The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 418 - Provocation

Jin Rou could clearly see this woman's intention and chuckled, "Miss Celisia, if I say I really own this world, would you believe me?"

Jin Rou was just trying to tease the other party and get on her nerves. He wasn't aware but he always do this for his own entertainment. Perhaps, he was happy when seeing people getting frustrated over some words.

Celisia looked at him with disdain and said, "You own the world? Your Majesty, though you are indeed the Celestial King, you are still lacking in many aspects. Furthermore, even if you have everything, the council is still present. It is the one who has been supporting the family since day 1."

Although it was true that the family received some help from the council in the past, it was during the time when they still didn't pursue the overlord position. But now that they do, everything eventually changed.

"Oh, so you're saying that unless the council permits me to do so, I can't?" Jin Rou smirked. He really found this entertaining.

"It's how the world works, Your Majesty." Celisia nodded and moved her glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"You bunch of fakes are now acting like my family owes you a debt. It's so funny." Jin Rou laughed softly and said with attacking words, "But what did you actually do? Aside from always being a hindrance to our family, what did we owe you for? Court Council. Hah, people think that you all are righteous and heroes of the world. But the truth? You all are just rotten to your very cores. I'll say this right in your face, we don't owe your court council anything. And in terms of authority, our family, especially me, has the highest authority here. So what can you do about it?"

"You..." Celisia didn't expect that Jin Rou would this arrogant. She was instantly incensed and slammed the table, "Are you planning on going against the council? If so, you better think it properly. The court is powerful enough to oust you in your position and none in your family can do anything about it."

"Either way, you fakes will still try to oust me and my family in order to obtain our position. What difference is that it's either now or later. So, your threats will not work on me, and either to my family." Jin Rou smiled and held his chin while looking at Celisia with disgust, "So I suggest that in order no one will get hurt, stop daydreaming and be the court council as it is. Or else, don't blame me for not giving you all fakes any face."

"Looks like you are now confident after fighting against the devils and won." Celisia couldn't remain calm as her eyes turned cold with utmost anger. She was shaking intensively that she looked like she was about to explode, "Very well. Since you want it this way, we will stop supporting the family from now on and lead a separate way from you. I can declare right now that our council are no longer associated with your family."

"I like the idea of cutting your ties off with us. But what do you mean by lead a separate way? I'm sorry, but if I choose to get you to the bottom, you can't do anything but to crawl there without hesitation." Jin Rou didn't stop attacking the woman verbally.

"Young man, you are going overboard!" Celisia was infuriated as her face turned red from anger, "Do you really think that after defeating the devils, us from the court are pushovers?!"

"Yes, you all are pushovers. Because if not, why didn't you fight against the devils to protect your homeland? If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I'll take that back at least." Jin Rou challenged Celisia.

"..." Celisia didn't know what to answer to give an enough one. After all, they didn't participate because they couldn't afford to take the risk and they were waiting for the family's doom before making a move.

Jin Rou also knew this. But even if their family lost that battle and the devils won, did they really think they could fight against those devils? They would surely ask for a beating and in the end, they would bow before them which would put the Rou family's effort in vain.

Celisia was silent for a while but her eyes were clearly leaking killing intent that if a stare could kill, Jin Rou might have been tore to millions of pieces now. After a while, she took a very deep breath and spoke once again, "Lady Yanlu, does your standpoint is also the same with him?"

The pretenses were dropped. So Yanlu Rou didn't need to act polite and spoke with cold tone, "Yes. My grandson is right. I have nothing else to say."

"Such a waste of time to get here and try to talk to your family, then." At first, Celisia came here to flaunt her authority and make the family realize that their council is asking for their liability towards the Su family's incident as the pretense, in order to push the Rou family to the dead end and impeach them. But it quite turned out that it was no longer needed as the other party attacked her verbally several times that it almost made her spurt blood.

"I will report everything you say to the ancestors. I hope you will never regret this. Everything will be given consequences accordingly." Celisia didn't want to stay here any more as she lost so much face. She was already planning how to aggravate the Rou family's words in order to make a further escalation and speed to their plans.

"Please do so." Jin Rou smiled and said, "We will wait for this 'consequences' you're talking about though you already declared you're no longer connected to us. In fact, I'm more afraid if you don't do something. We will wait for it."
