Chapter 287 - I Have also Lost My Troops

Jiang Hao's words left Jiang Bodang alternating between shades of green and white.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Jiang Bodang spun on his heel and chased after his boss, Chief Du.

Jiang Hao watched Jiang Bodang dash off, a cold smirk playing on his lips before he dismissed the matter entirely.

……

Elsewhere, after pursuing his quarry, Jiang Bodang finally caught sight of the Mediterranean man outside the main entrance of the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern and called out with glee.

“Chief Du, Chief Du, hold on a second!”

Hearing the call, the Mediterranean man turned and gave Jiang Bodang a frosty stare. An eager Jiang Bodang hurried over.

“Director Du, Director Du!”

“When can we sign off on our hundred-million-yuan project?”

The Mediterranean man, unable to stomach Jiang Bodang's groveling demeanor any longer, lashed out with a slap!

”Smack!”

“Damn you, you imbecile, you dare bring this up?”

“Thanks to your idiocy today, I've made a terrible impression on Mr. Jiang!”

“If it weren't for Mr. Jiang's sake, I'd finish you off right here and now!”

“Who do you think you are?”

The Mediterranean man's tirade grew more heated, his hand poised to strike again.

Terrified, Jiang Bodang shielded his face and scurried away like a clown.

Disgusted by his pitiful display, the Mediterranean man couldn't be bothered to waste another moment and strode off.

In an instant, Jiang Bodang was left alone, hand over his face, standing in awkward silence.

His heart was heavy with despair, realizing his lack of foresight had led to a disastrous defeat.

Staring at the staircase, Jiang Bodang was consumed with regret, no longer possessing the courage to face Jiang Hao again.

……

Meanwhile, in the supreme section of the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern, the atmosphere at the grand dining table took on an eerie quality following Jiang Hao's departure.

Uncle Hai's face was etched with concern as he watched the Old Master seated at the head of the table intently.

He sensed a lethal threat emanating from the Old Master, a premonition born from the martial cultivator's sixth sense.

The Old Master, equally surprised, cast a glance at Uncle Hai.

As a seasoned martial cultivator, he too possessed an acute sixth sense, and he had recognized Uncle Hai as a fellow martial artist of considerable prowess.

Immediately, the Old Master's interest was piqued.

He had never encountered another martial cultivator besides Jiang Hao.

The thought of a friendly spar crossed his mind, and once it did, he couldn't suppress it.

Leaping to his feet, the Old Master gestured towards Uncle Hai.

“Young man, we seem to have a natural rapport. Since Hao Hao isn't here yet, why don't we step outside for a chat?”

The Old Master's suggestion took everyone by surprise.

Then, they all looked at the Old Master and Uncle Hai, perplexed.

At that moment, Jiang's father eyed the Old Master with confusion.

“Dad, do you know him?”

The same question lingered in the minds of everyone present. They all turned their gazes to the Old Master.

Without hesitation, the Old Master declared,

“I don't know him!”

A wave of silence swept through the crowd.

You don't know him, it's your first meeting, and there's been no prior interaction. How could there be an instant connection?

The room filled with curious glances towards the Old Master and Uncle Hai.

Uncle Hai, grasping the Old Master's intent, knew well that since his emergence as a martial cultivator, the Old Master was the first to pose a serious challenge.

He, too, was eager for a chance to spar with the Old Master.

But his current duty was to safeguard the Jade King, and with that responsibility weighing on him, he expressed his regret.

“Master Jiang, I'm truly flattered by your generous offer. I share your sentiment, but today I am tasked with ensuring the safety of our family head. Regrettably, I cannot leave without permission.”
