Hearing this, Liu Guanfeng cupped his fist towards Zhu Xiao and said, "Zhu Yuan Shuai, I will go handle this matter first. I want to see who dares to kill my Mount." With that, Liu Guanfeng turned and left.
Zhu Xiao saw this and quickly grabbed him, saying, "Liu President, there's no need to be angry. It's just a child acting impulsively."
"Zhu Yuan Shuai, those two Mounts of mine have been with me for many years. They have experienced life and death with me countless times. I cannot allow others to insult them like this. I must reclaim my dignity today." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng exerted force in his arm and shook off Zhu Xiao's hand.
Zhu Xiao was stunned when his hand was shaken off. After all, he was an Advanced Knight. How could he not hold onto someone? What kind of strength does Liu Xin possess? At the very least, he shouldn't be weaker than me.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng had already disappeared at the stairway on the fourth floor. Zhu Xiao and Cai Sidong exchanged wry smiles before turning to follow him. Their negotiations today had not gone smoothly; they had just arrived in the morning when they saw Liu Guanfeng being troubled by the shopkeeper of the restaurant. Now they hoped to have a quiet discussion about business, but here came another Song De.
If his appearance ruined their business deal, Zhu Xiao would probably wipe out his entire family. As Cai Sidong followed behind Zhu Xiao, he couldn't help but shake his head at Zhu Xiao's back.
Currently, Zhu Xiao's face was already purple with anger. He hadn't expected such a situation to arise; this Song De was truly blind to the circumstances. To cause trouble at such a critical moment—if this matter were to be messed up, just wait until I deal with you two.
When Zhu Xiao and Cai Sidong reached the third floor, they found many people gathered in front of a private room. Today, Song De was hosting a banquet there. He had recently made acquaintance with an Advanced Knight, and whether in the Knight's continent or on Luo Heng Island, Advanced Knights were highly regarded. When Song De met this Advanced Knight, he learned that the knight was still free and thought about how to bring him into his family as an instructor for their clan.
To please this Advanced Knight, Song De decided to host him at the best hotel in Spring City—Royal Hotel. However, upon arriving on the third floor today, he found that his usual private room had been occupied by someone else. Thus, Song De wanted to see who had taken over his room because he knew almost everyone who could afford to spend money at Royal Hotel in Spring City.
But when Song De opened the door to the private room, he was furious. On the table sat two small dogs—a black one and a white one—enjoying a feast. Upon seeing this scene, Song De's expression soured because usually he had brought Mounts here before but had always been stopped by Manager Zhu. Why were these two Mounts allowed on the third floor? And in a private room no less?
Song De immediately called for Manager Zhu and pointed inside at Little Black and XP. "Manager Zhu, shouldn't you explain this situation to me?"
Manager Zhu nodded and said with a bow, "Young Master Song, why don't you switch to another room?"
"Manager Zhu, it's not about switching rooms. When I brought Mounts before, you always stopped me. What is going on with these two today?"
"I can't say for sure; it's all my uncle's decision."
Song De was taken aback by this: "Your uncle? Manager Zhu, how dare you say that? Who doesn't know that Zhu Yuan Shuai hardly comes here even once a year? I'm giving you a chance now; Manager Zhu, get these two beasts out of here immediately. If not, I'll just kill them for dog meat."
Upon hearing that they might be killed for meat, Little Black and XP raised their heads to glance at Song De before lowering them again to continue enjoying their meal.
If it were in the past, Song De might have already switched to a private room for dining, but today is different. Behind him stands an Advanced Knight, and he wants to showcase his family's strength in front of such a knight. Therefore, he intends to perform well today. As for fighting, with that Advanced Knight present, he certainly cannot let himself be at a disadvantage.
In order to make a good impression, Song De is acting so arrogantly, which inevitably means that he will have to pay a price for this arrogance.
As Liu Guanfeng walked down the stairs, he saw Song De gesturing wildly at Manager Zhu. Manager Zhu was trying to stop him, while Song De was intent on rushing in to take down the two Mounts.
Seeing this made Liu Guanfeng furious. Although he knew these people couldn't harm Little Black and XP, it still felt uncomfortable to see his brothers being pointed at like that.
Liu Guanfeng quickly made his way into the crowd. Upon seeing him, Manager Zhu gave a wry smile and said, "President Liu, you're here."
Liu Guanfeng didn't respond; instead, he took two steps and reached behind Song De, grabbing him by the collar. At that moment, the group of bodyguards behind Song De was still cheering him on and had no idea someone was about to take action.
Once Liu Guanfeng grabbed Song De's collar and yanked him forcefully aside, fortunately, the Advanced Knight behind Song De reacted quickly and caught him.
Before Song De could comprehend what was happening, he found himself being held by his own side's Advanced Knight. He cupped his fist towards the knight and said, "Thank you for saving me."
After speaking, he turned to Liu Guanfeng and pointed at him. "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my affairs? You should know who I am!"
"I don't want to know who you are. I have no need to know. I just want to tell you to get lost right now."
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng's words, Song De laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke. "Kid, you dare tell me to get lost? It seems you don't know who holds the power here. Someone! Come beat him up; it doesn't matter if it's life or death!"
