Chapter 388: Chapter 389: Accountability

"Where? Where are they?"

Ximen Huan spoke coldly, his gaze immediately scanning the crowd, quickly locating Chen Xiao and a few women sitting in a corner.

Upon seeing this, his anger surged!

He strode over with large steps.

His imposing presence and the anger on his face left many people puzzled.

Who could possibly make Young Master Ximen so furious?

They all had a look of curiosity and anticipation.

But they soon realized that Ximen Huan was heading straight for Chen Xiao and the others.

Lu Wushuang noticed Ximen Huan as well and, instead of being afraid, mischievously winked at him.

In Ximen Huan’s eyes, this wink was undoubtedly a blatant public provocation.

Outrageous!

Outrageous indeed!

This was his, Ximen Huan’s, domain!

And still, they dared to provoke him!

Was this woman truly unafraid of death?

Zhang Yaqing also noticed him, "Oh, Young Master Ximen, what brings you here?!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yaqing’s taunt, Ximen Huan finally couldn’t contain himself, "Seeing me, you can actually remain so calm, you truly have some nerve!"

"You dared to deceive Young Master Huan, today you’re done for!"

"No one has ever dared to play tricks on Young Master Huan like this!"

"Today, you will pay the price for your actions!"

The lackeys behind Ximen Huan also loudly shouted.

The crowd looked perplexed.

Ximen Huan was actually getting into it with this troublesome guy Chen Xiao?

This was bound to be interesting.

Someone eager to flatter Ximen Huan approached, "Young Master Huan, how did these guys offend you?"

Then he shouted harshly at Zhang Yaqing and the others, "Confess your crimes quickly!"

"What the hell are you, get lost!" Lu Wushuang glared coldly at him.

She herself was an Energy Transformation Grandmaster, would she possibly fear this guy?

Her aura released, startling the man.

More people stepped forward to back Ximen Huan, "We’re all people of the scene. Since there’s a conflict, it should be resolved, right? We are fair people. As long as you tell us how you deceived Young Master Ximen, we’ll act as mediators."

"Otherwise, if Young Master Ximen gets angry, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it."

Although Chen Xiao was somewhat famous now, who was Ximen Huan?

He was backed by the Ximen Family, and also the Tang Family.

Just these two backgrounds alone were enough to let him walk the Divine Land with impunity.

When conflicts arise between the two, there’s no doubt they’d side with Ximen Huan.

Seeing he had the upper hand, Ximen Huan’s confidence increased, "I’ll give you one last chance. Confess to me obediently, and I may overlook the past."

"Otherwise, my methods are not so gentle."

Lu Wushuang smiled, "So, Young Master Ximen, tell us, how did we deceive you?"

Ximen Huan’s expression stiffened. If he publicly admitted to being over-eager and hitting on them, wouldn’t he be ridiculed by others?

"Yeah, go on, tell us!" Zhang Yaqing egged him on fearlessly.

"If you won’t say it, then I will." Lu Ruge slowly stood up, "You harassed us on the plane, got rejected, and then kept pestering us after getting off. You asked for our contact information, and I told you adding a contact costs money."

"Then you agreed to give each of us fifty million if we added you, didn’t you?"

At this, the crowd looked a bit odd.

When put like this, it didn’t sound very dignified.

After all, to be deceived by women due to lust, if word got out, it would certainly damage one’s reputation.

Ximen Huan’s face burned. Without needing to look, he knew those people’s expressions must be peculiar now.

Taking a deep breath, he said lightly, "Yes, I did intend to get to know you all, after noticing your cultured demeanor..."

"I didn’t expect you to be such people!"

"Took my money and vanished without a trace!"

"That’s not true." Zhang Yaqing smiled faintly, "You paid for us to add you on WeChat, didn’t we add you?"

Ximen Huan was taken aback, "Yes, you did."

"Then what’s the problem?" Zhang Yaqing smiled, "You watched us add you, so how can you say we swindled your money?"

Ximen Huan was at a loss for words for a moment, it seemed somewhat reasonable?

"No!" He suddenly realized, "You added me and then immediately deleted me!"

Zhang Yaqing shrugged, "You didn’t say we couldn’t delete you!"

"You—" Ximen Huan fumed, "Are you toying with me?"

"Yes, we are. So what?" Lu Ruge said domineeringly, "If there’s an issue, talk to my junior brother."

"That’s right, this is our third sister," Zhang Yaqing pushed Lu Ruge forward, "Miss of the Capital Lu Family."

"The Lu family amounts to nothing!" Ximen Huan was already furious, "In front of the Tang Family, the Lu Family would bow in obeisance! If you don’t give me an explanation today, no one leaves here!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao calmly stood up, "What kind of explanation are you looking for?!"

His tone was calm, yet carried a subtle pressure.

Ximen Huan looked at his cold, sharp gaze and felt a twinge of anxiety.

Soon he bit his lip, this was his Tang Family’s territory, why should he fear this boy?

"Young Master, what’s the matter?"

Just then, a group of men in battle attire came striding confidently.

They were all Tang Family-trained experts.

Tonight’s event was significant.

So the Tang Family had to deploy more personnel to maintain order at the venue.

"Tang Family, Wind God Guards!"

"Heard this Wind God Guards, each one is an elite!"

"Of course, they are the elite troop personally trained by the Tang Family’s Great Tributor, Gu Qingshan, Master Gu!"

"Additionally, heard that Elder Gu will also be attending tonight, to maintain order."

"Isn’t he the Half-step Grandmaster...Gu Qingshan?!"

The crowd was astonished.

Ximen Huan told the Wind God Guards, "Surround them all for me!"

The Wind God Guards said nothing more and directly surrounded Chen Xiao and the others.
