Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

As soon as he said this, those team members with ulterior motives immediately nodded in agreement. "Indeed, since we are a team, and since we have obtained treasure, it should belong to the entire team. No one should swallow it alone, not even the team leader. Otherwise, it would be a violation of the principles of fairness and equity!"

"Yes, the team leader has always prided himself on being fair and just, so he shouldn't hog the beast core by himself. I propose that we take out the beast core and manage it together!"

"Hand over the beast core, we must hand it over!" In no time, the whole team was in an uproar. Under the deliberate provocation of Li Benzhong, those who had previously been afraid to speak up were now joining the commotion.

After all, this beast core was no trivial matter, and it was from such a fierce monster at that. Everyone was wise enough to know that absorbing and refining the beast core would likely lead to a sudden and rapid increase in one's power, so none could help but covet it.

Xiao Chuanqi spoke out with a heavy voice, "What a joke. The master risked his life to snatch the beast core, and while each of you were cowardly hiding by the lake, too afraid to make a move, the master managed to seize it. Now you have the nerve to demand a share? Have you no shame?"

Li Benzhong retorted sharply, "That's where you're wrong. Although we did not take action just now, we were on alert by the side. Moreover, a few of us had intended to act. It was only because Ye Feng moved faster. Therefore, he must hand over the beast core now!"

"You four, step aside. If you don't, we will not be polite any longer!" The whole team was becoming agitated, and under the instigation of Li Benzhong, some even showed signs that they were ready to come to blows.

Sima Zhantian shouted fiercely, "I'll say it again, whoever dares to come forward, within three steps, will be killed without mercy. Let's see who has the audacity to risk their life!"

"Sima Zhantian, how dare you, just a mere legion commander. Do you really think we are afraid of you!" Li Benzhong shouted back coldly.

"Nobody needs to be afraid. We must make them hand over the beast core today. Everyone attack together. With so many of us, we don't have to fear these four!" Li Benzhong incited the crowd once again.

In an instant, several men revealed their Objects of the Divine Path and then began to press forward step by step.

"Truly troublesome fools. Since it's come to this, I'll just wipe you out!" Sima Zhantian was completely enraged, and Fist Edge clenched, he was about to charge forth.

However, just at that moment, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Sima Zhantian, stop!"

At this, Sima Zhantian immediately halted, turned his head sharply, and asked, "My lord, have you finished with your breath regulation, are you alright now?"

Ye Feng nodded slightly, then with a flip of his wrist, the beast core appeared in his palm. He then slowly lifted his head and stared coldly at the team members about to rush forward, saying word by word, "The beast core is in my hand. If you have the guts, come and take it!"

No one dared to move forward anymore, and those who were cowardly even started retreating involuntarily. After all, Ye Feng's gaze was too terrifying, carrying an unmatched momentum that struck fear into hearts.

Li Benzhong swallowed hard, his legs even beginning to tremble. He, who had previously been shouting the loudest, now did not dare to make another peep, not even the sound of a fart dared escape him.

Ye Feng then went on slowly, "It's true we are a team, but it's not possible to equally share every treasure we get. That would actually be unfair. Instead, it should be 'to each according to his effort.' Whosoever has the strength and the ability to seize the treasure, the treasure shall belong to that person. This is the rule I've set. Does anyone have any objections?"

No one had spoken up yet, Ye Feng turned his head to stare at Li Benzhong and asked, "Li Benzhong, do you agree with the distribution rule that I have set?"

Li Benzhong had no choice but to stand his ground and stammered, "Agree… completely agree. The distribution based on contribution is utterly fair. Whoever grabs the treasure with their own ability gets to keep it—this is simply too fair, of course, I agree!"

"That's more like it," Ye Feng said with a slight smile, and then continued, "Just now, this Beast Core was obtained by our group of five people fighting and seizing it. Even if we were to divide it, it should be split among Xiao Chuanqi and the other four of us. Do any of you have objections to this?"

"No... no objections, that's only right!" Li Benzhong had to reply timidly.

The other team members, seeing this, also started nodding their heads and said, "According to the team's distribution principles, this is indeed how it should be. We were just not very clear on the matter, and in addition, we were misled by Li Benzhong, which led us to be confused for a moment. We hope the team leader will not find fault!"

It wasn't until this moment that many team members finally came to their senses. Upon hearing these words, Li Benzhong couldn't help but gnash his teeth in anger, but still dared not speak up.

Ye Feng fixed his cold gaze on Li Benzhong, and said word by word, "Li Benzhong, I know exactly what you are plotting in your heart, but I don't care. However, there is one thing—if you deliberately instigate again and cause the team to disperse, I will not forgive you. Don't think that just because you have Great-Uncle Zeng in the Xuanyuan Hall that I wouldn't dare to kill you!"

"Yes, I know my mistake. Please, Lord Northern King, do not take offense at my pettiness," Li Benzhong said as he kept bowing, his back now soaked with sweat.

Ye Feng snorted and then slowly stood up. Fortunately, when he was on the wasteland, he had prepared by collecting a large number of Spirit-devouring Ant Beast's Cartilage Crystals, storing the energy in the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, which indeed proved useful during the healing moments ago.

Otherwise, in the environment of the Outer Battlefield without the support of Origin Energy, it would not have been possible to recover from the injuries so quickly.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng couldn't help but look down at the Beast Core in his hand. Just with a slight sensation, he was able to feel the vast energy contained within the Beast Core, but that energy was extraordinarily violent, and it would not be easy to absorb it through common Methods of Cultivation.

"You three come over, let's discuss the matter of the Beast Core distribution." Ye Feng suddenly waved over to Xiao Chuanqi and the others.

Xiao Chuanqi immediately responded, "My Lord, there is no need for discussion. When you risked yourself to save us earlier, you put yourself in great danger. This Beast Core naturally belongs to you, my Lord."

Sima Zhantian and Leng Wuming also said in unison, "That's right, my Lord, you were seriously injured in order to save us. If we were to still claim a share of this Beast Core, that would be nothing short of inhuman. Besides, you need this Beast Core more than we do, and you have already shown us ample grace. We won't take it, not even if we were beaten to death!"

Ye Feng thought about it and then nodded, saying, "Well then, the energy contained within this Beast Core is far too violent. You wouldn't be able to absorb it in a short time anyway. Since this is the case, I will accept it!"

Having said that, Ye Feng opened his mouth and directly swallowed the Beast Core.

Seeing this, Li Benzhong couldn't help but snort contemptuously, thinking that just moments ago, you said the energy of the Beast Core was too violent to be absorbed, and now you swallowed it yourself. Who are you trying to fool? Of course, he wouldn't dare to say such words to Ye Feng's face.
