Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1542: Chapter 1545: Just Start the War (For ’Shi Zhenxiang’, Check-in!!)

Lu Shi felt a chill in her heart, her brows furrowed tightly, she hesitated and said, ”I... I can answer your questions, but I absolutely won’t violate the rules of the profession!”

”First question, does your employer have a certain level of influence internationally, or is he a person from a certain faction, can you say that?” Jiang Chen said expressionlessly.

Hesitation flickered in Lu Shi’s eyes, she carefully organized her words and said softly, ”His influence is not particularly large internationally, but in a certain country or in a certain hemisphere, his influence is considerable.”

Hmm?

Jiang Chen paused, a person matching Lu Shi’s description flashed through his mind, someone he had had a clear conflict with seemed to be the only one...

With a slight frown, Jiang Chen continued, ”Your employer probably didn’t tell you about my strength and that of the people around me, right? If he did, you wouldn’t possibly come alone in disguise to kill me, even if you were brainless.”

Brainless? Who are you calling brainless?

Lu Shi’s expression changed, she glared at Jiang Chen, and pouted, ”He said your strength is unknown, and you’re followed by two young people and an old man.”

”Bastard!”

Cha’erhan cursed angrily.

”It seems there’s no need to prove anything else!” Jiang Chen glanced at Cha’erhan and said with a light smile.

Lu Shi raised her eyebrows and looked at Cha’erhan in confusion.

”Miss Lu Shi, you’ve been tricked! If that person hired you to kill Mr. Jiang, he must know quite a bit about him. Even a slight understanding would reveal that his power is not something an Early Stage Venerable Realm Martial Artist can confront.”

Cha’erhan said, his face grim, ”Given that he has such influence, he surely knows a lot about Mr. Jiang. He deliberately wants to provoke conflict between our Qi Sha Group and Mr. Jiang!”

”This...”

Lu Shi frowned, her expression instantly darkened, and she roared angrily: ”Bastard! How dare he scheme against me!”

”If he doesn’t scheme against you, then who?” Jiang Chen teased, ”You look like a rookie, you’re the easiest to scheme against!”

Lu Shi glared at Jiang Chen, her face turning alternately pale and red.

”Now can you tell me who hired you? In this situation, it shouldn’t be a violation on your part, but rather he broke the rules first!” Jiang Chen said lightly.

Lu Shi glared at Jiang Chen and said angrily, ”What if I don’t tell you?”

”Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?” Jiang Chen’s face turned cold as he spoke harshly.

Yan Hu and the others turned their attention to Cha’erhan and his group.

”Enough’s enough!” Mi Jiaro had lost patience, glaring angrily at Lu Shi, ”You’re lucky Jiang Chen doesn’t kill you after attempting to assassinate him. Now, are you trying to push our kindness to its limit?”

Lu Shi, hearing this, was infuriated and was just about to shout back, but promptly closed her mouth, realizing Mi Jiaro was not someone she could casually talk back to.

”Is...”

Lu Shi unhappily glared at Jiang Chen, reluctantly opening her mouth.

”Is it Si Mo’er, right?” Jiang Chen directly interrupted Lu Shi.

Lu Shi exclaimed in surprise, ”How do you know?”

”Duke Si Mo’er!?” Cha’erhan exclaimed in shock.

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and ignored Lu Shi, turning to Cha’erhan, ”Mr. Cha’erhan, how do you plan to handle this matter?”

”I...”

Cha’erhan hesitated for a moment, lightly frowning, ”According to the rules, we will warn Duke Si Mo’er, and also demand compensation from him.”

”Compensation? Just like that? Wouldn’t that mean anyone could just prepare some money to mess around with your Qi Sha Group?” Jiang Chen said in surprise.

Cha’erhan’s face turned dark, he said in a deep voice, ”Of course not! Duke Si Mo’er... has some connections with us, but this time he really went too far. I will report this to the higher-ups and have them warn him!”

”Connections?!”

Jiang Chen was taken aback, his brows furrowed tightly, ”I didn’t expect Duke Si Mo’er to have connections with you, no wonder he’s so bold to confront me!”

Jiang Chen had already shown his powerful influence at the Ge’er Family heir contest, an influence that could definitely deter even the Y Country’s Royal Family, just like with Pu Losi.

Yet, despite this, Duke Si Mo’er still targets Jiang Chen, his backing is clearly the Qi Sha Group!

Cha’erhan glanced at Jiang Chen, hesitated for a moment, and spoke softly, ”Mr. Jiang, I can’t tell you the connection between Duke Si Mo’er and us. What I can tell you is, no matter who opposes him, in the end, we will have to step in to save his life, if he dies, then we must avenge him!”

”So, if I kill him, you’ll have to come and kill me, is that right?” Jiang Chen frowned at Cha’erhan.

Cha’erhan was momentarily taken aback, not expecting Jiang Chen to be so straightforward, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly.

”Then won’t there still be a fight?”

Mi Jiaro was completely impatient, turning to Jiang Chen, ”Mr. Jiang, might as well just go to war with Qi Sha directly!”

Cha’erhan and his companions were all shocked when they heard this, and looked at Jiang Chen nervously, knowing full well that Mi Jiaro centered entirely around Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen said to go to war, Mi Jiaro would indeed lead the Holy Court against Qi Sha!

In doing so, Qi Sha would face a nightmare scenario: being attacked from three sides by the Holy Court, Yan Huang Group, and Jiang Chen’s forces.

”No need for that now, I’ll probe Si Mo’er’s background at the empress’s birthday celebration. I just feel something isn’t quite right!” Jiang Chen waved his hand gently.

”Not quite right? What’s not quite right?” Mi Jiaro asked Jiang Chen, puzzled.

”If Si Mo’er really wanted my life, just from what Cha’erhan said, you can infer that he has the ability to mobilize peak Venerable Realm experts from Qi Sha, or even possibly get Saint Realm experts to kill me.” Jiang Chen said softly, ”But instead, he hired Lu Shi, who’s just a rookie. Surely he knows this rookie can’t kill me. If his intention was to provoke conflict between me and Qi Sha by having me kill Lu Shi...”

Looking up at Cha’erhan, Jiang Chen said seriously; ”How does Lu Shi’s importance in your organization compare to Si Mo’? If Lu Shi dies because of Si Mo’, would you still protect him?”

”Of course not! If Miss Lu Shi really died because of his scheme, and you, Mr. Jiang, killed her, we would go to war with you and also kill Si Mo’er!” Cha’erhan asserted firmly.

”That makes sense!”

Jiang Chen declared affirmatively, ”Si Mo’er, that old fox, must understand this. So why would he take the risk and drag himself down?”

At this, Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then pondered briefly before continuing to murmur quietly to himself.
