Lu Feng smiled and greeted Master Kai as he approached. "Master Kai, we meet again."

Seeing the hot-bodied female celebrity beside him, he instantly understood.

’Master Kai must be here to buy a house for this starlet today.’

This scene naturally stunned the onlookers again, especially the gossiping couple from before, who just stared at each other blankly.

At first, they thought Lu Feng and his friends were just a group of thugs. But now, even the general manager of Tianzhou Real Estate was being so polite to this man. How could he be so enthusiastic toward a thug?

Was that possible?

Anyone with half a brain would know it wasn’t.

That meant the man wasn’t a thug at all.

They felt a bit awkward, recalling what they had just said.

"Yes, and I’m already looking forward to our next deal, President Lu." Master Kai’s words carried a clear trace of courtesy. There weren’t many people in Tianzhou City he would be so polite to.

But the man before him had saved his kidneys.

If it hadn’t been for his warning, continuing to take that medicine might have cost him his manhood.

That was a debt comparable to having his life saved.

Moreover, it was incredible how President Lu had been able to diagnose his problem at a glance, especially when doctors at the hospital had needed a full battery of tests to reach the same conclusion.

Most importantly, he had investigated the man’s background, only to find records of a high school dropout who had been working in a factory ever since.

’What a joke!’

’A factory worker with these kinds of skills? Someone who could get his hands on a ton of gold?’

The background file was obviously a fake. This meant that the man himself, or the people behind him, were anything but simple.

"Master Kai, I was actually planning to look you up in a little while," Lu Feng said with a gentle smile.

’During this time, the base’s dedicated treasure-hunting team has found quite a bit of gold and melted it into bars. With a secure channel like Master Kai, it would be a waste not to sell it.’

"Of course, President Lu." Master Kai naturally knew what Lu Feng meant.

’He’s got more gold.’

The domestic demand for gold was still huge. It wasn’t just for banks; many critical industrial, technological, and military applications required gold resources.

Just then, Lu Feng suddenly frowned, his gaze falling on a man beside Master Kai.

He noticed the man’s eyes seemed to be locked on him.

The moment he saw the man, Lu Feng’s frown deepened.

He sensed a peculiar killing aura from the man—the kind that ordinary people didn’t have. It was an aura one only acquired after having killed, and not just one or two people.

He hadn’t understood this concept at first. However, in the game, he had noticed that people like Lin Jiao had a special air about them, different from other survivors, to say nothing of people in the real world.

He later learned this was a ’killing aura,’ an unavoidable byproduct of taking lives. Ordinary people couldn’t perceive it, but those who possessed a similar aura could always sense it in others.

It might sound far-fetched, like something out of a martial arts novel, but it was real.

As the two locked eyes, Master Kai had already summoned President Hu and said directly, "President Hu, this is President Lu, my business partner. You need to take good care of him for me today and make sure he finds a house he’s satisfied with."

Hearing this, President Hu immediately shook Lu Feng’s hand. "President Lu, welcome to Tianzhou Real Estate. Have you found a property you like? I’ll personally handle the paperwork to ensure you can move in as quickly as possible."

President Hu’s attitude couldn’t have been more deferential. After all, this was a business partner personally vouched for by Master Kai.

Afterward, President Hu summoned a manager, who brought over the most exquisite brochures and began introducing the properties to Lu Feng.

These were listings for internal properties.

So-called ’internal properties’ were the houses with the best locations, orientation... or the finest renovations.

Ordinary people would want to buy these houses, but they would always be told the properties were already sold. Even in lottery-style sales, they would never be drawn.

These types of properties were reserved for well-connected clients, people just like Master Kai.

Many people say that pre-decorated homes are often a rip-off, but it was impossible for these internal properties to be flawed. Otherwise, instead of building a connection, you would end up ruining it.

"President Lu, let’s get in touch after you’re done house-hunting. We can grab a meal together!" Master Kai said before leading the female star to another area to look at properties.

As soon as he sat down, he turned to the man beside him and asked, "Chu Chen, what was that just now? Do you know this President Lu?"

He had, of course, noticed his bodyguard’s unusual reaction earlier.

Chu Chen said with some surprise, "This President Lu is no simple man. The moment I saw him, I sensed the killing aura on him. He’s definitely killed a lot of people—far more than I ever did on the battlefield. I have a feeling he might have been to war, or at least participated in one. But that’s just a hunch. I could be wrong."

Master Kai was taken aback by this. "At his age? That’s impossible, isn’t it?"

But then he thought about the background check he had run earlier—it was basically a blank, fabricated file.

For some reason, he was beginning to feel that this President Lu was truly mysterious.

"Let’s buy the house first. We’ll find a chance to test him later," Master Kai said, then turned his attention to looking through the brochures with the female star.

Lu Feng was also looking at the property listings.

Yang Ming and Chen Bo were doing the same.

But the two of them were left speechless.

Because the manager from Tianzhou Real Estate had only brought out brochures for villas, specifically ones in a wealthy riverside district. They were all internally-managed, finely decorated properties available in various styles.

Obviously, for someone who knew Master Kai and was being personally handled by the company’s president, the Tianzhou Real Estate manager wouldn’t dare present ordinary properties.

But these properties, even the cheapest one, cost tens of millions, with a down payment of at least two million.

Chen Bo could afford it without much pressure.

He had run his own business before and had saved up some money over the years.

Yang Ming, however, felt a bit stretched. Still, with the 1.75 million he had earned previously, he could also manage the down payment.

