Chapter 482: You Have to Call Me Uncle

Lin Bao was speechless. 'Why is this Cheng guy so damn stubborn! And Lanxin too! Why is she going crazy along with him!'

Lin Bao gave a bitter laugh. "Fine! If you're not afraid to die, then neither am I, Lin Bao! Let's all die together!!"

With that, Lin Bao turned to his underlings and shouted, "Brother Long will be here soon! I'm giving you all a chance to leave!"

The security guards roared in unison!

"We pledge to follow Brother Leopard to the death!"

"Anyone who chickens out is a bastard!"

Lin Bao nodded forcefully and said in a low voice, "Grab your weapons! Prepare for a fight!"

The security guards howled as they grabbed all sorts of weapons.

The bar's patrons realized things were getting out of hand and didn't dare to stay, quickly making their exits.

In the blink of an eye, Lanxin Bar was completely empty.

Chang Lanxin frowned at Lin Bao and said coldly, "Lin Bao, you chose Lin Shaofeng just now, so why the phony act? Do you really dare to face Brother Long?"

Lin Bao gave a bitter smile. "Lanxin, what can I say to make you believe me? I didn't want to face Brother Long, which is why I tried to bluff Lin Shaofeng into leaving! But Mr. Cheng is too strong; he didn't give me a chance to fool Lin Shaofeng, so I could only play dead and avoid a direct conflict with him. Sigh, in the end, I still couldn't escape my fate!"

Cheng Yuan looked at Lin Bao nonchalantly. "You should be glad about your choice. If you hadn't pulled your punch just now, you'd be a dead man."

Lin Bao rolled his eyes, clearly not believing that Cheng Yuan could defeat him.

Chang Lanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. 'So Brother Leopard was on my side all along, just pretending to play nice with Lin Shaofeng?'

"Brother Leopard, I misjudged you."

"Lanxin, I see you as family. How could I ever hurt you? But today, I'm afraid I can't protect you. Are you sure you won't leave?"

Chang Lanxin's tone was resolute. "If Cheng Yuan doesn't leave, I'm not leaving!"

"Sigh..."

A long wait began at Lanxin Bar.

When the conflict had just broken out, many people recorded videos and posted them to their Moments and on Douyin.

The incident at Lanxin Bar quickly went viral, and many people came across the video.

Duan Yingying was visiting Gui City. After seeing the video, she grew excited and pulled out her phone to call Cheng Yuan.

Duan Yingying's tone was a mix of reproach and playful complaint.

"Brother Yuan, you're in Gui City! Why didn't you contact me?"

A faint smile touched Cheng Yuan's lips. "Yingying, I'm Prince Duan's sworn brother. You should be calling me 'uncle'."

"Aiya! You're so annoying! We agreed to use our own terms! Don't try to take advantage of me! I'm just going to call you brother!"

"Alright, we'll use our own terms. I came here on invitation to have a match with the Han Medical Needle Saint. I'll be leaving right after, so I didn't want to bother Second Brother."

"Hmph! Brother Yuan doesn't care about Yingying at all! You didn't even think to give me a follow-up consultation!"

"Well... alright then. I'll give you a follow-up after I'm done tomorrow."

"Why wait for tomorrow? You're still at Lanxin Bar, right? I'm coming over right now."

"Maybe not tonight. I ran into a bit of trouble. Your Lord of the City will be coming to Lanxin Bar soon to get even for his son."

'The Lord of the City?'

Duan Yingying paused for a moment. "In Qian Province, someone actually dares to call himself a 'Lord' in front of our Duan Family?"

"I'm not too clear on the details. The kid claimed his dad is Zhou Shilong, the Lord of the City."

'Zhou Shilong?'

Duan Yingying rolled her eyes in annoyance. "And here I was wondering who it could be! So it's just Little Dragon? I'll head over and knock some sense into that thick skull of his!"

With that, Duan Yingying hung up the phone.

Cheng Yuan shook his head with a wry smile. 'So he's connected to us?'

'Talk about a flood washing over the Dragon King Temple!'

Still, Cheng Yuan didn't regret teaching Lin Shaofeng a lesson. The kid was far too arrogant and domineering; sooner or later, he would have caused trouble for Second Brother.

...

「In Gui City Center, on the shores of Gui Lake, stood a magnificent palace.」

The entire palace was a milky white, built with incredible luxury.

It was designed by the famous English architect James Hoban, based on the style of an 18th-century English country villa.

The total construction cost was 2.7 billion!

It was known as Gui City's White Palace.

In the night, the lights of the White Palace shimmered brilliantly, their reflection in the lake a breathtaking sight, like something out of the Celestial Palace.

At the entrance to the White Palace, fully armed security guards patrolled. Ordinary people were absolutely forbidden from entering.

Most people speculated that the White Palace was some kind of secret government facility; very few knew it was a private residence.

Lin Shaofeng's Bentley slowly drove up.

Seeing the license plate number, the guards at the gate quickly let it pass.

The Bentley drove directly into the White Palace's grounds.

His underlings helped a dead-drunk and filthy Lin Shaofeng out of the car.

A nearby housekeeper's expression darkened. "What happened? What's wrong with the Young Master?"

"Housekeeper Ni! You have to stand up for us!..."

The underlings all started talking at once, lodging their complaints.

Housekeeper Ni's face was as dark as ink. 'The Young Master announced his family name and was still forced to kneel and apologize? And forced to drink a whole bottle of vodka?'

'Dammit!!'

"You all wait here. The Master will ascertain the truth!"

With that, Housekeeper Ni personally supported Lin Shaofeng and headed straight for the deepest part of the White Palace.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Housekeeper Ni knocked gently on the door of an incredibly luxurious room.

A steady voice came from within the room. "Enter."

Housekeeper Ni supported Lin Shaofeng and strode into the room.

The room was vast, like a training hall. A middle-aged man in a training uniform was meditating.

This middle-aged man was Zhou Shilong, known as the Lord of the City. In Gui City, he was a figure whose name alone could stop a child from crying.

When Zhou Shilong saw Lin Shaofeng's pathetic state, his expression changed instantly. He rushed forward, placed a hand on Lin Shaofeng's wrist to check his pulse, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming his life wasn't in danger.

"Ni Hong, what happened?"

"Master, the Young Master was just humiliated at Lanxin Bar. This is a video secretly recorded by one of the men! Please take a look!"

Zhou Shilong waved his hand dismissively. "No need to watch the video. It doesn't matter what the reason was. Humiliating my son is the same as humiliating me, Zhou Shilong! Just bring the person here directly!"

"Master, I'm afraid you'll have to go 'invite' him yourself! Lin Bao made a move, but he was easily defeated!"

Zhou Shilong's pupils contracted slightly. "Although Lin Bao has only just broken through to the Martial King realm, anyone who can defeat him so easily is no ordinary person. Give me the video."

After watching the video carefully, Zhou Shilong relaxed.

"That kid Lin Bao was holding back! I remember now, Lanxin Bar is his territory, and that Chang Lanxin is his childhood friend."

Ni Hong said angrily, "Master, you think so highly of Lin Bao, yet he deliberately held back and allowed the Young Master to be humiliated! He cannot be forgiven!"

Zhou Shilong snorted coldly. "Little Leopard will have to give me a good explanation! As for the person who forced Shaofeng to kneel and poured liquor down his throat, I'll make him regret being born into this world! Ni Hong, gather all our men immediately! We're heading to Lanxin Bar now!"

"Yes, Master!"
