Chapter 58 - A Gutsy One (2/2)

In reality, such a situation was indeed infuriating. However, he had yet to truly enrage Fang Tianen. His wrath, losing his cool, had come a little too early.

F*ck. He’s f*cking saying it for other people to hear it, for the emperor to hear it.

Since things had been escalated to such a scale, it was impossible that the emperor was unaware of their every act and move here.

“What am I doing…” Ren Jie looked at Fang Tianen and the people from the Fang family who had marched over valiantly earlier but were nervously surrounded now and suddenly laughed. “Don’t you know what I want to do? Your Fang family gave a false account of true facts. Didn’t I use my precious treasure to save your daughter? Back then, it was you Fang Tianen who came over to beg me. My treasure was valuable, but seeing that you were anxious to save your daughter, I agreed to have the Fang family buy it with five million jade coins to save her. You claimed that you didn’t have that much cash, but said that Chang Le Casino was a property of the Fangs that could be pledged to me. Then you brought out one of Fang Yan’s apothecary room, three silk manors that belonged to your daughter, and one of your own manors, together with a million jade coins and a middle-grade spiritual artifact that we’d long agreed on as compensation. Then I agreed to use the treasure to cure her poison.

“But what have you done? Damn it, old bastard.” Ren Jie suddenly raised his voice and berated. “You actually went to extort the gang leader of Chang Le Gang, saying that I wanted to seize his property and forced him to hand Chang Le Casino to me. Claiming I was the bad guy, you went forward claiming to protect Chang Le Gang and Chang Le Casino, completely appropriating everything that he owns. You had a good plan. Unfortunately, you didn’t expect Chang Laosi to be unconvinced of me taking over Chang Le Casino and gambled a few rounds with me. Finally, everything was revealed. Because Chang Laosi lost to me in gambling, he acknowledged me as his Master and your plot was exposed then.

“This Fang Yan wanted to kill my disciple in desperation and now you’ve led people to charge right to the doors of my Ren abode. And you’re still asking me what I’m trying to do!”

Ren Jie spoke, then suddenly looked towards all the soldiers around. “The war drum is a personal possession of my father, Ren Tianxing. There was never any rule stating what would happen when the war drum is sounded. However, before my father left, he told me, if anyone were to take advantage of me because of my age, I can beat this war drum. If those who went into battle with him in those days still have that life and death brotherhood in mind and still remember him, they’d be able to protect this junior just a little. Even if I’ve caused the biggest mess, I’d have them holding things up for me. Besides, my father Ren Tianxing also said, males of the Ren family can die in battle but should never be humiliated.

“I don’t know about any bullsh*t rules. I only know one thing. They’re bullying me for being young, turning matters upside down, and even dirtied my father, Ren Tianxing’s reputation, so I beat the war drum. Even if the emperor was here, I would say the same thing. Someone has bullied us right to the doors of my residence, why can’t I sound the war drum? If you believe that I have done wrong, you may leave now. Even if I am the only person left here today, as Ren Tianxing’s son, as the Family Head of the Rens, I absolutely will not take even half a step back. If you all dare to charge right to my door, I dare to beat all of you till you can’t stand up.”

Ren Jie then pointed at Fang Yan. “Just like him, beaten till he can’t stand and tied here to show everyone that Ren Tianxing’s son is a gusty one.”

Who were all these people who’d rushed here? They were those who’d survived after going through more than ten years of battles with Ren Tianxing back in the days. Ren Tianxing was a god-like presence in their hearts. Earlier, when they saw Ren Jie walk out instead of Ren Tianxing, they felt sad, and some people even felt very displeased. How could the war drum be sounded so jokingly? At the bottom of it all, it was because Ren Jie’s usual reputation had been too terrible, especially news from the morning’s court assembly and news that had been spread the whole of today.

However, at this moment, when they heard Ren Jie and looked at Chang Laosi who was standing behind him and that Ren Jie’s claims were backed by concrete evidence, loud and clear, totally unlike a casual statement, they instantly felt enlightened. That wasn’t it. Ren Jie’s subsequent words totally roused this bunch of soldiers who had been asleep for many years. Especially when he said “even if I’ve caused the biggest mess, I’d have them holding things up for me” and “Ren Tianxing’s son is a gutsy one”, it fully made these people flare-up.

“Boom…” The Qis of the Body Refinement Realm were activated, True Qis of the True Qi Realm condensed and exploded, and even powerful dharmic powers of the Divine Power Realm charged into the sky. Killing intent gathered instantly.

“Damn it, someone actually dared to slander the Marshal. Turns out dealing with Little Family Head was fake, they want to attack the Marshal.”

“Whoever dares to bully the Marshal’s son, I’ll be the first to kill him.”

“Don’t worry. Back then, if it wasn’t for the Marshal, I wouldn’t have been able to keep this arm. Marshal cured my poison and broke into the enemy’s camp three times. Although I no longer command troops, the three men of my Cao family will not allow anyone to take advantage of you.”

“That’s right, see who dares to bully you. Don’t f*cking mention it if we haven’t done it. So what if we have?”

“Kill them, why keep them tied up there…”

“Yes, a gutsy one. Good job, young lord. Good job, Ren Family Head.”

The entire square before the Ren residence and the surrounding streets had all blown up. Everyone’s righteousness and killing intent were triggered as they roared, returning to back when they followed Ren Tianxing into battle.

Because this wasn’t only fighting the enemy, this made them even more agitated than fighting the enemy. Marshal had left those words before he left, he was entrusting his child to them. Right now, there was someone who wanted to bully him. Damn it, kill him…

Who cares who he is, who gives a damn about what the matter is about.
