Chapter 684: It is Impossible Not to Run
“Leng Aotian, Chief Leng?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with a chilling light. Niu Deng mentioned that Chief Leng was on good terms with Big Brother Heng. He had just returned from the city, and this Chief Leng already sent someone over. Could he be wanting to help Big Brother Heng take back some pride?
With Chief Leng’s status, it should be Jiang Yi who should be paying him a visit. However, right now, he asked someone to bring Jiang Yi over; it was like the Emperor was summoning for his officials? Jiang Yi wouldn’t believe it, even if someone beat him to death, that this Chief Leng wasn’t looking for trouble.
“Lead the way.”
Since someone was looking for trouble, Jiang Yi didn’t have any reason to cower away. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to hold his status as chief. He didn’t gather the men and simply walked towards the city plaza with Niu Deng and Niu Wang.
The city plaza was deserted and quiet. There was a great change in Sky Thunder Island today, and two of the chiefs had been killed. Hence, no one dared to stay in the city plaza. When Jiang Yi entered the city lord residence, he noticed that the normally bustling city lord residence was also very cold and cheerless.
“Chief Jiang, this way please.”
The one, who led the way, was rather polite as he led Jiang Yi to the largest brothel in the north. Jiang Yi walked into the large hall with large strides and took a glance. He revealed a trace of a sneer on the corner of his mouth… sure enough, Chief Leng was looking for trouble.
The hall was filled with beauties who were wearing skimpy clothes; some of them were even revealing their private parts. There were around 100 beauties there, and they were surrounded by over twenty individuals… while on the left side, on the host’s seat was a cold and stern middle-aged man. On his right was an old man whose face was filled with smiles. Big Brother Heng was also here, and he was seated below the cold and stern-looking middle-aged man. There were plenty of beauties surrounding the three of them, and they were the best-looking ones.
Two beauties were seated on Big Brother Heng whose dresses were in disorder. Big Brother Heng’s hands were separately reaching into the two beauties’ dresses and roaming around. Two more beauties were helping to give him a back massage. His looked at Jiang Yi with cold and shady eyes.
The stern-looking middle-aged man above him was also emotionless and didn’t even look at Jiang Yi when he entered. He lifted his cup to leisurely enjoy his wine. The white-bearded elder on the other side did look over with an amiable expression.
Niu Deng immediately transmitted a message: “Chief Jiang, on the left, is Chief Leng, and the on the right is Chief Li.”
Jiang Yi could guess it without Niu Deng saying it. He stood in the middle and looked around while staying silent. He had a cold expression that stated that since they weren’t going to respect him, he wasn’t going to respect them either.
“Chief Jiang?”
The amiable Chief Li saw that Chief Leng didn’t say anything; hence, he smiled and said, “Since you are here, take a seat and have a drink then.”
Jiang Yi took another glance at Chief Leng and saw that he wasn’t going to say anything. He smiled indifferently and spoke to Chief Li with cupped hands, “If it is Chief Li inviting me for a drink, I will be honored. However, it seems like Chief Li isn’t the host today, right? Since the host isn’t welcoming me, then I shall take my leave.”
Leaving as soon as he said it…
Chief Li had respected Jiang Yi; hence, he responded with respect as well. Since Chief Leng wasn’t going to give any face, Jiang Yi naturally wouldn’t be polite either. He turned around and walked out while Niu Deng and Niu Wang let out a bitter smile. Their chief truly had a fiery temper and didn’t even give any respect to the no.2 chief of the city.
Countless people’s expression had changed. Apart from Big Brother Heng’s four subordinates, the rest of the people were Chief Leng and Chief Li’s men. If Jiang Yi didn’t give respect to Chief Leng, it meant that he didn’t respect them. All of Chief Leng’s men suddenly stood up while their faces were filled with anger. If this place wasn’t within the city, they would already have drawn their weapons and started a fight.
Chief Leng was still leisurely drinking wine, but when Jiang Yi had walked to the entrance, he suddenly spoke, “Young man, don’t be too stubborn and too high-profile. Those people with a high profile in the Gods Bestow Tribe would normally die an untimely death.”
Jiang Yi had just reached the doors, and he stopped there. He didn’t turn around and simply smiled while speaking and looking over sideways, “Many thanks for Chief Leng’s reminder. But this is my temperament, and I cannot change it…”
Chief Leng let out a smile and looked at Jiang Yi for the first time. “Since you are here, come in and take a seat. I, Chief Leng, am not a barbaric and overbearing person. I am just having some drinks with Chief Li, and when Xiao Heng returned, he mentioned that he had some conflicts with you? Hence, I asked you over to have a talk.”
Chief Li also smiled and added on to the conversation. “Chief Jiang, could you give this Old Li some face? Sit down and have a cup of wine?”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi let out a long laugh and turned back inside. His speech suddenly turned polite as he spoke, “I was just mentioning to Niu Deng and Niu Wang. I was going to pay a visit to Big Sister Bell, Chief Leng, and Chief Li. It just so happened that Chief Leng invited me over. So I came over to offer the two of you a toast.”
