Lin Feng became busy, which was the busiest moment since he arrived in the Marvel universe.
However, it was precisely because of this busyness that the power under Lin Feng's command became more solid.
The dwarf from the seventh force was still causing trouble.
But with Lin Feng's orders, they didn't gain any advantage, and some of their vanguard was lost.
The dwarf and Joseph also understood.
This Shanhai was completely unafraid of war and had no worries at all.
However, these little bits of harassment also made Lin Feng lose some patience.
They were all top combatants, so if there were any conflicts, why not fight it out? It was boring to always engage in such superficial probing!
Immediately, Lin Feng summoned Li Xieqian and the other four to the central hall for a meeting.
Li Xieqian and the other four gathered at the main planet.
At this moment, Li Xieqian had a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Lin Feng had already given a heads-up in the terminal, stating that they were here to discuss the seventh force's harassment of their own force.
This made Li Xieqian think that their counterattacks were too excessive, angering Shanhai.
But, it was Shanhai who said they were not afraid of things escalating!
He didn't seem to have escalated things too much.
"Why overthink it? We'll know when we go in and ask!"
Hana rolled her eyes impatiently.
She had been having a great time lately. Perhaps because she was a woman, more black-robed individuals sought her out for trouble than the others.
Hana didn't mind the trouble; to her, these people were all walking money bags!
Li Xieqian felt that Hana was right. If it was meant to happen, it would happen, and if it was misfortune, it couldn't be avoided. So, he led the five of them directly to the conference room.
"Lord Shanhai!"
"Mhm, sit!" Lin Feng appeared calm and gestured to the five seats opposite him.
Now that he was the leader, he had to put on airs in front of them.
Yeah, this feeling was great. Perhaps this was the mindset of the leaders Lin Feng faced before his transmigration!
The five sat down respectfully.
They had been full of spirit just a moment ago, but despite their bold words, in front of Lin Feng, they were all well-behaved!
"How has the seventh force been lately? Have they shown any signs of restraint?"
Uh...
The five looked at each other.
Finally, Li Xieqian braced himself and answered.
"They've become even more brazen..."
"Although we took some measures to stop them, they didn't seem to have much effect."
"And..." a trace of worry flashed in Li Xieqian's eyes.
"And we discovered black robes who are suspected to be from the third force, mixed in with the seventh force, coming to cause trouble together..."
"Oh?" Lin Feng pondered.
Alright, it wasn't entirely without progress as he had thought. It seemed Joseph was also getting impatient and was starting to probe?
But was this kind of probing a bit too childish? Wouldn't it be better to directly declare a force war on him?
"Old Li, what measures did you take to stop them?"
Lin Feng asked indifferently, and sweat immediately broke out on Li Xieqian's forehead.
"Uh, well, for those who caused serious harassment, casualties, and widespread damage, we dealt with them on the spot. For those who weren't as severe, we just beat them up and sent them back..."
Li Xieqian now felt that perhaps he had gone too far. Had he misunderstood Shanhai's intentions back then?
"We did the same... basically, for the more severe ones, we just killed them. For the less severe ones, uh..."
Hana chimed in, a hint of embarrassment on her face as she spoke.
"For the less severe ones, we extorted them and then let them go..." Hana's voice grew smaller towards the end.
After hesitating for a moment, she still didn't hide the fact that they had extorted them.
This was also the reason why Hana was so happy when people came looking for trouble.
Whether the other party was alive or dead, Hana could always get some benefits from them.
Although the items an individual carried might not be much, they added up!
Li Xieqian glanced at her, as if wondering why he hadn't thought of this tactic.
The others behind him echoed, saying that their operations were similar.
They had all coordinated with each other, which meant that if Lin Feng were to hold them accountable, it would be easier for the five of them to share the blame.
Lin Feng listened and shook his head.
Too conservative, still too conservative!
Seeing Lin Feng shake his head, Old Li's heart sank. He couldn't understand it.
However, the five had come prepared to be scolded.
Hana even thought that at worst, she could just return the extorted items, though she would feel a bit pained.
Lin Feng sighed, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
"Old Li, you still haven't fully understood what I meant back then!"
Li Xieqian's head was almost bowed to the table.
"I have disappointed Lord Shanhai..."
Lin Feng nodded.
"That's right, you have indeed disappointed me!"
"Didn't I tell you to counterattack and kill without restraint? Why would there be anyone you let go?"
Li Xieqian lowered his head even further.
"Yes, yes, Lord Shanhai, we will definitely pay attention to holding back..."
Huh? What?
Li Xieqian paused, then rubbed his ears.
Had he misheard? Shanhai didn't seem to be blaming them for being too excessive, but rather for not doing enough?
Hana stared at Lin Feng blankly.
Lin Feng, as if frustrated by their lack of progress, slapped the table!
"What did I say back then? Kill without restraint!"
"Anyone who dares to harass our force, regardless of the severity, chop them all up, thoroughly!"
"Now, I clearly tell you, strike them with heavy blows, never to return! Do you understand?!"
The word "kill" uttered by Lin Feng fell like a thousand-pound stone onto the hearts of the five.
Good heavens, was his killing intent so strong?!
Hana licked her lips, "I understand! Not a single one will be spared, right!"
Lin Feng looked at her.
"Yes! Not a single one will be left!"
"However, regarding Hana's act of extortion, that description is not entirely correct..."
Hana's smile froze on her face.
But before she could think further, Lin Feng continued.
"In my opinion, the word 'extortion' is completely wrong!"
"What is extortion? This is clearly compensation for their harassment!"
"Compensation, do you understand?!"
"Use their lives and assets to compensate for our losses, to pay for their actions, do you understand what I'm saying?!"
Hana's embarrassment lasted for only two seconds before her eyes lit up with stars at these words.
She shouldn't have misunderstood the boss's intentions!
If you ask her how she feels now, it's that working with this Shanhai is too awesome!
The former Jin. Henry would have likely turned into a timid turtle in the current situation!
There's no harm without comparison. Having witnessed Lin Feng's methods, Hana exclaimed, "Why didn't I meet Lin Feng sooner!"
