Walking along the roadside, Pei Jinye was holding his phone, talking on a call.
Suddenly, a car pulled up beside him, and someone inside was saying something loudly.
Pei Jinye looked at the other person doubtfully and then said to the person on the phone, ending the call to look over, “Are you talking to me?”
“Yes, you.”
The butler got out of the car with a smirk on his face and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone dare to refuse Boss Qi. Kid, I have to say, you’ve got ideas, but it’s a pity you’ve used them in the wrong ce. Don’t think no one sees through your little schemes. Do you think that by saving Ms. Sun and refusing Boss Qi’s thanks, you can make him feel indebted to you?”
“Are you sick?”
Pei Jinye cut him off with these four words, shook his head, and turned to leave.
“Fine, I talked too much. Now that you have the money, stay away from the youngdy in the future. If Boss Qi wanted to deal with you, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger. Stop dreaming about rising to the top in one step.” The butler’s face was still wearing a faint smile as he pushed the money over without exnation.
His attitude was entirely condescending, implying deeply, “Beforeing here, I checked your background. A senior student from Da Peng No. 2 Middle School, got the Crescent Moon Order from that woman Xiao Bingtan, and thus joined the Bronze Association. Then, by relying on your senior fellow sister, you painstakingly wormed your way into the small circle. I heard you’re quite close to the young master of the Tang family… Now you’ve set your sights on our youngdy? I’d advise you not to waste your effort.
Your parents, including your ancestors, were just ordinary low-level peasants—bottom of the barrel should have the self-awareness of bottom of the barrel. I may be speaking bluntly, but honestly, your little schemes—”
Pei Jinye stopped.
He turned his head to look.
The butler’s condescending expression was somewhat irritating.
He cocked his head to the side.
“Then watch closely—”
Suddenly, there was a sound of an air explosion.
In the blink of an eye, Pei Jinye vanished from his original spot, and the butler’s entire face was hit directly by a gigantic fist, sending him flying.
He mmed hard against the luxury car parked nearby.
With a “bang,” the bulletproof body of the car dented on impact.
Pei Jinye walked over leisurely, stepping on the butler’s face, and said word by word, “Did you watch closely? I never hide my intentions when I want to punch someone. Also, keep your mouth shut a bit more when you bark next time, got bad breath, you know? If you don’t, let me help you fix it.”
He stomped viciously a few times.
Seemingly not satisfied, he lifted his foot and kicked away the three-ton luxury car.
Amidst the “boom” sound,
The luxury car rolled away, shattering ss and sending scattered parts flying everywhere.
The butler was petrified on the spot: “You!”
Pei Jinye threw the bank card back onto his face: “Take it back. What a piece of junk.”
He turned and walked away, hands in his pockets, unhurriedly leaving the scene.
The butler was left shaking in shock, speechless for a long time.
Inside the rental room.
Tang Huoyang called in: “Damn, Old Pei, my Brother Pei, I heard you yed the hero saving the beauty today.”
Pei Jinye, reclining in a bathtub soaked with medicinal herbs, smoothed his brow, nonchntly saying, “Where did you hear that from?”
“You forgot, I have connections at the Night Patrol Department.” Tang Huoyangughed, “So, did thedy take a fancy to you?”
“Fancy my ass, just mentioning it pisses me off.” Pei Jinye didn’t want to borate.
Tang Huoyang was taken aback: “What, there’s more to the story?”
Pei Jinye shook his head, stretched out his hand to pick up a cup of Blood Spirit Fruit juice beside him, took a sip, and said, “Not really, just me talking more than I need to. Anyway, whoever cares.”
“Come on, don’t be like that. You’ve got me all curious, and just when I thought you’d take the shot, you pull back. Man, I feel so let down.” Tang Huoyang started to ramble out of curiosity.
Pei Jinye rolled his eyes and briefly mentioned the incident of leaving the Night Patrol Department.