At that moment, Zhu Xiao and Cai Sidong happened to arrive on the third floor and heard Song De roaring from afar. He actually said "life or death," but if it truly came down to that, it would likely be your whole family facing consequences in Severe Winter.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiao quickly moved to the back of the crowd. Just then, Song De's thugs were preparing to pounce. To prevent Liu Guanfeng from getting hurt, Zhu Xiao didn't hesitate; he leaped over the onlookers and into the center of the scene. With a push of his hands, all seven or eight of Song De's lackeys were sent flying by Zhu Xiao. As an Advanced Knight, dealing with these Junior Knights and lower Intermediate Knights was not a problem at all.
As Song De prepared to watch how this young man would be beaten up, he suddenly realized with horror that his lackeys not only failed to touch their target but were instead all sent back flying. What on earth was happening? Before he could figure it out, one of his lackeys crashed right into him.
Song De scrambled up but didn’t even see who it was before shouting angrily: "Which blind fool dares to interfere with me? Even if I go to Zhu Yuan Shuai’s place, I will skin him alive!"
Just as Song De stood up ready to continue cursing, he saw the person who had just acted against his lackeys. His throat felt as if someone had choked him; after standing there dumbfounded for a moment, he suddenly knelt down with a thud: "Grandpa Zhu, I was wrong! Please spare me; I won't dare do it again."
After blocking the incoming person, Zhu Xiao stood up with a clap of his hands, only to be met with a barrage of insults from Song De. This was the first time he had been scolded since becoming Grand Marshal, and the one doing the scolding was the son of General Song, whom he had personally promoted. It felt awkward for him; usually, when Song De saw him, he would call him "grandpa" affectionately, but today he was immediately berated. At this moment, Zhu Xiao's face turned a deep shade of red, and he was filled with rage.
Song De's arrogance here was somewhat justified. Usually, when he came around, Manager Zhu treated him like a young master because Song De's father, Song Cheng, was promoted by Zhu Xiao himself. Zhu Xiao was an ordinary person without any background; when he first entered the military camp, he was just a regular soldier. When he became a corporal, Song Cheng was a new recruit under his command. Eventually, Zhu Xiao's leadership skills were recognized by Severe Winter, allowing him to rise step by step to the position of Grand Marshal. Meanwhile, Song Cheng, who had followed Zhu Xiao from the beginning, gradually rose to become a general.
For Song Cheng, Zhu Xiao was his benefactor; without Zhu Xiao, there would be no Song Cheng today. To repay Zhu Xiao for his recognition and support, Song Cheng acknowledged Zhu Xiao as his godfather and often brought him gifts. Song De had always been clever and endearing since childhood, which made Zhu Xiao very fond of him. Sometimes even the household staff couldn't tell whether Song De was Zhu Xiao's god-grandson or biological grandson.
So when Zhu Xiao heard Song De's insults today, he was so furious that his hands trembled. Seeing Zhu Xiao's shaking hands made Song De realize he had made a grave mistake. He quickly said, "Grandpa Zhu, I’m sorry! Please forgive me; I won’t do it again," and kept his head down in fear.
At this moment, Song De felt extremely regretful and had already cursed Liu Guanfeng in his heart. Who is this person? Why does he have to come out and stop me when I want to teach my grandpa a lesson? His impression in Zhu Xiao's mind had been completely ruined; restoring it would be quite difficult now.
Zhu Xiao took about five or six minutes to calm down his anger before slowly raising his trembling finger to point at Song De: "You little rascal! How dare you speak disrespectfully to an old man? Do you know who this is? He is the President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce! He came here today for important business discussions while you are causing trouble here. You need to go home right now and have your father come here personally!" After saying this, Zhu Xiao kicked Song De hard, sending him sprawling on the floor.
Song De quickly got up and ran downstairs without looking back, even forgetting about the Advanced Knight he wanted to invite.
At that moment when Zhu Xiao mentioned Liu Guanfeng as the President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, a flicker of determination crossed the eyes of an Advanced Knight behind Song De. This subtle hint of killing intent was noticed by Liu Guanfeng. However, Liu Guanfeng remained expressionless while thinking: Is this person trying to kill me? Why does he want to kill me? Who is he? Could he be sent by the New Home Chamber of Commerce?
However, that person quickly concealed his murderous intent and walked out of the Royal Hotel with his head down. As he reached the staircase, he glanced back at Liu Guanfeng one last time; he wanted to remember Liu Guanfeng's appearance firmly in his mind.
Liu Guanfeng could only shake his head at this person's actions; it seemed that things would not be peaceful from now on. He wondered who had sent someone to kill him. But all these thoughts were internal; Liu Guanfeng acted as if he hadn't seen any of this person's movements—this was merely a tactic to keep his opponent off guard so that he could strike unexpectedly.
After taking one last look at Liu Guanfeng, the Advanced Knight turned and walked down the stairs as if he were parting ways with Song De. However, Liu Guanfeng knew that he definitely wasn't leaving with Song De; perhaps Song De was just a pawn in this game.
