Furious, he clenched his teeth and dered, “Boy, you’re courting disaster! Don’t me me for being rude!”


    With that, he swung his heavy fist towards Charlie.


    However, Charlie showed no fear. Instead of dodging, he met the threat with a challenging gaze and calmly replied, “Go ahead and fight. You’ll soon learn that even a powerful dragon can’t easily overwhelm a local snake. Just one phone call from me can turn you into a wanted man in Aurous Hill, you know that?”


    Upon hearing this, Hong Tianshi’s expression shifted to one of shock!


    He instinctively halted his punch.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    It wasn’t fear of Charlie that stopped him, but a realization sparked by Charlie’s words: “This kid must have local connections in Aurous Hill. While I’m not intimidated by him, I’m new here andck allies. What if he calls someone today? Without his support, the police might be on my tail, making it hard for me to stay in Aurous Hill. If that happens, I won’t achieve my main goal foring here!” With this thought, he gritted his teeth and muttered, “Forget it!”


    He reminded himself, “If you can endure a little, you can avoid a bigger disaster! Let this kid live another day!”


    With that, Hong Tianshi retracted his fist, stared intently at Charlie, and said through clenched teeth, “Boy! Today, your fate is sealed. Hong doesn’t want to escte things here. Otherwise, for your disrespectful words, I would’ve sent you to meet the Supreme Sanqing!”


    Charlie spat and shot back, “Bah! You old man! You talk tough, but let’s be honest—you’re lucky you didn’t act on it! Otherwise, I’d have knocked you out right here! Don’te crying to meter about respecting the elderly!”


    “F*ck you!”


    At that moment, Hong Tianshi nearly ground his teeth in frustration!


    He never anticipated that this kid would be so infuriating, to the point where he felt like he could kill him!


    He had shown mercy by sparing Charlie’s life, and instead of gratitude, he was met with disrespectful taunts. It was a situation that was simply intolerable!


    Yet, the more Charlie provoked him, the less he felt able to retaliate. It wasn’t that he feared Charlie; rather, he was concerned about sparking a public disturbance or a potential criminal case.


    If that were to happen, the police would be involved. And despite being an eight-star martial artist, he certainly didn’t want to sh withw enforcement in a bustling city like Aurous Hill.<fn84c2> Chapters first released on find{n}ovel</fn84c2>
