# Chapter 1016: Drink This Glass of Wine! Still Good Friends! (Bonus Chapter)

Jiang Nan kept clapping vigorously, looking at Chen Daoyi with adoring little eyes!
(ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
"Daddy, daddy, you're amazing! You've gotta go toe-to-toe with him!"

Chen Daoyi, encouraged by the praise, got even more fired up!
(◞¯ิㅂ¯ิ◟) "Of course! Don't you know who your dad is? Myriad Manifestations!"

In an instant, countless green plants burst forth from the ground for ten thousand meters in every direction!
Thick tree vines coiled like horned dragons, wrapping around the buildings and crushing them to rubble!
Vines lashed everywhere, smashing the streets to pieces. The entire underground city seemed to tremble!
Debris kept falling from the ceiling—the destructive power of a Dao Heaven rank expert was on full display!

Zhang San was dumbfounded. Chen Daoyi had only heard a few words from him, and now he was being used as a gun?
Wasn't this a bit too much destruction?

Jiang Nan was overjoyed. With Chen Daoyi causing such a ruckus here, there was no way Pepper could still be "waiting for the rabbit to jump" in the Brahma Palace!

Sure enough, as soon as the commotion started, it immediately attracted a large number of Plantoids who gathered over!
Even Star Glory Wei and Death's Silence Kaori were alarmed and quickly rushed over!

Seeing the raging Chen Daoyi, they were both frantic!

Star Glory Wei: "Senior Chen! Calm down, you need to calm down. Quickly withdraw your divine power! If you keep this up, it'll be really hard for us to handle things!"

Kaori dodged a falling boulder: "The chairman is really on his way. Please wait a little longer, he..."

Chen Daoyi roared furiously: "Wait my ass! You told me the same thing a day ago! What do you take me for?"

Even as he spoke, his actions did pause!

Jiang the Trapmaker quickly chimed in: "Cheating my dad, an old man—don't your consciences hurt?"
"Daddy has laid down the law today: if Pepper won't come out, we'll keep demolishing!"
"Anyone who tries to stop us, we'll kill! Throwing your weight around at the Chen family? You think you're tough?"

Chen Daoyi: (٥・᷄ㅂ・᷅) ???
I... I never said that! Don't put words in my mouth!
Demolishing this much should be enough as a warning, right?
We have to keep demolishing?

But since his own son had already said it, he had no choice but to continue!

Just as the vines that had paused began stirring again!

Kaori's forehead beaded with sweat: "I'll go call the chairman right now! I'll definitely bring him here!"

With that, she bolted straight for the steel tower!

Star Glory Wei shouted anxiously: "Stop! Don't be impulsive! Impulse is the devil!"

Jiang the Trapmaker glared: "You think you can just say stop and I'll listen? Then wouldn't my dad lose face?"

Chen Daoyi: !!!
(˃᷄益ᵒ̌٥) Tch~
He kept shooting Jiang the Trapmaker meaningful looks!
That's enough! They're giving us an out—take it!
You're blocking every chance I get!
Can you stop keeping me on the hook?

Helpless, Chen Daoyi had no choice but to keep demolishing!

Meanwhile, Pony Tail Wei heard the commotion and rushed over from the West District. Seeing the rampaging Chen Daoyi, her face darkened!
"Damn it!"

Corgi pushed through the crowd and came to Pony Tail Wei's side!
Looking at Chen An, who was standing there constantly urging Chen Daoyi to tear down more buildings, Corgi's head buzzed and his eyes turned red!
Wasn't it agreed that Sister Wei would accompany him, and then he'd say nice things to Chen Daoyi to buy time?
Now not only had he not said anything good, he'd poured fuel on the fire!

Seeing Pony Tail Wei's gloomy face beside him, Corgi completely lost it!
She had to put up with him for nothing? And now he turns around and ignores the deal?
Looking at Chen An's smug, annoying grin, Corgi went berserk!

