Avoiding Confrontation

Chu Li closed fist saluted. "Great, we'll wait and see!"

"Safe journeys, Head Chief Chu. Sorry I won't be sending you off!" Chen Kong closed fist saluted back.

"Wait!" Shouted Leng Tao. "Elder Chen, why did you let him go? I got hit for nothing?"

He pointed his fat face that was swollen up and yelled, "So a prince such as I can be treated like this?!"

"What do you want to do, dear prince?" Chu Li shifted his gaze to look at him.

"I want to ruthlessly beat you up!" Leng Tao gnashed his teeth.

Chu Li smiled. "And do you have the capability to do that? Why don't you bring His Royal Highness out here and have him order for me not to resist so that you could give a slap or two?"

"How dare you defile my Father's words?" Scoffed Leng Tao. "I will call him."

Chu Li's grin widened. "How could King Cheng order me not to retaliate? Is it just because he is a prince? Or because his rank is high enough?"
