Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1385: Chapter 1388: Staying Out of It?

”This elderly gentleman must be the gambling king, Old Master He, right?”

Jiang Chen lightly chuckled as he faced the old man at the northern table and bowed slightly in greeting.

”We’re all friends in the circles, no need for such formalities. I am indeed He Chonggang.”

The old man from the north returned the gesture with a light chuckle and introduced the others: ”This is my son, He Yaoyang; his wife, Wang Ruyi; this gentleman is Ruyi’s father, Wang Boqian, brother; and Ruyi’s elder brother, Wang Huaizhen.”

Jiang Chen’s expression shifted, glancing at Wang Boqian with a meaningful look, then addressing He Yaoyang: ”It’s a pleasure, Mr. He.”

”Pleasure’s all mine, Head of the Jiang Family!” He Yaoyang returned the greeting with a light chuckle.

After exchanging pleasantries with He Yaoyang, Jiang Chen directly took a seat at the empty spot on the east side.

The crowd was momentarily stunned, as He Chonggang’s lips curled up in amusement before settling back into his seat, casting a teasing glance at Wang Boqian.

”Hmph!”

Wang Boqian’s expression darkened as he coldly said, ”As expected from a wild young brat raised without any manners!”

”Still better than a father who fails to raise well-mannered children!” retorted Jiang Chen blandly.

Wang Boqian’s face turned furious, giving Jiang Chen a cold, menacing look, the glint of icy murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

”Jiang Chen, you dare to insult my grandfather? Do you have a death wish? Do you know who my grandfather is?” Wang Qifeng’s face darkened as he burst out.

Jiang Chen glanced at Wang Qifeng with a mocking tone, ”What’s this? A pig’s head that can actually speak human language?”

”Jiang Chen, are you intending to not discuss things amicably today?” Wang Huaizhen said with a cold voice.

”Discuss amicably?”

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, letting out a cold laugh: ”I have nothing to discuss with you. My brother is still unconscious in bed, my brother’s woman is also bedridden. You expect me to have a nice chat with you? Are you joking with me?”

The He Family members were taken aback, staring at Jiang Chen with puzzled faces.

Nobody expected that today, it wouldn’t be the Wang Family who started the troubles, but Jiang Chen, who came on strong right from the beginning, provoking the Wang Family!

What’s going on here? Does this young man have some kind of backing?

A hint of confusion flashed in He Chonggang’s eyes as he turned to look at Mu Wantao by his side.

Mu Wantao quietly extended his aura to sense around, then shook his head gently.

It’s just the three of them? So where does this young man get the confidence to provoke the Wang family like this?

Does Jiang Chen really not sense that there are people hidden in this cabin?

The confusion in He Chonggang’s eyes grew denser as he stared intently at Jiang Chen, trying to see if he was just feigning composure.

But Jiang Chen’s indifferent expression gave nothing away, even to an old fox like He Chonggang.

”Hehe! Hahaha...”

Wang Boqian suddenly burst into loud laughter, filled with scorn: ”Kid, you’ve got guts, indeed. Who gave you the courage to be so bold in front of me? Did you think that Qi Feng’s meek performance this afternoon signified that my Wang Family is weak and to be bullied? That was just to make sure you would dare to show up to our appointment, a deliberate deception. Now that you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!”

Crack, crack!

Swish, swish, swish!

Right after Wang Boqian finished speaking, the windows of the three-story building in the center of the cruise ship flew open one after another. More than twenty figures burst out from the windows, promptly encircling the crowd.

”Jiang Chen, I know you’re formidable. For someone your age to reach the Venerable Realm is certainly astonishing. However, you’re still too young. Do you really think you can conquer others with your talent alone? Heh heh!”

Wang Boqian said with a mocking laugh, ”Genius who doesn’t know how to keep a low profile is doomed to fall. You killed my daughter and beat up my grandson; you’re destined to die by my hands!”

”Haha, Jiang Chen, didn’t expect this, did you? Did you really think I was afraid of you this afternoon? No, I wanted you to believe I was scared! That way, you wouldn’t bring a top martial artist to escort you here.”

Wang Qifeng said with a face full of ridicule, ”Did you think we were unaware of your relationship with the Flame Dragon Group? But so what? It’s just the three of you now, even if all three of you are warriors of the Venerable Realm, what of it? Here we have more than twenty Venerable Realm warriors. Just one palm strike from each of us could turn you into a complete pulp!”

Jiang Chen turned his head and swept a glance at the people around him.

The twenty plus individuals who had appeared were indeed Venerable Realm warriors, among them was even an elder with the power of the late stage of the Venerable Realm. His own side only had three early stage Venerable Realm martial artists; the difference in strength was indeed enormous!

Yet, Jiang Chen showed no hint of panic. With a faint smile, he fixed his gaze upon He Chonggang’s face: ”What does Elder He think?”

He Chonggang was slightly startled, a somewhat preposterous idea forming in his heart.

Could it be that throughout all this, the Head of the Jiang Family’s calm demeanor was because he felt certain that He himself would help?

Where did he get such confidence from? Was it because of the relationship between young Zheng and the young master of the Lou Family?

”Haha!”

Wang Boqian burst out laughing: ”Jiang Chen, you think Elder He will help you? Do you think just because of the relationship between the young master of the Lou Family and the young master of the He Family, he will offend me for your sake? Do you know who I am? Do you know what status my Wang Family holds internationally?”

Wang Qifeng said arrogantly and loudly: ”Listen to me, Jiang Chen, our Wang Family belongs to one of the seven overlord families internationally, we are the vice-regent family of the Yasna Continent branch of the Grand Virtue Gate. The entire Yasna Continent is under our Wang Family’s rule. With just one word from my grandfather, all martial arts forces in the Yasna Continent would bow down and submit. You dared to provoke our Wang Family, dared to kill my aunt, and dared to hit me; you are truly tired of living!”

He Chonggang and the others glanced at Wang Qifeng, their eyes revealing a trace of a strange look, clearly disapproving of what Wang Qifeng said. However, they did not say anything.

”Oh? Is that so?”

Jiang Chen said indifferently while looking at Wang Qifeng, ”But how come I’ve heard there are only six international overlord powers, not including your Grand Virtue Gate? Moreover, I was asking Elder He. Are you all jumping in so anxiously because you’re afraid Elder He might stand on my side?”

”Ridiculous!”

Wang Huaizhen let out a cold shout: ”Are we afraid of the He Family? We simply respect Elder He and don’t want him to be involved in this muddle is all.”

A flicker of dissatisfaction flashed in He Chonggang’s eyes, yet he still did not express any opinion.

”So it seems Elder He is choosing to remain neutral in this matter?” Jiang Chen turned his head and spoke meaningfully.

He Chonggang glanced at Jiang Chen and said indifferently, ”As for the matters between Head of the Jiang Family and the Wang Family, it’s not appropriate for the He Family to intervene.”

”Grandpa!”

He Zheng called out to He Chonggang anxiously, ”Grandpa, please help my big brother. At the very least, don’t let him die here!”

”Shut up!” He Yaoyang gave He Zheng a glare and snapped.

”Young Master He, rest assured, whether Jiang Chen and the others will die here depends on their own choices.”

Wang Huaizhen looked indifferently at He Zheng, then turned to Jiang Chen: ”Kid, give up on acquiring the medical companies in Haojiang. When you decide to enter the pharmaceutical industry, come to our Wang Family for cooperation, and we’ll spare your life today and overlook your past actions, including the murder of my sister and the humiliation of my son!”

”No, Dad, I want him to kowtow and apologize to me!” Wang Qifeng interjected loudly at that moment.
