Chapter 563 - The Red Sun Corp Attacks! (2/2)

Yet now, he had betrayed Qin Feng!

It was not because he did not know just how much potential Qin Feng had—he was merely dissatisfied with his current position.

“Wang Chen, the hell are you talking about? When I first came to Fengli, I worked my ass off. I worked the hardest and yet got the least benefit. You got all the favourite treatment at the colony while I am risking my hide defending out there! Has anyone asked me how I feel about that?!”

It took only one year for the lively young man to change.

“And now, after arriving at Fengli City, all of you have great reputation, position and wealth. As for me? I only get to be a lowly commander of a squad? I don’t even get to be in any position with actual power and influence!”

Zhao Xiang was quite mad at Fengli City. It took him a year to ascend to E3-tier from F-tier.

Wang Chen knew Zhao Xiang was irrational, magnifying the minor issues. Now, every small problem was a huge one in Zhao Xiang’s eyes.

At first, Zhao Xiang was just an F-tier. He was quite weak. As such, after being recommended to be a general, he felt as though he had chosen a wise, good ruler. He always said to Wang Chen that he was thankful for his luck in meeting such a good ruler.

However, right now Zhao Xiang treated all those “benefits” as reasons for his betrayal.

What a joke!

“You’re an aptitude user. If you want more authority, just keep improving yourself and become more powerful. Now you’re blaming everyone for not giving you a good position despite being so weak?!”

“Bullsh*t! If I have the same talent as you, I would work hard too. Yet, I’m not as gifted. Hard work pays? Pfft! Only fools would believe this!” Zhao Xiang roared out furiously at Wang Chen.

It was true though.

Aptitude users would be powerful only if they were born gifted. If not, all they could hope for was good luck and opportunities.

The unlucky ones would not be able to climb higher no matter how hard they work. Hard work would only pay off if they were lucky enough to be on the right path.

As such, not every hard worker had their efforts paid off.

“Then, you can scram! Open your stupid eyes and take a good look at me! Do I look like someone who’s born with a talent? And yet, I’ve climbed all the way here. If all you want to do is complain, then you can scram! What a weakling! A coward! All you know is to enjoy life and nothing else!” Wang Chen bellowed at Zhao Xiang angrily.

“Oh, I will kill you! Do you think I don’t have it in me to kill you?!”

After seeing the two men exchanging heated words, Tian Yan had reached the limit of his patience.

“Shut the hell up!!”

The sheer force of conscious energy of a C-tier ancient warrior overwhelmed the E-tier ancient warrior and D1-tier gunner in mere seconds. The pressure was so powerful that Wang Chen found it difficult to breathe.

“So, you’re Wang Chen? I give you one chance to live. Give me the Battlegod Token and be my guide in the Battlegod Shrine. If you refuse, I’ll kill you.”

Zhao Xiang said, “Mr Tian, this Wang Chen has a foul mouth. Let’s just kill him and be done with it. If you want a guide, I have a better candidate. That little wh*re Liu Jing is the right one for the job. Or, if you want, we could even get Xue Xingfu. That little brat is the Vice-governor of the city!”

Tian Yan frowned after hearing this. It was quite apparent that he too was annoyed by what Zhao Xiang had suggested. To him, killing someone was as easy as lifting a finger. However, if he could not complete his goal in a short time, this would trouble him a great deal.

Right now, he came to Wang Chen not because he was the best person to be a guide in the Battlegod Shrine but because Zhao Xiang had a personal vendetta against Wang Chen.

After realizing this, Tian Yan felt as though he was being used as a tool.

“Shut up!”

Tian Yan scolded Zhao Xiang before facing Wang Chen again, this time with a much more powerful, forceful tone, “If you don’t want more people dying in your Fengli City, I suggest you do as I say. Don’t play dumb with me. No tricks. No games. Stalling me will do you no good. And if you think your friends from the Floating City would attack me then you’re wrong. I’m standing right next to you right now. So, if they open fire, you’ll die too.”

An enraged expression crept onto Wang Chen’s face.

It was quite obvious now that this C-tier aptitude user knew the real reason behind him bantering with Zhao Xiang.
