Chapter 828: Oasis Hotel

With the outlook of the Dark Legion, Xu Feng would be lying that he wasn't impressed by them. In fact, they were a great guild to partner up with.

Unfortunately, that was only one part of the main factor.

The current muddy water in Vanguard Guild was a lot.

"Kai, set up a meeting with your sister." Xu Feng commanded. "She'll need to know what she is signing up for."

"Of course," Zhao Kai agreed and explained, "I'm already driving us to one of the hotels owned by our Zhao Enterprise."

"It seems like your right cheek needs to get bruised as well."

"Ahem, you can't put me on trial for the same crime, Feng. That's called double jeopardy and is illegal."

A double jeopardy was used here because Zhao Kai didn't scheme against Xu Feng once with the proposal, but actually a second time by already planning on driving him to the meeting place.

In other words, from the time he entered his vehicle at the airport, he was already hooked on his deliberate scheme.

"Hey, Kai, do you think claiming double jeopardy will save you?" Xu Feng asked calmly.

Zhao Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He shook his head in response, but still tried his best to keep his distance away from Xu Feng.

Having received the first punch, Zhao Kai had already determined his punch strength had increased.

'How did the punch in the dorm increase to this much in a few months?' He wondered silently. He felt as if Xu Feng had taken some steroids to build his muscle strength.

"Feng, shouldn't you get a girlfriend as well?" Zhao Kai suddenly changed the topic. "You know, a girlfriend can help you relieve a lot of stress. Of course, you need to find a good one for that. If you found a bad one, then your stress level would increase further."

"Are you really itching for another bruise?" Xu Feng twitched his mouth and wondered what kind of crap he was spouting. Surely, he didn't go crazy from a single punch, especially when that punch wasn't even on his head.

"Look at you." However, Zhao Kai ignored the threat and doubled down on his suggestion. "You're becoming explosive and brutal. You must be really dry in love. If you need help, then just ask me. I'll gladly set up meetings with a lovely woman for you to date."

KAPOW!

Sometime later, they arrived at the Oasis Hotel and were quickly greeted by the presence of Zhao Xin's personal assistant, Anna Liu.

"Greetings—" Anna Liu was about to greet them but paused herself when she noticed Zhao Kai's face. Or more specifically, his cheeks on both sides being bruised.

'What happened to him? Did he get beat up for speaking nonsense?' She wondered silently.

"Ahem, our President is waiting for you at the top," Anna cleverly cleared her throat and feigned ignorance about Zhao Kai's condition.

Based on Zhao Kai's personality, if it was someone else that harmed him, then he would have thrown a fit already. However, seeing how he remained silent like a docile cat, it was obvious who the culprit was.

Zhao Kai also realized his significance in Anna's eyes was far lower than the upcoming partnership.

Although he understood it, he still felt bitter as to how little he seemed to her.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng was not used to Anna's polite behavior which was usually used for business partners. It was not only very uncomfortable, but it was also very fake of her.

"Just treat me as usual, Anna." Xu Feng raised his hand and suggested.

"I can't possibly do that." Anna shook her head and put on a sweet smile.

"If you don't, then I'm going to take my leave. Leave your professional smile to others who don't understand the real you."

"I understand…" In the blink of an eye, Anna's smile turned into disdain, and gestured her hand. "Let's go. The President is waiting and I ain't got all day to wait for your slow legs."

"That's the Anna I know." Xu Feng breathed out a sigh of relief. Nothing was more scary than pretentious and facade behavior.

Unamused by his statement, Anna chose to feign deaf and proceeded to guide them the way.

Of course, with such a grand display, it naturally garnered quite the attention.

In the hotel lobby, there were people sitting on the couches and gossiping loudly.

"Hmm, isn't that the illegitimate grandson of Zhao Gaofu, Zhao Kai? What's he doing here?"

"Shh, he's been accepted already. Now her sister is the President of Zhao Enterprise. Her grandfather gave her full authority."

"Hahaha, rich people's problem."

Their gossip was loud enough to enter their ears and Xu Feng was honestly tired of these people.

"The hotel sure is prestigious." Xu Feng lightly commented. "Even customers could openly talk about Kai's status and not be worried about anything. Seems like Kai's sister really holds him in high prestige."

"..."

Silent, Anna instantly understood the implication. What he meant was that they were able to leverage this meeting due to Zhao Kai's connection. Yet as soon as he entered, they heard gossiping about Zhao Kai openly by some random nobodies.

Without a doubt, Xu Feng's impression had dipped quite a bit. Not to mention, it could inadvertently harm the relationship between the two half-siblings.

After all, Zhao Xin had effectively eliminated her two eldest brothers, meaning she no longer needed to worry about inheritance or her position being in jeopardy.

In other words, does she still need Zhao Kai?

That was the question.

Who knew if Zhao Xin always treated Zhao Kai nicely without any hidden intention?

Swiftly, Anna beckoned for a few employees nearby and signaled for them to kick the blabbermouth out.

"Um, Miss Anna, those people are from the Artisan Catering Limited." One of the employees explained.

Artisan Catering Limited was a big business that involved themselves in the food industry. Any hotels that wanted fresh ingredients had to go through them as the medium.

"Does it look like I care?" Anna narrowed her eyes coldly. "A mere catering company thinks they're some big shot and can run wild? I'll make a call to their president's secretary and we'll see who's in trouble."
