71: Chapter 71: Battle of the Famous Mouths, Hidden Contest 71: Chapter 71: Battle of the Famous Mouths, Hidden Contest So, when Song Chao’an utters this statement, it appears light and airy, but in reality, it is full of cutting edge.
Damage maxed out, slapping face as if competing with one’s own father.
Indeed, it came with quite the commanding presence.
Watching Smith’s face turn the color of liver, the well-informed Xi Zhentian and Qin Wanfeng almost couldn’t hold back their laughter.
Fortunately, they had professional training.
At the same time, both couldn’t help but secretly admire Song Chao’an.
Song Chao’an, being the Minister of State Protocol and known as ‘Federation Mouth’ and ‘Mouth’s Razorblade’,
This round of verbal spar was simply too splendid.
Effortlessly taking on Smith’s attacks while delivering even more stunning counterattacks, he even slapped Smith’s father in the face.
Even in death, he must be whipped; his father in Hell would be so furious he might come back to life!
Xiao Zhan stood by, unable to comprehend the explosive content in their dialogue.
But he knew, the less he understood, the more awesome it was.
Especially how Song Chao’an managed to reduce his opponent to a liver-colored face with just one sentence was truly formidable.
The so-called invisible swagger is the deadliest!
Xiao Zhan was somewhat dazzled by him.
Indeed, those who can serve as the face of the Federation are no ordinary individuals.
At least they are exceptional among the extraordinary!
Smith, feeling the sting where it hurt the most, especially with a pain that branded his family, suddenly felt extremely upset.
His mind quickly shifted, determined to regain his lost face.
Spotting Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong nearby, his eyes lit up as he promptly shifted the topic, “These two young apprentices of yours, they look quite dashing and beautiful.
One glance and anyone can tell they’re ‘excellent’ indeed!”
Mimicking Song Chao’an’s tone, he also emphasized the word ‘excellent’.
“Yes, they are indeed excellent.”
What surprised him was the tone of Song Chao’an’s response, which sounded as if he didn’t catch the implication of the statement.
Smith frowned slightly; he couldn’t believe Song Chao’an didn’t understand.
Song Chao’an is known for his ‘brain-gaming verbosity’ and has never lost an argument in international matters!
Thus, the only explanation was that he was pretending!
A plan formed in his mind; oh, he’s pretending?
Fine, let’s see how well he can keep that up.
Then, he turned towards a familiar figure not far off and shouted, “Hey, Nicolas, my good friend, come over for a chat.
It’s been a long time since we last met Mr.
While saying this, he even gave a knowing look.
Nicolas is from the Sunset Federation, historically a henchman of the flashy federation.
He had been stealthily listening to their conversation all along.
Being summoned now, he knew he was about to be used as a pawn.
Internally cursing, he wanted to say, ‘Yeah, it’s been a while indeed, I’ve almost forgotten what Smith’s laughter sounds like.’
But he couldn’t, for fear of consequences.
Understanding Smith’s glance, he politely and with a smile said, “Sorry Mr.
Smith, I’ve got something very important to deal with right now, so I cannot come over.”
Smith nodded internally.
The lad knew his place, deserving of commendation.
Taking a stealthy glance at Song Chao’an, observing his expression while feigning anger, he said, “Mr.
Song, this Nicolas really isn’t giving us any face, is he?”
Smith only needed to drop his pants to know what color of crap he’d pull.
He was snickering inside.
You want to use others to mock me?
That’s really just child’s play.
Sure enough, before Song Chao’an could speak, Smith shouted at someone else, “Hey, Cadena, my dear friend, Mr.
Song and I both miss you terribly.
Come over and catch up, will you?”
Cadena, from the Forest Federation, is also a loyal henchman to his own beautiful Federation.
She definitely got what Smith meant.
She chuckled, “No, I’m about to enter the Secret Realm, let’s catch up once I’m inside.”
Smith replied helplessly but smiling, “Alright, see you in there then.”
Next, he shouted towards another person, “Hey, Bibab, Mr.
But that person just smiled and politely declined.
Smith feigned surprise, “What’s going on?
These guys don’t respect us at all?”
He emphasized ‘us’ a bit more.
Then, in disbelief, he shouted again, but still no one came over.
He shouted yet again, still no one!
Smith’s face darkened a bit, but deep inside, he was already laughing his heart out.
Still, he put on a façade of indignation, “Mr.
Song, this bunch is really despicable.
It’s one thing not to respect me, but not even giving face to a minister from the Longxia Federation?
Don’t they know how formidable your Longxia Federation is?
I must strongly condemn them!”
After speaking, he eagerly awaited seeing Song Chao’an looking embarrassed.
Since ancient times, pretense and slap-downs have gone hand in hand.
Invisible pretense is the deadliest.
But likewise, an invisible slap-down is incredibly satisfying!
While speaking, he intentionally added ‘Mr.
Song’ and ‘we’ in every sentence, aiming to tie Song Chao’an to himself.
This way, while mocking, Song Chao’an would have no outlet for his irritation, achieving an optimal state of frustration.
Because he was mocking both himself and Song Chao’an, not solely Song Chao’an.
Without an outlet, Song Chao’an would just have to suck it up.
This was the most sophisticated way of mocking, tying yourself with the enemy, facing the slap-down together, though his shots were blank while the enemy’s were live bullets.
And the enemy couldn’t even retaliate.
Smith was excited by his own cleverness, certain that old chap Song Chao’an’s face must look worse than if he had eaten shit.
But when he looked over, he was shocked to find that old chap didn’t even show a hint of expression fluctuation!
Completely calm, composed, eyes slightly narrowed, not bothered in the slightest, even with a trace of mockery…
No, I’m the one mocking you! Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel✦fire.net
Why the hell are you mocking?
Is this old guy unable to hear, or does he have some mental issues?
He didn’t believe it!
He couldn’t believe that Song Chao’an couldn’t pick up on such clear sarcasm.
So why is his expression so calm?
Song Chao’an is not someone who tolerates slights, a person who would grab every advantage!
He simply couldn’t believe this was Song Chao’an’s reaction!
Yet Song Chao’an’s indifferent demeanor was truly baffling, leaving Smith itching like a cat’s scratch without any outlet for his emotions.
Suddenly, a thought struck him like lightning.
Is he like his father, needing three minutes to react nervously?
Smith held his breath in anticipation, watching Song Chao’an closely, his mind counting down from three minutes.