Everyone couldn’t adapt to Jiang Yi’s sudden change of attitude. However, Jiang Yi picked up a cup of wine on the table on the right and toasted to Chief Li first before toasting to Chief Leng. Everyone could still tell that Jiang Yi wasn’t pleased.
Chief Li smiled wholeheartedly and stood up while Chief Leng also gave the face to stand up for the toast, which the three of them gulped down in a single mouthful.
Leng Aotian’s attitude had suddenly changed while Jiang Yi followed up with Chief Li’s proposal. Since this Chief Leng was the no.2 chief of the city, he must have immeasurable strength. Unless necessary, Jiang Yi naturally didn’t want to completely offend him.
Of course… if Chief Leng had maintained his earlier attitude, Jiang Yi wouldn’t have bothered and flipped out. If it was a fight they wanted, who would be afraid of them?
Someone spared out a seat which was under Chief Li. Jiang Yi led Niu Deng and Niu Wang over with poise and promptly sat down. He then lifted his cup and toasted a drink to Chief Li and said, “Chief Li, come, let me offer you another drink.”
“Keke.”
Chief Li was enjoying Jiang Yi’s attitude. He drank a cup of wine before he laughed and said, “The younger generations will replace us in due time. Chief Leng, we are already old. What were we doing when we were just teenagers? I remembered that I was still on the East Imperial Continent and using my clan’s prowess to bully and dominate the streets. Finally, one of my legs was broken by a Wu Clan’s Young Master and had implicated my clan. My clan was nearly eradicated because of it.”
Chief Leng laughed lightly and toasted a drink to Chief Li while saying, “Chief Li, didn’t you maintain your resolve for revenge for ten years? Afterward, you finally chopped up that Wu Clan’s Young Master into 18 pieces? You actually dared to chop up a Young Master from the Nine Thearchs Clan. Who would have the guts like you?”
“Chief Li is impressive!”
“Come, come, everyone, raise your cups for Chief Li’s bravery.”
“The Nine Thearchs Clan, they are the giants of the East Imperial Continent. Chief Li is too impressive!”
A group of Heaven Monarch subordinates quickly stood up to give their toast while the ladies from the brothel let out lovely waves of laughter, making the entire atmosphere lively again. Chief Li revealed a trace of pride on his face and shook his hands. “Those are stories of the past, why mention it? I am old now and can’t even lift my blade. Keke… compared to Chief Leng, my incident cannot be considered anything. Back in the days, Chief Leng actually dared to forcefully violate a Young Lady from the Jian Clan and even tortured her to death afterward. All because the Young Lady spat a mouthful of saliva at Chief Leng…”
“Wow!”
The entire crowd was flared up as they never heard about the old stories of these two individuals. They didn’t expect that the two of them to have such a glorious past. It didn’t matter if the two of them had killed or violated the direct descendants of the Wu or Jian Clans. It was already an amazing feat for them to have the guts to make a move on the members of the Nine Thearchs Clan.
Sin Island was on the opposing side of the East Imperial Continent, and they were especially hostile towards the Nine Thearchs Clan. Nearly all the people on Sin Island were those that couldn’t stay on the East Imperial Continent. When Chief Leng and Chief Li said that they actually made a move on the descendants of the Nine Thearchs Clan, their subordinates were excited as well—as though they were the ones that did the killing and the violating. They constantly offered toasts and flattery.
“Chief Leng and Chief Li are incredible. This junior toasts this drink to you!”
How could Jiang Yi not know that the two of them were mutually helping each other to boast… and it was especially for him to hear it? They were subtly trying to tell Jiang Yi that, when the two of them were basking glory, he had yet to even arrive in this world. They were asking him to be polite and be respectful to his seniors.
However, he didn’t mind it. As long as Chief Leng and Chief Li respected him, he would definitely respect them as well. He didn’t want trouble and simply wanted to stay in the city peacefully. It wasn’t a big deal to be a little humbler.
“Keke, it had already passed. Don’t mention those things anymore.”
Chief Leng revealed a smile on drank a cup of wine in response to Jiang Yi’s toast. He then looked at Jiang Yi without any expectations and asked, “Chief Jiang seemed to just arrive in the Gods Bestow Tribe recently? Could you have done something huge on the East Imperial Continent? Offended one of the great clans?”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A group of eyes turned over with curiosity. Jiang Yi possessed such strength at such a young age. He must have some treasure or some special status?
Jiang Yi laughed lightly and replied without giving any regards, “Chief Leng must be joking. I am just a small-time figure; how could I do anything huge? I came here because I have nowhere else to go. The Xie, the Jian, the Wu, and the Tu Clans were working together to chase me. It is impossible not to run…”
The entire place went speechless.
