Chapter 1671: The Truth No Longer Matters
(՞ټ՞)“Heh～ I heard? Jiangnan just arrived at Mountain City recently, not only took over the territory of the Thug organization, but also slept with Hope's wife!”
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)“Huh? That's so bold? Offended both major powers of Mountain City in one go?”
(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛)“Not just that! He didn't just sleep with all of Hope's wives; he also slept with his subordinates' wives! Very thorough!”
(˃᷄ε˂᷅๑)“Pfft～ Isn't that catching everyone in one net? Pictures and proof. Now Hope is crazily hunting Jiangnan. Mountain City is about to change!”
Xiang Zhi, hidden in the dark, snickered wickedly, already eager to see Jiangnan's expression of being unable to explain himself!
Jiangnan was standing in the camp, wondering whether to check out what was up with that spatial fluctuation!
The grudges value that kept refreshing gave him a bad feeling!
Just then, Liu Mang rushed out in a panic!
(◕ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ“Boss Nan! A large number of people are surrounding us!”
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔～◔ิ)“Oh? What's going on? Is it the Thug organization?”
But before Jiangnan could check, booming sounds from afar came!
Along with Hope's furious roar!
(ꐦ｀益´)“Bastard! Got you! Think you can run? Think my Beetle Sense is for show?”
“Steel Strength • Golden Armor Cannon!”
Hope shot forward like a cannonball toward Jiangnan in the camp!
His arm became unusually thick, covered in dazzling golden carapace, brimming with unmatched power!
Zhong Yingxue and Shanmao, hearing the commotion, rushed out too!
The moment they came out, they saw a Six-Star Dao Heaven-tier beast transformation about to attack Jiangnan!
And it was a major move right off the bat?
What's going on?
Seeing Hope charging, Jiangnan wasn't panicked in the slightest!
Small scene, he could handle it!
“Mila!”
Mila and Lan, holding hands, instantly teleported in front of Jiangnan!
꒰ঌ(๑˘◡˘๑)໒꒱“Temporal Stasis Domain!”
Mila spread her light wings, forming a three-meter golden orb of light, looking holy like an angel!
Hope's fist smashed heavily into the light orb!
Boundless power erupted, sending chunks of earth flying and causing an arsenal explosion!
Amidst Qin Shou and the others' cries, the entire camp was leveled by Hope's enraged punch!
But Jiangnan, inside the light orb, was completely unharmed, not even a strand of hair displaced!
(๑‾᷄～‾᷅)“Hope? The boss of the Wild River Society? Did I offend you? Why are you attacking me?”
But Hope was already in a hysterical rage!
He tried pulling his fist out of the orb, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't free the trapped fist!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅ꐦ)“Did you offend me? I'll ~%?…;#*’☆! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!”
Hope spewed curses, completely bleeped out, spittle flying!
Lan puffed out her little cheeks: (◦`~´◦)“Don't you dare curse at Brother Jiangnan! Get lost!”
With that, she teleported beside Hope, her head glowing with a brilliant liuli hue!
“Spatial Ejection!”
A powerful ejection force burst forth. Before Hope could finish cursing, he was flung away by the expanding space!
The fist trapped in the light orb was torn off, blood spurting!
While ejecting Hope, Lan swiped her little hand, opening a ten-meter-wide spatial rift!
She was about to fling Hope in!
But Hope's innate danger sense made his blade wings vibrate fiercely, diverting his trajectory!
He avoided falling into the spatial rift but was flung who knows how far!
Hope threw off a concrete slab pressing on him!
“Aaaah! Die!”
“Limb Regeneration!”
His torn fist regrew in a few breaths, and he charged at Jiangnan again, heedless of consequences!
But this time, he didn't clash with the golden light orb. Instead, he controlled the golden carapace on his hand, forming two golden saw-blade long swords!
He slashed wildly at the orb, like a meat grinder!
The camp was already destroyed. Each slash sent fierce gusts of wind!
Even if the saw blades were stopped and torn by the orb, new ones grew instantly for more cuts!
While Hope attacked, the Wild River Society forces surrounded Jiangnan and everyone else!
Liu Ming and Hei Ya were shocked!
Shouldn't it be the Thug organization causing trouble? Why was the Wild River Society here?
And they started fighting like madmen?
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: (꒪ั～꒪ั*)“Do you have rabies? What did I do to deserve this?”
[From Hope: Grudges Value +1007!]
Hope was frantic:
(｀益´ꐦ)“What did you do? Do you need me to spell it out?”
“You slept with my wife! All of them! And now you're playing innocent? I'll hack you to death!”
At that, Jiangnan's eyes went wide!
∑(°口°๑)
Not only Jiangnan, but Zhong Yingxue and Shanmao were shocked too!
"(ºДº*)What?
Liu Mang's jaw dropped!
