Divine War Pill Emperor

Wen Bufan was horrified.

"Jiang Chen, how dare you plot against me."

"You’re courting death! Give me the antidote, now!"

His eyes practically shot fire as he glared at Jiang Chen.

’Jiang Chen is just too detestable.’

’He hated Jiang Chen’s guts.’

"Hand over the antidote to our Young Master, now!"

"Jiang Chen, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

It wasn’t just the guards from the City Lord’s Mansion; Lin Hai’s eyes were wide with fury.

He was about to explode with rage.

BOOM!

Behind Wen Bufan, the Martial King Puppet instantly took a step forward.

An aura befitting a Martial King erupted from it.

Everyone glared at Jiang Chen, demanding the antidote.

Just then.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from beside Jiang Chen.

Elder Qi, who had been sitting in his wheelchair, suddenly slapped its armrest. He shot into the air, appearing abruptly behind Jiang Chen.

His face was a cold mask as he faced off against the men from the City Lord’s Mansion.

That’s right. With his Martial King Cultivation, Elder Qi was now a Martial King Expert.

’This was precisely why Jiang Chen had kept Elder Qi here. He had anticipated that the people from the City Lord’s Mansion might turn hostile and become difficult to handle.’

’With Elder Qi present, nothing could go wrong.’

Although Elder Qi had no legs, his ability to hover in mid-air was a clear sign of a Martial King’s power—the ability to traverse the void.

"Anyone who dares to make a move in our Jiang Family... I will not let them leave this place alive."

Elder Qi’s voice was laced with thick killing intent.

He remembered how the men from the City Lord’s Mansion had persecuted him, and his heart filled with deep resentment.

If he hadn’t joined the Jiang Family and feared causing them trouble, he would have already stormed the City Lord’s Mansion to claim his revenge.

Everyone gasped.

"A Martial King Expert."

The moment they saw Elder Qi suddenly rise into the air, it wasn’t just Wen Bufan and Lin Hai whose expressions changed drastically.

Even the Martial King Puppet behind Wen Bufan seemed to falter for a second.

It was as if it never expected Elder Qi to be a Martial King Expert.

Wen Bufan and Lin Hai knew better than anyone. When they had hunted Elder Qi down, he had yet to make his breakthrough.

But now, after such a short time, he had actually broken through to the Martial King Cultivation.

It was simply unbelievable.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the Jiang Family’s reception hall grew tense.

But no one dared to make a move.

With a Martial King Expert on each side, the outcome of a fight was impossible to predict.

A battle between Martial King Experts was no laughing matter.

The fact that Jiang Chen had a Martial King Expert on his side made Wen Bufan instantly realize that causing trouble for the Jiang Family today was clearly impossible.

The problem was, his anger hadn’t subsided in the slightest.

"Jiang Chen, give me the antidote, or this isn’t over between us!"

’He’d never thought Jiang Chen would actually dare to move against him, yet here he was.’

’And in front of so many of the City Lord’s Mansion’s guards, no less.’

’The sheer audacity!’

Jiang Chen, however, remained seated, perfectly calm. He took a sip of his own tea, unconcerned. He had the antidote, after all, so he had nothing to worry about.

He chuckled. "What’s the rush? I’m not worried, so why are you?"

Wen Bufan nearly coughed up blood in fury.

’Of course you’re not worried! You obviously took the antidote!’

’But I didn’t!’

He glared furiously at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen slowly set down his teacup and looked at Wen Bufan. "Don’t worry, Eldest Young Master Wen. You still have three days."

"You still have three days left, right?"

BANG!

Wen Bufan slammed his fist on the table. "Jiang Chen, what the hell do you want?" he roared.

"What will it take for you to give me the antidote?"

Jiang Chen shrugged, the picture of indifference.

"I’m easy. The question is, what are *you* going to do?"

"After all, you still have three days."

"If you want to go back to the City Lord’s Mansion, I won’t object. You can leave our Jiang Family right now. No one is stopping you."

Wen Bufan was on the verge of breaking down. He was filled with a burning rage that he had no way to vent.

He was so angry he could spit blood.

Jiang Chen was impervious to both threats and pleas. More importantly, Wen Bufan couldn’t figure out what Jiang Chen was after.

’No, wait. It must be because I smashed the Jiang Family’s store and shut down their shops. That’s why Jiang Chen is using these tactics against me.’

’So utterly vicious.’

Finally, Wen Bufan said through gritted teeth, "Jiang Chen, fine! I’ll unseal your Jiang Family’s shops right now."

"Just give me the antidote."

However, Jiang Chen just waved his hand dismissively.

"What’s the rush? I’m not in a hurry. And I never said you should unseal our Jiang Family’s shops."

"Sit down. Let’s chat. We have three whole days and nights to talk."

’At this moment, Wen Bufan truly wanted to die. He had fallen right into the trap. Jiang Chen was just toying with him.’

Resentment. Wen Bufan was filled with a deep, profound resentment.

He regretted ever coming here for tea with Jiang Chen.

He thought he could easily handle Jiang Chen, but now he was the one being handled, completely at Jiang Chen’s mercy.

"Jiang Chen, just tell me. What are your conditions for giving me the antidote?"

Jiang Chen fell into thought.

Then, his expression turned serious. "Alright, how about this? It’s simple. Change your name, join our Jiang Family, and become my little brother. Then I’ll give you the antidote."

"You can call yourself Jiang Bufan, or maybe just Jiang Fan. Both work."

What?

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Wen Bufan nearly fainted on the spot.

’Change his name, join the Jiang Family, and become Jiang Chen’s little brother?’

’This was beyond a joke. It was something Wen Bufan could never, ever accept.’

"Impossible! I can’t agree to that condition!"

’Changing one’s family name was the ultimate humiliation.’

’It was tantamount to betraying the Wen Family and the City Lord’s Mansion.’

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Then there’s nothing to be done. You should head back to the City Lord’s Mansion."

"In three days, not even the gods will be able to save you."

At that, Wen Bufan nearly fell to his knees before Jiang Chen.

"Wait! Young Master Jiang Chen, I’m begging you, please give me the antidote!"

Wen Bufan was really on the verge of tears. If this kept up, he was going to lose his mind.

"So you’re not leaving?"

"Alright then."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said to Lin Hai and the others, "You all can head back. When you do, just say that Eldest Young Master Wen came to our Jiang Family for tea, had such a wonderful time that he has decided to stay and won’t be leaving."

Wen Bufan almost collapsed.

Lin Hai and the others exchanged uncertain glances.

The situation was getting serious.

But then, a flash of realization seemed to strike Wen Bufan.

’He remembered doing the exact same thing once before.’

’He had "invited" Jiang Xuan of the Jiang Family to the City Lord’s Mansion, then told the Jiang Family that Jiang Xuan was having such a good time, he didn’t want to leave.’

’And now, Jiang Chen was using the exact same tactic on him.’

’Only Jiang Chen’s methods were far more ruthless.’

’He’d straight-up poisoned him.’

It all clicked into place.

He scrambled to say to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, I get it! I’ll have my men send Jiang Xuan back right away."

"Right now! Immediately!"

"Quick! Go get Jiang Xuan and bring him back!"

Jiang Chen smiled. His primary goal was, indeed, to get Jiang Xuan back.

He said at once, "Make sure he returns safely. Remember, if anything happens to him... three days will pass in the blink of an eye."

"This opportunity won’t wait. You’d better think it through."

Wen Bufan immediately roared at Lin Hai and his men, "Hurry up! What are you all standing around for?"

"If even a single hair on Jiang Xuan’s head is out of place, I’ll have your lives!"
