1668 Man in a Red Robe (1/2)

Chen Xiaobei had always been loyal to his friends and family. Those that threatened to hurt them would be hunted down by him indefinitely.

Although Chen XIaobei had only known Bro Huo for less than half a day, he already saw him as a friend.

Chen Xiaobei couldn't just let slide the fact that Fu Zhiyun had beaten Bro Huo up so badly.

Of course, Fu Zhiyun was no fool either. Since he had come to Saint Duke Imperial City to challenge Chen Xiaobei, he was was prepared.

”How do I want to die?” Fu Zhiyun sneered. ”This is Saint Duke Imperial City! You are just a low-life from some low-ranking starfield! Do you think you can kill me? How presumptuous of you!”

The twenty other people surrounding them laughed along with Fu Zhiyun; their eyes digging hungrily into Chen Xiaobei as if he was lunch.

”Go ahead and bring out your backup! You bunch of rotten eggs can't touch me anyway!” Chen Xiaobei could read him like a book.

Back on Boulder Planet, Fu Zhiyun was so afraid of Chen Xaiobei that he ran away with his tails tucked between his legs.

Fu Zhiyun would not have dared to appear before Chen Xiaobei without someone powerful to back him up.

”Hehe! You guessed correctly! My backup will be here soon!” Fu Zhiyun laughed. ”Don't say I didn't give you a chance. All you have to do is admit like a god boy that I am the one who caught the stag, and that you are just a little thief who stole my pass to the Battle For the Bride competition. Then, perhaps, I'll let both of you live! Or else, both of you will have to die!”

”Based on my understanding, Saint Duke Imperial has laws! How are you going to get away with killing the both of us?” Chen Xiaobei said icily.

”Hehe, the law can't touch me!” Fu Zhiyun snorted. ”If you just cooperate and admit, everyone will be happy! If you refuse to cooperate, not only will I kill both of you, but I will also get my hands on Saint Duke's government office's records! On it, will be a statement of your confession and your fingerprints!”

”So, your backup is from the government office?!” Chen Xiaobei was starting to fret a little.

”Doctors… No... Commoners don't struggle against government officials! Just do as he says…” Bro Huo said nervously. ”The government office is where the officers of Saint Duke work. If a fight breaks out, the government will see you as the enemy! You really do not want that!”

Chen Xiaobei's frowned deepened.

Although he did not like Bro Huo's timidness, he had to admit that what Bro Huo said made perfect sense.

Chen Xiaobei could go head to head against Fu Zhiyun's backup but he could not afford to do that with the government!

If a fight were to break out, Chen Xiaobei was definitely going to be the losing party. He might even lose the chance to continue in the Battle for the Bride competition!

”So, are you scared now?” Fu Zhiyun's smile was gorwing smug by the minute. ”You have 2 minutes to live. Once my backup gets here, it'll be your funeral!”

Chen Xiaobei grew silent, trying to figure out a way to solve his situation.

”Miracle Doctor… Just promise him… If you wait any longer, we're both dead…” Bro Huo urged.

Some distance away from the street corner, a man about eight feet tall in a red robe looked over at them.

”Prince, what are you looking at?” A guard in black uniform asked.

”The man in red robe narrowed his eyes. ”I think I heard the words, Miracle Doctor'!”

”Miracle Doctor?” The guard furrowed his brows. ”It's just a bunch of hooligans yakking away. What Miracle Doctor could there be?”

”That young man. I saw him earlier! The man in the red robe said. ”I saw him at the Imperial Palace!”

”There is no such person in our database! He must be one of those people that had been asked to fill in the pool of elimination rounds! I don't think he will affect the competition!”

”Let's take a look! I think that there's more to this kid!”
