For split moments, Kelly could not decide if he should be angry or laughing. He was left amused by the words that he just heard.
Someone was ordering President Hart to come forward and kneel before he. He walked forward towards him ready to launch at him like a bulldog.
"You give orders to someone way bigger than you? Keep saying it until it appears in your dream!" He glared.
If father was one of the wealthiest men in the city but when his father went to see Mr. Hart, the man didn't even spare his father a single glance.
He looked at Clinton with even more disdain that was laced all over his face. He wanted to crush me already and send him back to the world that he came out from.
But there was no need to do that. The young man was going to be his bait to get the little stunning lady in his hands tonight and after that, he was going to dispose of the fool that had dared to speak to him in such a manner.
"And if you think that I am going to fall for that stunt that you just pulled. You must be a talented clown."
With his hands tapping with impatience, he beckoned on his guards to cripple Clinton already.
Their feet paced towards him with smirks on their faces already. Seeing that she had been free, Lisa quickly stepped forward.
"Please forgive him. He never meant anything of what he just said. He is someone very close to us. I don't even think that he is thinking straight at this instant." She pleaded with tears already dripping down from her eyes at the moment.
As he felt her warm body, Clinton could already feel himself rumbling with pain. He had vowed that he was going to protect these people but it turned out that he had failed.
His heart was torn into shreds. "I 'm going to make sure that you pay dearly so that the people that I love suffer so much." He vowed in whispers, the howling breeze straining away his words.
"I will do what you have said." She was still shivering.
"Oh! So you are going to agree to my terms now after going through all of these?" He glared.
The anger that was raging through every single part of Clinton's body knew no bounds at the moment.
"Don't say that Lisa." But she had already made up and would not listen. She would rather go against her will than allow anyone to suffer because of her.
"You fool. Do you know who he is? He is the owner of this place. He can find wherever you go. Do you think that I am going to allow you to get into danger because of us?" She glared at Clinton with a look of empathy.
She knew that it was not his fault and she felt sad after she had said those hard words but that was the least that she could do to help him.
Clinton let out a low sigh as he looked at Kelly once again. Why should someone that wasn't even worthy to lick the dust off from his shoes be able to destroy his life..
"That's a good girl. Come to Daddy." Kelly smiled as Lisa walked off towards him.
Clinton could not stand it anymore. He brushed off from where was standing. Soon he was right before Kelly and a slap shot right from him to his face.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden outburst and they thought that this person had certainly gone out of his mind.
The five fingers that were laced on Kelly's face at the moment were bloody as Lisa stared at it. She could not help it but shivered.
"What has Clinton done?" She yelled.
How could he do such a thing because of them? Does he want to die? Tears flooded down from her eyes no matter how hard she tried to restrain them and she sniffed.
"You are very stupid Clinton to think that you would want to help us to your own detriment. Sometimes. I wonder what your brain is made of."
"Rocks." Clinton replied with a now calm smile.
He felt so happy after he did what he had just done.
"Another word of that and I am going to make sure that a slap isn't what he was going to receive." He added more salt to Kelly's wound.
If there was anything that he hated most in all his life it was anyone giving him a slap across the face.
It made him so weak before this set of people and it was more than enough to get him very angry.
"Don't cripple him anymore. I want you to kill him." He glared at his guards with raging anger.
After what they had witnessed, they were more than glad to do what they had already been told to wait for the rising fury in their faces.
As they were able to slap him straight across the face, a loud noise was heard that made them put a halt to what they were doing at the moment.
Some of them already brought out weapons from their pockets. Lisa folded herself in one direction while she cried and as for the crowd, they saw Clinton as someone that was as good as dead already.
"I am sure that he is someone that had a bright future." An old lady that was also a single mother cried out of pity for him.
"Stop." The words raced through the ears of everyone present.
It seemed to have a strange effect that made you want to obey the words that this person was saying.
Their faces all turned around in that direction and most of the people that knew who this middle-aged man was had their jaws far apart with shock.
"It can't be. Mr. Hart! But what would he be doing in such a filthy area when there are a whole lot of large areas that he could always inspect?" Kelly thought aloud to himself.
He didn't even think for once that someone had already told him that he was going to call Mr. Hart over.
There was certainly no one that he could even think about the fact that Clinton who was looking more like a homeless dog could pull so many strings on Mr. Harts.
They all bowed in an instant. Even though he had not gotten over to where they were standing.
Everyone did the same even though one of them didn't know who this person was. His aura was powerful and with just a word of his mouth, they were sure that if he wanted them dead, they would certainly be. Coupled with the fact that someone as powerful as Mr. Swindon was already bowing at him at the moment.
He wore a deadly frown on his face.
"Slap!" A loud slap was heard all over the place. Even though Kelly's face was aching at the moment, he didn't dare to look this man in the eyes.
'What.. what did I do?' Was the only thoughts that clouded his mind.
"You fool! What have you done? How could you get me into this much trouble after everything that I have done for you and your family?" He fired.
"I'm very sorry Mr. Hart. Please forgive me." Kelly said, still bowing.
Even though he didn't understand what exactly was going on, he still didn't dare to argue but went ahead to argue nor even look into his eyes.
Mr. Hart looked over to where Clinton was standing and his old Demeanor was replaced with fear as he shivered even more than the dying boy who was lying on the floor at the moment.
Their eyes interlocked. He could see that Clinton was highly displeased, unlike everything that he had heard about the Young master.
If Ping was to hear about anything that had happened here. Death would be the best escape room for him out of the world.
Not knowing how he was going to get through this at the moment, his feet crashed to the floor with tears pleading down his wrinkled face.
Everyone was stunned for quite a while. It seemed like it was more like a dream but it was not. At that moment, Mr. Hart was kneeling before someone.
They could not all resist the urge to know who this powerful person that he was bowing his head before was going to be. They raised their heads and the sight that lay before Kelly made his heart freeze almost in an instant.
"The all-powerful Mr. Hart was kneeling before someone like Clinton?”

