Chapter 838: Real! Bloody Lies! (Bonus Chapter!)
As expected!
Before long, a fleet of Alphard minivans pulled up outside the Dandelion headquarters building!
More than twenty burly men in suits and sunglasses piled out of each van!
A full thousand-plus people swarmed the building entrance, blocking it off completely!
Their momentum was overwhelming!
Just the sheer numbers created absolute suppression, surrounding the warehouse and shipping dock without a single gap!
Chen Lang swallowed hard, shrinking behind the crowd—only there could he find a shred of safety!
Chen Sheng, however, wore a dark scowl!
"Boom!"
With an explosive roar, a Spiritual Veil burst from his body like a raging azure inferno!
It smashed the steel access gate of the building into twisted scrap!
(ꐦ･᷅口･᷄) "Jiangnan! Get the hell out here!"
The roar echoed, shattering the building's glass windows!
Jiangnan walked out of the building holding a cup of Bobo milk tea, looking completely relaxed.
"Let me count... 231 windows. Each one's gotta cost at least a million or two, right? Plus the gate... oh ho?"
"Looks like I'll be raking in some serious pocket money again!"
Chen Sheng's forehead bulged with veins.
"Don't give me that useless crap! Did you steal my Chen Clan's Spiritual Veil cultivation method?"
"Hand it back right now! Or don't blame me for being rude!"
"If I can't touch you, Dandelion will be finished! I've got plenty of ways to make you miserable!"
Jiangnan looked furious, pointing a trembling finger at Chen Sheng's nose.
(๑•̀益•́)☛: "You thief!"
"You Chen Clan clearly stole the Spiritual Silk Garment I painstakingly researched!"
"Then you have the nerve to claim it's your ancestral legacy! This is blatant first strike, false accusation, stirring up trouble, and bloody lies!"
"You have no shame!"
The moment those words left his mouth, everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Luo Lan and Yu Qiao stared at Jiangnan in shock.
Huh? Is that how it is?
If we hadn't just watched you force a confession out of Chen Lang with torture, we'd have believed it!
Chen Sheng: Σ(Ŏ口Ŏ|||)?
Chen Lang: (´ﾟωﾟ)?
Who exactly has no shame here?
[From Chen Sheng: Resentment +1000!]
Did you just use every idiom you know?
The first to strike, false accusation—that's you, isn't it?
Chen Sheng's eyes widened. (ꐦ☉益☉ꐦ)
"Ridiculous! Everyone knows Spiritual Veil is my Chen Clan's secret art passed down for generations!"
"Learned from you? Where's your proof? This was developed by my ancestors!"
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"You say it's yours, so it is? Did your ancestor file a patent?"
Chen Sheng gritted his teeth. "File a patent? Hell no! The family history clearly records..."
Jiangnan pouted. (乛.̮乛｡) "I don't believe you. Show me the family history?"
Chen Sheng: (งᵒ̌益ᵒ̌)ง You damn...
[From Chen Sheng: Resentment +1000!]
Jiangnan: (๑¯ٹ¯ิ) "See? Can't argue, so you start cursing!"
"That just proves I hit a nerve—you're flustered!"
[From Chen Sheng...]
Chen Sheng's face turned green from anger. "Fine, fine, fine! You say the Chen Clan learned Spiritual Veil from you?"
"Then show evidence! Why do you claim..."
Before he could finish, "Boom!" Spiritual pressure blasted out like a gale, forcing people back several steps!
Jiangnan was now covered in a Spiritual Veil over a meter thick, like flames of liquid crystal.
-`༼(ง･᷅Д･᷄)ง༽´- Ha!
Chen Sheng: Σ(ﾉ)ﾟДﾟ(ヽ) Holy sh*t!
The crowd of lackeys: ━Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)━
This... this is impossible!
That bastard wasn't lying—it really is over a meter thick!
Is this really Spiritual Veil?
What the hell?
At that moment, Chen Sheng's face turned white. Even the ultimate cultivation of his clan's Spiritual Veil couldn't reach this level!
He was grinding their ancestors into the dust!
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow. (๑◔ٹ◔ิ)
"What? Still saying your Chen Clan didn't learn it from me? Keep lying!"
"I'm not even holding it against you, and you're still acting smug? What kind of person are you?"
Chen Sheng stammered, "No, that's not it! This... he... I!"
Jiangnan grinned brightly. "Fine, you learned it. But you didn't even grasp the essence—you've been training it wrong!"
"Look at your Spiritual Veil—thin as a vest, and you dare show it off?"
"My authentic Spiritual Veil is a full-down-parka, military-grade overcoat level!"
[From Chen Sheng: Resentment +1000!]
(ꐦಥ益ಥ) "You... you... you're talking nonsense! Aaaaah!"
"Stealing my Chen Clan's Spiritual Veil—the clan won't let this slide!"
"Today, I'll make you pay in blood! Get him! Destroy Dandelion!"
With that order, all the suited shades-dudes burst out with spiritual energy, rolling up their sleeves ready to charge.
But instead, the Dandelion members all turned pale, screaming and dropping to the ground, hugging their heads and trembling pitifully.
Luo Lan and Yu Qiao hid behind Jiangnan, looking terrified.
|☍﹏⁰) Hmm~
|･᷄~･᷅) Scared~
Chen Sheng: ???
