Chapter 794: Why Are You All Looking at Me

“Tsk tsk tsk. Look at you, constantly talking about the lower class and calling people insects, acting as if you’re so noble.”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll make you noble people kneel before me, a lowly insect, when you speak to me.”

Xu Shaochen said coldly. He intended to teach these self-proclaimed superior people a harsh lesson.

“You’re young, but your words are big. You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Wang Xian merely glanced at him dismissively before turning his attention back to Chen Ju: “Nephew, I’ve stated my conditions. As long as you don’t break off the engagement, I won’t cause trouble for your friend.”

“You’d need the ability to cause trouble first.” Chen Ju sneered. Causing trouble for Xu Shaochen? How was that any different from chatting with death?

Wang Xian chuckled lightly: “What, is he the King of Heaven’s godson or something?”

“I wonder if Uncle Wang has heard of the Xu Corporation.” Chen Ju asked with a gentle smile.

He was always kind to those about to die. There was no need to be harsh.

Wang Xian asked: “Of course I’ve heard of it. But what does that have to do with you, nephew?”

“It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with my friend.” Chen Ju shook his head and pointed at Xu Shaochen.

Wang Xian was unimpressed, glancing at Xu Shaochen dismissively: “The Xu Corporation is huge. There are plenty of nobodies associated with it.”

“Uncle Wang, he’s the heir to the Xu Corporation, the future CEO.”

Chen Ju said casually.

The smile on Wang Xian’s face slowly froze: “Nephew… you’re not joking with me, are you?”

“Uncle Wang, given our current situation, do you think I’m in the mood to joke with you?” Chen Ju asked with a smile, his expression a mix of sympathy and schadenfreude.

Wang Xian’s face immediately changed color. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he felt his hands and feet go cold.

The other members of the Wang Family also stared at Xu Shaochen in shock.

“Why are you all looking at me? Is there something on my face? carry on, don’t mind me. I’m just going to make a Phone call.”

Xu Shaochen looked around, smiled, and took out his Phone.

“Young Master Xu… I was wrong earlier. My words were offensive. Please, for the sake of Nephew Chen, forgive me. A great man doesn’t hold grudges against the petty.”

Wang Xian said hoarsely, feeling frustrated and humiliated. But he couldn’t let Xu Shaochen make that Phone call, so he had no choice but to beg for forgiveness.

Otherwise, that Phone call might determine the prosperity or decline of their Wang Family.

“Yes, Young Master Xu, we were all blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai. We were shortsighted. Please don’t hold it against us.”

“Young Master Xu, I know I was wrong. Please be magnanimous…”

The other members of the Wang Family also started apologizing and begging for forgiveness, all with lowered heads, feeling their faces burn with shame.

If there was a hole in the ground, they would probably dive into it without hesitation.

“Oh no, you’re all high-class, noble people. How could you apologize to a lowly insect like me? It’s beneath your status.”

Xu Shaochen wore a panicked expression, but his eyes didn’t hide his mockery and disdain.

Hearing this, Wang Xian and the others turned bright red. The more proudly they had used these words to humiliate Xu Shaochen earlier, the more ashamed and embarrassed they felt now.

Everyone was speechless, standing stiffly in place, wishing they could bury their heads in their chests.

“Oh right, I said earlier that you should kneel when talking to me. What, you can’t even fulfill such a small wish of mine?”

Xu Shaochen said sincerely, looking at the Wang Family members.

“Young Master Xu, killing a man is one thing, but why must you humiliate us like this!”

Wang Xian clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

“Slap!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen stood up, walked in front of him, and slapped him across the face.

“So what if I humiliate you? Huh? I’m asking you, so what? What can you do? What do you dare to do?”

Xu Shaochen lightly patted Wang Xian’s face, mocking him:

“You dare not do anything. You can only endure it. You think you’re better than me? There are many people more powerful than you who don’t even dare to raise their voices when speaking to me.”

“And you? Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty in front of me? Now do you know what it means to be truly superior?”

“It means that when I’m not speaking, you can jump up and down in front of me, but a mere sneeze from me could kill you. Understand?”

Every word Xu Shaochen said felt like a sharp knife stabbing into Wang Xian’s heart, making him feel utterly humiliated.

In all his years, this was the first time he had been scolded to his face by a young upstart.

“Slap!”

Xu Shaochen slapped him again, saying word by word: “I’m asking you a question. Are you deaf?”

“No… no, I understand.”

Wang Xian said hoarsely, like a student being scolded by an elementary school teacher, not daring to make a sound.

“I thought you were so tough, but you’re just another bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong.”

Xu Shaochen sneered, then looked around and said: “Alright, back to what I was saying. Come on, everyone in this room, kneel down.”

“This lowly insect from the gutter now wants to see what it feels like to have you noble, high-class people kneeling before me.”

He paused, then raised a finger and waved it: “By the way, this is the last time I’m saying this. Don’t make me say it a third time.”

Everyone in the Wang Family looked at Wang Xian.

Wang Xian looked at Chen Ju: “Nephew Chen…”

“Hey — stop. Don’t talk to me. You brought this on yourself.” Chen Ju cut him off without mercy.

Wang Xian’s face alternated between green and white as he stood there, his heart a mix of emotions.

“I’ll count to three. Kneel or not, I want to see if your bones are as hard and noble as your mouths.”

Xu Shaochen held up three fingers.

Wang Xian took a deep breath, suppressing the humiliation and anger in his heart, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit and knelt down.

In the blink of an eye, in the spacious living room, everyone except Xu Shaochen and Chen Ju was kneeling on the ground.

Xu Shaochen spread his arms and closed his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked down at everyone: “Do you know what I’m feeling?”

“I feel that you should kowtow to me as well.”

“You’re going too far!”

Wang Xian exploded in anger, raising his head and shouting.

“Bang!”

Xu Shaochen kicked him to the ground and said coldly:

“Alright then. I’ll give you two choices now. Either kowtow to me or leave a finger behind. That’s not going too far, is it?”

Wang Xian’s face alternated between green and white, as these were the exact words he had said to Xu Shaochen earlier.
