Chapter 99: Lure

Xu Feng's seemingly outrageous proposal struck Zhao Kai like a thunderbolt.

To take control of the Zhao Enterprise?

It was easier said than done when he had practically zero shares of the company, much less any money to even afford 1% of it.

"Stop joking with me, Feng." Zhao Kai waved his hand and brushed aside the outrageous proposal.

"You don't believe me?" Xu Feng smirked in response when he saw the lackluster reaction.

However, deep down, Xu Feng knew his outrageous proposal was actually something he had been trying to do. He just never had the opportunity or the capital to actualize the plan.

"Do you know the Divine World is not as simple as you look, Kai?" Xu Feng suddenly said.

Confused as expected, Zhao Kai tilted his head, seemingly unsure of what he was trying to highlight.

"I've made the salary of someone working in a big company in one day through the Divine World." He subsequently revealed, dropping a few more hints to him.

Such revelations were something Xu Feng would most likely never do, but Zhao Kai was someone he trusted.

After all, when he was down and nearly starving to death, it was him who showed up and helped him through those difficult times.

Hence, it was a risk he was willing to take, and if Zhao Kai really betrayed this trust, then Xu Feng could only accept it as another lesson. At the very least, he realized it early on and prevented more damage in the future.

However, if he didn't, then Xu Feng would want Zhao Kai by his side and assist him in the grand plan he had for the Divine World.

Being alone was naturally not wrong, but once he expanded further, Xu Feng would require more trusted aides to assist him.

Meanwhile, Zhao Kai's mouth hung open in disbelief, his eyes wide and his brow furrowed.

"Anyway, what are you going to do with all that money?" He subsequently asked, seemingly intrigued with his plan. At the same time, he could also give his own input to help the latter out a bit.

"To invest further," Xu Feng flatly replied. "The money might seem abundant to a normal family, but it's far from enough for my goal and your goal."

Nodding his head in agreement, Zhao Kai knew that Xu Feng's wealth of close to half a million dollars could barely affect anyone at the top hierarchy.

"Whatever then, just let me know what to do by that time." Zhao Kai suddenly flexed his muscles and said, "I've nothing to do anyway since my elder sister usually sends me money, so I'm always free."

Smiling, Xu Feng fixed his glasses as he took a few steps back. "There is something that you can do for me now."

"What is it?"

"By killing the monsters who have been attracted by my lure."

By the time, Xu Feng finished speaking, numerous silhouettes from afar started to appear. Growling noises echoed through the Verdant Valley, and the ground seemed to be shaking from the fervor of the approaching monsters.

As the growling grew louder, the first of the Stonehide Boars came into view.

These hulking creatures were covered in thick, stone-like plates that glinted dully in the faint light.

Their small, bloodshot eyes were filled with fury, and their tusks, jagged and sharp, jutted menacingly from their mouths. Muscles rippled beneath their armored hides as they charged forward, snorting and pawing at the ground with their powerful hooves.

Zhao Kai twitched his brows at the sight of these agitated Stonehide Boars.

"Aren't your lures a bit too strong, Feng?" He asked in a nervous tone.

"Feng?"

"Where did you go, Feng?"

"Fuck, you actually ditch me here alone?"
