"Bastard! How dare you spew such rubbish? You're no child of our Yap Family!" Yap Lanshou roared, and slapped Yap Liangchen a few times in tight succession.
As one of the biggest families in Dragon City, the Yap family was so powerful that they could do whatever they want outside Dragon City. That was the reason it was an affront that Yap Liangchen would ask Yap Lanshou to become Chen Xiaobei's follower.
Furthermore, their former heir even dared to declare that Chen Xiaobei would trample over the Yap Family if Yap Lanshou refused. That made Yap Lanshou nothing short of apoplectic.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei himself was stunned after hearing Yap Liangchen's words too. He knew that Yap Liangchen was loyal, but there should be a limit to pride!
Enraging Yap Lanshou was equivalent to courting death; that old man was a combatant of thirteen thousand combat power after all! Chen Xiaobei would definitely be defeated if he went head-to-head.
That being said – when Chen Xiaobei considered again, Yap Liangchen was not one who acted without thinking. There must a reason he was acting so arrogantly.
And when he did, Chen Xiaobei was emboldened. "Yap Liangchen, come over here." He ordered.
"Stand right there! You don't have my permission to move!" Yap Lanshou growled.
"I don't give a f*ck about your permission! I will obey Bro Bei's orders come what may!" Yap Liangchen's mouth twitched as he walked over to Chen Xiaobei's side.
"Bastard! Are you crazy?! Why are you listening to a stupid brat?! How dare you disobey me?! Have you forgotten your surname?" Yap Lanshou yelled angrily in response. "I dare you to make another step! I will break your leg!"
And there was no doubt that he meant it; Yap Lanshou began to channel his True Qi, freezing the air around him.
"Go on! Break my legs, and I will crawl to Bro Bei!" Yap Liangchen shot back, unintimidated by Yap Lanshou. "You're a senile fool. You will regret it if you still refuse to become Bro Bei's follower!"
"Useless bastard! Your madness is beyond salvation!" Yap Lanshou was so furious his eyes virtually shot fire; he swung his hands at Yap Liangchen and screamed. "I'm shall slap your craziness away!"
His palms were large enough to grab Yap Liangchen's head; it would mean some significant damage or even death if the slap lands!
"Hey, old man! I'm still here!" At that critical moment, Chen Xiaobei called out to Yap Lanshou icily. "I'll break Yap Xianghu's neck if you slap Yap Liangchen!"
"You…" Yap Lanshou was stunned. He stopped his attack at Chen Xiaobei's threat; he only had two grandkids! The Yap Family would be left heirless if he killed Yap Liangchen and Chen Xiaobei killed Yap Xianghu!
"Brat! Do you have any idea what you're doing to my family? Yap Lanshou seethed through his teeth. "You're the first who have the balls to threaten me outside Dragon City!"
"Well said… You make it sound as if I took your virginity." Chen Xiaobei shrugged mockingly.
"I…" Yap Lanshou almost spat blood up onto the ceiling.
"I'm the leader of the Yap Family! Even men of power and influence have to show their respects when they see me! How dare he mock me?! This mongrel has no morals!" Yap Lanshou thought.
In the meantime, Yap Liangchen reached Chen Xiaobei safely.
*Thud!*
Chen Xiaobei had thrown Yap Xianghu at Yap Lanshou as if hurling garbage.
"Xianghu! Are you alright?!" Yap Lanshou quickly helped his grandson up and fed him a pill he had in his pocket.
*Cough*
*Cough*
Yap Xianghu coughed under considerable duress, but once he regained his consciousness he started to cry and complain.
"Grandpa… You have to avenge me… You must avenge me… Sob… Sob…"
"Stop crying you useless piece of shit!" Yap Lanshou scolded and left him in a corner. Turning around, the elderly man glared menacingly at Chen Xiaobei. "Bastard! Do you really think that you can walk out of here alive?!"
"Of course I can!" He shrugged and said casually. Initially, Chen Xiaobei was really worried that he might not be able to leave this place alive – the old man possessed thirteen thousand combat power after all! To best him was impossible.
However, he stopped worrying after Yap Liangchen whispered something to him.
"Really? I'll kill you with one slap! We'll see how you walk out from this place alive then!" Yap Lanshou roared in fury while he readied his most powerful hit. He spread his legs and channeled True Qi into his palms; his body emanated with murderous aura.
Nonetheless, Chen Xiaobei remained undaunted. "I'm going to advise you against attacking me!" He smiled. "My backup is really something else! You will pay dearly if you kill me today!"
"Backup? You're just having a laugh now… Hahaha…" Yap Lanshou laughed condescendingly. "You? What kind of backup do you have? Forget Green Vine City; the Yap Family can deal with any backup who made their name in the province!"
"What if my backup goes beyond that?" Chen Xiaboei smiled and asked.
"More powerful than provincial champions? You?" Yap Lanshou maintained his condescending streak. "My own backup is going to settle things for me if the Yap Family can't deal with your backup! Let me tell you something, Dragon City is not as simple as you think. There are a lot of powerful and influential people behind my family! That is why my family still stands tall in Dragon City!"
"Grandpa, you're right!" Yap Xianghu peeked out from the back of his grandfather's shoulder and joined in on the arrogant declaration. "Chen Xiaobei, your backup is just garbage in front Yap Family's backup! A pile of shit! Please don't show off in front of us, it's sheer stupidity!"
"Garbage? A pile of shit?" Chen Xiaobei smiled. "You better slap yourself now. If not, you'll have to bear the consequences for mocking my backup!"
"You son of a bitch! Still so cocky before you die? I'll let you know which face to slap when my grandpa cripples you!" Yap Xianghu screamed.
"Hehe… It looks like I'll have to do something to make you kneel! Look at this!" Reaching into his pocket, Chen Xiaobei pressed on his cellphone without looking and took out the Duskdawn from his treasure chest.
"What the hell is that? It's just a stupid jade ring; you can't use that useless shit to scare me! And please don't tell me that your backup is some kind of ancient emperor! Hahaha… Argh!"
*Slap!*
A slap landed on Yap Xianghu's face as he laughed, scattering his teeth all over the floor and sending him flying to the wall once more.
This time, he could not get up.
"Grand… Grandpa… Why did you slap me?" he asked in confusion; he never would have expected his own dear Grandpa to slap him.
"Shut up! Apologize to Mr. Chen right now! Right. Now!" Yap Lanshou screamed.
The old man had also bowed to Chen Xiaobei while apologizing politely. "I'm such an old fool… I did not know that Mr. Chen was one of Elder Cao's, I hope a great man like you will not stoop to pettiness over our past transgressions… Please forgive us…"
