Free Web NovelChapter 1158: Chapter 1157: Extraterrestrial Planet
Old Hill always says that the food in restaurants isn’t hygienic, that they use too much oil and salt, not good for one’s health. Yet, whenever someone invites him out, he always eats a lot.
But since he says so, everyone just smiles and makes a few casual remarks, and that’s the end of it.
When dining at Old Hill’s house that day, it was no surprise that there was a dish with a chicken leg. Qunzi liked eating this the most, so he picked around until he found a bigger one.
It was only when he started eating that he realized this chicken leg seemed noticeable. Old Hill always invited them back for a meal again a few days after their gatherings, which Qunzi already found suspicious. Seeing that chicken leg increased his doubt.
Then he discovered that this chicken leg was indeed the one he’d nibbled at the other day.
Why would Fatty think like this?
It turns out Fatty had a habit when eating chicken legs; he would eat off the skin first, because it was full of western seasonings and tasted the best.
After finishing the skin, Fatty would start gnawing on the bone. With his strong teeth, he liked to crush those tiny bones, unlike others who just ate the meat. He would take a bite, including the bone and meat altogether, then slowly eat the meat, sucking all the taste from the bone before spitting it out.
Thus, any chicken he ate was noticeably different from others.
Not only did the prominent figures in the Dark World on Bordeaux planet not get their cherished bird from the girl who came from the alien planet, but instead they were firmly taught a lesson by her.
Especially their companion, the guy with the gloomy face; he’d pulled a knife in front of Jiang Cheng but ended up with Jiang Cheng unceremoniously plunging it into his body.
If it weren’t for the quick rescue, it’s hard to say if he’d survive at all; being in this current state is already considered as fortunate amidst misfortune.
Now, the other big shots, carrying a sentiment of escaping death narrowly, surround him, watching the guy lying on the hospital bed, pale and listless.
However, although the person in front of them looks pitiful, he is actually very lucky; surviving, it’s evidently the result of his ancestors’ blessings.
The others began to relax, and their minds inevitably returned to thinking about that large sum of money. After all, it was a substantial amount.
When Old Hill advised them to give up the idea of taking that money, Fatty ridiculed him, wondering how a stingy person like him could have such an open-minded thought.
Old Hill said, "Trust me; those three extraterrestrial guys are not ones we can afford to provoke.
I want that money too, but one must have the life to spend it." He glanced at the others, "Don’t you agree?"
The others quietly nodded; just thinking about that crazy girl and the man who effortlessly took down guards with a move, sent chills through their hearts.
Even though they’ve been through knife fights and seen plenty of blood, they’ve also done similar things themselves.
In their youth, who wasn’t fearless? Who hadn’t experienced hacking others to bleeding while being wounded themselves?
Yet, they believe, even if returned to their prime, they wouldn’t be as formidable as the extraterrestrial man and woman.
They lack their brutality, their unstoppable momentum.
Just thinking about even Lord Governor Xi, whom they would cautiously avoid offending, losing his usual arrogance in front of the extraterrestrial man.
They knew the Governor Xi was always above others, never putting ordinary people in his eyes.
Realizing this, Bald suddenly muttered, "I wonder how Lord Governor will react after suffering this insult..."
Qunzi said, "No, if I were in his position, after taking this loss, I definitely wouldn’t be at ease. Considering his previous style, this matter would surely be a great shame for him."
He turned to Old Hill, "Old man, wouldn’t you agree?"
Old Hill disliked this disrespectful guy greatly, yet, since Qunzi held a relatively powerful position among them, he had to tolerate being teased by him.
Contrary to your opinion, Lord Governor might choose to endure this.
Seeing the puzzled looks of others, Old Hill explained, "Firstly, we all saw it, after the Governor’s Guard arrived, Lord Governor didn’t make any retaliating moves. Doesn’t that say something?"
"Not necessarily?" Bald opposed Old Hill, "Though I’m not familiar with Governor Xi, if he just takes a punch, that’s way too nonsensical, right?"
Old Hill said differently, "I’m not underestimating him, but he’s just a rich kid; everything’s fine when things go smoothly, but when there’re difficulties or threats to his life, he’s more cowardly than anyone."
In front of that extraterrestrial man, he seemed like a swallow with no fighting strength at all, ah yes, judging by everything, he’s already way too afraid of that man, wouldn’t dare provoke him again.
After finishing, Old Hill added, "If you don’t believe, just wait and see, it’ll turn out like I said."
But, you forget about the woman beside him." A weak voice suddenly chimed in.
Old Hill and the others turned their heads in surprise and looked at the gloomy-faced guy lying on the hospital bed.
"Even if the Governor acts as you said, frightened by the extraterrestrial man, doing nothing," the gloomy-faced guy, usually a thinker rather than fighter, regrettably acted when he shouldn’t, thus suffered a major loss."
In his remaining life, it’s likely he won’t touch knives or guns again.
Despite not feeling entirely well, his mind was still sharp.
"The Governor is done, completely lost," the gloomy-faced guy was very disrespectful towards the Governor, "However, that woman beside him, I think she’s got quite a bit of determination, so my conclusion is, the lady will try every possible way against those Three-Star Ball People."
He turned to Old Hill, "I borrow your words, just wait and see."
Fatty stood up, smiled, "Seems your spirit’s good, shouldn’t be any more danger, so we’re at ease now."
He told the others, "Then, shall we head back?"
The others stood up too, and bid farewell to the guy on the hospital bed, wishing him a good recovery and quick return to health.
After saying all the polite farewells, the three were about to leave.
"You’re just leaving like that?" The guy on the hospital bed spoke as they were on the verge of departure.
