PFC Chapter 274 The Genius Kneels
Chapter 274 The Genius Kneels
As Xiao Chen emerged from the Creative Company, a black luxury car was already waiting beside him.
Ever since the people from Zhaixinglou came to pay their respects last time, they have always been surrounded by people eager to serve them. And now, sitting in the driver's seat, if Xiao Chen remembers correctly, is none other than the Governor of Jiangbei.
The fact that the Governor-General of Jiangbei personally acted as Xiao Chen's driver would shock anyone who saw it.
Upon seeing Xiao Chen appear, the Governor of Jiangbei hurriedly got out of the car, bowed and scraped as he opened the back door for Xiao Chen, and then quickly jogged back to the driver's seat.
"Didn't I tell you, people of your stature, to leave me alone?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure.
"It is my greatest honor to meet you, Your Excellency, and how could I dare to be negligent? I would be more than happy to serve you!" the Governor-General of Jiangbei said with a fawning expression.
"Drive," Xiao Chen said calmly and briefly.
The Governor-General of Jiangbei started the car in response and was just about to drive away...
"boom!"
A hand suddenly grabbed the rear window of the car where Xiao Chen was. The hand was missing a finger, its mutilation quite noticeable. Then, a face leaned out.
“It’s you…” Xiao Chen’s gaze swept over, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.
The person who arrived was Tong Qianjun, the guy who called himself the number one genius in the South District.
He was once a fervent pursuer of Ouyang Muxue. After learning that Ouyang Muxue was in love with Xiao Chen, he was consumed by jealousy and came to challenge him, only to have one of his fingers cut off by Xiao Chen.
"What? Still not convinced?" Xiao Chen's expression was indifferent, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Tong Qianjun's face was ashen. After hesitating for a moment, he managed to utter, "I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"Oh?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. After all, Tong Qianjun had always regarded him as a rival in love, so it was quite strange that he would take the initiative to ask him for help.
"Quite interesting." Xiao Chen's lips curled into a playful smile.
"Please help me!" Tong Qianjun was clearly not good at asking for favors, his voice unconsciously rose, and his tone sounded somewhat stiff.
"With your attitude of begging, who would be willing to help you?" Xiao Chen's face darkened, and he said coldly.
Tong Qianjun's face turned pale and then red, as if he had made a great decision. Suddenly, with a "thump," he knelt down on one knee by the car window in front of Xiao Chen.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow again. Someone like Tong Qianjun, who had a smooth and successful career in martial arts and had long been at the top, possessed the arrogance and conceit unique to geniuses. It was not easy for him to bow his head to others, and this kneeling must have taken a great deal of courage from him.
"I, Tong Qianjun, beg you, please help me!" Tong Qianjun shouted loudly, his voice so loud it seemed to shatter the car window.
Xiao Chen smiled dismissively and said nonchalantly, "You think I'll help you just because you kneel down before me? You're too naive!"
As the lord of the Underworld, countless people used to come to him every day seeking his help and worshipping him. If he helped everyone, he wouldn't have the energy.
"You can leave now. I, Xiao Chen, don't help people casually. You're not qualified." Xiao Chen said indifferently, his tone icy.
Tong Qianjun's face turned extremely ugly, and he said angrily, "Are you playing me?"
"Don't think too highly of yourself. You're not worthy of my teasing." Xiao Chen's tone was calm, but it was like a sharp blade, piercing Tong Qianjun's heart.
"Drive," Xiao Chen uttered succinctly.
The Governor-General of Jiangbei immediately shifted into gear and prepared to step on the gas.
"You can't leave!" Tong Qianjun cried out, gripping the car door tightly with both hands and pulling hard.
"boom!"
With a loud crash, the right rear door of the luxury car was ripped off by him. After all, as a martial artist at the King level, Tong Qianjun's strength far surpassed that of ordinary people.
"presumptuous!"
Xiao Chen's face instantly turned cold, anger rising in his heart, and he abruptly flicked his sleeve.
"call……"
With a flick of his sleeve, a powerful surge of energy roared out, like an invisible blade, hurtling towards Tong Qianjun.
Tong Qianjun was shocked and felt the intense, deadly threat. He quickly mobilized all his internal energy to resist it.
However, the moment that force touched his defense, it crumbled instantly, like dry leaves being blown away. Tong Qianjun was blasted away like a kite with a broken string.
"puff!"
Tong Qianjun coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief. He already knew that Xiao Chen was stronger than him, but this time, the power Xiao Chen displayed was far greater than before, simply beyond his imagination.
Just how terrifying was the strength of this young martial artist of his generation?
Tong Qianjun's resolve hardened. He gritted his teeth, struggled to his feet, and bowed to Xiao Chen once more.
"I beg you again, if you are willing to help me, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, to be your slave! No matter what it is, I will not hesitate!" he said hoarsely as he coughed up blood.
Before Xiao Chen could speak, the Governor of Jiangbei angrily pushed open the car door and got out.
"You're from the Tong family, aren't you? How dare you!" The Governor-General of Jiangbei glared at Tong Qianjun, his authoritative voice resounding like a great bell.
At first, Tong Qianjun thought he was just Xiao Chen's ordinary driver, but after a casual glance, his expression suddenly froze.
"You...you are the Governor-General of Jiangbei!"
His face was instantly filled with shock, the shock even overshadowing the pain in his body.
Tong Qianjun was deeply shocked. The Governor-General of Jiangbei was the most powerful and influential figure in the Jiangbei region, holding an extremely prestigious position. Such a high-ranking person was actually willing to act as Xiao Chen's driver?
Tong Qianjun felt his mind reeling. Wasn't Xiao Chen just an outcast from the Xiao family of Nancheng?
While it was indeed remarkable that someone had reached the King-level realm at such a young age, earning his admiration, the scene before him was simply too illogical. There was absolutely no way a young King-level martial artist could command such servility from the Governor-General of Jiangbei.
He suddenly realized that the person he had finally mustered the courage to ask for help was no ordinary person, but someone with an extraordinary and unbelievable identity.
Xiao Chen slowly stepped out of the car and gestured with his eyes for the Jiangbei Governor, who was about to cause trouble, to step back.
"Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Xiao Chen asked, intrigued.
"I want to ask you to help me improve my strength!" Tong Qianjun said with difficulty, his face full of expectation and longing.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, revealing a knowing expression.
"Why did you come to me?" he pressed. In the eyes of others, he was merely at the King level. If Tong Qianjun truly wanted to improve his strength, he should have sought help from those established, veteran Martial Kings.
"Because my intuition tells me that only you can help me improve my strength at the fastest speed!" Tong Qianjun replied earnestly.
Xiao Chen remained noncommittal, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "You just said you'd do anything for me if I helped you? What if I asked you to cripple your own martial arts?"
These words struck Tong Qianjun like a hammer blow, instantly freezing his expression. He was torn between two conflicting emotions, his face shifting constantly, filled with inner turmoil.
A moment later, his face contorted with rage, and he suddenly raised a hand and slapped himself without hesitation.
