Sun Tianfei looked at Er Qi with a hostile gaze.
"Er Qi, your Sui City Branch really seems to be getting more and more impressive, of course, I'm referring to your verbal skills. People from Sui City really are just as others say: all talk and no action." Sun Tianfei snorted coldly.
Er Qi narrowed his eyes, thinking: Sun Tianfei, it seems you won't stop until you're beaten.
"Now who's all talk? If you want a fight, let's fight, move!" Er Qi pointed towards the cleared space over there.
"I'm not scared of you!"
Many were excited in their hearts. Whether it was Sun Tianfei or Er Qi, both were late-stage Cultivators, which were considered to be among the most powerful forces of the Defense Bureau. Of course, there might be even stronger Cultivators in the Defense Bureau, but they simply did not know about them.
"That's enough!" Just as the two were about to challenge each other, an unhappy reprimanding voice echoed throughout the hall.
Hearing this voice, Tang Rao recognized it immediately—it was none other than Tian Qiang from earlier.
"This is a banquet, an occasion for socializing and enjoying fine food and wine. Fighting and killing—beyond these, what else do you know? You resort to violence at the first disagreement, what kind of behavior is that! All of you need to control yourselves better, what on earth is this!" Tian Qiang started to lecture the group of Cultivators.
Indeed, Tian Qiang looked down on Cultivators. In his eyes, Cultivators were just a bunch of Barbarians, always fighting.
Does this world belong to you Cultivators? No! The true rulers of this world are us ordinary people, the people within the political system.
Everyone was disgruntled. What's all this about Cultivators only knowing how to fight and kill? Why don't you mention how your politicians only know how to plot against each other?
Don't act as if you're so noble.
But at this moment, no one spoke up, because Tian Qiang was a supervisor, and he wielded significant power within the Defense Bureau.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I just can't stand this kind of talk." Others might not speak out, but that didn't mean Tang Rao wouldn't.
Tian Qiang, Tang Rao had long found him extremely unpleasant.
"It's you again!" Tian Qiang turned to Tang Rao with a look of anger.
Just as Tang Rao couldn't stand Tian Qiang, the feeling was mutual.
What infuriated Tian Qiang even more was that Er Qi completely ignored his earlier words. When I left, I had tasked you with teaching this kid a lesson, but instead, Er Qi, you did nothing and even brought him here.
What is this? A challenge to me?
"Yeah, it's me." Tang Rao nodded, "Supervisor Tian Qiang, you need to apologize to me for what you just said."
Everyone looked at Tang Rao, some as if he were a fool, others as if looking at a hero.
"Apologize?" Tian Qiang's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, apologize, not only to me but to every Cultivator present," said Tang Rao, nodding. "You must retract those insulting remarks you made about Cultivators just now."
"You people deserve an apology from me?" Tian Qiang said with a dark face.
Hearing Tian Qiang's words, the expressions on the Cultivators present changed again.
"Bang!" Tang Rao's face did not darken; instead, he rushed forward, grabbed Tian Qiang's head, and slammed it hard onto the wine table.
"Apologize to us!" Tang Rao's voice was icy cold.
Tian Qiang screamed incoherently.
"Damn it, do you know what you're doing! You trash, what are you standing there for, take him down! No, kill him on the spot!" Tian Qiang roared loudly.
However, not a single person moved, not even Sun Tianfei.
Even more so, Sun Tianfei inwardly admired Tang Rao. No matter what personal grudges there were between them, Tian Qiang's words were simply too damn disgraceful.
Tang Rao could stand up in this situation, something no one else present could do.
"Do you know why we can become Cultivators?" Tang Rao asked.
Tian Qiang just screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Keep it down!" Tang Rao grabbed Tian Qiang's head and then slammed it hard on the table.
Tian Qiang immediately shut up.
Everyone else was also frightened by Tang Rao's thunderous methods.
"The reason we can become Cultivators is not that we have simple minds and developed limbs. It's because we are smarter than you, more capable of penetrating the essence of this world; it's because we have more talent, more in tune with the development of the times," Tang Rao said indifferently.
The Cultivators around all cheered for Tang Rao in secret.
"Also, what do you mean by saying we only know how to fight and kill? Without us fighting and killing, could you sit here safe and sound, acting all pompous and badass? Without us maintaining the order and safety of Blue Star, do you really think you'd be here yelling at me? Not to mention the coveting eyes of the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, even the uptick of Cultivator riots on Blue Star alone would be enough to wipe you out hundreds, if not thousands of times," Tang Rao said while patting Tian Qiang's head, his eyes unfriendly.
"Well said!" Er Qi shouted in support. He had been displeased with that trash Tian Qiang for a long time.
"I'm convinced!" What surprised Tang Rao was that Sun Tianfei also stood up, his eyes darkly glaring at Tian Qiang.
It was clear that in the eyes of the Defense Bureau's Cultivators, Tian Qiang really didn't have a shred of popularity.
"Tang Laosan, let me go, let me go first, I apologize," Tian Qiang suddenly softened.
Tang Rao knew very well that Tian Qiang was just playing for time.
"If that's the case, then that's fine," Tang Rao said.
Hearing Tang Rao's words, Tian Qiang's eyes showed a trace of malice and disdain, You're smart? I can only laugh.
"Do you think I'm too naive? That I would let you go just because you say a few words?" Tang Rao leaned in and asked beside Tian Qiang's head.
Tian Qiang's expression solidified a bit.
"Do you think, once I let you go, you'd have the guards use Super Technology Weapons against me?" Tang Rao said again.
Tian Qiang's face grew darker and darker, how did Tang Laosan know what he was thinking...
"But, I will still let you go," Tang Rao said with a smile, "If you like, you can also get the guards to use Super Technology Weapons against me. But the consequences, well, you might have to bear them. By that time, I won't give up fighting back, on the contrary, I'll do everything I can. This building, probably shouldn't even think about surviving, after all, the destructive power of a Cultivator's battle is very strong."
Many people took a deep breath, this Tang Laosan was simply too resolute.
With that said, Tian Qiang wouldn't dare fuck around, he simply couldn't bear that responsibility.
"Alright, I've let you go now," Tang Rao laughed once, immediately releasing the hand pressing on Tian Qiang's head, and then stepped back two steps.
Tian Qiang stood up, eyes full of raging fury and wild malice.
"Don't just stand there, apologize. If you don't apologize, I'll still beat you up," Tang Rao said with a smile.
Tian Qiang was nearly driven mad, yet he controlled himself fiercely.
Yes, he was threatened by Tang Rao's words just now.
If he triggered the guards to use Super Technology Weapons, if he couldn't kill Tang Laosan, this guy would definitely retaliate, and by then, if the entire building were destroyed, he would be to blame.
