Invincible Over the World
Chapter 88 - 88 88 What a Coincidence

88: Chapter 88: What a Coincidence 88: Chapter 88: What a Coincidence “What did you just say, you lowly commoner?!” Lin Ke roared in rage, pointing at Huang Xiaolong and bellowing.

How dare this lowly commoner say that she is, is?!

“What I said, didn’t you hear clearly?” Huang Xiaolong’s face was indifferent.

At this moment, a commotion of footsteps arose from below, and a group of more than a dozen guards was seen ascending from the floor below.

“Miss, what’s the matter?” A guard stepped forward and asked Lin Ke.

These guards from the Marquis Mansion had been on the first-floor, and when they heard the shouting, they hurried up.

“This lowly commoner dared to insult me, slap him for me, slap him hard!” Lin Ke pointed at Huang Xiaolong, her eyes flashing viciously, “Slap out all his dog teeth!”

“Anyone else who dares to interfere, slap them all!”

“Yes, Miss!”

The dozen or so guards from the Marquis Mansion stepped forward and surrounded Huang Xiaolong and the others.

One of them approached, raised his hand, and ferociously slapped down towards Huang Xiaolong’s face.

The faces of the guards from the Huang Family Manor changed, ready to intervene, but a figure flashed even faster than the Manor’s guards.

The guard who was about to slap Huang Xiaolong screamed miserably, as if struck by a meteorite, and crashed to the floor before tumbling down the stairs to the second floor.

A brief silence ensued.

The one who had acted was Fei Hou.

After a short silence, the other guards from the Marquis Mansion regained their senses and angrily drew their swords.

Then, Fei Hou opened his mouth and roared, “Get lost!” His voice thundered, and countless bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere.

It was the Mystic Grade high-level Combat Skill, Thunder Sound Fall.

The strongest of these guards from the Marquis Mansion was only at the Seventh-stage Late Stage Peak, and they couldn’t avoid the thunder sound.

Struck by the thunder, their bodies jolted violently and they were thrown backward, landing on the floor with their bodies scorched and wisps of smoke rising from their skins.

“You!” Lin Ke’s and another person from Lin Guo’s faces were filled with shock.

“Slap him for me!” Huang Xiaolong’s voice was cold.

“Yes, Young Master!” As Fei Hou’s voice landed, Lin Ke’s left cheek bore five distinct red marks.

“You lowlifes, do you know who I am?

How dare you hit me!” Lin Ke was shocked and furious, glaring at Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou with a face full of rage and hatred, covering her left cheek as she screamed.

“Slap again!” Huang Xiaolong’s voice rang out once more.

Lin Ke’s right cheek was marked with another five clear red finger prints, her lip bleeding and a tooth spat out.

Lin Ke stared at the tooth that had fallen to the ground, her eyes blank for a moment before she burst into tears, looking at Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou and the others with a face full of hate and crying out, “How dare you hit me?

How dare you hit me!

Do you know who I am?

I am the Marquis Mansion’s young lady!

My father is Marquis Lin Xian!

I swear to kill you lowlifes, to exterminate you dogs!”

“Slap again!” Huang Xiaolong was unmoved.

With two “smack” sounds, Lin Ke staggered back, and this time, both her left and right cheeks were branded with five more clear red marks, two bloody teeth spat out.

“Sister, don’t talk anymore, let’s go back to the Marquis Mansion first!” Lin Guo, who was beside her both shocked and angry, stepped forward and pulled Lin Ke, advising her, realizing by now that if she kept berating them, her entire set of teeth would probably be gone.

Without waiting for Lin Ke to speak, Lin Guo hurriedly pulled his sister and fled down the stairs.

Huang Xiaolong watched Lin Ke and Lin Guo flee in panic, smiling coldly.

As they left, with Lin Ke’s face full of hate, there was no doubt she wouldn’t let this go.

Unless something unexpected happened, they would definitely return with a group of experts from the Marquis Mansion.

