Chapter 685: This Chief Will Give You An Explanation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xie, Jian, Wu, Tu Clans?!
If it was just one of those clans, everyone wouldn’t have been so shocked; and they would have suspected the She Clan that Jiang Yi had mentioned. Was it the She Clan of the East Imperial Continent? Now that he had mentioned all four of the clans, then it must be the Nine Thearchs Clan without a mistake.
However, it was a question if it was possible?
Four great clans working together to chase down a single individual? If this news was out, it would definitely cause a commotion in the world; and the one being pursued would definitely be famed in the world. Jiang Yi was less than 20 years of age, and his surface strength was only at the Vajra Realm? Was he worth being chased down by four of the giant clans? Wasn’t he just bluffing?
Many of them looked at Jiang Yi with suspicious att.i.tudes while Big Brother Heng snorted and sneered. “Such big words. Seems like our Chief Jiang was once a world-renowned figure, huh. A hidden dragon in the abyss.”
Chief Li asked with a serious tone, “Chief Jiang, the clans you mentioned… are the Xie, Jian, Wu, and Tu Clans of the East Imperial Continent?”
“Hehe!”
Jiang Yi grinned and raised his cup. “It is just a joke. Why is everyone so serious? Let’s drink!”
“Tsk-tsk!”
Many of them let out mocking and ridiculing waves of laughter while Big Brother Heng immediately rolled his eyes. Chief Leng and Chief Li looked at each other and let out bitter laughs. The two of them were already suspicious as Jiang Yi was too young and not strong enough. They knew deeply about the strength of the Nine Thearchs Clans. Let alone four clans, a single clan was able to crush Jiang Yi into pieces with just a touch of their finger.
Chief Leng took another mouthful of wine and lightly coughed, which caused everyone present to turn silent while s.h.i.+fting their attention over. Chief Leng then said, “Chief Jiang, I heard that you had killed Ba Dao and Chief Long today? Also, you had a clash with Xiao Heng? You even took in over a dozen of his subordinates? Was there such a thing?”
The highlight of the show was here!
Jiang Yi’s brows raised up as he laughed. Since Chief Leng had invited over today, he must want to stick out for Big Brother Heng and probably wanted to show his prowess. He wanted Jiang Yi to understand that it wasn’t Jiang Yi’s turn to be arrogant and despotic in the city yet.
Jiang Yi lowered his head and didn’t say anything. He took a sip of wine, and when the wine had completely gone into his stomach, he then lifted his head and smiled while speaking, “Ba Dao and Chief Long wanted to kill me, so it should be normal for me to kill them, right? As for Big Brother Heng? It couldn’t be considered a clash. He wanted to teach me how to be a proper person so I turned around to teach him something about being a proper person. I didn’t do anything to him, and there were many people who could be witnesses.”
Jiang Yi paused for a little while his eyes glanced at Big Brother Heng and said, “Chief Leng said that I took in over a dozen of Big Brother Heng’s subordinates? How should we talk about this? Big Brother Heng’s men had defected, and they were afraid that Big Brother Heng would take revenge on them so they wanted to follow me. This has nothing to do with me, right? Furthermore… I am still considering if I want to take them under me.”
Bang!
Big Brother Heng was infuriated as he slammed the table and stood up to yell, “How could it not be something to do with you? Since you aren’t going to take them in, why did you bring them back? Why would you ask them to wait for your instructions? Hurhur, rumors are already spreading outside that all those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds had said they would serve under you and are your men. How are you going to explain that? Chief Jiang, the ten chiefs of the city already had an arrangement that does not allow undermining. You are violating the rules like this!”
Big Brother Heng was furious, and the entire atmosphere had tensed up. Those ladies from the brothel had all cowered to the side, and they were s.h.i.+vering and didn’t even let out a large breath. Four of Big Brother Heng’s henchmen stood up and glared at Jiang Yi, and some of Chief Leng’s henchmen who were on good terms with Big Brother Heng had also stood up to support him.
Chief Leng was silent.
Chief Li had actually gone silent strangely as though waiting for an explanation from Jiang Yi. Niu Deng and Niu w.a.n.g got nervous as they knew that if Big Brother Heng dared to slam the table and flip out like this, he must have already gotten the silent approval from Chief Leng; and this flipping out was actually on behalf of Chief Leng.
