Chapter 333: My Dad Is Here! Are You Still Arrogant?
Get lost??
Lin Bao felt a wicked fury surge straight to his brain. He was about to explode!
BOOM!
Lin Bao unleashed the full might of his Martial King aura, instantly enveloping Cheng Yuan!
Hu Minjiang and the others were caught in the aftershock of the aura. Their breathing hitched, and their legs felt weak!
Hu Minjiang and his friends looked at Lin Bao in terror. ’Could this man be a Martial King?’
’To think that Mingtai brought a Martial King with him!’
’They were so screwed now!’
Just as Hu Minjiang and the others were sinking into despair, Cheng Yuan slowly walked in front of them, shielding them from Lin Bao’s aura.
Hu Minjiang and his friends felt much better.
Hu Minjiang and the others gazed at Cheng Yuan with immense admiration. They could barely withstand the mere aftershock of the aura, yet Brother Yuan was standing at its very center!
’How is Brother Yuan completely fine?’
’Brother Yuan is just too strong, isn’t he?’
Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil and instantly saw the hidden weaknesses in Lin Bao’s aura.
As if taking a leisurely stroll, Cheng Yuan slowly walked toward Lin Bao. With each step, he trod on a weak point in the aura, causing it to gradually diminish.
By the time Cheng Yuan reached Lin Bao, the man had broken out in a cold sweat, his back completely drenched!
Lin Bao had a very bad feeling right now!
He couldn’t find a single opening in Cheng Yuan!
Moreover, he had the unsettling feeling that if he dared to make a move, he would suffer a devastating, lightning-fast counterattack from Cheng Yuan!
Cheng Yuan stopped in front of Lin Bao and said lightly, "You should be glad you made the right choice. If you had attacked me just now, you’d be a dead man."
Lin Bao felt the pressure on him vanish. He gasped for air, looking as if he had just survived a disaster.
Hu Minjiang and the others were completely dumbfounded!
’Oh my god!’
’Brother Yuan actually suppressed a Martial King?’
’One had to know, in the entire Dongshan Martial Dao Community, only the president of the Martial Dao Association, Hu Yidao, had just recently broken through to the Martial King realm!’
For the first time, Zhou Cong felt a sense of dread. ’In his attempt to suck up to Zhou Tai, what kind of terrifying person had he just offended?’
Mingtai was about to die from frustration. ’What’s wrong with Uncle Lin? How could he be intimidated by a junior?’
"Uncle Lin, you’re a Martial King! Even if you’re only an Early Stage Martial King, you’re still a Martial King! A Martial King’s dignity is inviolable! How can you be afraid of a junior?"
Mingtai’s words put Lin Bao on the spot. Lin Bao could have killed him!
Lin Bao said in a low voice, "Mingtai, it’s not that I’m afraid of him. I’m under disciplinary orders not to act recklessly in the Provincial City! I can’t get involved in this!"
Mingtai was speechless. ’A Martial King like Uncle Lin, who just serves as a staff officer in the rear, is truly unreliable!’
’A Martial King like his dad, who was forged in the crucible of war, was the reliable kind!’
Sometimes, it’s like "speak of the devil."
Just as Mingtai was thinking about his father, he got a call from Vermilion Bird.
Overjoyed, Mingtai quickly answered. Vermilion Bird’s authoritative voice came from the other end, "Mingtai, have you met up with Lin Bao? Bring him to the War God Mansion immediately. The War God is waiting to see him."
Mingtai replied with a grievance-filled voice, "Dad, I’ve met Uncle Lin, but we can’t come to the War God Mansion right now. I’m in a private room on the top floor of Wangjiang Pavilion, and some punk just crippled both my legs!"
"What? Someone dared to cripple my son’s legs? I’m on my way right now! I’ll cripple that bastard!"
With that, Vermilion Bird hung up.
Vermilion Bird’s voice had been loud, and Zhou Cong overheard the conversation. His spirits soared!
"Hey, kid! Lord Vermilion Bird is on his way. If you know what’s good for you, kneel and apologize to my brother-in-law right now! Otherwise, Lord Vermilion Bird won’t let you off!"
’Vermilion Bird is coming?’
Cheng Yuan grinned. ’If Vermilion Bird saw that the one Mingtai provoked was him, the man would probably be scared out of his wits, right?’
