Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer - Chapter 833

Chapter 833: Honor It
When Zhao Kai recalled the mysterious statement from Xu Feng, he nearly wanted to curse the latter.

[No worries, you can have more actions in the future]— Those precise words from Xu Feng were a clear indication that he was already destined to become a fighter.

After all, a fighter would naturally have a ton of actions during the City Competition.

While Zhao Kai realized how and when he agreed to participate, Zhao Xin was on the verge of thrashing her little brother up.

Did he not know the impact of participating in such a large-scale competition?

Everything would be fine if he won and placed great. However, the moment he lost and received a terrible placement, then it would spell a lot of trouble for Zhao Enterprise.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see companies fall because their sponsored fighter failed to produce results.

“Do you seriously want me to get a migraine?” Zhao Xin rubbed her temples and glared angrily at Zhao Kai. “Why must you take such a risk when everything is going well?”

“I-I didn’t…” Zhao Kai stuttered and subtly eyed Xu Feng to explain the situation. If he didn’t help explain the situation, then it wouldn’t be surprising for him to be in the hospital bed soon.

Zhao Xin’s true rage was not something anyone could endure.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng understood that he was being somewhat out of hand in this matter. Thus, he took the time to explain when and how he swindled Zhao Kai into agreeing.

A few minutes later, Zhao Xin finally understood why he was generous in sending her such early access information.

She gnashed her teeth and tried her best to suppress her rage from exploding.

“You’re really something else, Feng.” She commented. Usually, such words were meant as praise, but in this circumstance, it was a sarcastic remark. One that meant the complete opposite of its original intent.

However, Xu Feng acted oblivious and thanked the comment as if it were genuine praise.

“Thank you,” he responded gracefully. “It really wasn’t easy to set up layered traps to get Kai. But as the Zhao Family, they were always one to honor their promises, right?”

“…”

Zhao Xin was rendered speechless when Xu Feng used their family name.

Credibility and integrity were something the Zhao Family valued heavily.

Once a promise was given, they would fulfill it no matter what. That was how their Zhao Family managed to rise in the social pyramid and became someone respected in the circle.

Naturally, she could still deny such a promise ever happened, granted verbal agreement was hard to prove.

Unfortunately, now that they entered an official partnership and even signed the contract. It would be ridiculous to try to lie and brush it aside.

“You were actually the one eager to sign the partnership but made it in a scene where I’m the desperate one.” Zhao Xin truly regretted her impulsive decision previously.

Who would have thought her intention and desire were being schemed along as well?

“Well, I wouldn’t say I’m that good at scheming.” Xu Feng shook his head and didn’t dare to take credit for something he didn’t plan.

“I was indeed having trouble on how to establish the deal, but thanks to the proposal I received. I simply made use of it and came up with an impromptu plan.” He continued, explaining his innocence.

The fact remained that he was still just a human. He was not god or omnipotent to know everything.

All he did was capitalize on the information given to him and construct a clever ploy to utilize it to the maximum.

Unamused, Zhao Xin wanted to rip her contract to pieces, but also couldn’t do it. After all, the contract terms were still highly beneficial to them.

She didn’t mind losing a few on the loot split, granted she could always have them earn more. Additionally, the revenue she earned daily from the Dark Legion was enough to surpass her competitors.

And now that she could even gain early access to the town along with information that she didn’t need to waste her time to investigate. She could pull a fast one and soar at a greater height.

Having weighed the pros and cons, Zhao Xin ultimately forgave Xu Feng and shifted her attention to Zhao Kai.

“Since you made a bet, then you must honor it. I doubt my little brother is the same as my two eldest brothers, right?” She commented.

Feeling dumbfounded, Zhao Kai knew that the decision had been made already. Unless he wanted to be connected to his damnable two elder half-brothers, then he could only resign to his miserable fate.

To be honest though, he didn’t mind being able to escape from paperwork.

The paperwork was always filled with professional terms just to look good on the surface.

Take the word collaborative. They could have simply said team up to simplify things, but no, they wanted to sound fancy.

It was so pretentious that Zhao Kai felt as if he was embroiled in a constant false society.

“I don’t want to be a party pooper, but my skills are mediocre.” Zhao Kai raised his hands in surrender. “Besides the school competition level, I haven’t been fighting a lot. My skills are definitely inadequate when compared to those trained fighters who dedicated their entire life to fighting.”

“Little Kai, I don’t know what to say besides your brain being stupid.” Zhao Xin suddenly exclaimed.

“Your buddy over here must have known from the start and taught you that ghost-like movement skill that he displayed back then at Grandfather’s birthday party.” She continued, referring to the time when Xu Feng displayed his Phantom Step.

Those undetectable movement speeds had caught her and Zhao Gaofu by surprise. If it weren’t for that, then she was afraid her grandfather wouldn’t have welcomed Zhao Kai back to the main family.

Meanwhile, Zhao Kai finally came to a realization. Indeed, he had been taught the inferior version from the beginning by Xu Feng. However, he never thought much about it until now.

“How could you scheme against your brother for this long, Feng?” Zhao Kai cried aloud and felt saddened by the discovery.