=͟͟͞͞(◕ò◊óﾉ)ﾉ“Th-this fast? Cheating already? Four?”
Beside him, Gu Gua was grief-stricken:
(:･´༎ຶ益༎ຶ`)“Four? Not just four! Two of mine were included too!”
“Even both hands couldn't count them all!”
Liu Mang was stunned: Σ(っ◕°Д°)っ
“Boss Nan? You... you went that hard?”
Jiangnan glared: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง“Bullshit! Don't slander me! With your ugly mug, what kind of good-looking wife could you marry?”
“I wouldn't even touch them if they were free! Xuexue, Wolfbane, Shanmao! Don't believe his nonsense!”
“Conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy!”
Zhong Yingxue and the others rolled their eyes. Did they believe that? After all this time, they had that much trust.
Besides, Jiangnan had been in the meeting room studying data. Zhong Yingxue was right beside him!
He never left her sight!
How could he go hook up with someone else's wife?
Hope was furious: Not only did he cuckold him, but he also insulted his looks?
If he thought his wife was ugly, why did he sleep with her?
“Now you're afraid of your wife finding out? Playing the righteous man? You weren't saying that when you were cuckolding me!”
“How many space-types are there in this world? Who else but you can use Spatial Barrier and Teleport?”
“It's you! Man up and admit it! Are you even a man?”
Jiangnan suddenly remembered the spatial fluctuation earlier!
Crap!
Was he being framed?
Gu Gua was also fuming:
(:･꒦ິ益꒦ີ)“Not admitting it? Today I'll ruin your reputation!”
“Jiangnan's wife! Look! Pictures and proof! Your man is a scumbag who sleeps with others' wives and destroys families!”
With that, he pulled out his phone, showing the scene he captured at the hotel!
The image was so spicy it was hard to look at!
Jiangnan was equally stunned!
(๑ʘ̅дʘ̅๑)Crap!
It really looked like him? The battle scene was too intense!
He had gotten someone cuckolded without knowing it?
Nice!
But at that moment, Zhong Yingxue blushed and fidgeted with her fingers:
(๑ớ◡ờ)“You... you're talking nonsense!”
Shanmao looked away awkwardly, her cheeks slightly red:
(︶～︶⑉)“D-don't show me that. I'm not Jiangnan's wife!”
Xia Yao was excited, giving Gu Gua a thumbs-up!
(≖ᴗ≖๑)“Eh～ This little lackey talks pretty well! I like it! Remember to give him extra chicken legs!”
Gu Gua: (‾◡◝:･)???
Do you people have some kind of mental illness?
Was “Jiangnan's wife” the key point here?
I've given you solid proof! And you're not angry?
Your man was out cheating on you!
But Xia Yao was leaning on her chin, admiring the picture!
(͡°ก͡°)✧“Gotta admit, it really does look like him. Oh-ho～ Even the details are spot on? Impressive!”
(˵ಡ.̫ಡ)“Giggle～ Little Nan! Could it really be you?”
She said with a mischievous smile at Jiangnan!
How could Xia Yao believe it? Even if she saw it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe it!
After all, Little Nan has always had the thief's heart but not the thief's guts. He's the kind of guy who helps a drunk me back to her room, changes me into pajamas, tucks me in, and then goes to cultivate!
How could he go cheat with some random girl?
Yeah right!
Someone probably shape-shifted into Jiangnan to trash his reputation and pull aggro!
Jiangnan's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)“If there's such a good thing next time, just call me directly. Why bother with all this effort?”
Hope was furious: “What? You want another chance? I'll tear you apart today!”
He kept attacking the golden orb wildly, completely consumed by rage!
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭“Hey hey! Don't let yourself be used as a weapon! It wasn't me who slept with your wife. Someone else shape-shifted into me!”
“They're just trying to frame me and pull your hate!”
Hope's eyes were murderous: “Then what about the Spatial Barrier and Teleport?”
“Don't make excuses! It was you! You think I'll believe your explanation?”
“You have to pay for this, one way or another!”
Jiangnan sneered: “How would I know what's going on? You should ask him!”
“As the boss of the Wild River Society, you can't be that brainless, can you?”
Hope's face was red, his killing intent unabated!
“The truth no longer matters! The truth is you slept with my wife! And you'll pay the price!”
Even if someone framed Jiangnan, and he wasn't the real cuckolder,
So what? Should he just let it go?
Now the whole city knew Jiangnan had cuckolded him. If he backed off, he'd lose face!
How could he lead his organization? Would he still have any standing in Mountain City?
Could Hope have figured it out? Of course he could!
But from the moment he kicked open that door, it was already water under the bridge!
True or false, Jiangnan sleeping with his wife was now a fact. He had to have his reckoning!
He needed to assert himself and vent this fury!
