Chapter 192
Jiang Chen was lucky. After registering, he was told his rival was a Gathering Yuan State in the primary election.
The 16 or 17-year-old youngster paled when he found out Jiang Chen was a Mental Wander State.
He had been eager for the fight when he entered the ring, but at that moment, he was in low spirits. There was even anger in his eyes.
“Are you from the imperial capital?” the youngster asked.
Jiang Chen was dumbstruck. He shook his head and said, “No.”
The angry expression on the youngster’s face was even more obvious when he heard Jiang Chen’s answer, and it was mixed with disdain. He said, “You countrymen are hopeless. Why did you have to come here and make a fool of yourself instead peacefully of staying at home?”
“Yeah? What kind of person do you think are, then?” Jiang Chen found it funny.
“We want you to change to a different room,” the youngster said.
Jiang Chen was surprised. He glanced at the others. They didn’t seem to have anything to add to the direct and excessive request, simply expecting his answer.
It looked like it had never occurred to them that he could refuse.
“No.”
Jiang Chen took out his key to open the door. He didn’t bother dealing with these people.
A hand touched his shoulder. It was the youngster. He was very dissatisfied, as was his tone.
“We’ve been waiting here to discuss the matter with you instead of throwing your things directly out of the room. Don’t be ungrateful!”
“Don’t you want your hand anymore?”
Jiang Chen tilted his head and showed him half of his face, squinting at him.
Eh?
The youngster was shocked. He felt like he was attacked by a shapeless energy. He not only let go of his hand, but took many steps back as well.
“It’s useless to talk with him. The more polite we are to guys like him, the more ungrateful they’ll become. Call the manager over!”
Huangfu Ming had never liked Jiang Chen. He felt revolted at the latter when he saw things didn’t go smoothly.
“You’re really acting polite, so I’ll be polite to you, too.
“Read my lips—leave!” Jiang Chen shouted and pushed those at the door back.
Except for Huangfu Ming, all of these people were in the Mental Wander State, only the preliminary stage. They were just showing off, relying on their identities.
He ignored them and went into his room.
Soon, he heard a knock at the door.
He opened the door and saw it was the manager that had received him that morning. Huangfu Ming was standing in the corridor with that youngster and others, looking disdainful.
“Sir, I’m really sorry. We forgot that this room had already been booked by other guests. Why don’t we move you downstairs?” the manager said.
Then Huangfu Ming and others showed a more disdainful expression.
“Show me,” Jiang Chen said.
“What?” The manager was dumbfounded. He didn’t know what Jiang Chen meant.
“Their booking record,” Jiang Chen said.
The manager definitely didn’t have it. This was just the excuse he had used to make Jiang Chen switch rooms.
He hesitated for a while and said, “My guest, here’s the thing. Huangfu Hua’s friend is staying next door. She is a disciple of the Isle of Sky, Chu Luo, ranked sixth on the Beauty List. It would be best if you could do me this favor.”
He said these two names, hoping Jiang Chen could be swayed by their reputations.
But Jiang Chen didn’t buy this at all. He refused all the same. “Chu Luo? What a coincidence. I know her too. She’s a good friend of mine.”
The manager was shocked, speechless.
Huangfu Ming swore, “Nonsense. Who are you? You know Miss Chu Luo? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll be doomed when my brother comes!”
