Chapter 27: Leaving Cooly

That was how Long Shen had gotten all of his fame and glory: it was due to Yao Shao and Lu Chen's foolishness and recklessness. But now, Lu Chen knew Yao Shao could work as a double edge sword in Long Shen's scheme. And this situation is the perfect place to put a little dent into his facade.

Long Shen makes a slightly disturbing look as he never expects Lu Chen to talk so calmly. But he quickly returns to his usual prince face, “Lu Chen, even though I am Yao Shao’s friend, but aren’t you overexaggerating our friendship. Even I can't tell what's he going to do next." The crowd nods, as that was also a plausible comeback. To say that Long Shen could predict Yao Shao’s every moment was impossible.

But Lu Chen smirks. You're screwed now. He knew Long Shen was going to say this as Lu Chen continues, "Of course you wouldn’t be able to predict what Yao Shao could do in the future. After all, you are not psychic. But I’m just curious when I was being ridiculed by Yao Shao, why didn’t you stop him earlier? Even if you can't predict his every move, you should at least know he has hostility with me. Instead, you let him continue to blabber on. Was that on purpose Long Shen?”

The moment Lu Chen said this, the customers were in deep thought about his comment. Some of them start to look at Long Shen with suspicion.

Huh, he could actually sweat. Lu Chen thought Long Shen was a robot that could hide his emotion. But Long Shen has some sweat forming on his face. I got him. Before Long Shen could say anything else, Lu Chen walks out of the restaurant. Lu Chen wasn't going to let Long Shen have the upper hand.

Before Lu Chen left the restaurant, he turns back to them,

"Oh yeah, forgot to say this. The only reason why I punched the drunk outside was that he slandered my friends.” Before Lu Chen continues, his voice turns to the same coldness growl of a predator as he stares at Long Shen, “Long Shen, I swear to you this. If I hear the drunk slandering my friends again, then I will personally make him have an intimate talk with the ground. It’s not a warning. It’s a threat.”

Saying his peace, Lu Chen walks away.

Lu Chen’s threat and tone made the people shiver that such a person could make such a clear threat without even flinching. Zhang Jian was also sitting there in shock and realizes Lu Chen had left him there. He immediately chases after him.

“Brother Chen, huff, wait up.” Zhang Jian was out of breath as he holds onto Lu Chen’s shoulder.

“Zhang Jian, you didn’t need to run to catch up to me. I was just walking.” Lu Chen shook his head at how overly dramatic Zhang Jian was.

Finishing catching up his breath, Zhang Jian smiles, “ If I didn’t catch up to you, I could have miss something fun.” What Lu Chen did in the restaurant was badass in his eyes. He was like the god of war, ready to smite his enemies down.

Lu Chen gives him a smirk, “What could I have done in the few minutes I walked out of the restaurant.” Even though Lu Chen said this, he felt very hyped from that incident. This was the first time that he ever talked back to Long Shen and smacked him down.

Like a child hype on sugar, Lu Chen wants to do more things; driving cars, fighting people, anything. But Lu Chen starts to take deep breaths as he knew that rushing headfirst into random activities would screw him over.

Before Lu Chen could think about what to do, Zhang Jian butts in, “Hey brother Chen, is it really true that you punched fatty Shao because of me?” Even though the two of them were best friends, during these few years, they have a little distance between the two of them due to Liu Fei Fei. But to see that Lu Chen actually punched someone for him, he couldn’t believe it.
