Chapter 996: He Tried His Best To Hide But He Was Still Exposed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Cao Jiaojiao left, the place turned quiet again. The crowd stared at w.a.n.g Teng strangely. The men respected him while the ladies felt complicated.
This w.a.n.g Teng was ruthless. He didn’t give any face to this beautiful lady. He was destined to remain single!
Of course, some powerful martial warriors weren’t as shallow. A lady wasn’t enough to affect their judgment.
w.a.n.g Teng retracted his gaze from Cao Jiaojiao’s back. A contemptuous smile appeared at the edge of his lips.
Cao Jiaojiao had been insincere and fake from the start. To think that she wanted to make an issue of his relations.h.i.+p with Cao Hongtu, did she think he was easy to fool?
!!
Besides, the Cao family wasn’t worth four trillion. To put it bluntly, they might not be able to find four trillion in their entire family.
Who gave her the guts to ask him for some face?
So what if she was pretty?
After Cao Jiaojiao left, Cao Guan had no reason to stay. Andrais was glaring at him viciously and it made him uncomfortable. His heart kept beating like a drum. All he wanted to do was leave immediately.
Once the siblings left, Andrais’s expression turned worse. This was the final betrayal.
“Young Master Andrais, I don’t think the Parkers family is so poor to not have this much money, right?” w.a.n.g Teng looked at Andrais and smiled.
Andrais’s face turned green and white. His chest heaved up and down and his knuckles cracked loudly.
Anger!
Helplessness!
Humiliation!
…
All these emotions overwhelmed his mind. His face started turning red and his eyes bloodshot.
w.a.n.g Teng’s smile seemed to be mocking him, mocking him for overestimating himself, for digging his own grave, and for burning his fingers.
The gazes around him seemed to be making fun of him too.
“w.a.n.g! Teng!” Andrais gritted his teeth. The words were squeezed out through the gaps of his teeth as if he wanted to etch his name deep in his heart.
“Young Master Andrais, no matter how loud you shout my name, I won’t lower the price for you,” w.a.n.g Teng said casually.
Andrais was fl.u.s.tered. He wanted to smash the four trillion on w.a.n.g Teng’s face, but he honestly didn’t have this much money.
“Young Master Andrais, hurry up. Everyone’s time is precious. We don’t have time to waste,” w.a.n.g Teng added.
He called Andrais ‘Young Master Andrais’ every time he spoke to him. These few words stabbed right into Andrais’s heart.
To h.e.l.l with being a young master!
Your entire family is made up of young masters!
Andrais cursed in his mind. w.a.n.g Teng was evil. He wanted everyone to know that he was the young master of the Parkers family.
“You don’t have enough money?” w.a.n.g Teng asked curiously as if he had noticed something.
Andrais felt the corners of his eyes twitching. The words were akin to sharp arrows piercing right into his heart. He tried his best to hide, but he was still exposed.
“What a joke. How can my family not have four trillion?” Andrais tried his best to calm down. He sat on his seat to show that he was extremely composed.
“Pay your debt then.” w.a.n.g Teng glanced at him.
“Wait.” Andrais ground his teeth. At this stage, he could only pay the money.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t give him any chance. His strongest support came from his family, but the other party wasn’t afraid of them and continued demanding the money. He had no other choice. He was helpless too!
Andrais closed his eyes and connected to the virtual universe. He hurriedly contacted his family members.
I, Young Master Andrais, need money urgently.
The two universe-stage martial warriors shook their heads. The show was coming to an end, so they had no reason to stay any longer. They continued searching for ores.
The grandmasters didn’t leave, inviting w.a.n.g Teng warmly instead, “Young friend, why don’t you head to the Secondary Career Alliance later to complete the transaction for the Lightning Essence Insect? We don’t have this much money on us.”
“No problem. I believe in your characters,” w.a.n.g Teng replied firmly.
“You’re indeed big-hearted.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan laughed. He seemed to like w.a.n.g Teng.
An Lan: →_→
Act!
Continue acting!
He could tell that w.a.n.g Teng was putting on a show with these grandmasters from the Secondary Career Alliance. They were on the same side.
As expected, w.a.n.g Teng was a sly fellow. He wanted to use this method to deceive the crowd.
The Lightning Essence Insect belonged to the Secondary Career Alliance on the surface. w.a.n.g Teng had smoothly pulled himself out of the picture. No one would think that it still belonged to him.
What a good script!
w.a.n.g Teng glanced at An Lan and knew that he had guessed his plan. He gave him a meaningful smile silently.
An Lan: ٩(‘ω’)و
There was an unspoken mutual understanding.
“This young man seems well-versed in ores,” Sir Aeon said with interest.
The grandmasters realized his meaning. Oh right, was Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng well-versed in mining skills too?
This… was a little outrageous!
They knew that w.a.n.g Teng was a triple-field grandmaster. If he was skilled in mining, he would have grasped high mastery in four fields.
