Chapter 268
Sensation
Sage Nihelu's forehead beaded with sweat. The terrifying, brutal killing intent in the newcomer's eyes, that sharp, icy, heart-stopping gaze, was exactly like the Golden Horned Beast's eyes during the global live broadcast, which had terrified all of humanity!
Sage forced a smile. “Luo… Mr. Luo Feng, you’re actually alive. This is simply—”
“There are many scumbags in the world, but to be a scumbag to your extent—” Luo Feng’s gaze turned cold. Instantly, a wisp of psychic energy, invisible to the naked eye, pierced directly into Sage’s sea of consciousness like a sharp needle. The miniature planet within Sage’s sea of consciousness shattered like fragile tofu!
Boom!
Sage’s eyes widened in terror, then he collapsed to the ground.
Luo Feng cast a glance at Sage’s corpse on the ground, then his body flickered and he vanished from the doorway.
…
High in the sky.
Luo Feng, standing on his Duntiansuo, transformed into a streak of light and flew towards America.
From birth until now, Luo Feng was not a soft-hearted person, nor was he a hero who championed justice! It was just… he had his own bottom line! There were many scumbags in this world, and Luo Feng wouldn’t suddenly feel a burst of righteousness to punish every single one. After all, where there is light, there is darkness.
However, what infuriated Luo Feng most about the factions led by Atkin, Sage Nihelu, and Yan Hai was their actions—either threatening or openly plundering the families left behind by several heroes.
“Mohanderson, Easter, Telipati Xinge, Jia Yi, Suokeluofu, you died gloriously.”
“But these three bastards won’t even let you rest in peace after death. I will not allow it!”
Luo Feng’s gaze swept towards America across the ocean. According to Babata’s global network surveillance, Atkin was currently in Washington Base City, America!
…
In Washington Base City, due to the time difference, it was deep into the night.
A luxurious car was parked by the street.
“He’s here!” Atkin’s eyes widened as he heard the voice from the phone in the car.
“This is bad, Luo Feng really isn’t dead, he really came back!” Cold sweat broke out on Atkin’s forehead, and thoughts raced through his mind. Without a doubt, Luo Feng had first killed Yan Hai, and now he must have gone to kill Sage Nihelu. The next target would probably be Atkin himself.
“What do I do, what do I do?”
“This Luo Feng is ruthless, and his strength is immense!” The more Atkin thought, the more anxious he became, sweat pouring from his forehead and back.
Panic!
Every thought led to a dead end!
“Rush to Luo Feng’s house and take his family hostage? No, his house has a metal robot that can stop me. And it’s too far from America to Huaxia Nation; my speed isn’t as fast as Luo Feng’s, I’d definitely be intercepted midway!” Atkin considered many methods, then quickly rejected each one.
“No way to heaven, no door to hell. Earth is only so big, with Luo Feng’s abilities, I have nowhere to hide!!!”
Atkin gritted his teeth. “This is the only way!”
Immediately, Atkin picked up his phone and quickly dialed: “Gather all the important media in Washington Base City immediately, at the fastest speed! And through our HR Alliance, notify the media in all Base Cities worldwide…”
…
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Earth’s number one figure, Atkin, the Chairman of the HR Alliance, began his struggle for survival!
…
In Washington Base City’s largest square, Freedom Plaza, news media vehicles arrived one after another in the dead of night. The high-decibel broadcasts woke up many American citizens from their sleep. When they saw the large screen in Freedom Plaza light up, and the numerous vehicles around, many people were drawn downstairs.
“The Chairman of the HR Alliance Council is about to announce world-shaking news.”
“In the next moment, the world will surely be shaken.”
“Yes, don’t doubt it. The Chairman of the HR Alliance Council, currently the world’s strongest individual! He is about to publicly announce a major piece of news.”
“…”
Various media outlets immediately began reporting.
And on the large screen in Freedom Plaza, scenes of ‘Hong, Lei Shen, and the Devouring Beast’s final battle’ appeared, as well as the ‘six heroes entering the sea’ from back then, and detailed introductions of each of the eight heroes.
“Why are they showing the deeds of the eight heroes on screen? Is the announcement related to them?”
“Could it be that Hong and Lei Shen, who were in a vegetative state, have awakened?”
First, a large number of residents from the high-rise residential districts surrounding the plaza came downstairs and gathered around.
…
Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa—the HR Alliance had influence everywhere, even directly controlling some media outlets. And today, Atkin, desperate, spent a fortune to get other media outlets to broadcast simultaneously across the globe!
Pop-up windows appeared on various portal websites.
It was night in America at this moment!
However, in the European Union, it was morning. In Huaxia Nation and India, it was the hottest part of the day.
The live broadcast, covering television and the internet, instantly informed countless people worldwide.
“What’s going on? What’s the big news?”
“It’s actually being announced personally by the HR Alliance Chairman?”
