1286 You Are Insulting My Character and Trampling on My Dignity
“w.a.n.g Teng, my time is limited and I can’t squander it talking with you. Have you thought it through?” Swait said coldly.
He was arrogant and was obviously looking down on our hero. If it wasn’t for Crofts, he would have never gone there.
As for the ongoing feud between w.a.n.g Teng and the Parkers, he didn’t take it seriously. A mere celestial stage martial warrior couldn’t possibly shake them.
The real reason why they had suffered multiple defeats by the young one was because the real powerful martial warriors had not made a move.
!!
If they did, not even a hundred w.a.n.g Tengs would be a match.
Our hero looked impa.s.sive, his face devoid of expression as he heard Swait’s words.
Round Ball had a bad feeling and said hastily, “w.a.n.g Teng…”
Before it could finish the sentence—w.a.n.g Teng had already responded. “I’m sorry, I refuse!”
He spoke out loud, without using voice transmission.
Since the other party was shameless, he had no need to worry too much.
He didn’t even fear the dark apparitions, let alone a Third Prince.
It’s over!
Swait was feeling confident at first, but his face stiffened by the response. He was livid. “How dare you refuse! Who gave you the guts?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” w.a.n.g Teng sneered and then said righteously. “Third Prince wanting to use favors to make me drop Crofts’ charges… he’s showing disrespect to the military court and the military as a whole. I, w.a.n.g Teng, soldier of the military and loved by the generals, am the commander of the Tiger Strike Force. How could I give all of that away for the sake of a mere favor from the Third Prince? You look down on me too much.
“You are insulting my character and trampling on my dignity.
“I, w.a.n.g Teng, will not do such a thing.
“Even if I were to offend the Third Prince and die in the process, I will defend the dignity of the military. Don’t even think about bribing me.”
w.a.n.g Teng’s voice became louder and louder, becoming thunderous in the end.
“You… shut up!” Swait was shocked and furious.
This w.a.n.g Teng is mad. To dare reveal this matter.
If people were to learn that the Third Prince was trying to cut a private deal, it would definitely make them think that he held the military court in contempt, damaging his own image.
Others would definitely use this as an excuse to attack the n.o.ble.
He was offending the Third Prince!
Even if others were to refuse, they wouldn’t dare to do it like that.
This w.a.n.g Teng is too shameless. Dignity of the military? Loved by the generals? All of it was to intimidate.
Huo Qiya and the others started fuming upon hearing this.
This person actually threatened our commander using the Third Prince’s name!
This is outrageous!
“…” Round Ball was stunned.
How is this possible?
This tactic was completely unexpected.
His ability to intimidate others is too good.
“Why? You dare to do it but you don’t dare to admit it? Is that all the dignified Third Prince can do, to hide?” w.a.n.g Teng said disdainfully.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, the Third Prince is an incomparable talent and a prominent figure. How dare you insult him?” Swait was enraged.
The moment he finished speaking—he suddenly realized what he said. His expression changed drastically.
Him speaking of the Third Prince’s involvement was completely different than when mentioned by w.a.n.g Teng.
Uttering his name was tantamount to confirming the latter’s claim.
He was basically confessing that the prince himself asked him to find w.a.n.g Teng and negotiate to drop all charges against Crofts.
Things look… bad!
“What? The Third Prince wants commander w.a.n.g Teng to withdraw his charges against Crofts!”
“How could the Third Prince make such a decision?”
“Commander w.a.n.g Teng is a true role model for our generation. He even dared to speak up and offend the prince, all for the sake of the military’s dignity.”
“That’s right. Commander w.a.n.g Teng is a true role model for us.”
“Commander w.a.n.g Teng has offended the Third Prince. We must testify for him so he doesn’t suffer.”
…
There were a bunch of martial warriors surrounding them during w.a.n.g Teng’s loud statements; everyone heard the conversation clearly. Given that Swait had confirmed the fact, the truth was exposed and they were convinced.
Swait’s expression was extremely ugly. He looked pale and was on the verge of vomiting a mouthful of blood.
“No.
“This has nothing to do with the Third Prince.
“I don’t know anything about any favors, there’s no such thing. w.a.n.g Teng, you are slandering me.”
Swait pointed at w.a.n.g Teng furiously as he tried to defend himself.
The matter couldn’t be disclosed to others. Otherwise, the Third Prince would definitely go after him.
“I, slander you? Then tell me, why were you looking for me?” w.a.n.g Teng shouted.
“I…” Swait was at a loss.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t give him a chance to think, shouting, “You can’t say it out loud, can you? You didn’t think of any other reason. Your sole purpose for coming here was to bail Crofts.”
“You…” Swait said.
“You? You’ve been exposed. Everyone, judge for yourselves; decide who is credible. Do I have nothing else to do that I would dumbly look for trouble and provoke the Third Prince for no reason?” w.a.n.g Teng said innocently.
“Commander w.a.n.g Teng is right. No one would provoke the Third Prince for no good reason.”
“Commander w.a.n.g Teng must have been forced into a corner to reveal this. It’s too pitiful.”
“This is too much… They’ve gone overboard. Not even the Third Prince should bully people like this.”
…
Everyone was filled with righteousness as they defended the rising hero.
There were others who merely witnessed all of this happen, but the news would continue to spread as long as there were ten people speaking up for w.a.n.g Teng. The matter couldn’t be covered up anymore.
Swait’s face was black when he saw everything go downhill. He gritted his teeth and glared at w.a.n.g Teng. He wanted to kill him, badly.
Cold words spurted out of Swait’s mouth. “You, you’re good. You will regret this!” He didn’t want to stay any longer, so he turned around to leave.
There was no point in saying anything else. It was the military; they would only believe w.a.n.g Teng’s side of the story and ignore him.
The man had to rush back and let the prince know about the situation so he could take proper measures.
“Who said you could leave?” w.a.n.g Teng scoffed.
“You dare to stop me?” Swait stopped and looked back at w.a.n.g Teng with cold eyes.
“You come and go as you wish. What do you think my Tiger Strike Force is?” After saying this, w.a.n.g Teng shouted, “Take them down.”
“How dare you!”
Swait couldn’t take it anymore. He was strong and talented, and was recruited by the Third Prince. Anyone who saw him would treat him with respect; however, w.a.n.g Teng went and humiliated him, time and time again. Since he was being trampled upon, he no longer needed to hold back.
Boom!
He thrusted his palm, and a dense constellation fire force was condensed into a palm-shaped image aimed to slam w.a.n.g Teng’s chest.
Capture the boss and the entire group will fall. As long as w.a.n.g Teng was defeated, the Tiger Strike Force would be unable to do a thing.
