Chapter 43: Killing Young Master Wang

Watching the cruise ship strike the reef of the deserted island, exploding and shattering into pieces, the five people standing on the beach froze. Stunned, dumbfounded, and utterly paralyzed.

They had thought that seeing a cruise ship meant there was hope of leaving this desolate island.

Yet, the end result turned out like this.

Apart from Lin Feng, who remained somewhat nonchalant, the other four shook their heads desperately, completely unable to accept the reality.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Compared to this outcome, they would rather have never seen this cruise ship pass by their deserted island in the first place.

It was simply too agonizing to bear.

"No, no, no, this isn't real!"

Wang Xingyu dropped to his knees with a heavy thud, weeping loudly with a face full of despair.

He was the son of the city lord, after all!

Once he returned, he could live a life of absolute luxury, snap his fingers for food and clothes, play with women as he pleased, and live in carefree bliss!

Most importantly, he wanted to take revenge on Lin Feng, to make him pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold price for his earlier actions!

"Sob... how could it turn out like this?!"

Cheng Xiangyu and Qin Meng could no longer hold back and burst into loud sobs.

For He Tiantian, disappointment was overshadowed by a deep sense of terror and embarrassment.

Because just a second ago, she had been entirely convinced that the cruise ship would take them away from the deserted island and back home, only for it to suffer a disaster the very next second, leaving them stranded once again.

The slap to her face came so swiftly that her mind could not even process it.

She turned her head to look at Lin Feng, hoping that the shock and astonishment brought by the sudden disaster would make him forget the mockery she had just unleashed upon him.

Instead, Lin Feng asked her directly, "He Tiantian, the cruise ship has wrecked, and we won't be going back anytime soon. Am I the king of this deserted island now, or am I not? Do I dare to kill Wang Xingyu?"

Thud!

Without waiting for He Tiantian to reply, Wang Xingyu was overwhelmed with dread and collapsed weakly onto the ground.

For he knew that Lin Feng had genuinely intended to kill him just a moment ago.

It was only the sudden appearance of the cruise ship, bringing a glimmer of hope for escape, that had made Lin Feng hesitate and spare him.

Now that the cruise ship had struck the reef, exploded, and torn apart, sealing off any hope of immediate rescue, Lin Feng no longer had any reason to hold back.

Coming to his senses, Wang Xingyu began to plead frantically, "Brother Lin, Brother Feng, please don't kill me, I beg you!"

"I will never go against you again."

"Furthermore, I will acknowledge you as my boss, crown you as the king of this deserted island, and obey your every word. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do it."

Upon seeing this, He Tiantian chimed in, "Young Master Wang, as the son of the city lord, your status is so noble. How can you lower yourself to apologize to a good-for-nothing pauper like Lin Feng?"

"Get up quickly. Don't worry, Lin Feng wouldn't dare kill you."

"Think about it: we've only been stranded on this island for three days, and a cruise ship has already appeared."

"This proves that even though the island lacks a lighthouse, shows no traces of human activity, and doesn't even have marine debris washed ashore, cruise ships do pass by this area from time to time."

"Who knows, another ship might pass by this afternoon or tomorrow."

"And it's impossible for every passing ship to be as unlucky as this one, crashing into a reef, exploding, and shattering into pieces."

"Therefore, we will be rescued and taken back very soon."

"If Lin Feng kills you, given your status as the city lord's son, the city lord's mansion will certainly not let the matter rest, and your cause of death will be investigated to the very end."

While saying this aloud, inwardly she was thinking: If you've already begged Lin Feng for mercy, doesn't that mean I'll have to humble myself and apologize to him even more?

Qin Meng felt that He Tiantian made sense and echoed, "That's right, Young Master Wang, you don't need to beg Lin Feng for mercy at all. He doesn't have the guts to kill you."

Hearing this, Wang Xingyu turned his head to look at Lin Feng.

