Chapter 370 -5 Acting

“Annoy us, and you’ll have to pay!” the middle-aged man declared.

“Pay… money?” The elderly man clutched the corner of his clothes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

“Yes, not too much! Just 2000 Destiny Plates, and I won’t hold this against you,” the middle-aged man snorted.

The old man showed a pleading look in his eyes, “2000… Sir, my grandson and I are just ordinary people, we don’t have that many Destiny Plates…”

“Don’t have them?”

With a raised eyebrow, the middle-aged man extended his hand forward, snatched the storage ring from the old man’s hand, and with a forceful pinch between his index finger and thumb, a surge of Strength burst forth.

Boom!

The storage ring exploded, and a pile of Destiny Plates fell to the ground, exactly 2000 of them.

Once a master’s storage ring is crushed, the items inside will spill out.

“You said you didn’t have any? Where did these Destiny Plates come from?” The middle-aged man gently grabbed with his palm, collecting the Destiny Plates into his own storage ring.

“Please don’t… this is our money for emergencies, please give it back…”

The old man’s face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly reached to grab them, but the other party didn’t give him the chance, kicking him away.

“You ungrateful dog, biting the hand that feeds you…”

After securing the Destiny Plates, the middle-aged man huffed and walked back to his seat.

Struggling to his feet, the old man knelt and clung to his legs, “Sir, please… this is really our emergency money, please give it back…”

“Shut up!”

As his shouting grew louder and more people began to watch, the middle-aged man’s expression darkened. He raised his hand, about to slap again, but felt his arm suddenly gripped by a hand as firm as an iron hoop.

Turning his head, he saw it was the young man who had been sitting not far away.

“Kid, I advise you to mind your own business, or I assure you won’t see tomorrow’s second sun!”

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes.

“Oh? You can control the weather now? So it’s going to rain tomorrow, is that it?”

The young man smiled, seemingly unaffected by the threat.

The middle-aged man was close to losing his breath with anger and coldly explained, “I mean you will die here!”

The youth replied, “Oh, then you’re overthinking it. I’m in good health, free from illness and disaster, and should be fine for a while!”

“Stop bullshitting if you don’t want to die, let go now!”

The middle-aged man knew the other was just spouting nonsense, and with a cold huff, he exerted strength in his arm. In a blink of an eye, a gust of wind surged up, causing the surrounding air to buzz.

“This kid’s in for it now…”

“It’s obvious that guy saw how much money the old man had, that’s why he’s picking a fight!”

“Who dares to do this here, they must have powerful backers, and anyone using Teleportation Formations is likely from out of town. Why meddle in other’s affairs and ask for trouble?”

Low voices rose around.

Ignoring the people’s words, the middle-aged man continued to raise his hand, but the young man’s hand was as if firmly welded to his arm, unmoving, letting him run his Strength wildly to no avail.

“No wonder you dare to meddle, you do have some strength!”

Realizing this, the middle-aged man scoffed and suddenly thrust out his other hand.

At this moment, a Dagger with a grayish blade emitting a cold chill appeared in his palm, causing an involuntary shudder even before it struck.

The young man, unconcerned, lightly tapped his hand.

His movement was graceful, like a divine crane picking grass or a swallow capturing mud, with just a gentle touch, the Dagger landed in his hand. The next moment, with a “snap,” a hand bone broke.

“Ah…”

The middle-aged man’s face immediately turned pale, and anger flashed in his eyes: “How dare you hurt me, you’re seeking death…”

In a fit of rage, he kicked out.

But he didn’t reach the other party, his knee buckled, and his leg bone broke.

The young man before him, young in age, seemed like a whirlpool, devouring all the forces directed at him and feeding it back with even greater power.

“You…”

Injured again, the middle-aged man realized the other’s strength far surpassed his, but he was not scared, instead, he stepped back and shouted.

“People, come here!”

With his shout, a group of armored guards rushed in, the ones guarding the Teleportation Formations.

“What’s all this noise about?”

A guard leader clad in Golden Armor, holding a long saber, strode over.

“Reporting to Households Commander Shen, I was seeking to discuss matters with these two, and while conversing amicably, this fellow suddenly interfered, attacking and injuring me. I hope the commander can administer justice for me…”

The middle-aged man hurriedly spoke.

“Amicable discussion? Interfering?”

The young man was speechless.

Having seen people misrepresenting the truth before, this was his first time encountering such blatant fabrications.

This was naturally Zhang Xuan.

Although he knew that meddling might not be ideal, he couldn’t stand watching bullying happen right in front of him.

“This guy, using his strength to bully others, stealing their property, I couldn’t stand it and intervened…”

Zhang Xuan explained briefly.

“Sir, he’s lying! You’ve known us for many years, as you know, I’ve always abided by the law, I wouldn’t even dare to kill a chicken, how could I possibly bully anyone? If you don’t believe me, you can ask them!”

The middle-aged man looked to an elder and a child beside him, his voice carrying a severe tone: “Tell Households Commander Shen, have I bullied you! You must tell the truth, if you falsely accuse me, not even gods could save you.”

“This…”

Hearing his threatening tone, the elder hugged the child and involuntarily took a step back.

“Don’t be afraid, just tell us, what exactly happened?”

Seemingly oblivious to the middle-aged man’s threatening tone, Households Commander Shen nonchalantly said.

“Our grandchild and I, we did have a matter to discuss with this gentleman, it wasn’t, wasn’t bullying…”

The elderly man gritted his teeth and finally spoke.

Zhang Xuan frowned: “Old man, don’t be afraid of his threats, as long as I am here, I will certainly seek justice for you…”

“He didn’t threaten me, it’s you, always meddling…”

The elder showed a hint of panic and hurriedly spoke.

“Households Commander Shen, you heard it, this guy disregarded the rules and attacked me here… His crimes are utterly heinous!”

Seeing the elder speak thus, the middle-aged man relaxed and a cold smile appeared in his eyes: “Please take action to teach him a lesson, to uphold the authority of the Wanxiang Sect…”

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Households Commander Shen raised his hand: “Take this guy down, interrogate him thoroughly!”

Zhang Xuan explained: “It was this man who robbed their belongings, I merely intervened with good intentions…”

Households Commander Shen looked over with a cold face, took a step forward, and with a pressing gaze, said: “Are you suggesting I am framing you?”
