As a baronâs residence, naturally, its architectural specifications were built according to the empireâs standards.
Despite being low in rank, lodgings of normal martial warriors couldnât be compared to it.
The building looked high-tech like it came from a science fiction movie. At the same time, it had the aura of an ancient sculpture. It looked extraordinary at a single glance.
There were more than ten planetary-stage martial warriors guarding the entrance. Standing in two rows, they gave off a fierce and sharp aura. Their backs were straight like spears. These were martial warriors who had killed before.
They werenât ordinary planetary-stage martial warriors. They were at the peak of their level.
Wang Teng and An Lan walked toward the entrance.
âPlease stop!â a planetary-stage martial warrior blocked their path and ordered in a low voice.
âWhy is Cao Hongtu putting on this show? Doesnât he find it embarrassing?â Wang Teng sneered as he scanned the two rows of martial warriors.
Was he planning to frighten him with these ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors?
What was he thinking?
He had killed a few celestial-stage martial warriors, so the ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors were nothing to him.
It looked like Cao Hongtuâs foundation wasnât very strong.
âThis is the baronâs residence. No outsiders are allowed,â the ninth-level planetary-stage martial warrior said coldly.
âTell Cao Hongtu that I, Wang Teng, am here,â Wang Teng snorted. âIâll give him ten seconds to appear. If he doesnât, let him play alone. Iâm leaving.â
The planetary-stage martial warriorâs expression changed.
An Lan shook his head. He scoffed at Cao Hongtuâs actions.
Low class.
This wasnât what a heaven-stage martial warrior should do. He would never do this.
Besides, his opponent was the sly little fox, Wang Teng. He was asking for humiliation with this simple act.
The ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors were acting on orders, so they couldnât make decisions. They didnât know what to do.
âHahahaâŚâ Peals of laughter were heard at this moment.
The ninth-level planetary-stage martial warriors heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Teng stood at the entrance and peered inside. He saw a figure appearing ten meters ahead.
This was a lofty and muscular middle-aged man. He had brown curly hair and a stern but sinister face. There was a sharp glow in his inverted triangle eyes. It was impossible for anyone to look directly at them.
The aura he exuded was powerful. There seemed to be frightening energy encased within. This was a true heaven-stage martial warrior.
This person was Cao Hongtu!
âI should call you junior brother, right?â Cao Hongtu walked forward. His voice was loud.
âIâm just an inheritor. I didnât formally acknowledge him as my master,â Wang Teng said calmly.
Cao Hongtuâs expression froze. But it only lasted for a second. He immediately gave a smile and said, âSame, both of us inherited our masterâs legacy. Itâs not wrong to call you junior brother.â
âAlright then, Senior Brother Cao,â Wang Teng said. However, his expression remained indifferent.
âI apologize for what happened just now. My subordinates were careless and stopped you. Please come in.â Cao Hongtu didnât get angry. He raised his hand to welcome Wang Teng inside warmly.
Wang Teng didnât harp on the topic. With a nod, he walked inside.
âThis is?â Cao Hongtu noticed the person in the gray gown following behind Wang Teng. His gaze turned sharp.
âThis is my bodyguard. Iâm a timid person. Many people want my life now, so I feel more at ease with a bodyguard,â Wang Teng said in a meaningful tone.
An Lan felt frustrated. He was indeed a bodyguard, but as a heaven-stage martial warrior, he had his ego. Could this brat give him some respect during the next introduction?
Cao Hongtu didnât get awkward. He laughed and said, âWho dares to touch you in Great Qian City? You must be thinking too much.â
âI donât think so. Itâs better to be careful. No one knows what can happen if you push a dog into a corner. Donât you agree, Senior Brother Cao?â Wang Teng chuckled.
Silence.
Even with Cao Hongtuâs composure, he felt the corners of his mouth trembling. This young brat had a sharp tongue!
He was scolding him indirectly. Was he calling him a dog?
A heaven-stage martial warrior like him was called a dog, yet he couldnât offer a refute. He felt so exasperated that he wanted to vomit blood.
âSenior Brother Cao, whatâs wrong with you? Are you alright?â Wang Teng pretended to be ignorant.
Whatâs wrong with me?
Donât you know the answer?
Cao Hongtu felt like cursing, but he maintained his calm expression on the surface. â⌠Iâm fine.â
âThatâs good. I thought you were sick. When you get older, you should take good care of your health. Donât be embarrassed just because youâre a heaven-stage martial warrior. This is human nature,â Wang Teng said.
F**k!?The word got stuck in his throat. He couldnât say it out loud.
An Lan had a hard time controlling his laughter.
Wang Teng was so evil. He made it sound as if Cao Hongtu was really sick!
Cao Hongtu hurriedly changed the topic. If he allowed Wang Teng to continue, he didnât know what he would hear.
âYour bodyguard isnât simple!â He glanced at An Lan intently.
