Hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Chen Wang and Lei Ting’s pupils shrank suddenly, their faces filled with disbelief.
They couldn’t understand how someone they considered an ant could see through this point.
"Nonsense!"
After a moment of shock, Chen Wang roared, "Spout another word of nonsense, and I’ll kill you right here and now!"
In the depths of Lei Ting’s eyes, a strong intent to kill flickered.
Just as Qin Chuan had said, the reason they could defeat an Energizing Skill Grandmaster beyond their own realm was because they had relied on drugs.
To deter everyone present, they used the drugs hidden inside the thumb rings.
"So that’s how it is!"
Ye Qingwan suddenly came to a realization, saying coldly, "I was wondering how you could defeat our Black Dragon Commerce Association’s Energizing Skill Grandmaster with just Dark Energy. It turns out you relied on drugs."
"If Mr. Qin hadn’t spoken the truth, everyone else would think our Black Dragon Commerce Association’s Energizing Skill Grandmasters were truly worthy of their reputation, right?"
Granny Wu and Golden Saber Grandmaster He Jinzhou had also begun to doubt whether their own strength was the issue, but now they realized that their opponents had taken drugs.
"Did they really use drugs to defeat the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s Energizing Skill Grandmasters?"
"The gap between Dark Energy and Energizing Skill is like heaven and earth. With the strength of Dark Energy alone, defeating an Energizing Skill Grandmaster is simply impossible, at least I’ve never heard of it."
"Besides, the battle record of Golden Saber Grandmaster He Jinzhou is there for all to see. Being the number one powerhouse of the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association, how could he possibly be defeated by a Dark Energy Late Stage Realm martial artist?"
...
Many people were discussing in low voices; they were all influential figures in the provincial city, not fools.
Especially the martial artists around many of the big shots, they had no doubt about the fact that Lei Ting and Chen Wang had taken drugs.
The expressions on Lei Ting and Chen Wang’s faces were extremely ugly. If Qin Chuan alone had revealed the truth, it would have been one thing, but now so many people were discussing it, the problem was magnified.
Fear had appeared in the depths of Chen Wang’s eyes, and it wasn’t because he was afraid that the other powerhouses from the Black Dragon Commerce Association would take action against him, but rather because he feared the news of their rule-breaking drug use would leak out.
The drug they used was a Genetic Elixir developed by the Sovereign Master Army in conjunction with many top scientists, something that only the top warriors of the Sovereign Master Army were qualified to possess.
However, according to the rules of the Sovereign Master Army, such Genetic Elixir could only be used at the brink of life and death.
The Genetic Elixir was the highest secret of the Sovereign Master Army, and they would face severe punishment if the news leaked out.
This was exactly why they were so panic-stricken when Qin Chuan mentioned they had used drugs to enhance their strength.
"Let’s go!"
Qin Chuan had no intention to take action but instead took Xiao Mengyi’s hand and strode forward, leaving the place.
Ye Qingwan swept a cold glance at Chen Wang and Lei Ting, then with a big wave of her hand, said, "Let’s go!"
Qin Chuan chose not to take action because he did not want to involve Ye Qingwan.
He could tell that Lei Ting and Chen Wang’s strength had surged due to the drugs, and naturally, he understood that the forces behind these two men were not simple.
A force capable of nurturing young Dark Energy martial artists like Chen Wang and Lei Ting was certainly not something the Black Dragon Commerce Association could handle.
His only purpose today was to take Xiao Mengyi away.
"Stop right there!"
Just as Qin Chuan and the others were about to leave the banquet hall, a sharp roar echoed throughout the hall.
"Chen Wang, kill him!"
Ouyang Ying said with a fierce face, "He stole your brother’s fiancée and ruined your brother’s face. If you let him leave alive, where will the Chen Family’s face be?"
Chen Kun was also stammering something, but his face was swollen like a pig’s head after being slapped by Qin Chuan, although it was certain that his killing intent towards Qin Chuan had reached its peak.
Chen Baiqiang also shouted, "Chen Wang, kill him!"
Today’s engagement banquet was supposed to be a display of the Chen Family’s wealth and power, but it had been destroyed by Qin Chuan.
As long as Qin Chuan isn’t dead, the shame of the Chen Family will continue to accompany them.
"Kill him!"
"Young Master Chen, kill him!"
...
The people of the Chen Family roared angrily one after another.
The guests who had originally sided with the Chen Family unanimously chose to keep silent at this moment.
They weren’t afraid of offending Qin Chuan, but they were afraid of offending the Black Dragon Commerce Association behind him.
They had thought that Lei Ting and Chen Wang would be able to kill the two Energizing Skill Strong from the Black Dragon Commerce Association, but they hadn’t expected that it was simply impossible for them.
Qin Chuan’s footsteps stopped in place, and a strong murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
Ye Qingwan also led the martial artists of the Black Dragon Commerce Association to stop at the entrance of the banquet hall, coldly looking at Chen Baiqiang and saying, "Chen Baiqiang, do you really want to go to war with my Black Dragon Commerce Association?"
"Go to war?"
Chen Baiqiang sneered and then asked, "Ye Qingwan, do you know what identity my son now holds?"
With a cold expression, Ye Qingwan said, "Even if your son were the king of heaven, if the Chen Family dares to touch Mr. Qin, then the Black Dragon Commerce Association dares to declare war on the Chen Family!"
Everyone present was extremely surprised. Ye Qingwan, for a young man, had actually gone to such lengths?
Qin Chuan was somewhat touched in his heart. Ye Qingwan knew the identity of Chen Wang wasn’t simple, but she still chose to stand by his side.
Xiao Mengyi looked at Ye Qingwan’s back with complex emotions.
As a woman, she knew what it meant for Ye Qingwan to protect Qin Chuan like this.
This scoundrel really has a way with women.
"Good! Very good!"
Chen Baiqiang’s expression on his face became extremely ferocious, and then he looked at Chen Wang and said, "Son, tell her what your identity is?"
Chen Wang’s expression turned somewhat ugly. Today, upon his return, he was originally supposed to announce his identity to the major forces of the province.
But, after Qin Chuan pointed out that he and Lei Ting forcibly improved their strength through drugs, he had some hesitation.
Once he revealed his identity, the impact of the drug-related matter would only grow larger, and the consequences would be even more severe.
Yet, if he remained silent, the Black Dragon Commerce Association would really go to war with the Chen Family for Qin Chuan. Given that the Chen Family had just entered the ranks of the top households in the East Sea, they couldn’t possibly be a match for the Black Dragon Commerce Association.
Chen Baiqiang urged, "Son, quickly reveal your identity!"
He was very certain that once Chen Wang’s identity was exposed, the Chen Family’s status in the East Sea would soar.
"Young Master Chen, quickly reveal your identity!"
"Yes, tell them your identity. Let them know how serious the consequences of offending the Chen Family are!"
...
Many from the Chen Family were not aware of Chen Wang’s identity, but at this moment, they were filled with anticipation.
Chen Wang took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across the entire venue and finally landing on Qin Chuan as he yelled, "I am the sixth disciple of the Sovereign Master! With just a branch of the Black Dragon Commerce Association in the East Sea, you dare to wage war against my Chen Family?"
Boom!
His words, like a boulder thrown into the sea, stirred up a maelstorm!
Everyone’s eyes widened, staring at Chen Wang in utter disbelief.
The Sovereign Master, the strongest person in Shen Zhou!
The army he led, the Sovereign Master Army, was invincible, creating numerous miracles and establishing great merits for Shen Zhou!
And Chen Wang was actually a disciple of the Sovereign Master!
