"No... No... They… they're not... not mine!"
The young boy tried to scream and tell everyone that these monster crystal coins were not his. But in pain, his voice was so indistinct that it was difficult to understand. And with the anger of the people who were going to believe him, no one thought to listen to him.
"Wait a minute, Shopkeeper!"
But suddenly, Zheng-Fu, who was standing there smiling, let out a call to stop the steamed bun shopkeeper before the middle-aged man smashed the boy.
Huh...?
"Young Master, do you have anything else to say?" The shopkeeper knew that Zheng-Fu was definitely a wealthy person, so he respectfully called Zheng-Fu 'Young Master.'
"Don't hurt him. He might have been mistaken and thus did this. Anyway, the money for your bun can be taken from the monster crystal coins that fall there. Let the matter end," Zheng-Fu put on a smile like a protagonist begging softly but hid his force energy, pressing on the shopkeeper to stop him from beating this youth.
"I… I… Alright, as Young Master said. I won't hold a grudge against this youngster," the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before saying yes and walking to pick up the monster crystal coins that fell there. Then he turned to look at the youth and said, "It's your luck that this young master begged me.
Otherwise, I'll definitely break your arms and legs!" When the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked back into his shop.
As for the others who came to look in, seeing that the story was over and there was nothing to snoop into anymore, they dispersed, leaving behind only Zheng-Fu and the youth and also a group of prime disciples who stood watching from a distance. They did not worry that Zheng-Fu would face any problems.
"Yo!"
After everyone had gone, Zheng-Fu walked closer to the boy and let out a sneering greeting with a satisfied smile that he had successfully teased this boy.
"Yo to your father! You're the one who did all of this, right!?" The boy was furious when he saw Zheng-Fu's face clearly. He knew that it was Zheng-Fu's actions that caused such a thing to happen.
"Maybe yes? Or maybe not? It's up to you to think. Ha ha ha!" Zheng-Fu said as if accepting but denying it at the same time before laughing happily.
"You!"
"Come on, don't think too much... By the way, when are you going to quit lying down and struggling? Just by being dealt with like that, there's no way someone like you can be in pain. A guy who is at the ninth level of the Immortal cultivator gets hurt by this little energy. It doesn't make sense at all."
Huh...?
As soon as the youth heard Zheng-Fu's words, from the figure stuck to the ground, he immediately jumped up and took a prepared stance, along with tensing energy to cover himself. He stared at Zheng-Fu before saying, "How did you know!?" His brows furrowed tightly.
At the same time, the prime disciples, who had been waiting, seeing the boy posing his stance and releasing his energy, suddenly rushed in front of Zheng-Fu.
"Huh! Just the Immortal martial masters at the primary and intermediate level thinking of fighting with me?" the youth immediately sneered and insulted them as he saw the prime disciples rushing forward in front of Zheng-Fu.
"You!"
This youth's words made the faces of the ten prime disciples look absolutely hideous in anger because they were older but had less energy than the younger kid. But the truth was the truth; that they were weaker than him.
"You guys back off. I'll handle it myself," Zheng-Fu, standing behind them, let out a loud noise before slowly walking past them, stopping and smiling at the youth as if nothing had happened.
'Why isn't he feeling anything? Even though I've released a lot of pressure on him?' the youth was very suspicious of Zheng-Fu's comfortable expression, as he did not feel anything, though he had already released as much pressure and psychic killing as he could.
"You must be wondering why I feel nothing, even though you put so much pressure on me, right?" Zheng-Fu's voice suddenly rang out as the youth thought and figured out the real reason.
Ah!!!
"Who are you?" At this moment, the youth had already begun to feel his insecurities, so he thought of retreating from here as quickly as possible. But before he left, he was very curious about who Zheng-Fu was, so he shouted out and stared at Zheng-Fu with inexplicable eyes.
"Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you tell me your name first? Who are you and where do you come from!?" Zheng-Fu did not answer but instead asked the question.
"I'm… I'm… I'm... You don't need to know who I am!" The youth seemed like he was about to speak, but in the end, he refused to say who he was.
"Then you don't even need to know who I am," Zheng-Fu replied to the youth with a sly smirk on the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, the previously curious crowd returned to see what had happened. They remembered the faces of the youth and Zheng-Fu well, but what shocked them was that the youth, who had acted as a weak person earlier, now looked extremely strong.
"Isn't that the kid who stole the bun?"