After hearing it, Tang Huoyang cursed out loud: “Who the hell let that bastard off the leash! Fuck, I really want to smack him. But man, you really got guts, even daring to p the butler of Sun Ruofan’s dad.”
Pei Jinye said indifferently, “If someone curses your parents to your face, would you tolerate it?”
Tang Huoyang paused: “That’s true.”
He sighed.
“What a mess.”
He didn’t dare bring up Sun Ruofan in front of Pei Jinye anymore.
“Destiny really can’t be forced.”
“Quit it; we’ll continue sparring tomorrow. I feel like I’m about to break through Power Practice,” Pei Jinye said with high spirits.
Tang Huoyang instantly cried out on the other end of the call, “Damn it, can’t you wait for me? I’m already struggling against Power Practicing Realm you, if you Exfoliate, you’re not going to just keep hitting me, are you?”
“Now that you mention it, I’m actually looking forward to it.”
“Damn!”
After hanging up the phone.
Pei Jinye ced the empty cup aside.
Lying in the bathtub, he felt the warmth brought by the rising steam.
“Buzz buzz!”
The encrypted phone on a table beside him suddenly vibrated.
Pei Jinye opened his eyes.
Ate-night message likely meant trouble again.
Pei Jinye wiped the water droplets off his hands and calmly picked up the phone.
[ck Shark]: “Come over.”
Pei Jinye frowned.
Without any exnation…
He closed his eyes.
He reviewed in his mind everything he had done recently in the Old Gods Association…
One minuteter.
Pei Jinye changed his outfit and blended into the night.
“You’re here?”
ck Shark’s tone carried an indistinct significance.
After Pei Jinye entered the room, he realized that besides himself, only ck Shark was present—Silver Art wasn’t there.
“What is it?”
He asked in a deep voice.
ck Shark smiled, didn’t respond, and pressed a button.
The next moment.
A projection appeared.
An Elder without a face, d in a white cloak, took shape.
Noticed by that gaze, Pei Jinye felt an instant shock in his heart.
The reason his blood almost froze was that the faceless Elder was the very one who had brought Lan Feng into the Old Gods Association!
“The Elder has something to discuss with you, take your time,”
ck Shark respectfully gestured to the projection, performing a ritual, and then left the room.
“Arrogance… or should I say, Demon King, long time no see,” the faceless Elder in the projection began speaking slowly, his voice almost magical.
Pei Jinye bowed his head, his hands’ tiger’s mouths crossed, making a greeting gesture.
“Your subordinate greets the Elder.”
“About the situation in Da Peng City, I have heard from ck Shark. Has your body recovered?” asked the faceless Elder in a tone as gentle as that of a caring family elder.
But Pei Jinye knew that if the other party detected any problem with him, they would definitely silence him immediately!
He paused, looked around the secret room to ensure there were no surveince devices, then took off his mask to face the faceless Elder “unmasked.”
The care from the other side may have included suspicions.
So without waiting for the other to speak, he had already removed his mask, revealing Lan Feng’s face, albeit a pale one from apparent blood loss.
“Following the will of God, your subordinate has no worries.”
The faceless Elder gazed at the face of “Lan Feng” and slowly said, “To my knowledge, your cover identity has been blown. Have you made contact with your family?”
In the entire Old Gods Association, only this faceless Elder knew the true identity of Arrogance.
So Pei Jinye was not surprised by the question.
What he needed to do now was topletely dispel the other’s concerns.
He spoke firmly, “During my contact with the Jiang family’s target, I must have been plotted against by the Heaven God… As for my cover identity, I havepletely abandoned it and assumed a new identity, living a low-profile life in Da Peng City.”
“You’ve done well. As far as I know, although the Federation has discovered your connection with the Old Gods Association, they still can’t confirm your codename… Moving forward, I will adjust your internal privileges. From now on, you will act under the identity of Demon King, independent of the ck Shark Team. I will instruct him to work with you in secrecy.”
“Your subordinate understands.”
“May God be with us.”
“May God be with us.”