"Chen An! You cheating bastard! Trash An! Lying bitch! I, Corgi, will never rest until you're dead!"
"You just wait for me! Wuwu~ You're not even human!"

Pony Tail Wei was stunned. Why was Corgi so angry?
What the hell was "cheating bastard"?

"Keep... keep your voice down! The cooperation hasn't even been discussed yet! Don't tear the mask off!"

Corgi wiped his tears and looked at Pony Tail Wei with heartache!
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄ᴥ˂̣̣̥᷅) "You must be really hurt, right, Sister Wei? Don't worry! No matter what, I'll avenge you!"
"Make this promise-breaking cheating bastard pay the price!"

Pony Tail Wei: ???
Why would I be hurt? What are you even talking about?
What does this have to do with me?
Shouldn't it be that fat pig who's the one with a headache?

"Shut up! You don't get to speak here!"

Corgi closed his mouth resentfully, but the murderous intent in his eyes as he stared at Chen An was real!

Jiang the Trapmaker chuckled gleefully. The one who cheated was Chen An, nothing to do with me, Jiang the Trapmaker!
If you want to kill someone, go kill Chen An!

Chen Daoyi was still demolishing, and the surroundings were already a pile of ruins!

Just then, at the steel tower, Pepper's obese figure finally emerged from the shaft elevator!
Looking at the enraged Chen Daoyi, his face was full of gloom!
The Blood Vine was about to break through, and this old man pulls this stunt? Wasn't he just wasting time?

"Stop! Brother Chen, what is the meaning of this?"

Chen Daoyi narrowed his eyes: "What do you think it means? You call me over but won't even show your face? Do you have any respect for me?"
"Now! Can we talk?"

Two veins bulged on Pepper's forehead, and he barely suppressed his fury!
"Follow me!"

With that, he headed straight for the Gordon Building!
Everyone followed behind. Jiang the Trapmaker's spirits soared!
Finally, he'd lured Pepper out. There was no longer any threat in the Brahma Palace!
He could enter anytime!
But it wasn't time yet!

Everyone arrived at the meeting hall of the Gordon Building and took their seats!
All the high-ranking members of the Brahma Society's underground city had gathered—after all, receiving Chen Daoyi required a certain level of prestige!
There was hardly anyone below Platinum rank in the room!

But the Brahma Society side didn't look happy, and Pepper's face was especially gloomy!

"Brother Chen really went all out. This underground city took a lot of effort and money to build!"
"You demolished it just like that? And so much of it? Isn't that going a bit too far?"

The corner of Chen Daoyi's mouth twitched. His heart was a bit guilty—he really had gone overboard!
But he couldn't lose face, so he still said stubbornly: "You left me hanging first. I'm just returning the favor!"

Jiang the Trapmaker sat at the table, his big eyes rolling around nonstop!
With all the Brahma Society's high-ranking officials gathered here, if I don't take advantage of this opportunity, I'd be letting myself down!

Just then, a group of shabbily dressed young women pushed in a dining cart!
Plate after plate of delicacies were set on the table, and each person's glass was filled with Diamond whiskey!

Jiang Nan's smile gradually turned sinister!

At this moment, Zhang San, wearing a thick gold chain around his neck, was strolling around the meeting room with his hands behind his back!

Jiang Nan's gaze locked onto Zhang San instantly, and he called out through the mental link in his mind!

"@Third Brother! Come here! I've got a job for you!"

Zhang San's eyes lit up, and he walked behind Jiang Nan!
"Oh? What mischief are you up to this time? I'm your man!"

Jiang Nan: !!!
Are you this brazen? They're having a meeting here! Don't discuss your plans in front of the enemy!

But apparently, besides himself, no one in the room noticed Zhang San!

Jiang Nan reached his hand under the table, and a bag of Detoxifying Soybeans silently fell to the ground!
"Spike their drinks! We'll make our exit later!"

