495 The Curtain Rises Tomorrow Nigh (1/2)
*Crack! *
The sound of bones snapping echoed across the room as Wu Tianhe broke Wu Jiechao's right arm.
*Crack! *
Before anyone else could react, Wu Tianhe had already quietly lift a leg to bring it thundering down on Wu Jiechao's right leg, breaking it too.
”Uuurgh! Aaargh! Uncle…. What are you doing?! Why- GarH! Why are you hurting me…” Wu Jiechao wailed, agony clear from his face and almost losing his voice screaming.
Blood loss was getting to him – his face was as white as a sheet of paper now, while sweat poured down from his forehead to his chin like a waterfall. Soon, the man groaned, his eyes rolled upward and he fainted from the incredible anguish!
”…” Both Master Yang and Master Fang had inhaled sharply while remaining motionless. It had been a roller coaster turn of events that was simply too much for anyone their age to keep up with.
”Holy crap…” Niu gasped, his pants now utterly drenched from terror. He was shivering on the ground like a newborn calf.
”What is going on…” Yap Liangchen was confused and shocked to his core. It seems that every time his brain was beginning to process what was around him, things always take a complete turn.
The man who was known for his protective behavior actually crippled his own nephew! No one would believe it even if the word spread all over Dragon City, much less that it all happened only because Chen Xiaobei said so.
Frankly, who would believe that a young man in his early twenties had grabbed the leash of a famous Vice Chief Inspector within the powerful Six Doors Organization? It was even more insane when one takes into account that the man would have broken every limb of his own kin if not for Chen Xiaobei's clear orders for only ”half the punishment”!
Wu Tianhe kicked Wu Jiechao's face, jolting him awake.
”Bastard! Put your head down and apologize to Mr. Chen!”
”What! You've already broke my arm and leg, and you would still have me apologize to that garbage?! Uncle, are you mad?!” Wu Jiechao cried, still not quite getting around the fact that his own uncle would cripple him.
”Enough!” Wu Tianhe bellowed with the dominating aura of a fearsome beast. ”Mr. Chen is a man who will tip the scales of the world. Offending him would only rain fire down on our own family!”
”What!?” Everyone was stunned in equal measure – except Chen Xiaobei, of course.
'Tipping the scale? Rain fire on the Wu Family?'
It was known to all that the Wu Family had strong backing from the Wu Qing Faction, and that Wu Tianhe himself stands near the top of the Six Doors Organization. Even though they were not the most prestigious of families, they were still considered to the cream of the crop of upper society.
Therefore, it was inconceivable that a young man barely in his twenties would be capable of bringing destruction upon their clan. Nobody would have accepted it unless Wu Tianhe said if himself!
”Uncle… You're kidding right? How… How could someone like him have such power?” Wu Jiechao gulped, having a hard time believing his own uncle.
The wretched young man was devastated and scared. Still, he gradually realized that he had offended someone akin to Buddha – someone he should never cross!
”Kidding?” Wu Tianhe bellowed. ”The reason I'm still alive and well is because of Mr. Chen. Without him, I would have failed my mission and lose my life! I cannot reveal anything else since they are national secrets. Learn to read between the lines!!”
The 'national secret' was obviously referring to Xiangyu.
The man whose single punch crippled Huangfu Lengshan made Wu Tianhe believe that Chen Xiaobei was a god. The fact that he had Xiangyu at his back and call was more than enough!
After the Poseidon incident, Wu Tianhe had resolved to make the Wu Family and the entire Qing Wu Faction to respect Chen Xiaobei as their grand master. From that alone, one could see why Wu Tianhe would willingly cripple his nephew without remorse.