Across the globe, those online or watching TV discovered it immediately. Even some busy working or sleeping were notified by friends.
Clearly, something big was about to be announced!
…
Washington Base City, Freedom Plaza.
“Let’s welcome Mr. Atkin, Chairman of the HR Alliance Council!”
Under the spotlights, amidst the cameras of the media, Atkin, dressed in a white shirt and black suit, looking very formal, walked onto the stage. The aura formed by his control over cosmic energy naturally quieted the surroundings. This was clearly a being beyond a Wargod, someone ordinary citizens looked up to.
“Ladies and gentlemen, and every friend watching this live broadcast worldwide.”
Atkin’s face barely concealed his excitement. “Today, I want to introduce someone to you first!”
“He is a genius, the youngest spirit reader to surpass a Wargod!”
“He once single-handedly killed dozens of king-level monsters and one beast emperor.”
“He fought the Devouring Beast in its final battle, killing it and saving humanity from disaster!”
“Who is he?” Atkin was incredibly excited.
At the same time, on the large screen behind him, a documentary about Luo Feng from the time of the eight heroes immediately appeared! Luo Feng’s glorious history from various periods, numerous photos, texts, and videos continuously flashed across the large screen.
“Yes, he is Luo Feng!”
“The most talented and greatest genius on our Earth.” Atkin’s voice was impassioned.
Before the TV and internet live broadcasts.
Countless people worldwide seemed to return to the days of over a year ago, those days that made countless hearts tremble, feeling as if the apocalypse had arrived. For the eight heroes who had passed, in their hearts, they were saviors. And among them, Luo Feng, the youngest and most talented, who delivered the final fatal blow, was worshipped and revered by countless people.
“I admire him, I revere him. I grieve for his passing, I regret his passing… Humanity has lost a peerless genius!”
Atkin suddenly said mysteriously, “But, have you noticed that no one ever found Luo Feng’s body? The powerful individuals who entered the seabed only saw the Devouring Beast’s corpse, not Luo Feng’s!”
Silence!
The entire Freedom Plaza suddenly fell silent, followed by an uproar, an uncontrollable surge of excited discussion!
“Yes! Your guess is correct!”
Atkin’s voice was incredibly high-pitched. “The news I am announcing today is… our Earth’s greatest genius, ‘Luo Feng,’ is still alive!!! Yes, he is still alive!!!”
Boom!
The entire Freedom Plaza erupted!
Boom!
In countries worldwide, countless people in front of their televisions erupted! Countless people in front of their computers also erupted!
At this moment!
The entire Earth erupted!
…
Huaxia Nation, Luo Feng’s home, first-floor living room.
Next to the crib, Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, and the nanny were all staring at the TV screen.
“Our Earth’s greatest genius, ‘Luo Feng,’ is still alive!!! Yes, he is still alive!!!” On the TV, the impassioned voice and the roaring excitement from the scene, which seemed to shatter the TV, made Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, who had been holding their breath in excitement, suddenly cry out.
“Quick, tell Xu Xin to come back.”
“Notify Luo Hua.”
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan excitedly dialed their phones. The two children in the crib, however, clung to the crib bars, their big, dark eyes staring at the TV. “Baba, ba…” One of them even pointed at Luo Feng’s photo on the screen and made a sound.
…
Luo Hua was in front of his company computer. And Xu Xin was also at her desk.
They were both staring at their respective computers.
…
Wei Wen, who was taking a nap due to the hot weather, was pulled in front of the computer by his girlfriend.
“What.”
Wei Wen’s mouth hung open in excitement!
…
At the Extreme Training Camp, Jiang Fang, Luo Feng’s former teacher, was also in front of the TV.
…
Janet, who had once pursued Luo Feng, and a young man pursuing her, stopped on a pedestrian street and looked up at a large screen.
…
Innumerable people worldwide watched this scene. The ‘Eight Heroes’ were already like saviors, and with media promotion, they had long been deified! And now, the youngest and most talented among them was alive? This news was announced to the world by the Chairman of the HR Alliance Council.
“This news made me too excited to sleep! So, I couldn’t help but want to tell everyone this astonishing good news!”
“He is my respected hero!”
“Immensely respected!”
Atkin seemed incredibly excited because his revered hero was alive, while countless people worldwide in front of their TVs, computers, and street screens were genuinely thrilled! They didn’t suspect Atkin was faking it. In their eyes, respecting the eight heroes was perfectly normal.
Suddenly—
Above Freedom Plaza, a streak of light rapidly descended, then paused and slowly landed. The entire plaza, including Atkin, fell silent.
Countless people worldwide in front of their televisions and computers also fell silent.
The entire world fell silent.
Everyone looked at that figure!
He wore military trousers, a simple vest, had short black hair, and eyes as deep as the sea. As he slowly descended from mid-air, his invisible aura could be felt even through the screens.
