Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wang Mang was overjoyed.

He had finally accumulated enough energy points to evolve again!

After snapping back to his senses, Wang Mang patted Guang Liang’s shoulder and chuckled.

“Ahahaha! Good! I hope it is really as Brother Guangliang said.”

Guang Liang shook his head helplessly, knowing that Wang Mang did not take his words seriously. However, in reality, being placed in charge of the East Gate was truly a big deal.

At least from Guang Liang’s perspective, there were not many people with a higher status than Wang Mang. After exchanging pleasantries, both of them parted ways and left the East City Lord’s Mansion.

Wang Mang then headed to the East Gate to claim his position.

Ten minutes later, near a huge city gate outside a majestic mansion.

Wang Mang walked to the vicinity of the mansion with his hands behind his back. Just as he was about to enter the mansion, he was stopped.

The two Earth Immortal realm guards said expressionlessly, “This is the residence of the general guarding the East Gate.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang showed them the green token in his hand.

When the two guards saw the token, they were shocked.

Then, they quickly reacted and said respectfully in a low voice, “Greetings to the new General of the East Gate!”

Wang Mang nodded and grunted in satisfaction. After putting away the token, he walked into the mansion. This mansion was inferior in terms of size compared to the Dragon Might Palace, but the interior and exterior was much better.

Ten minutes later, Wang Mang had a rough look around the mansion and was satisfied. He then decided to rest and organize his gains. He would take office tomorrow, which meant that it would be a busy day, understanding his role and responsibilities.

However, just as Wang Mang was about to enter the residence’s seclusion room, a servant ran over.

“Milord, the second young master of the Chen family is already in the hall. Please meet with him.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang frowned and asked, “What’s going on with the Chen family?”

The old servant was momentarily stunned, then quickly explained,

“Milord, the Chen family is one of the five great clans of Qingmu City!”

“In addition, the Chen family’s headquarters is also near the eastern part of the city. Even the East City Lord has to be polite to the Chen family.”

“So, Sir, you must not offend the Chen family!”

After hearing this servant’s words, Wang Mang finally understood what was going on. It seemed that he could not afford to offend the Chen family. The Chen family was also a first-rate force, and had at least three Tier 5 experts. Thinking this, Wang Mang said, “Lead the way!”

“Milord, this way please!”

The old servant respectfully walked toward the hall.

As soon as Wang Mang entered the hall, he saw a young man with an arrogant expression. The other party was sitting cross-legged and munching on an unknown fruit.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mang’s heart sank. This fellow was obviously not going to take him seriously.

At this moment, the young man, Chen Kun, sized up Wang Mang and lazily said, “You must be the new general in charge of the East Gate, right?”

“You’ll have to pay back the immortal stones that the previous general owed me.”

“Is there a problem with this, Mr. New General?”

At this point, the young man’s gaze focused on Wang Mang.

To be honest, if possible, Wang Mang really wanted to slap him.

This dog was too f*cking arrogant! What a spoiled brat!

Also, there was no way that Wang Mang would pay off a debt that was unrelated to him. Heck, he might not even pay off his own debt!

Therefore, Wang Mang bluntly said, “You can go collect your immortal stones from whoever that was.”

“I’m in this position to earn money, not to pay off debts!”

“Am 1 being clear enough? Do you need me to repeat myself?”

At this point, Wang Mang looked at Chen Kun indifferently and narrowed his eyes.

Chen Kun was stunned by these words.

Then, he slowly sat up and looked at Wang Mang with a cold and unfriendly gaze. Some random new general was getting all uppity and dared to speak to him like that?

Unacceptable!

Unfortunately, no matter how he glared at Wang Mang, it was useless. Wang Mang remained expressionless the entire time.

This immediately made Chen Kun erupt with rage.

“You motherfucker, how dare you talk to me like that!”

“You don’t know how to appreciate favors! Do you know who 1 am?”

Despite the young man’s outburst, Wang Mang merely laughed.

This guy was just a hedonistic son of a rich family. This fellow was not even an Immortal Prime realm expert yet, but somehow dared to come over and threaten him.

If all of the descendants of the Chen family were like this, then the family’s decline was inevitable.

Wang Mang shook his head. He was not someone that could be easily bullied.

He said coldly, “1 don’t need to know who you are. You are just a piece of trash relying on your family’s power. You don’t have the right to threaten me!”

“Get lost!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mang’s figure flashed, and one second later, a loud slap was heard.

Pa!

At the same time, there was a scream as Chen Kun was sent flying by Wang Mang’s slap.

At this moment, Chen Kun was covering his face in pain.

He looked at Wang Mang with both shock and anger and roared, “How dare you attack me! You’re dead!”

“This isn’t over! I will never let you off!”

After saying that, Chen Kun covered his face angrily, got up from the ground, and turned to leave.

Wang Mang was surprised to see this. This fellow was quite resilient despite being a fool. However, Wang Mang was not about to let things end like this. He knew that he had to control this guy!

Otherwise, he would probably be in trouble.

With that thought, killing intent surged across Wang Mang’s eyes, and he said coldly, “Stop right there! Did 1 allow you to leave?”
