Chapter 148: The Dreadful Mo Jian
The grand hall was eerily quiet, everyone holding their breath in disbelief. The contempt in Mo Jian’s voice cut deep into their very being.
What are you?
Dong Ming stood frozen, his jaw wide agape. His body trembled subconsciously. The contempt, the disgust in Mo Jian’s voice made him seem like he was nothing but mere dirt.
His pride shattered, he even questioned his sense of being.
Suddenly, the Dong clan master’s voice cut through the ominous stillness. "What do you mean?" His voice was loud, laced with burning fury.
He got on his feet and glared at Mo Jian. Today was his birthday, a joyous event, but who would have expected this bastard to turn it into something worse?
How dare he question what they are?
Is he calling them nothing?
Just thinking of it, his anger surged. He clenched his fist, glaring daggers at Mo Jian. "I don’t know where your pride and arrogance come from. But don’t you ever dare question what we are!"
Questioning their existence.
How dare?!
Even those in the Central Region would not do something as atrocious as that.
"Apologize now or—"
Before the Dong Patriarch could complete his statement, Mo Jian interrupted him.
"Or what?" His voice was still as casual as ever, but the contempt did not lessen—it increased.
Gasp!
Various gasps echoed in the grand hall. No one expected Mo Jian would look down on the Dong Patriarch as well.
"This is crazy!"
"Indeed! Where did he get the confidence to look down on them?"
"Is he not afraid to be killed on the spot?"
"Ah! That would have been better. He’s just too hateful."
"Yes. We must not allow such an evil person to exist in the capital."
"Yes, they should teach him a lesson."
The chatter in the grand hall increased, coming from the back, their voices filled with indignation and hatred.
Since Mo Jian could look down on a powerful clan like the Dong clan, then what about the weaker clans and ordinary people?
To him, they wouldn’t be worse than slaves.
Just thinking of this increased the fury and hatred they had toward him and the Thousand Wealth Chamber.
"So are you saying the Dong clan are nothing?" The Gao Matriarch’s voice broke through the rising chatters. "To you then, everyone here is nothing."
Her voice was seething with rage. They were the ones that looked down on others, not the other way around.
The Ma clan master also roared in fury. "The top five clans and the various leaders are mere nothing to you. Is that it?"
"This includes the Governor, right?"
"Chief Maid, do you hear that? In his presence, you’re nothing. Something worse than dirt." The Ma clan master looked at the Chief Maid in outrage.
Striking while the iron was still hot, an Elder from the Jade River Exchange added:
"We’ve said it repeatedly, the Thousand Wealth Chamber are nothing but an evil force. Now, all of you see it. Their leader regards us as nothing, not even human."
"How could we allow such a group that does not regard us as human to exist in our midst?"
The more the various leaders spoke, the more infuriated the crowd got. Many gripped their knives and couldn’t wait to attack Mo Jian.
Such contempt was something they could never swallow. The loathing was the highest they had seen.
On the high table, the Wuyu City Lord and the Governor Mansion Chief Maid wore unsightly expressions on their faces.
They turned and looked at Mo Jian. Although they understood the plots of these people,
They did not care. Today, if Mo Jian did not give them a reasonable explanation,
He could forget about leaving this hall in one piece.
"Are you done?" he asked.
Calm and casual, his voice was filled with authority.
All the verbal attacks as if they were not meant for him.
Everyone was stunned at his question, but they recovered quickly and pointed their fingers at him.
His eyes wandered around the grand hall for a moment before he asked:
"Is there anyone who wants to join them? Speak up now so that I can know my enemies all at once."
His statement was casual but with deeper meaning.
For a moment, the rising chatter in the grand hall shrank.
For them to be invited to such an important gathering, it meant every one of them had some sense and wealth.
Thus, they were not fools.
Although it seemed they were having the upper hand, that was just on the surface.
If Mo Jian was as easy as they portrayed him, those powerful forces wouldn’t have waited until this moment before they killed him.
Yet, he was hale and hearty.
This alone spoke volumes.
In this world, strength was supreme. With enough strength, you can do and undo in this world.
Who cares what others think about you as long as your fist is bigger? You have the final say.
Just as the chatters shrank and everyone considered the gravity of Mo Jian’s words,
The Jade River Exchange spoke. "Don’t think you intimidate us with the force behind you."
His voice cut through the hall like a hot knife.
"You’ve revealed yourself to be from evil forces and we won’t stop until we eradicate you."
With the Jade River Exchange taking the lead, many forces regained their courage and increased their shouts, accusing Mo Jian.
However, among the forces, three main forces did not speak.
The Golden Pavilion master watched everything with a fascinated gaze.
The Seven Talisman Trade Hall was quiet, likewise the Broken Moon Consortium.
They were all waiting to see how Mo Jian and the Thousand Wealth Chamber would handle this mess.
Apart from these forces, the Cai clan was also quiet, watching everything unfold.
Standing a couple of feet from Mo Jian’s seat, Dong Ming’s hatred for Mo Jian was the highest. Now that the people had pointed fingers at him, he was glad.
"Spoiled brat. Let’s see how you leave this place alive."
Hearing the comment, Mo Jian turned his gaze to him. And said,
"You should not worry about me but about your clan. Instead of smiling as if you just won the greatest battle in your life,"
"You need to think: Will I live to see tomorrow?" He averted his gaze and looked at the crowd.
"This is the question for everyone."
"My Chamber has been attacked repeatedly but has never suffered any defeat. Do you know why?"
"We’re strong. So strong that our enemies did not know what they were up against."
"Yet, a rascal and some runt from godforsaken clans dare talk back to me?"
"Do you know why the Thousand Wealth Chamber has existed till now?" His voice was not loud, but it was filled with dread that silenced the hall.
"Because when our enemies knew what they were up against, they would not know peace. Sleep, joy, and happiness would be luxuries they couldn’t afford."
"They would pray, hoping that this misfortune would escape them. But the gods would forsake them."
