Chapter 51: The Bracelet from Second Sister is Broken
“Your little waste didn’t even scratch his skin or break a bone; he’s jumping around like nothing happened! But look at my child—look at what you’ve done to him!”
The noblewoman scrambled up from the ground, holding the little fatty’s face up for everyone to see.
Though she was terrified of Shěn Zéyù, her cowering gaze turned resolute where her son was concerned.
Even knowing that continuing would only provoke the man before her, she steeled herself and spoke.
The little fatty’s mother might not have the best character, but her love for her son was genuine.
It was just a pity that her son didn’t seem to feel it.
“Mama is so useless! I want Papa! He knocked out my teeth—how am I supposed to eat now? Tell Papa to kill him!”
The little fatty threw himself into the woman’s arms with total abandon, nearly knocking her over.
With his two front teeth missing, his speech was a bit airy and comical.
But the words he spoke were anything but funny—they were bone-chilling.
Shěn Zéyù’s brow furrowed. He unceremoniously hoisted the little fatty up and said coldly, “Believe it or not, before your papa even gets here, I’ll knock out every single one of your teeth myself?”
The little fatty, who had been wailing and throwing a tantrum, went silent instantly.
His legs shook, and he trembled all over.
It was as if he were seeing a supremely dangerous Fierce Beast approaching him, its claws out to tear him in two.
Having spent years on the border stars, Shěn Zéyù dealt with vicious criminals, star pirates, and cross-border enemies…
He naturally radiated a murderous aura that few could face head-on, let alone a cub.
So what if he had an S-grade bloodline?
An S-grade bloodline was just the minimum requirement to even meet him.
Besides, it wasn’t as if he hadn’t killed S-grade Beastmen before.
The murderous light in Shěn Zéyù’s eyes was terrifying.
The terrified little fatty shuddered and burst into a shrill wail.
Snot and tears covered his face.
Disdain flashed through Shěn Zéyù’s eyes.
“Shěn Zéyù, let go of my baby!”
An angry roar erupted from the doorway.
Shěn Zéyù had been looking for a way to get rid of the dirty child in his hands, and the opportunity had arrived.
He tossed the boy toward the newcomer.
“Baby!!!”
The man’s eyes nearly bulged out. He reached out frantically, preparing to catch the boy.
However, he overestimated his own strength and underestimated the little fatty’s weight.
As he caught him, a sharp crack sounded, followed by the man’s face going pale.
Father and son both collapsed onto the floor.
Shěn Lín poked his head out from Big Brother’s arms, curiously observing the newcomer.
The man was pale, with dark circles under his eyes and a sheen of cold sweat—it looked like the result of several all-nighters.
Shěn Lín pouted.
From just a look, he could tell this man was weak!
Not just on the surface; despite his tall frame, he was clearly physically drained.
Vélìkè’ěr pushed his son aside and clutched his lower back, his face turning a deep red.
The change had happened in an instant; before the noblewoman could react, both her son and husband were on the ground.
She hurried forward, panicked, not knowing which one to help first.
Ultimately, she chose to help her husband, whose condition seemed worse.
“Husband, are you alright?”
Vélìkè’ěr shoved her aside impatiently.
The principal, meanwhile, kindly offered his own office chair.
Vélìkè’ěr sat down while clutching his back, his previous aggressive demeanor completely gone.
The atmosphere turned awkward.
The little fatty, acting like a quest-triggering NPC, saw the plot was stalled and immediately began to wail again, pointing at Shěn Lín. “Papa, that Shěn waste bullied me! Help me kill him!”
“Shut up!”
Vélìkè’ěr’s voice was sharp, his face contorted with pain.
Yesterday, his subordinates had sent him a beautiful snake-woman, and he’d spent the entire night with her. He’d just fallen asleep when his wife called to say their son had been beaten at school.
Vélìkè’ěr had physical issues and this was his only heir, so he doted on him excessively.
With his son in trouble, he couldn’t just stay away.
He hadn’t expected that before he could even solve his son’s problem, his own back would go out.
