The private matters between the two were of no consequence and Lin Feng had no interest in them.
He found it acceptable to listen to Ophélie and Dionna's stories, as they were girls and he was genuinely interested.
As for the two men, Lin Feng found their tales unbearable.
Therefore, Lin Feng promptly halted their diverging train of thought and steered the conversation back to the main topic.
With a shared goal and an opportunity presenting itself, the three of them eventually walked out of the room with smiles.
They also made a rough estimate of Zero's combat power.
In any case, it should not have surpassed the level of the entire multiverse.
After all, OAA (The Presence) was holding them down here, though Lin Feng did not reveal any information about OAA (The Presence).
With the three of them gathered, their chances of victory were high, so the matter was settled.
Luo Dà, Luo Yongtian's adopted son, also remained directly on the main planet.
Lin Feng took him to the central hall, summoned Li Xieqian and others, and directly announced that Luo Dà would temporarily replace the useless fellow who couldn't even kick out a single fart.
Despite their doubts, Li Xieqian and the others did not say much in response.
The plan unfolded in sequence...
Three days later, Lin Feng was basking in the sun in the central hall.
Ophélie was by his side, serving tea and fruits, while Dionna massaged his shoulders. His days were quite comfortable.
Ophélie pouted at Lin Feng's idle appearance, likely cursing him in her mind but not daring to show it.
Dionna, on the other hand, gazed out the window with a hint of wistfulness.
After a while, her hand stopped massaging his shoulders.
Lin Feng opened his eyes, yawned, and stretched lazily.
"What's wrong, Dionna?"
Dionna retracted her gaze and resumed her massage.
"Sorry, sorry, I just remembered some things..."
Dionna had just recalled her childhood.
Back then, her parents would often take her out to bask in the sun.
But ever since that incident, Dionna had been like a spinning top, constantly busy with revenge, spinning and spinning, and had not had such peaceful and leisurely days for a long time.
Lin Feng keenly sensed Dionna's emotional shift and sat up.
"Rest if you're tired. Your strength is of little consequence to me anyway..."
Even an excavator would struggle to meet Lin Feng's requirements for a shoulder massage, so Dionna was out of the question.
"As for revenge, you don't need to worry. Joseph won't live much longer."
"You don't need to know more. If you want to exact revenge yourself, I can replace one of the second-sequence members and let you do it personally, how about it?"
To Lin Feng, the members of the second sequence were practically dispensable.
Replacing one or two, or even all of them, would not cause any significant impact.
If Dionna wanted to take revenge herself, she had to become a second-sequence member under Lin Feng's influence; otherwise, she wouldn't even qualify to step onto the battlefield.
"I want to do it myself!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng, Dionna blurted out without hesitation.
Lin Feng cast her a surprised glance.
Luo Dà had been sharing some information with him over the past two days, with Dionna and Ophélie present. Lin Feng had not kept them in the dark; both knew that a faction leader battle was about to commence.
"Think carefully. Once the battle starts, I won't be able to look out for you!"
Dionna's combat power was only average, and it would be a stretch for her to reach the second sequence.
Moreover, her abilities were not suited for direct combat. In a leader battle, a moment of carelessness could result in a serious injury, at the very least!
"I'm not afraid!" Dionna replied to Lin Feng with determined eyes.
The word "revenge" had become Dionna's obsession for so many years, almost to the point of madness.
Lin Feng stared at her for a few seconds, sensing she wasn't joking.
"Alright, since you insist..."
Perfect, he could also replace the blonde middle-aged man he disliked. It was settled!
Beep beep beep~
A notification sound suddenly came from his wrist.
Lin Feng raised it and looked.
On his terminal, he had received an email.
Eggart? Or Luo Yongtian?
Lin Feng mused inwardly as he opened the email, his pupils constricting.
The large title contained only a few words.
The Seventh Faction has declared a leader battle against you!
It was here, the faction leader battle!
Lin Feng's lips curved upward.
Luo Yongtian had said it wouldn't be within a week, and the information was accurate.
Looking at the challenge email's content, it was very simple.
The dwarf from the Seventh Faction challenges Shan Hai of the Fifth Faction to a leader battle, to take place in three days.
Logically, with a faction between them, the dwarf should not have been able to directly challenge him. He should have first challenged Baor of the Sixth Faction and then, upon success, challenged Lin Feng.
But to receive a direct invitation now was likely Joseph's doing.
Isn't this just rushing to his death!
Lin Feng let out a sneer and pressed the confirmation button.
The preparation time was three days. Both leaders, along with five second-sequence members, would engage in a faction leader battle.
The battlefield was the ultra-durable universe where Lin Feng had previously killed Jin Henry.
After Lin Feng pressed confirmation, Dionna and Ophélie's terminals also chimed with a beep beep beep.
No, it should be all the black robes of the Fifth Faction who received this notification.
The leader battle between the Seventh Faction and the Fifth Faction was officially announced to the black robes of both factions after Lin Feng's confirmation.
Instantly, the black robes of both factions were in an uproar, with discussions everywhere.
The black robes of the Seventh Faction were first stunned, then their vision went black, and they began to curse without restraint.
They couldn't understand if this dwarf was out of his mind, suddenly challenging the Fifth Faction?
Who was Shan Hai? A recently renowned mad leader!
To suddenly challenge a mad leader? Wasn't the dwarf the one who was crazy!
In a leader battle, the losing side not only had the leader pay a price, but the entire faction had to contribute a certain number of years' worth of resources to the victor.
Where would those resources come from? Besides reserve resources, every black robe in each faction had to contribute!
The black robes of the Seventh Faction were already at the bottom, and the missions and resources they received were the leftovers from the higher factions, difficult and cheap.
Now, with this happening, were they still going to live?
In contrast, Lin Feng's Fifth Faction was much better off, and no one had any objections.
After all, the Seventh Faction had initiated the incident.
Moreover, there were two levels separating the Seventh and Fifth Factions. No one believed the Seventh Faction would win.
Most of the black robes of the Fifth Faction were laughing, mocking the dwarf's overestimation of his own strength.
However, some harbored concerns, believing that the dwarf's challenge to Shan Hai must have had some follow-up or trump card.
But it was meaningless to think about these things now.
This leader battle had come very quickly, and the three-day preparation time flashed by in an instant.
