Ch 409: Putting On A Show
“Haha, Su Chen, you finally answered the phone.”
The phone had just connected when Grand Tutor Hua’s hearty voice came through.
Judging solely by the voice, one would immediately assume their relationship was excellent, making it hard to believe that just two days prior, they had been at Sword Drawn, Bow Bent.
Upon receiving the call, Su Chen immediately realized that Grand Tutor Hua was about to strike!
Su Chen narrowed his eyes. He had finally waited for this day.
If it were before, he would have been very nervous, even to the point of retreating.
But now, not only did he not feel fear, he felt a bit eager to try, wanting to test his strength and what level it had reached through Grand Tutor Hua.
Besides, this matter could not be avoided. Since Wu Xu could afford the price, there would inevitably be a battle between him and Grand Tutor Hua.
Since it’s unavoidable, let’s just face it head-on.
Moreover, the reason for wanting to reach the strongest level is to engage with countless strong people, to forge ahead and overcome obstacles, there are no shortcuts.
Having figured this out, Su Chen calmly replied, “Grand Tutor, are you going to strike me personally?”
Grand Tutor Hua was taken aback, falling into a brief silence. He clearly didn’t expect Su Chen to be so straightforward, taking Grand Tutor Hua completely by surprise; for a moment his brain froze, unable to think of a response.
But he was ultimately someone who had seen the ups and downs of life and had quick reflexes. He immediately thought of a new phrasing, sighing softly, he said: “Alas, it seems you still resent me for stopping you from killing Wu Xu at the Shooting Range that day.”
Su Chen chuckled lightly, “Grand Tutor’s martial arts are incomparable, how dare I resent you? Grand Tutor is overthinking.”
Although Su Chen spoke these words, the emotions he expressed clearly showed resentment.
Grand Tutor Hua, hearing this, actually smiled, thinking that Su Chen was still the same Su Chen, a young man who couldn’t hide his emotions.
Such people are often easier to manipulate.
He continued to lower his posture, his tone becoming more gentle, “Alas, you still clearly resent me. But it’s not entirely your fault, I truly didn’t handle things well that day. I simply didn’t want to see you go down the Wrong Path, and didn’t consider your feelings at the time.”
“Su Chen, I sincerely apologize to you here.”
Grand Tutor Hua’s attitude over the phone was extremely sincere. For such a high-status Big Shot, willing to lower himself in this way, anyone would calm down.
This is a classic PUA tactic used by many big shots; even if they’ve done something wrong, as long as they lower their head a little, it’s easy to get Forgiveness, and the other party might even feel flattered.
Grand Tutor Hua had mastered this technique to perfection.
Su Chen remained silent, lost in thought.
Grand Tutor Hua continued, “To express my apology, I will be holding a Banquet at home tonight, specifically to apologize to you. At the same time, I will announce to everyone that I will stand by you and believe in your Innocence!”
Grand Tutor Hua’s words were forceful and sincere, causing anyone who heard them to be moved and feel the Impulse to devote themselves to Grand Tutor Hua.
However, for Su Chen, Grand Tutor Hua’s act couldn’t fool him at all. Instead, it made Su Chen despise Grand Tutor Hua even more, and further confirmed that Grand Tutor Hua had completely sided with Wu Xu. Those beautiful words were just to deceive him into being killed!
However, even if Su Chen knew Grand Tutor Hua’s intentions, it didn’t stop him from playing along.
“Grand Tutor…” Su Chen’s voice showed a hint of Choke, sounding moved: “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”
Grand Tutor Hua’s mouth immediately curved upwards, revealing a smug Smile, as if he had everything under control.
Of course, outwardly, he continued to act as a Good Person, “So, can you come tonight? I want to apologize to you in person. At the same time, I will announce to everyone tonight that I will stand by you and share your fate. If Wu Xu wants Revenge on you, he’ll have to go through me first!”
His words were so inspiring that if Su Chen hadn’t seen through his True Colors beforehand, he really would have been moved to tears. 『』
But now, he found Grand Tutor Hua even more Disgusting. He continued to act with Grand Tutor Hua, feeling deeply 『moved』, then asked, “Grand Tutor, will Yuèróng be attending? I haven’t seen her for a long time.”
On Grand Tutor Hua’s end, upon hearing this, his Facial Expression instantly froze, becoming cold, and his eyes shot out intense Killing Intent.
This Damn Su Chen, facing death, still remembers his Daughter!
Simply Damn!!
“Su Chen, do you really miss Yuèróng so much?” Grand Tutor Hua’s voice was very low, giving a very Serious feeling.
However, the Killing Intent and Anger in his tone did not escape Su Chen, causing Su Chen to almost laugh out loud. Indeed, Hua Yue Rong was Grand Tutor Hua’s Weakness.
Su Chen showed a bit of Shyness, “Yeah, during the time I was arrested, I’ve been Longing for her. I’m afraid she’ll misunderstand that I’m really a heinous Criminal. So, I also want to explain to her in person that I’m innocent.”
Grand Tutor Hua’s Facial Expression became even colder, but the words that came out of his mouth were still very kind, creating a strong sense of dissonance!
Therefore, Wu Xu, standing beside him, was immediately shocked, his Heartbeat involuntarily accelerating, feeling even more apprehensive and Awe of Grand Tutor Hua.
Grand Tutor Hua was indeed not a simple Big Shot, his inner darkness was probably even greater than his own!
“Hahaha, good! Don’t worry, Yuèróng will be there tonight, you’ll have plenty of time to explain to her then.” Grand Tutor Hua smiled particularly gently.
Su Chen, completely unaware that he had already stepped half a foot into the coffin, happily said, “That’s great! Grand Tutor, I’ll attend the banquet tonight.”
“Good, good.”
Then they exchanged a few more perfunctory pleasantries and hung up the phone.
As soon as the phone hung up, Grand Tutor Hua’s Facial Expression turned completely cold, looking particularly frightening.
Wu Xu quickly asked, “Grand Tutor, did Su Chen agree to come?”
Grand Tutor Hua glanced at him indifferently and asked back, “Are you Questioning my abilities?”
Wu Xu immediately furrowed his Eyebrow. Why was Grand Tutor Hua reprimanding him? Although his Status was inferior to Grand Tutor Hua’s, he wasn’t some Tom, Dick, and Harry.
Grand Tutor Hua saw the Dissatisfaction on Wu Xu’s face and immediately realized he had lost his composure. No matter what, he was now Wu Xu’s ally, and shouldn’t give Wu Xu a bad Facial Expression.
It seemed he had been led by Su Chen’s Rhythm. This damn guy!
Grand Tutor Hua immediately softened his Attitude, a Smile appearing on his face, and said to Wu Xu with a smile: “Just kidding. With me taking action, Su Chen certainly won’t refuse. He’s still foolishly thinking that I really want to share his fate.”
“City Lord Wu, rest assured, tonight you can personally get your Revenge. You can now think about what Method you want to use to torture Su Chen.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Xu’s Facial Expression improved considerably, nodding his head, a Smile reappearing on his face, he bowed to Grand Tutor Hua, “Thank you for your help, Grand Tutor.”
The two of them exchanged a smile, achieving excellent Cooperation.
