Chapter 7390
You're Very Interesting
"However, he also said that he must see you today. He has a few questions he wants to ask you in person."
Zhuang Yuan's voice carried a hint of relief, "The special car that was supposed to take you to Beijing was already on its way, but now we have to compromise... Please go to the Northwest Martial Arts Army Base, where there is a encrypted line directly connecting to the central command, where you can speak directly with the leaders."
He took a deep breath, almost pleading, "Mr. Xiao, this time... please don't refuse again! Otherwise, the commander might really get angry."
This Mr. Xiao is truly fearless, daring to disregard even the highest-ranking officials in the central government!
Xiao Chen was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Please tell the commander that it's not that I don't want to see him, but the time is not right. Even with an encrypted line, some things are still unclear... The enemy I'm facing is far more terrifying than he imagines."
He sighed and changed the subject: "Let's put this aside for now. By the way, there's a bunch of idiots from the Beijing Man family standing in front of my villa, making a lot of noise. Have someone come and deal with them so they don't dirty my place."
Zhuang Yuan chuckled wryly on the other end. This guy really has a big heart; even at a time like this, he's still worrying about that little thing at the door.
"I understand, I'll send someone over immediately," Zhuang Yuan replied. He could sense the ambiguity in Xiao Chen's words and knew that some things were better left unsaid, so he wisely refrained from asking further questions.
After hanging up the call, Xiao Chen turned and went back to his room, where he changed into a tailor-made dark-colored outfit. The outfit accentuated his tall and well-proportioned figure, making the coldness between his brows even more intense, like a drawn blade.
As soon as I stepped downstairs, the villa doorbell rang urgently again, its shrill sound annoying.
Xiao Chen's gaze darkened, and he walked straight to the door, raising his hand to pull it open...
Outside the door, the Man family group was still there. Moreover, six more black-clad martial artists with deep auras joined them. Each of them had sharp eyes like an eagle, and their auras were locked onto the villa door, clearly there to exert pressure.
"It seems the lesson we just learned wasn't profound enough?" Xiao Chen's voice was as cold as ice, and frost suddenly froze in his eyes as he swept his gaze across the crowd as if looking at a group of dead men.
Man Hai stepped forward, suppressing his anger, and said with the last bit of restraint in his voice, "Mr. Xiao, I only beg you to help me today, to save my ancestor. Whatever your conditions, the Man family is willing to do everything in its power to satisfy them."
He paused, his tone filled with confusion and grievance: "Our entire family has always been willing to be on good terms with you, sir, and has never offended you in the slightest. Why do you keep us at arm's length?"
Man Yue, clutching her still swollen cheek, glared venomously at Xiao Chen and shrieked, "Xiao Chen! Don't push your luck! We didn't want to be your enemy, but you have to go today, whether you like it or not!"
As she spoke, she stepped aside to let a middle-aged man with a cold face and imposing aura pass by, her tone laced with pride and threat: "This is the Imperial Dragon Guard of the Capital..."
"Snapped!"
"roll!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly sharpened. Without moving, he simply raised his hand and flicked it. An invisible burst of energy shot out, striking Man Yue precisely in the face!
The crisp sound of the slap was deafening. Manyue didn't even see how Xiao Chen made his move before she was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the hood of a luxury car not far away with a loud "bang".
Blood gushed from his mouth, and two teeth flew out with it.
The entire room fell silent!
Everyone in the family had their pupils shrink, their faces filled with disbelief... Xiao Chen actually dared to make a move? And his speed was so fast that no one could even see his movements!
Man Hai's face instantly turned icy cold, veins bulging on his forehead. He could discipline his sister himself, but he would never allow outsiders to humiliate her like this!
"Xiao Chen! You've gone too far!" Man Hai roared, raising his right hand to order the warriors behind him to tear this arrogant brat to pieces!
However, just as his command was about to be uttered...
A terrifying, suffocating pressure suddenly came from behind them!
The oppressive force was almost tangible, like a towering mountain crashing down, causing all the martial artists present to freeze in place, their backs instantly soaked with cold sweat, and even breathing became extremely difficult!
Everyone turned their heads stiffly and saw a black military SUV parked at the intersection not far away. Beside the vehicle stood a figure in a black Zhongshan suit, tall and straight, with a calm face, yet exuding an aura of dominance.
The moment he saw that person, Man Hai's mind went blank, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer!
It's him? !
Captain of the Divine Dragon Guard, a top-ten expert on the Dragon Kingdom's Celestial Ranking, and a figure dedicated to protecting the central hub of the imperial capital... Qin Wu!
What is he doing here?!
Before Man Hai could recover from his shock, Qin Wu strode over, bypassing the frozen Man family members, and stood before Xiao Chen. A gentle smile appeared on his face, and his tone was unbelievably respectful:
"Mr. Xiao, I apologize for disturbing you, but may I come in and talk?"
Upon hearing this, Man Hai and the others were struck dumb, their bodies suddenly turning cold, as if they had been thrown into an ice cellar, their blood almost freezing!
The captain of the Divine Dragon Guard... is actually so respectful to Xiao Chen?!
Just who exactly is Xiao Chen?!
For a top-ten ranked Celestial Guardian to treat someone like this is simply outrageous!
Man Hai's face instantly turned deathly pale, a wave of extreme fear washing over him... Had their Man family actually offended someone even the Divine Dragon Guards treated with utmost respect?!
The heavy solid wood door slowly closed behind them, shutting out the shock and deathly silence of the family outside, and instantly making the air in the villa's living room as heavy as iron, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Qin Wu did not sit down, but stood with his hands behind his back. His sharp gaze swept over Xiao Chen like a searchlight, as if trying to see through him completely: "Xiao Chen. In the past month, this name has been heard by me more often than some high-ranking officials."
He tapped his fingertips lightly on the smooth mahogany table, the dull sound like a blow to the heart, carrying the unique pressure of a superior: "You are a very interesting young man."
“You share the same name as my old friend, the God of War King. Your strength is probably comparable.”
Qin Wu leaned back slightly on the sofa armrest, his tone tinged with inquiry, "I thought that sitting in my position, there were no secrets left in the world. But you, kid, have become a fog that even the 'Sky Eye' system can't penetrate."
A glint of unfathomable light flashed in his eyes: "Sometimes I wonder, what kind of blessed land or what kind of person could have nurtured a monster like you? Daring to confront the New Martial Arts Association head-on, cutting down their people like cutting grass?"
"Don't worry about it." Qin Wu raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Chen's possible response, his tone softening slightly. "I have no intention of probing your secrets, it's just that you're too strong, so strong that I can't help but become interested." (End of Chapter)
