On the other side, Ren Feng received a call from Lone Wolf.

The very first sentence Lone Wolf spoke gave him a bad feeling.

After hearing Lone Wolf recount the incident, Ren Feng's face instantly darkened!

Purple Briar!

Ren Feng's eyes were filled with a chilling intent to kill. What a method, targeting Xia Wenxue!

Right now, Ren Feng was filled with anger. Standing on the street, it felt as if the temperature around him had dropped.

Passersby couldn't help but shiver as they walked by, turning back to look at Ren Feng.

"I understand, wait for me there." Ren Feng hung up the phone expressionlessly.

He lifted his head, his face unable to hide the murderous intent!

Although he hadn't spent much time with Xia Wenxue, Ren Feng already considered her as his woman.

This way, Xia Wenxue was equivalent to his reverse scale.

The dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and you die!

What's more, Ren Feng was originally protecting Xia Wenxue, but unexpectedly, it was because of him that Xia Wenxue was harmed, something Ren Feng absolutely wouldn't allow to happen.

Ren Feng had been somewhat cautious, but he didn't expect Purple Briar to be so ruthless in their approach.

Snatching someone in broad daylight, this was somewhat reckless. Although he had Lone Wolf secretly guarding, Lone Wolf's strength was simply not a match for Purple Briar.

Purple Briar and the others were within the top 100 in Earth Rank, far surpassing Lone Wolf's level at the end of the Earth Rank.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Feng immediately headed towards the front of the Flying Snow Group.

Soon, Ren Feng stood in front of Lone Wolf.

Taking a look at the BMW parked at the scene and the surrounding staff, Ren Feng's expression was extremely grim.

"I..." Lone Wolf seemed about to speak, filled with shame. His first task from Ren Feng, and he had failed to complete it.

"It's not your fault," Ren Feng said calmly. "You're not her match."

Lone Wolf's eyes flashed with even stronger guilt.

"Mobilize all the resources you can and investigate for me!" A faint killing intent lingered on Ren Feng's face.

"Alright." Lone Wolf agreed without a second thought, determined to make amends.

Seeing Lone Wolf leave swiftly, Ren Feng forcibly suppressed his anger and irritability.

Now, he must remain calm; otherwise, he might not be able to rescue Xia Wenxue.

Ren Feng clearly understood Purple Briar's motive for kidnapping Xia Wenxue. She had no direct vendetta with Xia Wenxue; the target was only himself.

In other words, Xia Wenxue would temporarily be fine, used only to lure him out.

Calm, stay calm.

Ren Feng took a breath, then called Long Yue.

"Anything?"

"Help me find Laine's address."

Ren Feng quickly explained the situation.

"What?" Long Yue was also furious on the other end. Kidnapping in broad daylight? And in the Dragon Group's territory?

At that moment, Long Yue's door was pushed open by a subordinate who spoke in a deep voice: "There's been a kidnapping on Wenfeng Road!"

"Understood."

Long Yue then told Ren Feng over the phone, "Don't worry. We'll start an investigation immediately and will inform you of any updates first-hand."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Feng felt like he had no outlet for his rage.

He just felt his restless murderous intent still rampaging within.

Damn it, why was I so negligent?

Ren Feng walked down the street, paying no attention to his surroundings.

Why wasn't I by Xia Wenxue's side?

Why didn't I accompany her just now?

Ren Feng felt both guilty and angry, his killing intent toward Purple Briar growing ever stronger!

"Beep—Beep—Beep"

A car on the road honked in shock as Ren Feng crossed the street.

Ren Feng seemed oblivious.

"Hey, are you out of your mind?" the driver stuck his head out and cursed.

But the next second, Ren Feng, with a stoic face, punched the car's hood, causing it to cave in.

The driver was dumbfounded, watching Ren Feng leave. Wanting to say something, he swallowed his words.

Ren Feng wandered as if his soul had left his body.

Within his heart, he didn't really know what he was feeling. If Xia Wenxue died, apart from guilt, he would feel empty inside, as if something was being taken away.

Had he fallen for this cold woman?

A thought flashed through Ren Feng's mind. Recalling the days together, though they mostly bickered and he often took advantage of her, it seemed it had unknowingly become a habit.

Is it only when you're about to lose something that you realize it?

The air around Ren Feng seemed to turn even colder, the sky quickly darkening, his expression utterly icy.

A young man approached, bumping into Ren Feng, and angrily shouted, "Can't you watch where you're going..."

The rest of his words went unsaid as Ren Feng lifted his head, his eyes unbelievably cold, devoid of any human emotion, their harsh killing intent making the young man shudder involuntarily.

"So- sorry, it was my fault."

The young man, startled, quickly ran off.

And at that moment, Ren Feng's internal rage surged like waves, violently crashing.

No, I won't let you die!

No matter the cost, I won't let you die!

Just then, Ren Feng's phone rang.

Ren Feng picked up the phone, and immediately, a very familiar voice came through.

"Hahaha, my dear Feng team, have you learned the news by now?"

Purple Briar's mocking voice conveyed over the phone, malicious and venomous.

"Too bad, you're always a step behind. Xia Wenxue is already in my hands. Mercenary King, do you always drag your feet like this in your work?"

Ren Feng didn't respond, just listening to Purple Briar's taunts.

His mind was extremely calm now, no doubt, Purple Briar's target was himself.

"Mercenary King, are you feeling crushed?" Purple Briar's words turned vicious, "You killed all my family, today I shall kill her, let you taste this agony!"

Purple Briar's actions were undoubtedly crossing the line. In the Mercenary Realm, although anything could be done for certain objectives, some unwritten rules couldn't be broken, specifically not involving family, no matter what.

"Purple Briar, your target is me!" Ren Feng's eyes glinted with cold light, speaking softly.