Cheng Yuan sat down imperiously at the head of the dining table and said nonchalantly, "Vermilion Bird is coming? Then I’ll wait for him."
The color drained from the faces of Hu Minjiang and the others, and they rushed to persuade Cheng Yuan.
"Brother Yuan, I’ve heard Vermilion Bird is extremely protective of his own! A wise man knows when to retreat! We should avoid a direct confrontation!"
"Brother Yuan, Vermilion Bird has fought in hundreds of battles, earning the title ’Army of One.’ The Xuanyuan War God himself said that the next Martial Emperor in the Southeast Defense Zone would surely be Vermilion Bird! We should really lie low for now!"
"Brother Yuan, there’s no shame in temporarily avoiding a veteran powerhouse like Vermilion Bird!"
...
Unfortunately, Cheng Yuan remained unmoved by their pleas. He just urged impatiently, "Waiter, why haven’t you served the food yet?"
Hu Minjiang and his friends were exasperated. ’Brother Yuan is way too stubborn, isn’t he?’
’He’s as stubborn as a mule!’
At Cheng Yuan’s urging, the waiters at Wangjiang Pavilion began to serve the dishes.
Cheng Yuan smiled and waved them over. "Don’t just stand there like fools. Come and eat."
The others exchanged glances. ’How can Brother Yuan be so carefree? Vermilion Bird is on his way! How can he still be in the mood to eat?’
The War God Mansion was very close to Wangjiang Pavilion. In less than ten minutes, a series of hurried footsteps echoed from outside the door!
Vermilion Bird stormed into the top-floor private room, bursting with killing intent, followed by several dozen of his Warriors!
"Who crippled my son?"
As he spoke, Vermilion Bird’s falcon-like eyes scanned the room. Whichever rich kid he looked at would guiltily lower their head, not daring to meet his gaze!
All the rich kids had only one thought!
’It’s over!’
’We’re completely finished this time!’
’I hope Vermilion Bird doesn’t take his anger out on us and decides to spare our lives!’
Mingtai was ecstatic. He raised his hand and pointed at Cheng Yuan, who was busy chowing down!
"It was him!!"
SHWISH!
Vermilion Bird icily whipped his head around to look at Cheng Yuan!
After getting a clear look at Cheng Yuan’s face, Vermilion Bird’s eyelids twitched violently! His breath caught in his throat! His heart almost leaped out of his chest in shock!
’Oh my god!’
’That rebellious son of mine, Mingtai! The person he provoked was the Young Master?!’
’No, I don’t even have the right to call him Young Master!!’
Vermilion Bird’s face darkened with fright. He strode toward Cheng Yuan, determined to offer a sincere apology and then punish Mingtai severely right in front of him!
’Perhaps, just perhaps, it would be enough to save his son’s life!’
This was the first time Mingtai had ever seen his father’s expression look so ugly. Mingtai was deeply moved. ’Does Dad love me this much?’
’Seeing my legs crippled, Dad actually exploded with such astonishing, thunderous rage?’
Supported by Zhou Cong, Mingtai stood up. With a sudden burst of energy, he hopped forward on his one good leg until he was in front of Vermilion Bird, pointed at Cheng Yuan’s nose, and cursed, "Hey, kid, my dad’s here now! Let’s see you act so arrogant! Get on your knees and apologize to this young master right now! Otherwise, my dad will definitely crush the bones in your limbs, inch by inch, and turn you into a spineless shrimp!"
Vermilion Bird was frantically trying to string together the words for a sufficiently sincere apology.
Vermilion Bird was so focused that he didn’t even notice his son hopping past him. It wasn’t until Mingtai’s insolent words rang out that Vermilion Bird snapped back to reality!
His heart dropped. He was so terrified he almost died on the spot!
"You little beast! Shut your mouth!!"
Vermilion Bird swung his arm in a wide arc and slapped Mingtai hard across the face, sending him flying to the ground!
After striking Mingtai, Vermilion Bird turned to Cheng Yuan, bowed respectfully, and apologized with utmost sincerity!
"Mr. Cheng, my foolish son has offended you. It is because I have failed to discipline him properly. I sincerely apologize to you once again! I will be sure to discipline him strictly when I get back! I hope you can give my foolish son a chance to turn over a new leaf!"
