The Human Emperor (1-200)

C62: The Future

“Scram!”

Wei Hao flew into a rage. He never had a good impression of thugs who gave in to authority while bullying the weak. What debt note; it was just an excuse to take money for free.

Wei Hao didn’t expect this thug to be so brazen to even forcefully stop his and Wang Chong’s carriage to ask for money.

“Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, don’t blame us for getting nasty!”

Shen Hai and Meng Long stood up. They were both loyal guards of the Wang Family, and now that their young master’s carriage was being forcefully stopped and opened by a thug, the duo was infuriated.

They would never go easy on those thugs who often spent their time idling around and bullying the kind and weak.

Seeing Shen Hai and Meng Long flying into a rage and preparing themselves to beat him up, that thug’s expression suddenly tightened, as though he was fearful of the other party.

But soon, he snickered. He looked at the duo with a lofty and contemptuous expression. However, his disdain only flickered across his face for an instant. That man turned his head and looked at Wang Chong, who seemed to be the one who was the most up to negotiation, and chuckled:

“Hehe, this gongzi, you look like a talented person. You will definitely be one of the pillars holding up the country in the future. Why don’t you lend me some money? Rest easy, I will definitely return it to you.”

“Audacious!”

Shen Hai and Meng Lon’s expression turned icy as the energy in their dantian gushed out, emitting a powerful aura suddenly from their bodies. They stretched their hands forward grabbing the hands of the thug, preparing to throw him aside with a flick of their wrist.

Shen Hai and Meng Long were experts in the military. Even though they had sustained injuries, causing their fighting prowess to be lowered greatly, leaving them no choice but to move to the Wang Family, their strength still wasn’t something that an average martial artist could compare to.

With a single throw, the other party would at least be thrown a distance of twenty zhang, breaking all of his bones in his body.(1 zhang = 3.3m)

“Wait a moment!”

Wang Chong suddenly halted the duo.

Wang Chong had been immersed in his thoughts previously. Even though a thug had come and blocked his way, with Wei Hao, Shen Hai, and Meng Long here, it shouldn’t be a matter that he needed to worry over. However, after hearing the voice and the intonation of that thug, Wang Chong’s heart skipped a beat.

That voice and that tone was simply too familiar to Wang Chong.

‘Hehe, this gongzi, you look like a talented person. You will definitely be one of the pillars holding up the country in the future’; Whenever that man met those nobles or scions, he would always repeat that catchphrase of his with a bright smile on his face with the exact same intonation.

Even though it sounded like a compliment, those who had heard those words know that that guy didn’t mean the words he said.

He had used the very same words before dozens, even up to a hundred, of scions and nobles, and he didn’t even alter the phrase in the least.

Wang Chong had remembered hearing those words once. Even though it was only a single time, that person had left a lasting impression on Wang Chong.

——Even though Wang Chong had never met that person after that time.

Wang Chong turned his head and examined the man. At the first glance, Wang Chong didn’t see any hint of that person on the face of the thug before him, his ragged look didn’t spark any memories.
