These words were spoken by Evil Wolf Ticha. As the helmsman of the Wata family, he feared Luo Wuji. However, this was Xianluo, the Bhikkhu King’s own territory. As the guardian deity of Xianluo, the Bhikkhu King ought to step forward and back his own people! But then!
“Smack!” A loud slap rang out. Evil Wolf Ticha was struck hard across the face. In Xianluo, who else but the Bhikkhu King could slap Evil Wolf Ticha? Ticha stared at the Bhikkhu King in sheer disbelief.
Everyone around them, whether it was Moha, Song Mu, or even Yang Jun, stared at the Bhikkhu King in utter disbelief. “Why?” Evil Wolf Ticha covered his face, looking at the Bhikkhu King with eyes full of incredulity.
“Heh, why?” “Wata Ticha, you have a lot of nerve!” the Bhikkhu King suddenly roared, his face twisting in rage. “And you, Song Mu!” “Do you have any idea what you are doing?”
“Did you think you could just keep him here and that would be the end of it?” “Do you know that over a hundred international tycoons are currently tracking his whereabouts? Once they find him, more than a hundred international tycoons will descend upon Xianluo, and the entire place will be destroyed!” “Over in Dongying, they spent one hundred and fifty billion US dollars just to send him away.” “And right now, you actually dare to provoke him?” the Bhikkhu King declared righteously.
“What?” everyone exclaimed in shock.
No one present was a fool. A few simple sentences were enough for them to understand the reason. Yang Peipei, in particular, instantly understood why the Tokugawa family had helped Luo Chen beat Handa Saburo at the airport. She also understood why even the Tokugawa family of Dongying had adopted such a fawning attitude towards Luo Chen.
Song Mu and Evil Wolf Ticha were instantly dumbfounded.
If this was truly the case, they had just provoked a colossal disaster.
“You have already brought a catastrophic disaster upon Xianluo!”
The Bhikkhu King roared again.
“Even I do not dare to provoke him and must yield to him out of respect. Where did a mere Wata family and an underground emperor of Xianluo find the audacity to provoke Luo Wuji?”
At that moment, the people from Xianluo broke out in a cold sweat. If over a hundred international tycoons really came, let alone them, even the Bhikkhu King would not be able to stop them! Their faces turned pale with fright.
They had truly stirred up immense trouble this time.
And it was a disaster of catastrophic proportions.
“Mr Luo, please rest assured. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter,” the Bhikkhu King said, feigning a respectful demeanour.
As soon as these words left his mouth, the expressions of Song Mu and Evil Wolf Ticha changed drastically.
An explanation?
What kind of explanation?
This explanation would undoubtedly come at the cost of their own lives. Moreover, even if Luo Chen decided to let it slide, the Bhikkhu King would never spare them, logically or morally, for bringing such a monumental disaster upon Xianluo.
Thinking of this, the two men gave a bitter smile. Song Mu slumped to the floor as if the pillars supporting his body had collapsed, while Wata Ticha was drenched in a cold sweat.
“I also beg Mr Luo not to be too vindictive,” the Bhikkhu King said, lowering his posture and cupping his fists in a traditional Hua Xia salute to Luo Chen.
“Vindictive?” Luo Chen suddenly sneered.
As the sneer faded.
“Smack!”
Another loud slap rang out.
But this slap left everyone completely stunned.
Because the person Luo Chen had just slapped was the Bhikkhu King!
The Bhikkhu King had his head bowed to begin with, and he never imagined Luo Wuji would strike him. Therefore, he had absolutely no defences up. Otherwise, given Luo Chen’s current condition, he would not have been able to hit him.
Yet, the slap firmly landed on the Bhikkhu King’s face.
After that slap, everyone froze, and the entire restaurant fell dead silent.
A long while later!
“Luo!”
“Wu!”
“Ji!”
The furious roar shattered the surrounding glass.
Many people instantly bled from their ears and noses due to the shockwave.
Who was the Bhikkhu King?
He was one of the international tycoons, and in terms of strength, he was even slightly above the Wolf King.
He was the very god of Xianluo!
Yet right now, he had been slapped by Luo Chen!
And he had been slapped in public, no less.
How could this be tolerated?
What confused everyone the most was why Luo Chen had slapped the Bhikkhu King in the first place!
After all, when the Bhikkhu King arrived, if he was not explicitly siding with Luo Chen, he was at least not showing any favouritism towards Ticha, Song Mu, and the others!
The Bhikkhu King’s energy surged violently throughout his body, as if he were about to strike at any moment. The overflowing energy made the entire Diamond Building shake.
“What?”
“You want to fight?” Luo Chen sneered disdainfully.
“Come on, feel free to make your move!” Luo Chen stood his ground and opened his arms wide.
A long while later, the Bhikkhu King dispersed the surging energy around his body and glared at Luo Chen with sinister eyes.
Yang Peipei, Moha, and even Evil Wolf Ticha were dumbfounded.
He dared to hit even the Bhikkhu King?
That was a god!
Yet he had just been slapped by Luo Chen just like that!
Yang Jun, in particular, truly understood the vast gap between himself and Luo Chen at that moment.
Most importantly, after Luo Chen struck him, the Bhikkhu King actually backed down.
“Luo Wuji, ask your own conscience. I have never had the slightest grievance with you. If my subordinates offended you, that is their own business!”
“Isn’t going this far a bit too excessive?” the Bhikkhu King said coldly.
“I even said I would give you an explanation.”
Hearing this, even Yang Peipei felt that Luo Chen’s slap might have been a bit too much.
The Bhikkhu King had spoken up for Luo Chen the moment he arrived and had even promised to give him an explanation. He had given Luo Chen plenty of face.
Yet Luo Chen had suddenly slapped him.
Everyone present wore a look of utter bewilderment.
“Excessive?” Luo Chen sneered again.
“Bhikkhu King, do you not know exactly why I hit you?”
As soon as these words left his mouth, the Bhikkhu King’s expression changed instantly.
“Hmph, Bhikkhu King, you have a lot of nerve!”
“Give me an explanation?”
“Do you take me, Luo Wuji, for a fool?”
“Who gave you the audacity to use me as a pawn?”
Once Luo Chen finished speaking, everyone else was completely baffled, unable to grasp what he meant at all.
Only the Bhikkhu King looked utterly horrified, and Paga, standing beside him, wore the same shocked expression.
“Hmph, you dare play such petty tricks in front of Luo Wuji?” Luo Chen mocked.
“Luo Wuji, I have no idea what you are talking about,” the Bhikkhu King defended himself.
“No idea?” Luo Chen shook his head.
“Why did you not show up earlier or later, but waited until they had already provoked me to make your appearance?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly realised the truth.
That was right. Why did the Bhikkhu King show up at this exact moment and no other?
“It is because you needed the Wata family to offend me, so you could use that offence as an excuse to uproot the Wata family entirely, isn’t it?”
