Chapter 6

Xiao Mei not only said it, but she also intended to act. Wang Chong knew about her terrifying abilities. If she were to strike out of anger, Ma Zhou would likely die immediately, and his own plan would be ruined.

"Xiao Mei, don't rush!"

Wang Chong patted his little sister's shoulder and quickly calmed her down, "Let me handle this small matter. Don't forget, we have an agreement. You wouldn't disobey me, would you?"

"Ah!"

Xiao Mei felt extremely dejected, her heart filled with conflicting emotions. She knew that her older brother had been confined for seven days, all because of this scoundrel named Ma Zhou.

Given her personality, anyone who dared to harm her family would have been beaten to death by her long ago. But she couldn't ignore her brother's words.

"Alright then."

Xiao Mei lowered her head, choosing to comply.

Wang Chong smiled. This was the Xiao Mei he remembered from his past life, exactly the same!

"Ma Zhou, let's put the past behind us, but you can't think I don't know about you using my name to openly kidnap women in broad daylight, can you?"

Wang Chong said calmly, glancing at Ma Zhou. This glance was as cold as bone marrow, making everyone feel a chill and unease, as if he were a different person.

"This is bad!"

"This kid actually knows?"

"Damn, who told him?"

...

Today, Wang Chong seemed to have a sudden enlightenment, understanding everything. The group of ruffians all stepped back, sensing that today's matter would not end well.

On the other side, Ma Zhou's face showed shock, surprise, and disbelief, but it gradually turned calm, and even his right hand, which had been covering his cheek, relaxed.

To be honest, Ma Zhou never expected Wang Chong to suddenly become so shrewd, as if nothing could be hidden from him.

All the things he had done in the past were now exposed.

"Wang Chong, this is on you!"

Ma Zhou's face darkened as he spoke harshly.

Wang Chong shouldn't have slapped him in front of so many brothers; how could he save face?

He shouldn't have exposed this matter. If he were smart, he would have kept it to himself. At worst, they wouldn't interact in the future.

Wasn't it better to maintain a superficial relationship?

Did he think that just by calling him 'Young Master Chong,' he was really the leader of everyone?

Ma Zhou looked down at Wang Chong, his eyes filled with ridicule and disdain.

"It's over, Ma Zhou is angry!"

"Joking, stay far away, Ma Zhou's anger is no joke!"

"Last time, Ma Zhou crippled a noble's son at the Bone Infusion stage. Wang Chong is even weaker, just at the Blood Infusion stage. He's in for a rough time!"

...

After the initial shock and surprise, the group of ruffians all wore smug, gloating expressions.

Ma Zhou was a scoundrel, but they weren't fools. If he didn't have some skills, who would recognize him as the leader?

This guy was never a pushover!

Everyone could already imagine Wang Chong being beaten to the ground by Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

Wang Chong, this little master of the Wang family, was just a puppet under his control. Now, this puppet wanted to ride on his head and show off.

How could Ma Zhou tolerate that?

A series of crisp bone-cracking sounds came from Ma Zhou's body. Deep within his bones, his blood flowed like a stream, and a powerful force erupted from within.

"Bone Infusion Stage"!

Ma Zhou's strength had reached the Fourth Stage of Essence Qi, where he could channel Essence Qi to cleanse his bones. Compared to Wang Chong, a Third Stage Essence Qi user still at the Blood Infusion stage, he was far more powerful!

"Since you don't appreciate my efforts, you're asking for trouble!"

Ma Zhou sneered.

"Is that so?"

Wang Chong laughed coldly, his eyes showing no fear. Ma Zhou was taken aback; for some reason, Wang Chong felt very strange to him, as if he had become a different person.

There was no time to think further. Ma Zhou stepped forward, his body moving like lightning, and he threw a powerful punch. A crisp bone-cracking sound echoed, and Ma Zhou seemed to hear the sound of Wang Chong's bones breaking. However, before Ma Zhou could celebrate, a series of shocked cries came from around them:

"Ma, Ma... Young Master Ma, your nose!"

The surrounding ruffians stared in horror at Ma Zhou's nose, as if there was something terrifying on it.

"What's wrong with my nose?"

Ma Zhou was surprised. As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he felt an excruciating pain. His nasal cavity burned, and a mix of bitter, sweet, sour, and hot blood gushed out.

"My nose!"

Ma Zhou let out a heart-wrenching scream, the sound sharp and loud, making everyone shudder. In an instant, Ma Zhou realized that the bone-cracking sound he heard was not from Wang Chong, but from his own broken nose.

The bones in the nose are the softest and most fragile part of the human body.

Ma Zhou's nose, hit by that punch, made him go limp, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his nose, losing his fighting ability.

Ma Zhou couldn't understand how he had been hit by that punch!

Ma Zhou himself didn't understand, let alone the others. In their eyes, they only saw Wang Chong take a half-step to the side, and Ma Zhou's punch missed, while Wang Chong's punch hit Ma Zhou's nose.

It was like a ghost!

They had been with Wang Chong before and knew his capabilities clearly. A Third Stage Essence Qi user at the Blood Infusion stage beating a Fourth Stage Essence Qi user at the Bone Infusion stage?

This result was completely wrong!

"What a vicious blow!"

Seeing Ma Zhou's miserable state, everyone felt their scalps tingle. Some of them ran away immediately.

"Ma Zhou, these two slaps are for all those you've oppressed in the past!"

