Chapter 15: An Invitation from the Imperial Hall!

    

out! Otherwise, I’ll tear this place down right now!" The cigarette-chewing man took a deep breath and shouted loudly.It was lunchtime, so none of the site supervisors were present. This gave the ciga...Chapter Fifteen: An Invitation from the Emperor's Hall!

King Zheng shrugged and said, "I never expected that your capitol noblemen are so ruthless! They break others' legs because of jealousy. I'm truly scared!"

Qiang Dongfeng glared fiercely and said, "No one can stop me from doing what I want to do. If you continue to be stubborn like this, beware that I might sell your parents into Indonesia as laborers."

This powerful young man and Zhang Mingquan both had a common trait: when arguing or fighting, they always liked to threaten others by mentioning their parents. Although King Zheng had never met his own biological parents before, it was still unacceptable for someone to insult them like that.

It wasn't serious if they cursed him, but if they involved his family members and parents, then he would cross a red line set by Big Bodyguard Wang.

At this moment, he had already decided firmly that the Zero Point Entertainment City no longer needed to exist.

If the son of the boss was like this, then there must be serious issues with how clean or dirty the entertainment city was.

"What a ruthless guy."

After saying so, King Zheng narrowed his eyes and turned around to ask Sheng Fei and the other three beautiful ladies, "Are you afraid of seeing blood Do you faint at the sight of it"

The moment Wang Zheng said this, the three of them knew that he was about to take action. Sheng Fei felt a little worried in her heart, while Shangguan Shishu had some anticipation.

Han Xinye was looking for trouble and said, "Of course we don't faint! Otherwise, wouldn’t we be falling over every day in the bathroom"

King Zheng also found Han Xinye's words amusing and nodded his head while saying, "Alright then. If you're afraid, just close your eyes."

Before Qiang Dongfeng could react to what was happening, Wang Zheng had already moved like lightning; he grabbed Qiang Dongfeng’s right hand with an iron grip and pressed it onto the table, while his other hand raised a sharp blade from above. The knife's edge sliced through Qiang Dongfeng's finger bones precisely, nailing his right hand brutally to the dining table!

Before Qiang Dongfeng could even scream out loud, Wang Zheng had already stuffed a napkin into his mouth.

The pain in one’s fingertips was exquisitly sensitive; Wang Zheng looked at Qiang Dongfeng's face distorted by the intense pain and said disdainfully, "Don't talk to me about revenge later. If I have any grudges against you, I usually settle them right on the spot."

Wang Zheng coldly swept his gaze over the other three young noblemen who wanted to call for help or cause a scene by shouting loudly here and said, "If you dare to make phone calls for backup or create disturbances like yelling in this place, you'll all suffer the same fate."

Xu Yeming had long been terrified. These young noblemen were all bullies who feared nothing but strength; they often bullied others at will due to their power and influence, but today, they unexpectedly encountered such a ruthless character!

It was just a verbal spat, but this ruthless person picked up a knife and nailed someone's hand to the table!

When threatened by Wang Zheng, these young masters were at a loss as to what to do, standing there dumbfounded.

"Awesome! Truly exhilarating!" As expected of a descendant from a military family, Han Xinye was not intimidated by such a scene; instead, her face was full of admiration: "Wang Zheng, I find following you incredibly thrilling!"

Qiang Dongfeng was groaning softly, his face covered in cold sweat, but his eyes were filled with increasing hatred!

Wang Zheng patted his face and said, "Don't look at me like that. Do you believe I could cut out your tongue right now for insulting my parents"

Qiang Dongfeng continued to glare at Wang Zheng hatefully, as if trying to imprint his image in his mind.

The other people in the hall were eating and drinking merrily; no one noticed what was happening here.

The waiter had been frightened into a stupor by what happened and didn't know how to proceed.

At this moment, a manager-like man hurriedly arrived at their table. Ignoring the bloody sight of Qiang Dongfeng's hand nailed to the table, he directly addressed Wang Zheng: "Mr. Wang Zheng, there is a gentleman in the Emperor Hall who wishes to see you and has already paid for your meal."

"The Emperor Hall!"

Han Xinye exclaimed with her mouth wide open: "That's the exclusive suite for leaders from various countries when they dine at Quanjude! Even my father isn't allowed to eat there casually!"

“Wang Zheng, you’re so impressive; I didn’t know you were acquainted with national leaders!”

"Oh You’ve been hiding such a deep secret! Your kind exterior fooled me completely!" Han Xinye chattered nonstop.

Shangguan Shishi snorted: "He's just a liar."

Sheng Fei seemed to be pondering something, remaining silent.

Han Xinye said, “Can we follow you in I’ve never been inside the Emperor Hall before!”

The manager hesitated and replied, "I'm afraid that won't be possible. That gentleman invited only Mr. Wang Zheng."

Sheng Fei said, "Little Night, don't be naughty. The Emperor's Hall isn't somewhere one can just enter隨便進入.

Han Xingye immediately quieted down upon hearing this; as someone born into a military family, she was very clear about the strict hierarchy in China’s official circles and knew that it was absolutely unacceptable to overstep one's bounds.

