Chapter 203: Do You Think You Can Get Away?

~7 min read 1,272 words

Jiang Feng's aura suddenly erupted, like an invisible giant wave sweeping the entire study.

"How dare you!"

Si Jiannan leapt forward, blocking in front of Jiangnan Wang, his whole body's Grandmaster aura exploded outward.

"Jiang Feng! This is Jiangnan Wangfu, do not be disrespectful to the Prince!"

He knew clearly in his heart that he was by no means Jiang Feng's opponent.

Earlier, Elite Guard Commander Wu Chengliang, who was also in the Grandmaster Realm, had his arm rendered useless by a single light strike from Jiang Feng, and he still lies in bed recuperating.

Although he was a half step stronger than Wu Chengliang, against an unfathomable opponent like Jiang Feng, he probably could not withstand three moves.

But as the steward of the Prince's Residence, even knowing he was outmatched, he could only grit his teeth and press on.

Jiang Feng glanced at him, his eyes calmly shaking his head.

"I will deal with him; you cannot stop me."

As soon as the words fell, Si Jiannan suddenly felt an invisible force tightly imprisoning him.

He could not even move a single finger, let alone act.

His pupils suddenly dilated, his face filled with incredulous terror.

What kind of method is this? Clearly he felt no true Qi impact, yet he was completely controlled?

Jiang Feng's strength was terrifying to this extent!

Jiang Feng ignored the frozen Si Jiannan, stepped straight over him, and approached Jiangnan Wang.

Jiangnan Wang was forced by Jiang Feng's aura to retreat two steps, his back pressed against the cold rosewood desk, and his face could no longer maintain its previous composure.

"Jiang Feng! What are you doing? I am of the Imperial Clan! If you dare lay a hand on me, it is rebellion! A great crime that implicates nine families!"

At this moment he was truly frightened; Jiang Feng's audacious boldness and terrifying power far exceeded his expectations.

He even regretted not having directly agreed to compensate with Ginseng earlier, but instead demanding Jiang Feng apologize, escalating the matter to this level.

Jiang Feng looked at his panicked state, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Rebellion? Jiangnan Wang, do you really think I don't know what you are doing in secret?"

He paused, his gaze sharp as a blade, piercing straight into Jiangnan Wang's eyes.

"Southern Frontier Tiger Talisman, isn't that what you have been yearning for?"

"Southern Frontier Tiger Talisman!"

Those four words thundered like a startling bolt, exploding in Jiangnan Wang's ears.

His pupils instantly contracted to needle points, the color in his face drained completely, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

How could Jiang Feng know this secret?

He jerked his head up, looking at Jiang Feng, his eyes filled with shock and a barely perceptible murderous intent.

Meanwhile, Sikong Tu, hearing those four words, seemed to have all his strength drained, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Jiangnan Wang is actually scheming this..."

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been drawn into a colossal secret.

A vortex capable of shattering him to pieces.

Jiangnan Wang's ambition was far greater than he had imagined!

Jiangnan Wang inhaled deeply, forcing himself to calm down.

At this point, denial held no meaning. He stared intently at Jiang Feng, his gaze icy, his tone grim.

"What exactly do you want?"

At this moment his heart already harbored murderous intent, wishing to silence Jiang Feng forever, yet he lacked that confidence.

Even Si Jiannan was easily controlled by Jiang Feng; even with guards nearby, he might not be able to keep Jiang Feng at bay, and could instead plunge himself into greater danger.

"It's simple."

Jiang Feng raised his hand, pointing at the collapsed Sikong Tu, his tone indifferent.

"Every grievance has its source, every debt its owner. The Ginseng from Jishi Hall that I have was ruined by someone he incited from the Medical and Pharmaceutical Bureau; let him compensate me with one intact Hundred-year Ginseng, and this matter ends here."

"So... is it that simple?"

Jiangnan Wang was stunned.

"It is that simple."

Jiang Feng nodded.

"I have no time to waste with you; either have him compensate with Ginseng, or I will demolish your Jiangnan Wangfu."

"You!" Jiangnan Wang's face turned iron-blue with anger, yet he dared not retort.

He knew Jiang Feng could both say and do it; if he truly let Jiang Feng demolish the residence, his face would be utterly ruined.

He turned his head toward the collapsed Sikong Tu.

"What are you still standing around for? Bring him the Ginseng!"

Sikong Tu shivered all over, regained his senses, his face full of reluctance.

He certainly had a life, but that Hundred-year Ginseng was a treasure bestowed by the National Medical Hall, not only priceless but also a symbol of his status.

Usually he was reluctant to take it out, yet now he had to give it to Jiang Feng for free, feeling as if his heart were bleeding.

"Prince... Prince... this Ginseng was bestowed by the National Medical Hall, I cannot give it..."

He trembled, still trying to argue, attempting to salvage the situation.

"Enough talk!"

Jiangnan Wang shouted angrily.

"What time is it now? Still caring about a Ginseng? Bring it out quickly! Otherwise I, this king, will take your dog's life!"

Sikong Tu looked at Jiangnan Wang's icy gaze, knowing that if he did not fetch it, he might not leave this study today.

He clenched his teeth hard, and from the portable brocade box carefully took out a Ginseng whose whole body was Metal‑yellow.

He Trembling with both hands handed the Ginseng to Jiang Feng, his face full of heartache.

"Here… for you…"

Jiang Feng took the Ginseng, placed it at his nose tip to sniff, and nodded satisfactorily.

He put away the Ginseng, did not glance at Jiangnan Wang or Sikong Tu again, and turned to walk toward the study doorway.

Jiangnan Wang watched his silhouette, his both hands tightly clenched into Fist, his gaze full of resentful Poison and unwillingness.

But he still dared not order the guards to block. He knew that now failing to stop Jiang Feng would only invite greater trouble.

Jiang Feng reached the doorway, walked straight out, and his figure quickly vanished deep within the courtyard.

In the study, Jiangnan Wang stared at the tightly shut door, his chest heaving violently, clearly furious to the extreme.

Sikong Tu, seeing this, thought the matter was over and hurriedly got up from the Ground.

"Prince… Prince, since the matter has been resolved, I… I should also return…"

He now only wants to leave this place of dispute as quickly as possible.

The secret he just heard made him restless, only wanting to stay far away from Jiangnan Wang.

But just as he turned to leave, Si Jiannan, who had been frozen in place, Suddenly moved.

He flashed his figure, blocked the study doorway, and stared expressionlessly at Sikong Tu.

"Sikong Sir, please stay."

Sikong Tu's body instantly stiffened, the color in his face faded again, and he turned to look at Jiangnan Wang.

"Prince… Prince, what are you doing…"

Jiangnan Wang slowly turned, his face showing a bottomless cold and ominous fierceness.

His gaze fixed rigidly on Sikong Tu, as if looking at a corpse.

He hated that old dog to the core!

If it weren't for this fellow, how could I have been humiliated by Jiang Feng so?

"Old dog, you heard Jiang Feng's words just now, do you think… you can still get away?"

At this moment Jiangnan Wang was like a demon!
