The call suspended in a brief moment of silence.

Moments later, the woman started spewing!

“Do you live in a gaping crater or what? All those who went fell or dropped to either becoming mutilated or severely wounded! What the hell!” she hollered and shrieked like a mad cow or a drunk man consummating an overwhelming feeling.

The woman’s clamor was ear-splittingly loud. Chu Feng distanced himself from the receiver but still paid attention to the words she spoke. Finally, he responded in a frivolous manner, “Yeah, yeah. Spot on! Not only do I live inside a crater, I also dig holes deeper into the earth to make space for parterres and farmlands. I’ve planted vegetables and quite a number of orchids. Those trees grew quite dense in the area, so I won’t really blame them for missing this obvious hole on the ground. I’m so sorry that they have had the misfortune to tumble into their demise here.”

That woman’s breathing became coarser and coarser as Chu Feng’s passage of flippant words dragged out. Listening from this side of the communicator, Chu Feng could even vaguely tell that the woman’s breast was driven by anger, fluctuating violently.

Chu Feng shovelled aside the communicator away from his ears.

As expected, a tirade of furious rants blasted on the other end of the line.

“I don’t have time to discuss with you about some craters, and I don’t give a DAMN about what you want to plant in there. But listen! I need you to ensure that those people, my people, are perfectly fine, or I will go there and make your life an insufferable hell!”

The woman clamored on the phone. She eventually realized the enormity of her faux pas at once, but she just couldn’t resist the urge to raise her voice and holler at Chu Feng.

Her attitude and manner carried a completely different set of demeanors to her usual mien. She had never been a miffy person. Elegance, grace, poise and honor had always been the her code of conduct, but now, these commendable characters had all parted from her. There was a ball of fire within her that unsettled her heart.

“But, all of them had been somehow badly injured. I don’t think there is much chance for them to live through the infliction of their trauma. Probably, this has been destined to be their undoing. It’s their fate, so what can I do?” Chu Feng asked.

“If you can’t do sh*t, find someone that can! Find a doctor! Send them to the hospital! I don’t care what you can or cannot do, but if you can’t keep them alive, then I will make sure that you will be buried with them!” the woman shouted.

“Why should I?”

“How dare you talk to me like this?” the woman grunted.

Bang!

The woman quickly hung up the communicator, because she realized the impropriety in her demeanors. One could easily expose their weakness and the fatal flaws in their character when one was taken over by emotion. This should not have been her style.

She needed to stay calm and remain in a placid composure. She did not want herself to be learnt by or known to someone as despicable and incompetent as Chu Feng.

Obviously, she had been taken over by emotion, but she could quickly collect herself and cease that temporal upheaval of emotion.

She removed herself from the agitated state of her swinging mood. The raging flame ablaze in her eyes was removed and replaced by a cool glitter that reflected her profound intelligence.

As she knew, because of the close relationships between Chu Feng and Lin Naoi, the attention of some of the top executives from Deity Biomedical Group had been drawn into conducting a series of investigation of Chu Feng’s background and ability. Secretly, they had been experimenting on Chu Feng’s hair that they had collected. The results of the experiments were almost certain that it would be highly unlikely for him to become a mutant.

“Just a despicable ordinary. He’s got no power himself at all, so who was lending him the helping hand?” the woman mumbled to herself. Then, the name of Lin Naoi called to mind. “Has she become aware of our planned assassination of him?” The woman was taken aback by her own thought.

However, it seemed highly unlikely that Lin Naoi would have devoted herself to others amidst an outbreak of chaos and upheavals. The fact that their relationships had never been a fervent one further disapproved the likelihood of her lending him a helping hand.