"Hey! Is he a cultivator!?"
"Damn it, it's so bad... At this age, he shouldn't be a scammer at all. Fortunately, the guys from Beyond Earth Sect were here and exposed him. Otherwise, we'd have been deceived by him for sure."
"Yes, that's right!"
After the crowd started to come in, the conversation started too. The guards stationed not far away, including Hai-Dong's group, all headed this way because they could feel the youth's energy waves.
'Damn it! If I leave it like this, it must be bad. From what I sense, many strong, high-level Immortal men are coming here. Even the guys at the Immortal Soul stage are also coming. I should escape from here now,' the youth began to assess the situation and thought that if he stayed here longer, he would only have more trouble, so he thought of fleeing.
However, the escape route was completely closed, so his only option was to break through.
But with his nervousness and paranoia towards Zheng-Fu, he still did not dare to move. He still did not know the true level of Zheng-Fu. Anyway, it would not be possible to wait any longer. And just as he was about to decide to break through, Zheng-Fu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Thinking of leaving?"
Ah!!!
Zheng-Fu's short words made the youth's entire body tremble. Because these short words were like thorns that pierced his heart. And his overly anxious thoughts caused Zheng-Fu's words to have a huge impact on him.
"If... I... I say... say yes, then why!? If I'd like to go, who can stop me?" the youth still gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, replying to Zheng-Fu with a fierce expression.
"Of course, no one will stop you. If you want to leave here, you can go."
Huh...?
Zheng-Fu's words made the youth feel surprised again. He did not think that Zheng-Fu would not only not stop him, but he would just let him go. That was very different from what he had imagined. But as he was smiling in satisfaction, Zheng-Fu's voice rose again.
"But… If you dare to come back and think badly of the people here again, even you or those who are behind you, I, 'Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu' will wipe them all out!"
Groan!!!
Groan!!!
This time, Zheng-Fu's words were not just ordinary words like before; they were filled with strong energy waves, pressure, and psychic killing that shook the entire city.
Argh!
With just a light touch, the young man immediately spat out blood, his face was visibly pale because of the fear of Zheng-Fu's frightening energy. Even all the martial masters within the city were terrified.
Anyone who had the energy level from the Immortal stage or above would all be affected by Zheng-Fu's sound waves, except for those who were at a lower level and those whom Zheng-Fu intentionally did not want to be affected by it; they would only hear the normal voice of speech.
"He... he… he is Young Master Zheng-Fu of the Tian-Tang Clan?"
"That's why he has the bodyguards as the disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect."
"This is the real Young Master Zheng-Fu, right? He looked very different from the rumors."
After knowing the truth, the surrounding people, who were not affected, immediately discussed Zheng-Fu's true identity. Almost all of them had never met the real Zheng-Fu before; they were only aware of many rumors coming from various directions.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Little Brother, what happened?"
"Master!"
At that moment, Hai-Dong and Ming-Mu's group arrived, immediately asking what had happened and why Zheng-Fu's voice was suddenly resounding throughout the city like this.
After seeing Hai-Dong coming, Zheng-Fu suppressed his energy and turned to Hai-Dong, who was walking towards him, saying, "It's nothing, Big Brother. I just want to tell and warn people who think badly of us. Nothing more than that." He smiled at Hai-Dong.
Argh!
"It's you!? Is... is that you?" However, the incident turned out to contrast with Zheng-Fu's words. The boy, who had just become conscious, spoke up with difficulty, pointing at Zheng-Fu as if he had understood something.
"Who is he, Little Brother?" Hai-Dong saw the youth and immediately asked.
"He? I don't know... He doesn't tell me who he is. He could be someone from any sect or from any cult that comes to visit this city and happens to want to have an issue with someone he shouldn't be involved with," Zheng-Fu replied to Hai-Dong.
Huh...?
"Um... Since you don't want to say it, that's fine. Whenever you want to talk, just tell me," Hai-Dong knew that Zheng-Fu did not want to talk too much, so he did not ask further.
"Okay, Big Brother." Zheng-Fu understood Hai-Dong's feelings of concern for him and his curiosity, but he did not want to say much right now, as he knew that many people were eavesdropping.
He then turned to the youth who was standing there staring at him in fear and said, "You can go, but don't forget my words. Otherwise, what you will get is more than what you've realized today," Zheng-Fu finished saying, then did nothing but stand still and stare at the youth until the youth left, without anyone blocking his way.
