Chapter 172: Who Are You?
Anger surged out of Yi Guo's head and into his fists.
His teeth gnashed together in anger.
How dare he!!
A fucking nobody dared to disrespect him like that?
The audacity and sheer nerve of someone challenging his authority ignited a fire within Yi Guo.
Every insult, every slight, and every ounce of rage fueled his determination to teach this person a lesson they would never forget.
Yi Guo didn't put Chen Tian in his eyes and only thought of him as an idiot who tried to act like a hero and interfere in his business.
To enter a lion's den on your own, one must possess immense courage and a fearless spirit.
Unknown to Yi Guo and the others, if this mansion was the lion's den, then Chen Tian's presence was like a dragon entering the lion's den.
For a dragon, the presence of someone like Yi Guo was like a mere mosquito buzzing around.
And what would a dragon do when faced with a bug daring to challenge its authority?
The dragon would simply unleash its fiery breath and reduce the bug to ashes.
Chen Tian just looked at Yi Guo with a calm and unwavering gaze, his eyes just gazing at an idiot who was about to bite the dust.
Chen Tian knew that heaven's net is wide, and no one can escape its mesh.
Criminals can't evade justice forever; the way of Heaven is fair, and the guilty will not escape.
But Chen Tian wouldn't wait for heaven to deliver justice.
He believed in taking matters into his own hands, and he was ready to punish Yi Guo for what he had done.
Chen Tian would make sure that Yi Guo regretted, and Chen Tian would make sure that Bastard died a dog's death for his heinous actions.
"Head Butler I think that kid is tired of living," Yi Guo said with a cold glint in his eyes.
"I'm so...sorry, master." The butler stammered, his voice trembling.
He made a mistake by not paying attention to his surroundings and letting Chen Tian follow them.
Everyone in the room except Chen Tian was scared of Yi Guo's anger, who had a reputation for being ruthless and cruel.
"That kid is for sure gone for." Everyone in the room thought the same, fearful of the consequences that awaited the unfortunate soul who had angered Yi Guo.
No one in this city had ever dared to cross paths with Yi Guo and live to tell the tale.
His power and influence extended far beyond the walls of this room, and his reputation as a merciless enforcer was well known.
Those who had witnessed his wrath knew that there was no escape from his vengeance.
The fearful girl just looked around the place, her innocent eyes fixed on Chen Tian's figure.
She didn't know what was happening, but she could sense the tension among everyone just by seeing their expression.
As the tension in the room thickened, a chilling silence fell upon them.
"You! Take care of this piece of shit; I want him skinned alive!" Yi Guo bellowed; he ordered one of his subordinates to take care of Chen Tian.
The subordinate nodded and moved toward Chen Tian
The man that was beside him looked at Chen Tian in a cautious manner.
He was the only Martial Artist in this room, and even if he was still in the early levels, he was stronger than everyone here.
Something was wrong!
His mind raced with thoughts; he could accept that the Head Butler and the other didn't sense Chen Tian following behind them, but he was different.
How was he not able to sense that kid inside the room?
If Chen Tian knew what that guy was thinking, he would have praised him; at least he was not stupid like the others.
The girl's heart skipped a beat as she watched one of that man's henchmen approach the helpless young man that just appeared.
Yi Guo didn't care anymore about Chen Tian's presence; he was already a dead man in his eyes.
The most important thing for him now is to enjoy his new toy.
Looking at the face of that little girl made him excited in a twisted way.
Chen Tian just looked at the approaching henchman with a calm expression, his eyes betraying no fear.
Not giving any care about him, he turned around toward the woman who had just been beaten by Yi Guo and crouched in front of her.
Her small frame trembled with fear, with tears and blood streaming down her face.
Chen Tian's heart clenched with anger.
"Hm?" The woman looked up at him, her eyes filled with both pain and hope.
A warm smile spread across Chen Tian's face as his hand touched the woman's face gently.
A warm energy entered the wounds on her face, soothing the pain and healing her injuries.
The woman's eyes widened in awe as she felt the warmth of his touch.
