Ai Yuhe looked back and saw a strapping young man walking into the restaurant.
“Didn’t you tell me you were meeting a very important client? Don’t tell me that this pretty boy is that client of yours!” The young man pointed at Ling Jiu, resentment filling his eyes.
He felt he had been cheated.
How could this pretty boy be a very important client?
“He is that important client. What’s wrong with it?” Ai Yuhe furrowed her brows.
“An important client? A pretty boy?”
The young man sneered. “Yuhe, I have gone through a lot of trouble, even getting help from Mr. Ai, just to have lunch with you.”
His eyes reddened. “But you stood me up for a pretty boy! Yuhe, what is your relationship with this pretty boy?”
“Do I need your permission to have lunch with anyone at all, Chang Jiandong?”
Ai Yuhe continued. “So are you done yet? Why do you have to act this way every time? Fine. Please leave immediately since you are not listening!”
“Leave? I will. But before that, I want to know who this pretty boy is and why you stood me up because of him.”
While speaking, he suddenly grabbed at Ling Jiu. “Follow me out there, you pretty boy!”
The young man’s move was quick and brutal. Ling Jiu did not see it coming and was caught by his throat.
The powerful grab lifted him and flung him out of the restaurant.
Luckily, Ling Jiu could react agilely to this sudden occurrence. He did a somersault in midair, avoiding an embarrassing fall by landing on his two feet. Even then, he was furious.
‘I am here just to have lunch, yet someone sees me as his romantic rival!’
‘Are you stupid or something?’
“Are you mad, Chang Jiandong?”
Ai Yuhe got to her feet angrily.
“Give me a moment, Yuhe. Let me deal with this pretty boy first!”
After saying that, he darted out of the restaurant with fury in his eyes. “Don’t you know my rules, kid?”
“Rules?”
Ling Jiu had a stern look in his eyes.
“The last time a pretty boy tried to chat up Yuhe, I broke his legs. The one who came before that last one became paralyzed after being hit by a truck!”
Chang Jiandong smirked. “And you are even more awful. How dare you ruin my hard-fought chance! How do you like to die?”
“I have no idea about what your rules are. But I know you must be an idiot!”
Ling Jiu looked at Chang Jiandong, as if he was a retard. “A person like you wants to date a girl? Perish the thought! If I were Miss Ai, I will not consider you, even if all the men in the world have died. You are a retard, idiot!”
“You must have a death wish!”
Infuriated, Chang Jiandong stomped his foot on the ground, which cracked in an instant. Using a terrific bouncing force, he launched himself at Ling Jiu like a bolt of lightning.
“Child’s play. You are wasting your time!”
Ling Jiu sneered as he raised his right hand slowly. “Shinratensei!”
Boom!
A burst of horrible power sent Chang Jiandong flying backward.
“Punk!”
Chang Jiandong kipped up to his feet. The next moment, his body ballooned rapidly, and he turned into a ten-meter-tall giant in just a matter of a few breaths.
His body was as tall as a three-story building with his knotted muscles looking like a wall of steel. Blue veins popped up on his forehead.
Chang Jiandong looked like the Titan mentioned in the myth, exuding a terrifying, murderous aura. The coldness in his eyes was intimidating as if it could freeze everything over.
“You have pissed me off, kid!”
His voice was forceful like a great bell, carrying endless anger. “I will smash your bones and crush your skull to let you know the consequence of pissing me!”
“Chang Jiandong!”
Ai Yuhe had now lunged out in furious. “Are you done yet?”
“Yuhe, this pretty boy is harassing you. I won’t let him off!” Chang Jiandong said coldly.
“Whatever he does to me has nothing to do with you!”
Ai Yuhe was extremely infuriated. “And let me tell you, I will not even consider you, even if all the men in the entire world have died! Don’t harass me again. Otherwise, we won’t be friends anymore.”
“How could you treat me like this for the sake of this pretty boy, Yuhe?”
What Ai Yuhe said came like a bolt from the blue. He looked at her in disbelief; she had never said such a thing to him last time. He was in great distress.
Meanwhile, Ai Yuhe utterly went bananas at hearing what Chang Jiandong said. Can’t you understand how I treat you has nothing to do with Ling Jiu?
But she had still underestimated how stubborn Chang Jiandong was. After a moment of daze, Chang Jiandong suddenly glared at Ling Jiu.
“It is you! It is all because of you! You shameless pretty boy! Yuhe wouldn’t have treated me like this if not for you! I will kill you!”
Ling Jiu had no word for it. How could anyone be so stupid?
“Die!”
Chang Jiandong roared as he flung a punch at Ling Jiu. Despite in Gigantization form, his movement did not slow down but become even faster.
“Truly a retard!”
“Shinratensei!” Ling Jiu waved.
Boom!
Chang Jiandong was flung again even though he was now a ten-meter-tall giant with a tenfold increase in his strength. He still had a glass jaw in front of Shinratensei.
Ling Jiu could already suppress a 30-meter-tall Titan Tempest Ape with his Gravity Arcana, let alone a person like Chang Jiandong.
“D*mn it!”
The battle became meaningless. No matter how enraged Chang Jiandong was, he could not get near Ling Jiu.
It became a lopsided battle, as Shinratensei had completely suppressed him.
“Knock it off!”
As Chang Jiandong lunged back after being sent flying again, Ai Yuhe made her move, freezing him on the spot.
“Let’s end it here!”
Ai Yuhe did not even bother to look at Chang Jiandong as she turned to Ling Jiu. “We will go to another place.”
“Sure.”
They paid and left the restaurant. It was not until they had gone a far distance could Chang Jiandong free himself. He fell to his knees and howled. “No! No! No...”
...
“I am sorry for what happened just now!”
Ai Yuhe forced a smile after switching to another restaurant. “I didn’t expect that this problem of mine would get you involved. I am sorry about that!”
“It’s okay! I bet anyone would have gone mad in facing such an admirer.”
Ling Jiu waved with a smile. “But I am surprised by how mad you could be. You terrified the hell out of me.”
As Ai Yuhe blushed, Yang Ling-er quickly came to her rescue. “She has a soft temperament. Just that she was really pissed just now.”
“I can see that.”
Ling Jiu nodded in acknowledgment. “We lose our temper now and then.”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It ruins the mood.”
Ai Yuhe looked at Ling Jiu. “You are not half bad at all. I am surprised that you could have him in the palm of your hand. Don’t forget that he is one of your four greatest contenders!”
“I just got lucky.”
Ling Jiu let out a faint smile. “I wouldn’t be so confident if you were my opponent. Your Dimension Arcana is the best-in-class!”
“It is all right.”
The incident earlier had spoiled their mood. They no longer had the appetite. So after getting a quick bite, they went out for a walk.
It was the time for Ling Jiu to return to the company. Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er knew what he was going to do, and were eager to tag along.
So they were back to the company together.