Zhang San chuckled, picking up the bag of soybeans from under the table!
"Don't worry! Leave it to me! I guarantee the job will be done! I'm an expert at poisoning!"

With that, he went to Chen Daoyi's side, pinched a pinch of soybeans into powder, and in full view of Chen Daoyi, dropped the soybean powder into his glass!
(๑◔ε◔ิ๑)つ‧̣̥̇

Then, "Huck~ ptooey!"
(๑΄◞ิз◟ิ‵) Spit~ ¯ิ

A glob of thick phlegm landed precisely in the glass, floating on the surface of the wine!

Jiang Nan: ???
You... will that work?
The merciless human phlegm machine was back in action?

But that wasn't all. Zhang San dug around in his nose for a while, rolled it into a little ball, and flicked it into the glass!
•~ก(ー̀ωー́ก)

Feeling that was too conspicuous, he used his pinky finger—the one he'd been picking his nose with—to stir it into the glass, mixing everything evenly!

Jiang Nan watched, shuddering!
With that kind of composition, even without the soybeans, whoever drank it would probably get diarrhea!
I can only say, as expected of you!
Truly an outlaw!

Zhang San began repeating the above operations infinitely, managing to spike every single glass in the meeting room!
Without anyone noticing!

Jiang Nan was ecstatic. Let's see how you catch me now!
This was much safer than using Space Wormholes to spike the drinks himself!

With so many big shots in the room, Jiang Nan wouldn't dare do anything reckless!

But he waited and waited—no one at the table touched their wine!

Pepper and Chen Daoyi had already broken into an argument over what just happened!

Chen Daoyi cursed: "I just tore down your crappy pigsty! What, you're going to get bent out of shape?"
"What of it? What are you going to do about it?"

Pepper's eyes were bloodshot: "Say that again? Whose place is a crappy pigsty? I just asked you to pay some compensation—what's wrong with that?"
"You aristocrats think you're better than everyone else? You still need me to deal with Jiang Nan!"

Jiang Nan grew anxious. If they kept arguing like this, it would never end. Just argue, don't drink!
If nobody drinks, all my work is for nothing!

Chen Daoyi was about to speak again when Jiang the Trapmaker suddenly slapped the table!
(・᷅口・᷄)ノΣ┬──┬

"Enough arguing!"

The sharp sound made both Chen Daoyi and Pepper freeze. The entire meeting room went silent!

Jiang the Trapmaker stood up!
"Let me say a few words! What my dad did was indeed a bit excessive, but didn't his ultimate goal come down to reaching a cooperation quickly?"
"And Senior Pig God! Since you initiated the cooperation, we traveled thousands of miles to get here, and you left us waiting for over a day—that's really inappropriate!"
"Both sides are at fault! Let's stop arguing about who's right and wrong!"

At these words, both sides fell silent!

Jiang the Trapmaker raised his glass!
"Since we all want to cooperate, let all the past unpleasantness be blown away by the wind!"
"This glass of wine is our Chen family's apology wine, and also an opening wine to wish for a smooth cooperation!"
"Everyone raise a glass, how about it? We'll talk about the cooperation details after!"

Chen Daoyi looked at Chen An, a strange light in his eyes!
When did my eldest son become so bold?
Those words were on point!

He also stood up, raising his glass toward Pepper!

Pepper's gaze flickered, still carrying gloom on his face!

Jiang the Trapmaker frowned: "What? Senior Pig God doesn't intend to drink? Does that mean you have no intention of cooperating with the Chen family?"
"Did you just call us here to mess with us?"

Pepper took a deep breath, then grinned: "My nephew has a point! Come! Everyone raise a glass!"

As Pepper stood and raised his glass, all the Brahma Society members in the meeting room followed suit!
Since the boss was toasting, they had to follow!

Jiang the Trapmaker's face broke into a brilliant smile!
"Come! Let's all drink this glass of wine together! We're still good friends!"
"Cheers!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Cheers!"
