The atmosphere on the dining table froze. Everyone stared at Wang Teng.
Cao Hongtu smiled at him as if he was speaking of a normal affair.
Cao Guan, Cao Wu, and the others looked over too. They stared at him like a weak little sheep waiting for them to slaughter.
Wang Teng squinted. He glanced around him expressionlessly and then turned to look at Cao Hongtu.
The atmosphere turned stranger when their eyes met.
No one spoke.
“I heard that you came from a faraway planet in the Olant Federation. I wonder if that’s true?” Cao Hongtu asked calmly.
“Senior Brother, you’re quite well-informed!” Wang Teng’s heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless.
“You’re my junior brother after all. I have to take care of you,” Cao Hongtu replied with a smile.
“I guess I need to thank you,” Wang Teng said.
“Oh right, I also heard that you have some grudges with the Olant Federation. I’ve already sent a letter to them to help you mediate this matter. I think my name is still quite useful,” Cao Hongtu looked at Wang Teng intently as he spoke.
Wang Teng’s heart sank instantly. He didn’t believe that Cao Hongtu would be so kind-hearted and help him. His real aim was to let the Olant Federation attack Earth on his behalf.
Damn it, this old fellow was sinister!
They couldn’t do anything to him, but they could deal with Earth.
The fortunate thing was, Wang Teng set a Space Shift Array before he left. If the worst thing happened, Earth would be able to shift away using this array.
Based on the normal route, it would take two and a half months from the Olant Federation to Earth.
If Cao Hongtu wanted to send a letter to the Olant Federation, it would take three to four months to and fro.
Wang Teng knew the shortest route, so he would only need a little more than a month to travel there. He could catch up with them.
This wasn’t the worst that could happen.
Many thoughts flashed through Wang Teng’s mind. He calmed down and looked at the smiling Cao Hongtu. He gave him a good-man card. “Senior Brother Cao, you’re a good person.”
Silence.
Cao Hongtu was stunned. He felt that Wang Teng was cursing him, but he had no evidence. He was also confused, wondering why Wang Teng didn’t seem worried at all.
Or was he just putting up a strong front?
“Junior Brother, it’s not easy for you to leave your hometown and travel so far. Do you need me to send them a message?” Cao Hongtu asked as the gears of his mind turned.
“Wait until you find them.” Wang Teng smiled gently.
Cao Hongtu frowned uncontrollably.
What does that mean?
Did Wang Teng hide his parents beforehand?
Based on his investigation of Wang Teng, this was highly possible.
Cao Hongtu’s face turned black. This was a little out of his expectations.
“My parents and family are on a faraway planet. They’re not easy to locate, unlike your family whom you can see every day. You’re a lucky man,” Wang Teng glanced at him and said.
His voice was calm and his smile was scorching. However, his gaze was indifferent as if he was talking about a bunch of dead people.
Silence ensued again.
All the members of the Cao Family were staring at Wang Teng. Their expressions didn’t look good.
Threat!
Wang Teng was threatening their entire family!
Everyone found this unbelievable. They were gloating a second ago because Cao Hongtu had found Wang Teng’s weakness and could use this to control him. Yet he didn’t buy it, threatening them instead.
They had to admit that Wang Teng was bold.
However, many people didn’t take it to heart. Not everyone could threaten the Cao family. To them, Wang Teng was just a planetary-stage martial warrior. Even if he was a little more powerful, at the end of the day, he was just at the planetary stage.
How dare a planetary-stage martial warrior threaten them? What a joke.
If it wasn’t for his identity, they could kill him easily.
Contempt was evident in the Cao family’s eyes. They were mocking Wang Teng for overestimating himself.
“Don’t look at me like that. I have no other intention. Don’t misunderstand me.” Wang Teng ignored their ridicule. He waved his hand and smiled. “Oh right, Senior Brother Cao, you have been staying in Great Qian City for a long time, so you must be familiar with the prices here. How much does the head of a heaven-stage martial warrior cost?”
The crowd’s expression changed instantly.
What a ruthless fellow!
He wanted to offer a reward for Cao Hongtu’s life!
He had more than four trillion in his bank. This was enough to buy the lives of every member of the Cao family.
Everyone’s mood turned sour.
Cao Hongtu felt his heart throbbing. He was roaring in anger in his mind. If he could, he would have slapped Wang Teng to death.
This bastard was definitely talking about him!
