Chapter 556 - 176 Chen Jie: Nan Batian, you look like a dog!
Outside Mianshui City, a small grove.
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, warming everyone, yet Nan Batian’s heart was chillingly cold.
He felt like a foolish pig, who had plunged headfirst into a trap devised by Chen Jie, and had become the laughingstock of all the heroes in Mianshui County.
To kowtow and apologize to a bunch of low-born people, who were no better than pigs and dogs, was humiliation, a great and bizarre humiliation!
But he had no other choice, as he had been cornered. Look, Chen Jiusi was watching him, eyeing him with those cunning eyes.
He was too cunning, too despicable – how could he have fallen for his tricks!
Then he looked around at the various heroes from Mianshui County, Liu Laoguai, his old rival, who was now grinning from ear to ear, taking such joy in his misfortune. Yes, he was Chen Jiusi’s accomplice; they were in cahoots.
And those, who would call him Guild Leader Nan on any normal day, now hid and whispered among themselves. Seeing them like that, Nan Batian wished he could stomp them into the ground.
Then, there was Yelu – yes, our Lord Yelu, still so solemn yet cold, no trace of pity in those eyes, only compulsion.
Indeed, compulsion to trade his dignity for the other’s stable rule.
