19 Manager Lu (1/2)

Chapter 18: Manager Lu

Bai Lin turned towards his lackeys and pointed towards Van.

”Teach him a lesson.”

The four lackeys hesitated for a bit before realizing the intensities of their leader's anger. They shot forward and started throwing out their Martial Techniques.

”Vortex Fist: 5th Form, Hurricane Torrent!”

”Darkness Descends!”

”Raging River!”

”Volcanic Eruption!”

Surprisingly, the four lackeys were quite strong. But if you considered the fact that they were the young elites of Potent River Sect, it wasn't as surprising anymore.

Van calmly stood in his spot with an amused expression.

”I haven't fought much and my body hasn't really gotten used to this new power, yet. So let's try this!”

Van threw out a Void Fist with his full cultivation base, making sure to confuse the Qi fluctuations. He withheld a bit of his power to make sure that the Outer Sect disciples weren't too heavily injured.

Previously, the guard captain was sitting in the corner nervously watching the situation play out. The young elites were at the 10th Stage of Body Fortification. After all, they were chosen to be the guards of the silkpants, Bai Lin.

The four lackeys were sent flying in different directions all of them eventually impacted something that stopped them from flying any further. The first two were in severe shape with many ribs cracked and their legs broken. The last two were in better shape with only an arm broken. That is if you didn't consider the little bit of internal bleeding.

Van smiled wryly as he heard the moans and groans of the four lackeys rolling on the ground. He should've withheld more power. He saw Bai Lin shaking in fear in front of him and the guard captain finally coming over to curry some favor with Van while he could.

”I thought you were going to teach me a lesson?”

Van stood there like a lonely hero with his head up and his hands behind his back. Bai Lin had a strange expression that quickly turned back to one of fear. Bai Lin was sweating quite intensively as he watched Van stand there with his piercing eyes. He gulped and started to make excuses.

”Ww.w.w.what Lesson? That was my lackeys' ideas! Senior! Don't get the wrong ideas!”

”Hey! You told us to...”

The lackeys were suddenly silenced and Bai Lin made sure that they couldn't talk for a while.

”See! Problem solved! Senior, I apologize for the trouble these four might have caused.”

Bai Lin started to smile nervously. Van looked at this situation agape.

This silkpants is really vicious. Even beating up his own men for his own personal benefit. Van sighed, it wasn't like this was an irresolvable issue between two parties that required a fight to the death so Van decided to let the kid off.

”Your apology sounds relatively sincere. Try not to trouble your betters next time.”

Van walked back into the carriage and was showered by praises from the guard captain every step of the way.

Bai Lin let out a relieved breath as he watched Van's carriage land on Manager Lu's guest flying platform. He then turned back to the four lackeys.

”Don't cause trouble for me! You hear that! Next time you try to, I'm sending you to Potent River's 1,000 Toxic Snake Valley!”
