Chapter 139: Thrown Out

Seeing all the girls from Weiliang Company looking at Jiang Xincheng with hopeful eyes, Zhao Guang was stunned for a moment. Then he pointed at Jiang Xincheng and laughed loudly. “You actually want to rely on this rookie Primordial Warrior to help you? Haha, do you have any brains at all? He looks like a novice student member who just started out. Even for such a simple quest, he brought along a bunch of babysitters. He isn’t even independent yet, and you still expect him to help you?”

After saying that, Zhao Guang pointed toward the door and said to Jiang Xincheng, “Get out. I’ve given you quite a lesson today. Next time you encounter this kind of situation, you should know what to do. No need to thank me. Go now, don’t delay me from doing my quest.”

“Mr. Jiang is also a Leader of Ten. You probably don’t have the authority to give him orders.” As soon as Zhao Guang finished speaking, Wei Wan looked at Jiang Xincheng and said softly.

Zhao Guang’s expression changed. He stared at Jiang Xincheng and said, “You are a Leader of Ten? Not just a new Elite Soldier who just joined the Flourishing Tang Empire?”

Jiang Xincheng nodded. He glanced at Wei Wan, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The reason he had allowed Zhao Guang, this arrogant rich second-generation, to perform for so long was because Jiang Xincheng had his own plan.

Through contrast, the employees of Weiliang Company would realize how gentle he had been to them. With Zhao Guang, this big villain, as a foil, it undoubtedly highlighted Jiang Xincheng’s merciful nature even more, which would also benefit what he planned to do next.

So after just a brief thought, Jiang Xincheng let Zhao Guang continue his performance, intending to step in at the critical moment. Not only would he teach Zhao Guang, this reckless rich second-generation, a lesson, but he would also win the hearts of the girls from Weiliang Company and achieve his own goal.

And now, it was time for him to appear.

“You… you are actually a Leader of Ten too? I spent several years starting from One-Star Quests, putting in so much time and effort before finally getting promoted to Leader of Ten. How old are you? Not even twenty, right? How could you possibly be a Leader of Ten as well?” Zhao Guang looked at Jiang Xincheng in disbelief. “Impossible! Show me your Ten-Leader Token. I want to check it myself to see if you’re lying to me.”

Jiang Xincheng raised his eyebrows. “It took you so many years to become a Leader of Ten? You really are trash.”

“What did you say?” Zhao Guang widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Xincheng as if he hadn’t quite grasped what was said.

Jiang Xincheng sneered coldly and said, word by word, “I said, it took you so long to become a Leader of Ten—you really are trash. I just joined the Flourishing Tang Empire a few months ago, and yet a few months later, I am already a Leader of Ten. I caught up to your years of hard work in just a few months. So if you’re not trash, then what are you?”

“Don’t think just because you got promoted faster than me that you’re stronger than me. You just got lucky! You can’t even handle this small Three-Star Quest and need my help. Do you think you’re that impressive?” Zhao Guang was furious. He lunged at Jiang Xincheng. “A mere Primordial Warrior at the middle stage of the Bone Training Realm, a rookie who just joined the Flourishing Tang Empire, how dare you mock me like this? If I don’t show you the power of us veteran Leaders of Ten today, you won’t know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is!”

Watching Zhao Guang charging at him, a cold smile appeared on Jiang Xincheng’s face. Instead of dodging, he swung his fist to meet the attack. “Trash who took so long to become a Leader of Ten, don’t think just because you have the peak late stage of the Bone Training Realm strength that I’m afraid of you. As a member of the Empire, defeating enemies across realms is nothing unusual. Even if I only have middle stage Bone Training Realm strength, it’s enough to deal with you.”

Amid the cold words, Jiang Xincheng’s fist and Zhao Guang’s fist collided heavily.

“Clang…”

“Ah…”

Amid the harsh clang of metal, Zhao Guang was sent flying by Jiang Xincheng’s punch. He crashed hard into the wall behind him, actually breaking through the wall.

“Impossible! How is this possible? I, a dignified Primordial Warrior at the peak late stage of the Bone Training Realm, only half a step away from the Cloud Condensation Realm—how could I lose to a mere Primordial Warrior at the middle stage of the Bone Training Realm? And in a direct clash? I don’t believe it!”

Struggling to get up from the rubble, Zhao Guang shouted and madly charged at Jiang Xincheng again. “I’ll kill you!”

“Clang…”

“Ah…”

“Boom…”

…

Amid the noises mixed with screams, Zhao Guang flew back even faster than he had charged, smashing hard into the wall and immediately passing out, buried under a pile of broken bricks and debris.

Looking at Zhao Guang lying motionless on the ground, Jiang Xincheng smiled faintly and said to the nearby police officers, “Throw him out. Dump him on the street.”

“Yes, Mr. Jiang.” Several police officers looked at Jiang Xincheng with admiration. They hurriedly dragged Zhao Guang out of the rubble and threw him outside.

“Who is it? What are you doing? Don’t you know there are neighbors next door? You girls from Weiliang Company, what on earth are you up to? In broad daylight, you broke a hole in our wall. Are you practicing wall-breaking skills?”

Just then, a man with heavy makeup, wearing a Scottish skirt, whose age was hard to determine, came through the hole in the wall. Waving his hand effeminately, he walked over with an angry face. Then he saw police officers holding guns. All the girls from Weiliang Company were being escorted by these officers, with dark gun barrels aimed at them as if they were about to shoot at any moment.

The heavily made-up man trembled all over. The anger on his face instantly turned into an awkward smile. He hastily bowed to Jiang Xincheng and the others and apologized, “Sorry, I came to the wrong room. Please continue, I’ll go back now. I won’t bother you again.”

After saying that, the heavily made-up man turned and ran. But he didn’t watch where he was going, tripped over a broken brick, and fell hard onto the ground. He ended up covered in dust and looking utterly disheveled. With a pained expression, he scrambled up, went back to the room opposite, and disappeared.

“He… he’s the makeup artist from the neighbor’s beauty company.” Seeing Jiang Xincheng glance at her, Chen Lingling quickly explained, a hint of joy after escaping disaster flashing across her delicate little face.

The other girls from Weiliang Company watched the heavily made-up man leave in embarrassment. Then they thought of Zhao Guang, who had just been thrown out by Jiang Xincheng. One by one, they also smiled, and the hatred and anger they had felt toward Jiang Xincheng when they first met were completely gone from their eyes.

Happiness comes from comparison. Through comparison, they realized how gentle Jiang Xincheng had been to them. If it weren’t for Jiang Xincheng, most of them would probably have been sent to prison by now. If nothing unexpected happened, they would never get out for the rest of their lives. Even if they weren’t sent to prison, they would live under surveillance for the rest of their lives, never having freedom again.

Moreover, many girls could tell that Zhao Guang had lustful intentions toward them. If they were really captured by Zhao Guang, who could say whether they would face imprisonment or something even crueler than imprisonment? No one could be sure.

Jiang Xincheng, in a daze, had transformed from Weiliang Company’s disaster into Weiliang Company’s savior.

And this was exactly the result Jiang Xincheng wanted.
