Ruo Feng's face twisted with fury the moment he stepped fully into the plaza. His eyes studied the scene and fell on the rows of elite Dao protectors standing protectively around Lin Yuan and the two beauties.
"Who has the nerves to use the name of the Martial God Hall in vain?!"
He roared and pointed aggressively at the black-suited experts blocking his view.
"Step forward and accept your death! I will make an example of anyone who dares forge the imperial seal!"
Not wanting to be outshined, Old Wang Hai quickly grew furious as well. He could see the sparkle in Jia Wen's eyes whenever Ruo Feng acted domineering, and jealousy burned in his chest. The middle-aged tycoon puffed out his protruding belly and shouted even louder.
"Exactly! Whoever touched my sweetheart will have their entire life ruined! I will bankrupt their families, destroy their businesses, and make sure they beg on the streets for the rest of their miserable days!"
The more Jia Wen hugged his arm and looked at him with admiration, the more violently Wang Hai screamed.
He pointed directly at Lin Yuan.
"Was it you, you worthless bastard?! The premium seal of Grand Riverside Mall can only be used by the top shareholders of this institution, and I am one of the highest-ranked among them! How dare a slum rat like you forge it?!"
Lin Yuan remained completely silent.
'I really want to smack this guy…'
He only chose to hold back because of his mother.
At that moment, Murong Xue and Su Wan'er stepped forward together and positioned themselves protectively in front of him. Both folded their arms beneath their proud chests, their beautiful faces filled with icy fury.
Murong Xue's fiery red hair framed a face of imperious perfection… sharp phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, full red lips pressed into a thin line of contempt, and flawless jade-like skin radiating killing intent. Su Wan'er's delicate features had turned equally terrifying… her usually gentle golden eyes now cold as dragon scales, elegant brows furrowed, and soft lips curled in disgust as her ethereal beauty had become something unapproachable.
The instant Ruo Feng and Wang Hai laid eyes on the two peerless ladies, both men froze.
Panic flooded their faces.
One could even see the blood draining out of their pale and trembling face.
'This cruel, deceiving Jia Wen has dragged me into an inescapable disaster!'
Ruo Feng thought fearfully as a cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
Wang Hai's legs nearly gave out. Even with all his wealth, fear gripped him like never before. He recognized that black-haired beauty immediately, even though she had grown up into a bossy young miss. He had once been her personal driver when she was still a child!
Jia Wen noticed their sudden hesitation and grew impatient. She pressed her curvaceous body against both men and deliberately pushed her oiled cleavage forward.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and teach these pathetic women a lesson!"
When the two men remained unresponsive to her charms, irritation flashed across her face.
She hit Wang Hai's chest with her small fist.
"Do something already! Why are you so quiet? Did you forget you promised to protect me? Don't tell me you're afraid of these pathetic ladies—"
Slap!
Wang Hai's hand moved like lightning to deliver a vicious slap across Jia Wen's face. The force was so brutal that even Lin Yuan recoiled slightly, as if he himself had been struck.
Jia Wen's eyes instantly filled with tears.
She clutched her swelling cheek and cried out pitifully.
"Why did you hit me?!"
"You must be mad!"
Wang Hai shouted back furiously.
"Do you not know who this black-haired belle is?! There are only five people in this entire mall who own more shares than me, and they all belong to the Su family! This is Miss Su Wan'er the second highest shareholder of Grand Riverside Mall because of her exceptional achievements in both academics and sports! I used to be her personal driver when she was a child. It is because of her mercy that I was even gifted these shares and saved from a life of poverty! She can bankrupt me with a single word and make my entire family beggars!"
Jia Wen's face twisted with irritation. She insulted him viciously, calling him a spineless coward, then quickly turned to cozy up to Ruo Feng… the younger, more handsome man she actually preferred. In her mind, Ruo Feng was destined to join the Martial God Hall someday and was far better in bed than the old man.
She tried to hug Ruo Feng's arm and beg sweetly.
"Darling, please humble these two ladies for me—"
Slap!
Panicking even more, Ruo Feng also slapped her hard across the face.
Jia Wen whined and cried.
"You hit me too?!"
But she quickly fell silent when she saw the way Ruo Feng was sweating and trembling like a pig ready for slaughter.
"You really have some nerves offending someone like Murong Xue!"
Ruo Feng shouted at her in terror.
"Are you so stupidly ignorant and blind?! That is the Martial Goddess herself—the half-step Core Formation genius of the Murong Clan!"
He immediately turned toward Murong Xue and dropped so low that both knees and forehead slammed against the marble floor in a desperate kowtow.
"Martial Goddess, please forgive this ignorant one! I did not know it was you!"
His trembling Dao protectors followed suit and weeped openly as they kowtowed repeatedly.
Murong Xue looked down at them with brutal contempt.
Her voice was colder than an arctic.
Like a brutal feminine commander!
"Trash. A mere peak Qi Refinement ant dares shout in my presence? You are not even qualified to lick the dust off my shoes. Scram from my sight before I crush your entire Ruo Clan into oblivion!"
Ruo Feng and his men wept even harder while banging their heads against the floor.
They desperately needed her forgiveness!
At the same time, Wang Hai and his servants prostrated themselves before an irritated Su Wan'er whose chilling stare made them trembling violently.
"Miss Su, please have mercy!"
"This old servant was blind and foolish!"
"I will never do it again!"
There was nothing Old Wang Hai didn't say to try and save his skin.
Aunt Zhang stared at the two peerless beauties in utter shock.
Her voice came out as a stunned whisper.
"I… I didn't know my son's girlfriends included the Martial Goddess herself!"
She turned and smiled proudly at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan quietly looked away and slowly scratched the back of his head.
'I didn't know either…' (,,•᷄ࡇ•᷅ ,,)?
