âWhat?! Eleventh on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard?! How is that possible?â Fu Zhiyun wondered aloud. âI donât believe it⦠I donât believe this at all! If he is that strong, then why did he have to join the elimination competition anyway? He is just a low-ranking starfield commoner! His combat power is only 200,000!â
The twenty people standing there did not believe it either. How could a youngâun like Chen Xiaobei possess the strength to sit on the eleventh spot of the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard?
âYou impudent brat! How dare you speak of such conceited nonsense! I will teach you a lesson on your fatherâs behalf lest would you bring disaster to our Fu family!â Baihu Fu roared, and then started pounding and kicking Fu Zhiyun.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Baihu Fu was not just putting on a show. He really did give Fu Zhiyun a mighty good beating until Fu Zhiyun was screaming and rolling all over the floor with his hands around his head.
âCould⦠Could thirteenth uncle be rightâ¦? Could that kid really be ranked eleventh on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard?!â
Fu Zhiyunâs men wondered in a worrisome note, suddenly filled with a deep sense of fear.
In the Fu family, Baihu Fu was a lower-middle core member and Fu Zhiyun was the family heir.
Baihu Fu would not have been so heavy handed with the boy unless the person that Fu Zhiyun had wronged was a powerful person that the Fu family could not afford to be enemies with.
The twenty men trembled as they put away their weapons and began to slowly step backward. There were billions of people in the nine zones. Those who could get on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard were people with a bright future. They were considered as a one in a billion prodigy! With that, no one dared to lift a finger on Chen Xiaobei.
âMiracle Doctor⦠You⦠really areâ¦â Bro Huo stared at Chen Xiaobei, lost for words.
On the other side.
The guard in black seemed troubled. âThatâs impossible⦠Our intel collection is first-class⦠Yet we have nothing at all on this kidâ¦â
âI knew there was more to him!â The man in red robe said. The expression on his face was unreadable. âWho knew that there would be an elite like him under the age of thirty outside of the nine zones! Even in Apocalypse Starfield, thereâs no one of the same age who could compare to him!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The guard nodded. âDid he come from a rock? How did he suddenly rise all the way up to number eleven on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard⦠It seems almost unbelievableâ¦â
âCome on, letâs go talk to him!â The man in red robe said. âHe is qualified to be my friend!â
âYes, sir!â The guard followed behind.
âThirteenth uncle⦠Have mercy⦠Oww⦠I will die if you keep hitting me⦠Oww! I wonât do it again⦠I swear⦠I wonât⦠Owâ¦!!!â
Fu Zhiyunâs face had ballooned with ugly shades of blue-black, his white clothes now soiled in patches of dust and blotches of blood. Even as he was screaming, blood poured from his mouth. His injuries were really quite severe.
âApologize to Childe Chen! I will stop hitting if forgives you!â Baihu Fu bellowed.
âHave mercy, Childe Chen⦠I was wrong⦠I wonât do it again⦠I beg you please⦠forgive me⦠I will die if this continuesâ¦â Fu Zhiyun dared not say anything otherwise.
Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrow at him. âI can forgive you but I have two requests! First, you battered up Bro Huo badly, so you have to pay 800,000 Spiritual Stones in medical fees! Second, I want you to arrange a job for Bro Huo. If he is involved in any accidents, I want the entire Fu Family to be buried next to him!â
âIâll pay⦠Iâll pay 1 million low-grade Spiritual Stonesâ¦â Fu Zhiyun cried.
Bro Huo was confounded.
He was a merely a frontline soldier on the peripheral planet of Saint Duke Starfield. Never in his life had he seen what 1 million Spiritual Stones looked like.
Now, he was still trying to digest the fact that Chen Xiaobei had just made him a millionaire in a single dictation!
âI will arrange a job for him!â Baihu Fu said. âFrom now on, Ahâ Huo will be working with me as an orderly in the government office! If he performs well, I guarantee that he will be promoted to a higher post!â
âI⦠I can join the government? And⦠and have a chance of getting a promotion? My god⦠Am I dreamingâ¦â Bro Huoâs eyes were parted so wide they looked like they would fall out of the sockets.
The government office was Saint Duke Imperial Cityâs heart where countless people cracked their heads in trying to get a job there.
A person like Bro Huo from humble origins without a rich historical background or well-heeled connections could never ever dream of landing a job in the government office.
But Chen Xiaobei had just paved such a bright and promising path for him!
Bro Huo felt as if he was dreaming â an extremely impossible but wonderful dream!
âAh Huo! Youâre not dreaming! Come with me! I will take care of everything!â Baihu Fu beat his chest as a gesture of promise.
âAl⦠rightâ¦â Bro Huo managed to softly croak, an almost demented smile hung on his lips.
He had never thought that due to Chen Xiaobeiâs appearance in his life, it would become so drastically different.
It felt like he was sitting on a rocket, blasting off into the skies!
âChilde Chen⦠Can you forgive me nowâ¦? Iâm dying here⦠I really am dyingâ¦â Fu Zhiyun begged, still throwing up mouthfuls of blood. It was pitiful and pathetic sight.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. âAlright. Since youâre so well behaved, Iâll let this matter pass!â
Only when Chen Xiaobei said that did Baihu Fu stop his beating. âChilde Chen, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll take this brat back to have his wounds tended to, and then set Ah Huo up with a job!â
âGo ahead!â Chen Xiaobei waved his hand. âBro Huo, if things here are not to your liking, give me a call anytime!â
âMiracle Doctorâ¦â Bro Huo cupped his fist and bowed to Chen Xiaobei. âThank you, Miracle Doctor! I will always remember your kindness!â
Because of Chen Xiaobeiâs support, Bro Huo could enjoy comfortable and fair sailing days in the government office.
Bro Huo had no idea how he could ever repay such a big favour. He could only keep this close to his heart and hopefully, be able to have a chance to repay Chen Xiaobei in the future.
After that, everyone left with Baihu Fu.
Chen Xiaobei did not leave. He turned around to face the corner of the street and said, âFriend, since youâve already come, why donât you just show yourself?â
The man in the red robe and his guard walked out.
The man smiled, âAllow me to introduce myself â I amâ¦â
Chen Xiaobei cut him off. âI know you. You are the youngest prince of Neptune, Ao Lianchang! Fourth on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard!â
