Chapter 884: Chapter 723: Extorting Gratitude? Your Anger Is Excessive

Zhang Shenyi’s face was shadowy and could drip with water.

He had to admit, Feng Mu’s words, purely from a logical standpoint, made a lot of sense.

In a hostile relationship, life and death are each one’s responsibility. He shouldn’t hate the enemy—that would make them look unprofessional.

But... he just couldn’t suppress the evil rage in his heart!

Not just because of the death of a teammate, but more so because... he clearly felt that Feng Mu’s actions went beyond simple "killing."

He always felt that Feng Mu wasn’t just killing people, but rather, was deliberately, and with ulterior motives, toying with them.

Like how he used delicate illusions to manipulate Shadow Scorpion, causing him to die under his own most proud ability.

Feng Mu also saved He only to kill him again, using such unpredictable behavior to toy with the entire Worries Relief Studio.

Zhang Shenyi instinctively felt that Feng Mu’s actions were not simply for the sake of killing or merely "playing."

He seemed more like he was conducting a bizarre "experiment," observing their reactions through extreme changes of "salvation" and "destruction," manipulating their emotions to achieve a deeper, more sinister purpose.

But exactly what that purpose was, he couldn’t figure out, no matter how hard he tried.

From his perspective, whatever Feng Mu wanted the Worries Relief Studio to do, the best approach would be to save He and then use that as leverage for reward or blackmail; that would be wise and sensible.

After all, he had come so close, where was the logic in not even negotiating before tearing up the ticket?

Can’t make sense of it!

Really can’t make sense of it!

Zhang Shenyi could only temporarily attribute the logic behind this to the unknown thoughts of a madman.

To some extent, Zhang Shenyi’s intuition couldn’t be said to be insensitive; indeed, he had guessed correctly.

Feng Mu was indeed deliberately manipulating their emotional fluctuations, with a deeper and more sinister intent hidden behind.

But this intent was far more twisted than Zhang Shenyi could have imagined, far more... beyond common sense.

Simple blackmail for reward was too low; Feng Mu wasn’t interested in that, what he wanted was...

Feng Mu was very pleased with Zhang Shenyi’s earnest listening posture; he knew that Zhang Shenyi probably didn’t quite understand now.

But it didn’t matter, he was just making sure the other side remembered it for now so that when the time came, they would naturally understand his "good intentions."

He continued to guide gently:

"I didn’t just kill your people, I also killed a White Mask, and they died quite miserably, didn’t they?

But take a closer look, the White Masks are behaving really calmly, no one feels there’s anything wrong."

Feng Mu glanced around at the White Masks who had entangled again with Worries Relief Studio, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth as he added:

"So far, you’ve lost one person, and a White Mask has died too, the casualty ratio is 1:1, no one has died more than the other; it’s fair.

"So, from my point of view, your anger seems somewhat... excessive, which isn’t good!"

"Enough!!!"

Zhang Shenyi finally couldn’t listen anymore, he nearly laughed in rage.

These White Masks can’t be compared to Worries Relief Studio, from their battle performance alone it’s clear they don’t care at all about their companions’ lives and deaths.

These trash are worthy of being compared with them?!!

This simple truth was clear to Feng Mu as well.

This was why Feng Mu, once he had entered, chose to save He twice, rather than saving Shadow Scorpion twice.

It was the goodness exhibited by Worries Relief Studio that sowed the current good fruit.

Zhang Shenyi perhaps did not quite agree with this ’good fruit,’ though.

The fury in his heart had already been stirred by Feng Mu’s crooked reasoning into a critical state, like a volcano about to erupt, it could no longer be restrained.

He stomped heavily, the ground erupted into depressions, a surge of explosive strength rose from the sole and transmitted along his spine to the tips of his knuckles, preparing to relentlessly step forward and smash the Finger Tiger onto Feng Mu’s nauseating smiling face.

However, just as his aura surged and was about to initiate.

Feng Mu’s eyes slightly narrowed, his previously composed silhouette moved first.

When the enemy remains still, I remain still; when the enemy moves, I move first.

Feng Mu suddenly took two steps back, his moves light and swift.

Meanwhile, his toes seemed to flick lightly and almost inadvertently kicked towards the side; or rather, it was a hook and a flick.

There lay another member of Worries Relief Studio.

He had been severely wounded by Shadow Scorpion in an earlier fight, losing too much blood, had fallen into a deep coma, quietly lying there.

Precisely because he was too quiet, Zhang Shenyi almost forgot about him.

This incident tells us a truth—a person should never be too quiet before dying, otherwise, you’ll truly die quietly.

Of course, Zhang Shenyi probably didn’t really forget.

He was cunningly feigning forgetfulness, attempting to deceive Feng Mu into forgetting there was still a quiet..... living person beside him.

Unfortunately, Feng Mu was someone who valued life immensely, he wouldn’t forget even the dead, let alone someone still breathing.

"No—!!!"

Zhang Shenyi’s face changed drastically, his forward momentum was forcibly halted.

"Crack!"

The comatose member’s head twisted at an unnatural angle, his previously faint breathing stopped instantly.

Didn’t even have the chance to wake up before falling into painless slumber.

Then, picked up skillfully by Feng Mu’s toe, it spun, drawing a brief arc and flew towards Zhang Shenyi.

Zhang Shenyi made a sudden stop, instinctively opened his arms, catching the still warm corpse full force.