âHeâs just okay. I found him at random,â Wang Teng replied.
An Lan: âŚ
Cao Hongtu didnât know if Wang Teng was acting to fool him or if he was honestly confident.
This bodyguard hid his ability well. Even he couldnât see through him. This made things harder to grasp.
In the universe, there were many treasures that could help one to conceal oneâs strength. This bodyguard might be using one of them.
Was he a heaven-stage or a cosmos-stage martial warrior?
Based on his research, he knew that Wang Teng came from a faraway planet and had no background. How could he find a heaven-stage martial warrior as a bodyguard?
Thus, this bodyguard was probably a cosmos-stage martial warrior Wang Teng found by offering a heavy reward. He hid his ability so that others couldnât see through him and remain fearful.
Cao Hongtu felt that he had guessed the truth. He felt more confident about tackling Wang Teng.
This was the effect Wang Teng wanted, hence the reason he asked An Lan to hide his ability.
At the rock gambling den, An Lan hadnât revealed his strength in front of Cao Guan and Cao Jiaojiao. Thus, they had the upper hand.
After that, Cao Hongtu started talking randomly as he brought Wang Teng to the living room. The Cao family was waiting for them there.
Cao Jiaojiao and Cao Guan were present too, along with other youngsters. They were all Cao Hongtuâs descendants.
When Cao Jiaojiao and Cao Guan saw Wang Teng, their expressions changed. They had just suffered in his hands.
âCome, let me introduce everyone. You have met Jiaojiao and Cao Guan. As for the restâŚâ Cao Hongtu introduced the other youngsters.
Wang Tengâs gaze paused on two people. One was a cosmos-stage martial warrior called Cao Wu. The other was only at the seventh or eighth level of the cosmos stage, but he didnât seem like a good person. This young man was called Cao Ling. He looked harder to deal with than Cao Wu.
Wang Teng wasnât afraid though. After all, compared to him, these were all a generation smaller.
âYes, all my junior nephews are outstanding.â He nodded in a composed manner and commented like an elder.
The Cao family: âŚ
There was an eerie silence. They knew that Wang Teng was taking advantage of them, but they couldnât do anything.
An Lan gave Wang Teng a strange look. He stood quietly beside him with his head lowered, perfectly playing his role as a bodyguard.
âHave a seat.â Cao Hongtu broke the silence.
The atmosphere became lively. Everyone took their seats. Wang Teng was asked to sit beside Cao Hongtu.
âYou can have a seat too.â Cao Hongtu looked at An Lan standing behind Wang Teng.
âNo need,â An Lan replied coldly in his hoarse voice. After saying these two words, he closed his eyes and remained quiet.
A flash of anger appeared in Cao Hongtuâs eyes after he got rejected. Though he hid it well. He smiled and nodded. âI wonât force you.â
âServe the dishes!â
Very soon, pretty ladies walked over with the food.
Some of these ladies were orcs while others were humans. All of them were around 18 years old and beautiful.
Wang Teng felt that Cao Hongtu knew how to enjoy his life. He bought so many beautiful servants to serve him.
Soon, delicious food and wine were served. Cao Hongtu asked Wang Teng to have a taste.
He kept finding topics during the meal. He was trying to figure out Wang Tengâs background.
Wang Teng answered all his queries, but he was talking nonsense most of the time. With his skill in bullshitting, it was a piece of cake.
âI heard about what happened yesterday. Jiaojiao and Cao Guan were in the wrong,â Cao Hongtu suddenly said.
âItâs alright. Theyâre just immature kids. I understand,â Wang Teng replied nonchalantly. They couldnât do anything to him, so he didnât care.
Again!
The Cao Family: âŚ
Cao Guanâs face turned red. He felt his peers looking at him mockingly.
Cao Jiaojiao gritted her teeth. She wished she could tear Wang Teng into pieces. This bastard treated her like a child. This was a humiliation.
âIâll definitely punish them.â Cao Hongtu felt his teeth hurting, but this was all he could say.
âYes, you need to teach a child if heâs disobedient. Otherwise, he will cause huge trouble, and it will be too late to punish him at that time.â Wang Teng nodded in agreement.
F**k!?Cao Guan was fuming in his heart.
âCough, even so, you still offended the Parkers yesterday. This wonât benefit you in any way.â Cao Hongtu coughed awkwardly and changed the topic. He sounded as if he was worried about Wang Teng.
âItâs fine. I took four trillion from them, so I wonât have to worry about my future. I can enjoy myself and stay in Great Qian City until I die. I wonât be going anywhere,â Wang Teng said casually.
Cao Hongtu was stunned by Wang Tengâs words. He didnât know how to reply for a second. He raised his wine glass and took a sip to suppress his exasperation and anger. A smile reappeared on his face.
âIt might be alright for you, but you should think for your parents and your mother planet.â
The atmosphere froze immediately.
The real purpose was revealed at the end!