The pain she was feeling began to melt away, replaced by a sense of comfort and relief.
She couldn't believe what was happening.
"So what's the price for this one?" Yi Guo, not looking in Chen Tian's direction any longer, asked, his voice filled with coldness.
Everyone had their eyes on Yi Guo, not looking in Chen Tian's direction anymore, as they knew the fate of the boy.
Because of that, no one saw how the woman's face was healed, except for one little girl, whose eyes were filled with wonder and awe.
The little girl watched in amazement as the woman's wounds closed up, and her complexion became radiant again.
It was clear that something extraordinary had just occurred, and the little girl couldn't tear her gaze away from the scene unfolding before her.
"Magic!!" The little girl's eyes lit up with excitement as she thought of what she had just witnessed.
"Mr. Yi, the girl that I just got you is one of a kind, so her price is a bit pricey," the man in the suit exclaimed.
"No matter the price, I must have her," Mr. Yi replied without hesitation, his ruthless eyes fixed on the man in suit.
"Haha, of course if Mr. Yi wants it, he gets it," the man in the suit said, his voice filled with happiness.
Today he will return with a big profit.
As they were discussing the price, the subordinate approached Chen Tian; he was prepared to take him away and torture him.
Chen Tian, who had just finished healing the woman, sensed the man's presence behind him.
His hands were one inch away from touching Chen Tian shoulder.
"No stop!!"
The man beside Yi Guo suddenly shouted, taking Yi Guo and the man in the suit by surprise.
Yi Guo turned to look at the man, confusion evident on his face.
Before Yi Guo could ask what was wrong, the man beside him quickly pulled his arm and dragged him out of the way.
"What are..."
A split second later, a body came crashing down on the place where Yi Guo was lying just moments ago.
|BAM|
The impact destroyed the couch and sent debris flying in all directions.
Lucky for the women that were in the room, because of the accident that happened, all of them moved away from the couch, so no one was injured by the falling debris.
The man who had saved Yi Guo quickly checked on him to make sure he was unharmed.
Yi Guo and the man in the suit stared in shock at the scene before them, leaving them both speechless.
The man who had just saved Yi Guo's life also had a sinking expression on his face.
The room fell into a tense silence as they assessed the situation.
The subordinate that he had sent to capture Chen Tian was now in the place where the broken couch had been, with blood staining his clothes and a look of defeat on his face.
A hole was in his stomach, and it was clear that he had been fatally wounded.
The Martial Artist looked at the figure; it was clear that the man was dead.
He immediately looked at the direction from which the attack had come.
Not only did he glance, but everyone also looked.
Chen Tian was still crouching in front of the woman; his back was in their direction.
"Are you feeling well?" Chen Tian asked the woman who was injured.
"...Y-Yes!" The woman, out of shock, replied weakly,
"Good." Chen Tian nodded and got up from his crouching position.
Then he looked at all the people gathered around, his expression filled with indifference.
"Now, do you want to talk?" Chen Tian asked, his voice calm but commanding.
Yi Guo's face turned bitter as he stepped forward.
If that body had landed on him, he would have been seriously injured or worse.
"Y-You!" Yi Guo stammered, his voice filled with anger. "Did you know what you just did?"
Chen Tian maintained his calm composure as he met Yi Guo's angry gaze. "Yes, I knew exactly what I was doing; I was getting rid of a bug," he replied confidently.
"Bastard..."
Yi Guo wanted to lash out at Chen Tian to give him a piece of his mind. But he was stopped by the Martial Artist beside him.
"Master, this guy isn't normal... I think he's also a Martial artist." The guy wished for Yi Guo,
Yi Guo's eyes widen with realization. He turned to look at Chen Tian again, his anger momentarily replaced by caution.
"Who are you?"
He finally asked the stranger standing before him. Chen Tian smirked,
"What arrogance! When I first appeared, he didn't even bother to ask for my identity and ordered his subordinate to kill me," Chen Tian thought to himself.
"You will know soon enough," Chen Tian responded, his voice filled with ridicule.
