Although Chen XIaobei had only known Bro Huo for less than half a day, he already saw him as a friend.
Chen Xiaobei couldn't just let slide the fact that Fu Zhiyun had beaten Bro Huo up so badly.
Of course, Fu Zhiyun was no fool either. Since he had come to Saint Duke Imperial City to challenge Chen Xiaobei, he was was prepared.
"How do I want to die?" Fu Zhiyun sneered. "This is Saint Duke Imperial City! You are just a low-life from some low-ranking starfield! Do you think you can kill me? How presumptuous of you!"
The twenty other people surrounding them laughed along with Fu Zhiyun; their eyes digging hungrily into Chen Xiaobei as if he was lunch.
"Go ahead and bring out your backup! You bunch of rotten eggs can't touch me anyway!" Chen Xiaobei could read him like a book.
Back on Boulder Planet, Fu Zhiyun was so afraid of Chen Xaiobei that he ran away with his tails tucked between his legs.
Fu Zhiyun would not have dared to appear before Chen Xiaobei without someone powerful to back him up.
"Hehe! You guessed correctly! My backup will be here soon!" Fu Zhiyun laughed. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. All you have to do is admit like a G.o.d boy that I am the one who caught the stag, and that you are just a little thief who stole my pa.s.s to the Battle For the Bride compet.i.tion. Then, perhaps, I'll let both of you live! Or else, both of you will have to die!"
"Based on my understanding, Saint Duke Imperial has laws! How are you going to get away with killing the both of us?" Chen Xiaobei said icily.
"Hehe, the law can't touch me!" Fu Zhiyun snorted. "If you just cooperate and admit, everyone will be happy! If you refuse to cooperate, not only will I kill both of you, but I will also get my hands on Saint Duke's government office's records! On it, will be a statement of your confession and your fingerprints!"
"So, your backup is from the government office?!" Chen Xiaobei was starting to fret a little.
"Doctors… No... Commoners don't struggle against government officials! Just do as he says…" Bro Huo said nervously. "The government office is where the officers of Saint Duke work. If a fight breaks out, the government will see you as the enemy! You really do not want that!"
Chen Xiaobei's frowned deepened.
Although he did not like Bro Huo's timidness, he had to admit that what Bro Huo said made perfect sense.
Chen Xiaobei could go head to head against Fu Zhiyun's backup but he could not afford to do that with the government!
If a fight were to break out, Chen Xiaobei was definitely going to be the losing party. He might even lose the chance to continue in the Battle for the Bride compet.i.tion!
"So, are you scared now?" Fu Zhiyun's smile was gorwing smug by the minute. "You have 2 minutes to live. Once my backup gets here, it'll be your funeral!"
Chen Xiaobei grew silent, trying to figure out a way to solve his situation.
"Miracle Doctor… Just promise him… If you wait any longer, we're both dead…" Bro Huo urged.
Some distance away from the street corner, a man about eight feet tall in a red robe looked over at them.
"Prince, what are you looking at?" A guard in black uniform asked.
"The man in red robe narrowed his eyes. "I think I heard the words, Miracle Doctor'!"
"Miracle Doctor?" The guard furrowed his brows. "It's just a bunch of hooligans yakking away. What Miracle Doctor could there be?"
"That young man. I saw him earlier! The man in the red robe said. "I saw him at the Imperial Palace!"
"There is no such person in our database! He must be one of those people that had been asked to fill in the pool of elimination rounds! I don't think he will affect the compet.i.tion!"
"Let's take a look! I think that there's more to this kid!"
"I really cannot see how much more there could be to this... kid!" The guard said cynically.
"First, he was walking very closely with Ling Qingfeng!" The man in red robe said.
"No way… what would that sinner Ling Qingfeng, that reprobate actually do near a man? This is breaking news!" The guard clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Secondly, look at the injured man next to him!" The man in red squinted. "For the past 10 seconds, as we were talking, his Blood Qi looks to have improved a lot!"
"You mean that… that kid really is a Miracle Doctor?" The guard asked, still filled with disbelief.
"I sincerely hope he is! If his majesty's illness is not cured, I'm afraid that Neptune will fall into a catastrophe!"
"That…" The guard swallowed; his eyes s.h.i.+vering with fear.
Back at the street corner.
Fu Zhiyun chuckled, "Hey kid! My backup is here! The two of you idiots can die now!"
Zing! Zing! Zing!
The twenty people surrounding them all drew out their weapons.
"Thirteenth uncle! You're finally here!" Fu Zhiyun walked up to the middle-aged man in s.h.i.+ny silver attire.
"Oh no… that… That's Baihu!" Bro Huo was disheartened. "Not only does that person have the authority to inspect and arrest, but he can also sanction a person to jail! He can kill us, and then simply a.s.sign a crime to our names! To make things worse, it would be considered legal and he will even receive a merit for it!"
On the other side, the guard and the men in red were observing the situation.
The guard asked, "Prince, that kid looks like he's in trouble. Should we help him?"
"There's no need to get involved. If he can't even solve such a small problem, then he's not the Miracle Doctor that I need!"
"Yes… but then again..." The guard sounded worried. "An outsider is no match for a Baihu!"
"If he can't fight, then he should just die." The man replied.
At the street corner.
"Hehehe… I gave you a chance but you did not appreciate it!" Fu Zhiyun sneered. "Thirteenth uncle! That's the idiot who stole my card to enter the Battle for the Bride compet.i.tion! Help me kill him, quick!"
The middle-aged man looked terrified. "Chen… Childe Chen…"
"How are you, Baihu Fu!" Chen Xiaobei really was worried just now. But when he saw the middle-aged man, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was the Baihu Fu who came to investigate the burnt down villa.
"Thirteenth uncle… You know this little s.h.i.+t?" Fu Zhiyun asked.
Smack!
The man said nothing but sent a hardy slap across Fu Zhiyun's face instead!
"Owww…" Fu Zhiyun screamed, as he fell to the ground. When he opened his mouth, two large teeth fell out. "Uncle… Why did you hit me?"
"Open your stupid eyes and take a good look!" Baihu Fu said. "This is the man who shares the eleventh place on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard with Childe Qingfeng – Childe! Chen!"