Chapter 203
e court was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. The ministers looked at Xiao Ming, each with their own thoughts.After a while, Emperor Xiao Wenxuan looked at Xiao Ming and asked, “Prince Qi, is this cannon matter true?”Xiao Ming replied, “Father Emperor, the cannon is real. However, I simply changed the name of the fire tube. The cannon looks similar to the fire tube, but its range has been increased.”“I see.”Xiao Wenxuan nodded. Xiao Ming did not hide the matter of the cannon, which made him feel reassured.At this point, Cui Hao said, “Since that’s the case, Your Highness should hand over the cannon technology. Whether it’s a fire tube or a cannon, as long as it can defeat the barbarians, Your Highness should contribute it for the sake of the Great Yu Empire.”With just a few words, the topic in court shifted from rewarding achievements to demanding the cannon technology. This shift in focus was exactly what Cui Hao and his faction intended.They were

“Hahaha…”Loud laughter echoed in the Chengqing Hall. The King of Wei was all smiles; today, Xiao Ming unexpectedly gave him some face.He pulled Xiao Ming aside and said, “Dear nephew, this great victory in Cangzhou—you are the main hero. But your royal uncle provided a lot of money, food, and supplies, so I deserve some credit too. On the court later, you should go easy on me.”“Third Royal Uncle, this time our father ordered us both to defend Qingzhou. So this credit should belong to both of us. I won’t fight over the merit, but later you must fully support me in return.”“Oh? Go ahead, tell me what you want,” the King of Wei was delighted—if Xiao Ming needed his help, things would be much easier.Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously. “With your wisdom, Uncle, you’ll understand soon enough.”As they were speaking, Feng Deshui suddenly walked into the hall and loudly announced: “His Majesty has arrived!”All the ministers quickly returned to their places and stood straight. Xiao Ming and t

Golden sunlight blanketed the palace buildings, and the early morning palace seemed to radiate a strong aura of auspiciousness.Luo Quan’s words made Xiao Ming nod slightly. He wasn’t agreeing to give the cannons to the imperial guards, but he did agree with Luo Quan’s distrust of the vassal lords.This was exactly what a loyal general should say and a reason that made Luo Quan worth winning over.“This cannon production technology—I will give it to no one,” Xiao Ming answered Luo Quan with a firm tone.“Your Highness… this…” Luo Quan looked confused, even slightly angry. It was understandable if Xiao Ming didn’t want to give it to other vassal lords, but to refuse even the imperial guards, who were directly under the emperor—this he couldn’t understand.Lu Fei, standing behind, let out a big sigh of relief. He had truly been worried Xiao Ming might agree too easily. Luo Xin seemed deep in thought.Luo Quan’s reaction was just as Xiao Ming had expected. Once he said this in court, the

A round red sun had just risen over the horizon when the sound of bells suddenly rang out in Chang’an City.After three rounds of bell chimes, the gatekeepers in the city gradually opened the gates of each residential ward. People began appearing on the morning streets, and thin wisps of cooking smoke slowly floated into the sky.Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Ming had stayed at the Jade Water Pavilion until the palace gates were about to close, and only then did Consort Zhen reluctantly let him leave.In Chang’an City, Feng Deshui had already prepared a temporary, elegant courtyard for Xiao Ming to stay in.After seven days of tiring travel, he was already very exhausted. After returning last night, he slept straight through until now.“Your Highness, it’s time for breakfast. In a little while, you’ll probably be summoned to court.”After washing up, Lü Luo brought in breakfast. It was made by the cooks who had come with him from the prince’s residence.Because of his current status and t

In the Jade Water Pavilion, Liu li had been waiting at the door.Since the morning, Consort Zhen had asked several times, afraid of missing Prince Qi.But it was understandable. Prince Qi had been gone for three years. For a mother, nothing was more painful than that. After all, Prince Qi was now Consort Zhen’s only hope.Leaning by the door, Liu li was bored and counting flower petals. When she heard footsteps, she instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.She saw a young eunuch leading a handsome young man toward the Jade Water Pavilion.In the inner palace where the concubines lived, the only man who could freely come and go was the former emperor, other than that, only the princes could enter.Looking at this young man, Liu li was immediately surprised and happy. Although Xiao Ming’s appearance had changed a lot in the past three years, his general look was still the same. She immediately ran back excitedly, shouting, “My lady, my lady, His Highness is back! His Highness

Autumn had arrived. The elm trees on both sides of Vermilion Bird Avenue shed their leaves as the breeze gently passed.Triggered by the splendor of Chang’an, Lu Fei said with envy, “When will Qingzhou ever be as prosperous as this place?”“That’s tough. Chang’an has been the capital of seven dynasties. Its prosperity is inherited,” Luo Xin replied proudly.“Nonsense! Prosperity isn’t like having children—it can’t just be passed down. Hmph, as long as His Highness is in Qingzhou, it won’t take many years before we surpass Chang’an,” Lu Fei retorted.Luo Xin curled his lip, clearly unconvinced.Xiao Ming smiled. Actually, Luo Xin had a point. The prosperity of Chang’an came from the concentration of all the nobility and powerful people of Great Yu.In modern economic terms, it was high consumption driving Chang’an’s economy and prosperity.Right now, his strategy in Qingzhou—to attract merchants—served the same purpose.While the group was traveling halfway along the route, the sudden