They had brought their brothers with them, and they needed a place to house everyone until they found their own homes. A villa would be perfect for that.

The key was their belief that the investments they made with Lu Feng would definitely pay off.

They had absolute faith in Lu Feng.

So, both of them chose the cheapest villas available. But in this residential complex, even the "cheapest" options were far beyond what an ordinary person could ever afford.

Lu Feng was soon drawn to one particular villa. Or rather, it wasn’t just a villa, but what movies and the internet would call a mansion.

The villa’s structure consisted of three floors above ground and one below. It came with a two-car carport, a private four-car garage, and a private courtyard with a 10-by-10-meter swimming pool.

The villa’s balcony also overlooked the river, offering a direct view of the beautiful waterfront scenery.

Making love with your girlfriend on the balcony while watching the sunrise... that would be the height of luxury.

The villa’s surroundings were also excellent, with the property covering 2,100 square meters. However, the price was also steep, coming in at a staggering 70 million.

A 70-million-yuan house was a price that countless people couldn’t even begin to imagine.

Any man with the means, upon seeing a mansion so perfectly suited to his tastes, would absolutely want to possess it. It was the same impulse that made a man desire a beautiful woman.

This was exactly how Lu Feng felt. The moment he saw the villa, he knew it was perfect. Every facility and feature matched his aesthetic.

So, he chose this villa without hesitation and asked the manager to take him for a viewing.

The happiest person, naturally, was the manager in charge of them. President Lu’s group had selected three villas in one go, with President Lu’s own choice costing a whopping 70 million.

If they all went through with the purchases, his commission would be around two million.

It was practically free money. Of course, he also knew that a large portion of it would have to be given to President Hu.

But even so, it was still a huge sum of money for doing almost nothing.

Soon, the manager led Lu Feng’s group to the villa district to inspect the three properties in person.

The manager personally gave Lu Feng a tour, while two other sales agents were arranged to show Yang Ming and Chen Bo their respective villas.

After seeing the villa’s actual condition, Lu Feng was even more satisfied and decided to purchase it on the spot.

Yang Ming and Chen Bo also finished viewing their houses, were equally satisfied, and returned to the sales center together to make payments and handle the relevant paperwork.

At that moment, Master Kai happened to be returning with the female star from their own viewing. Seeing Lu Feng, he greeted him with a broad smile. "President Lu, are you done looking as well?"

"Yes, I found one I like," Lu Feng said with a smile.

Master Kai nodded and extended an invitation. "President Lu, it’s almost time for dinner. Let me treat you to a meal at a special place. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. As for the house paperwork, just let President Hu handle it and bring it over later. He’ll take care of everything."

President Hu immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes. Please don’t worry, you two. I’ll get it all done properly."

He was well aware of Master Kai’s influence. How could he not handle it properly? Especially since Master Kai himself had said so, he couldn’t possibly risk disrespecting him.

Seeing this, Lu Feng agreed. "Since you’re so insistent, Master Kai, it would be rude to refuse."

"This way, President Lu!" Master Kai invited Lu Feng, and they walked out of the sales center together.

Not long after, Master Kai brought Lu Feng to a mountain villa in the suburbs. From a distance, he could see many luxury cars parked there, each one clearly worth a small fortune.

Tianzhou City Target Shooting & Entertainment Villa!

The simple sign made its purpose clear: it was a combined entertainment venue, part shooting range and part resort.

Gun control in the country was extremely strict, but there were quite a few shooting ranges. These ranges usually had official backing.

The most famous ones were the Northern International Design Field and Modu’s Eastern Design Club.

Naturally, many shooting ranges were not known to the public. They were privately operated, catered to special guests, and were inaccessible to the average person, as evidenced by the luxury cars parked outside.

In fact, if you told an ordinary person that such shooting ranges existed in the country, they would probably think it was impossible.

Master Kai had brought Lu Feng here for a reason, of course.

’Chu Chen said this President Lu has killed many people, maybe even been on a battlefield. If he comes to a place like this, where he can legally handle a gun, he surely won’t be able to resist, right?’

’Someone who has really been in battle is bound to be a good shot.’

As Lu Feng and Master Kai got out of the car, a woman in camouflage fatigues stepped out of a nearby Rolls-Royce, leading a large wolf-dog that was also wearing a camo vest.

She was clearly a military enthusiast, though female ones were rare.

The large wolf-dog swaggered along, barking "WOOF WOOF" at everyone it saw, obviously indulged by its owner.

’The dogs of the rich can be pretty annoying sometimes.’

WOOF WOOF WOOF!

As the large wolf-dog passed by Lu Feng, it started barking at him as well.

Lu Feng frowned and glared at the dog. At that single glance, the big wolf-dog actually whimpered, lowered its head, and cowered to the ground.

"Baby, what’s wrong? Get up!" the woman in camouflage cried out anxiously when she saw her dog’s reaction.

Chu Chen, however, stared at Lu Feng in shock. ’It’s said that animals like dogs and ducks are afraid of butchers,’ he thought. ’That’s because butchers take so many lives that they accumulate a thick killing aura.’

’By the same token, a person who has killed many times will also generate a killing aura, and it will have the same effect.’

Chu Chen knew very well that the number of people he had killed on the battlefield wasn’t enough to build an aura so potent it could intimidate a hound with a single glance.

’But that man just now... with just one look, the dog reacted like this. Just how many people has he killed?’

Master Kai, who also understood this principle, couldn’t help but stare at Lu Feng in astonishment.

’This President Lu truly is no simple man.’
