101 Each With Their Own Ulterior Motive
At the East End Dojo.
Guan Shan, who was discussing important matters, saw that someone had come to inform him that his son had been injured in the Resplendent East Restaurant. His face clouded over instantly.
“This unfilial son always causes trouble for me!”
Guan Shan trembled with rage. If not for the fact that Guan Kai was his only son, he would have crushed that son to death with one slap.
Hearing the informer’s report, Guan Shan gave a scornful sneer and said, “A mere Martial Master dares to act so impudently in my territory. It seems that the recent incident has made others think that my East End Dojo can be pushed around easily.”
“Dojo Master, I’m willing to go and teach that Martial Master a lesson!”
“I’m also willing to go and spread the name of our East End Dojo!”
All the veteran Martial Masters took the initiative to volunteer. They were all mature and experienced members. They could curry favor with this new dojo master and rise through the ranks in the East End Dojo. They could also show off their might, so why not?
Seeing that so many members had taken the initiative to volunteer, Guan Shan nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that his prestige in the East End Dojo was not bad, despite taking charge only recently.
Guan Shan said in an icy tone, “Then I’ll have to trouble all of you to bring back the corpse of that Martial Master.”
Although this unfilial son of his had caused him trouble, his son’s reputation was at stake. He had to kill the person who injured his son as a warning to others.
Suddenly, the Resplendent East Restaurant attracted the attention of the cultivators in the East City District. Everyone wanted to see who was the foolhardy chap that dared to provoke the East End Dojo.
“Hehe! He must have a screw loose or something. He thought that after Tan Jun died, the East End Dojo’s power would be diminished.”
“He didn’t even use his brain to think. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. He thinks that he’s Lu Yu and can antagonize the East End Dojo.”
The onlookers jeered and poured scorn. They had parked themselves near the Resplendent East Restaurant very early on, waiting to watch this free show.
“Everyone, look! Those five are the Martial Masters of the East End Dojo!”
“The leader is Chen Motian. He participated in the Holy War back then and once tore a D-class Fearsome Beast apart with his bare hands. More than 70 years have passed and Old Chen has already advanced to the peak level of a Martial Master. He has become so much stronger.”
“Yes, he certainly lived up to his reputation as a Martial Master. When he walks, he exudes a terrifying might that makes people tremble.”
A group of cultivators spoke from afar, their faces filled with reverence.
That was not all. Other than Chen Motian, the other four elders were also Advance Martial Masters!
Meanwhile, Lu Yu was enjoying the meat dishes on the table at the Resplendent East Restaurant. After finishing his meal, he still felt that it wasn’t enough and asked Wang Kang to serve another table of dishes.
As his strength increased, Lu Yu, who possessed the Gluttony Talent, also had an astonishing appetite. Even Wang Kang was stunned. He had never seen a Grand Master who could eat so much.
Lu Yu, who had just finished chewing and swallowing a piece of beef steak made from blood crystals wild yak, took a sip of tea and said indifferently, “The people from the East End Dojo should be almost here.”
Wang Kang, who was waiting at the side, bowed deeply and said, “Honorable Mr. Lu is right.”
“Alright, you can stop pretending now. I’m afraid you’re the happiest person here, right? Not only did you make use of my hand to get rid of the person you hate, but you also got away without any blame. Is that right, Boss Wang?”
Lu Yu suddenly grinned and said with a hearty laugh.
Wang Kang trembled once and knelt on the ground in fear at once, saying, “Honorable Mr. Lu, please forgive me. I was blinded by greed and did such a thing. Even if you want to kill me, please spare my family.”
Since he couldn’t continue with the lie, Wang Kang decided to play it straight. He admitted that his wife had been beaten up by Guan Kai a month ago and was still lying in bed. That was why he felt such a strong grievance and came up with this trick.
Guan Kai, who was lying limply on the ground, glared angrily until his eyes almost popped out. He wanted to kill Wang Kang outright. Wang Kang might have vented his anger, but now, Guan Kai’s life was in danger.
“Get up. I’ll let bygones be bygones this time, but don’t repeat this again,” Lu Yu said sternly. “From now on, I’ll eat and stay at your restaurant for free. How about it?”
“Free, all free. As long as Honorable Mr. Lu is willing, I can even give this restaurant to you.”
He thought that even if he didn’t die, he would still be skinned alive. However, he didn’t expect that not only did he not receive any punishment, but he also obtained such a huge benefit.
Wang Kang was overjoyed. Letting a Grand Master eat and drink for free was equivalent to free promotion for his restaurant. His business would only become better and better.
At this moment, Chen Motian and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the Resplendent East Restaurant.
Chen Motian said, “Fellow comrades, let’s work together, kill the scoundrel,
and save our Young Dojo Master Guan.”
The four Martial Masters nodded in unison. “Of course.”
Chen Motian assumed the role of the leader and continued, “When the time comes, I hope that everyone will listen to my orders and not act rashly. Otherwise, you may provoke the scoundrel and he may go on to injure Young Dojo Master Guan.”
The four Advance Martial Masters became visibly upset instantly.
“Such tantalizing missions were hard to come by and there were so many of us. If we follow your orders, all the credit will go to you for good leadership. Then what will happen to us?” they thought.
“He’s just a Martial Master. How can he compare to us veteran Martial Masters? Brother Chen is thinking too much. In my opinion, the moment we appear, that scoundrel will be scared out of his wits. Haha…”
The other Martial Masters quickly echoed the same sentiments. Seeing this, Chen Motian’s face darkened ominously. These guys were determined to fight with him for the credit.
As he couldn’t completely fall out with them, he could only say, “Then when the time comes, let’s play it by ear.”
Just like that, the five Martial Masters with ulterior motives entered the Resplendent East Restaurant.
Wang Kang, who had been waiting for a long time, pretended to be an innocent bystander in this fracas. When he saw the gang of five led by Chen Motian, he cried piteously and said, “Martial Masters, you’re finally here. If I hadn’t tried my best to hold back the scoundrel, I’m afraid Young Dojo Master Guan would have lost his life.”
When he saw another person trying to claim credit, Chen Motian was very displeased, but he still said, “Boss Wang, it’s been hard on you. By the way, what’s the strength of that scoundrel?”
Wang Kang pretended to recall. “He’s an Intermediate Martial Master. That aura is too terrifying. I was so scared that I couldn’t even stand up straight. He has two Junior Martial Masters with him to assist as well.”
“When they found out about Young Dojo Master Guan’s identity, not only did they not let him go, but they became even more vicious and tortured him badly. They threatened that if they didn’t get a good price, they would not release him.”
On hearing this, the five Martial Masters were overjoyed. So it was only an Intermediate Martial Master. It seemed that the success of this mission was assured.
Chen Motian said with a sneer, “Hmph! His ambition is higher than the sky, but his fortune is leaner than paper. Greed will take his life!”
The other four Martial Masters looked at one another and dashed through the door of the private room when Chen Motian wasn’t paying attention.
By the time Chen Motian realized what was going on, he was already cursing in his heart. These guys had actually hidden their plan from him and stood on the same side in order to grab more credit for themselves.
The next second, the door was broken open by a wave of true energy. The sight of Guan Kai, with his hands and feet bound tightly, appeared before the eyes of Chen Motian and his four comrades.
“Young Dojo Master Guan, don’t panic. I’m coming to save you!”
When the five of them saw Guan Kai, they were like five overly excited old men who had seen a peerless beauty. Their eyes lit up and they rushed forward, stumbling over each other.
