Chapter 255: Dormant Volcano Step by step, Lin Feng entered the room slowly, his gaze fixed on the portrait on the table.
His second brother, Lin Hai!
Lin Feng almost could not believe this grievous news. How could his second brother die just like that?
Lin Feng’s family had always been the Achilles’ heel that no one was allowed to touch! Plagued by a strange illness since he was young, his family cared deeply for him. Even his second brother Lin Hai, whom he rarely saw, would bring some things back for him from the army.
But now, his second brother was dead?
“How did Second Brother die?”
Lin Feng showed no sadness at all. In fact, his expression was very cold. However, it was this coldness that seemed to chill the room immensely.
Even General Long could not help but feel intimidated. However, under Lin Feng’s cold gaze, he nonetheless gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “Lin Hai was killed in action when carrying out a special mission!”
“What mission?”
“I’m sorry, but Lin Hai was carrying out a highly confidential mission. Please forgive me for not being able to disclose it.”
Even though General Long also felt immense pressure, he still resisted it. Such a confidential mission could never be revealed to anyone.
Bang. Lin Feng threw a lightning-quick punch. Before anyone could react, General Long was sent flying.
This was the result of Lin Feng showing restraint. Otherwise, even if Lin Feng had not used his combat body, with his current physique, he was far from what a mere Metamorphic Realm martial artist could resist.
Swoosh. The four soldiers brought by General Long immediately stood in front of Lin Feng and berated loudly, “Lin Feng, what are you trying to do?”
“Get lost!”
The Mental Power Sphere in Lin Feng’s mind erupted violently, and terrifying mental power swept out like a storm. The four soldiers trembled as if they were facing a horrifying dire beast.
This was a mental storm. Lin Feng’s mental power was not strong yet, so it could only affect ordinary people who had not broken the genetic lock. However, if it were stronger, it would even be able to affect those Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
The four soldiers’ bodies stiffened, and they even forgot to stop him. Lin Feng walked straight to General Long and grabbed him. He asked coldly, “What mission was my second brother on?”
“Lin Feng, calm down! Lin Hai was carrying out a secret mission. I’m also very pained by his death, but there’s nothing I can do…”
Bang. Before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng threw General Long to the ground.
General Long could not resist Lin Feng at all.
“What mission was Second Brother on?”
Lin Feng asked again and again. His tone was as cold as ice, and even vaguely revealed killing intent. General Long had a feeling that if he did not answer today, Lin Feng would really dare to kill him.
When had Lin Feng become so terrifying?
However, General Long was a soldier. He would never speak under threat.
“Lin Feng, Lin Hai was carrying out a confidential mission. Moreover, he volunteered for the mission. Therefore, I cannot tell you the truth.”
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Fury and even killing intent were indeed brewing in his heart. At this moment, his killing intent was boiling, as if nothing could stop him.
“Lin Feng, what are you doing?” Mr. Lin finally reacted and immediately shouted.
Lin Feng took a long look at General Long on the ground, then closed his eyes slightly.
“General Long, I’m sorry. But even if Second Brother is dead, we can’t just brush it over like this. I’ll find his corpse and bring him back for burial!”
With that, Lin Feng turned around.
“Lin Feng, how are you going to bring back Lin Hai’s corpse when you don’t know anything,? Moreover, that place is very dangerous. Forget about you, even Divine Realm martial artists have little chance of survival there…”
General Long shouted from behind Lin Feng. He actually did not blame Lin Feng.
Back when the Lin family handed Lin Hai over to him, he had devoted himself to nurturing Lin Hai. But now? Lin Hai was dead, yet he was still alive. Sometimes, thinking about it, perhaps this was the greatest injustice.
However, Lin Feng did not stop. Instead, he walked straight into the airship. The airship quickly took off and disappeared into the horizon.
“Cough…”
General Long coughed lightly. Lin Feng’s attacks just now were really ruthless. Moreover, the Astral Power in his body was actually completely useless.
“General Long, what mission exactly was Lin Hai on?” Mr. Lin was also in tears.
“I’m sorry, I can’t say. Hurry up and ask Lin Feng to come back. That place is really too dangerous…”
“We won’t be able to make him come back. No one can stop Lin Feng once he’s set his mind on something.” Mr. Lin shook his head.
“I wonder where he’s going? Lin Hai was on a confidential mission. He won’t be able to find it.”
“General Long, that’s not necessarily the case. You probably don’t know this, right? Lin Feng has already reached the Divine Realm and is now the Legate of Central Sea City. Perhaps he really has some way to investigate the mission carried out by Lin Hai.”
“What? He became a Divine Realm martial artist, and a Legate at that?”
General Long’s expression changed abruptly. He had rushed over to Central Sea this time, and really had not investigated the Lin family’s situation. He had thought that Lin Feng was still a genius martial artist from the Global Martial Arts Competition.
Unexpectedly, the genius martial artist from back then had already become a true expert, a Legate who presided over a region!
Perhaps with Lin Feng’s network, he might really be able to investigate Lin Hai’s situation. However, anyone who went to that place now would die!
“No, Lin Hai is already dead. Lin Feng must stay safe no matter what. Otherwise, I’ll be letting Lin Hai down!”
General Long immediately bade farewell to the Lin family and left in a hurry.
…
In the airship, Lin Feng’s expression was ice-cold. At this moment, all the contentment, leisure, and beauty had disappeared. His heart was churning incessantly like a volcanic eruption.
Even Lin Feng himself could not control his killing intent.
His family was his Achilles’ heel. Now, his second brother was dead, and he had died without a whole body. His corpse had not even been found. Lin Feng could not tolerate this.
No matter what, he had to bring his second brother home, even if only his corpse was left!
Although General Long refused to tell what mission Second Brother Lin Hai was carrying out and where he had encountered danger, Lin Feng had his own ways.
“Longbetham, help me to locate Second Brother’s communicator!” Lin Feng said coldly.
No matter what mission it was, he must have brought his communicator with him. Even if he did not bring his communicator, Lin Feng would definitely be able to find his second brother Lin Hai’s camp with it. Then, he would not be far from finding his second brother.
“Lin Feng, your second brother’s communicator signal disappeared a long time ago, but I found the last coordinates before your second brother’s signal disappeared.”
Longbetham sent the coordinates to Lin Feng, who input them directly into the control room of the airship.
“Second Brother, I’ll bring you home…”
Lin Feng muttered softly. His expression did not relax, and his gaze became even colder, like a dormant volcano that could erupt at any moment.
…
Beep. In the dark room, the black-robed man, who was paying close attention to Lin Feng’s movements, sent a message.
“Target has left Central Sea City in an airship.”
After the message was sent, the room fell silent again.
