Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3915 - 3934: Risking Your Life? How Many Lives Do You Have?
Chen Bin laughed heartily, with an arrogant expression, his words full of sarcasm.
Everyone could see that the woman was intimidated by Chen Bin and didn’t dare to tell the truth, fearing Chen Bin’s retaliation. But so what?
Even the person being helped said so, the intimidation accusation naturally doesn’t hold, and speaking righteously doesn’t stand either.
The young woman scolded angrily, "Shameless!"
Chen Bin looked the young woman up and down, sneering, "Little girl, you probably don’t understand the principle of calamity arising from careless talk. How about I teach you a good lesson tonight?"
The young woman’s face turned pale, her eyes filled with anger, but she didn’t dare to say another word.
The three major families aren’t something a small adventure team like theirs can provoke!
Sun Lei had a bitter look on his face; he had already realized that the other party might have a significant background, so even if he had the reason and got beaten, he tried to keep the peace. But he didn’t expect that the other party turned out to be a disciple of the Chen Family, one of the three major families.
Although it wasn’t clear what Chen Bin’s status within the Chen Family was, given that he had two skilled bodyguards and acted so arrogantly, he was likely not a fringe disciple of the family.
Sun Lei bent his waist two degrees once more, squeezing out a smile on his face, and cautiously begged for forgiveness, "So it’s Young Master Chen. We didn’t recognize Mount Tai in front of us and collided with Young Master Chen. We are truly sorry. I hope you can be generous and let us go."
Chen Bin sneered, "Don’t give me that nonsense. Don’t think that saying a few nice words will settle this. Either kneel or get lost..."
Before Chen Bin could finish his sentence, Sun Lei plopped down, kneeling directly, and his forehead banged on the ground with a thud.
Luo Zheng’s eyes suddenly turned red, "Captain!"
Sun Lei ignored Luo Zheng and swiftly knocked three loud kowtows before raising his head, his face wearing a humble smile.
"Young Master Chen, is this acceptable?"
Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Sun Lei to kneel so neatly and even kowtow so loudly.
Amidst the crowd, Chen Bin naturally wouldn’t go back on his word over a small matter. That would be akin to slapping his own face, wouldn’t it?
"You sure know when to yield and when to stand. Alright, I keep my word. Scram!"
Sun Lei let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Young Master Chen."
Sun Lei stood up, giving Luo Zheng, whose face was flushed red and who was filled with anger, a fierce look and said in a deep voice, "Take Ah Feng and hurry to the hospital."
Luo Zheng gritted his teeth, lowered his head, picked up Ah Feng, and was about to leave when Chen Bin suddenly called out, "Wait."
Everyone stopped, and Sun Lei asked in a puzzled tone, "Young Master Chen, is there anything else you need?"
Chen Bin looked at Lin Chen, pointed at him, and asked, "Is that kid one of yours too?"
Before Sun Lei could answer, Lin Chen voluntarily spoke, "I’m not a member of the Rose Adventure Team, just having a drink nearby with one of their members."
Chen Bin stepped closer, scrutinizing Lin Chen, "You’re not from the Federation?"
Lin Chen responded openly, "I come from Lost Ball 235."
Chen Bin suddenly realized, "A native of Lost Ball? Who brought you out?"
Lin Chen answered, "Purification Officer Zhang Zhongjiu."
Chen Bin’s eyes lit up, "You were part of that batch of natives captured by the Purification Team some time ago. Did someone among you join the Lei and He Families?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."
Chen Bin was instantly intrigued, "Did you join Lei or He Family?"
Lin Chen replied, "It was my companions who joined Lei and He Families..."
"You didn’t join? Ha ha."
Chen Bin laughed, "Join our Chen Family, don’t worry, our Chen Family won’t treat you poorly."
Lin Chen declined politely, "I can’t decide on my own, currently I’m affiliated with Dr. Ning Xiuzhu of the Science Council."
"Science Council?"
Chen Bin frowned, his expression changed slightly, "How did you hook up with them?"
Lin Chen answered openly, "Dr. Ning is involved in a research on human modification technology, where I can play a role, so he got me transferred from Zhang Zhongjiu."
Disappointment flashed across Chen Bin’s face, and he waved his hand.
Although he was arrogant, he knew better than to provoke the Science Council. Since Lin Chen had already joined them, there was no need to say more.
Seeing this, Sun Lei promptly led the people away.
At the hospital, the injured Ah Feng was sent into the examination room, and everyone waited at the entrance.
Unable to suppress his emotions any longer, Luo Zheng, his eyes red, said, "It’s too much, Captain. Why endure his humiliation? We could just fight them..."
Sun Lei patted Luo Zheng’s shoulder, showing a carefree smile, "It’s nothing, just knocking a few heads, didn’t lose any flesh, just as if paying respects at a grave."
Luo Zheng was stunned, never expecting Sun Lei to say such a thing, and instinctively responded, "How is that the same? If this gets out, won’t our Rose Adventure Team be despised? How will any employers choose us, and how can we face our peers..."
Sun Lei’s smile faded a little, and he said solemnly, "Our Rose Adventure Team wasn’t famous to begin with, so what reputation is there to speak of? If we can’t make it in Jinghai City, we’ll just change the place. As long as we’re all well, that’s what matters."
"We can’t afford to provoke the Chen Family. If we turned against them today, it would certainly escalate into a big fight. Not to mention whether we could win, even if we did, so what? The Chen Family could easily send an expert to wipe us out."
"If we risk our lives over pride, we wouldn’t last as adventurers, not even with ten lives."
Luo Zheng said with reluctance, "I understand the principle, but..."
"No buts!"
Sun Lei interrupted Luo Zheng firmly, "To die fighting over a matter of pride, is it worthwhile to throw away your life knowing it’s a sure death?"
"If you’re unsatisfied, angry, then use this feeling to fuel your strength, cultivate well. You have high talent, you have the opportunity to become a top warrior. If you achieve great strength, wouldn’t revenge be simple?"
"If you can’t achieve it, that means you’re an ordinary person, and as an ordinary person, you must have the awareness of an ordinary person."
Luo Zheng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "I remember."
Sun Lei turned around, rubbed his hands, and apologized with a smile, "Mr. Lin, sorry for the embarrassment."
Lin Chen shook his head, smiling, "My companions are either Immortal Emperor’s Disciples or geniuses of the Holy Land, all top figures among millions. Yet, they became prisoners, willingly selling themselves to Lei and He Families for freedom."
"Captain Sun, I’m not sure how strong the Rose Squad is, but you’re a good team leader..."
