Chapter 164: Chapter 164: You Must Apologize to My Husband in All Public Settings

Around them, many people were staring fervently at Daniel on the stage.

The audience also noticed the commotion and turned to look.

The young man reached out, gripped Chu He’s shoulder tightly,

and shouted to the surrounding fans who had come to see Daniel, "This guy is embarrassing our Great Xia Empire!

"Daniel was absolutely right. Most people from our Great Xia Empire are just uncivilized.

"He didn’t even buy a ticket and he’s trying to push his way to the front! He’s probably trying to cause trouble for Daniel!

"Oh, and another thing! This guy also said everything Daniel says on stage is fake and hypocritical,

"and that he wants to destroy our Great Xia Empire!"

As the young man continued his embellished, non-stop tirade, many people in the crowd had already recognized Chu He.

"Oh my god, look who that is!"

"That’s our Great Xia Empire’s very own Chu He! What’s he doing here?"

"Is that guy insane? Daring to lay hands on Chu He? Even Vishnu, one of the three prime gods of the White Elephant Empire, had both his arms chopped off by him."

"From what that guy just said... Chu He thinks Daniel wants to destroy our Great Xia Empire. Does that mean Chu He came to this plaza specifically for Daniel?"

"That seems unlikely. Every single one of Daniel’s videos and productions is filled with such positive energy."

The fans began to murmur among themselves. Some were visibly excited to see the real Chu He in person,

while others were lost in thought over what the young man had said.

’A major figure like Chu He suddenly showing up here must mean something extraordinary is about to happen.’

"Let go of me," Chu He said, turning his head to the side.

"Let you go? Why should I?

"You need to apologize to Daniel, and to all of us fans who actually bought tickets!

"So what if you’re some ’Chu He’?

"I’ve never heard of you, but you’re still human, and you’re still a citizen of the Great Xia Empire."

The young man kept his tight grip on Chu He’s shoulder, refusing to let go.

Chu He slowly raised his hand and flicked a finger against the young man’s chest.

A terrifying force erupted from the point of contact, instantly caving the young man’s chest inward.

The young man was sent flying,

smashing an unattended stall to smithereens before crashing heavily onto the ground.

He desperately tried to suck oxygen into his body to sustain his life,

but his chest was completely caved in. Shattered ribs had pierced his lungs, which were now nothing but a mangled pulp.

The young man’s mouth hung open as his body twitched uncontrollably.

But no matter how he strained, he couldn’t draw in any significant amount of oxygen.

"Mr. Chu, was... was that really necessary?"

a few members of the headquarters Guard said, looking horrified.

"Is there any reason for someone like him to remain in the Great Xia Empire?

"I have no obligation to help him distinguish right from wrong. It’s better to let him get a fresh start in his next life."

Chu He replied coolly, then began walking toward the stage under the terrified gazes coming from all directions.

"Excuse me, what’s going on here?" Daniel asked.

"What’s going on? Don’t you know perfectly well?" Chu He retorted.

"Look, he appeared to be one of my fans. If you can’t give me a convincing reason for what you did, I will report this to the relevant authorities of the Great Xia Empire and have you arrested.

"He only came here today to see me. What right do you have to attack and harm him?"

Daniel held the microphone in his hand,

and the surrounding loudspeakers carried his voice clearly to everyone in the audience.

A large portion of the crowd nodded in agreement.

Many of them didn’t really know what had happened, but they had all witnessed Chu He make the lethal move with their own eyes.

The man who had been killed lay stiffly on the ground, his blood already staining the ground crimson.

He still clutched a camera, his eyes wide and round, staring blankly at the sky above the plaza. It was clear he was beyond dead.

"I issued a clear edict long ago in the Great Xia Empire: it is strictly forbidden for anyone to acquire any products that have a suppressive effect on Evil Spirits,

"and all transactions, communication, or entanglements with Evil Spirits are prohibited.

"You come here under the guise of a foreign visitor who loves the Great Xia Empire,

"yet you commit acts that undermine it. That is why I have come today."

Chu He said icily.

"Do you have any proof?" the woman beside him demanded, standing up to shield Daniel.

"I don’t need proof to make an arrest," Chu He replied calmly.

"That’s just tyrannical! So what if you’re Chu He?

"Whether in the Lighthouse Empire or the Great Xia Empire, you need proof to make an arrest.

"Everyone is watching this happen. Does the Great Xia Empire have no rule of law?

"Besides, my husband is a citizen of the Lighthouse Empire. You have no right to arrest him, even if he has made a mistake."

the woman said defiantly.

Many in the surrounding crowd frowned. Although the woman’s words had a certain logic,

her last sentence rubbed all the Great Xia citizens present the wrong way.

’What does she mean, her husband is from the Lighthouse Empire, so Chu He has no right to arrest him?

’Even if her husband did something wrong, it doesn’t matter who you are. If you commit a crime in the Great Xia Empire,

’you should pay the price!

’The Great Xia Empire has its own laws,

’and on the soil of the Great Xia Empire, you must follow the laws of the Great Xia Empire!’

"Do you think I would have come for your husband if I didn’t have proof?" Chu He asked.

Faced with Chu He’s intensely oppressive gaze, the woman’s confidence inexplicably faltered, and a surge of fear washed over her.

His eyes were just too cold, completely devoid of the warmth of human emotion.

The image of the young man, flicked to his death by Chu He’s finger, suddenly flashed through her mind.

His corpse lay on the ground, the stench of blood permeating the air.

’Chu He wouldn’t treat me the same way, would he?’

"And if you’re wrong? If you’ve arrested the wrong person, will you apologize to my husband?"

But the woman still braced herself and continued to ask.

Chu He could already tell

that the woman was completely ignorant of what her foreign husband, Daniel, had done.

Looking at Daniel’s expression and the shift in his eyes, although he remained as calm as ever,

beneath that calm was a panic he was desperately trying to conceal.

In fact, Daniel had already reached a conclusion himself: ’If Chu He hadn’t gotten his hands on sufficient proof, he absolutely wouldn’t have come for me.’

’After all, there were probably very few people on all of Blue Star who didn’t know what a major figure Chu He was.’

Looking at her husband’s elegant, gentlemanly face, a sudden surge of courage rose in the woman’s heart.

"Chu He, I’m talking to you! Did you or did you not hear what I said?

"If you’ve wrongly arrested my husband, you must apologize to him in every public forum."

Before she could even finish her sentence, Chu He raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

The exquisitely controlled force instantly shattered the woman’s jaw, making it impossible for her to utter another word from her ruined mouth.