How did he do it at such a young age?
This was incredible!
Was this how a heaven-defying genius was?
“I was lucky.” w.a.n.g Teng waved his hand when he saw their expressions. “You might not believe me, but I have always been lucky since I was a child. I was able to find money on the ground, so I didn’t need my parents to give me pocket money. When I went fis.h.i.+ng, I didn’t need bait to catch fish… I just can’t do anything with my luck!”
Sir Aeon: …
The grandmasters: …
An Lan: …
“Hahaha, good luck is a skill too.” Sir Aeon laughed after a moment of silence. “Do you mind if I borrow your luck sometimes to gamble on rocks?”
“Of course not. I’m more than happy to help you. It’s just a bit of luck. I don’t mind lending it to you.” w.a.n.g Teng was extremely skilled at talking nonsense. Luck was a mysterious thing, so he wouldn’t make promises.
Sir Aeon was extremely satisfied with w.a.n.g Teng’s att.i.tude. He didn’t care what valuable ores he might get with w.a.n.g Teng’s luck. The important thing was, he felt respected.
The grandmasters’ eyes were s.h.i.+mmering too. Based on their relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Teng, it shouldn’t be difficult to ask him to help them choose a few ores, right?
After some time, the people from the Parkers family hurried over. Andrais had lost 4.2 trillion. This wasn’t a small sum, so naturally, it alerted many people.
Two people came.
w.a.n.g Teng recognized one of them. He was the heaven-stage marital warrior, Sinclamon, whom he met and provoked in the n.o.ble Family Consultation Chamber.
The other person looked a little like Sinclamon. He was bald like all the other Parkers family members and was tall and muscular. This was also a heaven-stage martial warrior.
The moment they entered, they noticed the grandmasters and the three universe-stage martial warriors with strong auras.
Andrais had told them what happened in the virtual universe, so they knew that w.a.n.g Teng had sold the Lightning Essence Insect to the Secondary Career Alliance. The grandmasters were extremely happy and seemed to have high opinions of him.
However, their pupils still narrowed when they saw this scene.
“Grandmasters.”
“Sirs!”
The two of them came forward to greet the grandmasters. Both parties nodded politely.
“Father, Uncle Sinclamon!” Andrais greeted them obediently. His face was pale.
“Yes.” Andrais’s father and Sinclamon were in a bad mood. They glared at him with disappointment and nodded slightly.
This stupid child lost 4.2 trillion!
They didn’t dare to play this big when they were young.
Andrais’s heart sank when he saw their expression. He was dead! There was no way to save him.
“Oh, you called your parents!” w.a.n.g Teng sn.i.g.g.e.red and teased him.
Andrais’s face turned black. He wanted to vomit blood. He was like a kid who got caught in a fight and went home crying to look for his father when he couldn’t win. Shame started flowing into his heart.
Andrais’s father and Sinclamon turned and looked in w.a.n.g Teng’s direction. There was a dangerous glow in their eyes.
“It’s you again!” Sinclamon glared at w.a.n.g Teng.
“Look at what you’re saying. I don’t really want to see your family. Young Master Andrais is the one who came to create trouble for me. Why are you blaming me?” w.a.n.g Teng shrugged.
Sinclamon frowned. He wanted to speak, but he was stopped by the other man.
“I’m Andrais’s father, Valteru,” the middle-aged man introduced himself.
“Are you here to pay your son’s debt?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“Y’all are still young. Isn’t it inappropriate to play so big?” Valteru asked calmly.
“So?” w.a.n.g Teng squinted and smiled.
Before the other party could reply, he continued, “Are you trying to welch on a debt? Is this what the famous Parkers family is like?”
“You do have a sharp tongue,” Valteru said calmly without a change in his expression.
“Brother, why are you wasting your breath on him? He must have tricked Andrais. We can just ignore him,” Sinclamon said.
“Don’t frame me if you don’t have any evidence.” w.a.n.g Teng said in disdain, “Andrais is the one who wanted to bet with me. I didn’t force him to do anything. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t play in the first place. Don’t you find it embarra.s.sing to run away from your debt?”
“You!” Sinclamon wanted to smack w.a.n.g Teng to death.
“Alright.” Valteru waved his hand and said coldly, “I have given you the chance. Since you don’t want it, I’ll give you the money. I hope you don’t burn your hands when you accept it.”
“That’s my problem, you don’t have to worry,” w.a.n.g Teng replied indifferently.
Valteru stopped speaking. He stared at w.a.n.g Teng intently with a sharp gaze. w.a.n.g Teng looked back without backing down.
“Brother!”
“Father!”
Sinclamon and Andrais called him when they realized that he wanted to pay the money. Valteru ignored them though, transferring four trillion to w.a.n.g Teng’s account directly.
“Let’s go.” He left with Sinclamon and Andrais.
“If you want to play again, remember to find me.” w.a.n.g Teng waved his hands behind them.
The three men from the Parkers family hastened their pace.
