go?
How do I get there?
Even if they manage to escape this temporary headquarters, how can they escape the city of Malolos, where the Independent Army is heavily garrisoned?
Aquinado was indeed far crazier than he had anticipated, but also far more foolish than he had imagined. Yet, he actually dared to swagger in front of him!
ridiculous!
Chen Feng showed no sign of panic, a cold smile playing on his lips. His gaze swept over the frantically pacing Liu Heng and the gloomy-faced Connor, finally settling on the enraged Aquinas. His voice was chillingly cold: "Want to keep me, Chen Feng, here? Let's see if you have the ability!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly moved.
fast!
It's almost at its limit!
No one saw his movements clearly, only a blur flashed by. Chen Feng, who was originally standing in the corner, had already approached the main seat like a ghost. Just as Aquinado was about to open his mouth to call for help, his wrist was gripped by a huge force like an iron clamp. The cold muzzle of the gun was precisely pressed against his temple. The force was so strong that he gasped in pain. The command that was on the tip of his tongue was blocked in his throat!
"A fight to the death?"
Chen Feng's voice rang close to his ear, icy and chilling, "Aquinado, you dare to talk to me about strength?"
In the blink of an eye, the hall fell deathly silent!
Liu Hengfu stared wide-eyed, forgetting to pull away, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
He never imagined that Chen Feng would dare to take the Independent Army Commander-in-Chief hostage on the spot!
What if this madman ruins the independence I've been working on for half my life?
What I fear even more is that Aquinado's men might go mad, silence him and Chen Feng together, and then carry out a large-scale massacre of Chinese people!
Liu Hengfu's lust for power, which had been stirred up by the promise of easy gains, was instantly crushed by panic.
Connor's hand, holding the coffee cup, froze in mid-air, oblivious to the fact that half the coffee had spilled out. A deep shock flashed in his eyes.
Then, the memory of that rainy night, when Chen Feng single-handedly killed more than a dozen gunmen, suddenly flashed into his mind.
He thought to himself: It seems I worried for nothing!
Isabella looked up abruptly, her face ashen, biting her lip so hard that her fingers twisted the hem of her clothes almost torn, her eyes filled with terror as she stared at Chen Feng.
She was both afraid that something might happen to her father, and at the same time, she felt a strange mix of emotions towards the man who had rejected her but was now in control of the situation.
The gunfire and shouts of killing outside the hall suddenly stopped!
Independent soldiers, guns in hand, shoved and pushed their way to the door, only to be terrified by what they saw. They looked at each other, none daring to take a step forward.
With the commander-in-chief held hostage, who would dare to make a move?
One wrong move and you could face utter ruin!
Chen Feng tightened his grip slightly, causing Aquinado to break out in a cold sweat from the pain, but he was held immobile and could only grit his teeth and roar, "Chen Feng! You dare touch me? My 100,000-strong independent army will tear you to pieces and make the Chinese of Luzon pay with their lives!"
"One hundred thousand? You're just spouting nonsense!"
Chen Feng scoffed, pressing the gun barrel even closer, almost embedding it into Aguinaldo's skin. "You only have 30,000 regular troops at most, half of whom are stationed in various places to defend against Spanish counterattacks. At most, you can only transfer 10,000 to Marolos! This small force dares to challenge me?"
Aquinas, all bluster and no substance, roared, "Even ten thousand would be enough to blast you into a pulp!"
"Hahaha....
""
Chen Feng felt like he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and he twisted his wrist sharply!
"Snap!"
The crisp sound of bones cracking echoed throughout the hall!
Aquinado's right forearm dangled at an unnatural angle, blood quickly soaking through his sleeve. The pain was excruciating, but he gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared, "You dare cripple my arm! Fine, we'll both die! Without me, not a single Luzon Chinese will have a foothold in the Philippines!"
No sooner had he said that than a cold glint flashed in Pang Li's eyes, and his ghost-head dagger was drawn with a "whoosh," the tip pointing directly at Isabella's slender neck, no more than three inches away!
"To die together? You dare say that?!"
Pang Li shouted sternly, "Your daughter is still here! If you really want to fight to the death, make her pay with her life first!"
Isabella froze as the knife tip pressed against her, her pale face instantly draining of color, tears welling uncontrollably in her eyes, yet she forced herself not to cry out.
She instinctively took a half step back, her gaze passing over the blade, her eyes filled with pleading and dependence, her lips trembling as she whispered, "Father...save me..."

Liu Heng was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his face turned ashen, and he staggered forward two steps before suddenly stopping. His left hand was clenched into a fist, and his right hand was waving frantically: "No! Don't hurt Miss Isabella, she is innocent!"
Brother Pang Li, put your knives away!
Commander-in-Chief, don't be so stubborn! We're all on the same side, can't we talk things out?
Why target young women?
He was so anxious that cold sweat poured down his forehead. On one hand, he was afraid that Pang Li would accidentally hurt Isabella and completely enrage Aguinaldo; on the other hand, he was afraid that Aguinaldo would really abandon his daughter and cause a fight to the death, which would ruin all his life's work and promise of loyalty!
Aquinado's eyes burned with even more madness as he stared intently at Chen Feng, roaring, "Chen Feng! I always thought you were a tough guy, but I never imagined you'd use a woman as a bargaining chip! Go ahead and kill me if you dare! Let's see if you can even leave this living room!"
"Using women as bargaining chips?"
Chen Feng's sneer deepened, and he suddenly roared, making everyone in the hall's eardrums vibrate: "Aren't you ashamed to say such things? Who was it that shamelessly asked for a marriage alliance before, trying to use their daughter to bind me and control the Chinese in Luzon?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't loosen his grip on Aguinaldo's hand, but he signaled to Pang Li with his eyes to move the blade two inches away.
Seeing this, Aquinado's eyes flashed with smugness, and he roared even more frantically, "Go ahead and kill me! Kill my daughter, then kill me! Otherwise, the day I escape, I will wipe out your entire Free Army!"
"To annihilate them all?"
Chen Feng smiled coldly and suddenly exerted force on his wrist!
"Snap!"
Another crisp sound!
Aquinado's left wrist was also twisted off!
A sharp pain instantly swept through his entire body. The smug look in Aquinado's eyes was instantly swallowed up by endless agony. The veins on his forehead throbbed. He wanted to continue shouting, but the excruciating pain tormented him so much that he couldn't even speak. He could only let out a loud groan of pain, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably!
Connor approached slowly, a hint of helplessness on his face, and advised, "Commander-in-Chief Aquinado, why are you doing this? Let Chen Feng leave, and I can pretend today's events never happened. America will still support you in the future."
"Don't even think about it!"
Aquinado forced out two words through clenched teeth, his voice trembling.
Connor shook his head helplessly!
Now is not the time to turn against the independence forces. The Spanish are still entrenched in major cities such as Manila, and the US Army has not yet landed. Breaking off relations too early will not benefit the US in any way.
Chen Feng, too lazy to waste any more words with this idiot, dragged the convulsing Aquinado towards the door, the gun still pressed firmly against his temple, and shouted sternly, "Everyone get out of my way! Anyone who dares to stop me, I'll shoot your commander-in-chief right now!"
