Wang Chao stared at the dagger in front of him, remaining silent.
"Wang Chao, you wrongly accused Zhao Chongyang and violently attacked him, causing him serious injuries. This is your fault, and you must pay the same price for your actions!" Zhao Shenbing stared at Wang Chao with sharp and icy eyes, emanating a strong killing intent. "If you don't have the courage to do it yourself, I can help you!"
Zhao Shenbing clearly knew that Zhao Chongyang was the mastermind behind this incident, but how could he let the Zhao family lose face?
That's why he subtly hinted earlier, allowing the chief physician and the bartender to take the blame.
This way, Zhao Chongyang could distance himself from the situation, and the Zhao family would have the opportunity to hold Shen Bing and Wang Chao accountable, turning the tables. Perhaps they could even make Wang Chao pay a price.
"Zhao Shenbing, do you really think that you can suppress me with such petty tricks?" Wang Chao retorted.
"This is not about suppression. The Zhao family simply wants justice!" Zhao Shenbing replied.
"You distort the truth and still claim to seek justice?" Wang Chao almost burst into laughter.
Were the members of the Zhao family all mentally ill?
It was clearly their own people who made the mistake. If it weren't for Wang Chao's keen intuition, Shen Bing would have fallen victim to Zhao Chongyang's schemes and suffered unimaginable humiliation.
Yet, the Zhao family turned around and claimed that he was at fault, demanding he pay a price. It was ridiculous!
Swish!
Wang Chao extended his hand, manipulating an object from a distance and grasping the dagger on the floor. He smiled and said, "What kind of price do you want me to pay?"
Manipulating objects from a distance?
Seven-Star War God level?
Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Shenbing's expression subtly changed, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He could also manipulate objects from a distance, but he could not do it as effortlessly and naturally as Wang Chao. It was evident that Wang Chao's strength exceeded his imagination, surpassing his own abilities.
If a real fight were to break out, he would probably not be a match for Wang Chao.
He stared at Wang Chao, his face gloomy.
Wang Chao had displayed this ability to intimidate him.
However, there was no turning back at this point. If he retreated, what face would the Zhao family have left?
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Shenbing said with a determined tone, "You injured the young master of the Zhao family, so you must pay a price by severing one of your arms!"
"Oh, I see."
Wang Chao remained calm, throwing the dagger in front of Zhao Shenbing. He said, "I can't do something so gruesome. Why do not you do it for me?"
Zhao Shenbing's expression changed again upon hearing this.
What did Wang Chao want by asking him to do it?
"Wuwuwu!"
Zhao Chongyang immediately started whimpering, hoping Zhao Shenbing would step forward and mercilessly beat Wang Chao.
Zhao Shenbing also followed Wang Chao's lead and manipulated the dagger from a distance, holding it in his hand. His eyes remained fixed on Wang Chao, his expression changing unpredictably, unsure of Wang Chao's true intentions.
Wang Chao rolled up his sleeve, extending his arm and said, "Come on."
Upon seeing this scene, everyone present looked at each other in confusion.
Wang Chao was the person who dared to brutally beat Zhao Chongyang, arrogant and domineering. How could he willingly let someone else cut off his hand?
There must be a trick!
"Alright, I'll do it!"
Zhao Shenbing gritted his teeth, firmly gripping the dagger, and fiercely swung it towards Wang Chao's arm.
The blade's aura swept through, creating a deep pit in the ground!
Terrifying and boundless!
Even before the blade arrived, the gust of wind it produced was already painfully stinging.
In fact, everyone present felt an incredibly chilling aura, causing their skin to prickle and their scalps to tingle.
"If Wang Chao doesn't dodge, he's done for!"
Almost everyone had this thought in their minds.
Especially Zhao Chongyang, he laughed maliciously, his gaze fixed on Wang Chao, as if he could already see the gruesome scene of Wang Chao's hand being severed.
Faced with such a fierce strike, Wang Chao remained expressionless, without dodging or evading.
"Stop!"
Just as the dagger was about to strike Wang Chao's hand, Shen Bing quickly got up from the sickbed and loudly intervened.
"Stop!"
At the same time, a shout came from outside the door.
The dagger stopped 1 centimeter above Wang Chao's arm.
The sharp blade aura cut through the hair on Wang Chao's arm.
However, Wang Chao's skin showed no signs of injury.
Zhao Shenbing's gaze turned icy as he looked towards the entrance of the medical room.
An elderly man in Tang-style clothing, almost 70 years old but still full of vitality, appeared at the door and walked inside.
Behind the old man were three middle-aged men with vigilant gazes, exuding a majestic aura.
"Grandfather."
Zhao Shenbing's expression changed, and he immediately put away the dagger, showing utmost respect.
Zhao Chongyang's eyes were also filled with astonishment.
How could Grandfather of the Zhao family be here?
As the Zhao family's patriarch approached, he glanced at the scene, his expression turning grim when he saw Zhao Chongyang covered in blood, with fresh blood on his knees.
The other three middle-aged men, upon seeing Zhao Chongyang's pitiful state, wore unpleasant expressions on their faces, but their eyes revealed undisguised disgust and schadenfreude.
While Zhao Chongyang was indeed the young master of the Zhao family, he was not the son of any of those three men.
Moreover, Zhao Chongyang had been causing trouble and engaging in various wicked acts within the city, tarnishing the reputation of the Zhao family. As a result, these three men despised him for what he had done and took pleasure in his misery.
Shen Bing, now wearing clothes to cover herself, approached Wang Chao and examined him, her gaze filled with concern. "Brother Wang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. He can not hurt me," Wang Chao replied calmly.
He had the confidence to extend his arm to be struck by Zhao Shenbing without sustaining any injury.
Seeing Wang Chao unharmed, Shen Bing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandfather, why have you come?" Zhao Shenbing quickly put down the dagger and went to greet the old man.
"Wu wu wu!!" Zhao Chongyang also hastily spoke up, making wailing gestures with his hands in the air.
He wanted to convey that he wanted the Zhao family patriarch to stand up for him and vent his anger on his behalf.
"You disgraceful scum! Take him away and treat him on another ship. Without my permission, he cannot stay on this ship," the Zhao family patriarch coldly commanded.
"Yes, sir," a man behind the Zhao family patriarch nodded and approached Zhao Chongyang.
"Wu wu wu (Second Uncle, it's not my fault, do not take me away)!!!" Zhao Chongyang's expression changed, and he quickly gestured with his hands, sweat streaming down his forehead in panic.
Bang!
Before Zhao Chongyang could finish speaking, his second uncle had already thrown a punch, knocking him unconscious. Then, like dragging a dead dog, he dragged Zhao Chongyang out of the medical room.
"Grandfather, what are you..." Zhao Shenbing frowned.
Although Zhao Chongyang was a debauched and outrageous waste, he was still a member of the Zhao family. With the patriarch's actions, was not he just humiliating himself?
The Zhao family patriarch ignored Zhao Shenbing and instead approached Wang Chao.
Shen Bing's expression turned cold, and she quickly stood in front of Wang Chao, speaking in a deep voice, "Zhao family patriarch, what do you intend to do?"
At that moment, the Zhao family patriarch suddenly kneeled before Wang Chao, showing utmost respect. "I, Zhao Xiaosheng, pay my respects to the Lord!"
"We pay our respects to the Lord!" The two middle-aged men accompanying the Zhao family patriarch also kneeled, showing utmost respect.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Zhao Shenbing, in particular, was stunned, completely at a loss.
What was happening?
