"Are you talking behind my back again? I can tell just by looking at your faces." Evan Chu said at this moment.
"No, we're just curious how our Grand Protector-General will look making a fool of himself in front of all these people. Wonder what that feels like." Selena said with a laugh.
"Xuan, I've always treated you well, so why would you think that? How about when we get back, I take extra good care of you and keep you in bed for a whole day?" Evan Chu grinned, a mischievous look on his face.
"Shameless guy, always spouting nonsense all day long. You're already a father, when are you ever going to fix that rotten habit?" Selena shot Evan a glare.
The passersby on the street were all gossiping about Evan Chu’s group. Especially the younger men—seeing ten stunning beauties appear at once, their eyes nearly popped out. Was this some kind of beauty contest? It was almost blinding.
"Who’s that young guy? How does he have so many gorgeous women following him? And I recognize a few—they’re the Grand Protector-General’s women from the General’s Manor!"
"He’s the Grand Protector-General! I never thought he’d have so many women—he’s living the dream. If I could have even one woman that beautiful, I’d die happy."
"With your looks, you think you could get a woman? Go look in the mirror! And why did he suddenly come back this time? It’s really strange."
"I bet someone’s going to be out of luck today. There’s bound to be a good show coming up—hahaha!"
Evan Chu felt a surge of pride at all the stares. It had been ages since he’d strutted out in front of everyone like this, and the feeling made his mood soar.
He turned to the women and said, "The Royal Capital has plenty of rare and curious things—why not go buy a few souvenirs as keepsakes? Who knows when we'll be back next. Just remember, no hurting anyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Selena Yale and the other women all headed off toward the nearby shops. In an instant, only Evan Chu, Goldwing, the Savage Earth Dragon, and the rest—plus the guards—were left on the street.
Evan Chu kept strolling leisurely down the street, thinking how different things were compared to when he first came to the Royal Capital. Back then, he had to risk his life just to get past the city guards. Now, as the Grand Protector-General, he was revered by all—and if he wanted, he could take the throne in a heartbeat.
It wasn’t long before a commotion broke out behind him. Evan Chu could just make out Serena Dream’s voice—she sounded furious, like someone was harassing her.
Evan Chu smiled and said to the Savage Earth Dragon, "Go bring the troublemakers over here. Today I'll do a good deed—consider it helping Skylar Yule lighten his load."
The Savage Earth Dragon immediately walked over. Right then, two extravagantly dressed young men were surrounding Serena Dream and Lynne Nie, saying something. Judging by the furious looks on the women's faces, it was definitely something nasty.
"I’m the son of the Minister of Rites of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. If you come with me, you’ll have endless wealth and glory. Running into me today is your lucky break, and you still refuse? Are you looking down on me?" one of the young nobles said.
"Why bother wasting words, Zhang? Let’s just have our men drag them back. There’s two of them—one for each of us, how about it? But from what I can tell, neither of these women are virgins. Fun for a fling, but not wife material." the other young man sneered.
Serena Dream and Lynne Nie’s faces turned icy. If Evan Chu hadn’t told them not to injure anyone in the city, they would’ve killed these two on the spot. At most, these two had Xuanwu Realm cultivation—so weak it was laughable. One casual move would end them.
Just then, the Savage Earth Dragon appeared in front of Serena Dream and Lynne Nie. "No need to get angry, sisters-in-law. Big Brother already knows what’s happening and sent me to take these guys away and vent your anger."
Serena Dream nodded and said nothing more, but the two young men grew indignant. "Do you even know who I am? How dare you act so brazen in front of me—are you tired of living?"
"No need to waste words on people who don’t know their place, Zhang. We should just have them killed. In the Royal Capital, everyone knows who we are—even Skylar Yule has to show us respect. Why bother talking to some bumpkin like him?" the other youth said.
The Savage Earth Dragon didn’t get angry—instead, he just laughed. "So you think you’re so important, huh? No one dares mess with you, right? Well, today I’ll show you if anyone dares mess with you or not."
As soon as he finished, he reached out and grabbed both of them, lifting them up and heading toward Evan Chu. The two struggled desperately. "Let us go! If you dare touch me, you’re dead!"
The two kept swinging their fists, trying to break free from the Savage Earth Dragon’s grip, but every punch landed with a massive backlash, making their teeth ache. Eventually, they gave up resisting.
The Savage Earth Dragon’s defenses were far beyond what these pampered weaklings could ever break. The fact their wrists weren’t broken from the recoil was already lucky. Serena Dream turned to Lynne Nie and smiled, "At least Linfeng has a conscience—he sent someone to help us out. If he hadn’t told us not to hurt anyone, I’d have killed those two myself. People like that are useless anyway. Let’s see how Linfeng handles them."
"If the Savage Earth Dragon hadn’t come, I was about to take action myself—I don’t care what Linfeng said. If someone insults me, they die. I doubt Linfeng would say anything; if his women are bullied, he’d never side with outsiders," Lynne Nie replied.
The commotion was so loud that Selena Yale and the others noticed and hurried over to Evan Chu. Soon, the Savage Earth Dragon brought the two young men before Evan, and the crowd grew. Those who knew Evan’s identity realized the two nobles were in for trouble.
Others who didn’t recognize Evan thought he was the one in trouble, daring to discipline the most arrogant playboys in the Royal Capital. Many even worried for him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to disrespect me? Release me and kneel to apologize—maybe then I’ll let you go. Otherwise, when my father arrives, not even the King of Heaven could save you," one of the nobles threatened.
"Kid, you actually dared to have us seized. You’ve got guts. If you let me go and have your woman spend the night with me, maybe I’ll spare you. Otherwise, this time next year will be your funeral," the other sneered.
Evan Chu burst out laughing. "Excellent, excellent! Guards—cripple these two’s little birds. Let’s see how they’ll chase women after this!"