Jiang Yi’s expression didn’t change. In fact, he acted as though he didn’t hear the enraged roars from Big Brother Heng as he casually lowered his head and grabbed a small beast’s shoulder to bite on. Big Brother Heng and the others wanted to smash their fists in the air and were all so angered that their blood was boiling.
“Lone Wolf!”
Big Brother Heng waited for a moment and saw that Jiang Yi had continued to ignore him. He was instantly ashamed into anger as he yelled out again, “If you don’t give an explanation today…”
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yi threw the beast shoulder in his hand, which smashed up the wine on the table. He suddenly stood up and said, “What are you yelling the h.e.l.l for?! You ugly ghost. Had your wounds recovered, and you forgot about the pain? Do you want an explanation? Come, come, let’s go out of the city, and this chief will give you an explanation. This chief will crush you like an insect…”
Clang!
Everyone was in an uproar, Chief Leng and Chief Li’s men might have heard about the incident at the thunder mountains, but this was the first time they saw anyone so arrogant in front of Chief Leng. Jiang Yi simply spoke a few words and immediately asked for a battle. Chief Leng obviously had a purpose today, and it was to take revenge for Big Brother Heng. Yet, Jiang Yi was still acting like this, which was obviously slapping on Chief Leng’s face.
Many of them were surging with killing aura while they looked over at Chief Leng and awaited his decision. Chief Leng’s expression looked awful. He put down the cup heavily and said, “What are you quarreling about? Can’t you talk nicely? Are there still any rules here?”
These questions were obviously spoken for Jiang Yi to hear, and it meant that he was furious. If Jiang Yi wanted to continue stirring up, Chief Leng would have no choice but to fall out with Jiang Yi.
“Hur-Hur!”
Jiang Yi looked at Chief Leng and sneered. “Chief Leng, Chief Li, you saw it, too. Who was the one that started the quarrel? Who was the one that didn’t talk nicely? Big Brother Heng’s att.i.tude is obviously not letting me have a good meal, right? Since that is the case, then there is no need to have this meal!”
Unyielding, overbearing, hard-line!
This was the att.i.tude that Jiang Yi was giving everyone. Chief Leng narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Yi silently while Chief Li’s smiling face had turned emotionless.
Jiang Yi had truly gone over the limits today. There was nothing wrong to teach Big Brother Heng a lesson, but what did it mean to take in other’s subordinates? Was he going to continue educating Chief Ying, Chief Hei, and the others—and then take in their men as well? By then, if he had a strong army, wouldn’t he be able to govern the Sky Thunder City?
Jiang Yi had also narrowed his eyes and looked at Chief Leng. He had gone all out… and he wasn’t going to back away; what about it? Chief Leng arranged this scenario to suppress him, and the entire city was watching. If he was to back away, he wouldn’t have a good time in Sky Thunder City. Since this was the case, why not make everything clear today?
Chief Leng’s strength might be immeasurable, but Jiang Yi had the Thunder Fire, the Fire Cloud Armor, and the Heaven Evasion divine skill. It was hard to say who would be the final winner, and it was useless to talk about it. Fight first, talk later.
Chief Leng looked at Jiang Yi for more than five minutes before he took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his voice and said, “Chief Jiang, can you do a favor for Old Leng? We will put aside everything else, but for Xiao Heng’s men… you cannot take them!”
Chief Leng took a step back!
Jiang Yi remained silent. He knew that if he were to back away as well, Big Brother Heng’s defected subordinates would all meet a miserable end. Big Brother Heng had been utterly humiliated, and if he wanted to maintain his foothold in the city, he had to kill them to establish himself again!
It was obvious that Chief Leng wanted to a.s.sist in this matter and to kill off Jiang Yi’s awe-inspiring momentum and tone him down a little. He wanted Jiang Yi to understand who was the one governing the Sky Thunder City.
Take a step back, and the world’s opportunities will open up to you!
Jiang Yi would then be able to firmly stand in the city and make future plans.
However, at this moment, when Jiang Yi recalled about those sixteen pairs of hopeful eyes and thought about the attention that everyone had placed in this place, his expression grew determined as he spoke in a deep voice, “Chief Leng, I am sorry. It is not that I do not respect you. I can only promise you that I will not undermine others in the future, but… as long as people are willing to follow me, I will protect them. As a boss, if I cannot even protect my own men, what is the purpose for me to be a boss? Why would my men even follow me? I have already made my stand. If Chief Leng wants to teach Jiang n.o.body how to be a proper person, he will have to accept it.”
