492 A Slap Worth Watching (1/2)

”What an idiot! He's actually happy for getting trash! Hohoho!” Niu the mixologist chuckled at Chen Xiaobei the idiot.

Chen Xiaobei merely stayed calm – in fact, he was doing his best not to laugh.

Senile old fool! Who's the idiot? You'd just gave up a 50 million Yuan herbal essence like it was trash!

Yap Liangchen, however, was oblivious of that fact. He had been quiet the whole time, but finally exploded when Niu mocked Chen Xiaobei.

”Old man, how dare you talk like that! Don't blame me for returning the favor!”

”Hoho… Master Yap is so violent! Kid, don't you forget that this Herbal Shop belongs to the Wu Family. So please, I dare you lay a finger on me!”

It was thanks to his powerful backing that the old man was acting so arrogant. The Chinese Knotweed he obtained was a huge boon for the Wu Family, therefore he was enjoying himself even as Yap Liangchen threatened him.

”You… I'll have you eat your own words. Believe me when I say I could mess you up!” Yap Liangchen seethed. He was, at the very least, a member of a powerful family; he would never accept such humiliation! If Niu did not tread carefully, he will be eating Yap Liangchen's fist he realized.

”Mr. Yap. Who is it that you're going to beat up again?”

As the atmosphere tensed, a voice filled with malice rang from behind Yap Liangchen. He turned around immediately to find an snobbish young man with two older men who were almost the same age as Niu the Mixologist.

”You! What are you doing here!” The young man screamed the moment he saw Chen Xiaobei in the shop, and fixed him a hostile glare. He was the same person Chen Xiaobei has given a good beating in the auction – Wu Jiechao.

”Well, if it wasn't Wu Jiechao,” Chen Xiaobei sniggered at the mere mention of his name (1). ”How do you do?”

”Fuck you! My name is Wu Jiechao, not Wu Jiechao!” The other bellowed.

”Oh, come on! It's the same spelling!” Chen Xiaobei teased, smiling.

”Pfft!” Yap Liangchen had tried to hold in his laughter but failed. ”Hahahaha! Bro Bei is just the best! Wu Jiechao… Pfft! Hahahaha!”

Blood rushed to his cheeks as Wu Jiechao clenched every muscle in his body. ”Fuckers! Is it death you wish for?!”

”Oh! I take that you want another fight then?” Chen Xiaobei smirked and threw the gauntlet daringly.

The first he fought Wu Jiechao and won, he had much lower combat power. Now that his combat power had risen to another level, crushing the arrogant man right then was easier than cracking an egg.

Naturally, Wu Jiechao would not know about that. ”Hmph!” He strutted pridefully. ”Did you really think you could handle me with the help of Yap Liangchen? I'll even give you a kind advise, he isn't up to my level!”

”Cough! Master Wu. The reason you've called us here was for the Hundred Year Ambergris. But…seeing that you have other matters to tend to, we shall take our leave.”

One of the two older men interrupted their confrontation where they stood outside the Herb Shop. Even so, they did it so politely it was clear they did not want to be a part of the Jianghu trouble.

”Please wait, O' respectable ones! I have no matters to attend to… Please! Let's us proceed.” Wu Jiechao quickly switched gears, and his expression was suddenly welcoming as he led the two men to the herb counter.

”Well well. Welcome young master, Master Fang, Master Yang!” Niu beamed as he welcomed them. Based on the swindler's behavior, it was clear that he had managed to call in not one, but two very special individuals. Although they were not on par with Elder Luo – China's best traditional medicine practitioner – they must stand near the pinnacle too.

Naturally, making an appointment with one of them was extremely hard. So how would Wu Jiechao stand idly by and let both of them leave?

As the two men then started a conversation with Niu, Wu Jiechao quickly turned and glared at Chen Xiaobei and Yap Liangchen again.

”I'll have you know that luck is on your side. It's a truce for now!”

He then quickly went to join the two men at the counter. ”Take out the Hundred Year Ambergris that you received a few days ago,” he told Niu. ”Allow these two great masters to identify it!”

Instead of complying immediately, Niu smiled like a kid at all three of them. ”Let's put the Ambergris aside for now,” he said. ”I had just received a special Chinese Knotweed. It is said to be at least 500 years old, please have a look!”

”What? 500 years old Knotweed?! Let us see it now!” Old Fang eyes bulged as soon as he heard it.
