Chapter 316: Chapter 0316: Accompany You in Death

"Tang Batian, I admit I can’t beat you, but don’t get cocky! Otherwise, you’ll pay the price for your arrogance!"

Huo Tianqian didn’t explicitly state that the person who would make Tang Batian pay was Chu Ge.

But Nangong Yunhai, who was standing aside, understood. He glanced at Chu Ge and saw that his eyes had already begun to change.

His icy pupils emitted a dangerous sharpness, shooting out like frost and causing an involuntary shiver.

However, aside from Nangong Yunhai, no one else, their attention fixated on Tang Batian, Shen Congwen, and Huo Tianqian, noticed Chu Ge’s transformation.

"Hahaha." Tang Batian couldn’t help but laugh, and the more he laughed, the more uncontrollable he became until at last, he was practically gasping for breath, "I’m telling you, Huo Tianqian, you’re in no position to care for others - better see to yourself first!"

He glanced at his watch, then said, "Alright, it’s getting late, let’s take the Earth Ganoderma and bring Huo Tianqian back to report!"

He hadn’t expected that his request to be assigned the task to capture Huo Tianqian would be snatched away by the second small team, yet here he stumbled upon the scene.

It seemed his luck was through the roof today!

Tang Batian was even tempted to go buy a lottery ticket.

"You, take Huo Tianqian and Shen Congwen to the side. As for these two..." Tang Batian stroked his chin and pondered for a moment as he looked at Chu Ge and Nangong Yun Hai, "Just throw this loser out, you can tell by his clothes he probably doesn’t have much money on him. As for this one, judging by his attire, he must be a rich young master..."

"Captain, I know this person, he’s an honored guest of the Shen Family, from Jing City," said Shen Xing with a sycophantic smile, "Hasn’t the Tang Family always wanted to build relations with Jing City? Perhaps, this person..."

"You don’t know shit!" Tang Batian cut Shen Xing off before he could finish, punching him hard on the head, "The kind of connections the Tang Family wants to make must be with one of the Six Great Families of Jing City! Look at this pretty boy, despite dressing smartly, does he look like he’s from one of the great families?"

Tang Batian snorted dismissively, then waved his hand, "Have him cough up some ransom money to buy his life! And if he doesn’t have it, then throw him out with that loser!"

Originally, everyone thought that when Tang Batian talked about throwing them out, he simply meant to physically remove them.

But now, it seemed that his so-called throwing out was actually a desire for their lives!

Upon hearing this, Huo Tianqian could no longer suppress himself, "Tang Batian! Do you know that Mr. Chu is an esteemed guest of the Tang Family!"

Worried that his words were not weighty enough, he quickly added, "Personally invited by the Tang Family’s young miss, Tang Xin!"

Tang Xin?

Upon hearing the name Tang Xin, a flash of light swiftly crossed the bottom of Tang Batian’s eyes, then he became mockingly scornful due to Huo Tianqian’s words, "What did you say? I must have heard wrong. Did you say Lady Tang serves this loser as an esteemed guest?"

Damn it! Even a joke needs to look somewhat credible, okay? Does he really take Tang Batian for a fool?

"It’s true!" Shen Congwen chimed in, "Just now, during the meal, Tang Xin herself acknowledged that Mr. Chu is an esteemed guest of the Tang Family!"

Tang Batian was somewhat baffled, not yet having the chance to ponder thoroughly when he heard Shen Xing snort disdainfully from aside, "Shen Congwen, who in Su City doesn’t know about the discord between the Shen and Tang Families? And you claim you were eating with Lady Tang Xin? What an utter tall tale!"

"What?" Tang Batian glared at Shen Congwen, "Damn it, you even dare to covet Lady Tang!"

Tang Xin may be known by her nickname "Little Chili" in Su City, but inside Tang Sect, she’s deeply adored by the disciples, some even idolizing her as the woman of their dreams.

And Tang Batian is one of those admirers; he cannot tolerate anyone speaking ill of his dream goddess, especially if it’s Shen Congwen who’s talking.

Who is Shen Congwen? He’s the Tang Family’s number one public enemy!

Shen Congwen saying he dined with Tang Xin? He hasn’t even had the chance to eat with her himself!

The more Tang Batian thought about it, the angrier he became until he couldn’t hold back. Stepping forward, he slapped Shen Congwen across the face with such force that his cheek immediately swelled red and a trickle of blood formed at the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it! Enough babbling! You shared a meal with Lady Tang Xin? Hell, I’ve even been in bed with her!" Tang Batian snorted, barking out, "Shen Congwen, you wanted to save these two people’s lives just now, didn’t you? Well, now I’m giving you a chance. Let’s see how you perform!"

While Shen Congwen was dealing with the slap, over at Chu Ge’s side, the fatty pushed Nangong Yunhai and demanded, "You! Give us one hundred thousand yuan, and we won’t kill you!"

Nangong Yunhai narrowed his eyes, showing no fear of these men, maybe because Chu Ge was present. "Do you know who I am? One hundred thousand? Hah."

He hadn’t realized before that his worth was so pitifully low.

The fatty mistook his reaction for a reluctance to pay and patted him on the shoulder, "One hundred thousand yuan for your life is already a good deal! If you were as rich as Shen Congwen, maybe we’d ask you for a million!"

Nangong Yunhai let out a laugh, "And what if I refuse?"

He didn’t want to reveal his identity. After all, it would be quite shameful to be blackmailed into paying one hundred thousand or even a million yuan for his life. The young masters in Jing City would certainly laugh him to death, ridiculing him for being the prestigious Young Master Nangong, worth no more than a mere million yuan.

"Refuse? Then don’t blame us for not being polite!"

The fatty hadn’t yet grabbed hold of Nangong Yunhai’s shoulder when his chubby paw was forcefully seized. In an instant, a ’crack’ resounded alongside a pig-slaughter-like scream that echoed over the villa.

"Ah!!! Pain, pain, pain!"

The fatty had no idea what had happened, only feeling an excruciating pain in his wrist, bringing him to tears.

When he finally saw what had happened, his wrist had been broken!

"Who the hell did this! Was it you?" the fatty pointed at Huo Tianqian and cursed, "Damn you! Huo Tianqian, you dared to break my goddamn hand!"

Eh?

Wait a minute!

The fatty paused. Huo Tianqian’s hand was already broken by them, but just now...

That genuine touch.

The fatty’s wary gaze suddenly shifted to Chu Ge, a handsome man dressed casually, who strangely emanated a sense of danger.

On the other hand, Shen Congwen, dazed from the slap, felt a bit woozy.

"Shen Congwen, you don’t want those two people to lose their lives alongside you, do you?" Tang Batian initially had no intention of taking Shen Congwen’s life, but Shen Congwen had crossed the line by bringing up Tang Xin, touching Tang Batian’s raw nerve. So, he decided, Shen Congwen’s life was no longer worth sparing!
