Chapter 13: There's Nothing Like a Freshly Squeezed Glass of Cherry Juice…

Seeing that Huang Huo was in trouble, Huang De was laughing inwardly: ("How delightful it is to see this bastard so humiliated! Even a bunch of insects can talk behind his back!")

So, are you surprised?

Did you think that the man who had just fawned over Huang Huo and exploited Huang Fu's information for his own benefit was loyal to him?

Of course, he wasn't really loyal.

It was nothing more than a relationship of mutual benefit; it was politics.

In truth, Huang De despised Huang Huo.

("Why am I not the personal servant of Third Young Master Huang Shuren? Why is this bastard Huang Huo in my stead?")

Those were his true thoughts. But in politics, people never expressed their true thoughts; they only said what one wanted to hear.

At this moment, flattering Huang Huo was the best move, so he wouldn’t let go of his ass.

("You bastard Huang Huo, when I get close to Third Young Master, I will dig your grave and take your place!")

...

But now those thoughts were insignificant. Huang De formed a hot flame, glowing in crimson hues, in his palm and directed it towards the crowd with a piercing gaze.

The light of the flame instantly illuminated the darkness; the people in the crowd gulped in fear, and the whispers abruptly fell silent.

Seeing the flame, Xinxi Jia Ren immediately warned:

("This is 'Flame Palm!'—one of the fighting art techniques of the Huang Clan! If he uses it to attack us, he'll turn all of us to ashes! To have mastered this technique at such a young age... It is a true mark of genius!")

Xinxi Jia Ren’s words swept away the crowd’s earlier doubts. Then, everyone began to loudly praise the Huang Clan.

Huang Huo looked on with satisfaction at Huang De’s move.

This move reminded the crowd of who held the power, forcibly silenced the whispers, and turned the situation in their favor. At the same time, it sent a silent yet threatening message to The Immortals Shopping Mall: If you dare to come out and disobey, I’ll turn this place to ashes!

Moreover, the fact that this threat came from Huang De further elevated Huang Huo’s status. A leader doesn’t do everything himself. After all, it is not the bosses but the servants who open the doors.

Meanwhile, Huang Fu merely observed everything with an expression devoid of emotion, without getting involved in any of the events. For he despised both Huang Huo and Huang De. He did not believe that Huang Huo was stupid; he knew full well that this idea originally belonged to him and that Huang De had stolen it from him.

(Fuck, for fuck’s sake, enough already. Why is a two‐second incident dragging on for a hundred chapters… Who the fuck is meddling with my story?! )

Huang Huo’s patience had finally run out. Like a ruler on the execution platform ordering the executioner to deliver the final blow to a condemned prisoner, he decided to demolish The Immortals Shopping Mall. He decisively waved his hand towards Huang De and conveyed his command plainly: DESTROY!

A ruthless glint appeared in Huang De’s eyes, and with a wild smile, he launched an attack on The Immortals Shopping Mall using the Flame Palm technique.

Time seemed to slow down.

"The end has come for The Immortals Shopping Mall! Nothing can escape the wrath of the exalted Huang Clan!" a random man, eyes wide in the midst of chaos and with great impatience as he awaited the collapse of The Immortals Shopping Mall, shouted.

Immediately after, a woman nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders and said:

"The esteemed Master Huang Huo told him to raise his ass and greet him. He deserves it,"

Huang Huo, with a ruthless smile, awaited the success of Huang De’s attack, while Huang Fu was secretly smiling slyly:

("Since you've made Jin Kai your enemy, there's no chance you'll be able to employ him anymore!")

And finally, Huang De’s Flame Palm attack struck the door of The Immortals Shopping Mall!

BOOOM!!!

A massive explosion enveloped The Immortals Shopping Mall entirely in smoke as the ground shook violently!

("Haha. You weren't going to defy the exalted Huang Clan! This is how your end comes!!") Man No. 33 shouted with an excited expression, almost as if he were about to orgasm from pleasure.

Huang Huo looked disdainfully first at the crowd, and then at the pile of smoke before him.

His face bore an expression as if to say, "Look, this is the end for those who do not obey us!"

Huang Fu was still laughing beneath his mustache. The fact that this entire endeavor had amounted to nothing was the most profitable outcome for him. If I can’t win, then no one should win!

…

Huang Huo turned to the crowd, then pointed to the smoke-shrouded The Immortals Shopping Mall and asked authoritatively:

"You see, I told him he should come out and greet me, yet he dared to disrespect the Huang Clan instead! You all witnessed this, didn't you?!"

In fact, it wasn’t even a question; he was commanding them to say “yes!”

Overwhelmed by a mixture of excitement and fear at Huang Huo’s rising momentum, the crowd could not help but shout in unison:

"Yes, he set himself up for death and deserved it!"

