Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian was stunned, and so was everyone else present.
They had seen the arrogant, but indeed, they had never seen someone as wildly arrogant as Lin Mo.
Xu Fei's face also turned incredibly pale. Having been in the Imperial City for so long, he was certainly familiar with the names of Ye Nantian and Ye Kai.
Not to mention the Military God Ye Nantian, Ye Kai himself was an untouchable presence.
Xu Fei's face immediately filled with urgency, "Boss, you better leave now. I'll take the blame for this incident. If we wait for Ye Kai to come, then none of us will be able to leave."
Xu Fei was very clear that it was to help him that Lin Mo had taken action and injured Yang Bo.
He was also very clear about how terrifying the person standing behind Yang Bo was.
But he had already made up his mind, regardless of how this incident would unfold, to take on everything by himself.
Yet Lin Mo remained unmoved, his expression even more extraordinarily calm.
The surrounding onlookers were abuzz with discussion:
"This guy really has a death wish, doesn't he? Do you know who Ye Kai is? He is the second peak figure in Huaxia's Martial Arts and the only son."
"Even putting aside that identity, Ye Kai's own status is enough to scare a whole bunch of people to death!"
In everyone's view, no matter how composed Lin Mo appeared now, the moment Ye Kai arrived, they would definitely see Lin Mo tremble!
Meanwhile, Wang Xi, upon seeing that Lin Mo had actually crippled Yang Bo's legs, her gaze immediately grew colder:
"It seems you really have no clue. Ye Kai is the most outstanding young talent in Huaxia today, unmatched in both strength and status, belonging to the peak!"
"Today, not only will you not be able to handle the consequences, but even your family and forces behind you will be ruined!"
Wang Xi said triumphantly, holding in her mind the belief that only a man like Ye Kai was worthy of her utmost admiration.
Even to the extent that if Ye Kai were willing, she could unlock any position for him, no matter how extravagant!
As for Lin Mo, she initially thought him to be the most unique and handsome person she had encountered, but now it seemed that apart from his arrogance, he was utterly worthless!
At that moment, Wang Xi spoke to Lin Mo again: "I forgot to tell you, Ye Kai is already on his way, prepare for the trembling."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Mo finally slightly lifted his head, speaking indifferently, "Such an ant is glorified so highly by you all, I'm genuinely curious where you get your sense of superiority from."
Hearing this, everyone's gaze gathered on Lin Mo.
Wang Xi's face turned extremely cold in an instant:
"An ant? Do you know what kind of existence the 'ant' you speak of is?"
"Ye Kai's Martial Power has already stepped into the realm of Martial Venerate! His father is the renowned Military God Ye Nantian, shaking Huaxia with his might; I think you are the true ant!"
"I really want to see, when Ye Kai arrives, if you can still be so wildly arrogant!"
Wang Xi sneered continuously, her face flickering with smugness.
Xu Fei could only offer a bitter smile; Lin Mo's character had always been so cold and wildly arrogant, but this time, Xu Fei felt there might be no way out.
After all, standing behind Yang Bo were Ye Kai and the Military God Ye Nantian.
At this time, Zhang Qian bit her lip and addressed Xu Fei and Lin Mo, "You should hurry and leave! Otherwise, it might be too late."
But Lin Mo remained unmoved; Zhang Qian took a deep breath and continued:
"I admit, this incident is my fault, Xu Fei has done nothing wrong, but ultimately this society is pragmatic, and every girl has her own aspirations!"
"I did have feelings for Xu Fei, but, that's not the love I want, I can only say I'm sorry."
Glancing at the distraught Yang Bo, Zhang Qian advised, "Lin Mo, you and Xu Fei should leave now. I'll plead with Yang Bo; perhaps, he'll be generous and not hold it against you too much."
Zhang Qian knew very well, with Lin Mo's personality, once Ye Kai arrived, a tragedy was bound to ensue.
At that point, there would be no chance for redemption.