And the cause of all this was the Shěn family!
His hatred for the Shěns had reached its peak.
The second Shěn child gave his father trouble, the eldest Shěn child gave him trouble, and now even a little waste was daring to bully his son!
It was as if they were all taking turns to pluck the wool from his family’s back!
Vélìkè’ěr fumed inwardly.
The little fatty had no idea what his father was thinking; he only knew he’d been shouted at.
“Papa, you yelled at me! You actually yelled at me! My head started hurting for no reason while I was fighting that waste, and now it hurts even more because you yelled!”
The little fatty rolled around on the floor, wailing.
Hearing the boy mention his head hurting, Shěn Zéyù instinctively looked down, meeting a pair of black eyes that were identical to his own.
Shěn Lín tilted his head and said sweetly, “Big Brother~”
“It’s alright. Big Brother will protect you.”
The sentence carried two layers of meaning.
Shěn Zéyù looked at the wailing fatty, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
Whether the boy’s words were intentional or not.
He was certain that Bǐngbǐng had used his special ability during the fight to affect the boy’s nerves.
If someone were to discover Bǐngbǐng’s anomaly…
A small hand suddenly gripped his own, and he met the cub’s gaze.
Those dark eyes were curved into crescents.
“It’s okay~”
The voice was soothing.
Shěn Zéyù paused, his heart softening into mush as he rubbed the cub’s fluffy head.
He leaned in and whispered, “Bǐngbǐng, are you sure no one will find out?”
“Mhmm~”
Shěn Lín nodded, giving Big Brother a reassuring look.
Shěn Zéyù relaxed just a tiny bit.
Still, he’d find someone he trusted to conduct an inspection later. If anything were found to be wrong, he’d just destroy the evidence.
Big Brother Shěn was already calmly planning how to dispose of a body.
He even had the leisure to help straighten the cub’s messy clothes.
Shěn Lín leaned against Big Brother’s chest, playing with his fingers as he watched the family of three across from them argue.
Their intimacy did not escape Mò Qīng’s notice.
His narrow eyes flickered with a sharp glint.
Vélìkè’ěr caught his breath and prepared to soothe his son.
However, before he could speak, Shěn Zéyù struck first.
“Regarding your son’s actions in attacking my younger brother and his verbal abuse, does your Vélì family have an explanation for the Shěn family?”
“Explanation my foot! Everyone knows your family produced a little waste. Was my son wrong about anything? Besides, my son is the one who’s injured. It’s the Shěn family that should be giving us an explanation!”
“But Uncle, your son is an S-grade and he still couldn’t beat Bǐngbǐng. Doesn’t that make him even more of a waste?”
“You…”
Vélìkè’ěr turned to snap back.
But seeing the faces of the Merfolk, both large and small, his words died in his throat.
The Merfolk Great Elder and the Little Prince were both people he couldn’t afford to provoke.
Aside from their formidable combat skills, the Merfolk were notoriously protective.
If he dared to insult the Little Prince today, a group of Merfolk would be at his door tomorrow.
He didn’t want to end up in pieces.
Vélìkè’ěr forced a stiff smile at the two, then turned his ire back onto his own son.
“You couldn’t even beat a waste?!”
The little fatty stammered, his face full of guilt.
Vélìkè’ěr felt like he was about to have a stroke. He took a deep breath and shifted his target.
“No matter what, the Shěn family waste—”
“Vélìkè’ěr, I suggest you use your brain before you speak again!”
A black blade hung in mid-air, its tip pointed directly at Vélìkè’ěr’s eyeball.
The pressure from the blade, forged from bloodline energy, hit him head-on.
Several deep, bloody gashes appeared on Vélìkè’ěr’s face.
Though holographic technology could restore his appearance, the physical pain was very real.
Vélìkè’ěr valued his life and didn’t want to provoke this lunatic further. When he spoke again, the word “waste” had vanished from his vocabulary.
“Regardless, it’s a fact that your child hit my son. You… you must compensate us!”
“Sure.”
