Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 864 - 864 824 Establishing Authority

864: Chapter 824 Establishing Authority 864: Chapter 824 Establishing Authority Lu Chuan’s words stirred a wave of emotions in Zeng Tianqi, evoking not only a look of shock and terror but also fear and guilt.

Clearly, he was fully aware of the situation and even took part in it, offering aid to those mountain bandits.

It was no wonder he had become Wan Changdong’s most trusted subordinate, at this point, it was impossible not to trust him.

Zeng Tianqi raised his right hand, pointing at Lu Chuan and scolded, “If you dare to slander me again, I’ll kill you without hesitation!”

Instantly, the whole place was in an uproar!

Zeng Tianqi actually dared to threaten Lu Chuan’s life, which, in the eyes of everyone present, was an extremely audacious act.

Someone stood up and confronted Zeng Tianqi, “Captain Zeng, you’ve only recently arrived in the city, right?

There are many things you may not be aware of.

Better to not speak recklessly; it’s easy to make wrong statements.”

“Shut the hell up with your nonsense!

Me, make wrong statements?

It’s this bastard who’s spouting nonsense, why are you cautioning me?”

Lu Chuan sneered, looking at Zeng Tianqi and continued, “Looks like I hit the nail on the head, no wonder you’re reacting so violently.”

“Bullshit, you hit what on the head, are you dreaming?

Those things you’re accusing me of, I’ve got nothing to do with them!”

“Really?

So, you’re admitting that the things I mentioned are real?”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t say they’re unrelated to you.”

Zeng Tianqi was stunned and, bowing his head, pondered for a moment before raising his eyes and glancing sideways at Lu Chuan.

“I’m a straightforward man, playing word games with me is truly pointless.

I’ve never even heard of the things you’re talking about.”

“This matter has nothing to do with you, save your breath, and just sit there and eat your meal!”

Zeng Tianqi said disdainfully.

Lu Chuan shook his head, “How could this be unrelated to me?

It was I who supported Su Qianming as City Lord, anyone who disagrees with him is effectively disagreeing with me, and I definitely won’t let them off easily.”

Zeng Tianqi stared at Lu Chuan and asked, “You supported him as City Lord?”

“Who are you?

What gives you the right to support someone for City Lord!”

Lu Chuan continued, “Wan Changdong died at whose hand, do you not know?”

Zeng Tianqi sized up Lu Chuan, “It couldn’t have been you, could it?

Don’t joke around.

City Lord Wan was powerful, experienced, and there was even good news recently that he broke through to the Martial Saint Realm.”

“Him dying by your hand?

You’re overestimating yourself.”

At this point, the people around couldn’t watch silently anymore and stood up one after another.

“Captain Zeng, what he’s saying is true.

Wan Changdong was indeed killed by him, it’s a fact, no one’s joking with you.”

“Don’t be confused.

He’s the one who killed Wan Changdong.

He’s now in control of Lu Manor.

Right now, he’s the most formidable person in Forest City!”

“He’s the one who supported Su Qianming as City Lord.

No one dares to disrespect him below, aren’t you asking for death?”

“Zeng Tianqi, if you seek death on your own, don’t blame us.

You didn’t understand the situation and recklessly came over to grab power, aren’t you being foolish?”

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Zeng Tianqi stood frozen, dumbfounded, and at a loss for words.

“No, what kind of joke is this?

He killed City Lord Wan, and it’s actually true?”

“Yeah, who’s joking with you?

Everyone here is a powerhouse in the city, who dares to speak nonsense?”

Zeng Tianqi took a few steps back, his face grave as he watched Lu Chuan.

Then, one of his deputies came forward and said, “Captain Zeng, this guy killed our City Lord, shouldn’t we avenge him?”

After a moment of shock, Zeng Tianqi suddenly turned around and roared, “Avenge your ass, are you insane?”

Having roared his deputy down, he turned back to face Lu Chuan, his heart racing, no longer knowing what to say.

“You killed Wan Changdong?

Impossible, didn’t he just break through to the Martial Saint Realm recently?

Could it be, you’re also a powerhouse of the Martial Saint Realm?”

He stared intently at Lu Chuan, unable to discern Lu Chuan’s strength.

Lu Chuan walked slowly toward him, “Whether I am or not no longer matters.

Today, I intend to see Su Qianming ascend to the City Lord position, but you’re not giving me face.”

“Since you’re not giving face, then I have no choice but to take it back myself.”

“Not only have you not given me face, but you’ve also made quite a few harsh statements.

Today, if I let you leave unscathed, wouldn’t I become a pushover?”

Lu Chuan smiled calmly, walking slowly toward him.

Zeng Tianqi watched Lu Chuan approaching and involuntarily started to step back.

He raised his hands trying to soothe Lu Chuan, “Is it just about the City Lord position?

I won’t compete for it anymore, is that good enough?

You continue your banquet, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Lu Chuan quickened his pace toward him, “You think you can just leave?

What do you take this place for?”

“Today, you’re doomed.

I won’t leave you any way out.”

Seeing this, Zeng Tianqi immediately backed down, begging Lu Chuan, “I truly recognize my mistake.

The things I said and did earlier were thoughtless.

Please spare me this once, and I surely won’t dare to provoke you again!”

Whoosh!!

The next moment, Lu Chuan activated the Supreme Phantom Dodge martial arts skill, instantly appearing in front of Zeng Tianqi.

Lu Chuan’s extreme speed left Zeng Tianqi completely stunned.

Lu Chuan before him was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to catch his breath.

“Courting death!”

Lu Chuan lifted his right fist, flame engulfed with the Divine Fire of the Sun blazing on it, and with a bright and intense fire, Lu Chuan punched toward Zeng Tianqi.

Bang!!!

The punch landed on Zeng Tianqi’s chin, and before he could even block, his entire body was sent flying.

Whoosh!!

Zeng Tianqi’s body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

With a spattering sound, he spat blood from his mouth, his gaze slipping into a daze.

Then, under the relentless burning of the Divine Fire of the Sun, Zeng Tianqi suddenly became a human torch, rolling and struggling on the ground, emitting a heartrending scream.

The banquet guests heard the noise and couldn’t help feeling horrified.

A Martial Emperor, struck down by one punch from Lu Chuan, dead on the spot.

The gap in strength between them was staggeringly wide!

Lu Chuan turned to look at everyone, a serene smile on his face, “Continue to eat, continue to enjoy yourselves, don’t let this person affect your mood.”

The guests were profoundly shaken, and they obediently resumed eating seriously, and no one dared to speak out any further.

Su Qianming on the stage, seeing Lu Chuan’s figure, was overjoyed to the depths of his heart.

He ran down in a hurry, coming in front of Lu Chuan, “Young Master Lu, thank you for your intervention.

Without your help, I would have been doomed today!”

“You are practically my savior!”

He said excitedly and eagerly, as the dream position of City Lord was about to fall into his hands.

With this, everyone present had no choice but to accept it.

Anyone who didn’t would meet the same fate as Zeng Tianqi.
