Chapter 43

In a grand hall with imposing momentum.

The lighting was dim.

A tall and strong man sat on the throne, exuding authority without anger.

Iron Lump King walked into the hall from a distant door, stopped far away, and knelt on one knee.

"Iron Lump King pays respects to the Master!"

The imposing man did not speak, but a scholar-like figure walked out from the side, fanning himself and calmly said, "Young Master is currently in the Snow City of the Northern Country, encountering a bit of resistance. He needs your assistance."

The man lifted his head in great surprise: "Young Master is a genius, always winning in battles and sieges. How could he encounter resistance?"

"Even tigers have their moments of drowsiness. Go. Help Young Master unify the four major families of Snow City, and thereby rule the Northern Country. This will be a great achievement for you."

"Yes! Thank you, Military Advisor and Master for your trust. I will do my utmost to assist Young Master! But... it is said that Young Master is elusive, and I do not know his appearance. How can I identify him?"

"Simple. The one who is charming, steals beauty, is surrounded by women, and excels at showing off is Young Master himself. Remember this well."

"Yes! Thank you, Military Advisor and Master for your trust. I will do my utmost to assist Young Master!"

"Remember, Young Master likes to show off subtly. You must leave all the glory to Young Master and avoid using force unless absolutely necessary. He is currently competing with a young master of a local family. You must act naturally and smoothly to gain Young Master's favor."

"Thank you, Military Advisor. I will keep this in mind!"

...

Snow City.

Lu Chengwen and Xu Xuejiao were eating ice cream.

"Hey, are you really going to get engaged to Leng Qingqiu?"

Lu Chengwen didn't bother to respond: "Engaged? What a joke. The situation is a bit out of control now."

Xu Xuejiao giggled: "Hey, why don't you get engaged to me!"

Lu Chengwen looked up at this little vixen.

"Big sister, are you still messing with me? I warn you not to push your luck. I have a temper too!"

Xu Xuejiao laughed uncontrollably: "Then... be my boyfriend."

Lu Chengwen smiled: "Sure, come to my place tonight, wear a JK uniform, the kind that's easy to take off. See if I don't deal with you."

"Go to hell!"

Xu Xuejiao blushed: "You're so improper."

Lu Chengwen said: "Let me make it clear. I'm doing this project to lose money. I didn't ask you to follow, but you all invested 50 or 100 billion. Don't come to me when you lose money. It's your own decision, and you should take responsibility."

Xu Xuejiao huffed: "You would do a losing business? I don't believe it. If you, Lu Chengwen, are willing to invest 50 billion, you can definitely make 100 billion. Do you think I don't know you?"

"You really don't know me." Lu Chengwen said: "In the past, I only cared about money, not righteousness. Now, my soul has transcended to a level similar to a sage. I just want the world to be full of love and leave a beautiful world behind. I don't care how much money I lose."

"Oh, you're really shameless. If you say this to anyone in Snow City, ask them if they believe you."

Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated, eating his ice cream.

Xu Xuejiao went to pay the bill.

This was a trivial matter, and Lu Chengwen didn't bother to argue with her.

But soon, an argument broke out.

Xu Xuejiao was arguing with a man.

"How can you be so despicable? Despicable man!"

"Little girl, speak politely, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lu Chengwen quickly went over and pushed the man: "What's going on?"

Xu Xuejiao said: "He cut in line! I said something, and he insulted me!"

Lu Chengwen shook his head at the man: "Cutting in line is already very impolite, and you insult people? Do you have any manners? Have you learned the five principles and four virtues?"

Xu Xuejiao said: "Brother Chengwen, don't waste time with him. Have your lackeys beat him up!"

At this moment, Zhao Gang came out from a booth and pushed the man's arm: "Kid, are you looking for a fight?"

To Zhao Gang's surprise, this guy had excellent physical condition! A push that would normally send someone flying, but this guy didn't budge at all!

While Zhao Gang was stunned, a few more people surrounded them, clearly outnumbering them!

Zhao Gang was not one to back down.

"Damn! Lu Chengwen and Miss Xu are eating ice cream here. Who dares to step forward?"

Four people stepped forward.

"Oh, so there's no negotiation? According to the rules, let's have a one-on-one!"

Zhao Gang roared.

The four people, expressionless, glanced at each other, their eyes filled with a hint of mockery and disdain.

Lu Chengwen felt something was wrong.

From Zhao Gang's brief surprise, Lu Chengwen deduced that these people were not easy to deal with.

Lu Chengwen quickly said: "Forget it, they look like outsiders. Zhao Gang, let's pay and leave."

"Yes."

Zhao Gang, who knew the gravity of the situation, knew that he couldn't handle even one of these people.

So he quickly complied.

Xu Xuejiao disagreed: "Hey! He just insulted me, and he hasn't apologized yet!"

Lu Chengwen, hugging Xu Xuejiao, laughed: "Forget it, I'll apologize to you. I'm sorry."

"I won't! No one has ever dared to insult me. Why should they? Are you afraid of them because they are many?"

