“I don’t think your father dares to say that this is perfectly justifiable, right?” Wang Teng ignored Cao Guan’s death glare and leaned against his chair. He found a comfortable position for himself as he spoke.
There were many ways to distinguish the authenticity of a will in the martial warriors’ world. Thus, Cao Hongtu didn’t dare to fake a will.
If he did that, he would be belittling the Great Qian Noble Family Consultation Chamber and the authority of the empire. He would be punished severely even if he was a universe-stage martial warrior, much less a heaven-stage martial warrior.
Cao Guan’s face turned red. Flames of anger almost shot out of his eyes. He realized that he couldn’t gain any advantage in front of this young brat. All his words were useless.
Moreover, this brat kept placing himself at the same level as his father. It sounded as if he was a generation younger than him. This was frustrating.
This interesting scene caused many people to look at Cao Guan.
Wang Teng’s performance was unexpected. They didn’t think that this young man who appeared out of nowhere had such a sharp tongue. He managed to render Cao Guan speechless.
Also, Wang Teng was just a planetary-stage martial warrior. To the people present, a planetary-stage martial warrior was nothing. Yet this planetary-stage young man was able to remain composed in front of them and refute Cao Guan’s questions with a reasonable argument. His performance was outstanding.
Many people had a good first impression of Wang Teng.
In comparison, they had a bad impression of Cao Guan’s family. They didn’t mind watching him make a fool of himself.
“Wang Teng, you’re good at talking back to people. You didn’t disappoint me. You did well!” Round Ball laughed happily in Wang Teng’s mind.
Wang Teng didn’t know what to say. “Somehow, it doesn’t sound like a compliment.”
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m definitely praising you,” Round Ball chuckled as it said resolutely.
“Everyone!” A voice resounded. Everyone got attracted by it and looked over, including Wang Teng.
A bald and muscular hunk had his hands crossed on the table, with a blue flame symbol marked on his forehead. Blue flames were shimmering in his eyes like real flames burning. When he scanned the crowd, many people frowned. They seemed afraid of him.
Cao Guan was elated when he saw the bald hunk speaking.
Wang Teng noticed this change too. He turned serious and asked in his mind, “Round Ball, do you know this person?”
“I don’t know him, but he’s probably from the Parkers family,” Round Ball explained quickly in a stern tone.
“The Parkers family? Are they famous?” Wang Teng asked.
“They’re one of the eight most ancient families in the empire. It is said that their ancestors killed a universe behemoth, the Blazing Giant Dragon. They bathed in the dragon’s blood and gained a powerful fire physique. They can absorb all kinds of special flames for their own use, so their battle ability is extremely powerful. Look at the blue flame symbol on his head. This is the symbol of the Parkers family. At the same time, it represents a special flame,” Round Ball said.
“The Blazing Giant Dragon!” Wang Teng exclaimed in surprise. “I didn’t know such legendary creatures existed in the universe.”
“The universe is vast. Nothing is strange here,” Round Ball said with contempt. Wang Teng was so ignorant.
The Parkers family bathed in the dragon’s blood and gained a special fire physique that allows them to absorb special flames into their body. If I can get the Blazing Giant Dragon, how amazing will it be? Wang Teng was excited. He wished he could find a Blazing Giant Dragon immediately and knock attributes out of it.
“Round Ball, where can you find a Blazing Giant Dragon?” he asked instantly.
“I don’t know. Universe behemoths like the Blazing Giant Dragon are a mysterious and rare presence. Ordinary people won’t be able to find them. I only know that they live in places full of fire Force. it might even be the birthplace of a divine flame.” Round Ball smiled. “If one can find the Blazing Giant Dragon, he might be able to find a divine flame too.”
Wang Teng’s eyes lit up.
A divine fire!
He possessed the Emerald Glazed Flame and the Holy Flame so he knew how amazing divine fires were. If he could get another divine fire… how great would that be?
“What are you thinking? Your saliva is almost dripping down,” Round Ball suddenly asked.
Wang Teng: …
“Stop thinking about the Blazing Giant Dragon. You have no chance of surviving if you meet one. Every Blazing Giant Dragon is extremely powerful. Adult dragons are at the eternal stage or above,” Round Ball continued.
“Eternal stage and above! They’re more powerful than the Divine Tempest Bird!” Wang Teng widened his eyes in surprise.
“What do you think?” Round Ball was speechless.
“Alright.” Wang Teng shook his head, giving up on the thought of finding the Blazing Giant Dragon temporarily. His gaze then landed on the bald muscular hunk again. “But this fellow seems to have lots of attributes for me.”
The Parkers family possessed the fire physique. They could merge with fire. Even if it wasn’t as powerful as the Blazing Giant Dragon, it wouldn’t be weak.
His eyes lit up again. To him, the bald muscular hunk and the family he belonged to became his sheep, the kind with lots of attribute bubbles for him to collect.
“Be careful. This family is obsessed with fire, and they’re domineering. They will snatch any fire they see. If they know that you possess a divine flame, they will try all kinds of ways to snatch it from you,” Round Ball reminded him.
Wang Teng went speechless.
He was thinking about how to get more attribute bubbles out of the other party, but Round Ball told him that the other party might be eyeing his divine flame.
He couldn’t bear this.
“Let them come if they want. Let’s see who will be the winner.” Wang Teng was furious.
“Oh right, I forgot to tell you that the Parkers family has a hereditary duke title. They’re one of the eight dukes of different surnames in the empire,” Round Ball said calmly.
“F**k!” Wang Teng cursed in his heart.
He thought that it was a fat sheep, but it was actually a frightening giant beast.
However, Wang Teng had a merit. He loved to challenge himself. He was someone who dared to challenge the terrifying Divine Tempest Bird to get some attributes out of it. Thus, even though the Parkers family was a huge beast, he wasn’t afraid. He would still collect the bubbles he wanted.
Of course, he wouldn’t be as reckless as he was in the virtual universe. After all, this was the real world. He wouldn’t get another chance if he died.
“Sinclamon, what do you have to say?” The old man’s voice pulled Wang Teng back into reality.
“Head of the council, let’s put aside Cao Hongtu’s inheritance issue. After all, he has made many great contributions to the empire on the battlefield. We mustn’t dishearten him. The important thing now is to ascertain this person’s identity. If he’s speaking the truth, we can talk about the inheritance issue again. If he’s lying…” The bald Sinclamon raised his chin at the old man in front. There was a sharp glint in his eyes. “The Great Qian Empire will never allow this to happen.”
