Chapter 663 Bluffing
"Brother Wang, what is that place you were talking about? I'm really curious," Liu Yifei asked with genuine interest from inside the speeding motorhome.
Not just her, but Zhang Long and Shen Bing were also looking at Wang Chao with puzzled expressions.
When Wang Chao and the Red Robed Envoy were talking in the room earlier, they kept mentioning 'that place' in a secretive and mysterious manner.
Hearing this, the three of them were utterly perplexed and had no idea what 'that place' referred to.
Wang Chao looked at them with a perplexed expression, saying, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I have no idea what that place is."
"What?" All three of them were stunned.
"Brother Wang, don't be joking. How could you not know that place?" Shen Bing said.
Wang Chao was exuding confidence when he spoke to the Red Robed Envoy earlier, especially about 'that place'. Now he claimed not to know where that place was? This was surely a joke, right?
Wang Chao's expression was serious as he explained, "I truly don't know about that place. I was just bluffing to deceive that person."
"What? This was also a bluff?" Zhang Long was surprised.
"Of course. For those who wander the martial world, how can we do without some bluffs? At that time, I had already expended a considerable amount of Genius Qi, and I was in a precarious situation."
Wang Chao smiled slightly and continued, "I could have easily wiped them all out with a single breath, but once the real fight started, I couldn't guarantee your safety."
"So, I decided to play along with what the Red Robed Envoy said. If he believed that I came from 'that place,' he would be wary of me."
"Once he considered me one of his own, he would act cautiously, and he would fear me. That's how I managed to intimidate them and drive them away."
Zhang Long, Shen Bing, and Liu Yifei exchanged bewildered and awed glances.
When they saw how convincingly Wang Chao had talked about 'that place' and the rules with the Red Robed Envoy, they genuinely believed that he was from 'that place.' They had no idea that it was all a bluff.
Wang Chao's acting and mental strength were truly remarkable, weren't they?
Even they had been duped by him!
Wang Chao remained composed and calmly said, "In battle, it's not always necessary to have stronger abilities than the opponent to intimidate them. Sometimes, all you need to do is exaggerate your own prowess and seize the initiative."
"Once you overpower them with your presence, they will naturally become timid. At that point, they'll expose weaknesses and fail to perform at their best."
"Before my strength reached its peak, when facing stronger opponents, I often used this Bluffing Technique to create an air of mystery."
"Believe it or not, it's very effective. It scared off many formidable foes."
Thinking back to his youth, he couldn't help but smile.
When you lack absolute strength, you have to rely on your wits. Bluffing is a skill you must master.
Zhang Long, Shen Bing, and Liu Yifei were amazed and increasingly impressed by Wang Chao.
The fact that he could scare away opponents who were stronger than him using this method and do it without revealing any flaws was truly remarkable!
If they were in his shoes, they might have already spilled the beans.
They drove in silence, and after about three hours, the motorhome arrived at a villa.
Joseph had been waiting in front of the villa for a while. When he saw Wang Chao and the others get out of the car, he immediately greeted them with a warm and friendly smile, "Mr. Wang, Miss Lian, we've been waiting for you."
"Come, come, please come inside."
"Mr. Joseph, it's been a while," Shen Bing smiled and shook hands with Joseph.
After shaking hands with her, Joseph warmly shook hands with Wang Chao, his face full of smiles, "Mr. Wang, your presence here truly honors us and adds luster to this place. It's a great privilege to have you here."
The reason he invited Shen Bing to attend the international medical conference here was primarily to show respect to Wang Chao.
After all, he had witnessed Wang Chao's incredible power on that Swan Cruise Ship. Witnessing the strength of the Dark Night Corps on that battleship was even more shocking. He deeply admired Wang Chao.
Now that he had managed to invite Wang Chao here, he felt greatly honored.
"No need to be so polite," Wang Chao smiled.
"Mr. Joseph, the last time I asked you to arrange for those girls, how did it go?" Shen Bing asked.
Joseph smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I've already arranged for those girls and the old man. Many of them have been sent back to their families."
Hearing this, Shen Bing immediately felt relieved and thanked Joseph, saying, "Mr. Joseph, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, those girls might have fallen into the wrong hands."
"It's nothing, it was just a small favor," Joseph said with a smile.
Zhang Long carried Shen Feng on his back and said, "Alright, Mr. Joseph, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and have a chat."
"Yes, yes, we can talk inside. Please come in, everyone."
It was only then that Joseph regained his composure and promptly led Wang Chao and the group into the villa, taking them to the prepared rooms.
"Boss."
After they entered the villa, Heavy Artillery Caesar came out from inside. When he saw Wang Chao and the others, he looked at Shen Bing and Liu Yifei, his eyes shining.
Even though Caesar was well-versed in White Eagle Country and had met countless beautiful Western women, they were all wild in their own ways. However, Shen Bing and Liu Yifei were not only exceptionally beautiful but also exuded the gentle, quiet, and delicate charm typical of Eastern women. This left him utterly fascinated, his mind went blank.
"Boss, who are these two?" Caesar quickly looked at Joseph.
"Caesar, you came at the right time. Let me introduce you," Joseph said enthusiastically. "This is Miss Shen Bing, President Shen, who will be our most important partner at Divine Medical Group in the future. And this is her boyfriend, Mr. Wang. In the future, you two should get along well. If you can learn even a little bit from Mr. Wang, it will be of great benefit to you."
Joseph had personally witnessed Wang Chao's tremendous power. Those war god-level experts had been defeated by Wang Chao without a fight; it was like killing chickens.
Although Caesar was also a war god-level expert, he was no match for Wang Chao.
He had paid a considerable price to recruit Caesar to his side, replacing the previous war god-level expert. If Caesar could learn even a little from Wang Chao, his strength would greatly increase. This would significantly bolster their team of experts.
