Chapter 539: My Big Brother Can Annihilate You With One Finger

Chapter 539: Chapter 539: My Big Brother Can Annihilate You With One Finger

This scene scared Wei Tian, Pei Yuanbin, and Liu Ruyan witless!

This kid had broken President Zheng’s finger!

He’d even severed President Zheng’s tendons!

Prince Duan would surely unleash his thunderous fury!

And they could get caught in the crossfire!

Not wanting to get caught up in a disaster she had no part in, Liu Ruyan quietly tugged on Pei Yuanbin’s sleeve and shot him a meaningful look.

Pei Yuanbin instantly grasped her meaning. The two of them began to back away quietly, needing to leave this hornet’s nest as soon as possible!

Pei Yuanbin and Liu Ruyan could leave, but Wei Tian could not!

After all, Celestial Paradise was his establishment; there was no way he could wash his hands of this!

Mustering his courage, Wei Tian rushed forward to shield Zheng Longxiang. "Sir," he said, his voice trembling, "you must be an Overseas Chinese. You might not be aware of the power President Zheng has behind him! Please, stay calm! Don’t do something you can’t take back!"

Cheng Yuan snorted in contempt. "I don’t know the power behind him? Heh... Do you know the power behind *me*? President Zheng, is it? Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Go on, call your backup! I’m eager to see this ’power’ you have behind you!"

Zheng Longxiang was ecstatic. ’This kid is so arrogant! He’s actually daring me to call for backup?’

’This kid is a dead man!’

"Are you serious? You’re really daring me to call for backup?"

Cheng Yuan glanced at his watch and said coolly, "I’ll give you fifteen minutes. If you can’t get anyone here by then, I’ll cripple all five of your limbs!"

Afraid Cheng Yuan would go back on his word, Zheng Longxiang hurriedly used his right hand—the one with the broken finger—to shakily pull out his phone. With great difficulty, he dialed his father’s number.

RING... RING...

The call connected quickly, and Prince Duan’s stern, authoritative voice came through. "Longxiang, I’m very busy. If this isn’t important, report back to me in two hours."

"Your son’s life is at stake! Father, I beg you, save me!"

"What’s wrong? Where are you?"

"I’m in the Celestial Hall at Celestial Paradise, negotiating an agency deal with the president of the Pei Group. Some kid appeared out of nowhere and attacked me without any reason, even severing the tendons in my hand."

"Isn’t Xu Hai with you?"

"Protector Xu was defeated by that punk! I suspect he’s at the Martial Emperor Early Stage of cultivation!"

"Your older brother is in Gui City. I’ll have him go save you."

"Thank you, Father."

His words were respectful, but a cold, sinister glint appeared in Zheng Longxiang’s eyes.

It was because of Duan Lang’s mother’s interference that his name could not be entered into the Dali Duan Dynasty’s official genealogy.

Furthermore, despite being older than Duan Lang, he was forced to call him "older brother!"

If he had the chance, Zheng Longxiang would kill Duan Lang and take his place in a heartbeat.

After hanging up, Zheng Longxiang felt his confidence surge back. He stared coldly at Cheng Yuan. "My older brother is on his way! You’re a dead man, punk!"

Cheng Yuan, of course, had no intention of tolerating Zheng Longxiang’s attitude. With a flick of his wrist, a Silver Needle appeared in his hand as if by magic.

SWISH!

Cheng Yuan flicked the Silver Needle, and it instantly struck Zheng Longxiang’s lower abdomen.

Zheng Longxiang felt his body grow stiff and numb.

Especially Xiaolong.

It was as if it had lost all feeling, becoming completely unresponsive.

Zheng Longxiang’s face drained of color. "Punk, what did you do to me?"

"Nothing much, just turned you into a eunuch. If you run that mouth of yours again, I’ll make you a mute, too."

’Turned into a eunuch??’

Zheng Longxiang was frantic. That was his one and only passion in life! If he became a eunuch, how would he ever have fun with women again?

This time, Zheng Longxiang was truly terrified.

Zheng Longxiang clamped his mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.

He was absolutely certain that Cheng Yuan would actually dare to make him a mute.

...

White · Palace.

Penthouse.

Duan Lang was gleefully fiddling with the Ring in his hands. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

At his side, Zhou Shilong watched Duan Lang with unconcealed envy. "Crown Prince, it seems Third Uncle holds you in high regard, to bestow such a valuable treasure upon you!"

Duan Lang grinned. "Shilong, don’t be jealous. Handle your duties well, and maybe Third Uncle will bestow a Protective Magical Artifact on you, too."

"Thank you for your guidance, Crown Prince."

Just then, Duan Lang’s phone rang.

Seeing it was a call from Duan Yanming, Duan Lang quickly made a hushing gesture, then answered with the utmost respect.

"Father, what can I do for you?"

"Longxiang had his tendons severed at Celestial Paradise. Get over there and save him immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

Duan Lang hung up the phone, a disdainful expression spreading across his face. He had always looked down on Zheng Longxiang; if Duan Yanming hadn’t personally called, he couldn’t have been bothered to go save him.

But since his father had given a direct order, he had no choice but to obey.

"Shilong, get the car. We’re going to Celestial Paradise."

’Celestial Paradise?’

Zhou Shilong asked in confusion, "Young Master, did something happen at Celestial Paradise?"

"That waste of space, Zheng Longxiang, has been taken out!"

Zhou Shilong’s expression turned strange. "Young Master, there is something I must report."

"Go on."

"Third Uncle just went to Celestial Paradise as well!"

Huh?

Duan Lang’s expression also turned strange. "Don’t tell me that waste of space Zheng Longxiang managed to offend Third Uncle?"

"Should we report this to the Prince?"

Duan Lang snorted. "No need to tell my father just yet. That waste of space, Zheng Longxiang, does nothing but throw his weight around all day. He’s long overdue for a lesson! I hope Third Uncle doesn’t hold back. Come on, let’s go watch the show."

"Yes, sir."

Duan Lang and Zhou Shilong timed their arrival perfectly, pulling up to the Celestial Paradise Nightclub.

Led by a staff member, the two headed straight for the Celestial Hall.

...

For Zheng Longxiang, these fifteen minutes were without a doubt the longest fifteen minutes of his entire life.

Fortunately, he had finally endured it.

CLICK, CLACK.

Two sets of footsteps approached the door.

Zheng Longxiang whipped his head around and saw two familiar faces.

Before this moment, the mere sight of Duan Lang’s face had filled him with loathing, as it was a reminder of countless humiliations.

But right now, Duan Lang was the most welcome sight in the world.

Like a bullied child who suddenly sees his parents, Zheng Longxiang rushed over to Duan Lang and burst into tears with a loud WAIL!

"Brother! Older Brother! You’re finally here! You have to help me cripple this punk! I’m going to slice him into a million pieces, inch by inch!"

Wei Tian scurried forward with a fawning expression. "Crown Prince! Brother Long! You’ve finally come! I tried my best, but all I could do was keep President Zheng alive! He’s in a terrible state! His finger was broken, his tendons were severed! Please, you must get justice for him!"

"Get justice? Not a problem."

The corners of Duan Lang’s mouth curled up into a strange, unsettling arc.

Duan Lang slung an arm around Zheng Longxiang’s shoulders, steering him as he strode toward Cheng Yuan.

With his older brother backing him up, Zheng Longxiang’s confidence exploded.

"Punk, my older brother and Zhou Shilong are Emperor Level masters! My brother can even fight above his rank and defeat an expert at the Emperor Level Peak! If you don’t want to die, get on your knees and beg! Otherwise, my brother can annihilate you with a single finger!"
