Chapter 189: Knee And Shin
Chen Yan swaggered away after sticking in a few more threats, smiling and whistling all the way. From the beginning to the conclusion of their conversation, his mood didn’t seem to have changed for one moment.
Even back on Earth, Han Xuhan had not met many opponents in ground-level politics with such a demeanor. The sheer firm calmness behind Chen Yan’s smiling eyes was frightening in its own way.
This feeling was one of the main reasons why he had to relent to the demand. He was cornered from every direction, outsmarted in every aspect, and incapable of fighting with other elements like personal strength or allies.
"You guys sure are audacious. I’ll remember your faces, you know?" Han Xuhan said, surveying the group of four junior disciples who had come with Chen Yan.
"You? Trying to threaten us? Hah!" One of them scoffed, shaking his head as if it was the most ridiculous concept he could imagine.
"Well, he’s a dreamer, alright. He did dream big and make these big plans, no?" The only female disciple of the group said in a mocking tone of praise.
"Lowlife scammers like you should know better than to run their mouths uselessly. I’ll ask Brother Yan to teach you some humility when you’re in the presence of your superiors."
"What superiors?" Han Xuhan said, partly confused, partly amused by the poorly thought-out bullying attempt.
His response was like oil being added into the fire of their passion.
"Han Xuhan, you entered this sect as a damned servant disciple. It’s already insulting enough to us that we have to attend lectures alongside you these days. Know your damn place!"
"Who told you to go out of your way to mess with us? Look at you now! Hahaha!"