Big Brother Shěn agreed with surprising ease.
“Tell me, how much?”
Vélìkè’ěr’s eyes darted around, and he made a gesture with his hand.
“This many high-grade energy stones. Not a single one less!”
Since he couldn’t vent his anger on his son’s behalf, he’d take as much compensation as he could.
He happened to be short on cash lately, and this money would make his life much easier.
Shěn Zéyù didn’t waste words, tossing over a low-grade spatial button.
Vélìkè’ěr scrambled to catch it, checked the number of energy stones inside, and after confirming it was correct, prepared to take his son and leave.
Adjutant Karl blocked Vélìkè’ěr’s path.
“What, trying to back out?”
“The compensation is settled. Now it’s our turn for an explanation.”
“What more is there to explain? Shěn Zéyù, let me tell you, I’m not afraid of you! My son is injured and needs treatment; I don’t have time for this nonsense! Don’t forget, my father is the Fifth Council Elder. If you push me, I’ll have him personally demand an explanation from Shěn Zéxī!”
Shěn Zéyù pulled up a document from his star-computer and flicked it toward Vélìkè’ěr.
“Your son broke Bǐngbǐng’s gemstone bracelet.”
“A single broken bracelet—how much could it possibly be worth? Has the Shěn family really fallen so far that you’re begging for bracelet money?”
Shěn Zéyù watched the cub play with his fingers, not even looking up as he said, “Read the receipt first.”
Vélìkè’ěr dismissively opened the holographic receipt. “I’ll see just how much a broken chain could be wor… wor… worth…”
Vélìkè’ěr froze, his eyes glued to the numbers on the receipt.
At this point, the little fatty still hadn’t noticed his father’s expression, lifting his chin arrogantly. “That’s right, just a broken chain, and you’re treating it like a treasure. My papa has plenty of money; he can buy enough of those to fill an entire planet!”
“Is that so?” Shěn Zéyù looked at Vélìkè’ěr with a faint smile, then turned to the little fatty. “Your papa is that wealthy?”
“Of course! My papa has more money than he knows what to do with—”
Slap!
“Papa, you hit me?!”
“Husband, what are you doing?! Can’t you talk to the child properly?”
Since Vélìkè’ěr had arrived, the noblewoman hadn’t said much.
She had thought her husband would back up their son, but instead, the boy had gotten a slap to the face.
Vélìkè’ěr was shaking with rage, pointing at the boy but unable to speak.
The noblewoman was confused. Their son was their only heir, and her husband usually doted on him even more than she did. Why would he hit him?
Just how much was that bracelet worth?
Enough to make the boy’s father hit him?
The noblewoman stepped forward to look, and her eyes nearly popped out of her head. She stammered, “O… One million!”
The noblewoman’s monthly spending was usually no less than five million, but that was in Star Coins.
The compensation they were looking at now wasn’t just a million Star Coins—it was a million high-grade energy stones!
A single high-grade energy stone was worth 500,000 Star Coins.
How much would a million be?
The noblewoman felt dizzy and collapsed onto the floor.
“Since your son says you have more money than you can spend, you should be able to pay, right? If you try to default, I wouldn’t mind helping the Fifth Council Elder become even more famous.”
“How could Major General Shěn think that? It’s just that the amount is too large; I need to move some family assets. It’ll take some time.”
The arrogance on Vélìkè’ěr’s face was gone, replaced by a strained smile.
Shěn Zéyù smirked. “Then put it in writing.”
Vélìkè’ěr’s hand shook as he entered his ID information into the holographic contract.
The electronic voice sounded.
[Date: Federation Year XX, Month XX, Day XX. The son of Vélìkè’ěr has without cause damaged the final masterpiece left by Master Lafayette, the Light of Hope Clara Dream Pink Gemstone Bracelet, valued at one million high-grade energy stones…] [Compensating Party: Vélìkè’ěr.][Method of Compensation: Full payment within three days…][Creditor: Shěn Lín!][Contract established. Do both parties confirm? (Yes/No)]
