Free Web NovelChapter 177: Chapter 177: Hundred Marvels Fist, Not for Sale
The attendant looked up when he heard this. His face was red and swollen, and there was fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
After thanking Lu Chao, the attendant replied, "He said he wanted to buy the strongest martial techniques from our Dragon Flame Branch, so I brought them out for him. But then he insisted on saying I was a snob who looks down on people."
"I even brought out several martial techniques for him to choose from, but he slapped me without another word and stomped me under his foot."
At this point, the young attendant burst into tears.
Meanwhile, in the center of the trading company’s main hall...
The woman with the Cyan Fire Order was clutching her face, her eyes burning with a rage she struggled to suppress.
"Sir, if you have an issue, let’s talk it out."
"You’ve been resorting to violence this whole time. Do you think our Hundred Flames Trading Company is easy to bully?"
She was, after all, a holder of the Cyan Fire Order. The Hundred Flames Trading Company had a long history, with branches throughout the Hundred Countries, including many in both the Great Wu Empire and the Nanye Dynasty. They were an immense power.
If she weren’t completely baffled by this man’s identity, there was no way the woman with the Cyan Fire Order would have tolerated this.
But Zheng Zhuhe just sneered. "Of course *you’re* not easy to bully. I’m the one who’s easy to bully, right? You snobs who look down on people."
Every word from Zheng Zhuhe dripped with intense hatred.
Suddenly, he used his power to pull the few martial arts pamphlets from the floor and said, "I told you I want to buy the strongest martial techniques from your Dragon Flame Branch. What is this damn trash you gave me? Take a good look for yourselves."
As he spoke, Zheng Zhuhe hurled the pamphlets at the woman with the Cyan Fire Order.
She quickly caught them.
After a quick glance, her expression darkened. "These *are* the strongest martial techniques our Dragon Flame Branch has for sale."
The moment she finished speaking... WHOOSH!
Zheng Zhuhe tried to slap her again, but this time the woman with the Cyan Fire Order was prepared and took a step back to dodge. However, unable to stomach the insult, she immediately lunged forward and viciously struck out at Zheng Zhuhe with her palm.
However, just as her palm strike was launched, a low voice roared, "You dare touch our young master? You’re courting death!"
In that instant, two Transformation Realm Peak masters shot out from the crowd.
They unleashed two thunderous palm strikes at the woman with the Cyan Fire Order. frёewebnoѵēl.com
BANG! BANG! The woman with the Cyan Fire Order was instantly knocked back several steps. She let out a cry as a mouthful of blood sprayed from her lips, her face immediately turning pale.
The two masters landed with a thud, positioning themselves in front of Zheng Zhuhe.
On the side of the Hundred Flames Trading Company... SHING! SHING! SHING!
One by one, the guards drew their Weapons and surrounded the woman with the Cyan Fire Order, their expressions incredibly tense.
Clutching her chest, the woman with the Cyan Fire Order asked again, "Who in the world are you people? I am Wu Fenyu. How have I offended you?"
She finally understood completely. They were here to cause trouble, to wreck the place.
Zheng Zhuhe laughed menacingly. "Didn’t I tell you? You’re a bunch of snobs who look down on people. By not bringing out your best martial techniques to sell me, you’re looking down on me. You’re a big business bullying its customers."
"And another thing, I’ve been telling you for ages to get someone of a higher rank to deal with me, but you’re the only one who keeps yapping on and on."
He acted as if the Hundred Flames Trading Company had been the first to slight him.
Suppressing her anger, Wu Fenyu replied, "Currently, I am the one in charge of the Dragon Flame Royal Capital Branch..."
Before she could finish, Zheng Zhuhe cut her off harshly. "Where’s Witch Ying? I want him to attend to me."
He had finally lost his patience and roared out the name of his target.
Wu Fenyu’s expression flickered slightly before she replied, "My father, Witch Ying, has stepped out on business."
"Fine. Even if he’s out, what about the Shadow Form Hundred Marvels Fist?" Zheng Zhuhe forcefully named his other target: the martial technique.