Wang Chong grabbed Ma Zhou's hair and slapped him twice. Ma Zhou, with his brute strength, lacked the awareness and technique to match Wang Chong.

"Even bullying and dominating the market has its limits. How dare you kidnap women... don't you know I detest such things the most?"

Saying this, Wang Chong slapped him twice more, and Ma Zhou's teeth fell out.

"Brother, good hit! Good hit!"

The ten-year-old Xiao Mei cheered, feeling greatly relieved. Although she couldn't act herself, watching her brother deal with this guy was very satisfying.

Wang Chong felt his anger subside after the two punches. In this life and the previous one, he hated those who bullied the weak the most. Ma Zhou using his name to do such things was intolerable.

Being confined by his parents for this reason was even more humiliating. So Wang Chong's blows were both heavy and fierce!

"Ah! You'll pay for this, you bastard!"

Ma Zhou's eyes were red with anger, his body trembling.

Slap!

Wang Chong kicked Ma Zhou in the groin, and there was a sound of something breaking. The pain made Ma Zhou scream and fall to the ground, clutching his crotch.

His face turned pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. He could only hear his own gasps, not his breaths.

"Ma Zhou, don't think I don't know. You and Yao Feng are in cahoots. Yao Feng uses you to deal with me. You rely on his power, thinking you're something?"

Wang Chong walked over and stared coldly at Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was just a minor character with no background. On his own, he wouldn't dare to play such tricks.

Seeing Ma Zhou's shocked expression, Wang Chong knew he was right. In the entire capital, the only one with such desires was Yao Feng.

Although Yao Feng had no grudge against him, he had conflicts with his older brothers. Ma Zhou could only be acting on his orders.

"Wang Chong, don't be so smug! If you can be so tough in front of me, why don't you show off in front of Young Master Yao? Yes, I used your name to kidnap women. It was all Young Master Yao's orders. If you have a problem, go to him!"

Ma Zhou raised his neck and shouted angrily.

"Heh, Ma Zhou, do you think I'm afraid?"

Wang Chong was waiting for these words. To enter Guanghe Tower, he needed this "gentleman" to lead the way.

"Show me the way. I want to see how Yao Feng will explain this."

Wang Chong sneered.

Whoosh!

Ma Zhou, seemingly drawing strength from somewhere, suddenly stood up. His eyes flashed with a deep, vengeful light.

"Wang Chong, if you're a man, follow me. Whoever is afraid is a coward!"

A gentleman doesn't let a grudge go unavenged!

He couldn't deal with Wang Chong, so he would let Yao Feng do it for him!

...

The situation was even smoother than Wang Chong had imagined. With Ma Zhou leading the way, he quickly arrived at Guanghe Tower.

In the bustling city center, an octagonal pavilion stood with flying eaves and intricate architecture, exuding grandeur. The pavilion had four floors, with red, gilded lanterns hanging from each of the eight corners, creating a magnificent scene.

Returning to a familiar place, Wang Chong felt a deep sense of nostalgia.

In his previous life, when he returned to this Guanghe Tower, it was already in ruins, covered in dust and cobwebs, no longer the prosperous and lively place it once was.

This was the turning point in the Wang family's fate!

His father, until his death, could not forget this Guanghe Tower. Because of this, Wang Chong had returned to this place time and again, standing before the ruins of Guanghe Tower, reminiscing about the past.

"If that incident hadn't happened, everything would be different, right?"

Wang Chong thought to himself.

Now, everything had returned to the starting point. He finally had the chance to prevent this and save everything for his father. But his father would never know.

"Wang Chong, if you have the guts, follow me inside!"

On the other side, Ma Zhou had finished negotiating with the guards at Guanghe Tower and was angrily beckoning Wang Chong. The tower was currently under a no-entry order, except for people from the Yao family and the Prince of Qi.

However, Ma Zhou was different. He was Yao Guangyi's man and had connections with the guards. If Wang Chong could enter, it would only be through Ma Zhou.

"Afraid?"

Ma Zhou said coldly, fearing Wang Chong would back out.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense and lead the way."

Wang Chong said coldly.

From the timing, his father should already be inside Guanghe Tower. Whether he could succeed or not would depend on today. Taking a deep breath, Wang Chong, with Xiao Mei, quickly entered Guanghe Tower.

Only by truly entering Guanghe Tower could one understand how bustling and grand it was. Each floor had over two hundred seats, all filled.

Wang Chong could clearly see that most of the people were from Yao Guangyi and the Prince of Qi. A few were former followers of the Prince of Song.

In the matter of deceiving his father, these traitors to the Prince of Song were also "greatly responsible." Yao Guangyi had put a lot of effort into this.

However, Ma Zhou clearly didn't know this. He didn't see anything "different" and kept urging, fearing Wang Chong would back out.

"Come on! Hurry up!"

"Kid, you're not backing out, are you?"

...

Ma Zhou, having suffered such a great loss, was not about to let it go. He hoped to use Yao Feng's hands to teach Wang Chong a lesson.

"What are you rushing for? Do you think I'm afraid?"

Wang Chong pretended to be provoked, but inside, he was laughing coldly. It was fortunate that he had Ma Zhou's connection. If Ma Zhou knew what was happening inside Guanghe Tower, he wouldn't dare bring him here even if he had ten lives.

Lifting his robe, Wang Chong followed Ma Zhou upstairs.

A ruffian, two teenagers, and no one paid them any attention.
