesn’t matter, as long as it’s effective... Thinking of this, the man almost crushed his teeth in frustration. Now that Yu Feng is more cautious, it won’t be so easy to trouble him next time.

"Oh? So this is the truth, is it? In that case... please, both of you take your daughter away, so as not to embarrass yourselves and disrupt the atmosphere here." Yu Feng, under the captain’s watchful eye, put away two documents. "I’ll hold onto these for now."

The captain gritted his teeth in silence and finally held back, snorted angrily, and left. The crisp sound of his shoes hitting the ground was noticeable, even for a blind person, as it reflected his current displeasure.

"Ladies and gentlemen... not seeing you off!" Yu Feng raised his hand in a cute little wave gesture. His serious expression combined with a mischievous voice and a cute action made people resentful, wanting to drag him out and give him a good beating.

"Finally, the annoying people have left." Once Su Jiameng saw they were gone, she relaxed her straight posture and lazily leaned against the desk, speaking to Yu Feng, "Although I know the model of the Plane Alliance is far different from what I knew, some things are still clear. Your existence is already a threat to many people..."

In Su Jiameng’s second life, while the Human Alliance in that plane also had family legacies, their threat to the Alliance’s power wasn’t significant. Coupled with the Insect Race threat, where even personal safety was at stake, naturally, everyone was more focused on survival, not caring about various conflicts?

Various powers had unwritten tacit agreements, aligned against external threats, resolving internal conflicts privately without escalation; the environment was relatively harmonious. In the third life’s plane, aristocratic families had some influence on the Alliance’s power but couldn’t dictate it. Yet in this plane, it was purely a struggle amongst the aristocratic families...

Yu Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "I’ve been mentally prepared for these scenarios. After all, I am someone who has survived through thick and thin. My status isn’t something that mere phantoms can easily shake. Don’t forget, I’m also a Plane Merchant. Even if I can’t beat them, my life is safe. But... the Insect Race remains undefeated, and the Divine’s Remnant Clan is watching us closely..."

His voice carried a hint of melancholy, a tinge of lament, "As for internal strife, I can accompany them entirely. I just hope they don’t play too hard, giving these two forces an opportunity. Given the Insect Race’s capabilities, resurging from the ashes isn’t unprecedented. The Divine’s Remnant Clan mostly consists of autonomous intelligent robots, superior to the Human Alliance in every aspect..."

At this point, Yu Feng added with self-deprecation, "Don’t take what I said to mean that I’m someone noble and righteous for the sake of survival... Such words would make me feel undeserved."

Su Jiameng gave him a sidelong glance and chuckled, "Only a fool would think that, can a truly pure and righteous person make it to the admiral position? Are you insulting my intelligence? As you mentioned before, being a Plane Merchant, what isn’t within your capability in this world? Because you hold the key to a vast treasure, you’re not bothered by those scrambling for petty things..."

Because of what Yu Feng possesses, it’s enough to help him resist all external temptations, so he’s not solely fixated on trivial interests but instead sees the world from a broader perspective.

So when others are concerned about their little piece of territory, he’s thinking of how to turn the current battle situation with all his might. Without the Plane Store, the Yu Feng she sees might prioritize greater good, but he would invariably chase after profit, slightly altering his essence.

"Well, your crisis has temporarily passed, now... shall we speak of other matters?" Su Jiameng crossed her arms, looking into his eyes, "You said before that you have a way to help me, what way is it?"

Upon mentioning this, Yu Feng’s expression relaxed considerably, revealing a method that made Su Jiameng’s face turn red and white, finally fixed in an ashen hue!

In the end, Yu Feng watched Su Jiameng’s fiery departing back, raising his hand to his forehead to cover a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.
