Chapter 271 The Stirrings of the Capital City's Shen Family
Chapter 271 The Stirrings of the Capital City's Shen Family
The Heavenly Banquet Hall exploded massively.
All the people from the Qin Family estate gathered here.
With so many people dead all at once, Shen Feng didn't want to constantly be bothered by flies, and besides, Lu Yang and Guo Liqiang still lacked the ability to protect themselves, so today's event must be properly concluded.
Of course, Shen Feng had the capability to kill everyone in the Qin Family estate, but he was not a heartless demon who killed without blinking an eye. In other words, he killed only those who deserved death.
Many of those who hadn't entered the banquet hall were just servants hired by the Qin Family to do chores like cleaning the estate.
Shen Feng had Qin Zhanyuan gather all the living people in the estate.
These people from the estate still didn't know what had transpired in the banquet hall earlier, and they naturally obeyed the orders of Qin Zhanyuan, a direct descendant of the Qin Family.
Lu Yang and the others had uncertain expressions on their faces, guessing whether Shen Feng would kill all of these people too.
Shen Feng looked at all the people who had gathered before him and spread out his Divine Sense.
While the power of Divine Sense couldn't compare to his peak state, his current Divine Sense was sufficient to do quite a bit on ordinary people.
His Divine Sense quickly entered the minds of these people, intending to use his Divine Sense to fabricate a segment of memory for them, making them forget that they had ever come here. This method wouldn't cause any harm to their brains or bodies.
After Divine Sense entered their brains, their eyelids began to fight a battle, overcome by an intense desire to sleep. Finally, they stood there, closing their eyes and falling asleep.
Shen Feng implanted a segment of memory in their minds, making them all believe today's explosion was an accident, then he erased some memories that needed to be wiped away.
The Divine Sense truly couldn't compare to his peak state; as Shen Feng implanted the memories, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a while, he slowly exhaled and said, "Alright, don't look at me with those eyes. Did you think I'm a bloodthirsty killer? I merely altered their memories a bit to prevent future troubles for you."
"These people will wake up in three minutes, let's leave this place!"
After all, people like Guo Liqiang all had families, and Shen Feng alone could not protect them all.
Hearing Shen Feng's words, Lu Yang and the others didn't know what to say. Could Shen Feng actually alter a person's original memories? Recalling what had happened earlier in the banquet hall, was there anything in this world that Shen Feng couldn't do?

"Old Fourth, you wouldn't have received the legacy of some Immortal, would you?" Qiao Zimo swallowed nervously and cautiously asked.
Shen Feng patted Qiao Zimo's shoulder. "I'll explain to you later; just remember, we'll always be brothers. As long as you're willing, I will help you reach the peak of life."
Lu Yang and the others could feel the sincerity in Shen Feng's tone, and seeing Old Fourth still treated them as brothers, they relaxed quite a bit, though they couldn't immediately switch their emotions.
Qin Zhanyuan spoke more respectfully, "Master, you and your friends go ahead. We'll stay behind as witnesses, and no one will know you were here."
Yan Xinyi, Sun Antong, and Luo Jiande, among others, also insisted on staying. With their testimonies, it would likely be more believable that it was an accident.
In the end, Ji Yunhan, Cheng Ruyun and others also chose to stay; they wanted to help Shen Feng completely cover up today's events.
Shen Feng looked at Cheng Ruyun and said, "You can come to see me tomorrow, and I'll help you get rid of the lump in your stomach."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ruyun, whose heartbeat had yet to settle, immediately expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Master. Thank you for being willing to treat me."
Seeing how Qin Zhanyuan and the others addressed him, she followed suit.
Since Ji Yunhan and the others all intended to stay as witnesses, only Shen Feng and Lu Yang and their group left the Qin Family estate.
As they walked out of the Qin Family estate, since it was distant from the bustling city, the relevant authorities hadn't arrived immediately.
Lu Yang and Guo Liqiang couldn't help but look back once more at the now ruined Heavenly Banquet Hall from afar.
The mighty Qin Family, an Overlord-level family of Tianhai, just ended like this! All of this felt like a dream!
Fortune changes, what's here today may be gone tomorrow—do not underestimate the young and poor!
This saying is quite true, today's fourth brother is no longer the poor kid who was bullied by others.
Shen Feng looked at Lu Yang and the others and said, "Second brother, do you want to possess great strength?"
"So much has happened today, I know you need some time to digest it all. There's no need to rush your answer, go back and get a good night's rest."
Lu Yang and the others were instantly excited, they understood the implication in the fourth brother's words—could it be that they too could possess some miraculous abilities in the future?
They really did not know how to respond at the moment, indeed too much had happened today, such that their minds were overwhelmed.
Afterward, they chose a deserted path to leave.
Upon returning to the urban area of Tianhai, Shen Feng temporarily parted ways with Lu Yang and the others.
Meanwhile.
As news of the Qin Family estate's incident spread, it undoubtedly caused an immense earthquake for Tianhai.
This time, not only did nearly all of the direct descendants of the Qin Family and Yan Family perish, but those who attended the banquet were all from Tianhai's upper echelons! The entire Tianhai was in chaos, with the stocks of numerous listed companies plummeting relentlessly.
Time slowly passed.
Nightfall began to descend.
In a dimly lit room in the Capital City.
A middle-aged man sat on a wooden chair, his left cheek concealed by a mask, his eyes exuding a terrifying coldness, and his hands covered in horrific scars, as if they had been through thousand cuts.
The room's light was not turned on; the middle-aged man seemed to enjoy this sense of darkness.
On the table in front of him, there lay a photograph and a dossier.
The photograph was notably of Shen Feng from his university days. He picked up the photograph, a disturbing smile forming on his lips as he muttered, "Shen Feng? The Shen Family has never made a wrong decision, and this time is no exception."
"Just a discarded pawn we threw away, you shouldn't be jumping around so vigorously. Don't you know how eyesore you are becoming?"
As he spoke.
The middle-aged man flicked his wrist holding the photograph, and with a "whoosh!" the photograph was thrust into the surface of the table at the bottom right corner.
Observing Shen Feng's likeness on the photograph, the middle-aged man took out a lighter, brought it close, and soon the photograph started burning in the air.
The smile on the man's face grew more and more intense, to the point where his entire mouth was contorted with laughter.
Just at that moment.
A Shadow Man entered the dark room.
The middle-aged man asked, "Regarding this discarded pawn, has the old man and my big brother been informed already?"
His voice was hoarse, as if he was speaking with a throat that had been shouted raw.