The waiter, seeing Lin Ke and Lin Guo flee in disarray and the Marquis Mansion’s guards groaning on the floor, was already dumbfounded.

After a while, he came back to his senses and scurried off to inform the boss.

After Lin Ke and Lin Guo left, Huang Xiaolong and the others continued their drinking.

Lin Ke and someone from Lin Guo left the Delicious Restaurant and soon returned to the Marquis Mansion.

Crying all the way, Lin Ke came into the mansion’s great hall, where Marquis Lin Xian was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man in military battle armor, his shoulders adorned with a few shiny badges.

This man was none other than General Hong Desheng of the Luotong Kingdom.

When Lin Ke came in crying, Lin Xian and Hong Desheng were both startled and stopped their conversation.

Seeing Hong Desheng as they entered, Lin Ke couldn’t help approaching and said, “Uncle Hong.”

“Ke’er, what happened?

Who hurt you?” Lin Xian saw his daughter’s bloody lip and his face darkened.

“Father, Uncle Hong, you must stand up for me!” Lin Ke cried, covering her face, “Just now at the Delicious Restaurant, a bunch of dog peasants slapped me, knocking out my teeth!”

“Wuu wuu wuu!”

“What?!” Lin Xian’s face turned grim, his eyes flashing with a biting chill.

“Did those people have any particular features?” Suddenly, Hong Desheng asked.

The three of them paused.

“Brother Hong, are you suggesting?” Lin Xian asked.

Hong Desheng spoke, “Do you remember what happened last year at the Delicious Restaurant?”

Lin Xian’s body shook violently.

Last year, Duke Meng Chen and his son Meng Xia, relying on their military power, had offended Marshal Haotian’s younger brother.

Marshal Haotian arrived in a rage and killed both Meng Chen and Meng Xia.

Although it was nearly a year ago, how could Lin Xian forget?

The place where Meng Chen and Meng Xia were killed was precisely the Delicious Restaurant.

Lin Ke and Lin Guo also remembered the incident, their complexions turning pale.

“Brother Hong, could it really be such a coincidence?” Lin Xian said hesitantly.

“Better safe than sorry,” Hong Desheng said, turning to ask Lin Ke: “What did the person who hurt you look like?”

Lin Ke and Lin Guo recalled Fei Hou’s appearance and described him.

As they spoke, the expressions on Lin Xian and Hong Desheng’s faces grew increasingly grave.

Once Lin Ke and Lin Guo finished, Hong Desheng spoke with a low voice, “I fear that person might really be Marshal Haotian’s younger brother, Fei Hou!”

Marshal Haotian’s younger brother, Fei Hou!

The faces of Lin Ke and Lin Guo turned even paler.

Suddenly, Hong Desheng thought of a question and asked urgently, “Next to that Fei Hou, was there an old man about seventy years old?” As he spoke, he described Marshal Haotian’s appearance.

Lin Ke and Lin Guo tried to remember.

However, at the time, Marshal Haotian was seated with his back to them, and they had not seen Marshal Haotian’s face clearly.

“We didn’t pay much attention,” Lin Ke said.

“There were fourteen or fifteen people in total, oh, right, one of the children was around ten years old, but Fei Hou listened to him a lot, calling him Young Master.

Could he be?!”

“Huang Xiaolong!” blurted out Lin Xian and Hong Desheng.

Huang Xiaolong!

The bodies of Lin Ke and Lin Guo shook violently, nearly falling over.

The events of the Star Sky Academy’s annual competition had already spread to every corner of the Royal City.

Huang Xiaolong, who possesses the Ancient Divine Dragon, the Black Dragon Martial Soul, was no longer a secret.

Now, Huang Xiaolong was being touted as the greatest talent in the history of the Luotong Kingdom.

If that child was Huang Xiaolong, then what?!

Lin Ke thought of her previous claims that Huang Xiaolong was a dog peasant and even ordered the guards to slap Huang Xiaolong’s mouth, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably as if struck by a fit.
