Return of the Celestial King
Chapter 450: Changing Seats
Hearing Qin Tuo’s tone, Zhao Jun instantly saw red.
But he forced down his anger, gritting his teeth as he said:
"Look, how about this? I’ll pay double to cover the price difference. You’ll make a nice profit. What do you say?"
Qin Tuo couldn’t even be bothered to deal with the guy and simply turned his head away.
Zhao Jun was beside himself with rage. He couldn’t believe Qin Tuo would actually dare to ignore him.
"You damn brat! You’re utterly shameless!"
Zhao Jun dropped all pretense. He rolled up his sleeves then and there, ready to attack Qin Tuo.
But Qin Tuo still paid him no mind, acting as if he were just air.
With a savage grin, Zhao Jun swung his fist straight at Qin Tuo’s head.
However, Qin Tuo shifted slightly. His movement was incredibly fluid and natural, but it was just enough to dodge Zhao Jun’s fist.
THUD!
Zhao Jun hadn’t even managed to touch the corner of Qin Tuo’s clothes, yet he’d made himself stumble, looking utterly pathetic.
Just then, his girlfriend walked over, dragging a suitcase behind her.
Seeing this, her brow furrowed, and she immediately started cursing at Qin Tuo.
"What’s wrong with you? My boyfriend was trying to talk to you nicely. What’s with this attitude?"
Qin Tuo shot the woman a cold glance, the corners of his mouth curling into a mocking smile, before he went back to his nap.
As if deeply stung by his gaze, Zhao Jun’s girlfriend planted her hands on her hips and launched into a tirade like a common shrew.
Of course, Qin Tuo remained completely unfazed. He was just a little curious. ’Can just anyone get into first class these days?’
Just as Zhao Jun and his girlfriend prepared to harass Qin Tuo further, a flight attendant hurried over.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun had no choice but to back down. He shot Qin Tuo a venomous glare, then turned to his girlfriend and said comfortingly:
"Don’t worry, honey. Once we get off the plane in Ming City, I’ll make him pay!"
The woman nodded, her face filled with adoration for Zhao Jun.
A wicked smile crept across Zhao Jun’s face as he said smugly:
"When we land, I’ll have my Uncle Long teach this guy a brutal lesson!"
He obviously meant for Qin Tuo to hear this, but even after listening, Qin Tuo showed no reaction whatsoever.
Zhao Jun shot Qin Tuo a hateful glare, then had no choice but to send his girlfriend to her seat in economy.
Throughout the flight, Zhao Jun kept glancing over at Qin Tuo.
But Qin Tuo just kept leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed, completely unconcerned by Zhao Jun’s threats.
This only strengthened Zhao Jun’s resolve. ’After we land,’ he thought, ’I’m definitely going to teach Qin Tuo an unforgettable lesson!’
Before long, they had arrived in Ming City.
After disembarking, Zhao Jun and his girlfriend hurried through the arrival corridor.
"Don’t worry, honey. I’ll call someone to take care of that guy in a minute!"
Zhao Jun said confidently, his arm around his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, outside the arrivals hall, Long Wu, dressed in a Tang suit and accompanied by several bodyguards, was waiting to pick someone up.
He kept glancing at his watch before looking up toward the exit.
The moment Zhao Jun and his girlfriend stepped out of the corridor, they spotted Long Wu waiting there.
Zhao Jun’s face immediately lit up with excitement, and he yelled:
"Uncle Long..."
He shouted the name several times. Long Wu noticed him but looked confused, as he didn’t recognize the young man.
Zhao Jun scurried over, his face beaming with excitement as he introduced himself:
"Uncle Long, have you forgotten? It’s me! My dad and you were good friends back in the day!"
When Zhao Jun mentioned his father, Long Wu finally remembered.
It turned out Zhao Jun’s father had been one of Long Wu’s underlings in the past. Now, the Zhao Family’s business was booming, and they were considered one of the more famous wealthy families in the Southwest.
Zhao Jun was just about to ask Long Wu who he was there to pick up, but his girlfriend quickly cut him off, pointing toward the arrival gate.
"Honey, look! That guy’s coming out now!"
Sure enough, Qin Tuo was strolling out of the gate at a leisurely pace, not looking the least bit hurried.
Zhao Jun was overjoyed. The moment Qin Tuo was in front of him, he strode forward to intercept him.
Puffing out his chest, Zhao Jun announced menacingly:
"Kid, you’re dead meat today!"
Qin Tuo glanced past Zhao Jun at the utterly baffled Long Wu standing behind him and asked with a hint of amusement:
"Oh, really? And how exactly do you plan on killing me?"
At that moment, Long Wu still hadn’t grasped the situation. His mind was in a state of utter chaos.
’The son of one of my old subordinates dares to speak to Mr. Qin like that? What the hell is going on?’
Zhao Jun sneered and said:
"You don’t recognize who’s standing behind me? Let me tell you, this is the renowned Master Long of the underworld!"
Qin Tuo put on a look of feigned shock and said:
"Oh, really? That impressive? And what does that have to do with you?"
Zhao Jun burst out laughing and said smugly:
"It has everything to do with me! He’s my Uncle Long. If I ask him to take care of you, it’ll be as easy as dealing with a stray dog!"
Qin Tuo spread his hands and said nonchalantly:
"Is that so? Then by all means, go ahead."
Then, Zhao Jun pointed a finger straight at Qin Tuo and said to Long Wu behind him:
"Uncle Long, this guy was bullying me on the plane just now. Make him disappear!"
His face was full of eager anticipation as he waited to see what would become of Qin Tuo.
His girlfriend, meanwhile, was the very picture of arrogant audacity, basking in borrowed power. She looked Qin Tuo up and down with scornful, disdainful eyes.
In their minds, as soon as Long Wu made a move, an ordinary guy like Qin Tuo was as good as dead.
Qin Tuo looked at Long Wu with a faint, teasing smile, a playful glint in his eyes.
Long Wu’s expression, however, was incredibly bizarre, as if he had just witnessed the most absurd event on Earth.
’Hmm, why isn’t Uncle Long doing anything yet?’
Zhao Jun was confused. Why wasn’t Long Wu making a move?
SLAP!
Without warning, Long Wu slapped Zhao Jun across the face, leaving him completely stunned.
Zhao Jun clutched his swollen, red face, his eyes wide with disbelief.
His girlfriend was also stunned speechless, her mouth hanging wide open.
"Uncle Long... why... why did you hit me?"
Tears welled up in Zhao Jun’s eyes.
Long Wu first shot Zhao Jun a venomous glare, then, beads of sweat forming on his brow, turned to Qin Tuo and explained:
"Mr. Qin, please, don’t misunderstand! This kid is just the son of one of my old subordinates. I don’t know him well at all!"
Zhao Jun and his girlfriend were completely dumbfounded, their minds going blank.
When Qin Tuo remained silent, Long Wu quickly asked:
"Mr. Qin, should I have them thrown in the river?"
Seeing Long Wu lower his voice to ask this, Zhao Jun and his girlfriend were so terrified they nearly wet themselves.
It was only then that they finally realized they had picked a fight with the wrong person!
Even Long Wu had to treat him with such deference and respect. Just what kind of terrifying person was he?
