418 A Hidden Dragon (1/2)
Everyone was impressed by Chen Xiaobei after the battle.
Even the arrogant and experienced Jianghu elite Wu Tianhe was bowing and apologizing to him. The veteran was utterly grateful and showed utmost reverence. ”Mr. Chen, thank you so much for saving my life!” He exclaimed. ”You're free to hit me for offending you earlier! I'm truly sorry!”
Wu Tianhe could only watch as the old man in grey robes and his followers made short work of his own team. Chen Xiaobei, however, easily tore them apart and made the old man kneel, begging for mercy. There was no way the veteran would act like a rival anymore; in fact, he had every intent to befriend Chen Xiaobei right now.
”Mr. Chen, we're so sorry! We have embarrassed you earlier… I hope you can forgive us…” Both Bai Libin and Lin Yufei also quickly bowed and apologized to Chen Xiaobei after seeing their senior doing so.
”Alright… Don't worry about it… I'm too lazy to make you guys pay for what you guys did…” Chen Xiaobei waved them off nonchalantly.
”Thank you, Mr. Chen… Thank you…” Bai Libin and Lin Yufei look relieved.
Luo Puti was awestruck at the sight of those prideful Six Door Organization Officers who now acted so polite and humble towards Chen Xiaobei. She now realized that the youth was neither simple nor predictable, and that he still had many other surprises to offer. He was the man destined to change the world – whether it was the high heavens or the deepest abyss, there was no limits to what he could do to move them.
”Idiot. Keep growing, I look forward to the day you become stronger!” Luo Puti smiled. Though she had seen many heroes and important individuals, none of them could do what Chen Xiaobei did.
He was powerful!
He was pompous!
There was none like him!
Furthermore, there was that king-of-the-world aura he possessed, enough for him to dominate against anything in this world. In this very moment, he was her ideal.
”Honey, don't just stare. You could just scream if you think I'm handsome and cool!” Chen Xiaobei walked towards her cheekily and held her hand.
”Tut! Your face is thicker than the Great Walls of China. I'll never tell you that you're handsome, even though I think you are!” Luo Puti pouted, but let him hold her hand without struggling.
Wu Tianhe and the rest of the officers did not argue against their public display of affection; they initially believed that Luo Puti was blind for choosing Chen Xiaobei, but now things had changed. They now know that he was a hidden dragon fated to rule the heavens, and there would be none who could stand against him!
Wu Tianhe gulped. He quietly decided that he would make Wu Jiechao apologize to Chen Xiaobei when he returned to Dragon City. The Jianghu veteran was aware of the importance of building a firm relationship with men like Chen Xiaobei early on; he would have a hard time getting into his good graces after he climbed to the top. He would tell the entire Qing Wu faction to worship Chen Xiaobei like a god if it was necessary.
”I think we best stay here for the night since everyone is injured,” Chen Xiaobei said. ”We could leave first thing tomorrow morning …”
”Yes… Bai Libin, contact the Green Vine City police for a cleanup. Don't drag Mr. Chen into this matter at all cost, just tell them it's Six Doors Organization business!”
