Chapter 74: The Greedy Perish [Third Update, Recommendation Votes]

Luffy felt the softness pressed against his back, accompanied by a delicate fragrance wafting through the air—it was truly exquisite. Women were indeed mysterious creatures, their allure drawing men irresistibly.

Zhao Li Ying, upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, immediately withdrew her hands from Luffy’s waist, her face flushed as she stepped back several paces, shooting Qin Feng a fierce glare.

“Is this kid really your leader? Are you women blind? He’s just a child, only at the third tier, and you call him your leader? Am I dreaming? Someone wake me up, quick.”

The man at the front threw his head back and laughed wildly, unable to believe such a ridiculous situation—a famous actress, a national goddess, recognizing a brat as her boss. It was beyond comprehension; had they all gone mad?

“Hahahahaha...”

The leader’s laughter grew manic, echoing as he collapsed to the ground, still laughing.

Qin Feng stood bewildered, his expression dumbfounded, utterly at a loss.

This guy’s sense of humor is way too low, he thought.

“Kid, you’d better get lost!”

He knew the boy must have some trump card; otherwise, Zhao Li Ying wouldn’t call him their leader.

He didn’t want to waste time. Just get rid of this kid and be done with it.

“Are you stupid? Why would I leave? You lot should get lost, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, you’ll die horribly.”

Luffy’s gaze turned cold as he looked at them, causing the leader to pause in surprise. He hadn’t expected the boy’s aura to be so domineering, making him feel as if he were standing before a king. It was absurd, but how could this be?

“If you won’t leave, you’ll die right here.”

The man felt the boy’s presence was too overwhelming. Surely he was imagining things. Yes, it was an illusion. Eliminating him would be a matter of moments.

“Get him! Let him know what happens when you cross us. Kill him, and then we’ll take these women back to enjoy ourselves.”

“Yes, sir!”

Seven men charged at Luffy.

“Is he really capable? He’s so young, so small,” whispered Yang Mi, Zhao Li Ying’s best friend, her voice tinged with fear and worry.

“Of course he is,” Zhao Li Ying replied firmly. “To Luffy, these men are nothing but small fry. He could wipe them out with a single finger. You don’t know how powerful he is. He slew a sixth-tier zombie with one sword strike.”

She had seen it with her own eyes and trusted Luffy completely. No matter how formidable the enemy, he could defeat them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made it safely to the secure zone.

“Really?”

Yang Mi, with her short hair, oval face, elegant brows, and a figure boasting at least a thirty-five D bust, a slender waist, and long legs, stood tall and exuded a heroic charm—so different from Zhao Li Ying’s style.

“Absolutely,” Zhao Li Ying replied earnestly.

Facing the seven attackers, Luffy remained calm and indifferent. His strength was overwhelming; he regarded these men as insects. He raised his hand and unleashed his dragon aura.

The force engulfed the seven men.

They had thought that a single punch from each of them would be enough to cripple the boy, easily picturing the scene of his miserable defeat.

But they hadn’t expected him to be so formidable, so powerful. With just a flick of his hand, their bodies ignited, as if gasoline met fire. No matter how they writhed, the flames wouldn’t extinguish.

Their agony was immense, faces contorted, screams echoing madly, but nothing could save them. In the end, they were reduced to ashes. The dragon aura combined with fire was truly domineering.

The leader gasped, swallowing hard. How could this be? How could the boy be so strong? He was utterly stunned.

This boy was only at the third tier, yet with one move he annihilated his seven men. Was he playing the fool to hide his strength?

“Damn, how did I not see it?”

The leader was overwhelmed with shock and regret, stumbling backward.

Qin Feng, too, was struck dumb. How could this boy be so terrifying? Hadn’t they said he was only at the third tier? How did he destroy seven men so effortlessly?

He was unbelievably powerful. How did he do it? How strong was he really?

Qin Feng was completely bewildered; his hand holding the gun trembled, the black muzzle pointing at Luffy. He was terrified—terrified of this boy who seemed to disguise his true strength. He needed to escape, or he would surely die.

“Wow... Amazing, so handsome,” Yang Mi exclaimed, her eyes wide and sparkling like stars.

She hadn’t expected Zhao Li Ying’s leader to be so formidable—a single gesture and the seven men were obliterated. It was astonishing.

Who was he, really?

Her curiosity was piqued.

Zhao Li Ying, too, was utterly enamored.

Luffy’s strength exceeded her imagination. Moments ago, she had fought desperately and failed to defeat them, but Luffy needed only a flick of his hand to kill nearly all of them.

“Our boss is incredible,” Hua Qian Yu chimed in, her expression adoring, full of admiration.

“You bastard, all you do is show off—go die!”

Qin Feng roared, his anger overwhelming, firing repeatedly at Luffy.

Bang! Bang!

Sparks flew from the black barrel.

Qin Feng’s face twisted, becoming monstrous with rage and disbelief that he couldn’t kill this show-off.

“He’s shooting! Be careful!”

Yang Mi cried out in alarm.

“It’s fine. He’s so strong—even a submachine gun couldn’t harm him. What do you think a pistol could do?”

Zhao Li Ying said confidently.

“Oh!”

Yang Mi nodded.

Luffy raised his hand, dragon aura swirling around him. The bullets stopped in midair, floating before his hand.

It was a wondrous sight.

The leader gasped, fear gripping him. What kind of power was this? It was terrifying, beyond human. His eyes widened, mouth agape, shivering in fright.

Qin Feng, too, stood frozen, mouth wide open, eyes nearly bursting, face twisted in terror, snot even dripping into his mouth unnoticed as he emitted a dreadful, wordless cry.

“I saw you work with Zhao Li Ying before, but she never liked you. Today, you’ll die,”

Luffy declared in a low voice. The bullets floating before his hand shot toward Qin Feng with a swift hiss, piercing him and embedding in the wall.

Blood splattered.

Qin Feng’s eyes rolled back as he collapsed.

“You said you’re under Young Master Wang. I’ll spare your life—go tell him,”

Luffy said, and with a surge of inner strength, sent dragon aura into the leader’s body, granting him half an hour to live. When he returned to the Wang family, flames would consume him, burning him to ashes.

Young Master Wang was too greedy—he must die.

Reward, reward, reward
