Extreme Almightiest Young Master Chapter 80

"What? Brother Lin Feng, you teach French? You even know French?" Lin Jie’s eyes widened as she stared at Lin Feng. Brother Lin Feng actually teaches French. Having been missing for years, how did he learn it?

"What’s so surprising about speaking French? If you want to learn it later, I’ll teach you," Lin Feng said, watching Lin Jie’s exaggerated expression and smiling lightly.

"Really, I’ll definitely come," Lin Jie blinked, cheekily responding to Lin Feng’s words, yet inside she was pondering whether she could often come to play with Brother Lin Feng in the future....

"If you need anything, you can also come to me." Watching Lin Jie felt just like watching a younger sister of his own, Lin Feng added another sentence.

"Thank you, Brother Lin Feng," Lin Jie looked at Lin Feng. Yet in her heart, she was wondering how Brother Lin Feng had spent these missing years. How had he not only become more handsome since his return but also completely lost that frivolous air about him? Something special must have happened to Brother Lin Feng; otherwise, he would never have changed so much.

Smart as she was, Lin Jie knew that if Brother Lin Feng had something to say, he would naturally tell her. So if he didn’t say anything, it wasn’t good to ask.

"Brother Lin Feng, what should I do if I want to eat your cooking in the future? After having your food today, I don’t feel like going to restaurants anymore." Remembering the dishes Lin Feng had cooked earlier, Lin Jie’s cravings emerged unabated. Having tasted Brother Lin Feng’s dishes, how could she have any appetite for the fare at grand restaurants?

"That’s easy, come to my house, and I’ll cook for you."

"Then I’m relieved. I definitely want Brother Lin Feng to cook delicious food for me in the future, haha." Hearing Lin Feng’s tone, Lin Jie truly felt the warmth of a family, and her heart also felt warm.

It wasn’t until now that Lin Jie truly relaxed her heart. Facing Brother Lin Feng who didn’t talk much but felt very safe, she always had an intimate feeling and wanted to chat and talk with Lin Feng.

"Brother Lin Feng, what do you usually do?"

"Go to work, then come home."

"Brother Lin Feng, what food do you like?"

"It seems I can eat anything."

"Brother Lin Feng, what color do you like?"

"Blue."

...

Letting her mood loose, Lin Jie asked Lin Feng a mishmash of questions, each of which she discreetly noted down, not even sure why she was doing it.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at Tianhai City Post and Telecommunications University where Lin Jie was staying. After safely dropping her off at the dormitory building, Lin Feng drove back home, knowing well that his family would be waiting for him to explain everything.

Upon opening the gates of his villa, Lin Feng saw his parents sitting on the living room sofa at a glance, no need to ask they were definitely waiting for him.

"Son, where did this money come from?" Zhang Lan couldn’t help but ask first; a few tens or hundreds of thousands she could accept, but this was several tens of millions. Where did her son get such a large sum of money?

The son had just returned home, and she hoped nothing troublesome had happened.

"Yes, your mother and I can’t figure out how this much money got into our house," Lin Yiwen stared at his son just as anxiously as Zhang Lan, because the sum of cash was indeed too large.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything bad to get it. Do you remember when I first came back, I told you that I’ve been on an island these past few years?" Lin Feng looked at the expressions of his parents, clearly understanding what they were thinking. Now that things had come this far, he might as well say a bit more. After all, there was nothing he needed to hide from his parents.

He just felt that some things were not necessary to say, so he didn’t mention them. But now that his parents were asking, he might as well explain.

"Remember, what about it?" Zhang Lan was puzzled by her son’s words. What did he mean by bringing this up? She watched her son intently without moving her eyes.

Could it be related to the years her son had disappeared? Lin Yiwen seemed to sense something from Lin Feng’s words but didn’t interrupt, listening silently on the side.

"Those two hundred thousand Euros and those bonds were brought back from the island," Lin Feng stated calmly.

"What? Brought back from the island?" Zhang Lan recalled that when Lin Feng came back, he did seem to bring a suitcase with him. Could it be that it was all Euros inside? But how did he come by these more than two million Euros? That’s a large sum of cash that isn’t just casually available.

"Is it the island you stayed on during those missing years?" Lin Yiwen thought to himself that his guess was indeed correct, it really did have something to do with those missing years.

