“… …”

“Ah, do you mind if I finish your cake?” Allen grinned and changed the subject abruptly. Although he doesn’t like Xue Cangzhan, the gaze he felt from behind him was extremely uncomfortable!

He doesn’t need to know whose gaze it was because this feeling was extremely familiar. This is none other than Xue Ling.

A little startled at the change in conversation, Xue Cangzhan said quickly, “No, of course not. Take it if you wish.”

Allen lit up and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared.

He appeared in Xue Cangzhan’s study and took the tray with the cake on it and disappeared once again.

“You want one?” Allen took a spoonful and asked Xue Ling who was looking at him with a strange expression.

Xue Ling shook her head.

Allen shrugs and ate it. “Don’t you like chocolate cake?” His black eyes were inquisitive.

Xue Ling looked at him suspiciously.

“Oh, you needn’t be afraid that I’m asking with bad intentions. I just wanted to know as a matter of interest.”

“As if I believe you…” Xue Ling smiled.

“You smiled.” Allen felt happy after seeing her smile. It means that her impression of him somewhat improved.

“I did not,” Xue Ling denied sharply.

“Hahaha, you certainly did.” Allen laughed as he started walking away.  Allen chased the last crumb of cake around the dish and then throws it away together with the tray.

He then turned towards Xue Cangzhan.

“Xue Cangzhan, in behalf of your daughter, I will forget this incident. I just hope that you will learn a lesson from this.” Allen had acted arrogantly, but he knew when to stop. It wasn’t good to push people too far.

In any case, Allen was certain that even if he waited until forever, Xue Cangzhan won’t lower himself and apologize.

Humans like them, who stands at the top think themselves superior and infallible. Their ‘face’was much more important to them than their own life.

If Allen stubbornly asked for recompense, he would only be driving Xue Cangzhan into a corner, creating a rift that would never be able to close up. If that happens, a new hatred on top of an old one will appear.

Of course, Allen was never afraid. But even still, what about Xue Ling?

If he did so, his relationship with Xue Ling will certainly worsen. That’s what Allen wanted to avoid.

So, he compromised! One must know when to stop…

In any case, he had already revealed his power. If Xue Cangzhan wasn’t an idiot, then he wouldn’t dare antagonize him again.

Furthermore, he had already achieved what he came here to do.

Setting his prestige.

He came here to show his power. Especially in front of all these stubborn old men.

Now, if their intelligence is not that of a dog then they would certainly avoid having collision against him. As long as nothing happened, what transpired in the previous life would certainly be avoided.

Xue Cangzhan didn’t say anything. He averted his eyes when Allen looked at him.

Allen then looks at the nearby Feng Xuli. “Mistress Feng, can I have a minute?”

Feng Xuli’s body trembled but she didn’t dare to disobey Allen. His power really terrifies her. She was almost hit a while ago and without a doubt, she would be a goner if that had hit her.

“Wh, what can I d, do for the young monarch?”

“Of course this Emperor doesn’t need anything from you… would I?”  Allen looked at her coldly.

“I, I guess not,” She admitted. She wanted to speak, but she swallowed the words that reached her throat.

She actually admitted. Allen was puzzled.

Who was this woman standing in front of him who was showing this kind of timidness?

Was she really that overbearing Flower Demon Valley Mistress from his previous life?

Of course, if it were anyone else, Feng Xuli would never feel such fear.

Even if the opponent was an expert several time stronger than herself, she knew that they’d still think twice about the power of her Flower Demon Valley Sect. Therefore, they wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

However, that didn’t apply to the black clothed youth in front of her.

He has a capital to walk in the world sideways. His power that seemed to express his absolute dominion could make anyone feel dread.

Allen stayed in place, but couldn’t help finding the situation rather funny.

In his heart, Allen still held a grudge towards the martial sect’s leaders. After all, they were the one who chased him for a long time and stole many important things from him…

Heaven Cloud Mountain Sect master; Liu Fengxun

Shaolin Temple Sect Master; Xu Menyun

Flower Demon Valley Sect Master; Feng Xuli

Tang Sect Master; Tang Pingyun

And especially Godly Beast Martial Sect master; Si Butian who wanted to capture him for his secret in taming monsters.

However, this was no longer his previous life; the situation was entirely different.

Moping around, shackled by the hatred from the past… usually, such thing would only create a chain of suffering.

It would be a different story if this was still the previous world; after all, even if there’s no meaning on it, revenge is still sweet and could satisfy one’s self.

But in this world, all hate didn’t exist. Everything turned back to zero, why would you blame people who are still innocent…?

It would only create meaningless conflicts.

Allen sighed. How complicated life was!

Allen begins to self-reflect, something he rarely does.

Well, a real gentleman doesn’t always stay at the same time. He will move on and walk forward with grace and elegance.

So Allen, a self-proclaimed gentleman decided to let it go.

Allen walked towards Xue Cangzhan and Feng Xuli. With a voice that they could only hear, he whispers, “However, allow this Emperor to give you a very simple advice.”

Allen started with cold gravity. “Xue Ling is someone very important to this Emperor if somehow something bad had happened to her, believe it or not, wherever you hide; I can still turn it to hell!”

