"Damn it, are you trying to die!"
In Miao Tao's eyes, Du Fei's act of sneering at him after such a shocking display was a naked provocation.
This Du Fei was simply asking for trouble. Miao Tao gritted his teeth and decided to teach him a lesson.
Even though he might face some punishment or reprimand afterward, his anger had consumed him, and Miao Tao could no longer care about the consequences.
Miao Tao slowly raised his hand.
"Stop!"
Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind.
Miao Tao turned his head and saw Fu Xiaohao, who was supposed to be in the restaurant, walking out.
"Ah Miao, what are you doing?"
Fu Xiaohao was waiting in the restaurant for his date. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang from the entrance and, fearing something had happened, he immediately got up to check.
Seeing the granite fragments scattered at Miao Tao's feet, Fu Xiaohao frowned slightly.
"Brother Hao, don't get involved in this today. This guy has been provoking me repeatedly. Today, I must teach him a lesson!!"
Looking at Fu Xiaohao behind him, Miao Tao's anger had not subsided.
At this moment, all he wanted to do was beat Du Fei to a pulp, to show him what he truly was.
"Nonsense, as a member of the Dragon... you must never use force outside. You are..."
Hearing Miao Tao's words, Fu Xiaohao immediately rebuked him.
As members of the Dragon Group, their every action represented the Dragon Group.
Moreover, with their skills, the consequences of attacking ordinary people would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Fu Xiaohao's first reaction was to stop Miao Tao's misguided actions.
However, when his gaze inadvertently swept over the person opposite Miao Tao, Fu Xiaohao was instantly struck as if by an electric shock and froze.
"Brother Hao, you know this guy?"
Seeing Fu Xiaohao's stunned expression, Miao Tao was somewhat surprised.
Fu Xiaohao was the youngest captain in the history of the Dragon Group, and his grandfather was a former five-star general, now the chief instructor of both the Dragon Group and the Azure Dragon.
And Du Fei was merely a small boss from Rongcheng. How did they know each other?
Du Fei had seen Fu Xiaohao coming out of the restaurant earlier, but he hadn't recognized him at first. It wasn't until Fu Xiaohao said "you" that Du Fei vaguely recalled meeting Fu Xiaohao and his grandfather not long ago.
"Ah Miao, apologize immediately!"
Recognizing Du Fei, Fu Xiaohao immediately thought of the terrifying identity of the other party and the judgment his grandfather had made after Du Fei left.
Miao Tao was actually trying to provoke a Supreme Being, which scared Fu Xiaohao and made him quickly tell him to apologize.
Hearing the urgency in Fu Xiaohao's tone, Miao Tao became even more curious about Du Fei's background.
"It seems you are the one whom Miao Tao meticulously arranged opportunities to pursue my girlfriend."
Du Fei observed Fu Xiaohao and quickly guessed his identity and why he was here today.
"Yes, I... I'm sorry. I didn't know she was your girlfriend. I'm very sorry."
Facing a Supreme Being, Fu Xiaohao put away all his arrogance and apologized with the utmost sincerity.
Brother Hao, who was always proud and looked down on everyone, actually apologized to Du Fei?
What was going on?
In an instant, Miao Tao almost thought he was hallucinating.
"Brother Hao, why are you apologizing to him..."
"Noisy."
Du Fei frowned slightly and let out a disdainful snort.
The next second, Miao Tao felt an earth-shattering pressure descend upon him. His legs could no longer support him, and he instantly collapsed to his knees with a thud.
As for Fu Xiaohao, although he could still stand, he trembled uncontrollably under the immense pressure, unable to even open his mouth.
As expected, his grandfather was right. The Du Fei before him was definitely a Supreme Being.
Even his grandfather did not exude such a powerful aura. He could not even speak when faced with mere pressure.
"I didn't bother with you before, for the sake of Shi Shi and your girlfriend. But you've repeatedly spoken rudely," Du Fei paused here, "Immortal cannot be defied!!"
The last few words were spoken with great emphasis, like a great bell striking, echoing into Miao Tao's mind.
Miao Tao's eyes suddenly became vacant and listless, his mouth opening involuntarily.
"Supreme Being, have mercy."
Seeing Miao Tao's state, Fu Xiaohao subconsciously pleaded.
A Supreme Being's words already carried the power of the law.
As soon as Du Fei uttered "Immortal cannot be defied," Fu Xiaohao felt the air around him stagnate.
Turning to look at Miao Tao, it was clear that Du Fei had imprinted his words in his mind.
Although Du Fei didn't kill Miao Tao, implanting a mark in his mind meant that Miao Tao's martial arts cultivation would never progress again, and might even slowly regress.
For a man who was climbing towards his peak, this was no different from death.
The only way to help Miao Tao would be to find a martial arts expert even more powerful than Du Fei to remove the imprint Du Fei had left in his mind.
But this was an impossible task.
Firstly, it was difficult to find a master more powerful than his grandfather. Even if they were fortunate enough to find one, what could Miao Tao or Fu Xiaohao's Fu family offer to persuade them to risk offending another Supreme Being to help Miao Tao?
Du Fei said nothing, merely glanced at Fu Xiaohao.
With just that glance, Fu Xiaohao felt a fear that plunged him into an ice cellar, his body trembling.
The might of a Supreme Being was indeed terrifying.
Fu Xiaohao immediately lowered his head, losing the courage to even meet Du Fei's gaze.
He dared not even think about pleading anymore.
"Du Fei, why are you standing at the door... Miao Tao, what's wrong with you?"
Just as Fu Xiaohao was feeling uneasy, a clear voice reached his ears.
Liu Shishi had just gotten out of the car when she received a call, so she had asked Du Fei to go to the restaurant first.
Now, after finishing her call, Liu Shishi arrived at the restaurant and saw Du Fei standing at the entrance, with Li Yutong's boyfriend, Miao Tao, kneeling before him. She was greatly surprised and curious about what had happened.
"It's nothing, Miao Tao is just feeling a bit unwell."
Seeing that Du Fei wasn't speaking, Fu Xiaohao quickly stepped forward to help Miao Tao up and gave a perfunctory excuse.
Liu Shishi then noticed Fu Xiaohao was also there.
With her sharp wit, she immediately realized that Li Yutong's invitation for her to dine today was likely another attempt to arrange an opportunity for Fu Xiaohao to pursue her.
Thinking of this, Liu Shishi's gaze towards Miao Tao became displeased.
Again and again, it was truly tiresome.
Since Fu Xiaohao was here, Liu Shishi decided to make things clear and settle it once and for all.
