Chapter 298: Chapter 164. Scientific Genius_2
Yan Fei turned around to look at the tall and thin journalist and said coldly, “Are you a South Korean journalist?”
The tall and thin journalist said proudly, “Yes, I am Gao Zhongyi, a journalist from South Korea’s SBS TV Station. I just want to know if Mr. Yan Fei dares to accept the challenge from our Taekwondo Alliance.”
Yan Fei suddenly laughed, “I understand now. You guys are fixated on me not only because I’ve beaten your Taekwondo experts. It’s also because I’m now famous and successful; or perhaps it can be said that I’m the richest and most famous person practicing Chinese Kung Fu. If you defeat me, you can boast everywhere that Taekwondo is the best in the world, which will help you promote Taekwondo all over the world. You are riding on my coattails, latching onto the wealthy.”
Listening to Yan Fei’s humorous remarks, the Chinese journalists burst into laughter. With Yan Fei’s current status, how could he possibly fight for a bit of money? Yan Fei’s strength lies in making money, not in martial arts. The South Korean’s challenge letter was indeed just to create a sensation.
Gao Zhongyi’s face turned red with anger as he said, “It seems that Chinese Kung Fu is all bark and no bite. Among 1.3 billion people, you can’t even find one person who can fight. Moreover, those practicing Chinese Kung Fu are great at talking big, but in reality, they are cowards, too scared to even agree to a normal sparring challenge. If I were Chinese, I would be ashamed of you.”
Unmoved by Gao Zhongyi’s provocative words, Yan Fei unscrewed the cap of his mineral water bottle and began to drink. Suddenly, he coughed, spraying the water from his mouth all over Gao Zhongyi’s face. Then Yan Fei coughed violently, the severe coughing making him unable to straighten his back. Lu Pingping immediately came forward to rub Yan Fei’s back, helping him to stop coughing.
This sudden bout of coughing left Yan Fei’s face flushed. In the end, he even coughed up a chunk of blood-stained sputum. However, the location of the sputum was very concealed, and it was immediately stepped on by Yan Fei’s foot, unseen by others.
With Lu Pingping’s help, Yan Fei finally stopped coughing, straightened his back, and stared expressionlessly at Gao Zhongyi, “I’m the Chairman of Dream Technology, with millions of dollars at stake every minute. Do you think I would fight in the ring for a mere two billion US Dollars? So I advise you to be more realistic and challenge other Chinese experts instead!”
The South Korean man named Gao Zhongyi, who Yan Fei had sprayed with water, was initially upset. But seeing Yan Fei gasping for breath and continuously coughing, and since he was the only person who saw the blood-stained sputum Yan Fei had stepped on, a smug smile appeared on his face as he mocked, “You talk a good game, but in the end, you’re just covering up the cowardice in your heart. Yan Fei, you are a well-known figure now, yet you dare not face the challenge of our South Korean martial artists. I am ashamed for the world of Chinese martial arts.”
Veins popped on Yan Fei’s forehead as he said discontentedly, “Your two billion US Dollar prize is too little. Unless you can put up three billion US Dollars for a bet, I won’t agree to compete with you.”
Gao Zhongyi immediately responded, “I will take Mr. Yan Fei’s words back to the World Taekwondo Promotion Alliance at once. If we really do come up with a prize of three billion US Dollars, I hope you won’t go back on your word and agree to fight our Taekwondo master.”
Yan Fei looked somewhat unconvinced, but still said, “Talk to me again when you’ve raised that much money!”
Gao Zhongyi said, “Mr. Yan Fei, it would be best to give a definite answer. Otherwise, if we manage to raise that much money and you regret it later, wouldn’t we be at a huge loss?”
Yan Fei, somewhat dissatisfied, said, “Fine, I promise right here that once you have the three billion US Dollars, I will fight you.”
Having said this, Yan Fei left the journalists behind, protected by his bodyguards, without looking back. Once away from the journalists, Lu Pingping said worriedly, “Fei, what is your status now? Why bother getting entangled with these martial artists? And it seems there’s something wrong with your health; it would be troublesome if you were to be harmed in a fight.”
Yan Fei glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, his complexion immediately returned to normal, and he stopped gasping for breath. He laughed and said, “Pingping, do you really think I’m that foolish, to just casually go up there and compete? All of those symptoms I just had were fake. I intentionally let that South Korean journalist see the blood sputum. I want to show the opponents that I’m having health issues now, with the aim of making them eager to challenge me. It’s a long con. But if they are really willing to put up three billion US Dollars for a bet, then I might step into the ring and have a match with them. I am confident in my strength and sure that I can defeat the opponent, so I’m fairly certain that the three billion US Dollars will end up in my pocket. With that much money, think of all the things we could do!”
Lu Pingping said dissatisfyingly, “It’s in your men’s nature to love gambling and taking risks. Wouldn’t it be better to focus on stable growth? It’s easy to say if you win, but what if you fail?”
Yan Fei’s eyes showed strong confidence as he said, “Pingping, trust me, there are very few people in this world who can defeat me in a head-on fight, and among those who can, there are definitely no South Koreans. So I am confident in the outcome of the match, the South Korean’s Taekwondo World Promotion League is just coming to give me money.”