Wang Zheng said to the three women, "It might not be appropriate for you all to go inside. Just wait here for me."

"Furthermore," the head manager continued addressing Qiang Dongfeng: "Mr. Qiang, the customer in the Emperor's Hall has asked you and your friends to leave this establishment; otherwise, he cannot guarantee that nothing unpleasant will happen at Zero Point Entertainment City tonight."零點娛樂城今晚會不會發生什麼不愉快的事件.

This was a threat! A naked threat!

One could run away with the monk but not the temple. Qiang Dongfeng, you think you’re tough Your business is all at Zero Point Entertainment City, so I’ll use that immovable property to threaten you—what are you going to do about it And it’s a threat from someone in the Emperor's Hall!

Qiang Dongfeng knew he had hit a wall today. The person speaking on behalf of the Emperor's Hall must be of extraordinary status, and there was no way for him to reverse the situation anytime soon. However, Qiang Dongfeng was different from ordinary second-generation rich kids; not only was he ruthless, but also very tough—despite feeling excruciating pain, he gritted his teeth and forcefully pulled out the dagger with his left hand!

A bloody streak appeared with the knife! The powerful tearing sensation almost made Qiang Dongfeng pass out from the pain.

But it didn’t hurt as much now. As Qiang Dongfeng looked at Wang Zheng, he said viciously, "Fine, I’ll wait for you."

Wang Zheng watched Qiang Dongfeng leave and remarked, “A formidable character, but we need to eliminate him sooner rather than later.”

Wang Zheng understood that someone ruthless like Qiang Dongfeng was not to be antagonized. Once an enmity formed, it would never dissolve. But Wang the bodyguard wasn’t afraid of retaliation from this powerful young man; he didn't think highly of himself but had incredible confidence in his abilities.

Upon entering the luxurious Emperor's Hall, Wang Zheng immediately spotted Li Minghao sitting across from him at a round table.

After stepping inside, Wang Zheng stopped and looked at this man who controlled Beijing’s underworld.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall with short hair and eyes like lightning, he had an intimidating presence that felt piercing to the soul.

"Captain, you finally decided to return."

Li Minghao's throat convulsed a few times but no words came out; instead, he snapped to attention啪的一個立正 and sharply brought his right hand up to his brow狠狠劃到眉毛處!

A standard military salute of the People's Republic of China共和國標準軍禮!

"Captain, Night Wolf reporting!"

Wang Zheng was about to raise his hand as a gesture of acknowledgment but then lowered it. This action, which he had practiced countless times and almost become second nature to him, he hadn't performed in four years; now it felt unfamiliar.

Gazing at Li Minghao, recalling the brother who fought alongside him and emerged from the chaos of war together, Wang Zheng's eyes grew hazy.

If not for his impulsive actions back then, he probably wouldn't be in this situation now, with his military rank much higher than it was.

Yet...

"We're no longer soldiers. There's no need to salute each other," Wang Zheng shook his head and forcefully pushed the past memories out of his mind, then sat down opposite Li Minghao, leaning on a chair for support.

Li Minghao wiped away the moisture from his wet eyes and smiled: "Captain, you still take good care of yourself. At twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, you look like just graduated from university, but I'm already thirty and look as though I'm in my forties."

Wang Zheng chuckled: "In the past, I told all of you to take better care of yourselves but nobody listened to me. It's not too late for regret now."

Li Minghao didn't respond to this remark; his eyes brimming with tears, he smiled and said: "Captain, it's great that you've finally returned. This is really good."

"This feeling is akin to... walking alone at night when suddenly meeting a loved one, never feeling lonely again."

Wang Zheng remained silent, quietly staring at Li Minghao—the man three years his senior who still called him captain, the person who rose from being a hired thug and eventually became the emperor of Beijing's underworld.

"Over these past four years, every time I thought about giving up, I thought about you all," Li Minghao began recounting their shared history. "What kept me going was our friendship and the hatred for that family who forced us, members of the Dragon Scale Special Forces, to this desperate situation."

"I must keep fighting on. I want revenge for the Dragon Scale, and I intend to restore 'Zheng Qiang Hao Sheng's' reputation!" Li Minghao suppressed his voice but couldn't hide his intense emotions.

"Since that incident, you left for foreign lands while I hid in Beijing's underground world by night. Qianzi was so disappointed that he lost hope; I sent people to look everywhere for news of him, yet there has been no word. As for Old Sheng...

...he's forever left on that piece of land and can never return."

Wang Zheng's eyes narrowed: "That was a pure frame-up aimed at the Dragon Scale. Old Sheng being the oldest, he covered for us when we had to retreat; in the end, he took an entire burst of bullets meant for me."

Even as his eyes were narrowed, they still looked bloodshot.

"Captain, after that year, you left for foreign lands. The whole dark world of Earth knows about a killer with the codename 'Eastern Evil King' starting his path to fame and glory." issues arise, we immediately activate emergency protocols. This seems to be our only option for now.""Alright, this is all we can do then." He Yan sighed: "I'll follow your advice. I really fear that...
