Master of the End Times

Chapter 917: Out to Get Sage Fruit Again

Fire Phoenix did not know what Qin Feng was thinking and quickly went on to talk about the profitable projects in the Dark Citadel.

In the end, she hesitated and said, “There’s another place, there is a spatial rift on a lone island, last time the city- the Sword Demon often went there, and even suffered a serious injury from there once. I don’t know what’s in there.”

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up, knowing that this must be the Aether Realm.

Fire Phoenix finished explaining everything and looked at Qin Feng, as if waiting for him to start making arrangements.

“Then, take me around for a look. Oh, also!” As if thinking of something, Qin Feng looked over at Fateless. “Last time, someone useless was in charge of business, now it’s your responsibility. I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

Qin Feng’s words were pointed, obviously, this was a threat.

Large beads of sweat appeared on his already pale face, but he let out a sigh. At least for now he would be safe.

“Master Black Alp, I will do the best in everything you’ve assigned me!”

“I sure hope so,” Qin Feng smirked.

He then turned to Fire Phoenix, in which she immediately understood what he meant. She then took the front, obviously taking Qin Feng to see those properties.

The remaining seven aptitude users did not dare make any sudden noises, bowing down respectfully and lowering their heads, and were too afraid to even look at Qin Feng’s back. Only when he had completely exited the room did these people dare raise their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

There was a pungent smell filling the air. After all, five people died here, but the atmosphere earlier was so tense that they all automatically ignored it.

However, even at this time there was still a lingering fear.

“That was terrifying, just what kind of a person was that?” An aptitude user asked.

“No matter where he’s from, better we don’t provoke him.”

“Good thing we didn’t create any trouble earlier or else we would be dead by now.”

“Fateless, looks like the Black Alp Overlord is optimistic enough about you that he gave you a job to do!”

Fateless did not think this was optimism. He thought that this was a threat. The Black Alp Overlord was too terrifying. Dealing with such a person was like trying to skin a tiger.

Perhaps saying that the regal ones were unpredictable was more appropriate.

“To be honest, the Black Alp Overlord is more terrifying than I imagined!” Fateless reminded the others.

These people realized that Fateless had the wits scared out of him, just like they were. As such, they all just nodded.

Fateless thought for a moment. Since the Black Alp Overlord had given Fire Phoenix full authority to act in Dark Citadel, he would not be given the duties of the other five dead people. The only purpose of him having done this was for checks and balances.

If the other party only trusted Fire Phoenix, Fateless thought that this was only a self-serving, powerful individual with no management skills.

Trying to pull some tricks on a person like that might just work, but now that the Black Alp Overlord had proven to be more unpredictable than imagined, Fateless would not dare try anything and kept his little tricks to himself.

Compared to the people who feared Qin Feng, Fire Phoenix had admiration and appreciation for him.

If it were not for him, it would not just be the things that were messed up today. There might have been people conspiring against Fire Phoenix and she would have ended up dead.

“Master Black Alp, this is the Ancient!”

Qin Feng looked at the unchanged Ancient and exclaimed, “This is indeed valuable.”

At this time, it was almost evening time. The sky was getting a little dark and the Ancient was already emitting a faint glow.

He closed his eyes and started meditating.

Meditation did not specifically require one to sit down cross-legged, he only spun his ability crystal core a few times. Due to the subtlety of his actions and his consciousness being more powerful that Fire Phoenix, she only felt a mysterious aura emanating from him.

In the next moment, the Ancient exuded a shining white light, far stronger than before, even the fruit on it was shining.

A crystalline fruit fell from the branches with a ‘pop’ and lowered itself down in front of Qin Feng’s eyes.

Fire Phoenix opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

She then quickly regained composure, the Black Alp Overlord was an S-tier powerhouse after all and must be a person with great luck. Otherwise, how would he be rewarded with the fruit in such a short amount of time under the Ancient.

They said seeing was believing and after seeing this, her admiration for the Black Alp Overlord grew deeper.

Qin Feng looked at the fruit in front of him and reached out to pluck it out of the air. He was also very surprised but he kept it to himself. Nodding, he said, “Not bad!”

Putting away the fruit as he spoke, he did not expect that he would actually obtain another Wisdom Fruit.

This meant that there would be another diamond ability core in his consciousness and he would have another ability to master.

This was indeed very good.

Fire Phoenix did not know what Qin Feng’s thoughts were, only seeing how indifferent he was as he put the fruit away. She felt that the Black Alp Overlord was not any ordinary person and had more respect for him.

“Onward to the next place!”

Fire Phoenix took Qin Feng to look at the other properties. That being said, as a strong person having been around for so long, He Tianxing’s assets were shocking.

If Qin Feng was not the head of the Fengli Organization and knew the huge amount of wealth that the technology it produced brought, he would be ecstatic now.

He Tianxing’s wealth was ten times that of the Fengli Organization’s current state. After all, the Fengli Organization had only been around for three years, it took time to accumulate capital.

“We will call it a day! Tomorrow, you’ll take me to go see that rift!”

“Yes, Sir!” Fire Phoenix curtly replied, “Sir, are you ready for some rest? I’ve already arranged a place to stay, it’s a newly established manor.”

“Hmm!” Qin Feng nodded without saying another word. Fire Phoenix was indeed an excellent subordinate. When it came to this aspect, plenty of Qin Feng’s subordinates had good judgment.

Fire Phoenix quickly took Qin Feng to the newly established manor. There was good scenery, beautiful architecture, great food, beautiful women, everything one would want.

“I don’t like crowds, tell these people to leave! You can leave now too!”

Qin Feng was still wearing a dark helmet after all. If there were people around he would still have to keep his Dark Shroud up and he did not want to keep this up all the time.

“Yes, Sir!”

Fire Phoenix complied with his wishes, thinking that this was a powerful man who was not a lustful individual. She felt fortunate, but at the same time a little regretful.

After Fire Phoenix left, Qin Feng unfolded his cloak. Draped over one of his arms was a small fox. That was why Qin Feng only used one finger to kill people.

The little fox in his arms yawned, stretched its back, shook its body for a quick moment before jumping off.

In an instant, it assumed a human form.

“There are so many treasures here!”

“I didn’t expect that he would own so many things! I already took them, do you want to absorb them now?”

The treasure that Bai Li and Qin Feng were talking about was the A-tier beast deity crystal core.
