15: Troublesome

Dawn Guild Hall.

Wang Chen felt the gazes cast upon him from all directions, and his brow couldn't help but twitch.

With displeasure in his eyes, he looked at the flashy young man opposite him.

This young man had an ordinary appearance, a pale complexion, looking like he was overindulging in pleasure, yet he wore expensive equipment.

After just a few glances, Wang Chen understood.

This, it seemed, was the trouble brought by the Young Miss Situ Yu.

Thinking of himself being caught in the crossfire, Wang Chen couldn't help but frown and say,

"Who are you?"

"You…" Chen Hao seemed to have not expected Wang Chen to not know him at all, and his face instantly turned incredibly ugly.

"Oh, you, Wang Chen, you're no longer the high and mighty top student from school. A trash Giant-Beast Master, and you still dare to be so arrogant?"

"Heh heh! So what?" Hearing this, Wang Chen sneered.

"I'm telling you, you, a trash Awakener, need to recognize your place. Still thinking of climbing the social ladder?"

Chen Hao glared at Wang Chen, his tone arrogant as he said,

"I advise you to draw a clear line with Situ Yu. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."

"Oh?"

"Heh heh!"

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Wang Chen shook his head disdainfully, looking at Chen Hao with amusement.

At this moment, he was even more certain that Situ Yu was truly a troublemaker.

It was clearly Situ Yu who inexplicably approached him, yet in others' eyes, it became him trying to climb the social ladder, being imagined as a love rival.

How ridiculous!

For an imbecile like Chen Hao, Wang Chen felt that even speaking a few words to him was an insult to himself.

Shaking his head dismissively, he stepped forward, intending to walk towards the front desk.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Wang Chen's indifferent demeanor, Chen Hao became even more furious.

After speaking, he reached out his hand to stop Wang Chen.

Slap!

However, his hand had barely extended before it was slapped back, the immense force directly causing Chen Hao to stumble.

Withdrawing his hand, Wang Chen took out a piece of paper and wiped it, then looked at Chen Hao with an indifferent gaze, coldly saying,

"I'm too lazy to bother with you. Don't push your luck!"

Opposite.

Chen Hao's face changed dramatically. Wang Chen's action of taking out paper to wipe his hand made him feel immense humiliation, and his face immediately flushed red.

Since childhood, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? Wherever he went, he was always surrounded by people, and no one had ever dared to lay a finger on him.

"Wang Chen…"

Chen Hao let out a twisted laugh, his eyes becoming incredibly fierce.

"You dare to hit me? Do you not know how to write the word 'death'?"

"Heh!" Hearing this, Wang Chen sneered, his eyes completely indifferent.

"Sorry, I actually do know that. If you don't, I can teach you!"

With those words, Wang Chen took a step forward, looking down at Chen Hao.

"You…"

Feeling the indifference in Wang Chen's eyes, a flicker of panic flashed in Chen Hao's heart, but then he quickly became arrogant again.

"Do you know who I am?"

Looking at Wang Chen, Chen Hao frantically yelled.

"My dad is one of the top five magnates in Dongling City, possessing wealth you can't even imagine in your lifetime."

"I am the Chen family's only son. My status and a country bumpkin like you are as different as heaven and earth."

After Chen Hao finished speaking, he glared fiercely at Wang Chen: "You still want to teach me? Don't you look at your shabby appearance?"

...

Many adventurers in the hall had already been paying attention to this side. After all, watching such young people argue over love was a rare pleasure in their daily lives.

However, after hearing Chen Hao's words, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"The young master of the Chen family? No wonder this young man looks so familiar to me!"

"Holy cow, daring to compete with the young master of the Chen family for affection, this young man named Wang Chen really has courage!"

"But, look at Young Master Chen's expression, as if he wants to devour someone, and then look at Wang Chen's calm demeanor. The outcome of this struggle is immediately clear!"

"This Young Master Chen is truly arrogant, saying such things in public. Isn't he afraid of tarnishing his Chen family's reputation?"

Seeing the excitement, the adventurers in the hall gathered around, each looking at the scene with playful eyes.

Moreover, many people kept their eyes firmly on Wang Chen.

A handsome young man like Wang Chen was rare in this era where Awakeners emerged in large numbers. Many female adventurers had a peculiar glint in their eyes.

Such a good-looking young man, who became a Giant-Beast Master, and is now targeted by the Chen family's young master, is truly unlucky to the extreme.

These attractive female adventurers all planned to approach Wang Chen and comfort this 'little brother' once the matter was resolved.

However...

The intentions of these infatuated women were destined to be in vain.

In the arena.

Hearing Chen Hao's words, Wang Chen's gaze met his without the slightest waver, even showing a hint of mockery on his face.

"So what?"

"You talk yourself up so much, but your goddess still ignores you, doesn't she?"

Wang Chen chuckled disdainfully, not taking Chen Hao's words seriously at all.

In his opinion, this kind of idiotic scion deserved a beating!

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the front desk.

"You…"

Chen Hao, who felt like he had been stabbed in the chest, looked at Wang Chen's retreating figure with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

"Bastard, how dare you humiliate me like this?!"

With a furious roar, Chen Hao quickly walked towards Wang Chen, intending to stop him.

Just then, a graceful figure suddenly appeared between the two of them.

"Chen Hao, I'm telling you one more time, get lost."

"Wang Chen is the teammate I chose. If you dare to question him here, do you want a beating?"

Situ Yu looked at Chen Hao with icy eyes, her anger constantly surging.

"Situ Yu, you…"

Chen Hao looked at Situ Yu in disbelief, his expression filled with humiliation.

"Are you crazy? Teaming up with Wang Chen, this trash Awakener Giant-Beast Master?"

"Look at his shabby appearance, he's still wearing the novice set!"

Chen Hao's expression was somewhat hysterical as he shouted loudly.

He never would have imagined that his goddess would actually protect Wang Chen, this country bumpkin.

One was a Young Miss from a wealthy family, and the other was a trash Awakener who could only afford a novice set.

The difference in their statuses was like heaven and earth!

And what made Chen Hao even more humiliated was...

He, this young master of a powerful family, was actually inferior to Wang Chen in Situ Yu's eyes!

"So what?"

Situ Yu looked at Chen Hao with disgust, an indifferent expression on her face.

"Even if Wang Chen hadn't become a Awakener, he'd still be a thousand, a hundred times stronger than you, you trash!"

After speaking, Situ Yu turned to Wang Chen and said, "Don't mind this trash. Let's quickly register as adventurers and take a quest to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range."

Saying that, she directly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Chen's arm, pulling him towards the front desk. Where was the arrogant demeanor she had just shown towards Chen Hao?

This scene made the onlookers among the adventurers drop their jaws, and it struck Chen Hao like a bolt of lightning!