Every hair on Xue Cangzhan and Feng Xuli’s body stood on end after hearing what Allen had said. They felt like a sheared sheep, naked under his gaze, suffocating under the pressure.

He looks at them straight in the eyes, as if he can see right through them.

As an added special effects, a huge lightning bolt as thick as a human thigh descended. When it was about to hit the ground, suddenly it broke apart.

It transformed into a dozen or so smaller lightning bolts that fell like rain onto the city. Whoever managed being hit by them are truly the most unfortunate man in the world!

Simultaneously, Allen’s body quivered as massive amounts of golden sparks danced down his arm and then covered his entire body.

Seeing this while feeling the pressure, the people’s heart thumped around wildly. Xue Cangzhan took heavy breaths as his chest heaved up and down.

Xue Cangzhan and Feng Xuli weren’t thinking right anymore. They could only reply with a trembling voice, “Oh.”

“If you keep that in mind, then we are friends… “Allen grinned wickedly. Unblinking, Allen’s gaze bored into them. “Believe me, though I dislike you lot I rather stay it like this than others. China will soon face a horrible fate, I suggest you prepare and make friends rather than enemies.”

Hearing Allen’s ambiguous words surprised other people.

“Mr. Ye,” President Ji Jaohua called out. His face worried and anxious. “What do you mean by those words?”

“I believe Muxiao will explain it to you herself.” Allen shrugs. “But let me give you some heads up. I believe there were two reasons why China met its… A rather unpleasant outcome.”

“First is the war between the Monster kings… and China will be one of its battlefields, creating so many casualties.”

“Monster Kings? What are they?”

“Monsters reining the top of the monster world. Their power exceeds your wildest imagination; anyway, just ask Muxiao it’s too troublesome to talk about them one by one.”

After a moment of shock, President Ji Jaohua quickly calmed down. “What about the second cause…?”

“Demon Invasion,” Allen said simply.

“What? Demon Invasion?!”

“I don’t know if Muxiao knows of this but I’m also not intending to elaborate this matter, for now. It will only create useless anxiety. You still have a time before they appeared… three, four years at best? In any case, even if I don’t say it, other people will.”

Of course, other than the two, there was actually one very important reason that Allen didn’t include. As for the reason why it was none other than him!

Allen was one of the factors that trigger China’s doom.

Because of him, many people died especially expert cultivators. This caused the country’s fighting capability to lessen.

However, Allen didn’t care. Just like what they say, ‘You reap what you sow!’ They had invited it themselves so it’s never his fault that it had turned out like that and besides, he won’t hesitate to do again if he is given a reason to!

“If you don’t want your country to disappear then act properly…” After speaking Allen started walking away, brushing past the stunned president.

He had already finished what he needed to do here.

His next mission would be in the Philippines, the [ Mud Demon Golem ]. Though before that, he needed to visit Mia first in Milan as well ‘that’ place to gain new power. He had already planned to, the moment he had realized he was in China!

As for Xue Ling’s imminent crisis, Allen wasn’t that worried about it. It won’t happen for several months, there’s a long time for it. Besides, Tang Yu and Sun Lingling would be here. In addition, Liu Muxiao.

They could stop it for him.

They could protect her for him.

--- Though in this time, whether that incident happened or not is still doubtful. After all, what he did at this moment, what he said to Xue Cangzhan and Feng Xuli would certainly not be in vain.

Showing his power like this included this reason as well.

It was good that this fiasco finally ended.

The surrounding leaders of different sect looked at the black clothed youth in admiration as well as fear.

His power wins them over, his grace made them admire and his character akin to that of a King caused them to feel inferior.

The Changjiang River waves behind drive the waves ahead. Indeed it is!

“There are People beyond People, and Heavens beyond the Heavens” One old man muttered while nodding in acknowledgment.

“Indeed, heroes come from the young…”

Slowly, they suddenly noticed that the thundering from the City grew softer, and the frequency of the loud explosions decreased as well. Looking over, they noticed that the curtain of golden lightning had significantly decreased.

After a while, the black clouds rolling in the City became thinner, and the light became brighter.

They thought that they were just imagining it. However, these changes weren’t just hallucinations, and they persisted.

Every second, the thunder and lightning became less frequent, and the color of the black clouds became lighter and lighter.

After a short while, the surroundings found that the thunderstorm had completely disappeared- the lightning was no longer smashing down, the dark clouds were gone, the ravaged ground was still and the wind was calm.

Looking at this, everyone finally breathes a sigh of relief.

Allen had finally alleviated the tense atmosphere that was hanging above them that was akin to a guillotine that would fall at any moment.

Allen shook himself awake and walked out.

As he walked out, he suddenly saw Xue Ling expressionlessly walking towards him through a group of people.

He stopped walking and grinned at her, making butterflies dance in her stomach. Xue Ling fought the impulse to smile and kept a serious countenance.

When she arrived in front of him, Xue Ling bowed, deeply. “I apologize, Mr. Ye, for I was wrong. I was clouded by hearsays that I couldn’t see what it’s real.”
