Chapter 154 - Charge!
As the two security guards had been extremely polite, Xia Fei naturally showed the appropriate respect to them. With a swipe of his spatial ring, Xia Fei secretly handed them the money that he had prepared earlier.
Bribing guards was an incredibly technical skill. First, one must know how much they should give—too little and they would not care, too much and they would think that one had ulterior motives and be on higher alert.
Second, one should take care of how they passed over the money. Two one hundred thousand star coins, bills folded into a square, sandwiched between the index and middle finger, as inconspicuous as possible.
“I am Avril’s friend from another planet and didn’t get the chance to notify the lady herself; could you guys pass this to her and let her know? Thank you,” Xia Fei said humbly, handing them the two bills with his right hand and a smile on his face.
The crew-cut guard noticed that there was something in Xia Fei’s hand. Upon closer inspection, he noticed two massive hundred thousand bills. The bills were folded incredibly well, the number was facing the top, and the huge sum could be easily noticed at a glance.
The blond-haired man also looked down at the money before the two of them exchanged glances. The blond-haired man nodded to his co-worker, to which the short-haired man replied with a smile, “Please hold on a moment, sir; I’ll let them know, but it’s not up to us if the lady is willing to meet you.”
“Thanks so much,” Xia Fei bowed slightly and said with a smile.
Phantom’s words made sense, but Xia Fei was not having any of that. Rage was comparable to water, and it was not something one could take back once they let it out.
“Great joke!” Xia Fei said coldly. “Why do I need to be all sneaky to meet my woman?”
He usually communicated with Phantom through his consciousness, but Xia Fei was completely overtaken by anger, so much so that he yelled out his response.
All the securities had rage in their eyes when they heard that.
“What did you call the young mistress?”
“Kid, you have balls of steel to act so unruly in here.”
Xia Fei did not flinch at all. With a gentle swipe on the spatial ring, he pulled out the dazzling Celestial Moon, making everyone shudder at its strange shape.
“Celestial Moon!” The cool face of the man in sunglasses wore off, and he had a serious look in his eyes. “This is your last warning. You’re forcing my hand if you don’t disappear in the next minute!”
Equipping Celestial Moon to his right arm, Xia Fei replied in a deep voice, “Less talking. If it’s a battle you want, let’s battle.”
The short and simple statement was filled with the intent to battle.
“Everyone, back off!” yelled the man in sunglasses, and the other bodyguards quickly backed far away.
The man in sunglasses took an offensive stance as he pulled out a thirteen-section, six-sided alloy windwhip and held it across his chest.
“Know your place! You’re being so unreasonable, trying to force your way in even though you’re not given permission. You brought this upon yourself!” the man in sunglasses said fiercely with fire in his eyes.
One of the security guards finally understood the weight of the situation. “Xing bro hsa actually pulled out his weapon. Could this kid really be that strong?”
“Right? It’s my first time seeing Xing bro using his weapon.”
“Should we call the cops?”
“Call the cops? When is it ever the cops’ turn to poke their heads in the matters of the Jian family?”
“We should at least let Butler Pang know.”
“True, let’s give Butler Pang a call.”
There was a lot of chatter among the security guards as though this ‘Xing bro’ was well-respected among them, and it was a big deal for him to bring out his weapon.
“Reason?” Xia Fei responded without hesitation. “I reason if I want to, and I don’t reason if I don’t want to!”
At the exact same moment, the two figures clashed. The thirteen-sectioned alloy whip and Xia Fei’s Celestial Moon bounced apart after briefly making contact. A piercing hum from metal pierced the air as it spread far and wide.
Nobody gained an inch from that clash.
“Again!” Xia Fei yelled as his eyes filled with anger.
At the same moment, Celestial Moon changed forms, from its original six-disc blades form to twelve-disc blades, doubling its length.
The man in the sunglasses lashed out his whip at Xia Fei’s lower body.
Blasts of wind whipped about.
With a gentle tap onto the ground using his toes, Xia Fei flew in the air and slashed downward using Celestial Moon.
Crafty Thrust specialized in assassinations, but Xia Fei did not attack as he usually would this time. Instead, he was using huge sweeping attacks; evidently, the rage in his heart had yet to subside.
With the Celestial Moon in front of his eyes, the man in sunglasses blew air out his mouth gently.
A gust of wind suddenly shot out like a sharp sword.
All Xia Fei felt was a blast of wind toward his face as he twisted his body in unbelievable ways to the left to dodge the attack. An undetectable gust of wind flew past Xia Fei, ripping a hole into his top.
“This guy has the pneumatic meteor ability. In short, he can shoot wind out at incredible speeds with his mouth, making him great at both ranged and close combat. Be careful!” Phantom said hastily. Seeing that Xia Fei was overtaken by rage, he might as well focus on helping him analyze the flow of the battle.
The security guards were cheering them on.
“Xing bro, teach that rascal, who doesn’t know his place, a lesson!”
“You’re about to die, chap!”
Xia Fei didn’t pay any attention to their taunts. With both feet planted solidly on the ground, Xia Fei pressed the button on Celestial Moon, and all eighteen-disc blades were now in full display.
Celestial’s most violent form, Mountain and Sea Breaker.
“You’re not using that are you?”
Xia Fei smirked. “Am I not allowed to?”