Caesar looked Wang Chao up and down with disdain and said, "Mr. Joseph, you can't be serious, can you? You want me to learn from this skinny monkey? With one punch, I could kill ten of him. A guy like him can't possibly teach me anything."
As a war god-level expert with rich battlefield experience, he was ruthless, arrogant, and had a strong sense of pride. He believed he was exceptionally powerful and looked down upon Wang Chao, who appeared thin and weak.
"Who are you calling a skinny monkey?" Zhang Long's gaze turned cold.
Wang Chao, Liu Yifei, and Shen Bing also had somber expressions, their eyes unkind.
Caesar's words clearly indicated that he didn't regard them highly.
"What's the matter? Do you have a problem? If you're not convinced, use your strength to speak," Caesar sneered provocatively. "If you can defeat me and knock me to the ground, making sure I can't get up, I'll take back what I said and apologize to you. But can you do it?"
While speaking, he had a cold smile on his face, looking down on Wang Chao and Zhang Long with disdain.
As a war god-level expert, he had always looked down on people from the Dragon Kingdom.
Moreover, he had noticed that Shen Bing and Liu Yifei were looking at Wang Chao with affection in their eyes. It was clear that they had some feelings for Wang Chao. If he didn't put Wang Chao in his place or at least reduce his prestige, he wouldn't be able to take these two exquisite Eastern beauties.
This was why he challenged Wang Chao and Zhang Long, intending to undermine their reputations and boost his own.
"Defeat you?" Wang Chao was momentarily stunned.
"That's right, beat me, and I'll take back what I said," Caesar said provocatively. "But looking at you softies, you don't seem like strong guys. The term 'skinny monkey' really suits you."
Wang Chao chuckled in response.
It was evident that Caesar was trying to provoke them to make them angry, but even though Wang Chao knew this, he found himself getting a bit irritated after that chuckle.
Upon hearing Caesar's challenge, Zhang Long's gaze turned cold, his forehead veins pulsating with anger. "I think you're looking for trouble. A trash like you, I alone could take on a hundred of you."
"Skinny monkey, what did you say?" Caesar's eyes narrowed.
"I said you're just trash. I could take on a hundred of you single-handedly. If I weren't holding someone right now, I'd slap you and send you flying," Zhang Long retorted, unyielding.
"Seeking death!"
Caesar was furious. His eyebrows raised as he lunged forward with a powerful punch aimed at Zhang Long.
"Uncle Long, be careful," Shen Bing and Liu Yifei watched the scene, their eyes filled with worry.
Zhang Long's eyes turned cold, and he quickly dodged the punch, making it look effortless.
Caesar's missed punch left him somewhat surprised, but he continued taunting, "Oh my, I didn't expect that with your old bones, you'd still be so agile."
Seeing things develop this way, Joseph's expression changed drastically, and he immediately scolded, "Caesar, what are you doing? You must not be disrespectful to my guests!"
"Alright, boss, I'll give you face. I won't argue with these skinny monkeys," Caesar said indifferently.
"**!" Zhang Long, hearing this, his eyes grew even colder, like sharp knives. He handed Shen Feng to Wang Chao and said in a deep voice, "Wang Chao, help me carry Shen Feng. I'm going to teach this bastard a lesson."
Wang Chao took Shen Feng and asked, "Uncle Long, can you handle it?"
"I may not be able to defeat a Great King-level expert, but dealing with a brat like this is no problem," Zhang Long replied coldly.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you to teach him a lesson," Wang Chao said without emotion, holding Shen Feng in his arms.
Caesar's words didn't sit well with Wang Chao either.
But at this moment, Zhang Long was clearly even angrier.
His recent defeat against Chi Long and the other Great King-level experts had left him furious.
Now, Caesar had unwittingly become the outlet for Zhang Long's anger.
In fact, it was good for Zhang Long to have an opportunity to vent and not get beaten up all day, potentially leading to health problems.
Wang Chao put Shen Feng down, walked over to Shen Bing and Liu Yifei, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke it calmly.
"Brother Wang, why did you let them fight?" Shen Bing's eyes were filled with concern. "Uncle Long was injured not long ago. If Caesar hurts him, what will we do?"
She wasn't entirely sure of Caesar's strength, but he looked so formidable and menacing, it was clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Just moments ago, Zhang Long was defeated by Chi Long's people, and he likely had sustained some injuries. Even if he had taken the Essence Recovery Pills, his injuries might not have completely healed. Fighting someone else now would put him at a disadvantage.
"Yeah, Brother Wang, this guy looks so young and powerful. Uncle Long is in his forties or fifties, is he really a match for this young man?" Liu Yifei also asked with a caring expression.
Wang Chao exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Don't worry, Uncle Long is still strong, and he's more than capable of handling a reckless guy like this."
"Taking on such a brute is child's play."
His words were light, but they accurately reached everyone's ears.
Joseph almost burst into laughter upon hearing Wang Chao's response.
Caesar, who had been staring at Zhang Long, suddenly had a cold look in his eyes and glared at Wang Chao. "You bastard, who do you think you're calling a brute?"
"Of course, I'm talking about you. Are you suggesting it's me?" Wang Chao replied.
Caesar used words to provoke them, so he decided to counter it with words as well, trying to diminish Caesar's stature.
"Seeking death!"
Caesar's eyes turned cold as he unleashed his full strength. He transformed into a fierce gale and charged fiercely at Wang Chao, aiming a powerful punch at him.
The wind from the punch howled and felt like a stinging slap.
Faced with this fierce attack, Wang Chao remained unruffled, still smoking his cigarette.
Snap!
At this moment, Zhang Long appeared in front of Wang Chao, blocking Caesar's punch in time and said coldly, "Your opponent is me!"