However, Lin Mo's expression was detached, and his tone indifferent, "It seems you didn't quite understand my earlier words. Let me tell you again; even if the Military God Ye Nantian himself arrives, he will only have the option to beg for mercy in front of me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone thought Lin Mo had gone mad; Wang Xi burst into complete derision, "Beg for mercy?"
She had just heard the biggest joke in the world. Among the younger generation in the entire Imperial City, only Ye Kai was the strongest!
And what qualifications or capabilities did this seventeen-or-eight-year-old boy have to utter such words?
Whoosh!
At that moment, a clamor of footsteps echoed, and everyone's gaze shifted accordingly.
Immediately after, several voices of respect filled the air:
"Young Master Ye, you've arrived?"
"Good day, Young Master Ye!"
"He's here! Ye Kai has arrived!"
Wang Xi's heartbeat quickened, thumping audibly, and even her cheeks flushed, clearly infatuated with a man at the pinnacle of excellence like Ye Kai.
In her eyes, no young man from Imperial City could compare to Ye Kai.
"Young Master Ye!"
Wang Xi took the initiative to greet Ye Kai, displaying every ounce of a woman's charm and hoping desperately that he would remember her.
Ye Kai glanced at her and asked indifferently, "Who injured my brother?"
When Ye Kai looked at her, Wang Xi's heart nearly melted; she immediately pointed in Lin Mo's direction and said, "That young man over there, the one who's eating!"
Ye Kai turned his gaze to the young man who was bowing his head in his meal, feeling a sense of familiarity.
He then glanced at Yang Bo's injuries and furrowed his brows, "Isn't this a bit too ruthless? My brother is not someone to be bullied by just anyone!"
Seeing this, Huang Qinglong, Wang Xi, and Yang Bo all grew excited.
The angrier Ye Kai was, the graver the consequences would become!
And when Ye Kai was enraged, those consequences were truly unbearable!
The next second, Ye Kai, with hands clasped behind his back, walked swiftly to Lin Mo and spoke with a cold tone, "You hurt my brother; don't you think you should give me a satisfactory explanation?"
"Do you think you have the right to demand a satisfactory explanation from me?"
Lin Mo continued eating his meal without even lifting his head, his voice indifferent.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Had this guy lost his mind? Ye Kai was here, yet he still dared to be so insolent.
"Heh! Regardless of status or strength, I, Ye Kai, am the strongest among Imperial City's youth. Nobody has ever dared to be so arrogant before..."
"You talk too much!"
Slap!
The next moment, an extremely crisp sound rang out.
Wang Xi's heart leapt with joy subconsciously, thinking that the slap must have been delivered by Ye Kai!
However, when everyone looked over, they saw a clear handprint on Ye Kai's face.
"You..."
Ye Kai, holding his cheek, was filled with disbelief and rage.
"What 'you'? Kneel down!"
Lin Mo spoke coldly; it was only then that he lifted his head.
"Lin...Lin Mo!"
Recognizing Lin Mo's face, Ye Kai was almost scared out of his wits and, without any hesitation, he knelt down in front of Lin Mo with a terrified thud.
Witnessing this scene, the crowd was utterly dumbfounded.
They could never have imagined Ye Kai being slapped and not only failing to retaliate but also prostrating himself before Lin Mo.
This was not how the story was supposed to go!
Wang Xi's legs nearly gave out in fright; the Ye Kai she held in such high regard, the figure of awe, was now kneeling before Lin Mo like a dog?
Lin Mo glanced indifferently at Zhang Qian and said in a detached voice, "This is your choice? The peak of life you speak of?"
Zhang Qian subconsciously looked at Ye Kai. Where was the poise of the pinnacle of Imperial City's youth?
He was shaking intensely, ashen-faced, and pleaded desperately, "Mr. Lin, spare my life! I had no intention of provoking you on my own!"
Zhang Qian's face turned deathly pale in an instant, her eyes filled with disbelief. The Ye Kai, believed by her and everyone else to be the pinnacle among the youth, was now less than a dog in front of Lin Mo!
(The wonderful story continues tomorrow. Goodnight.)
