Chapter 229: Chapter 229 - Crushing Defeat
Staring at the intimate photograph of Mabel Sean and Mason Raymond mounted on the wall, the young man’s entire body shook with rage!
"That bastard..." he snarled under his breath, his eyes turning bloodshot as fury blazed through his chest!
"Young Master..." his companion whispered fearfully.
The young man drew in a sharp breath and lifted his hand, preparing to tear down these photographs.
Just then, the rumble of an engine echoed from outside.
Glancing sideways, he spotted an Audi RS7 pulling up.
The young man’s expression hardened, and he immediately spun around and strode out.
His followers hurried after him.
——
In the courtyard.
I stared at the car bearing Capital City plates, excitement flashing through my eyes!
"Could Mabel be here?" I whispered to myself.
With this thought, I rushed toward the house.
But just as I reached the doorway, I crashed straight into the young man.
His body felt incredibly solid, like hitting a brick wall.
I looked up at him and frowned. "Who are you?"
Instead of answering, he smirked coldly. "The King of Chuzzle? Pretty impressive."
Uncertain about this young man’s identity, I replied politely, "That’s just talk. I’m just a regular guy."
"You know it’s just talk?" His face grew icy.
"You also know you’re nothing but a common peasant?" Then he roared even louder!
My expression slowly hardened.
Clearly, this person was hostile, not friendly.
"Who are you?" I stepped back and asked coldly.
"This is our Young Master Vance Johansson, heir to the Johansson family of Capital City!" his follower announced loudly.
My eyebrows drew together slightly.
The Johansson family of Capital City?
Why haven’t I heard of them?
"I don’t know any Johansson family. What do you want?" I frowned.
"You don’t know the Johansson family? How dare you!" The follower flew into a rage at these words!
Just as he was about to strike, Vance Johansson raised his hand to halt him.
"It’s natural for a peasant like you not to know our Johansson family," Vance Johansson said with indifference.
"I just need to tell you that our Johansson family stands equal to the Sean family, and that’s sufficient."
Equal to the Sean family?
This Johansson family was truly extraordinary!
I frowned and said, "I don’t believe we’ve met."
Vance Johansson’s eyes narrowed. "But I know you! How dare a lowly peasant from Chuzzle lust after the Sean family’s princess? What punishment should you face!"
Hearing this, I completely understood.
This guy was most likely a love rival.
I smiled and said, "Miss Sean and I care for each other. What’s wrong with that?"
Vance Johansson sneered. "Are you, a lowly peasant, fit for Mabel Sean?"
I frowned. "Sir, I may be just an ordinary person, but aren’t your words a bit harsh?"
"Harsh?" Vance Johansson broke into laughter.
"What, does a lowly peasant like you want respect too?" Vance Johansson said, eyes narrowing.
My face gradually grew cold.
I took a deep breath, holding back my anger, and said, "Please leave now. You’re not wanted in my house."
"Oh?" Vance Johansson raised an eyebrow.
He looked down on me completely and continued, "You, a lowly peasant, still dream of rising above your station and becoming something grand? Do you understand what it means to marry within your class?"
"I don’t," I said with a cold expression. "I only know that I care for Mabel Sean, and she cares for me. That’s all that matters."
"As for the status you mentioned, I believe that someday, I’ll be worthy of Miss Sean."
These few words completely enraged Vance Johansson!
A terrifying aura erupted from him!
An oppressive force spread outward!
My face changed!
This Vance Johansson’s power was beyond imagination, even surpassing anything I’d seen from Conrad Schroeder!
"Do you honestly think you deserve to be with Mabel Sean?" Vance Johansson said, eyes narrowing.
"Apart from Jerry Sean, not one person in the entire Sean family supports you!"
"Right now Jerry Sean is alive and can make decisions. But what happens after his death?"
"I had someone predict that Jerry Sean’s lifespan is no more than two years! When that time comes, how will you marry Mabel Sean?"
Hearing Vance Johansson’s words, my expression shifted slightly.
I took a deep breath and said, "It’s true that I’m not worthy of Mabel Sean and the Sean family has every right to look down on me."
"But I believe it won’t be long before I can marry Mabel Sean openly and honorably," I said with confidence.
Upon hearing this, Vance Johansson acted as if he’d heard the world’s biggest joke!
"How pathetic for those at the bottom. A small place like Chuzzle has blinded your vision," Vance Johansson mocked.
"You can’t possibly think you’re some genius? In Capital City, there are countless people like you!" Vance Johansson shouted.
I said coldly, "I do have considerable confidence in myself."
"Confidence?" Vance Johansson’s face turned cold.
"Fine, I’ll crush your confidence today!"
With a loud shout, Vance Johansson stepped forward!
The terrifying oppressive force made my bones crack!
I couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, even being pressed down by the pressure on my body!
"Today, I’ll show you that garbage will always be garbage." Vance Johansson raised his fist and casually struck down!
I didn’t dare be careless! I quickly activated Saintly Body Skill and Archaic Sacred Fist, meeting the attack directly!
Using all my trump cards from the start, I showed maximum caution!
"Boom!"
Our fists collided, creating a thunderous crash!
However, the golden light on my fists was instantly shattered!
With just one casual punch, Vance Johansson destroyed my ace in the hole!
"Boom!"
Another punch sent my body flying!
Inner Strength flooded through my body instantly!
Though only my fists were hurt, I could clearly feel that my entire body had taken damage!
"King of Chuzzle? Is that all you’ve got?" Vance Johansson sneered repeatedly.
I gritted my teeth, trying to rise from the ground, but found myself completely powerless!
Vance Johansson walked over to me and planted his foot on my head.
"This world isn’t something you lower-class people can comprehend," Vance Johansson said coldly.
"Even your most prized strength is easily crushed by me. What makes you think you can compete with me?"
"If I wanted to kill you, I could stomp you to death right now!"
I struggled desperately, yet my body wouldn’t move!
Vance Johansson’s foot ground against my body as he squinted and said, "Trash, just give up honestly. Whether it’s your background or your talent, it’s all worthless before me."
I glared at Vance Johansson fiercely, gritting my teeth and said, "You are where you are today only because of your family’s resources!"
"If you were like me, starting with nothing, I guarantee you’d be worse off than I am!"
"In just over half a year, I’ve risen from nothing to where I am today, while you, relying on your family’s endless resources in Capital City, are merely a Grandmaster."
"Between the two of us, who’s really the trash!"
