He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 479 - 477: Turning Point

The scene instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It wasn't just the Wang Family that was shocked. Bei Kuang was stunned, and Lin Xiao was even more so. Wang Shicheng's words were like a bomb exploding in their ears.

"You're a member of the Dragon Alliance?" Bei Kuang asked coldly.

Wang Shicheng nodded. "Lord Bei Kuang, I'm a member of the Dragon Alliance's logistics department. It's only natural that you wouldn't recognize me."

"Stand up when you speak!" Bei Kuang commanded in a deep voice.

"As you wish!" Wang Shicheng scrambled to his feet.

"Find a place. I want to have a few words with you alone."

Wang Shicheng nodded again. "Lord Bei Kuang, please follow me," he said with the utmost respect.

Bei Kuang glanced at Lin Xiao, who nodded in return. He then followed Wang Shicheng into the villa, arriving at a secluded area.

"Who is the head of your logistics department?" Bei Kuang got straight to the point.

Wang Shicheng blurted out, "Li Buer!"

Bei Kuang nodded. "It seems you really are from the Dragon Alliance."

"Lord Bei Kuang, I wouldn't dare to impersonate a member!"

"I suppose not. Now, tell me, how should today's matter be handled?"

Wang Shicheng thought for a moment before asking, "Lord Bei Kuang, are you serving Lin Xiao now?"

"Indeed."

"Why don't you join our Wang Family instead? I will ensure you enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

"What, do you pity me?" Bei Kuang asked with a sneer.

The words stung Wang Shicheng, and he shuddered violently.

"Lord Bei Kuang, I wouldn't dare! I sincerely want to do something for you. To be honest, it's been twenty years since the Dragon Alliance was disbanded. I've thought countless times about my days there… and about our Alliance Hierarch!" As he finished speaking, his expression turned sorrowful, a truly sigh-inducing sight.

Bei Kuang restrained his killing intent. He suddenly asked, "Do you know who Lin Xiao is?"

Wang Shicheng shook his head, looking at Bei Kuang with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he would suddenly ask such a question.

"His surname is Lin, and the Alliance Hierarch's surname is also Lin," Bei Kuang said coldly.

Wang Shicheng instantly felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. He began to tremble, and his sharp, aged eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"Lord Bei Kuang, you mean to say… he, he is the Alliance Hierarch's…"

"Silence!"

Wang Shicheng immediately clamped his mouth shut. Bei Kuang looked around.

"This matter must not be leaked. You know how the Dragon Alliance was destroyed back then. If Lin Xiao's identity is revealed and it leads to a fatal disaster, neither of us can bear that responsibility."

"I understand, Lord Bei Kuang. Rest assured, I will not reveal a single word."

Bei Kuang grunted in acknowledgment.

Wang Shicheng still hadn't recovered from his shock. To think that the young man outside, who looks like a beggar, is actually… The thought left him so overwhelmed he could hardly breathe.

"How do you intend to deal with today's matter?"

"I will follow your lead entirely, Lord Bei Kuang!"

"Fine, that simplifies things. In fact, this is the wisest decision you've ever made. Do you have any idea what kind of man Lin Xiao is now?"

"Who, who is he?" Wang Shicheng asked, his voice trembling.

Could it be that the Alliance Leader's Command he held was genuine?

"He's very powerful. Tens of thousands of times more powerful than you can imagine. Let me put it this way: he could obliterate your entire Wang Family with a flick of his finger. Also, do you know who else is here today?"

"Lord Bei Kuang, I don't know. Please enlighten me!"

"The King of the Southern Town, Xiao Shixiong," Bei Kuang stated indifferently.

Once again, Wang Shicheng was startled. The Wang Family was certainly formidable, ranked second among the many prominent families in Jinhai City for a reason. They definitely had their own exceptional strengths. But even with such prowess, Wang Shicheng didn't dare to provoke Xiao Shixiong lightly. The man was not only from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, but he also controlled the underground world of the six southern provinces.

What Wang Shicheng hadn't expected was that such a renowned figure would be accompanying Lin Xiao, and apparently acting as his attendant.

Lin Xiao's identity…

A terrifying possibility suddenly emerged in Wang Shicheng's mind. He shivered uncontrollably as he thought of those two words.

"Lord Bei Kuang, there is something I wish to ask of you!"

"Speak."

"I beg you to put in a good word with Lin Xiao for me. Tell him the Wang Family knows it was wrong. We are willing to pay any price, so long as we are spared!" Wang Shicheng said humbly.

"Understood. I'll convey your message to him."

"Thank you, Lord Bei Kuang!"

"Let's go. Time to go outside."

Wang Shicheng nodded repeatedly. The two men then left the villa.

Bei Kuang got straight into the car.

"Finished talking?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

Bei Kuang nodded. "Yes, Dragon Lord. We're finished."

"So, what's the deal? Does he know you?"

"He's heard of me, but he probably doesn't recognize me."

Lin Xiao laughed. "So how does Wang Shicheng want to resolve this?"

"He said he's willing to pay any price to ensure the Wang Family's safety."

"Looks like he chickened out," Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "You didn't reveal my identity, did you?"

Bei Kuang replied quickly, "No, Dragon Lord. I didn't. But I gave him enough hints that he might be able to guess."

"Actually, even if you had revealed it, it wouldn't have mattered."

"Then, Dragon Lord, how do you think we should settle this?"

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment. "Since he's an old acquaintance of yours and his apology seems sincere, we'll be lenient."

"Alright, I'll call Wang Shicheng over immediately!"

"No need. Just call Xiao Shixiong."

"Understood."

Bei Kuang swiftly got out of the car and headed straight for Xiao Shixiong's vehicle. In no time, Xiao Shixiong came jogging over.

"Sir! What are your instructions?"

"The Wang Family has backed down. You handle the follow-up negotiations with them. Oh, and since the Wang Family has some connection with Bei Kuang, no need to be as tough on them as you were with the Xue Family."

"Understood!"

"Alright, it's settled. What about that Han trash?"

"He's in the trunk of my car."

"Hand him over to me."

"As you command!"

Xiao Shixiong waved his hand, and a few of his subordinates quickly transferred the piece of trash surnamed Han to the trunk of Lin Xiao's car.

Lin Xiao had intended to leave right away, but he saw Wang Shicheng standing at the villa's entrance, looking pitiful and obsequious. After a moment's thought, Lin Xiao beckoned to him.

Wang Shicheng quickly ran over, standing humbly by the car with his body bowed.

"Mr. Lin, about what happened before… I was a fool. I sincerely apologize…"

Lin Xiao waved a hand, cutting him off.

"Listen. You have some history with Bei Kuang, so we'll consider today's matter closed. Xiao Shixiong will handle the follow-up with you. Furthermore, from now on, you are one of my people. If anyone gives you trouble in the future, call Bei Kuang. I will handle it."

Wang Shicheng was instantly overjoyed, nodding his head again and again.
