He walked out of the lounge.
“I’m not going up to the banquet.” Xiao Changge was ready to leave.
Asura asked, puzzled, “My lord, this banquet was held specifically for you.
If you don’t go, it can’t continue.”
“Then just cancel it.”
Xiao Changge said nonchalantly.
The main reason was that he didn’t want to see the Four Great Female War Gods; otherwise, there would be more marriage proposals.
Right now, he really didn’t want to get involved in romantic affairs.
Asura had no choice but to hurry to the top floor and announce that the banquet was over.
And just like that, the most high-profile banquet in the history of East Sea City came to an end.
The many powerful families of East Sea City still had no idea who the reception was for, but given their status, they didn’t dare to ask too many questions.
Xiao Changge had originally planned to leave directly.
As for the Su family’s birthday banquet, he naturally had no intention of attending.
But just then, he saw a shady-looking person carrying a woman on his shoulder as he was leaving.
“Su Jiayin?”
Xiao Changge immediately recognized the woman on the man’s shoulder and shouted, “Let that girl go!”
“Kid, you dare meddle in my business?
Do you have any idea who I am?” Cao Tiancheng said angrily.
“I don’t care who you are.
She’s my friend.
Let her go!” Xiao Changge said flatly.
“Well, kid, you’ve got some nerve.
Get him!” Cao Tiancheng ordered with a wave of his hand.
Behind Cao Tiancheng were two lackeys, who charged at Xiao Changge with vicious looks on their faces.
BANG!
BANG!
But in an instant, Xiao Changge had knocked both of them to the ground, unable to get back up.
“Kid, you’ve got some skills.
But I am Young Master Cao of the Cao family, Cao Tiancheng!”
“Let me give you a piece of advice.
Scram before I get really angry.
Otherwise, I’ll make you regret being born into this world— Ah!”
Seeing his two lackeys fall, Cao Tiancheng didn’t panic, still relying on his superior status as he announced his identity.
But the words had barely left his mouth when a miserable scream escaped his throat.
Xiao Changge had thrown a punch straight into Cao Tiancheng’s chest.
CRACK!
The sound of a bone shattering rang out.
Cao Tiancheng’s sternum was broken, and a section of his chest had even caved in.
He lay on the ground, howling in agony.
Even if he survived, he would likely be crippled for life.
How could Xiao Changge not know what this Cao Tiancheng was trying to do?
That was why he hadn’t hesitated in the slightest.
Besides, the guy’s surname was Cao!
This was just a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!
The commotion here quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers, and even members of the Su family rushed over.
“Ah?
Young Master Cao?”
The Su family members cried out in alarm.
“It’s you, kid!” Su Bingtian’s face darkened, especially when he saw his own daughter being held up by Xiao Changge.
“Changge, what’s going on?” Wang Mei asked hurriedly.
Xiao Changge handed Su Jiayin over to Wang Mei and pointed at Cao Tiancheng.
“This guy was trying to do something indecent to Jiayin.”
“Bullshit!”
“Young Master Cao is a man of status.
Why would he need to resort to such schemes?”
“Besides, we were already planning to matchmake Young Master Cao and Jiayin.
How dare you lay a hand on him?”
How could any of the Su family members believe Xiao Changge’s words?
Someone else checked Cao Tiancheng’s injuries and their face went pale.
“He’s crippled…
Young Master Cao has been crippled by him!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Su family gasped.
Just who was Cao Tiancheng?
He was the son of East Sea’s overlord, Cao Hu!
Cao Hu was an imperial merchant.
To become an imperial merchant meant having a status and standing far beyond that of any ordinary prominent family.
Furthermore, the Su family was hoping to rely on the Cao family to become imperial merchants themselves.
And now, Young Master Cao had been crippled, just like that.
Master Su looked coldly at Su Bingtian.
“Is this the person you brought?”
Su Bingtian’s expression sank.
He roared at Xiao Changge, “You will have to give the Cao family an explanation!”
Xiao Changge said, “Heh, as it happens, I was just about to demand an explanation from them!”
Hearing this, the Su family members all thought he was being completely unreasonable.
‘This guy must be insane.
Crippling Young Master Cao and then wanting to demand an explanation from the Cao family?
Isn’t that just asking for death?’
“Changge, you…
you should leave first.
If the Cao family sends someone, it’ll be all over,” Wang Mei said, her face pale.
“We can’t let him leave!
He has to give the Cao family an explanation.
Otherwise, what if the Cao family takes their anger out on us?” Su Bingtian said with a ferocious expression.
The rest of the Su family thought he had a point, so they all moved to block Xiao Changge, preventing him from leaving easily.
Naturally, word that Cao Tiancheng had been crippled soon reached Cao Hu’s ears.
He had come today for Asura’s banquet, but it had ended abruptly.
He hadn’t even left yet when he learned that his son had been crippled.
The moment Cao Hu arrived, everyone on the scene held their breath, not daring to even breathe too loudly.
When he saw the wretched state of his son, veins bulged on his forehead.
“Who?
Who crippled my son?!?!”
