Caesar Grand Hotel.

The commotion in the third-floor corridor was too loud to keep hidden.

In the lounge, the top executives of major groups were on edge, especially after the recent incident at the Blair Hotel that stirred things up.

In the Mining Capital, high-end hotels are generally the safest places, a perception all factions have worked hard to maintain.

But the mad dog's assault on the Blair Hotel has set a bad precedent. Li Feng wasn't going to just swallow his anger; an eye for an eye was more his style.

A single explosive package razed the Blair Hotel to the ground. Although no one died, the intimidation was strong.

Thus, after changing the venue, the Caesar Grand Hotel spent a fortune on security. But once gunfire sounded, the hotel manager turned pale.

"Show me the surveillance footage and have the security staff assemble immediately."

"The surveillance seems to have problems; the screen's stuck."

The security guard in the surveillance room sensed something was wrong. Previously, the corridor was silent, so they hadn't paid much attention, as most of the time, the corridors were empty.

But now, despite remote controlling the cameras, the image remained frozen. Even a fool would realize the surveillance was faulty.

"Damn it."

The hotel manager cursed but still called for the security staff to head up the stairs to the third floor.

"What's happening here?"

The manager recognized Li Feng, remembering the confrontation in the lounge where the heir of the Blair family provoked Zhu from Yan Country, and despite calling on the War God Achilles, they were defeated once more, reviving the Dragon King's name in Lijia State.

Li Feng had rested for a while. Despite being a bit mentally drained, he was otherwise fine, turning his gaze to the somewhat unfriendly hotel manager opposite him, letting out a cold laugh.

"You're asking me what's going on?"

"Are you the hotel manager?"

"I am Donny Donald, the owner of this hotel." Donny, in his thirties, was the heir to the Donald family. The innate arrogance of a Federation member registered in his gaze toward Li Feng, manifesting as a hint of disdain.

"Boss, the guy on the floor is one of our hired security personnel."

A security guard whispered into Donny's ear. Donny's eyes moved to the bloody scene on the floor, and he took a deep breath.

Despite knowing this man was not to be trifled with, if he remained silent, it would seem as if he were intimidated by this man from Yan Country.

"Sir, I hope you can give me an explanation as to why my security personnel have ended up dead in the hallway."

"Do you really think being strong allows you to do whatever you please, that you can afford to make countless enemies on this land?"

Despite gritting his teeth, Donny's words lacked confidence as they reached his lips.

Li Feng eyed this man trying to put on an act yet forced to restrain himself, but whose arrogance wouldn't let him acknowledge his fear, sneering slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"You want an explanation from me?"

Li Feng chuckled sinisterly, staring at Donny. Standing in front of him, Donny felt a shiver run down his spine.

Just as Donny found himself in an awkward position, his mind racing.

Li Feng let him off, saying, "Come downstairs, and I'll give you an explanation."

With that, Li Feng brushed past Donny's shoulder. The security personnel behind Donny, initially holding guns, instinctively swallowed a nervous gulp as Li Feng passed by, subconsciously parting to make way.

Donny wiped the sweat from his brow, then suddenly turned, his expression cold as he watched Li Feng's group descend the staircase.

"Fine, let's see how you explain this."

Lounge on the second floor.

Ten minutes before the bidding begins.

Zhu Jun instinctively checked his watch, knowing the bidding was about to start, yet Li Feng hadn't returned.

Surely Li Feng wasn't out having fun and lost track of time?

Even though the bidding could proceed with or without Li Feng, for some reason, Zhu Jun felt uneasy without him there.

This thought made Zhu Jun feel a bit speechless, considering he was the eldest son of the Zhu family in Jin City, a prominent figure capable of making waves in Jin City. When did he start needing someone else to have his back?

Reflecting on this, Zhu Jun shook his head.

"Prepare, we're heading to the bidding." Zhu Jun instructed those beside him, while other executives from various mining groups also checked their watches, preparing to head to the bidding site.

Not everyone could attend the bidding site, so Zhu Jun was only taking a secretary who doubled as a bodyguard. They were about to leave when the lounge door was pushed open.

"Quick, quick, something's happened."

The commotion on the third floor hadn't reached the second-floor lounge due to the hotel's good soundproofing, along with the live band playing in the lounge, making the relatively enclosed space unaware of outside events.

"What happened?"

"Someone's been killed, that man from Yan Country."

Hearing this, Zhu Jun's heart skipped a beat. He immediately stepped toward the door, while others, upon hearing the words 'Yan Country man,' also wanted to take a look.

In the open-space atrium of the hotel, a massive chandelier hung from the ceiling. Standing by the second-floor railing, one could overlook the first-floor lobby.

"Didn't you say you'd give me an explanation?"

Donny, with his people, followed to the first-floor lobby. Beyond this was the hotel entrance. Surely the other party didn't plan to make a getaway?

Donny considered whether to order someone to block the exit.

Li Feng halted, suddenly turning around to stare at Donny, then scanning the second floor: "I said I'd give you an explanation, and I will."

Just then, the hotel doors burst open, and security personnel stationed there were kicked into the lobby.

Donny's face darkened.

He felt he'd been deceived.

"Dragon King, do you really think your strength allows you to act without restraint? Caesar Grand Hotel has weathered a century of storms here in the Mining Capital, and the Donald family's history stretches back centuries in the Southern Federation."

"Originally, your feud with the Blair family was not something I wished to involve myself in, but don't overstep your bounds."

"You've killed in my Caesar Grand Hotel, and if I let you walk away like this, where would the Donald family's centuries-long reputation go?"

Donny gritted his teeth, glaring at Li Feng. If he did nothing and let Li Feng walk out unchallenged, the Caesar Grand Hotel's reputation would plummet.

As one of the Donald family's most significant enterprises, if Caesar Grand Hotel fell, their family would face bankruptcy, a scenario he could not accept under any circumstances.

"Well, this is getting interesting."

Ares Blair squinted at the stalemate between Donny Donald and the Dragon King, clicking his tongue in interest.
