Chapter 1422: You Have No Right to Demand an Explanation From My Young Master
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment the expert from the Ding family finished speaking, the clear voice spoke again. “If the Ding family wants to investigate, you can do so right now. You don’t have to wait until later to produce a report.”
The Ding family’s expert glared at Lin Yuan and sneered. “You set the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce’s tree castle on fire for no good reason. Your feys also killed three of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce’s Diamond/Fantasy feys and injured the three king-cla.s.s experts. You need to provide the Ding family with an explanation.”
Liu Jie snapped, “Provide the Ding family with an explanation? What gives you the right to demand an explanation from my Young Master? Do you think you can go around lording over everyone just because you’re from a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master family?”
The Ding family’s expert’s words had been a warning to Lin Yuan not to dwell on the matter any further.
However, Liu Jie’s words had completely smashed any hope of taking the soft approach. His words did not carry a shred of respect for the Ding family and had essentially been a slap across their faces.
!!
The two experts from the Ding family were enraged by what Liu Jie said and readied themselves to summon their feys.
At that moment, two b.a.l.l.s of fire materialized in front of the two emperor-cla.s.s experts from the Ding family.
The two emperor-cla.s.s experts felt their limbs turn as cold as ice and cold sweat soaked through their clothes almost immediately.
The two b.a.l.l.s of fire could burn all of them to ashes, and it would be of no help even if they summoned their feys.
This meant an unbelievably strong expert was next to the young man dressed in black. Moreover, the retainer had essentially snubbed a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master family.
This expert’s strength and the att.i.tude that Liu Jie had toward Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master families made the two experts from the Ding family aware that this young man could not be crossed.
The Lu family was considered in the upper echelon of the Great Lush Federation’s secret elite families.
From the way that the young man dressed in black did not hold back against the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce, it meant that he couldn’t care less about the Lu family or their power. This indicated that he was from one of the true top elite families in the Great Lush Federation.
The two emperor-cla.s.s experts immediately realized that they could only try to stay on the young man’s good side and make sure they did not offend him.
Even if the retainer had already shown that he did not care about leaving any of the Ding family’s pride for them, the two emperor-cla.s.s experts were also unwilling to let the Ding family show their weak side during such a situation. Once the Ding family allowed themselves to act submissively, they would lose the iron grip they were holding over Oak City.
When the two emperor-cla.s.s experts did not respond, Song Dingzhen became anxious and said, “Lord Ding Jian, Lu Kun came to Oak City on behalf of the Lu family. However, he went somewhere and has not returned. Once he’s back, we will definitely offer you a satisfactory response. As for these people that dared to say such contemptuous words about the Ding family, you should teach them a lesson!”
After what Song Dingzhen said, Ding Jian could no longer back down.
At that moment, the young man’s voice rang out again. “Is the Lu Kun you’re referring to a fat man? He tried to kill me, so I killed him. Then, the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce tried to kill one of the merchant groups under me and is now refusing to admit to the crime. If that’s the case, let’s lay everything out now.”
When Song Dingzhen heard what Lin Yuan said, her face changed. She would never have expected Lu Kun to be dead.
Song Dingzhen screeched, “You killed Lu Kun! The Lu family will never forgive you for this!”
Song Dingzhen’s response was hysteric, but she did not refute what Lin Yuan said. In a way, she admitted to what Lin Yuan had said.
Every person present turned to look at Song Dingzhen with disdain.
At that moment, the two b.a.l.l.s of fire turned into two flaming snails. The two snails stood on both sides of the people from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce. They spewed out a river of lava that burnt the members of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce to nothing.
With this river of lava, the matter was settled.
Lin Yuan preferred to be discreet, but this did not mean that he was averse to grand displays.
Currently, the crowd was looking at Lin Yuan as though he was a G.o.d. However, he ignored their gazes and said to the Sincere Merchant Group members, “Go and find a place to rest. We can talk later.”
Lin Yuan led Little Flower into the crowd.
Now, the only thing he had left to do on this trip was to go and see Su Yiren. Then, he intended to return to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce to find another source of support for the Sincere Merchant Group.
The Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce’s Oak City branch had been destroyed, and Lin Yuan needed another reliable source of resources.
The best option would be the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.
Li Wan was both marveled and shocked by the sight of Lin Yuan’s back.
Previously, she had a.s.sumed that he was just a direct descendant from one of the wealthier secret elite families. But now, it seemed that there was more to him than met the eye.
The direct descendant of a secret elite family couldn’t have such powerful guards.
Li Wan had seen Little Flower before. Although Li Wan did not know who the boy that Liu Jie was holding hands with was, Lin Yuan’s grandiosity could be seen from the fox fur cloaks that the children were wearing.
Before this, Li Wan had been hesitating. But now, she was certain that she wanted to establish a long-term working relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yuan.
However, she had no clue if he would be willing to work with her.
She decided that she would first make preparations to welcome Lin Yuan when he returned to the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.
Zhuang Bei had already internally insulted the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce six ways to Sunday.
He could no longer remain in Oak City.
Zhuang Bei prepared to leave Oak City at once to report the situation to his family.
The two emperor-cla.s.s experts from the Ding family drove the crowd away before returning to report to the Ding family with troubled expressions. They told the head of the Ding family in detail about what had happened.
None of the emperor-cla.s.s experts could decide on their own how to proceed or address Lin Yuan.
In the Divine Wood Federation, Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master families had been offending the wrong people and getting themselves killed.
The Ding family could not allow themselves to become the next one.
After Ji Feng sent the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus to Oak City, it had been protecting Su Yiren from the shadows.
Su Yiren was in an abandoned area that was in the opposite direction from where Little Flower and Little Gra.s.s lived.
Lin Yuan did not use the Ethereal Jellyfish’s Node Transportation this time. Instead, he summoned Blackie and rode off with Liu Jie, Ji Feng, Little Flower, and Little Gra.s.s on Blackie’s back.
To the shock of the people on the street, Blackie took to the air and flew off in the direction of where Su Yiren was.