At this moment, a big, dark-faced man stood up from a seat, turned around, and said: "Who is it? You're disturbing my meal!"

Seeing this man, Lu Chengwen's heart sank.

Oh no, not him!

Iron Lump King!?

This character is supposed to appear much later in the story!

He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of a border squad in the Northern Country, extremely powerful and domineering, loyal to Long Aotian, and willing to face any danger.

How could he appear so early?

Not good! I need to think of a way to get out of here quickly!

Xu Xuejiao angrily said: "They are your subordinates, right? You should manage them. They cut in line and insulted me!"

"Ha ha ha!"

The dark-faced man laughed and walked over: "Sorry, cutting in line is a daily routine for us, and insulting people is second nature. And we also like to beat people up."

Xu Xuejiao angrily said: "You beat me? You dare! My boyfriend is Lu Chengwen, the young master of the Lu family. In Snow City, only he bullies others, and no one dares to bully him or his girlfriend!"

Lu Chengwen quickly covered Xu Xuejiao's mouth and laughed: "Let's pay, Zhao Gang!"

Zhao Gang quickly took out 2000 yuan and threw it on the counter: "No change needed."

Lu Chengwen pulled Xu Xuejiao out, saying: "Goodbye, goodbye."

Xu Xuejiao pushed Lu Chengwen away: "Lu Chengwen! Didn't you see them bullying me?"

Lu Chengwen thought, Big sister, I can't explain this to you. This situation is not simple, and I might end up in trouble here.

"I know, I know. Let's talk about it later."

At this moment, Iron Lump King laughed: "Stop!"

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth:

"Damn! He noticed us!"

Iron Lump King laughed and walked over: "This girl looks pretty."

The four big men laughed together: "This girl is pretty."

"Who would have thought that on my first day here, I would meet such a beautiful and cute girl. Ha ha ha, the Northern Country is indeed full of beautiful women!"

The four big men said in unison: "The Northern Country is full of beautiful women!"

Xu Xuejiao looked at him: "Have some shame. What does it have to do with you that the Northern Country has many beautiful women? You look like five ghosts. Just looking at you can make someone lose their appetite for three days. In the future, stay away from women, trash!"

Iron Lump King laughed: "Violent girl, ha ha ha, I like it!"

The four big men said in unison: "Violent girl, I like it!"

Xu Xuejiao felt these people were crazy: "Are you four parrots?"

Lu Chengwen leaned in to Xu Xuejiao: "These people are not easy to deal with. Let's go."

Xu Xuejiao said: "If you want to go, go. They won't apologize, and this matter won't be over."

Lu Chengwen nodded: "Alright, I'll go first. We'll talk later."

Xu Xuejiao watched as Lu Chengwen really turned and left, feeling both surprised and angry.

Iron Lump King reached out and grabbed Xu Xuejiao's wrist: "Ha ha ha, little girl, come with me and have some fun, ha ha ha..."

At this moment, Lu Chengwen stood at the door: "Iron Lump King, let her go, damn it!"

Iron Lump King was surprised that this young man could call his name and subconsciously let go of Xu Xuejiao's wrist.

"You are..."

Lu Chengwen was at a loss.

His mind raced.

According to the plot, the Four Heavenly Kings had never met Long Aotian and didn't know he was using the name "Long Aotian" here.

Their organization was very mysterious, and they barely knew each other.

He dared to tease Xu Xuejiao, the main female character, which means he hadn't met Long Aotian yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare even with a thousand lives.

This means he just arrived in Snow City and hasn't figured out the situation yet.

Lu Chengwen's heart was pounding, but he remained calm on the surface.

He lifted his chin slightly and looked at Iron Lump King coldly.

Lu Chengwen slowly walked in, approached Iron Lump King, and stared directly into his eyes.

Iron Lump King was suddenly unsure.

This guy... his steps, breath, and posture... don't seem like he knows martial arts. Why... does he have such a presence?

Iron Lump King raised an eyebrow: "Who are you?"

"Who am I?"

During the struggle, Zhao Gang's wrist was grabbed by one of Iron Lump King's subordinates and now felt a dull pain. He rolled up his sleeve and saw it was red and swollen.

Zhao Gang, who was quick-witted, now realized: These people are martial artists, and they are hard to deal with. If I go up, I'll be taken down in one move.

What to do? I can't panic, absolutely can't panic. Mr. Lu is facing them off.

I need to... think of a way! They are many and are martial artists...

Lu Chengwen looked at Iron Lump King and laughed coldly: "Who am I?"

He turned around and laughed at Xu Xuejiao and Zhao Gang: "This fool is asking who I am? Ha ha ha ha!"

Iron Lump King's subordinates were about to attack Lu Chengwen but were stopped by Iron Lump King.

Iron Lump King narrowed his eyes: "Young man, may I ask your name and if we have any past connection?"

Lu Chengwen turned around, hands behind his back, and looked at Iron Lump King: "I am a mighty war god
