"Pfft~"
The three sect leaders were considered important figures in the Holy Domain, but unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, no matter how powerful they were, they could only kneel and speak.
As the saying goes, "coolness lasts only three seconds." At this moment, Yang, Li, and Wang completely lost their initial high spirits. They vomited blood on the spot and knelt before Shen Zhao like dead dogs, completely at his mercy.
Apart from the three, Dong Chao and his sister, Xu Shuyu, and Feng Sanniang also knelt upright, awaiting Shen Zhao's judgment.
In addition, the entire hall, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, was filled with men and women lying on the ground, all of whom were incidental spoils of war that Shen Zhao had knocked down with his iron fists.
"You still dare to attack me? I told you it's all for fun, and you guys still don't accept it?"
Shen Zhao took a small sip of wine to moisten his throat, then pointed at the group and said.
"Just asking, are you still awesome?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Chao was about to utter some harsh words, but he restrained himself and turned his head away.
*Snap*
The next second, a crisp slap sounded on his face.
"You dare hit me?"
*Snap*
In response, he received another slap.
"I'm asking you a question, are you still so cocky?"
Shen Zhao stepped on his face.
"Damn it, you even dare to covet my wife, how many of you have the guts to think like that?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Chao immediately shouted, "I told you there was an inside story, but you didn't believe me. Now you've heard it, he's admitted it himself!
"Manager Feng, he's cheating! Cheating! Cheating!"
Feng Sanniang immediately turned her face away, not wanting to have any more entanglement with this idiot.
Whether it's cheating or inside information, is it still our turn to have the final say? You useless piece of shit, don't you even understand the situation? They're clearly not afraid of your status as the Prince of Xiliang.
Sure enough, the next second, Shen Zhao's foot rubbed hard against Dong Chao's face!
"Damn it, this is the romance between us as husband and wife. You guys are just a bunch of tools.
"This candlestick-like thing really thinks it's the main character? You son of a bitch, I'll crush you, you piece of trash, today!"
"Stop, stop, stop stepping on my handsome face. How can I attract women's attention in the future if you step on it? Stop stepping on me, I'll pay you. Isn't it okay to pay me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao's feet stopped moving.
How much money are you planning to give?
"ah?"
Now it was Dong Chao's turn to be surprised.
After all this time in a relationship, you can avoid being beaten just by giving money?
Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?
"Brother, just tell me how much you want. I, Dong Chao, don't have anything else, but I have plenty of spirit stones."
"Okay! You said it, so don't go back on your word."
As he spoke, Shen Zhao immediately announced a number: "I don't need much. Just hand over one million high-grade spirit stones, and you can leave now."
"What? One million?"
Dong Chao was shocked when he heard this.
"My Xiliang Palace doesn't even have one million high-grade spirit stones a year, you're just asking for it."
*Snap*
What greeted him was a heavy slap in the face.
"What, you can't afford to show off your wealth? A poor guy trying to pick up girls? I really don't know where you get the courage."
Ultimately, besides having a reliable father, you're just a useless good-for-nothing!
After hearing these words, Dong Chao broke down.
"You, you're talking nonsense. I'm the prince of Xiliang Palace..."
"See what I'm saying. You only rely on the status your father gave you. Without it, you'd be worse off than the guy selling sesame cakes next door."
In an instant, Dong Chao's worldview was greatly shaken.
He carefully considered Shen Zhao's words and then reflected on his own life experiences over the past thirty years.
It seems there's some truth to that.
But he was unwilling to admit it: "No, you are talking nonsense. I, Dong Chao, can be where I am today because of myself!"
Shen Zhao sneered and began a new round of psychological warfare: "I'll just ask you, you've left your father, the King of Xiliang,..."
Without the status of a prince, who the hell would take a piece of trash like you seriously?
Even if you possess all these skills, you only got them because of your father.
Putting aside all that, you're just someone who's neither good-looking nor talented.
Who the hell would take you seriously?
At best, he'd spend the rest of his life washing dishes at a restaurant in Huayang City, enjoying beautiful women and fine wine.
Keep dreaming. People need to face reality.
Don't always use what others give you as a reason to show off, understand, you piece of trash?
Dong Chao was deeply shocked; it seemed that no one had ever said such a thing to him before.
Yes, without the status of a prince, and without Dong Zhongying as a backer, what am I?
Why did I never think about these things before?
Suddenly, a sense of oppression swept over him, giving him a strong feeling of frustration.
Shen Zhao sneered, immediately drafted an IOU, slapped it in front of him, and continued, "For example, this IOU for one million high-grade spirit stones. If it were your father, he would definitely agree to it without hesitation."
Because your father is a man destined for great things, he wouldn't care about these material possessions. He has the ability to earn back the money he's lost.
But you can't do that. Who do you rely on for what you eat, wear, and use?
They're all your fathers. Without your father, what can you do?
"I'm afraid even eating will be a problem, so do you consider yourself a useless person?"
"No, I am not a good-for-nothing. I, Dong Chao, have never stooped to using my background to intimidate others. I am where I am today because of my own hard work!"
With tears streaming down his face and filled with resentment, Dong Chao had been completely manipulated by Shen Zhao's manipulative tactics.
Shen Zhao sneered: "Then do you dare to sign this IOU? Do you dare?"
