Chapter 509 - Beating Those Bigwigs’ Brains In
Jiang Chen’s sudden question made the people present dumbstruck.
The youngster, who hadn’t stopped scorning, looked surprised by the unexpected response, as well. Then he beamed.
“Yeah, that’s right. I’m from the Direct Battalion,” the youngster said.
“So, can you shut up?” Jiang Chen said seriously.
The air was immediately charged with tension. Not only the new young generals, but also the commanders of the eight battalions and even the muscular general, were surprised.
“Say that again.” said the youngster in a threatening tone, coming up to him.
“You heard me perfectly.” Jiang Chen was fearless, his look sharp.
The same as the woman, Xie Yan laid on his stomach after screaming.
The new guys had no idea how noble the two were. They just felt like cheering at seeing Jiang Chen beating them.
But those from the eight battalions had complicated expressions. Their looks were extremely odd.
Xie Yan was the son of the Baron of the Ning State. The woman was called Liu Yu, and her father was a general, her mother a princess.
The two were from such prominent families, but Jiang Chen had beaten them so overwhelmingly. If the royal government heard about it, it would create a huge disturbance.
Jiang Chen’s savageness intimidated the other disciples from aristocratic families. Without the nerve to keep speaking loudly, they could do nothing but watch Jiang Chen’s plank falling on Xie Yan and Liu Yu while the two screamed tragically.
That general hadn’t said a word during the whole process, but he had an unnoticeable smile on his face.
The Direct Battalion to which these people belonged wasn’t under his jurisdiction. He was a general, but only a general of first rank of the secondary class.
A general with a higher rank wouldn’t have come over for such a trifle, so he was wondering what the senior general would think when he heard the news.
Jiang Chen was pretty fair. He gave ten strokes to both of them, no more and no less, but the two couldn’t even get to their feet again.
“How dare you scorn others? I feel pity for you, although you’re from aristocratic families,” Jiang Chen sneered at them. Then he threw the plank on the ground and walked towards the Red Flame Battalion.
“Let’s wait and see!”
Their companions helped them up. They looked at Jiang Chen in anger, wishing they could bite him.
However, as soon as Jiang Chen looked back, they were given such a good scare that they hurried to signal for those beside them to lift them away.
“All right. That’s it.”
After confirming that all of the eight battalions had picked their men, the general left, eager to report what had happened there.
By then, Jiang Chen found he was the only one who had chosen to join the Red Flame Battalion.
“Commander, if you don’t try to put yourself out there, no one will join,” Jiang Chen proposed.
“There could have been two or three more, but I guess no one wanted to join us after this farce,” said the commander of the Red Flame Battalion.
Jiang Chen was stunned. He didn’t understand what she had meant.
“Commander, I got your permission, didn’t I?” Jiang Chen asked.
The commander of the Red Flame Battalion gave him a look. Rolling her pretty almond eyes, she asked him, “Did you?”
