Chapter 1073 - 1072: Face Will Still Be Given
"How did I give him face?" Su Yang spoke calmly, "He wanted me to release these people, but he doesn’t show up himself and only sends you to talk to me, which is a sign of disrespect. Given the circumstances, I can’t afford to give him face. If I gave him face, what about my own? Don’t forget, when Zhao Dongming wanted me to release people, he personally made the trip."
"What’s Zhao Dongming compared to our Brother Wu?" a student shouted, blatantly trying to flatter Wu Feizhi.
Before Su Yang could respond, Xie Kuang slapped the student across the face.
"Shut up!" Xie Kuang roared. Although he didn’t really regard Zhao Dongming highly, such words couldn’t be spoken outright in public. After all, that was the disciple of the Martial Champion, the leader among the youth of Capital City. If these words got out, wouldn’t they be clashing with Zhao Dongming too early?
The senior class was currently a balance between four major forces, and everyone was coexisting peacefully for the time being. No one wanted to make enemies or confront others prematurely, as it would give others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Xie Kuang’s slap was so powerful that the student was sent flying, fainting on the spot. The others were terrified, shivering, and no one dared to speak again.
Xie Kuang glared at Su Yang angrily. Su Yang’s words were practically a heart-piercing stab.
Zhao Dongming personally made a visit, and Su Yang then released the young masters of Capital City. This time, Wu Feizhi just sent him, and if Su Yang released these people, it would be a blatant disregard for Zhao Dongming. If that happened, Zhao Dongming would also be implicated, which would mean that Wu Feizhi had provoked both men at once, not the outcome Wu Feizhi wanted.
Even though Xie Kuang was feeling angry and unwilling, he eventually had to swallow his pride.
"Su Yang, I’ll only say this once!" Xie Kuang said icily, "These people are all under Brother Wu!"
"Brother Wu really looks after a wide range!" Su Yang commented, "Having so many subordinates in the senior class isn’t enough, he’s even taking care of the junior class. There are only about a hundred spots for moving up from the junior to the senior class. By doing this, is Brother Wu suggesting that some of my brothers don’t need to advance to the senior class?"
