Chapter 588: Pushing The Right Buttons

Eh?

Was the system trying to get him to compromise? Hell no!

They were both fellow Immortal Prime realm experts, so why would he have to grovel before the other party? He would have to beg and cajole the other party, and there was no way Wang Mang was going to do that for someone who was barely stronger than he was.

Hmph!

Was there even a need to ask what he would choose?

He would just f*cking kill this fellow!

There was no point in leaving future trouble behind for himself.

With this thought in mind, Wang Mang muttered, “System, 1 choose Mission 3!”

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]

This was the way to go. After all, it was more satisfying to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!

Moreover, he could join a first-rate force at any time.

At this moment, seeing that the other party was pretending not to know him, Wang Mang grinned. With a playful look, he asked, “What? Don’t you recognize me?”

Hearing Wang Mang’s words, Gongyang’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this kid had recognized him?

When he raised his head and saw Wang Mang looking at him with a playful gaze, Gongyang’s face immediately darkened.

Realizing that he had already been exposed, he decided to drop the act. He looked at Wang Mang with a twisted expression and gritted his teeth.

“You bastard! If you hadn’t framed me, how would 1 have ended up like this?”

“If it wasn’t for you, 1 would’ve been able to break through to Tier 5 long ago!”

“It’s all your fault! You ruined my chance to become a Tier 5 expert!”

If Wang Mang had not framed him, he would still be doing business at the rear entrance of Sacred Emperor Academy, and would likely have already accumulated enough resources to attempt a breakthrough to Tier 5.

In the end, thanks to Wang Mang, he had gone berserk, and killed students of the academy, forcing him to go on the run to avoid capture and punishment.

After leaving the Sacred Emperor Academy, his life had been a miserable one.

In the end, he ended up in Qingmu City, trapped in the Million Mountain Range.

When he heard these words, and saw the other party’s extremely resentful gaze, Wang Mang thought to himself that it was a close call!

Fortunately, he did not choose Mission 4. Given how angry this fellow was, reconciliation was impossible!

At the same time, he was glad that he had chosen to leave the Sage Emperor Continent back then. If he had stumbled upon this fellow while he was still an Immortal King realm expert, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Seeing how much the other party hated him, Wang Mang rolled his eyes, but also came up with a plan.

He said tauntingly, “Do you want to kill me?”

“Let me tell you! Ever since I kicked you out of the academy, my stall’s business has been booming!”

“Do you see my current strength? This is all thanks to me taking over your business. Without you, I wouldn’t have reached such heights.”

“Thank you, my friend.”

Speaking up to this point, Wang Mang had a look of deep emotion on his face.

After hearing the true reason for Wang Mang’s strength, Gongyang was even more infuriated. He was so angry that he could not speak. His face was red and twisted, and he looked especially scary.

Seeing this, Wang Mang could not help but laugh to himself. It seemed that his taunts were effective.

Then the next step would be easy. All he needed to do was to continue provoking him, and once it looked like this fellow could no longer tolerate it anymore, he would turn around and leave Qingmu City.

He was certain that Gongyang would follow suit and try to kill him.

With that thought in mind, Wang Mang glanced at Gongyang with disdain and sneered,

“How is it? Do you really want to kill me?”

“What a pity! You didn’t have the chance to kill me back then, and now you never will. Hahahaha!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mang laughed arrogantly and spat at Gongyang.

Bullseye!

He was too accurate!

The phlegm landed accurately on this guy’s face!

F*ck!

To be honest, Wang Mang had not aimed for Gongyang’s face on purpose. It was merely a coincidence!

Gongyang, who was already furious, instantly stiffened.

After regaining his senses, he instantly erupted on the spot. One had to remember that based on the incident back then, he was really someone with a short fuse.

He looked at Wang Mang with bloodshot eyes and roared, “Ahhhh! Little bastard! I’m going to kill you now!”
