“Xingchen was forced to kneel there?” Hearing this, the fat man’s face flashed a sinister look.
If he had only been beaten up by someone, it would have been because his skills were inferior, but being forced to kneel was a complete humiliation. No matter what, Zhao Xingchen was still Scarlet Star’s Small Commander and also his subordinate. If he was treated like this, wouldn’t it be like slapping his face? As the Scarlet Star’s Fifth Manager, how could he tolerate this?
Seeing this, the woman quickly explained what she had heard.
The fat man coldly snorted, “You stay here, I’ll go see who’s so bold!”
Finished speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back while the woman in the back shouted, “Old Master, you must bring Xingchen back. If anything happens to him, I won’t be able to live.”
“I know, i know,” The fat man waved his hand impatiently.
After gathering his men, the fat man left the mansion and headed straight for the inn.
In less than an incense stick’s worth of time, they arrived.
Arriving at the door, he looked inside and saw his brother-in-law, Zhao Xingchen, with a blue face and a swollen nose. Sure enough, he was kneeling on the ground, with three men and a woman standing nearby, as well as a young man and a woman sitting on a chair, calmly pouring wine and drinking.
Seeing the woman sitting down, the fat man couldn’t help frowning.
Yue He had been to this Star City many times before, and as a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, she naturally wasn’t an unknown person. Even though the upper echelons of Scarlet Star had never interacted with her before, they all knew her.
If this was the outside world, the fat man wouldn’t dare provoke a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. After all, he was only a Fourth Order cultivator. Although they were only one level apart, their true combat strength was worlds apart.
However, this was the Great Ruins Boundary, after all. The mist of the Great Ruins Boundary suppressed and sealed the small universe, so no matter what grade of Open Heaven it was, its strength would be greatly reduced in this special environment.
When the fat man walked in, the entire inn shook as he walked.
Yang Kai turned his head and saw a round meatball slowly walking towards the door. With every step it took, the floor would tremble and he couldn’t help narrowing his eyes.
In his entire life, Yang Kai had never seen such a fat man. This man’s height and width were almost the same, and at first glance, he was like a rolling meatball, his facial features blurred by the fat on his face.
Who was this guy? Yang Kai was surprised.
Yue He knew that he had been cultivating in seclusion all this time and knew nothing about the situation outside, so she immediately whispered, “This is Scarlet Star’s Fifth Manager, Chen Tianfei. He seems to have cultivated some kind of special technique and everyone calls him Chen Tianfatty!”
Kneeling on the ground, Zhao Xingchen also saw Chen Tian Fei and was overjoyed, shouting, “Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, save me!”
As he spoke, he struggled to get up.
“Did I tell you to get up?” Yang Kai coldly snorted and flicked his finger, sending out a burst of energy. Zhao Xingchen let out a blood-curdling scream as he fell to his knees again, blood flowing from his thigh, unable to get up.
Chen Tian Fei’s steps didn’t stop, the fat on his face trembling slightly as a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Soon, Chen Tian Fei arrived in front of the table and stood there like a mountain of flesh, blocking out all light and giving off a silent pressure.
This was the first time Meng Hong and the others had seen such a character, so they were quite surprised and also secretly worried about Yang Kai.
“Brother-in-law…” Zhao Xingchen looked up pitifully, his face filled with a look of pleading and humiliation.
“Trash!” Chen Tian Fei coldly snorted and waved his hand, taking out a chair from his Space Ring and placing it behind him before sitting down.
His chair was obviously custom-made and was extremely wide and sturdy, otherwise, ordinary chairs wouldn’t be able to withstand his size.
After taking a seat, Chen Tianfei leaned back in his chair and squinted at Yue He, “Miss Yue He, long time no see.”
“Manager Chen,” Yue He smiled.
Chen Tianfang said, “Isn’t Miss Yue He going a bit too far this time? Killing someone is just a simple matter. But if my family’s little brother-in-law really did something wrong, beating him up and scolding him is one thing, but if you don't want to kill him, making him kneel here is not good, right?”
Yue He blinked her big eyes, pursed her lips, and smiled, “Manager Chen, you’ve found the wrong person. This matter has nothing to do with me, it was my family’s Young Master’s doing. If you want to talk about it, you may as well talk to my Young Master.”
“Young Master?” Chen Tianfei was stunned before turning to look at Yang Kai.
When he saw Yue He here, his first impression was that Yue He was in charge of this place, but who knew that a Young Master would suddenly appear.
At a glance, this young man didn’t seem to be special at all. He really didn’t know what kind of ability he had to make a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage call him Young Master.
Pondering for a moment, Chen Tianfei asked, “How should I address Little Brother?”
Yang Kai grinned and introduced himself, “Yang Kai!”
Chen Tianfei nodded slightly, “So you’re that Yang Kai!”
Previously, his mistress had been making a lot of noise, saying that Yang Kai had fought with his brother-in-law, but now he knew that the attacker was right in front of him.
“Little Brother Yang, is there something you want to say to this king?” Chen Tian Fei asked.
Yang Kai glanced at him and raised his brow, “What do you mean?”
