Divine King of Honour

Chapter 157 Ate Fly Poop

"Who is making such a racket here?"

Shortly after Chen Wudi's voice had fallen, a commanding voice rang out, followed by a young man dressed in a Three-star Battle Robe from the Battle Mansion emerging from the Tianhua Restaurant.

"Ding Hao, he really came down." The crowd around instantly recognized the man and were all surprised.

Upon seeing Ding Hao descend, Li Yuan's face also broke into a smile, and he hurried forward to greet him, "Senior Ding, that Black Scorching Meteorite Iron you were looking for last time, I've found it for you, and I'll give it to you now."

After speaking, Li Yuan took out a black stone the size of a chicken egg from his storage ring.

"Ha-ha, it turns out to be you, Li Yuan, it's been many days since I've seen you. You're being too polite to me, we are brothers, come, join me upstairs. We won't return until we are drunk today." Ding Hao took the black stone and laughed heartily.

Hearing Ding Hao's words, Li Yuan immediately showed a proud smile on his face.

The crowd around also secretly sighed in their hearts, just from Ding Hao's words, it was clear that the relationship between Li Yuan and Ding Hao was exceptionally good.

Given this, their looks towards Xu Nian and Chen Wudi also turned sympathetic.

"Senior Ding, we probably have to wait a bit for the drinks, there's a small matter here that needs attention," Li Yuan spoke up.

"We are brothers, what trouble is there to speak of? Say it, whatever it is, as long as I can handle it, I will certainly help you," Ding Hao laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was overjoyed and hastily said, "It's not a big deal, for senior, it's a trivial matter. We encountered two ruffians, they are also guests invited to your banquet, but they were rude and unreasonable, they not only struck me but also humiliated me in public, I want to ask Senior Ding to kick these two out and not allow them to attend the banquet."

"Rebellion! Daring to strike a member of my battle team, hmph, simply kicking them out of the banquet won't suffice, I want to see who dares to bully my brother, I must break his legs today." Ding Hao immediately exclaimed upon hearing Li Yuan's words.

The crowd around felt a shudder in their hearts.

It's over!

These two were not only likely to be kicked out of the banquet today but would probably suffer even more.

Li Yuan too showed a wildly happy look, then immediately, proudly pointing at Xu Nian and Chen Wudi who stood in the crowd, told Ding Hao, "Senior Ding, it's them. One is a Two-star member of the Battle Mansion, and the other is said to be his younger brother. These two are outrageously arrogant. Just now, it was his younger brother who told you to roll down, that fat man."

"Even a Two-star member dares to be so arrogant, could it be they're tired of living? I want to see who in Tianfeng City dares to disrespect me, Ding Hao," Ding Hao coldly huffed, then glanced towards Xu Nian.

First, when he saw Xu Nian, his face was still filled with disdain, but when he saw Xu Nian's so-called younger brother, his expression suddenly changed.

"You... who are you?" Ding Hao asked uncertainly.

This scene made the surrounding crowd bewildered. Could it be that Ding Hao actually knew this fat young man?

Seeing Ding Hao look over, Chen Wudi this time coldly smiled and said to Ding Hao, "Mr. Ding sure carries great authority. It's been only four years since we last met, has Tianfeng City already become the domain of Ding Hao?"

Since his cultivation was destroyed, Chen Wudi had kept a low profile for a long time and had not seen Ding Hao again.

Now, four years later, the formerly thin Chen Wudi had turned into a fat man, so Ding Hao hadn't recognized him as Chen Wudi earlier.

But when he closely examined him, he realized that the man in front of him was none other than the only son of the Lord Governor, the main character invited to this banquet, Chen Wudi.

This realization instantly overwhelmed Ding Hao.

Even though the Ding family was powerful, they ultimately couldn't compete with the Governor Mansion.

Back then, his fawning over Chen Wudi was partly due to Chen Wudi's strength, and partly due to the influence of the Governor Mansion.

These years his pursuit of Chen Yao was similarly motivated by coveting the power of the Governor Mansion.

