Chapter 390: Chapter 390: Excelling at Winning People Over with Virtue
"Yes!" Ximen Huan nodded repeatedly.
"Then Mr. Chen didnât hit hard enough!" Tang Jianfeng grit his teeth and forced out the words.
"Ah?" Ximen Huan was stunned.
Soon after, his face got slapped hard several times again.
"Slap slap!" His face swelled up like a pigâs head, blood kept pouring out from the corners of his mouth, completely bewildered.
Tang Jianfeng was furious, directly dragging him towards Chen Xiao.
Ximen Huan was nearly being dragged forward, "Cousin! What are you doing? Cousin, donât!"
Ximen Huan shouted, knowing that his cousin didnât think much of him as a playboy, yet he was fairly doting. Today, whatâs got him to lose his mind?
A few seconds later, Tang Jianfeng reached Chen Xiao, immediately nodding and bowing, "Mr. Chen, itâs truly a pleasure to see you here today."
"My little cousin doesnât know his place, please donât lower yourself to his foolish level. Iâll have him apologize to you; you can deal with him as you wish."
With these words, the whole scene fell into dead silence.
They knew Chen Xiao was something, but didnât expect that not only would Gu Qingshan not dare act against Chen Xiao, even the Second Young Master of the Tang Family would have to bow and scrape before Chen Xiao!
Is this still the Tang Family that doesnât even acknowledge the other Four Great Families?
The scene unfolding had completely collapsed their worldview.
Ximen Huan was utterly baffled too.
This... What on earth is this guyâs background?
He knew his cousin well; in terms of arrogance and dominance, he was even more blatant than himself! Now, heâs actually being submissive like a lackey?
How could he know that Tang Jianfengâs very life was now in Chen Xiaoâs grip? Not to mention lowering himself, even if asked to kneel to Chen Xiao, he wouldnât hesitate.
"Tang Jianfeng, this cousin of yours dares have thoughts about my woman, quite the audacity." Chen Xiao smirked at the corners of his mouth.
"You bastard!" Tang Jianfeng slapped Ximen Huan hard on the face again.
"Kneel down!"
He kicked the back of Ximen Huanâs knees!
Thudâ
Ximen Huan knelt straight in front of Chen Xiao.
Tang Jianfeng leaned in close and whispered in Ximen Huanâs ear, "Let me tell you, Iâm doing all this to save you. If you truly anger him, youâre in fear for your life today!"
Ximen Huan swallowed hard, "Cousin, whatâs his background?"
"Heâs Chen Xiao!"
Ximen Huan trembled all over, gritting his teeth and whispered, "Even if heâs Chen Xiao, so what? Does our Tang Family fear him?"
"Sure, our Tang Family doesnât fear him, but itâs not worth crossing him to the death, understand?" Tang Jianfeng said, looking at him exasperatedly, "Even Gu Qingshan, a half-step Grandmaster, is no match for him. Is your head hard enough to withstand his punch?"
"Let me tell you information thatâs internal; itâs rumored that the person in the Philippines who punched Manlardâs head off is him! His senior sister is Leng Baiyu! Even that Divine Might General in Eagle Country was punched to death by him; what are you compared to that?"
As one of the new generationâs inheritors of the Tang Family, Tang Jianfengâs information channels were far richer than others. After suffering greatly at Chen Xiaoâs hands in Jinling, he immediately began digging into Chen Xiaoâs background, only to find the more he dug, the more he was startled...
Most importantly, his elder brother who held a significant position in the War Department and returned to the Tang Family preparing to participate in the Hundred Countries Military Battle also mentioned Chen Xiaoâs name!
After asking, Tang Jianfeng found out that Chen Xiao had already been internally selected to represent Dragon Soul in the Hundred Countries Military Fight! The weight of this identity during this special time goes without saying!
Moreover, now those truly standing at the pinnacle of Divine Landâs top circle vaguely guessed it was Chen Xiaoâs intervention that allowed Leng Baiyu to return safely from the Philippines!
Now, he held nothing but reverence towards Chen Xiao.
This is a formidable person weighing no less than his elder brother!
Even from an age perspective, this Chen Xiao guy is even more of a prodigy than his elder brother.
Ximen Huan processed these shocking revelations in his mind, completely scared witless, kneeling on the ground, nodding his head like a pecking hen.
"Mr. Chen, earlier I spoke without consideration, deeply offending you. I admit my mistake, no matter how you choose to punish me, I accept, whether compensation or punishment, just spare me my life!"
He was frightened stupid by Tang Jianfengâs words; a person who can punch the Philippines Emperorâs head off, would he even bat an eye at him, a playboy?
Although the Tang Family indeed has a Martial Saint level Ancestor, they wouldnât get involved for a minor figure like him, the little karami.
Chen Xiao said calmly, "Then it depends on your sincerity. I am a civilized person, not skilled at fighting."
"Exactly!" Tang Jianfeng nodded quickly, "Mr. Chen may be mighty, but he prefers winning through virtue! You idiot, hurry and rise up, discuss how to compensate Mr. Chen?"
He slapped the back of Ximen Huanâs head hard again.
Only then did Ximen Huan tentatively rise.
Chen Xiao said, "Iâm not interested in compensation, discuss it with my senior sister."
Lu Rugao said, "I was quite startled earlier, just a small compensation of ten billion will do."
She wasnât afraid of Ximen Huanâs retaliation, with the backing of a little junior brother, a big senior sister, and a master, whatâs there to fear?
If thereâs profit to be had, itâs foolish not to take it.
Ximen Huanâs face froze, "Ten billion?!"
"Is that unreasonable?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow.
