Wu Daojun said: "As a monarch, if you cannot stand up for those under your command, who would trust you? Itās not excessive, not excessive at all."
"Alright, since thatās the case, letās be honest. We were just discussing who gave the order targeting our Fishing Guild people. After Lord Magistrateās identification, it was determined that the one who ordered the operation against us was you, Half-step Dragon Realm, Wu Daojun."
"Do you have anything to say about this?"
Chen Jie looked at Wu Daojun. This was forcing Wu Daojun to make a choice. Chen Jie hoped to see Wu Daojun and the Old Prefect bite each other like dogs.
Hearing this, Wu Daojun glanced at the Old Prefect, who was shrinking his neck with a guilty expression. Wu Daojun looked at him and said: "Thatās right, I gave the order targeting your Fishing Guild!"
Wu Daojun directly admitted it. Hearing this, the Old Prefect looked at Chen Jie in surprise, his expression seemed to say, did you hear that?
He admitted it himself, so Iām completely safe.
Chen Jie turned to Wu Daojun and said: "Do you realize the consequences of admitting this?"
Wu Daojun replied: "Itās nothing but my life. As I said, I was the one who ordered the action against your Fishing Guild."
Chen Jie said: "Very well, youāre a true man. Since you put it this way, if I donāt take action, I would underestimate your loyalty. Since thatās the case, Lord Magistrate, Iāll give you one chance. Tell me, was it truly his command that the advisor and Chief Zhang persecuted my Fishing Guild people?"
"This!"
The Old Prefect hesitated. Chen Jie looked at him and said: "Lord Magistrate, just one word from you, if you say itās him, he will inevitably die. If you say itās not him, Iāll investigate further. I trust you!"
The Old Prefect replied: "No need to investigate, no need to investigate, it was him, it was him, thereās no mistake, it was him."
Hearing this, Chen Jie smiled: "Very well, excellent. Since itās like this, the truth is clear. Lord Magistrate, thereās nothing more here for you, you can leave now."
The Old Prefect responded: "Ah, I can leave? Then, then Iām leaving."
The Old Prefect turned to leave hastily, and when passing by Wu Daojun, he said: "Brother Wu, thank you."
Wu Daojun looked at him with some disappointment. He already knew that this person was ungrateful, and even though he understood his nature, he still couldnāt help feeling disappointed. He sighed and said: "From now on, our friendship is over; Iāve repaid our past favors."
The Old Prefect didnāt even pause; there was no hesitation at all as he left without looking back at Wu Daojun.
Watching him leave, Xiao Hu walked up and said: "Jiu Si, are we just going to let that old guy leave like that?"
Chen Jie replied: "You take some people to make sure that old guy departs in style."
Xiao Hu said: "What if he refuses to leave in style?"
Chen Jie replied: "Then help him leave in style."
Hearing this, Xiao Hu said: "Understood. I was just chatting with Chen Wu, this guy said he was seriously bullied by that old guy lately. Everyone thought of nine ways to kill him, nine ways."
Chen Jie said: "Then go."
Xiao Hu turned and left.
Now only Wu Daojun remained. Chen Jie looked at him and said: "Itās your turn."
Wu Daojun gazed at Chen Jie with a calm expression. Chen Jie said: "You saw me sending people to kill that old dog, and yet youāre unmoved?"
Wu Daojun replied: "A meal saved me once, so I served him for three years, and now Iāve taken the fall for him. Iāve repaid everything; I owe him nothing."
Chen Jie remarked: "Good, youāre indeed loyal and righteous."
"Now, itās time to settle the score between us."
Wu Daojun looked at Chen Jie and said: "Yes."
Chen Jie continued: "There isnāt much animosity between us. How about this: if you can withstand one of my palms without dying, all past grievances between us will be canceled, how about it?"
"One palm? That simple?"
Chen Jie looked at Wu Daojunās surprised expression and said: "Simple? Yes, very simple, come and try to take one of my palms."
Wu Daojun asked: "Are you serious? If I withstand your palm, you will truly cancel our grievances?"
Chen Jie replied: "I never lie."
Wu Daojun responded: "Then bring it on!"
Saying this, Wu Daojun released his Half-step Dragon Realm aura, and suddenly a huge black bear appeared behind him. His practice of the Mountain Pressing Palm resulted in a Martial Arts Illusion of a black bear.
Sensing the terrifying aura of his black bear, the three gang leaders, including Shi Gengming, the Soul-Rending Spear, changed their expressions. So powerful! As expected of a Half-step Dragon Realm expert, terrifying indeed!
Someone asked Shi Gengming: "Boss Shi, compared to him, who is stronger?"
Shi Gengming replied: "Iām not as strong as he is!"
Everyone thought, no wonder heās a Half-step Dragon Realm expert; Chen Jiusi boasting about taking him down with one palm seems excessive. Even if heās in the Dragon Realm, how could he defeat the strong Wu Daojun in just one hit?
At this moment, everyone felt that Wu Daojun could definitely withstand this palm.
However, at this moment, suddenly their expressions changed dramatically as they felt the entire atmosphere become oppressive, followed by a dragonās roar.
Roar~
The next instant, everyoneās faces turned extremely grim, and simultaneously they saw Chen Jie raise his hand with a giant dragon coiled behind him. Instantly, they felt they couldnāt breathe.
Chen Jie then lightly extended a palm towards Wu Daojun.
Wu Daojunās eyes widened in shock; he never expected Chen Jieās palm to be so terrifying.
"How, how is this possible!"
His eyes were incredibly wide, feeling the incoming palm. No, he couldnāt take it; he would die, definitely die under this palm.
Watching the scene, Shi Gengming and others also widened their eyes in disbelief. Although the palm wasnāt aimed at them, facing this palm made them feel as if the sky was falling.
In their minds, there was only one thought: How on earth could anyone withstand this?
