Free Web NovelChapter 1378: Chapter 1459: Dignity and Reputation
Zhou Shuo’s loud shout was so high-decibel that almost the entire old street could hear it.
However...
Aside from the gusts of cold wind, there was no sound.
Zhou Shuo shouted for everyone to come out, and though his shout rang out, after a dozen seconds, there wasn’t the slightest movement.
He waited a while.
Half a minute later, still not a sound.
Zhou Shuo’s face bore a fierce and sinister expression, but none of the people ambushed around came out, causing his expression to slowly change.
What was going on?
Where were the people?
Why hadn’t a single person come out!
Zhou Shuo, being a cautious and highly intelligent person, felt an ominous premonition growing in his heart.
Although he didn’t want to believe this ominous premonition, he couldn’t shake it off!
"Impossible... How could it be..." Zhou Shuo looked at the woman named Leng Wushuang opposite him, who now had one hand on her hip, exuding an air of ease and calm from head to toe.
It was as if... she didn’t even regard Zhou Shuo as worth her attention.
And at that moment, Zhou Shuo was suddenly startled to realize that those ambushed subordinates must have met with mishap, and it was related to this woman in front of him!
Had he misjudged the situation?
For Zhou Shuo, who had weathered many storms, this misjudgment would not be so easily passed over.
In any case, Zhou Shuo’s heart could no longer remain calm. It might be acceptable if the opponent was a Martial Arts Training master, but the main thing was that all the subordinates he brought were gone—their absence spoke volumes.
What did this imply?
It meant that the woman in front of him had companions!
Moreover, if her companions could make his subordinates disappear without a sound and without sending out an alarm, it meant her companions were definitely not simple.
Sweat trickled down Zhou Shuo’s forehead, and the surroundings were silent, making the already cold night even more solemnly quiet.
Zhou Shuo couldn’t speak, maintaining his silence while his mind raced with thoughts, but Leng Wushuang lacked such patience and gradually grew impatient.
"Hey, hey, hey, weren’t you calling people? Where are they? Bring them out for me to see!" Leng Wushuang scolded Zhou Shuo mercilessly, without showing any courtesy.
After all, they were enemies, was there any need to be courteous?
But wait!
Could such riffraff even be considered as enemies?
In Leng Wushuang’s eyes, this Fourth Master Zhou of the Zhou Family didn’t even count as her enemy.
Only those enemies that she and her Second Brother faced were the real foes; could members of a dominant family that ruled a city even count as her enemies?
If Leng Wushuang’s thoughts were exposed, they would certainly cause a huge uproar.
Looking down on members of a prominent family, how high must her vision be, how arrogant must she be?
Of course, Leng Wushuang wouldn’t tell them, was there any need for her to flaunt her prowess everywhere?
"You... don’t be arrogant!" Zhou Shuo clenched his fist. Although cold sweat dripped from his forehead, he still tried to maintain calmness and poise, trying not to let himself look fearful.
With so many outsiders present, if Fourth Master Zhou fell apart, showing he was scared or frightened, the news would immediately spread throughout the circle.
Not only would Zhou Shuo not know where to put his face, but also his Zhou Family would suffer for it, being looked down upon.
After all, prominent families valued their face and reputation the most.