Today, he had set up this banquet partly to woo Chen Yao, and partly to reconcile with Chen Wudi.

If he could gain Chen Wudi's support, not only would his pursuit of Chen Yao be smoother, but the position of his Ding Family in East Field County would also be much more stable.

But Chen Wudi hadn't even entered the door yet and had been offended by his own companion.

This drastically reduced Ding Hao's fondness for Li Yuan.

"Senior Ding, this fat man is extremely arrogant. You must properly teach him a lesson today. I had previously made a bet with him, if I could get you to send them away, they must kneel and kowtow to me three times," Li Yuan chuckled.

"Fuck your apology!"

However, before Li Yuan's words could fall, Ding Hao swiftly backhanded him with a slap, striking Li Yuan across the face.

Li Yuan was sent flying instantly, his teeth knocked loose, blood spraying from his mouth.

The surrounding crowd froze.

What was happening?

Wasn't Li Yuan Ding Hao's brother? Why was Ding Hao hitting him?

Li Yuan was utterly baffled, covering his mouth, a look of confusion directed at Ding Hao.

Chen Wudi and Xu Nian exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with mockery.

"Senior Ding, why are you hitting me? You should be hitting them!" Li Yuan roared in dismay.

"Hit, hit, hit your granny! Do you know who he is? He's the son of the Lord Governor, the host of tonight's banquet that I invited. Are you asking me to throw him out? Is this banquet held for you?" Ding Hao shouted angrily.

Li Yuan was simply too foolish; he couldn't see the situation clearly even now.

He could be brothers with Li Yuan, but only if Li Yuan didn't stand in his way. However, Li Yuan now severely obstructed his objectives, so he had to take the necessary stance to show Chen Wudi.

Once Ding Hao said this, the entire room was completely stunned, looking at Chen Wudi in shock.

Li Yuan was totally bewildered, his mind buzzing, his body going limp on the floor.

He had actually offended the son of the Lord Governor—this was suicide!

"Apologize to Mr. Chen immediately," Ding Hao demanded.

Li Yuan quickly came to and crawled in front of Chen Wudi, knocking his head several times, pleading as he did, "Mr. Chen, spare my life, I was blind not to recognize Taishan, I've offended you, please don't take offense."

"Really? I think I better not attend this banquet, lest others say I, Chen Wudi, abuse my power," Chen Wudi said innocently and then turned to leave.

"Mr. Chen, oh no, Grandpa Chen, you really can't leave!" Li Yuan's face darkened in despair, a surge of frustration almost making him vomit blood, as he hastily clung to Chen Wudi's legs.

Ding Hao also looked desperate, fearing Chen Wudi might actually leave.

Of course, Chen Wudi was just putting on an act to scare Li Yuan.

"You want my forgiveness? I can give that; I'm always very magnanimous. However, it seems you've forgotten, you didn't offend me, you offended my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law has a nasty temper, why don't you beg him, see if he forgives you?" Chen Wudi blinked his eyes as he spoke.

Everyone around felt speechless. Had they not witnessed Chen Wudi's arrogant demeanor earlier, they might have been truly deceived by his innocent act.

Li Yuan was also massively frustrated, finding the man in front of him utterly contemptible.

Wait!

Suddenly, everyone around, including Li Yuan, turned their heads to look at Xu Nian.

Wasn't he the elder brother?

Why did he suddenly become the brother-in-law?

If Chen Wudi is the son of the Lord Governor, and Xu Nian is Chen Wudi's brother-in-law, then that must mean—

At that moment, including Li Yuan, everyone turned their heads again to look at Ding Hao.

Everyone in the city knew about Ding Hao's pursuit of Chen Yao. Now that Chen Wudi was calling someone else brother-in-law, what did that imply?

At that moment, Ding Hao's face turned completely dark. He had done so much to please Chen Wudi, all to better pursue Chen Yao.

But now that Chen Wudi was calling another man brother-in-law, all his efforts might have been in vain.

This left Ding Hao with a feeling akin to having swallowed fly shit.
