Silence!
The entire place turned quiet. It was sudden and out of the blue!
The Parkers had forced Wang Teng to the cliff, and many other nobles sided with them. One could imagine the pressure on his shoulder.
Any other smaller nobles wouldn’t be able to handle it. A divine flame wasn’t as important as their lives.
However, Wang Teng was still able to laugh and refute the Parkers calmly.
One sentence “you think you can force me?” was enough to block all the threats.
He was extremely courageous!
Everyone admired his courage and guts. However, they were also curious as to where he got his confidence from.
The Parkers looked at Wang Teng mockingly as if he was a clown. No matter how desperately he struggled, he wouldn’t be able to escape from their grasp.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord remained indifferent. He didn’t think that Wang Teng had any chance of escaping from his clutches. “This is for your own good. Young man, you must learn to give and take.”
“Bullshit!” Wang Teng cursed nonchalantly.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord’s expression froze.
He was a universe-stage martial warrior from the Parkers family. With his high status, no one dared to curse him.
Yet this young man did it.
When Wang Teng cursed Valteru, he found him bold. From the looks of it now. he wasn’t just bold. He was audacious to the extreme.
A fit of uncontrollable anger surged from the bottom of his heart. His expression turned icy, and his gaze became sharp.
“I’m giving you a chance. If you don’t appreciate it—”
“So what if I don’t appreciate it?”
“Hmph, you should know the consequences.” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord snorted. He glared at Wang Teng as if he was a nobody.
“I don’t know the consequences, but I do know you won’t get what you want.”
Wang Teng’s gaze was fearless. His voice remained extremely calm as he turned to look at the grandmasters from the Secondary Career Alliance. He emphasized each word. “Can I seek the protection of the Secondary Career Alliance as a triple-field grandmaster?”
An uproar occurred instantly.
“Triple-field… grandmaster??”
“What does that mean? I recognize the words separately, but I don’t understand them when they’re combined.”
“You’re not the only one. I don’t understand either!”
“Baron Wang Teng is a triple-field grandmaster of the Secondary Career Alliance? Are you kidding?”
“I think I heard something incredible?”
“This is unbelievable. Pinch me and tell me if I’m dreaming.”
“Go away. You can pinch yourself.”
…
There was a huge commotion. Wang Teng’s words were like throwing a bomb into the sea, setting off towering waves. No one could maintain their composure!
What kind of concept was this?
Most of the people here weren’t in this field, but they understood what a triple-field grandmaster represented.
But Wang Teng was so young. How could he make such an achievement?
Disbelief was the first reaction everyone had when they heard this piece of news.
“No way!” Situ Wan’er widened her eyes in shock. Her distant and cold aura was gone. She felt a little queasy.
Even Duke Situ was thunderstruck. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.
The Jiang family members glanced at one another, not knowing how to express their current emotions. They found it hard to believe too.
Especially Jiang Chenxi and Jiang Weisheng. They just spoke to Wang Teng at a close distance some time ago, but they couldn’t tell that he was someone with such great achievements!
This piece of news was entirely unexpected!
The Ji family knew Wang Teng’s identity beforehand, so they just wore ambiguous smiles on their faces. Then, they shook their heads and smiled.
If the Parkers family hadn’t forced Wang Teng into such a tight corner, he might have continued to conceal his identity.
Well, this was good too. An outstanding person would shine one day. If one wanted to have a position in the universe, he mustn’t hide his glamor. It wasn’t a good thing.
Letting the sword out of the sheath was better than hiding the sharp blade.
The nobles who stood up for the Parkers family felt awkward. They had an absurd feeling that the situation was spiraling out of control. A small baron had the ability to resist a powerful faction like the Parkers family.
It was unimaginable.
They supported the Parkers because they were ordered by them or they wanted to do them a favor. But if Wang Teng was a triple-field grandmaster, they were making more losses than gains.
This identity meant that Wang Teng had the support of the Secondary Career Alliance. The Parkers family wouldn’t be able to touch him.
Not only did they not help the Parkers, but they also provoked a triple-field grandmaster with high potential.
Go out for wool and come home shorn!
This was a good description of their situation.
The most embarrassed people were the Parkers. They stood frozen on the ground in a daze. Their faces were filled with disbelief, and they were dumbstruck.
“How is this possible?” Valteru and Sinclamon’s expressions had turned hideous. They were unwilling to accept the truth.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord had a similar reaction. He never expected this to happen. He thought that Wang Teng’s confidence came from his shallow relationship with the grandmasters or the high hopes the other three grand dukes had for him.
This confidence wasn’t enough to affect them.
Unexpectedly, Wang Teng’s confidence came from himself!
And this confidence wasn’t small. The influence of a tripe-field grandmaster could not be underestimated.
…
The grandmasters from the Secondary Career Alliance couldn’t bear to watch anymore. If Wang Teng didn’t say it, they might have blurted out his identity.
The Parkers family had crossed a line!
If they were the ones who possessed the divine flame, were the Parkers going to snatch it from them too?
They sympathized with Wang Teng’s situation. That was why they were all the more incensed.
In the past, people with secondary careers were normally at a disadvantage. They got threatened numerous times, resulting in the birth of the Secondary Career Alliance. They worked together so that they wouldn’t get bullied.
Now, the Parkers family was bullying Wang Teng, a triple-field grandmaster. This was a huge provocation to the Secondary Career Alliance.
Boom!
Grandmaster Alfred stood up furiously.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan did the same.
Grandmaster Harol…
Grandmaster Kirton…
Grandmaster Mo De…
All the grandmasters stood behind Wang Teng, forming a powerful and terrifying aura.
“Yes!”
A firm voice came out of their mouths!
Boom!
It was only a single word, but it created a sonic boom. The explosion was deafening, and it spread throughout the venue with a powerful impact.
Everyone turned silent. All noises seemed to have disappeared. The crowd stared at this scene in amazement.
They could feel the anger of these grandmasters as well as their protectiveness over Wang Teng.
Valteru and Sinclamon’s faces turned green. Their pupils constricted violently. They had to admit that the turn of events astounded them.
The youngsters behind them were in a worse state. Their faces turned pale, and they lay weakly on their seats. No words came out of their mouths.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord was panting. He jumped up from his seat and gritted his teeth as he said, “Baron Wang Teng, you’re good. Triple-field grandmaster!”
Anyone could hear his anger!
Even as a universe-stage martial warrior, he lost his composure. One could see how furious he was. The anger raged in his heart like a ball of roaring flame wanting to devour Wang Teng.
The atmosphere reached the tipping point.
One side was the Parkers family and the other side was the Secondary Career Alliance.
Both sides were powerful factions. Everyone looked back and forth between them. Who would be the one laughing at the end?
“Now, do you still think you can take my divine flame?” Wang Teng asked calmly.
“Tripe-field grandmaster? Hmph, what can you do if I want to take it?” the Furious Flaming Universe Lord said expressionlessly.
“Furious Flaming Universe Lord, be wary of your words.” The grandmasters’ expressions changed.
“Is the Secondary Career Alliance going to be my Parkers family’s enemy?” the Furious Flaming Universe Lord’s gaze turned cold as he questioned them.
“Is the Parkers family going to trample the rules of our Secondary Career Alliance?” Grandmaster Mo De was a short-tempered fellow. He shouted back at the universe lord without any fear.
The other grandmasters didn’t back down either. They stepped forward and glared at the Furious Flaming Universe Lord.
