Everyone had their eyes wide open and ears straightened up. They wanted to know why Hades would make such a decision. To them, Hades had definitely lost his mind. If not, he would not make such a peculiar move.
“Mr. Chen right here is the VVIP of Mr. Focker on this Paradise Island! I was going to bring him and his family members to the castle that is located in the center of this island! Master Focker has already prepared a Lunar New Year Eve dinner! They are about to celebrate the Lunar New Year together! You bunch of idiots! Do you know that you almost hurt and offended Master Focker’s important guest?! You should feel ashamed for asking me the question!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing that, the crowd was taken aback. They would have never thought that Chen Xiaobei was Focker’s important guest. Not only was Hades here to pick him up personally but he could also enter Focker’s castle to enjoy dinner with him! Special guests like Chen Xiaobei were extremely rare in this world. To put it in numbers, one could count it with five fingers.
“This is impossible… I don’t believe it… I will never believe it…”
Feeling shocked, Wayson started to wail hysterically. It was as if he just got out from a psych ward. As a resident of Paradise Island, he knew the consequences of offending Focker’s guest. The immense shock and fear had caused him to lose his mind within seconds.
“Someone! Please drag him out!”
With an ice-cold look, Hades shouted. After consuming the Heavenly Dog Biscuit, Hades would not care about the past relationship that he once had with Wayson. Everything that he did would place Chen Xiaobei first before anything else. Those who tried to cause harm to Chen Xiaobei would definitely be killed by Hades! Even the Jade Emperor would be hunt down by Hades if he hurt Chen Xiaobei. Also, Wayson was just only his godson with no blood ties. With such a determined attitude, it was enough to prove that Chen Xiaobei’s status on this island was not to be defiled – like a holy god!
“Yes!”
Immediately, the group of enforcers dragged Wayson out of the shop with no hesitation. All the enforcers looked at Chen Xioabei when they marched out of the shop. Filled with fear and respect, they felt fortunate that they did not lay their fingers on Chen Xiaobei. If not, they would definitely be killed by Hades. Upon seeing that, Lin Caoyin and her disciples were standing there like a statue with a baffled look.
Especially Lin Caoyin! Other than feeling extremely dumbfounded, she felt even more regret for not siding with Chen Xiaobei. In her plan, she wanted to connect with Hades through Wayson and Wei Shenjing’s relationship. That was why she chose to side with Wayson. Now, she realized that Wayson was just a turd as compared to Chen Xiaobei.
Earlier, if she chose to side with Chen Xiaobei, she would be able to build a good relationship with Hades easily. And she might even get an invitation to go to Focker’s castle as one of his guests. The moment she thought about this alternate ending, Lin Caoyin wished that she could rewind time and stand on Chen Xiaobei’s side.
“Mr. Chen. What do you want us to do with this group of ladies?”
Hades turned around and asked Chen Xiaobei politely. Upon hearing that, everyone from Tidal Faction including Lin Caoyin took in a deep breath. Clearly, they knew that their lives were in Chen Xiaobei’s hands.
“Mercy… Mr. Chen… Please let us live… We were blinded by lies… We are as stupid as pigs… Please don’t stoop to our level… We will not offend you anymore…”
Like a rat that saw a cat, Lin Caoyin and the rest of Tidal Faction’s disciples kneeled on the ground immediately. With their pupils contracted, they felt a chill going down their spines. Seeing that Wayson was sent to the water prison to be presented with ten torture methods, they knew that there was no light at the end of the tunnel since they took part in ousting Chen Xiaobei earlier.
“Do whatever you need to do!”
Chen Xiaobei did not show any mercy to them even though they kept on begging Chen Xiaobei to let them live. The truth was all of them did not deserve any mercy from Chen Xiaobei.
“Someone! Please drag all of them to the water prison! Deal with them like how you deal with Wayson Kim!”
“Hold on! Mr. Chen! I’m the faction leader of Tidal Faction, Lin Caoyin. And I’m Lin Xiang’s sifu as well! For my sake, can you please let them live?”
“No!”
Before Lin Caoyin could finish her words, Chen Xiaobei interrupted her.
“This…”
Taken aback, Lin Caoyin felt extremely frustrated. She was after all the faction leader of an ancient faction and an elite with Celestial cultivation. She had never lowered down herself so much to beg someone to let them go. To her surprise, Chen Xiaobei had no intention to say yes to her.
“Mr. Chen! Forgive me for being straightforward! Don’t you think you are acting too cruel as a man?”
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei’s heart would not be softened, she had to try to persuade Chen Xiaobei to let them go.
“Hehe…”
No one could ever persuade Chen Xiaobei into doing something that he did not want to do because his state of mind had already grown a lot.
“I’d given you a chance to make this right! When you stepped into this shop, I told you to check the CCTV footage and deal with this incident in a fair manner! Do you even know what you just did to me?!”
“You sided with the wrong party and you wanted me to be killed! Now, you want to me to let you live just because you are a faction leader of an ancient faction?! I have never seen such a shameless person! Not even the thickness of the Great Wall of China can be compared with the thickness of your face! You really shouldn’t call me narrow-minded! Showing you mercy is equivalent to bringing trouble to myself!”
“Actually, I’m quite baffled by what you just did! Aren’t you the faction leader of an ancient faction? How can you voice out such stupid request? Are you sure you are not here to put on a show and make us laugh?!”
With a stern look, Chen Xiaobei brought Lin Caoyin down with the cold hard truth firmly.
“I…”
Rendered speechless, Lin Caoyin’s face flushed and she could no longer look Chen Xiaobei right in the eyes. She thought she could persuade Chen Xiaobei into doing what she wanted him to do. In the end, she was shamed by her own words.
Side with the wrong side!
Shameless!
Ruthless!
Stupid!
All these words and phrases turned into cold-hard slaps to her face. She had never experienced such embarrassment in her life before. Having no way to counter Chen Xiaobei, Lin Caoyin wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
“Someone! Bring…”
Hades was about to order someone to bring them to the water prison.
“Hold on! Xiaobei! Why not just let them go? Sifu treats me really well all this while! I don’t want to see the two of you turned into enemies,” said Lin Xiang.
“Right! Mr. Chen! For Shimei Lin’s sake! Please let us live!”
“We will treat her like our dear sister… Ah… No… We will treat her like our lady boss!”
Immediately, Wei Shenjing and the rest of them started to beg Chen Xiaobei to let them go as well. This was their final chance to beg for their lives.
“Mr. Chen! We know that we have wronged you. You have no obligation to let us live. But, for the sake of Xiang’er. Please let us live. I promise you that if you let us go, I will make Xiang’er my sister! And she will become the vice faction leader of my faction! Her authority in the faction will be as powerful as mine!”
“Eh?”
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei started to smile.
‘My woman as the vice faction leader of an ancient faction? Sounds really cool!”