"I did have a strange encounter on the island, and that’s where I saved up all the money. I originally had a lot more, but I could only bring back so much," Lin Feng added. He never spoke about the old man’s matter because the old man had told him not to.

But now that his parents were asking, he wanted to reassure them and decided to briefly share some details.

What? There was a lot more? That means these two million or more Euros seem like a small sum on the island, but the question is, how could there be so many banknotes on the island? No matter how he explained it, it didn’t make sense.

Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen could no longer sit still. Their son’s disappearance for those years was indeed a mystery, but if what their son said about the strange encounter was true, and that he had saved up so much money in a few years, what kind of encounter could it have been? That was on an island, not the mainland; how could it be possible?

Thinking back to everything about their son’s return, they looked at each other. They also recalled the changes in their son after he returned. First, his personality had completely lost its former frivolousness and had become calm and restrained. Then there was his astounding cooking skill, totally unexplainable, and also that he was able to work at a university right after returning. That was even more abnormal; when Lin Feng disappeared, he hadn’t even finished high school yet, and now after being gone for five years, he returned and was able to become a university teacher? Who would believe that?

All along, they were curious but had not delved deeper. After all, Lin Feng’s return was already an immense relief, and moreover, these transformations were all positive.

But today, everything felt so magical. Now they really wanted to know what kind of strange encounter their son had experienced?

Watching his parents deep in thought, Lin Feng casually picked up a fruit knife from the table. The knife seemed to come alive in his hands, dancing up and down, moving mysteriously like an illusion.

And when Lin Feng stopped, the apples on the table somehow ended up sliced and laid out, already peeled and evenly cut, without Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen noticing how he had done it. They rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren’t seeing things, only to find out... it was real.

"Whoosh!" The knife in Lin Feng’s hand flew out like magic, soaring straight into the kitchen nearby, crossing a distance of nearly ten meters and inserting itself into the cutting board, with the whole blade submerged except for the handle sticking out.

This... this...

Witnessing this scene, Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen felt a storm of shock inside them. If it hadn’t been for today’s conversation, she would never have believed what her son said was true. What kind of island could result in such a drastic transformation in him?

After thinking it over, the only explanation that made sense was that their son really had experienced something extraordinary on the island, as he claimed. Otherwise, he could never have changed like this.

In that moment, Zhang Lan thoroughly believed Lin Feng’s words. Their son must indeed have had some special encounter on the island to have changed like this. Otherwise, none of the past events could be explained. However, having weathered many storms, Zhang Lan also understood that there was a reason why her son didn’t go into detail. She realized it was clearer now and there was no need to probe further and make things difficult for Lin Feng. If he could speak about it, why wouldn’t he? There must be some things that were not convenient for them to know at the moment. It’s best not to press such matters.

With that thought, Zhang Lan suddenly felt much more at ease, only pride looking at Lin Feng. She never imagined such legendary events could happen to her son...

"If you encounter similar situations in the future, it’s best to let us know to save us from worrying. Also, with great power comes great trouble, so be careful," Lin Yiwen said, after seeing Zhang Lan’s reaction, naturally understanding what his wife was thinking. After a brief pondering, he still decided to give Lin Feng a kind request.

"No problem," Lin Feng assuredly replied. He could clearly hear his dad’s meaning—just let them know, so they wouldn’t worry excessively.

"Where did the other part come from?" Zhang Lan asked, pointing to the other cash and wanting to know the story behind it.

"Won it, in a darts bet with someone," Lin Feng replied truthfully.

"Won it?" Zhang Lan was truly surprised by the answer. Although her son used to be a prodigal son skilled in all vices, including gambling, since his return, she had never seen him engage in such things. So, what did ’won’ mean?

"The incident that day was quite complicated, but I really did win that money in a darts game at a social event. And I couldn’t possibly lose, didn’t you just see?" Lin Feng said, pointing towards the kitchen.

Looking in the direction Lin Feng was pointing, Zhang Lan and Lin Yiwen finally realized what had happened in the kitchen just then. If their son could do something like that, then playing darts would be even easier for him.

"You better not do that kind of thing again," Lin Yiwen said to his son after thinking it over. He still decided to advise his son, hoping he wouldn’t get involved in gambling.

"Son, your parents are only thinking of your best interests," Zhang Lan said, looking at Lin Feng. As long as her son was well, nothing else mattered.

Although her son showed great strength, they hoped he would do something else, where he could be stable and safe. That was the real deal.