What the hell? This is supposed to be an underground organization—they've seen every bloody scene imaginable!
How can they be this scared? They're not even resisting?
Surrendering before the fight even starts?
Before he could figure it out, army trucks roared up, screeching to a halt in front of the building.
Three thousand Dragon Abyss soldiers, fully armed and equipped, marched in perfect formation under the lead of Hong Long. They snapped to attention and saluted Jiangnan.
"Greetings, Senior Colonel Jiang!"
"Hong Long, captain of the Jingdu Dragon Abyss Base Battalion, reporting with three thousand elite Dragon Abyss soldiers!"
"Awaiting orders, at your command!"
Jiangnan grinned. "Surround them!"
Instantly, the Dragon Abyss troops surrounded Chen Sheng's men, sealing them in completely. Black muzzles pointed straight at them.
Hong Long roared, "Warning! I advise you not to resist!"
"Hands on heads, feet together, lie on the ground! Execute!"
At that moment, Chen Sheng's expression was indescribably ugly.
I just gave you the Hibernating Dragon Token this afternoon, and you use it tonight?
And higher-ups didn't stop it—they actually let the Dragon Abyss surround my Chen Clan?
Chen Sheng sneered. Just couldn't find an excuse to attack you. Just when I was about to sleep, someone hands me a pillow?
He shouted angrily, "On what grounds do you surround us? We haven't done anything illegal!"
"Just because you have a Dragon Token, you can abuse military power?"
"If I report you to the Military Department, Senior Colonel Jiangnan for abuse of authority, your commission will be over!"
Jiangnan said calmly, "Haven't done anything? You illegally gathered a crowd to cause trouble, threatened and intimidated ordinary citizens, disrupted public order, endangered urban safety!"
"Look at what you did to these little girls—you scared them to tears!"
He poked Luo Lan and Yu Qiao with a finger.
The sisters' eyes lit up, then they screwed up their faces and wailed.
|☍口⁰) Wahhh~
|˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ A bad guy wants to hit me—Qiaoqiao is so pitiful~
And not just them—many Dandelion girls hugged each other and cried. Girls' tears come so easily, right?
Such a pitiful sight~
Hong Long: (˵¯͒~¯͒˵) "Anything else to say? Please come with us for investigation."
Chen Sheng's eyes went red. So that's it!
You've been setting me up all along, Jiangnan!
"They're... they're all acting! I never bullied them!"
"And we didn't gather to cause trouble—we were just shopping! Yeah, shopping!"
Jiangnan pulled out his phone from his pocket, pulled up an audio file, and hit play.
The phone played Chen Sheng's voice.
"Today I'll make you pay in blood..."
At that moment, Chen Sheng's face was like he'd swallowed a fly.
[From Chen Sheng: Resentment +1000!]
A recording? You recorded in advance?
Goddammit! Can you be any more underhanded?
But before Chen Sheng could respond, Jiangnan's face went pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Σ(||ಠ3ಠ) Pfft~
"Sigh—this Chen Sheng's spiritual pressure is so strong. That blast just now gave me serious internal injuries. Pwah~"
The moment Jiangnan spat blood, a bunch of Dandelion members also started spitting blood.
Some even went pale and collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
Chen Sheng: ∑(°口°๑)???
"Actors! A whole bunch of actors! Damn it—'serious internal injuries'? I didn't even know I was that strong!"
"You're really 'spitting blood to frame me'!"
Hong Long had to pinch his thigh to keep from laughing. That Jiangnan brother is way too smooth!
But he kept a stone-cold face. "Anything else to say now?"
"A bunch of helpless little girls—and you could still lay hands on them! Scum!"
Chen Sheng was furious. "They're not innocent either!"
"Dandelion! An underground organization! No better! Why don't you arrest them?"
Hong Long didn't blink. "I know. But they're a legitimate underground organization—different nature."
During the Abyss War, Dandelion was a huge help. Why would we arrest them?
Besides, Dandelion provides free intelligence to military bases nationwide. Dragon Abyss can't get certain intel, but Dandelion, being underground, can. We've cooperated happily for a long time.
Chen Sheng: (๑ŏ口ŏ) Huh?
Legitimate underground organization?
What the hell?
At that moment, Luo Lan and Yu Qiao looked weak and said, "Boss Nanshen? Are we really legitimate?"
Jiangnan waved his hand. "Of course! I was even thinking about getting a business license or something..."
Yu Qiao was stunned. You can get a business license for this?
An underground organization can climb this high?
Chen Sheng was fuming, but with armed Dragon Abyss soldiers facing him, he couldn't resist—unless he wanted to be banned from Hua Xia forever.
"Jiangnan! Just you wait! You stole my Chen Clan's Spiritual Veil—the clan will definitely demand an explanation!"
"I'll take the loss today! But so what? They'll only lock me up for a few days! Wait till I get out!"
Jiangnan: (˵ಡ3ಡ)☛ "Also! They came in minivans!"
"Rated capacity: seven people. They stuffed 23 in each car! Severe overloading! Dangerous driving!"
"You should hold them longer and investigate thoroughly!"
Hong Long grinned. "At your command, sir!"
[From Chen Sheng: Resentment +1000!]
[From...]
You even police overloading? Aaaaaah!
(ꐦಥ口ಥ) "Jiangnan! I~%?…;#!"