The fat on Chen Tianfei's face twitched as if he was smiling, “You injured someone but didn’t run away and instead chose to sit here and wait for this king. Is there something you want to tell this king?” His tone became cold as he continued, “Or is it that Little Brother doesn’t put my Scarlet Star in his eyes and thinks you can freely enter and exit the Star City? If that’s what you think, I’m afraid you’ve miscalculated.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and said, “Manager Chen is a straightforward person, so I won’t be lenient.” His expression became solemn as he continued, “I want to join the Scarlet Star!”
Hearing this, Yue He turned her head to look at him. Yang Kai had never told her about this matter, even Meng Hong and the others were surprised.
Chen Tianfei chuckled when he heard this, “Join Scarlet Star? You’ve hurt my Scarlet Star’s people and haven’t given me a satisfactory explanation, yet now you want to join Scarlet Star? In Little Brother’s eyes, what is Scarlet Star?”
“If Manager Chen wants an explanation, I’ll give you one!” Yang Kai said as he raised his hand and gently pressed it towards Chen Tianfei.
Chen Tianfei's expression became serious as he also raised a meaty palm to meet it.
The two palms collided silently, as if it was just a light touch.
Yang Kai withdrew his hand and picked up the wine cup on the table to play with.
On the other hand, Chen Tianfei's fat body suddenly trembled, and the fat on his body rippled as the chair under his butt shattered into pieces.
Looking around, Chen Tianfei's face had become extremely red, as if he had been cooked, and steam was rising from his head.
Enraged, Chen Tianfei stamped his feet on the ground, causing the floor of the inn to collapse. At the same time, a surge of hot energy flowed out from Chen Tianfei's pores, releasing a large amount of sweat.
In an instant, it was as if Chen Tianfei's entire body had been pulled out of the water, his entire body soaked in sweat. Not only that, his fat, round body seemed to shrink and his clothes became loose.
Staring at Yang Kai in horror, the fat on Chen Tianfei's face began to twitch.
“Does Manager Chen think this explanation is enough?” Yang Kai asked without raising his head.
Chen Tianfei stared deeply at Yang Kai before turning his head to look at Zhao Xingchen, who was still kneeling on the ground. Under his desperate gaze, he nodded and said, “Enough.”
“Brother-in-law!” Zhao Xingchen’s face instantly became ashen. Originally, he had hoped that his brother-in-law would come over and help him take revenge, but who would have thought that the situation would develop in such a manner. How could he possibly take revenge after this? Today’s humiliation would probably be impossible to wash away.
“Shut up!” Chen Tianfei coldly snorted before raising his hand and taking out a chair from his Space Ring and placing it under his butt. Looking at Yue He, he said, “Lady Yue He, your Young Master’s future is limitless!”
Yue He smiled proudly, “Do i need you to say this to me?”
Chen Tianfei turned to look at Yang Kai, “Did Little Brother Yang stay here to wait for me because he wanted to join Scarlet Star?”
“Yes!”
Chen Tianfei asked, “Can I ask why? With Little Brother Yang’s ability, he must have made great achievements in the Great Ruins Boundary, so why did he choose my Scarlet Star?”
Yang Kai grinned and said, “It’s just a coincidence, there’s nothing special about it. As for why I want to join, I want to find something. Scarlet Star has many people, so it’s easier to find something.” Now that he had condensed three types of Wood, Fire, and Earth Element forces and had found them in the Great Ruins Boundary, he naturally wanted to find more strength. Scarlet Star had many people and was well-informed.
“Is that all?” Chen Tianfei was still in disbelief.
“That’s all!”
Chen Tianfei looked at him seriously for a long time before nodding, “I understand Little Brother Yang’s meaning. Scarlet Star also welcomes talents like you, so this king will make the decision to take you into Scarlet Star. As for your position, how about becoming a Small Commander just like Xingchen?”
Zhao Xingchen was dumbfounded.
This man who had beaten him up and forced him to kneel had not only been recruited into the Scarlet Star by his brother-in-law, but had also been given the position of Small Commander to stand on equal footing with him?
How was he supposed to take revenge?
“Small Commander?” Yang Kai looked at Chen Tianfei with a faint smile.
Chen Tianfei said, “You’re not satisfied? Although Little Brother Yang’s strength is extraordinary, he has only just joined Scarlet Star and hasn’t made any contributions yet. A Small Commander position is already the limit of this king’s promotion, it’s impossible for him to become a Great Commander.” Changing the subject, he continued, “If Lady Yue He is willing to join Scarlet Star, the position of Great Commander will be up for grabs!”
Yue He chuckled but did not comment.
Among the several Manager of Scarlet Star, the strongest was on par with her, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. She was also a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so how could she possibly assume the position of a Great Commander and listen to orders?
“There’s no need for Small Commander, I don’t care about Great Commander either.”
Chen Tianfei was stunned, “What does Little Brother Yang mean?”
Yang Kai looked at him with a burning gaze, “I want to be one of the Manager of the Scarlet Star!”
His words shocked everyone present! Even Yue He stared at him blankly, wondering if she had heard him wrong.
