Pete spoke with disdain.
“Who is the Death Goddess?”
“She is an international titan!”
“Would an international titan fear a nobody?” The disdain on Pete’s face grew thicker. “But it is said that in Qinhuangdao, China, he once slew a Martial Saint.”
“Even if he showed some strength in that battle in Qinhuangdao, China, it was probably all exaggerated!” Pete shook his head.
“If even the Death Goddess feared him, would the master have sent us to recruit him as a guard?” Pete retorted. Ruth also nodded, clearly she too did not believe that the Death Goddess would fear that Luo Wuji.
From what they knew, that Luo Wuji seemed to be only in his early twenties, how high could his strength possibly be?
How could he possibly make an international titan like the Death Goddess fear him?
At this moment, the butler happened to come out to notify the two of them.
“Sorry, both of you, Mr. Luo is a bit busy, so you will have to wait a while. Perhaps you could go to the side hall, there is tea there…”
“Hmph, what a big show!” Pete flew into a rage upon hearing this.
“Do you know who we are?”
“We have come, and he does not personally come out to greet us, yet he dares to put on airs and make us wait?” Their backgrounds were enormous, even when visiting some international titans, no one dared to make them wait, yet now at Luo Chen’s place they were being made to wait?
The two directly pushed the butler aside and then barged straight in.
The commotion here naturally alerted Luo Chen and Rong Zaixu.
The banquet fell silent at once, and Luo Chen frowned.
“Which one is Luo Wuji, come out here!” Pete directly ignored everyone’s gazes and shouted.
This made Luo Chen frown. Rong Zaixu stood up, about to speak, but Luo Chen reached out and stopped him.
“I am. You had best give me a satisfactory explanation!” Luo Chen spoke with an icy tone.
“Oh? And you still want an explanation?” Pete laughed in anger.
“Do you know who we are?”
“I do not know, nor do I have any interest in knowing!” Luo Chen was somewhat impatient.
“Hmph, you do not know, yet you dare speak to me like this?”
“Do you know, we are guards of the Black Phoenix!”
Black Phoenix?
The moment these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions changed at once.
And Pete looked on with satisfaction at all of this, as if this was exactly how it should be. Because every time he spoke these words, no matter who it was, even some international titans would change their expressions greatly, and their attitude toward them would immediately change.
After all, a man’s name is like a tree’s shadow.
Black Phoenix, that was someone comparable to the Snowland Wolf King.
“Now you understand?” Pete looked at Luo Chen with boundless arrogance.
Unfortunately, this time they had run into Luo Chen.
If it had been anyone else, they might truly have been frightened. But encountering Immortal Venerable Luo Chen, these two were destined to have bad luck today.
“Then do you know who I am?” Luo Chen likewise spoke coldly.
“No matter who you are, you must speak to us politely!” Pete sneered.
“Bang!”
A slap through the air!
Pete was instantly struck on the face by an invisible slap, and then his whole body was directly slapped to the ground.
He even smashed the floor until it cracked.
Blood flowed freely, and Pete’s entire face was deformed.
Luo Chen slowly walked from the other side toward the door.
“Now, can we speak properly?” Luo Chen sneered.
And Ruth, standing to the side, looked at Luo Chen in horror, her eyes filled with terror.
Pete was a Level Five Mutant, yet with just a single slap through the air from Luo Chen, Pete had been beaten so badly he had no power to fight back.
This level of strength needed no further explanation.
“Luo Wuji, you actually dare hit me?” Pete was both shocked and furious.
Shocked at Luo Chen’s strength, that he could slap him down with one blow. He had not even been able to react, let alone dodge. Furious that Luo Chen actually dared to strike him, after all he was a guard of the Black Phoenix, representing the Black Phoenix.
Looking across the whole world, who would dare to openly disrespect the Black Phoenix like this?
“Hit you?” Luo Chen sneered.
“Swish.”
A huge head flew into the air, it was Pete’s, his face still bearing anger.
The head rolled to the side, trailing blood.
“Please help throw it in the trash bin!” Luo Chen looked at Pete’s head and spoke to the waiter standing at the door, who had been frozen in terror.
The waiter hesitated for a moment, but in the end the old butler walked over, picked up Pete’s head as if it were a watermelon, and tossed it into the trash bin.
“Alright, I do not want to hear nonsense. You speak, what business do you have with me?” Luo Chen turned his gaze to Ruth.
“Of course, you can also spout as much nonsense as he did, but I cannot guarantee whether your head will also be thrown into the trash bin!”
Domineering!
Too domineering!
This was Ruth’s inner thought at this moment.
Killing someone over a single disagreement, this was the domineering manner of an international titan.
And he completely did not put the Black Phoenix in his eyes, truly did not put her in his eyes.
Ruth smiled bitterly. She was afraid that once she spoke, her fate might be the same as Pete’s.
“Respected Mr. Luo, hello, I have come to represent my master, to invite you, to become, to become, to become…” Ruth could not get the words out, her whole person was extremely nervous.
Before she came, she had been fully confident that this was a boon for Luo Wuji.
But now, she was truly afraid to say it.
“Become what?” Luo Chen spoke coldly.
“A, a guard.” Ruth stammered, while inwardly preparing herself to be hit.
But unexpectedly, Luo Chen did not seem angry.
“Alright, you may go.” Luo Chen waved his hand, turned around, and prepared to return to his seat.
Ruth was stunned. Luo Chen was actually letting her go?
Though stunned, she still intended to leave, after all Luo Wuji was definitely someone she could not deal with.
Just as she had taken two steps out, a cold voice came from behind her.
“Go back and tell your master, either die, or become my guard!”
Ruth’s whole body shook violently, and then she quickly left.
But a cold smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. Luo Wuji’s earlier decisive killing had indeed intimidated her.
Especially that domineering aura Luo Wuji had just shown.
But this did not mean that Luo Wuji had the strength to challenge the Black Phoenix.
He actually dared to threaten the Black Phoenix, actually dared to say he would recruit the Black Phoenix as his guard?
Too arrogant and conceited.
Ruth quickly left, then swiftly took out a phone and made a call, explaining the situation here.
“Pete was killed by him?”
“Yes.”
“He really said that?”
“Yes!”
“Heh, very well, Luo Wuji, I truly wish to meet you properly now!”
A domineering female voice came from the other end of the phone.
“The day after tomorrow, I shall see whether you can still be so arrogant!”
