Chapter 223 - Biggies Horrifying Combat Effectiveness (1/2)

A young man in his early twenties, dressed in fancy clothes, entered the tavern and shouted arrogantly, “Who’s Gu Ding?!”

Gu Ding looked at the man, whose Gene Level did not seem very high.

Gu Ding leaped off his barstool. “I’m Gu Ding. How can I help you?”

“I heard your bounty is set at 2.8 billion Universe Credits?” As the young man studied Gu Ding, he could not help thinking that the young man in front of him did not look like someone with a high bounty price.

“Hey, can’t you go and see the bounty yourself?” Lilliath retorted.

“Who are you? I’m talking to your captain; can you just butt in like that?” The young man seemed to look down on Lilliath and gave her a sideways glance.

Lilliath dashed and appeared beside him in a flash. The muzzle of her sniper cannon was aimed at his head. “The bullet in this gun is an armor-piercing bullet made of a special material, and with my special primary power, a Rank-12 Gene Body’s head can burst instantly at such close range. Am I allowed to interrupt now?”

“You… You…” The young man was petrified. He had not expected the little girl, who looked the youngest, to be so fierce. However, he still seemed pretty confident. “Do you know who I am?”

“That’s right. Status still matters even when you become a corpse” Lilliath smirked–she was clearly being sarcastic. In terms of status, few second-generation rich kids in the Cosmic Sea could match her.

“I… I… I’m telling you, you… Your behavior is… is a death threat. I… I can sue you.” The man stopped playing the status card, he shifted over to the law.

“Are you still asleep or have you drunk too much? Come on, we’re Interstellar Pirates and we’re wanted offenders. If Federation Law had any power over us, we’d be locked up for thousands of years already,” Lilliath lectured and patted his face.

“Alright, Lili, let him talk.” Gu Ding saw his arrogance subdued and wondered what he was here for.

Lilliath withdrew her gun and sat down in her seat.

“Well, everybody…” The young man sounded distinctly polite. “I’m from the Childe family. Our young master admires Mr…Gu Ding very much. So, I’d like to invite Mr. Gu Ding to his rites of passage and challenge him while he’s there. Of course, he’s still young, so he’s very competitive. He wants Mr. Gu Ding to challenge and let him win. He will pay Mr. Gu Ding handsomely afterward.”

“How handsome is this compensation?” Gu Ding asked with a smile rather than an immediate refusal.

“I don’t know about that. I think you will be pleased, Mr. Gu Ding.” The young man replied with a smile.

“Why me? There must be a lot more people with bounties higher than me who’re willing to do this, right?” Gu Ding asked a question that confused him slightly.

“All I know is that there are two main reasons. First, your age is the closest to our young master’s age. The second reason is that the young master has an older sister who is very close to him and has just turned sixteen. She thinks highly of you and adores you.”

“An older sister that just turned sixteen? Then he’s holding a sixteen-year old’s rites of passage?” Gu Ding asked, somewhat incredulously.

“Master has twenty-three wives, so…” The young man explained in embarrassment.

“Oh, I see.” Gu Ding only understood when he heard this explanation.

“What do you think, Mr. Gu Ding?” The young man asked.

“Tell your young master that if he intends to fight fairly with me, I am very willing to accept the challenge. As for this situation, I can only say: Sorry, I’m not interested!” Gu Ding rejected.

“In that case, I shall have to take Mr. Gu Ding away by force.” The young man said and whistled.

Through the door came four men dressed as bodyguards–they were clad in professional-looking black suits and wore frightening shades. They stood behind the young man.

“It’s the young master’s orders. I can’t help it. I’m sorry!” The young man said and pointed his finger at Gu Ding. “Take him away.”

The four bodyguards immediately approached Gu Ding.

Biggie picked up his saber, leaving a shallow mark on the ground. “Whoever crosses that line, dies!”

It was a simple statement, but there was something distinctive in his voice. The four bodyguards were stunned by Biggie’s authoritative stance. Then they noticed that Biggie’s Gene Level had not reached demigod level and that all four of them were Peak Rank-13 Gene Body powerhouses. Even if the guy who just spoke was a Rank-13 Gene Body, they had nothing to fear. Therefore, they chose to ignore Biggie’s warning.
