The day that the last 16 matches of the Inter-Generation tournament will be held. Xiao Wang, Xiao Fu, Xiao Mei, Xiao Die and Xiao Lei were currently walking towards the match hall. It looked as though Xiao Lei was taking the distance of Xiao Wang's plan.
Indeed, before they walked, Xiao Wang had time to question Xiao Lei regarding the incident last night. Meant just to lure the man. But the answer given by Xiao Lei was precisely so convoluted. The man also even snapped at Xiao Wang by saying that Xiao Wang had no right to question where and from last night.
The five people almost reached the hall, but their steps were stopped when confronted by a group of people.
Dressed luxuriously, the group of people walked over.
"You're Xiao Wang, aren't you?" ask the one who is the youngest of the others. But the people standing behind him seemed to respect him.
He is Rou Shi. He is the representative genius of the Fire Kingdom and the son of King Rou.
Xiao Wang responded by giving a small nod. "Yes, I am Xiao Wang."
"Hmm," A small ridge was engraved on Rou Shi's lips. "Good... I just wanted to give you an interesting offer. I'll give you this badge if you lose the match for a while!"
Rou Shi showed off the badge he was referring to. While Xiao Wang only furrowed his brows. He had only seen the badge for the first time. Carved very carefully, to create a perfect image that is very difficult to imitate by anyone. Not only that, the materials from the badge itself were extremely rare to find in any part of the world. Even with a weight that reaches hundreds of grams.
"I–it... Protective Badge." Xiao Die said a little jolted when he found out what badge Rou Shi was holding.
While Rou Shi himself responded with a cynical expression. "Really... This is the Protective Badge. That thing was so sought after by all the Cultivators in the entire empire. With this thing, one could enter and enter one empire into another safely. Got special protection from the Empire against the territory of the Empire he came. And this was only owned by the imperial family as well as some special kingdoms that entered the criteria, such as the Fire Kingdom!"
Proudly, Rou Shi explained the functions as well as advantages of the Protective Badge.
Hearing the explanation as well as the advantages of the repeated Protective Badge was so incredible, how could Xiao Wang and the others not be interested?
"Hmm, interesting. I'll consider your offer!" without saying much, Xiao Wang then seized the Badge.
"Thank you!"
On the other hand, Rou Shi as well as the others who were in that place rounded their eyes looking at the action that Xiao Wang had taken earlier.
"You—!" said Rou Xiao with high intonation. He pointed at Xiao Wang's face, because the man had been disrespectful to him.
"Hehehe... Didn't the Lord Crown Prince of the Fire Kingdom have offered me this badge? You want me to lose, right? Take it easy, I will definitely fulfill master's offer!" xiao Wang said deliberately calling Rou Shi by the name of Master. Then he saluted Rou Shi and the entourage that was behind the man Afterwards invited Xiao Die and the others who were still staring to leave just like that.
Meanwhile, Rou Shi did not know what to say. Because it was he who offered Xiao Wang himself with the badge. Badges are very rare, even among the 4 kingdoms in the Han empire, which have such badges only in the Fire kingdom. That's just one fruit.
Actually Rou Shi would not seriously give Xiao Wang that badge. And only intended to deceive Xiao Wang. But everything is out of control. The badge had been in Xiao Wang's hands, while he himself could not take it back, being consumed by his own words.
Somehow his father's reaction when he found out the badge had moved into someone else's hands.
"Crown Prince, why did the Prince just give the badge to her? Didn't I tell you from the beginning not to play around with that badge?!" said a man who was a general of the Fire kingdom, as well as the teacher of Rou Shi. The intonation he let out was also irritated.
Rou Shi was silent for a moment. Take a deep breath, then answer, "Uncle just calm down. After he loses, then we can reclaim that badge!" rou Shi said with great tact.
Although he looked calm on the outside, but in his heart the man was extremely panicked.
***
Xiao Wang as well as the others had entered the hall.
"Xiao Wang, why did you take that badge for a fee lose just like that. Are you more concerned with your personal interests than the Xiao clan!" Xiao Lei said in a high tone. Furious at Xiao Wang's decision earlier.
"Yes, Son. Although it was very valuable, but still the reputation of the clan must take precedence. I've been hoping for more against you, but you took defeat for granted just because of that badge!" Xiao Die also said she was not happy.
Xiao Wang did not immediately respond. His face still remained calm like there was no problem at all.
"Who said I'd lose just like that. After all, even if I lose, Rou Shi still won't let go of me just like that after taking out this Protective badge!" answer it calmly.
Xiao Die and the others fell silent at Xiao Wang's reply, simultaneously furrowing their brows.
"You mean, you're gonna renege on that deal?" ask Xiao Die.
"Not really!"
Xiao Wang's second answer made everyone silently dumbstruck. Somehow this path Xiao Wang thought.
Meanwhile, Xiao Lei could not keep quiet. He then again said, "But still your stupid actions will have an impact on us who are here. So was the Xiao clan itself. The Fire Kingdom had great influence as well as close ties with the Empire. They could suppress the Xiao clan with youth... Didn't you think about that? Oh yeah, because you're basically stupid, so take the stupid way of thinking like that!" In a displeased and furious tone, Xiao Lei said.
Xiao Wang turned his head towards Xiao Lei for a moment with the tail of his eyes. "See, just tell me you want to take this badge, right?" he said with a cynical tone.
"You–"
Xiao Lei could not say. Indeed his heart intent had been read by Xiao Wang. His brain quickly turned around to take a reason.
"How dare you accuse me of such foolish accusations."
Xiao Wang was still in a calm mode, he then approached Xiao Lei.
"That's it, Elder Lei. I've already known your rotten– plan." Getting closer, then Xiao Wang whispered softly in Xiao Lei's ear. Every whisper that was made, the man pressed it to the heart of Xiao Lei. "You're involved in a grand plan, which will be run by the Red Dragon group."
Deg.
As if electrocuted, Xiao Lei fell silent with eyes that glared in disbelief. For years, no one knew his plan. But this time, he heard Xiao Wang mention it himself. Between fear and worry, Xiao Lei looked at Xiao Wang still in disbelief.
It was fortunate that Xiao Wang's voice could not be caught by Xiao Fu, Xiao Mei and Xiao Die. So that Xiao Lei could still be said to be safe now. But is that security going to last long?
Xiao Wang back to back–kan little grin. Then he patted slowly the shoulder of Xiao Lei who was still silent at that time. After which, he walked towards the participant seat. Leaving the four of them.
Meanwhile, Xiao Die, Xiao Fu and Xiao Mei themselves were curious about what Xiao Wang had said to Xiao Lei, leaving Xiao Lei speechless as he was today.
