Hedonist Sovereign

chapter-239
"Acropolis City's Number One Hedonistic Young Master, Young Master Qin, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. But now that I've seen you, I'm extremely disappointed. This Acropolis is indeed a small pond compared to the capital. Someone like you can be the Number One Young Master? That makes me laugh my teeth out." Liang Yu openly taunted Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's expression didn't change. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "No matter how small Acropolis City is and even if I, Young Master Qin, am useless in the eyes of you young masters of the capital, you still came to Acropolis. And aren't you trying to compete with me for Zhao Ling Xian? …I can tell you with much certainty that Ling Xian will be my woman in the end. You can't compare to me!"
Qin Feng's words were calm and nonchalant, as if he was stating a fact. Liang Yu was so angry that his expression became stormy and he harrumphed coldly.
"Hmph, it isn't up to you. We have to see what Ling Xian wants… Did you not see that Princess Ling Xian isn't fond of you and is hosting me very well?"
"That's because Little Sister Ling Xian and I got into a small argument and she's intentionally trying to get me mad. To be honest, you're just a tool Little Sister Ling Xian is using to get me mad." Qin Feng didn't exhibit any weakness."You…" Liang Yu felt a mouthful of blood gushing up to his mouth. He was so angry that he almost spat blood.
He was the Capital's Liang family's eldest son, yet he was called a tool by Qin Feng.
"Don't be so pleased with yourself too early; I came to the Zhao residence to propose. This time, I believe both Uncle Zhao and Ling Xian will agree."
"Haha, if you have the guts to do that, I wouldn't mind leaving you in Acropolis forever," said Qin Feng coldly.
In the face of Qin Feng's strength, Liang Yu wasn't angry. He suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha… Qin Feng, oh, Qin Feng, you think I don't know how my second brother, Liang Zhen Wei, and my third brother, Liang Sheng, died? They were both killed after coming to the Zhao residence to propose. I sent people to secretly investigate right from the beginning, and found that they were killed by you."
Liang Yu laughed coldly as he looked at Qin Feng. "Right now, the Capital's Liang family elders are all discussing how to deal with you. You should worry about your own life first."You want to kill me? Hmph, I purposely brought four external experts with me, so don't be delusional."
After hearing Liang Yu's words, Qin Feng's expression changed drastically.
He knew that the Liang family would thoroughly investigate the situation after Liang Sheng and Liang Zhen Wei died. However, Qin Feng hadn't left any trace after killing the two people, so he was surprised that the Liang family members suspected him. Liang Yu was clearly prepared, so it wasn't really possible to eliminate him without anyone knowing.
"Haha, weren't you very confident at first? Why aren't you saying anything?" Liang Yu smiled with more self-satisfaction when he saw Qin Feng's expression fall.
He switched the topic and suddenly said to him, "Qin Feng, I can give you a chance and make the Capital's Liang family let you off."
Qin Feng currently had too many hidden enemies, and he very seldomly used the Qin family's power. Most of the time, he resolved problems on his own. At his current Stage Three External and Stage Two Internal abilities, the Capital's enormous Liang family was still a force to reckon with.
Thus, unless it was the last resort, Qin Feng didn't want to ruin their relationship right now.
"Young Master Liang, you'd be that thoughtful?" Qin Feng asked cautiously after an instant of deep consideration.
"Haha…of course I wouldn't randomly help you; you'd have to agree to one of my terms." Before coming to Acropolis, Liang Yu had researched how his two younger brothers died. He'd researched information about Qin Feng and his relationship with Zhao Ling Xian in particular.
Liang Yu discovered through the research that Zhao Ling Xian liked Qin Feng, while Qin Feng wasn't willing to marry her. He also found that his two younger brothers were assassinated by Qin Feng because they came to the Zhao residence to propose.
"I know you're the Number One Dissolute Young Master in Acropolis. A hedonistic young master like you isn't lacking in women, so why would you offend me over one Zhao Ling Xian?"
Liang Yu smiled and looked at Qin Feng. He said, "So, before coming to the Zhao residence to propose, I thought of a solution where we could both benefit. Just don't interfere with my marriage with Zhao Ling Xian and I can agree to not let the Capital's Liang family deal with you."
"Why would I trust you?" Qin Feng said, "The Capital's Liang family is so large that your words probably aren't of consequence."
"My words aren't enough to speak for the Capital's Liang family in its entirety, but I'm the eldest grandson of the Liang family in the direct line of descent, so the elders listen to my suggestions.
"To tell the truth, by killing my two younger brothers, who had inheritance rights, you've made me the sole heir of the Capital's Liang family and I'm actually thankful for you… The Capital's Liang family will become mine sooner or later, so I don't want to fight with your Qin family because it would harm my personal strength and wealth." Liang Yu presented his thoughts to Qin Feng in detail.
"I don't think it's worth it to become enemies with your Qin family over my two younger brothers who I deem insignificant. I've made myself quite clear, so you should believe me now."
This Liang Yu was vicious and merciless. In order to be the heir, he cared nothing about brotherhood. He also came prepared. An opponent like this wasn't easy to deal with.
Qin Feng nodded and said, "You've definitely cleared up the matter, Young Master Liang."
"Then are you willing to work with me, Young Master Qin?" Liang Yu said, "Just don't participate in matters regarding my marriage with Zhao Ling Xian and I'll assure you that the Capital's Liang family won't trouble you."
Qin Feng was quiet, and his brain was in the midst of quickly thinking of countermeasures.
He still had a System quest regarding the Capital's Liang family where he had to eliminate all of the Capital's Liang family's forces in three months. The reward was 20,000 Hedonist Points.
This quest had too generous a reward, which emphasized the difficulty of the quest. Now that the situation had progressed to this stage, Qin Feng could first pretend and agree to work with Liang Yu. Then, when the Liang family relaxed their guard toward him, he'd think of a way to annihilate the Capital's Liang family.
