Evan Chu glanced at the young girl, noticing that her features closely resembled Princess Ivy—if anything, she was even more beautiful. But the wicked smirk on her face left him speechless. The people around clearly knew she was falsely accusing the middle-aged man, but though they were angry, none dared speak up, only whispering quietly among themselves.
This kind of thing was what Evan Chu hated most—otherwise, he wouldn't have almost killed his own son before. "Looks like I have to step in and deal with this unruly girl, or she'll never learn her place. If she ever runs into a real expert, she'll be in for a rude awakening," Evan muttered.
"Aren't you afraid Ivy will be angry? You haven't been by her side for years, and now you finally meet your daughter only to bully her?" Faye Knox laughed.
"Didn't I almost kill Cheng before? Now that I know she's my daughter, of course I'll show some restraint. Just watch—if Ivy really does get mad, just put in a good word for me," Evan Chu replied.
"Do as you like, but I hope you know where to draw the line. Remember, women can be very unreasonable," Faye Knox chuckled.
At that moment, Evan Chu stepped up to Lena Chu and said, "This girl really is something else—so arrogant, actually framing an honest, ordinary man. Is there no law in Chushade City anymore?"
Lena Chu glanced at Evan Chu and found him rather handsome, but his mouth was foul—he'd insulted her right off the bat. Her expression changed instantly. "Kid, this has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to die, you'd better get lost—otherwise, I'll kill you along with him."
"I do want to die, but I haven't figured out how yet. Honestly, your strength doesn't seem all that impressive—I'm not sure you could even kill me if you tried. It's hard to die these days!" Evan Chu rambled.
Lena Chu paused, suspicion flashing in her eyes. "Is this guy crazy or just looking for trouble? In Chushade City, everyone knows my name—it's always me bullying others, never the other way around."
"Kid, you really do have a death wish! Fine, I'll grant it—tell me how you want to die, and I'll make sure it happens," Lena Chu declared.
Being called 'kid' over and over was seriously annoying to Evan Chu. He was her father, and yet she dared call him 'kid'? She must be itching for a lesson—but now wasn't the time to teach her.
"Do you even know how to talk? Didn't your father teach you anything? Ever heard of respecting your elders? People as rude and unruly as you are really rare," Evan Chu said.
"You think you're worthy to mention my father? My dad was once the strongest in the Netherworld, and you dare talk about him? You're dead!" Lena Chu roared, finally lifting her foot off the middle-aged man and kicking at Evan Chu instead.
That kick came with the sound of wind and thunder. If it had hit an ordinary martial artist, they'd be lucky to survive at all. It was clear Lena was truly angry, but Evan Chu wasn't bothered in the slightest.
He stood there without moving a muscle. When Lena's kick was about to land, he simply tilted his body to the side and dodged it with ease. "So you actually know how to fight, huh? Too bad it's all flashy moves—no real power at all."
"No power? If there's no power, then why did you dodge?" Lena Chu snapped.
"Didn't you see how clean my clothes are? If you kicked me, they'd get dirty, and that would look terrible. Can't you even figure that out? Are you stupid or something?" Evan Chu laughed.
"Kid, I'm killing you today—just so you know how strong I am!" Lena Chu was even angrier now, which was exactly the reaction Evan Chu wanted.
With a flash, Evan Chu shot straight into the sky. "Hey, you unruly brat, I don't have time to mess around with you. I'm outta here!"
Seeing Evan Chu take to the air, Lena Chu immediately followed, flashing upward herself. A silver longsword appeared in her hand. Evan remembered that Princess Ivy always used a whip—he hadn't expected his daughter to be a swordswoman instead. It was a bit odd.
Evan Chu wasn't flying very fast, but Lena Chu still couldn't catch up. Down on the ground, Faye Knox sent a message to Princess Ivy. She'd meant to surprise Ivy, but hadn't expected to run into Lena instead.
Evan Chu couldn't stand watching Lena Chu bully people, so he prepared to step in and teach her a lesson—make her realize her mistake.
"If you've got guts, stop running!" Lena Chu yelled in midair, furious that no matter how hard she chased, she couldn't catch up to the infuriating youth ahead of her.
Evan Chu's flight stayed within Chushade City, which made Lena feel even more humiliated. Her stunning face was now twisted in anger.
Suddenly, Evan Chu stopped and said, "You're Lena Chu, right? All you ever do is bully people, huh? Well, today you'll find out what it's like to be bullied yourself. Aren't you supposed to be powerful? Show me your martial skills!"
Lena Chu was startled—she hadn't expected this annoying guy to know her name. She gripped her sword tightly and unleashed a powerful martial technique at Evan Chu. As she did, the whole space trembled; Venerable Martial Realm experts really did have terrifying attack power.
If that sword strike had landed on the city below, it might have destroyed half of it. After unleashing the attack, Lena Chu felt a bit of regret, because the youth opposite her wasn't resisting at all—he just stood there, smiling calmly, which baffled her.
It was too late to pull back, so she could only watch as her sword, trailing fierce sword energy, slashed into him. Yet the youth seemed not to notice at all—he kept smiling, leaving Lena Chu utterly confused.
Bang! A huge crash rang out, but there was no blood spraying, no severed limbs—on the contrary, Lena Chu was blasted dozens of meters away before she managed to steady herself. At the corner of her mouth, a trace of pale gold blood appeared.
Evan Chu was shocked to see the pale gold blood—he hadn't expected Lena Chu to have the chance to transform into a Golden Dragon. His offspring were truly exceptional.
At that moment, Lena Chu stared at Evan Chu in shock. She knew exactly how powerful her sword strike was—it could flatten a mountain. Yet this youth was completely unharmed.
Instead, she herself had been blasted dozens of meters away. Such incredible defense was unheard of—maybe only her legendary father, Evan Chu, could do this.
Lena Chu was rattled now, staring at Evan Chu in panic. "Who are you, really? Why are you making trouble for me?" she asked.
"So now you know what it's like to be bullied? But I haven't even bullied you yet—you're the one attacking me! You want to know who I am? Of course I'm your father. Who else is qualified to teach you a lesson?" Evan Chu said.
Evan Chu was telling the truth, but to Lena Chu it sounded like an insult—an insult to her most respected father, Evan Chu. Even though he hadn't been there for her, she knew it was only because his strength had forced him to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Now this youth dared insult him—she couldn't let that go.
Even if she wasn't his match, she was determined to make him pay. Gritting her teeth, she raised her sword, preparing to unleash another powerful martial technique.
Just then, several figures appeared in the sky. Evan Chu saw that Faye Knox and the others had arrived. "Lena, stop right now!" a familiar voice called out from above... (Where are my monthly votes? Waaa!)