While the crowd, along with Huang Huo and Huang Fu, impatiently awaited the dispersal of the smoke, Huang De, with a proud demeanor, struck a heroic pose amidst the smoke, as if awaiting the proclamation of his victory.

The smoke slowly began to disperse, and the scene before them gradually became clear. Everyone squinted in rapt attention, enchanted to see what they would encounter.

But then...

"What?! How can this be?!"

Together with the crowd, Huang Huo and Huang Fu froze in shock, their eyes nearly pinpoint, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

Contrary to their expectations, The Immortals Shopping Mall had not been demolished! On the contrary, it stood upright as if nothing had happened. However, that was not the true horror of the situation.

The truly horrifying sight was that, instead of Huang De emerging heroically from the smoke, there lay nothing but a heap of blood!

The atmosphere of the square had covered everything like a dense smoke.

The silence was shattered by the murmurs and shouts of the people after a brief moment of shock.

The chaos in Huang Huo’s mind failed to find expression. Anger, fear, and shame gnawed at his soul like a vortex. His eyes narrowed, his fists involuntarily clenched.

"Huang De!" shouted Huang Huo, his voice echoing with such resonance that even the stones in the square seemed to tremble.

Huang Fu, meanwhile, had taken a few steps back, instinctively placing his hands in a guard stance. His face bore an anxious expression, yet one that seemed ready to erupt at any moment. As he searched the square for Jin Kai, the murderer of Huang De, his eyes scanned the area.

Meanwhile, people were slowly beginning to comprehend what had occurred. Whispers arose from every corner of the square, merging into a murmur before anyone could discern who said what. The wave of shock had given way to chaos.

Some strained their ears to catch the circulating rumors, while others furrowed their brows in shame at the diminished prestige of the Huang Clan.

At that moment, on the edge of the square, Xinxi Jia Ren stepped forward with his usual air of confidence. As his eyes swept over the crowd, he raised his voice:

"Jin Kai casually killed Huang De, a member of the Huang Clan!"

His words reached every corner of the square.

"Although Huang De was born into a branch family, he still bore the Huang surname! Since Jin Kai killed him, the Huang Clan and Jin Kai can no longer exist simultaneously in this world! If the Huang Clan does not cleanse this stain, it will be swallowed by the Liang Clan, which rules the other half of Rising Sky City! This has now become a matter of life or death!"

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

The Author Support System: Haven’t you found that fucker who is still hacking the system?! Because of you, Xinxi Jia Ren is spouting things he shouldn’t and inciting chaos!!

The Author Support System harbored great anger towards the person responsible for this chaos. Taking a deep breath, she sighed and shook her head helplessly while looking at me.

FUCK!

…

Huang Huo’s mind froze the moment he heard Xinxi Jia Ren’s words. Inside, a panic was growing like an avalanche.

("Fuck! Why am I still standing here? Someone who killed Huang De in one fell swoop could just as easily eliminate me. But why am I stuck here like some stupid supporting character?! WHY WON'T MY LEGS OBEY ME?!")

But that panic suddenly gave way to an inexplicable arrogance and anger. Huang Huo’s anxious expression changed; it transformed into the look of a ruler—disdainful, authoritative, as if he had everything under control. That indefinable power within him seemed to command his tongue.

Huang Huo strode heavily toward the center of the square, parted his lips, and spoke:

"Jin Kai!"

His voice carried a menacing echo.

"The Heavens offered you a path lined with grass, but you rejected it and instead chose to forcibly open the gates of hell! Come here at once, destroy your Dantian before me, cut off both your arms and both your legs! Then prostrate yourself a thousand times! Perhaps then I'll consider leaving your corpse intact!"

As these ruthless words echoed across the square, Huang Fu was almost mesmerized. Normally a man of reason, he had been overtaken by this suddenly rising authoritarian power. An expression full of anger appeared on his face.

He then shouted with a venomous hiss:

"You bastard! How dare you defy the Huang Clan?! You, your friends, and nine generations of your lineage will pay the price by being slaughtered! Come here immediately and beg for forgiveness! Only then can we allow a few of your descendants to survive!"

These words ignited a spark in the crowd.

People began shouting in anger:

"You bastard traitor! With what audacity do you attack Huang De treacherously?!" shouted a man, clenching his fists.

Immediately afterwards, another supported him:

"Yes! If you hadn't treacherously attacked him, how on earth could you have killed a genius like him? He would have killed you with a single finger!"

Another voice rose:

"Or are you an evil cultivator?!"

Soon, someone else replied:

"Yes! You must surely be an evil cultivator! Otherwise, why else would you kill Huang De, especially when there was no reason at all!"

?

What did he say, what did he say?

“””””\ And with absolutely no reason at all!! /“””””
