hapter 1248 Domineering Men
With the Head Boss’s hand reaching toward him, Long Chen snickered mischievously and hid behind the old man . As expected, his gift of filial respect hadn’t been for nothing . The old man waved his cane, blowing away the Head Boss .
“Due to your own lack of ability, you take your anger out on a child? Can you feel the slightest bit of shame?” snorted the old man .
“Good brat, you have some guts to even scheme against us . Just wait, don’t land in our hands!” threatened the other bosses .
“Alright, then you can go and I’ll just drink alone with the old man . It just so happens that I have a few more fine wines I wanted to use to offer my respects . ” Long Chen took out several wine jugs, each one of them different . He intentionally opened them slightly to allow their fragrance to wash out .
Even ordinary people would begin to salivate upon smelling this wine, let alone the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect’s people who loved wine . It possessed a fatal attraction for them .
“Cough, what would be the point of just the two of you drinking by yourselves? Don’t worry, we’ll accompany you . ” The Head Boss’s fury instantly vanished in front of this fine wine .
If the old man wasn’t present, he’d have probably already s.n.a.t.c.hed them away . But he now thickened his skin to stick around .
“Hehe, just now I was just testing the old man’s unrivaled divine power . It’s not like losing to the old man is embarra.s.sing . In this world, just how many people are able to challenge him?” comforted Long Chen as he poured the wine .
He guessed the seven of them hadn’t been beaten like this in a long time, which had caused them to be irritated . For them to have been beaten in front of a junior was truly a bit embarra.s.sing . He hastily gave them a way out of that awkwardness .
That made them much more comfortable, but when they received Long Chen’s wine, they were now much more cautious . The memory of Tu Qianshang’s wine was still burned in their minds, and they drank this wine slowly .
It was because of Tu Qianshang’s wine that they had overflowed with a desire to fight, and adding on their desire to beat the old man, they had instantly attacked, which had resulted in a miserable defeat .
But these wines Long Chen had brought out were basically unrelated to cultivation, and were only used for the taste . It made them all exclaim in admiration .
Fortunately, the bosses knew that the Wine G.o.d Palace’s wine was exceptionally precious and couldn’t be consumed w.i.l.l.y-nilly . They all drank it slowly, savoring it .
After a few jugs of wine had entered their bellies, they had all relaxed and forgotten about their previous depression . Their mood continued to rise .
“Long Chen, you’re not bad . I look favorably upon you,” praised the Head Boss, patting him on the shoulder .
Long Chen was speechless . Why did this sound so off?[1]
He laughed and poured more wine for him, saying, “Head Boss, I suppose you stand at the top of the seven bosses . ”
“But of course . My t.i.tle of Head Boss was won through my own fists . For three hundred years, no one has been able to shake my position,” he bragged .
The Second Boss snorted but didn’t say anything . It was immediately clear to Long Chen that the ranking of the seven bosses wasn’t based on seniority, but based on whose fist was stronger .
“Then Head Boss, with your qualifications, you must be the strongest other than the old man . But why do I always hear people cursing you?” asked Long Chen .
“Cursing me? Tell me who! I’ll smash their heads…” But as he said this, he looked questioningly at the old man, clearly lacking confidence .
“What are you looking at me for? When do I ever curse you? Isn’t beating you much more satisfying?” snorted the old man .
Hearing that it wasn’t the old man, the Head Boss was at ease and his confidence inflated . He asked Long Chen who was cursing him behind his back .
Long Chen answered, “There are too many of them to count! Many people say something along the lines of f.u.c.k your daddy, d.a.m.n your daddy, screw your daddy…”[2]
“Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you want to be beaten?” The Head Boss immediately raised his fist .
Long Chen, who had long since been prepared, slithered his way to the old man’s side . As a result, the old man knocked the Head Boss’s fist back with a palm .
The old man chided, “What are you quibbling with a child for? Joking with you expresses how close he feels with you . How can you be so blind?”
“What the f.u.c.k?!”
The Head Boss almost couldn’t breathe . The old man was being a bit too protective of this brat, wasn’t he? What if he got used to that?
“Head Boss, please don’t get angry . I’m telling the truth, right?” said Long Chen .
The Head Boss thought about it and nodded . It was true that people often cursed like this . His name was truly a bit off . But this t.i.tle of his had been something he had fought hard for . He couldn’t just toss it away .
“Fine, then don’t call me Head Boss in the future . You can call me Boss Bao . Hehe, Boss Bao, that sounds very mighty too,” laughed Boss Bao .
The other bosses were indifferent to this and simply enjoyed their wine . To them, changing their t.i.tle was of no importance . It was simply there for a convenient ranking . They didn’t mind .
