One does not slap a smiling face, and at this moment, Ren Chen's courteous demeanor took Suming by surprise.
It was completely off-script! The normal plot progression would involve Ren Chen ranting and raving, trying to oppress others with his wealth, actively seeking his own doom by coming over to humiliate himself, revealing an odious nouveau riche ugliness that even the gods would despise, and then, with a light smile, using his "spiritual power" cheat to harshly teach this guy a lesson!
Could it be the wrong approach? Or was this guy in front of him actually a decent fellow?
Clearly, Ren Chen was no good fellow, despite the polite tone of his speech, which contained no attacks on Suming. Yet, Suming could still sense a very restrained arrogance in his attitude.
