Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Zhao Kai was immensely grateful for the lesson that Xu Feng had taught him in practicality.

"Are you secretly the son from a rich background, Feng?" Zhao Kai asked in a joking tone. "This subtle intention of yours is really deep and without years of experience, it's hard to impart them."

Just when Zhao Kai wanted to continue his joke, he suddenly saw Xu Feng raising his finger in a flicking manner.

Realizing that, he quickly shut his mouth and retreated a few distance.

"Oh, you flee quite quickly this time." Xu Feng mused.

"Hehe, I will not speak nonsense anymore." Zhao Kai laughed awkwardly, clearly unwilling to let his forehead receive any more pain.

Additionally, he also understood it was Xu Feng's method of wanting to change the topic and not divulge further.

Despite this, Zhao Kai was really grateful to him, given it was in preparation for him to be ready to face the upcoming birthday party of his grandfather.

In this seemingly brief lesson, there were actually a lot of hidden meanings.

The nighttime in the sky referred to the people hiding behind the dark, always concealing their true thoughts while putting up a facade on the surface.

The monster corpse that was used as bait to lure was equivalent to the benefit, money, or anything of value that people always sought.

As for the Shadow Wolves, they are the people in the open who are being used as tools for those in the dark.

They will be the scout or vanguard, always treading the danger ahead and testing them firsthand. If it was safe, then they would be rewarded subtly, otherwise, they would face certain death.

This was highlighted and demonstrated quite vividly, with Zhao Kai being the prime person who was always waiting to shoot to kill.

Finally, the trap that Xu Feng laid was ultimately a resemblance to those who fell from the top.

Just like the wolf earlier who got caught and was immobilized. It required the help of its fellow wolves to get out of the trap.

However, not all people who fell from the top would receive a lending hand in times of crisis. Most of the time, those who fell would only fall deeper into the endless pit, forever abandoned and discarded.

And all of these always happened to people with wealthy backgrounds, rounding it up to the upcoming birthday party of Zhao Kai's grandfather.

There were definitely going to be different types of people attending, given Zhao Kai's grandfather's status in the business world, so Zhao Kai must prepare himself and be on guard at all times.

Although a bit late, Zhao Kai managed to absorb the information as he smiled bitterly.

Not knowing such information was a curse, but knowing such information was also a curse as well. After all, it meant he now had to dabble with the relationship of people very carefully from now on.

"So am I resembling nighttime?" Zhao Kai bit his lips and asked.

Xu Feng didn't answer and merely waved his hands to tell him to come closer.

"..."

Speechless, Zhao Kai instantly knew his question was wrong and attempted to correct himself.

"Am I the trap then?" Zhao Kai asked again.

Since his identity as the illegitimate status was quite well known in the inner circle of the wealthy, he could be considered as someone who fell from the top.

Alas, he was also incorrect again, prompting his forehead to turn even more red after a flick from Xu Feng.

"You were never at the top to begin with. So how could you be a trap?" Xu Feng rolled his eyes, clearly exhausted at his repeated wrong deductions.

Suddenly, Zhao Kai plopped to the ground and pointed at himself. With an aggrieved expression, he said, "So I resembled those Shadow Wolves earlier? I'm the one being used as a tool from those in the dark and testing the danger for them."

Exasperated beyond the limit, Xu Feng lowered his face and covered it with his hand, facepalming at his ridiculous choice.

If this was a multiple-choice question and there was only one correct answer out of the four. Zhao Kai managed to win the biggest lottery by choosing all the incorrect ones, leaving the final correct answer alone.

"I'm so done with you." Xu Feng said in a disappointed tone. "Since your eldest sister suddenly wants you to join your grandfather's birthday despite his many past years' birthdays, doesn't that sound fishy to you? Right now, you are that monster corpse— a bait to be precise."

"Huh? But what value do I even have?" Zhao Kai twitched his mouth, clearly unable to comprehend how he was a bait at all.

He was just an illegitimate son, with no right to any of the Zhao's Family inheritance. Even his money came from his eldest sister's generosity.

At this point, Xu Feng felt a huge migraine.

He already explained it quite explicitly, but Zhao Kai just doesn't seem to get it. Or maybe he just simply refused to accept such facts and was subconsciously denying all of it.

Thankfully for Xu Feng's sanity, some howling was heard from afar, prompting him to end the discussion early on.

"Whatever, let's return to our position and get ready." Xu Feng said, walking ahead without caring if Zhao Kai was following closely or not.

Silently, Zhao Kai scratched his head and glanced over the monster corpses that were scattered across. 'I'm a juicy bait huh. What kind of value do I even have?'

As much as he trusted Xu Feng's words, he couldn't comprehend what type of values others would drool over him for.

"Shadow Blade, are you going to stay there in a daze and ruin the operation?" Xu Feng suddenly said and pointed at the dark narrow passage.

"The Shadow Wolves are going to return soon with a squad. So unless you want to be overrun by them, you should start moving."

"I-I'm coming." Zhao Kai quickly responded, putting the matter aside for now and running toward him.
