68: Chapter 69 features a classic scene?

Upon hearing the name Pei Jin,

Che Li's expression changed drastically.

The Pei Family was no ordinary Family.

They were part of the ruling class of this world.

The Family headquarters was located in one of the centers of human civilization—A-7 Base City.

The Pei Family was even a major shareholder of the Guobang Group.

However,

why would such a favored son of heaven come to a backwater place like theirs?

Che Li could not understand it.

She looked at Lu Chen and Luo Nianwei,

her eyes filled with deep apology.

Lu Chen was very famous in D-6 Base City,

but not everyone knew him or could recognize him on sight.

Furthermore,

as his strength continued to improve,

both his appearance and temperament

changed almost daily.

He increasingly radiated a sense of divinity.

Even his close friends and Family felt a bit dazed when they saw him,

let alone others.

Cheng Yao also looked at them.

The moment she saw the two,

a spark of jealousy couldn't help but surface in her eyes.

Why was this girl so beautiful?

Why was this man even more handsome than Young Master Pei Jin?

However, as a shop assistant,

she did a good job of concealing the jealousy in the depths of her eyes.

—But Lu Chen didn't even spare her a single glance.

In fact, he was even feeling a bit of anticipation in his heart.

“Here it comes, here it comes. Am I finally going to encounter a blind, playboy Young Master?”

“After I teach him a lesson, will his father show up? Then his grandfather? Then his Great-Grandfather?”

Pei Jin, was it?

He didn't sound like some small fry.

At this moment,

Lu Chen's blood boiled with excitement.

Had he finally run into this classic trope?

Since his Transmigration,

first there was the Heaven-Defying Golden Finger,

then an illustrious background and Family status on par with the nation's longevity.

It was as if all the backgrounds of a villain had been piled onto him.

It had made Lu Chen feel a bit depressed.

Now, he finally had an opportunity to show off and slap some faces.

He had long wanted to experience being like those protagonists in novels,

where beating the young one brings out the old one,

triggering a chain reaction where pulling a single hair moves the whole body.

This kind of plot was a timeless classic.

Even in classical novels,

it was always the protagonist beating up some bully on the street,

only to turn around and become a public enemy.

Because that bully turned out to be some prince, a Young Master of a wealthy Family, or the cousin or servant of some imperial relative.

Lu Chen wanted to know

what would be different about the plot when those bullies encountered him.

After all,

in terms of background,

his Lu Family was among the top tier of families in the human world.

In terms of status,

he enjoyed the highest treatment from the Human Alliance.

Furthermore, he was powerful.

In terms of combat power,

he was comparable to a C-rank Level 9 Warrior who didn't use Combat Techniques.

Lu Chen stepped forward

and said in an unfriendly tone,

“Young Miss, do I look that easy to bully in your eyes?”

As he spoke,

he slightly leaked a trace of his aura.

In that moment, Cheng Yao felt as if she had fallen into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Countless terrifying monsters stared with bloody eyes,

gazing at her with resentment.

Her Soul felt as if it were about to freeze.

She immediately turned pale with fright

and couldn't help but scream out loud.

“Ah, Young Master Pei! Help!”

Cheng Yao's scream immediately echoed throughout the entire shop.

On the other side of the clothing store,

seven figures were standing.

Five men and two women.

Among the seven, the men were handsome and the women were pretty, each exuding an air of nobility.

At a glance,

one could tell they definitely came from high society.

They were currently arguing about something.

One of the girls looked at the handsomest young man among the five

and said delicately,

“Young Master Pei, are you sure Young Miss Zhong will like this outfit from a Lower-tier Fortress?”

The young man chuckled and said,

“You wouldn't understand. I heard from my father that this outfit was designed by the most cutting-edge Genius fashion designer in the local area.”

“If I give it to Liya, I believe she will definitely be very happy.”

Hearing this,

a flash of disappointment couldn't help but cross the girl's eyes.

She also wanted that outfit.

From the first moment she saw it,

she had fallen in love with it.

She had wanted to persuade Pei Jin to buy something else for that Zhong Liya,

but she hadn't expected that Pei Jin, this famous playboy,

would actually be so devoted to that woman.

She was one of Pei Jin's mistresses.

The other girl was the sister of one of Pei Jin's followers.

The follower had specifically brought her along,

hoping to find an opportunity to send her to Pei Jin's bed

to help their Family lean on the Pei Family.

The mistress looked at the smiling expression on Pei Jin's face,

and her teeth itched with anger.

Didn't this bastard just sleep with that big-chested salesgirl?

And now he's immediately set his sights on Zhong Liya?

But what could she say?

To him,

she was nothing more than a plaything.

Just as they were chatting heatedly,

they suddenly heard Cheng Yao's terrified scream.

“Young Master Pei, help!”

The seven immediately walked toward the direction the sound came from.

When they reached the exhibition area,

they only saw the salesgirl named Cheng Yao kneeling on the ground,

her expression terrified,

her eyes bulging,

as if she had seen the most terrifying demon in the world.

In front of her,

stood an incredibly handsome man.

His temperament was so perfect that even Pei Jin seemed like a peasant standing beside him.

The strange man stood there,

with his hands behind his back,

emanating an indescribable pressure.

One of Pei Jin's followers quickly stepped forward

and pulled Cheng Yao up.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen had already withdrawn his pressure,

as if nothing had happened.

The follower then said sharply,

“Miss, what happened? Why did you call for Young Master Pei's help? Why did you fall to the ground?”

Cheng Yao glanced at Lu Chen.

Thinking of that scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood,

her legs trembled with fear.

However,

when she saw Pei Jin standing nearby,

her eyes immediately lit up.

She added some embellishments and recounted the incident.

Hearing this,

the faces of the seven darkened in unison.

The follower pointed directly at Lu Chen's nose and said,

“Bastard! You're a Formal Warrior? You dare to attack a civilian? Who gave you the nerve?”

“She came here on Young Master Pei Jin's orders! You still dared to attack her! You're finished!”

“The Alliance won't let you off easily.”

“Even if the Alliance lets you off, since you've offended Young Master Pei, no one can save you!”

Pei Jin's expression was calm.

He originally didn't want to get his hands dirty,

but when his gaze fell upon Luo Nianwei,

his eyes couldn't help but light up.

He felt as if he had been struck by electricity,

his whole body tingling.

How could there be such a beautiful woman?

She was even more stunning than that Zhong Liya.

How was that possible?

Unconcealable desire flickered in his eyes.

Hehehe...

Such a beautiful girl should belong to me.

Except for me,

no one in this world is qualified to stand by her side.

The girl beside him saw the expression on Pei Jin's face.

When she followed his gaze and saw Luo Nianwei,

she immediately knew.

—This girl would be taken away, whether she was willing or not.

Then she looked at Lu Chen with some sympathy.

Such an outstanding man was destined to be finished.

First, he had offended Pei Jin.

Second, he was actually standing beside the girl Pei Jin coveted.

Mourn for him...

Pei Jin stepped forward,

not giving Cheng Yao a single glance.

He went straight to Luo Nianwei

and flashed the most charming smile he could muster.

He spoke,

“Hello, Miss. I am Pei Jin. I am the owner of Guobang Group, the parent company of this shopping center.”

“I come from the Pei Family of A-7 Base City.”

“Beautiful Miss, may I have the honor of knowing your name?”
