1286 You Are Insulting My Character and Trampling on My Dignity
“Wang Teng, my time is limited and I can’t squander it talking with you. Have you thought it through?” Swait said coldly.
He was arrogant and was obviously looking down on our hero. If it wasn’t for Crofts, he would have never gone there.
As for the ongoing feud between Wang Teng and the Parkers, he didn’t take it seriously. A mere celestial stage martial warrior couldn’t possibly shake them.
The real reason why they had suffered multiple defeats by the young one was because the real powerful martial warriors had not made a move.
If they did, not even a hundred Wang Tengs would be a match.
Our hero looked impassive, his face devoid of expression as he heard Swait’s words.
Round Ball had a bad feeling and said hastily, “Wang Teng…”
Before it could finish the sentence—Wang Teng had already responded. “I’m sorry, I refuse!”
He spoke out loud, without using voice transmission.
Since the other party was shameless, he had no need to worry too much.
He didn’t even fear the dark apparitions, let alone a Third Prince.
It’s over!
Swait was feeling confident at first, but his face stiffened by the response. He was livid. “How dare you refuse! Who gave you the guts?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Wang Teng sneered and then said righteously. “Third Prince wanting to use favors to make me drop Crofts’ charges… he’s showing disrespect to the military court and the military as a whole. I, Wang Teng, soldier of the military and loved by the generals, am the commander of the Tiger Strike Force. How could I give all of that away for the sake of a mere favor from the Third Prince? You look down on me too much.
“You are insulting my character and trampling on my dignity.
“I, Wang Teng, will not do such a thing.
“Even if I were to offend the Third Prince and die in the process, I will defend the dignity of the military. Don’t even think about bribing me.”
Wang Teng’s voice became louder and louder, becoming thunderous in the end.
“You… shut up!” Swait was shocked and furious.
This Wang Teng is mad. To dare reveal this matter.
If people were to learn that the Third Prince was trying to cut a private deal, it would definitely make them think that he held the military court in contempt, damaging his own image.
Others would definitely use this as an excuse to attack the noble.
He was offending the Third Prince!
Even if others were to refuse, they wouldn’t dare to do it like that.
This Wang Teng is too shameless. Dignity of the military? Loved by the generals? All of it was to intimidate.
Huo Qiya and the others started fuming upon hearing this.
This person actually threatened our commander using the Third Prince’s name!
This is outrageous!
“…” Round Ball was stunned.
How is this possible?
This tactic was completely unexpected.
His ability to intimidate others is too good.
“Why? You dare to do it but you don’t dare to admit it? Is that all the dignified Third Prince can do, to hide?” Wang Teng said disdainfully.
“Bastard, the Third Prince is an incomparable talent and a prominent figure. How dare you insult him?” Swait was enraged.
The moment he finished speaking—he suddenly realized what he said. His expression changed drastically.
Him speaking of the Third Prince’s involvement was completely different than when mentioned by Wang Teng.
Uttering his name was tantamount to confirming the latter’s claim.
He was basically confessing that the prince himself asked him to find Wang Teng and negotiate to drop all charges against Crofts.
Things look… bad!
“What? The Third Prince wants commander Wang Teng to withdraw his charges against Crofts!”
“How could the Third Prince make such a decision?”
“Commander Wang Teng is a true role model for our generation. He even dared to speak up and offend the prince, all for the sake of the military’s dignity.”
“That’s right. Commander Wang Teng is a true role model for us.”
“Commander Wang Teng has offended the Third Prince. We must testify for him so he doesn’t suffer.”
…
There were a bunch of martial warriors surrounding them during Wang Teng’s loud statements; everyone heard the conversation clearly. Given that Swait had confirmed the fact, the truth was exposed and they were convinced.
Swait’s expression was extremely ugly. He looked pale and was on the verge of vomiting a mouthful of blood.
“No.
“This has nothing to do with the Third Prince.
