Although Ouyang Jun was the instigator, I couldn't shirk my responsibility. Instead, I used this opportunity to make the Ouyang family apologize. It was a wise choice.
Although I didn't have direct contact with the commander-in-chief, I knew some of his past from the praises and love of the commoners. Even when I was in Cloud City, he didn't expose me and continued to bear the pressure. Just this point alone made me feel good about him. Moreover, he was Little Cherry's only relative.
"Gah."
Old Master Ouyang was momentarily stunned. He had originally thought that by not haggling over this matter, he was already being lenient. But this little brat actually wanted both father and son to apologize. In this dojo, there were all sorts of big shots. If he was defeated, it would be a great humiliation, but this little brat actually wanted a foot after giving him an inch.
However, the commander-in-chief's face was full of joy. As the saying goes, a child can be taught. He was sure that Wan 'er wouldn't leak any information about this matter. In other words, I didn't know about the Ouyang family's Feast at Hongmen. Perhaps it was because of my previous guilt that I made such a domineering request.
He really didn't think that I, who looked young and inexperienced, could have such a comprehensive consideration. He had to admit that the commander-in-chief had some opinions before because Wan 'er had always emphasized that her body was clean. At worst, she would go to the hospital for a checkup. Gold fears no fire. He believed this without a doubt. After all, Wan' er was pure and innocent. It was impossible for her to repair her hymen.
It was just that Ou Yangjun was very suspicious. Due to my personal promise, this matter became an unresolvable misunderstanding. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't angry. Of course, the commander-in-chief was able to keep his composure. He didn't give me a warning either. Even when faced with the Hongmen Banquet, he only promised that he would punish me after the Elite Selection. This was a precaution. When he personally witnessed my incomparably brilliant performance, all his previous promises naturally vanished into thin air.
Most importantly, I have also considered the feelings of the Shangguan family. He felt a surge of warmth in his heart. All these years, there had been no lack of flatterers and bootlickers around him, but there were very few who could truly put themselves in his shoes.
As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. In this aspect, Shangguan Jie couldn't be compared with me at all. He had a unique identity, but he didn't understand the principle that trouble came from the mouth. Especially after drinking, he liked to talk big. If it weren't for the commander-in-chief's innocence, I would have been implicated by Shangguan Jie.
Of course, in the face of my forceful request, Master Ouyang shouted with a face full of displeasure. "Young man, this old man didn't bicker with you, and that's already being lenient. Yet, you want to make things difficult for me. Just what is the meaning of this?
The commander-in-chief and I are in-laws. Even if there's any conflict, it's a private matter. It's not your place to interfere! "
"Oh, then you don't have to be lenient. Let's continue to fight."
I raised my fist with a fearless look. To be honest, at this moment, my dark power had dissipated. In other words, I wasn't Master Ouyang's opponent, but I was gambling. I was gambling that he couldn't see through me.
Those people in the audience had a weird expression. It was obvious that they were gloating. They didn't expect that the mighty Master Ouyang, who could cover the sky with one hand, would actually be reduced to the point of being "a fish on the chopping block". It was really satisfying!
Master Ouyang frowned. Ten minutes ago, he still thought that my provocation was shameless, but at this moment, it had become aggressive.
He stared at me gloomily. It was a kind of oppressive force. Even if Master Ouyang was injured, he was still not someone I could deal with. However, I also understood that I absolutely couldn't reveal any flaws at this time. Otherwise, my acting would fail.
So I calmly looked at him and revealed a cynical smile. Master Ouyang slightly hesitated. He clenched his teeth and beckoned to Ou Yangjun, "Jun 'er, come here."
"Ah, dad, you're not really going to apologize, right?"
Ou Yangjun's face was pale. Because all the blood in his body had been burned, he felt an unprecedented weakness and exhaustion. It could be said that his body was hollowed out.
Seeing his father like this, it seemed that he had compromised. However, there was no other way. Even he wasn't that brat's opponent. If he insisted on saving face, then he would have to suffer.
Master Ouyang didn't respond to him. He just pursed his lips and unwillingly said, "Old friend, I'm sorry."
Then, he glanced at Ou Yangjun. The latter couldn't bear the pressure and said with an impatient expression, "Wan 'er, I'm sorry. I did something wrong before."
Although it wasn't very sincere, seeing the old and the young apologize, the commander-in-chief and Shangguan Wan 'er felt a burst of joy in their hearts. Ever since the Hongmen Banquet, the Ouyang family's attitude had somewhat changed. The father and daughter didn't think that they would actually hear an apology.
I secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but my expression didn't change. This kind of acting effect could be said to be full marks. The people in the audience were about to climax. They couldn't hide the envy and jealousy in their eyes. They couldn't wait to become me and personally punish the Ouyang family.
In the past, the Ouyang family's style of handling matters was very overbearing. Even if they did something wrong, they wouldn't admit it. To be able to force them to bow their heads was simply inconceivable. But thinking of Master Ouyang's defeat, it was also a matter of course.
Next, it was time for the grand award ceremony. Of course, because today's matter was too sensational, Director Du repeatedly reminded us not to spread the news, especially about the battle between me and the Ouyang father and son. After all, as a monstrous martial artist at my age, once the news was leaked, it was very likely that the big shots of other provinces would try their best to recruit me. If that happened, it would be a loss for Nan Yun Province.
After all, regarding this kind of matter, the higher-ups wouldn't interfere. As long as it was used by Hua Xia, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, there were many top-notch talents in the field of science and technology. In recent years, several big countries, led by America, had spared no effort in poaching people. They offered sky-high salaries, absolutely useful green cards, luxurious cars, mansions, and so on. Faced with such temptations, many people volunteered and even took pride in it. Not only would this weaken the technological strength of Hua Xia, but it would also allow them to improve themselves.
