Chapter 50: Ridiculing Ling Jiu, an Important Guest
The students were all aghast in admiration, with a trace of awe as they looked at Ai Jiacheng.
In this dangerous age, what was needed the most was none other than strengthâŠ
And Arcanists represented power!
With so many Arcanists belonging to the Ai family, it meant that the Ai family had power, which those consortiums with money and authority could scarcely even compare.
It was no exaggeration to call the Ai family the number one family in Changâan Base City.
âYouâre quite knowledgeable!â
Ai Jiacheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Lun with some surprise.
âMaster Ai, you flatter me. One of my roommates is born with a silver spoon, so he knows quite a bit about this, and Iâve learned about it from him as well,â Zhang Lun humbly said.
Ai Jiacheng nodded casually.
âWu Na, your boyfriend is amazing!â
âWu Na, you struck gold!â
âWu Na, you have to support your old classmates in the future. Donât be like some, already having their nose up high long before they made it big!â
âWatch your words, is our Wu Na that sort of person?â
âLook at my mouthâŠâ
Listening to the flatteries of her fellow classmates, and then looking at their envious and hateful eyes, Wu Naâs vanity was greatly satisfied.
Ai Jiacheng also gave his girlfriend plenty of face. âEveryone is Nanaâs classmate. If you come to Changâan Base City in the future, do look for me!â
âYoung Master Ai is a good person!â
âLook at Master Ai, and then at a certain someone, why is the gap between people so big?â
âWu Na, your boyfriend is so niceâŠâ
Seeing Ai Jiacheng and Wu Na becoming the focus and the object of flattering, Li Kai felt down, and could not help but to snort in a low voice. âIsnât it just because he was born into a good family? Without that, heâs not even worthy of picking up your shoes for you, Olâ Ling!â
âForget it, they are just a bunch of children, why be calculative with them!â
Ling Jiu was a grown man in his past life and had long seen through all of this. He patted Li Kai on the shoulder and smiled. âYou guys continue chatting, Iâll head in first.â
âOlâ Ling, youâre really not joining the class reunion?â Li Kai asked.
âDidnât I told you, I invited a friend to eat here!â Ling Jiu smiled and then walked towards Wanhua Plaza.
âWhy did Ling Jiu leave?â
âDidnât he came to join the class reunion?â
Looking at Ling Jiuâs departing figure, the classmates looked at each other. The freckled girl pursed her lips and smiled. âCould it be that Master Aiâs aura is too strong, and he could not stand it so he left in a hurry?â
âHahaha, to think that he wants to compare to Master Ai, why doesnât he take a piss and look at the reflection!â
A few girls ridiculed Ling Jiu as they wanted to leave a good impression on Ai Jiacheng. If it werenât for Wu Na being beside him, they would have glued themselves to him. For such a good boyfriend, they wouldnât mind throwing themselves at him.
âWhat bullshit are you talking about?â
Li Kai glared at the girls. âWho do you think you are that you have the right to ridicule Olâ Ling? Why donât you take a piss and look at your damn reflections!â
The looks on these girlsâ faces froze, and their expressions suddenly became uncomfortable.
âTo tell you the truth, Olâ Lingâs current net worth has already exceeded 2 billion. That amount of money is not something you lot could earn in ten lifetimes, and you have the cheek to ridicule him?â Li Kai yelled angrily.
He had long been pissed at these girls for a long time. They were doing naught but showing off their wealth in the group chat all day long. Buying a new bag today, a new lipstick tomorrow, causing the entire classroom chat group to be in a dour atmosphere, and he had been pissed for a long time now.
âTwo⊠Two billion?â
These girls wanted to refute him but after hearing 2 billion, an incredulous look appeared on their faces. âLi Kai, youâre joking right?â
âDonât believe me? Haha, you can go to Panguâs official website to check!â
Li Kai sneered. âOh, right, you donât seem to be able to enter the official site, as you lot canât even sign the lowest D-level contract with Pangu!â
Listening to Li Kaiâs sarcasm, the girlsâ faces turned pale and then green before the class monitor, Xu Gang quickly stood up to calm the tensions. âLetâs just cut back on the barbs, everyoneâs a former classmate, so give each other some face yeah?â
The girls took the opportunity and backed down as they all echoed in agreement. At this moment, Ai Jiacheng was surprised and said. âUncle Wang, why are you here?â
Everyone turned their heads around and saw Ai Jiacheng walking quickly towards a majestic-looking middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was dressed in casual clothes and was followed by several black-clad bodyguards. All of them sharp-eyed and were extremely fearless, everyone who saw them knew they were not ordinary folks at first glance.
Wang Chao looked at Ai Jiacheng in surprise.
âUncle Wang, itâs me!â
Ai Jiacheng smiled and said. âI came to Lantian Base City for fun this time. I actually planned to visit you tomorrow, but I did not expect to meet you here!â
Wang Chao chuckled: âThe last time we met was a few years ago, right. I didnât expect you to grow up so fast. By the way, howâs your dad?â
âHeâs doing fine! He misses you all the time!â
Ai Jiacheng was very well-mannered. âHe always mentioned the times when you two roamed the wilderness and hunted Direbeasts. He kept saying that if it werenât for you, there would be no him today! When he learned I was visiting Lantian Base City, he specifically told me to pay you a visit no matter what!â
âYour dad is still the same!â
Wang Chao laughed and said. âRemember to come to my house tomorrow, I have an important guest today, so Iâll head off first.â
âUncle Wang, please go ahead. Iâll definitely go to your place tomorrow!â Ai Jiacheng nodded repeatedly.
Wang Chao left after speaking.
Looking at his back, Ai Jiacheng let out a long sigh as Wu Na asked in confusion. âJiacheng, is he your elder?â
âYeah, an old friend of my dad. When they were younger, they experienced the Direbeast Catastrophe together, so they had a friendship in life and blood.
Ai Jiacheng explained. âLater on, my father went home and inherited the family background, while Uncle Wang joined the army, and heâs now the Chief of the Lantian Base City military district!â
âHeâs the chief of the Lantian Base City military district?â Wu Na and the other classmates could not help but be surprised when they heard that.
The military bore many meanings throughout Lantian Base City, and while there were many Arcana organizations in the base city, but in the minds of the people, the military was undoubtedly the number one force of the base city.
Supreme Chief of the Military District!
âSo excited, I did not expect to see such a great person here!â
âA shame! I should have taken a picture just now!â
âYeah, how could I forget this? If I managed to take a photo and share it to my Moments, itâll sure look very good!â
The students were either excited, annoyed, or regretful, each with different expressions.
âCome, letâs go in!â
The group entered Wanhua Plaza and came to the pre-booked room. When they walked past the room beside it, they saw a few black-clad bodyguards standing at the door of the box. All of them stood up straight, looking all tenacious and ruthless.
âArenât those bodyguards?â
âSeems like the Chief is having a meal in this private room!â
âThe chief said that he wanted to meet an important guest. To be called an important guest, that person must be someone unusual!â
The students looked into the private room one after another. The people inside the room were ordering food, and the door was not closed, so they could see Wang Chao and his important guest inside the room.
âF*ck, why is Ling Jiu inside?â
