Long Chuan could never have imagined that the woman he'd taken a fancy to at the restaurant was connected to the famous Little Prince of Cangyun City. Fortunately, he hadn't had a chance to do anything out of line yet. Otherwise, no place in this wide world would be big enough for him to hide. What was even more unthinkable was that a fool like this actually existed—soone who dared to ignore the Little Prince? Not only that, but he even held the woman's hand right in front of the Little Prince's n? Even if Zhou Yufei had made the first move, a man should suppress the urge completely. How could soone like the Little Prince tolerate another man touching a woman he had his eye on? Especially when this man was so worthless piece of trash who ca from nowhere. The higher a person's status, the more they cared about their pride. For soone of the Little Prince's level, that went without saying.
"The Little Prince is renowned throughout Cangyun City. Soone like you is completely beneath his notice," Li Yun said, his smile turning frosty. "But we, who do his bidding, naturally have to clear out the trash for our master, lest it becos an eyesore."
The middle-aged man beside him urged impatiently, "He's just a worthless piece of trash. Why waste ti talking? Just kill him and be done with it."
"Doesn't he know his place? Daring to touch a woman the Little Prince has his eye on... he's simply courting death."
Li Yun scoffed and dragged a chair over to sit down. "Watching a dog-eat-dog show isn't so bad, actually." Then, he pointed at Long Chuan. "You. Take him out."
"?" Long Chuan, who had thought he was out of it, was startled for a mont before becoming overjoyed. "Yes, yes! Sir, even if you hadn't said a word, I would never have let him off easily!"
Chen Yang remained as still as a statue. He glanced at the Qingyuan River basking in the warm sun outside and suddenly asked, "How about we go to the riverside stalls for food later?"
Li Yun was speechless. So was Long Chuan. This guy... he wasn't taking them seriously at all? He was still thinking about where and what to eat later?
"Haha!" Noticing Li Yun's displeasure, Long Chuan roared, "You little bastard, be arrogant while you can! My father's office is on the top floor. Once he cos down, we'll see if you make it out of this alive!"
SLAP.
Chen Yang sent a backhanded slap across the space between them, sending Long Chuan spinning through the air as blood sprayed from his mouth.
"Tell him to hurry up. I can't wait long," Chen Yang said. "And you, clean up your language."
The onlookers were stunned into silence. What... what was happening?!
Li Yun's gaze hardened slightly before he sneered. "No wonder you're so arrogant. Turns out you're a decent Fist Master?"
"Not decent. Just passable," Chen Yang replied nonchalantly.
Li Yun chuckled, lit a cigarette, and waited quietly for the show to continue.
"You... you dare to hit ?!" It took Long Chuan a mont to recover from his daze. He clutched his bleeding face, his bloodshot eyes locked on Chen Yang. "You're finished! If I don't kill you today, I'll write my na backward!"
SLAP.
Another slap cracked across his face. "I told you to clean up your language. Do you not understand plain speech?"
Long Chuan fell silent.
Li Yun and his companion still showed no intention of intervening. He's just a piece of trash. If he dies, he dies. All the better to be rid of the eyesore.
A short while later, a series of urgent footsteps echoed from the direction of the elevators, growing rapidly louder as they approached.
Struggling back to his feet, Long Chuan broke into a ferocious grin as a large group of people arrived, led by a square-faced middle-aged man. The man bore a strong resemblance to Long Chuan and strode forward with the gait of a tiger, exuding a thick, murderous aura.
He was Long Yicheng, Long Chuan's father and one of the largest shareholders in the hotel. While he might not be a top-tier magnate in Cangyun City, his reputation cast a long shadow. He wasn't soone the average person could afford to provoke.
"Dad, kill him! You have to kill him for !" Long Chuan pointed to his mangled face and roared, "Look at ! Look at what he did to ! When have I ever been humiliated like this?"
"Who did this?!" Long Yicheng ripped open the buttons of his suit jacket, his eyes rapidly turning bloodshot. That's right, when has his son ever been treated so inhumanely? And on his own territory, no less. Isn't this like walking right up to a tiger and tugging its tail?
Long Chuan jabbed a finger at Chen Yang. "It's this little bastard!"
Seeing this, Long Yicheng sneered. "This damn mutt, putting on airs as if he's the Heavenly King himself. He'll probably only wake up after I've crippled him."
Long Yicheng strode forward, his furious gaze following his son's finger. "You cur, you—"
His words died in his throat. The imperious, murderous expression on his face froze solid, then drained of all color, turning a deathly pale. His features began to twitch violently.
"You... you are..."
Upon confirming Chen Yang's identity, the hotel owner's pupils dilated as if he'd seen a ghost. His legs began to tremble, and he nearly collapsed to the floor.
Long Chuan was stunned. "Dad?" he called out instinctively.
THUD!
Without a second's hesitation, Long Yicheng dropped to his knees. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you, sir! I truly had no idea..."
Long Chuan was speechless. Everyone else was speechless. What in the world was going on?
This sudden turn of events startled even Li Yun, who had been watching from the side. He raised his eyelids slightly, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
THUMP. THUMP.
Long Yicheng repeatedly knocked his head on the floor. "My son has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! Please, Your Excellency, be rciful and grant the Long Family a path to survival!"
He rembered that day—the day of the Luo Family funeral. He hadn't been qualified to enter the Luo Family Estate, so like many others, he had arrived early to wait on the road outside. It was there that he witnessed, with his own eyes, this very man kill the Great Elder of the Southern Polar Royal Family in a counterattack and nail Luo Yunhai to the gate of the Luo Family's ho. He... He was none other than that terrifying figure, the one whose na made all the noble clans tremble... the Forr Chief Military Commander! It was on that day that Long Yicheng understood for the first ti in his life what a truly powerful person was. But he never could have imagined he would et the Forr Chief Military Commander again here, under these circumstances.
"Do you have a private room?" Noticing the wind picking up outside, Chen Yang had abandoned his plan to eat by the Qingyuan River. He directed his question to Long Yicheng.
Without even taking a mont to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Long Yicheng nodded frantically. "Yes, yes! There's a premium suite on the top floor. I'll have soone prepare it for you imdiately, sir."
Long Chuan stared in disbelief. So did everyone else. The great Long Yicheng, a man of considerable standing in Cangyun City, was groveling like a pug?
"I told you we should have just killed him and left," the middle-aged man beside Li Yun complained. "You just had to ss around, and now look. In the end, we still have to do it ourselves."
Li Yun spread his hands. "You're right, my mistake."
"Don't trouble yourself. I'll finish him."
