NOVEL NEXT Chapter 339 Refusing to Apologize
"And just now, you also slapped my family's young master on the face."
"I'm not asking for an apology anymore, let's call it even, what do you think?"
After clearly seeing the identity of the old man standing in front of him, Zhou Kunyu, like clutching at a lifeline, grabbed the old man's clothes and pleaded:
"Uncle Niu! Uncle Niu, I must retaliate for what he did to me, Uncle Niu, he just slapped me and stole my woman, you must help me get even, Uncle Niu!"
And the people around them now realized the identity of this so-called "Uncle Niu" that Zhou Kunyu was referring to.
"Niu Fei, yes, being the eldest son of the Zhou Family Consortium, Zhou Kunyu would naturally have protection when he came out, and now it looks like there is someone protecting Zhou Kunyu, that person is Niu Fei!"
"Niu Fei! That is a Peak Fifth Rank Warrior, rumored to be stepping into the ranks of Fourth Grade Martial Warrior soon, and now that Niu Fei has shown up, it seems Wang Ye is going to be finished."
"Alas, Wang Ye, at only twenty years old, has already become a Martial Warrior, with a terrifying talent in martial arts, but Wang Ye is just in his twenties after all, there's no way he could be a match for Niu Fei."
The onlookers looked at Wang Ye with eyes filled with pity, while some took pleasure in his misfortune.
"Don't speak."
Niu Fei turned back, giving Zhou Kunyu an angry glare before respectfully addressing Wang Ye with a fist salute:
"Wang Ye, I also know that from the start, our Young Master Zhou was in the wrong, I hope you can be more forgiving towards our Young Master Zhou and, out of respect for this old man, refrain from any further action, and apologize to our Young Master Zhou. Then we can consider this matter completely settled, how about that?"
This attitude from Niu Fei also sparked a round of discussion among the others present.
"I didn't expect that at this moment, Niu Fei would actually forgo punishing Wang Ye, and instead is just asking for an apology. Niu Fei truly behaves like a master."
"Yes, Niu Fei must see that although Wang Ye is a Martial Warrior, his strength is still too weak. He doesn't want to lower himself to fight someone of such low realm, that's why he's giving Wang Ye a chance to apologize. Niu Fei's magnanimity is simply too admirable."
"I thought Wang Ye was definitely going to be severely taught a lesson, but unexpectedly, he now has a chance to apologize."
The onlooking passersby discussed as they turned their eyes to Wang Ye, waiting for him to apologize.
In everyone's opinion, Wang Ye was arrogant just now because he knew he was a Martial Warrior with powerful strength, but now with the even more powerful Niu Fei here, Wang Ye would surely apologize.
However.
When Wang Ye heard Niu Fei's words, he just "heh" with a mocking face as he looked at Niu Fei and said, "So just because he failed to bully me, he's not wrong? I need to apologize? Are you saying, if he had successfully bullied me, then it would just be my own fault, is that it?"
"Apologize?"
"Apologize my ass!"
Wang Ye's response left the onlookers stunned, even Ke Linger was a bit shocked, while He Gu, Yao Xin, Yan Chuang, and Tian Hailin, the four of them, looked at Wang Ye with incomprehension in their eyes.
Ke Linger approached Wang Ye and said:
"Wang Ye, you'd better just apologize to Niu Fei. Otherwise, he is a Peak Fifth Rank Warrior and is about to break through to become a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior. If you don't apologize to him, and it comes to blows, you won't be a match for him."
Although Ke Linger also knew that the matter was not Wang Ye's fault at all.
However, in a situation where strength was overwhelmingly crushed, a wise man knew when to bow; thus, the wisest thing for Wang Ye to do next would still be to offer Niu Fei a word of concession.
"Apologize?"
Facing Ke Linger's persuasion, Wang Ye still shook his head with a very firm attitude and spoke:
"It's impossible for me to apologize. If the fault were mine, I would have apologized from the beginning. But since it isn't, I will not apologize!"
"Uncle Niu! You see, Wang Ye won't apologize! Since he won't apologize, then we should properly teach him a lesson next! After all, we have already given him a chance, but he won't even apologize, clearly not taking us seriously. Next, let's teach Wang Ye a good lesson!"
Behind Niu Fei, Zhou Kunyu, seeing that Wang Ye had no intention of apologizing, also spoke to Niu Fei.
Niu Fei ignored Zhou Kunyu.
Although the people present did not know the extent of Wang Ye's strength, Zhou Kunyu could tell from the movement technique Wang Ye displayed during his exchanges with those people that Wang Ye likely possessed the strength of a Fifth Grade Martial Warrior.
Even more so.
The strength that Wang Ye possessed was about the same as his own, that of a Peak Fifth Rank Warrior.
Under such circumstances, rather than fighting Wang Ye, it would be better to have him apologize.
Niu Fei, with a more serious expression than before, rebuked Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, I don't want to fight you, but if you still won't apologize, then don't blame me for being rude to you next!"
"Heh."
Wang Ye, upon hearing Niu Fei's words, still showed no intention of apologizing; instead, he laughed and spoke to Niu Fei, "Since you've already said that, I really want to see how exactly you're going to be rude to me."
"You!"
Niu Fei looked at Wang Ye with a face full of annoyance. Although he did not want to get physical with Wang Ye, the unwavering refusal to apologize had completely infuriated him.
After all.
If Wang Ye apologized, it would be giving face to the Zhou Family Consortium.
But Wang Ye's refusal to apologize.
Meant he was not giving face to the Zhou Family Consortium!
If under these circumstances he continued talking to Wang Ye without teaching him a harsh lesson, once he returned, he would be the one to receive a harsh lesson from the Zhou Family Consortium.
"Fine, Wang Ye! You're something else!"
"Since you refuse to apologize, then I can only teach you a good lesson myself. You won't apologize; I will make you apologize by force!"
Having said that, Niu Fei began to walk step by step towards Wang Ye.
Seeing this, Ke Linger panicked immediately.
She hurried to stand in front of Wang Ye, and He Gu along with the other three also positioned themselves in front of Wang Ye.
