Chapter 241
A wealthy young master dressed in opulence approached, followed by seven or eight attendants.
His appearance was handsome and charming enough, but that superior attitude, along with the disdain for the lower class Beastmen between his brows, made him appear twisted and irritating.
The originally casual and dismissive clerk immediately plastered on a fawning smile upon seeing him approach, quickly walked over to greet him, “Young Master Liu! You’ve arrived p>
Flattering words followed one after another.
The Liu Family is also one of the Empire’s major aristocratic families, not as prestigious as the top-ranked Yun Family and Lu Family, but still among the top ten in the Imperial City, wielding considerable influence.
This Young Master Liu is a carefree spender, a regular patron of the store, who at a young age holds a key position in the military, earning admiration from everyone he meets.
Xiao Jin turned coldly towards the newcomer, unexpected to encounter Liu Chen here.
Their familiarity couldn’t be more profound.
Unfortunately, it was the kind of familiarity that comes with enemies meeting.
Back in the military days, Liu Chen always found Xiao Jin distasteful, couldn’t comprehend why a mere slum-born commoner could sit alongside him, the proud young master of the Liu Family.
Later, Xiao Jin even made several achievements on the battlefield, quickly leapfrogging to become the Empire’s youngest Major General, severely outshining him!
Liu Chen harbored resentment in his heart, often plotting against Xiao Jin both openly and covertly.
Liu Chen only holds a nominal position in the military, but with the backing of the Liu Family’s power, the military personnel dared not to act against him, and some even deliberately aided him in targeting Xiao Jin secretly.
Since over a year ago when Xiao Jin was exiled to the contaminated lands, Liu Chen felt highly delighted.
He quickly utilized family connections to snatch the Major General position.
Now, he is in high spirits, thriving with success!
Liu Chen hadn’t expected to run into Xiao Jin today, recalling past events, gritting his teeth in fury.
In his heart, he sneered: So what if this poor wretch has strong talent, isn’t he now a civilian again? Not even fit to serve as my servant!
He approached Xiao Jin with a superior attitude, curling his lips in ridicule, “This young master remembers, Aeternum isn’t a place for paupers. Can you afford its products p>
“A mere commoner, without even the qualification to enter p>
Xiao Jin’s hands at his side clenched into fists, suppressing the urge to lash out, merely glancing coldly at Liu Chen before returning to browsing the jewelry on the shelves.
Shen Tang’s reputation had just improved, he didn’t want to cause trouble for her.
Liu Chen, seeing himself ignored by Xiao Jin, his face turned gloomy and twisted, confused in his heart: This dead leopard used to ignite at the slightest provocation, why is he so quiet today?
Ha, the feeling of falling from heaven to hell, must be uncomfortable!
This commoner worked tirelessly for years, ultimately, everything was for naught.
Such a blow, probably anyone couldn’t bear it.
Now this wretch has learned his lesson, had he been willing to submit back then, he wouldn’t have faced my difficulties repeatedly.
Liu Chen’s arrogance intensified, he lunged forward and shoved him hard, “Weren’t you impressive back then? Come on, why are you silent today p>
Xiao Jin endured without lashing out, coldly warning, “Don’t go too far p>
Liu Chen, seeing him remain silent, burst into laughter, “Oh? Look who it is, isn’t this the famous Empire Vice Admiral from back then? Why are you now silent like a quail p>
“You, a slum-born commoner, didn’t you climb high by marrying that Princess p>
“No, that useless Princess holds no real power, like you, both are low-class commoners, you two really are! A perfect match p>
“Why are you out alone today, could it be that useless Princess got tired of you, abandoned you, hahaha——Ah p>
The laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a piercing scream.
Xiao Jin smashed a punch onto Liu Chen’s face, the whistling wind of the fist lifted him several meters away, crashing through a row of counters, landing heavily on the ground, two bloody front teeth flew out mid-air, his nasal bone nearly fractured!
The sudden commotion shocked everyone in the shop.
The clerks fled in panic, seeking places to hide.
The store manager quickly dialed the Light Computer, contacting the nearby police station.
Xiao Jin twisted his wrist, causing a crunchy sound, his fierce golden eyes glared at the disheveled Liu Chen on the ground, his thin lips curled into a wicked smile, “A Sixth Rank Beastman dares to bark in front of me, really thought I wouldn’t dare touch you p>
“You! You commoner dared to lay hands on this young master p>
Liu Chen, clutching his face, crawled up from the ground in terror, eyes bursting with rage.
Half his face was covered in blood, looking ghostly, he yelled at his nearby attendants, “What are you idiots standing there for? Get him! Kill him for me p>
The attendants awakened from a daze, rushing forward.
Xiao Jin sneered coldly, darting forward like lightning, engaging in battle with the group.
Though outnumbered, he showed no sign of disadvantage.
“Boom p>
Another heavy punch, harshly knocking down the Lion Clan Beastman.
Someone transformed their hands into claws, tearing at his back.
Xiao Jin let out a deep beastly growl, turning to kick the person down, smashing through the showcase glass, leaving them head broken and bleeding, knocked out cold.
One Beastman, face full of panic, rapidly drew a gun and fired.
Xiao Jin’s speed was astounding, bullets grazed his skin, failing to hit vital spots.
He appeared instantly before the Beastman, punched his abdomen, grabbed the gun, and fired at the Wolf Beast’s thigh ready to ambush from behind!
In just a few minutes, Xiao Jin had knocked all of them to the ground.
Liu Chen, watching the blood-soaked Xiao Jin, his face turned extremely pale, turned and ran towards the door.
The next second, Xiao Jin tackled him to the ground.
Xiao Jin mounted the defeated hound, veins bulging in his arms, delivering a hard punch to his face.
Bang! Liu Chen’s face skewed to one side, moaning and spewing a large mouthful of blood, splattering into his eyes, turning his vision crimson.
Xiao Jin grinned madly, cruel and ruthless, “Back in the military, I beat you till you cried for your father and mother, and now it seems you haven’t grown at all p>
“A wretch crushed under me for so long dares to bark wildly in front of me p>
“Bark, dare you bark aimlessly again p>
Another punch, harshly smashing Liu Chen’s nose, this time, the nasal bone completely shattered!
Like a storm of punches, left Liu Chen swallowing teeth and coughing blood, unable to utter a scream, soon police arrived separating the two, saving half his life.
The police were shocked by the scene upon arrival. Liu Chen was battered blue and black, covered in blood, his handsome face ruined severely!
“You, you just wait, I… I won’t let you off, I will, I will make you! Die here Liu Chen’s breath was pain-filled.
He wanted to curse loudly, but opening his mouth brought excruciating pain, causing him to writhe on the ground, his face twisted and sinister like a vengeful ghost!
Xiao Jin completely disregarded his threats, if he truly feared death, he wouldn’t have come here.
Thinking of Shen Tang p>
He’ll definitely face her scolding when he goes back.
Can’t let her find out about this.
Xiao Jin puzzled over how not to get scolded when returning home.
The police hurriedly sent Liu Chen to the hospital, while they took Xiao Jin back to file a report.
Xiao Jin knew his actions were appalling, he did not resist, only asked the police to wait a moment.
He turned to the counter, asking, “I want to buy that bracelet p>
His clothes were in tatters, stained with blood, indistinguishable whether it’s his own or others’. Along with his aura of murder, he seemed like a murderer!
The clerks trembled in fear, forgetting about performance, swiftly provided the item to send this King Yama away.
Happy holidays, lovelies. It’s late today, more updates after midnight, go to sleep first～
