48 Chapter 47. (1/2)

The twenty bulky men around me dropped their guns and cracked their knuckles like the true grunts they were.

Some were licking their lips while others threw lecherous glances at my wife. Strangely enough there was one muscular man who shot a strange look at me as well.

I ignored it. I saw nothing.

Just when I thought about making a move myself, it suddenly struck me like lightning. A true master does not even need to make a move to defeat low level grunts.

It was only now I decided to use my trump card. You may ask me, why use your trump card on low level grunts? Isn't that overkill?

Well trump cards were met to be used! I'm not a main character, so who cares when I use my trump cards?

With a serious and dashing look on my face I glanced coldly at everyone around us. I was completely undaunted by these little clowns that danced in the palm of my hand.

It was time to finally use my trump card.

I mumbled to myself so only I could hear, ”if I don't pay these guys, let the heavens smite these twenty clowns down.”

”Eh? Husband did you say something?”

Crash. Crash. Crash…

I won't lie, I jumped a little on the inside when twenty bolts of thunder rung out.

In the end, twenty men were left on the ground twitching uncontrollably on the verge of death. One youth was plopped on his bottom on the ground with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.

I couldn't help but think to myself, good job little brother heavens up above. Nice eyes.

It was at this moment my cultivation miraculously broke through to become a 6th realm semi transcendent. Is this what they call the legendary breakthrough during battle?

I felt smug and I turned to my wife and asked, ”how was it? Were you impressed by your husband's might? Are you amazed at your husband's breakthrough during a life and death battle?”

My wife had a bizarre expression on her face and it was clear she didn't know how to answer my questions. She just kept opening her mouth like she wanted to say something, but she always stopped just before the words left her mouth.

She repeated the process a few times before she managed to say a single word, ”shameless.”

”Shameless? Oh! You mean that kid? Right! He definitely is shameless, but thanks to him your husband broke through and narrowly defeated the enemies. Isn't your husband impressive?”

”Husband.”

”What is it my wife?”

”Are you really a mortal?”

”Naturally. I'm just a regular side character. I just used my hidden trump card on grunts is all. It might have been a bit of overkill though.”

When she heard how I boasted with pride, she pinched my nose and glared at me while she directed a cute pout towards me.

Haaah, it looked like my wife was to enamoured with my performance to voice her words of praise.

Anyways, it's time to deal with that youngster over there.

When my gaze landed on him, he trembled uncontrollably. I walked over to him and said, ”now child, you owe me 800,000,000 in compensation for trying to make a move on my wife, since it's not a nice number we will just round it up to 1,000,000,000. How would you like to pay off your debt? Cash or credit? I'll have you know I do offer various services such as liquidation of assets, loans, refinancing you name it, I do it all. In fact, if you act right now and take me up on one of the services I offer, I'll willingly add on an additional 10% to your debt making it a nice 1,100,000,000.”

”How does it sound? It's a good deal, right?”

”Sir, please, it was all just a joke. I swear! We were just kidding around.”

”Hahaha. Right. I'm really laughing right now kid. So, when do you plan to make your first monthly payment?”