However, he noticed that Lin Feng's expression did not show a shred of fear in response to He Tiantian's analysis; instead, it had grown even icier.

Panic-stricken, Wang Xingyu yelled out, "Shut up! You two, shut your mouths right now!"

Then, forcing a smile, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin, Brother Feng, don't listen to what they're saying. I believe that you really do dare to kill me. So as long as you're willing to spare me, I will truly listen to you in everything, acknowledge you as my king, and follow your lead!"

Lin Feng gave a faint, chilling smile. "Oh? You'll really listen to me in everything?"

Wang Xingyu frowned, feeling a bad premonition, but quickly forced a smile again. "Yes, really, really!"

Lin Feng nodded. "Alright, then if you're willing, kneel down, apologize to me, and shout ten times at the top of your lungs: 'I am a beast, I am worse than a pig or a dog!' Then I'll spare your life."

Huh?

Wang Xingyu froze, never expecting Lin Feng to make such a demand.

He figured that Lin Feng had no intention of letting him off at all and simply wanted to humiliate and toy with him.

He Tiantian sneered, "Lin Feng, what kind of a nobody are you, a mere pauper, to have the audacity to make the city lord's son kneel and apologize to you?"

Qin Meng added, "Lin Feng, you are going way too far! How can you humiliate Young Master Wang like this?"

"Earlier, you probably assumed Young Master Wang wouldn't survive until rescue arrived, which is why you showed him zero respect and weren't afraid of offending him."

"Now, with a cruise ship passing by the island so soon, we could be rescued and taken back at any moment. For you to still offend him now is utterly foolish and pure suicide."

Whenever Lin Feng laid eyes on the two women—especially Qin Meng speaking up for Wang Xingyu—a wave of irritation washed over him.

He narrowed his eyes and looked down at Wang Xingyu. "What are you waiting for? Are you refusing to do as I said?"

Wang Xingyu hesitated for a moment, then sneered, "A man can be killed, but not humiliated! Lin Feng, if you've got the spine, just kill me."

After all, as the esteemed son of the city lord, people had always fawned over him and treated him with utmost politeness.

He was always the one doing the bullying!

When had he ever been humiliated and bullied like this?

When had he ever suffered such grievance?

He simply could not bring himself to fulfill Lin Feng's demand.

Moreover, he figured that He Tiantian and Qin Meng's reasoning made sense, and Lin Feng probably didn't actually dare to take his life.

He decided to act tough and take a gamble.

Lin Feng chuckled softly. "Oh? Do you also think I don't dare to kill you?"

Wang Xingyu gritted his teeth and spat out, "That's right!"

Hahaha!

A cold laugh escaped Lin Feng's lips.

Without another word, he drew a dagger from his waist and slashed it across Wang Xingyu's throat.

Having studied forensic medicine and performed autopsies, he struck with pinpoint precision, slicing directly through Wang Xingyu's carotid artery.

Anticipating the spray, he swiftly shifted his body and sidestepped to the side.

Almost the instant he moved, a jet of bright red blood spurted violently from Wang Xingyu's neck.

"You..."

Wang Xingyu instinctively reached up to grab his throat, desperately trying to stem the flow of blood, but it was completely unstoppable. With a raspy, choked gasp, he collapsed onto the ground from massive blood loss.

His eyes widened in shock, filled with eternal regret in death.

He regretted listening to those two women and gambling his life on the assumption that Lin Feng wouldn't dare kill him.

Regrettably, life only offered one chance, and it was too late for regrets.

Seeing that Lin Feng had truly killed Wang Xingyu, Qin Meng stood frozen, her eyes wide with disbelief, unable to process the horrific reality unfolding before her.

He Tiantian collapsed limply onto the ground, her gaze fixed on Lin Feng with abject terror, terrified that she might be next on his execution list.

As for Cheng Xiangyu, she was deeply astonished, never expecting Lin Feng to be so ruthless and decisive in actually taking Wang Xingyu's life.