In an instant, the color drained from Wu Fenyu’s face.
’Hardly anyone knows that Father obtained the Shadow Form Hundred Marvels Fist.’
’How does this man know? Could he have come specifically for this martial technique, one of the top ten in the Great Wu Empire?’
Zheng Zhuhe loomed over her again, his attitude condescending.
"What do you have to say for yourself now? Do you still dare to claim that this trash you gave me represents the strongest martial techniques of your Dragon Flame Branch?"
At these words, panic flashed in Wu Fenyu’s eyes.
’I’ve walked right into this young man’s trap. I have no idea how he found out about the Shadow Form Hundred Marvels Fist.’
’If I admit we have it, I’m admitting that I was looking down on him.’
’But if I don’t admit it... we clearly do have the Shadow Form Hundred Marvels Fist, and he obviously found out about it from somewhere.’
At that moment, Zheng Zhuhe strode forward, pressing her. "Why so quiet?"
Wu Fenyu retreated a small step, took a deep breath, and replied, "The Shadow Form Hundred Marvels Fist is not for sale."
She had admitted it, but it was true that it wasn’t for sale. It hadn’t even been priced yet.
Zheng Zhuhe immediately stopped in his tracks, then let out a series of menacing laughs. "Good, as long as you admit it. Admitting it means you were looking down on me. Men! First, go break that attendant’s legs."
As he spoke, the color drained from Wu Fenyu’s face again.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Zheng Zhuhe saw someone helping the attendant up. He roared in fury, "You dare help that trashy, snobbish attendant? Break his legs too!"
At his command, several more Innate Masters shot out from the crowd, instantly rushing toward the attendant.
And the person helping the attendant up was none other than Lu Chao.
"Stop! How dare you!"
Wu Fenyu cried out and tried to rush over, but the two Transformation Peak masters blocked her path. She could only watch helplessly as several Innate Masters charged toward the attendant and the innocent customer who was helping him.
In the next instant, this young, innocent customer suddenly looked up and did something completely unexpected.
With a flash, he appeared in front of the attendant and threw a rapid series of punches...
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
One punch for each of them. The Innate Masters were sent flying on the spot like scattered fireworks, screaming in agony.
THUD! THUD! THUD! They landed one by one, spitting up blood.
Zheng Zhuhe’s menacing smile froze. Wu Fenyu was stunned. The two Transformation Peak masters were stunned. The onlookers and attendants all stared with wide eyes.
Slowly, the "innocent customer" raised his head, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
Finally, Zheng Zhuhe slowly turned to size him up. A cruel expression appeared on his face as he asked, "Who are you to meddle in my business?"
Lu Chao gave a cold smile. "Zheng Zhuhe, you were about to break my legs, and you’re asking why I’m meddling?"
As soon as he said this... HISS!
A great number of people in the crowd gasped, staring at Zheng Zhuhe in disbelief.
Only now did they realize that the troublemaker was actually the greatest prodigy of the Saint Bone Zheng Family.
After her initial shock, Wu Fenyu’s expression changed to one of alarm.
’So that’s why he was causing a scene. Could it be? Has Father been exposed?’
’Regarding the matter of kidnapping Zheng Zhuhe, Witch Ying hadn’t told anyone except for her, his daughter... There’s no way someone from the Hundred Flames Trading Company betrayed Father... Could Yin Ye have leaked it?’
’That’s even more impossible...’
’Yin Ye and the Saint Bone Zheng Family are like fire and water. He would never betray Father.’
While everyone was still reeling in shock, Zheng Zhuhe’s expression darkened as he looked back at Lu Chao. "You... you know me?"
Zheng Zhuhe spent most of his time in Saint Zheng City.
He had never appeared at the Celestial King Academy either. Logically speaking, very few people in the Dragon Flame Royal Capital should be able to recognize him.
The next moment, one of the Transformation Peak masters said, "Young Master, that’s the Fake Lu Chao."
