Chapter 1118: Bite Me If You Dare!
When Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei were momentarily worried about Qin Tian's strength, they exchanged a smile, feeling no need to worry anymore.
"Captain, there's no use in us fretting here. This time, we're using others to do our bidding, letting Dahe deal with War Dragon and Qin Tian. I think even if Qin Tian manages to survive, he'll be severely weakened."
Hu Zhengwei chuckled at Meng Kuang and said, "If we had known before that Qin Tian is an Immortality Cultivator, we would definitely have been concerned. But now, since Matsushita Shi is an Immortality Cultivator, I reckon his master, Matsushma Kaede, is several times more formidable."
"We killed Matsushita Shi and pinned it on Qin Tian, Matsushma Kaede will surely seek revenge against Qin Tian. Cultivator against cultivator, I think we're in for a great show."
When Hu Zhengwei finished speaking, Meng Kuang smiled lightly and said, "You're right. By the time they both suffer mutual injuries, the master will step in for an easy cleanup."
After Meng Kuang finished speaking, his gaze turned toward Zhao Baijing.
Zhao Baijing nodded and said, "If Qin Tian and Matsushma Kaede join forces against me, I might not be able to handle them both. However, if I wait until they've both been seriously injured or one of them is dead, I believe that no matter which one of them survives, they won't be able to stop me."
"Excellent, this time Skull is set to make a profit without any loss. Hmph, after this event, I believe Skull will undoubtedly dominate the Asian Mercenary Association!" Meng Kuang grew confident as well.
However, Hu Zhengwei, after careful consideration, said, "Master, Captain, no matter what, we must be cautious. Let's think of some foolproof strategies now..."
The three continued their plotting while, unbeknownst to Qin Tian, the threats of Dahe and Skull were closing in silently.
After acquiring a hefty 3.5 billion in funds from Ogamoto Yokawa, Qin Tian decided to expand War Dragon's scale. He urgently summoned Zhou Yang, Wild Boar, and Zhang Runhao to the Cloud Island Base. On one hand, he wanted to expand the infrastructure of Cloud Island Base; on the other, he tasked Wild Boar with recruiting to bolster War Dragon's talent pool.
Zhou Yang was responsible for all affairs there. Simultaneously, Qin Tian instructed Zhou Yang to closely monitor the members' movements within the Asian Mercenary Association and cultivate staunch supporters of War Dragon. Of course, the immediate priority was to find a competent team to participate in the elections for council members, so that War Dragon could start nurturing its own insiders within the council.
After making all the arrangements, Qin Tian left Cloud Island Base and set out to return to Beijing.
Of course, on his way back, Qin Tian brought along his large collection of Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass onto the plane.
On the plane, when people saw Qin Tian boarding with a backpack filled with dried wild grass, they all cast looks of surprise and mockery at him. Some even said to his face, "Ha, where do you think you're going, wild man, bringing a rucksack on a plane like this? Country bumpkin, haven't you ever been out before?"
Qin Tian didn't bother to engage with the self-proclaimed tycoons staring disdainfully at him on the plane. He directly sat by the window, hugging his backpack, and fell asleep.
To be fair, the way Qin Tian looked did resemble a bit of a country bumpkin.
Especially since sitting next to him was a long-haired beauty in a purple waist-hugging mini-skirt. By comparison, it was as if one was in the heavens, and the other on the earth.
The long-haired beauty appeared to be in her early twenties, with her hair loose and wearing sunglasses. Despite her features being obscured, it was undeniable she was a great beauty, especially with her slender, long legs exposed due to the mini-skirt, attracting gazes from men around, who frequently sneaked peeks at her.
Of course, Qin Tian, seated closest, had the best opportunity to look.
However, this beauty seemed highly vigilant, and every time Qin Tian sneakily glanced at her legs, she caught him red-handed, forcing Qin Tian to awkwardly cough and hurriedly look away.
When Qin Tian's eyes again darted to the beauty's legs for the N-th time, she finally couldn't hold back anymore and snapped angrily, "Country bumpkin, don't go too far, where are your eyes looking? I've tolerated you long enough!"
If the beauty got angry, Qin Tian could understand, but besides speaking with disdain and arrogance, her tone also reeked of someone looking down on Qin Tian, which really annoyed him.
"Beauty, what did I do to provoke you?" Qin Tian suppressed his irritation.
"You've been staring at my legs, and you think you're right? Filthy migrant worker, never been on a plane, never seen a beauty?"
The woman in purple suddenly raised her voice, drawing attention from those nearby who began pointing fingers at Qin Tian.
It was clear that between a country bumpkin and a great beauty, people were inclined to believe Qin Tian was at fault.
"Your legs are right in front of me; what am I supposed to do? Keep my eyes shut the whole time?" Qin Tian retorted, "I can apologize if it's wrong to look at your legs. But you, without any manners, calling me a country bumpkin and a filthy laborer for no reason? Even country bumpkins and laborers have dignity!"
"Haha..."
With Qin Tian's words, everyone around laughed, thinking he was being unreasonable.
"You, a filthy laborer, have dignity? I'd give you a hundred bucks, and you'd kneel if I told you to kneel, right? Hmph, I've seen many poor country bumpkins like you! Worthless scum!"
The woman in purple, despite her beauty, spoke with a haughty, snobbish tone, clearly intending to humiliate Qin Tian!
"If it weren't that first-class tickets were sold out, I would never have flown economy class in my life. Hmph, just fearing encounters with lowly wretches like you! I'm warning you, behave yourself, or I'll make you regret it once we're off the plane!"
Qin Tian was already seething, and now, hearing the woman's filthy words only fueled his rage further. Is this how you look down on people? All I did was steal a glance, and after I apologized, you're still constantly insulting me?
Qin Tian's expression changed, and he retorted angrily:
"Hmph, you wretched woman, let's see how you 'make me regret it' off the plane. Right now, on the plane, I'll continue to stare at your legs, what's the problem? Maybe I'll even touch them, what'll you do?"
