“Master Hong, I am Wu Yanfei, my father is Wu Zhongtian. We have been supplying the Immortal Pavilion with wine since a long time ago. Can you please give me some face? We will leave and absolutely wouldn’t affect that VIP. Is it alright?” Wu Yanfei reported his identity, hoping that the other party would give him some face.
However, Master Hong didn’t even give him a straight glance. “Wu Zhongtian, that old turtle? Before me, he still has to prostrate himself. But you, a little bastard, want me to give you face?”
Wu Yanfei’s face alternated between shades of red and green. He felt extremely helpless in his heart.
Before Master Hong, it was true that his Wu Clan stood for nothing.
Xia Qilin and Wu Yanfei then turned their pleading gazes to Chen Jun.
Chen Jun’s Clan had some weight to throw in the underworld of criminals. Maybe, he could speak here.
Chen Jun had a grave and stern look on his face, along with a bitter smile.
His clan was just a small clan in charge of transportation. What was his clan before Master Hong? How would he have the qualifications to speak?
However, now that things came to this, he could only give it a try.
He braced himself and smiled. “Master Hong!”
“Who the hell are you?” Master Hong glanced at him.
Chen Jun hurriedly spoke, “This lowly one is the son of Chen Xiaofeng of the Transportation Gang. We are all people from the same path, and we belong to the streets. Master Hong, please show us some mercy.”
“Hehe, oh so we are from the same path!” Master Hong laughed strangely. He glanced at the Thousand-Drops Drunk on the table and spoke, “Sure. We will do things according to the rules of the street then. Each of you must drink a flask of Thousand-Drops Drunk. Whoever finished drinking it will go unharmed!”
At this moment, Xia Qilin and the other two turned completely pale.
“Master Hong, this…we would die from it.” Chen Jun trembled. An entire flask of Thousand-Drops Drunk, how could they who were at the minor constellation stage dare to drink it?
Pak~
The reply was a resounding slap.
Master Hong coldly spoke, “You don’t even dare to drink the wine but speak about the rules of the street with me? Men, go and break one of their legs each!”
A group of powerful guards rushed over like a group of wolves and tigers. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Zhao Churan’s beautiful countenance lost all color and became as white as snow.
This was the first time she came by herself to Lone Cloud City and one of her legs was going to be broken by someone?
This…what sort of welcoming reception was this?
If she knew this would be the case, she shouldn’t have come here.
Xia Qilin, Wu Yanfei, and Chen Jun were all so scared that their faces turned ashen. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, staring at the guards walking over, yet didn’t have the courage to retaliate.
At this moment, a calm yet forceful voice penetrated the room.
“You guys better scram now when my mood is still good.”
The guards turned toward the sound and saw a figure quietly sitting there.
This figure showed no signs of panic and was extraordinarily calm.
“Damn your mother, how dare you pose before Master Hong! Beat him up!” Four guards lunged over, encircling him.
What sort of character was Master Hong? How could a brat who didn’t know the immensity of heavens and earth speak this way to him?
But just when they were preparing to attack, a violent voice rang out abruptly.
“Halt!”
The person who spoke was none other than Master Hong.
His remaining left eye was filled with shock as he stared at the figure. After that, under the puzzled gazes of the guards, he walked over. Bowing with his hands in front of his chest, he apologized, “This lowly one’s eyes must be spoilt. I actually only manage to recognize Master Xia now!”
This unusual act caused everyone on the scene to be stunned.
Xia Qilin, Wu Yanfei, and Chen Jun completely didn’t understand this. Why would the gang leader in Lone Cloud City bow to Xia Qingchen and even have a respectful look on his face?
