The Favored Son of Heaven-Chapter 11 - Never Insult Another's Family!

Chapter 11: Never Insult Another’s Family!

Translator: Strivon Editor: Nora

Qin Fen arrived at the same small alley as yesterday. He looked at how peaceful it was, ultimately taking a deep breath and deciding to take a detour.

He hurried the entire way to construction site, where the buzzing activity had already died off. Qin Fen quickly ran toward the center of the site where a temporary white building was constructed.

“Manager. Yesterday, I….”

“Who are you?” In the past, there would be an old uncle by the side of the office table. Now it was a fair-skinned middle aged man whose aquiline nose carried a pair of gold glasses.

“I’m….” Qin Fen froze for a second, “I’m a part-time worker here.”

“Really?” The middle-aged man leaned back in his chair. He sized up Qin Fen with reproach and disdain, “How come I didn’t meet you yesterday? Oh…. You must have been the one who skipped work.”

“Yes.” Qin Fen responded with a serious nod, “Manager. Yesterday, I….”

“There’s nothing to say.” The middle aged man sitting in front of the dilapidated table pushed up the gold glasses atop his nose with a dark expression. He said in a very code tone, “I don’t want to hear your reason for skipping work. There isn’t a reason that can cover the fact that you skipped work yesterday. Therefore, you’re fired.”

“Fired….” Qin Fen felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water over his head to flow to his toes. There weren’t many people willing to do the heavy physical labor of construction work, so it was one of the highest paying labor jobs out there. He had fought hard for this job; he didn’t want to lose this job that was so hard to get.

“Manager, I will work for free this one time today. To make up for it, is that okay?” Qin Fen looked at the manager and his small beer belly with utter seriousness. This work and its income was one of his important economic pillars in attending university in the future.

“There’s no need.” The manager lifted his cup of tea, which had begun to foam a bit, as he slowly said, “One must have the correct attitude when acknowledging fault. If you’re sincere in your regret, then you can kneel on the ground and apologize to me. I’m a magnanimous man. I can still give you the job.”

The atmosphere of the room suddenly dropped below freezing. Qin Fen looked coldly at the man drinking tea. He really did need this job, but it didn’t mean that he would bend and scrape before the man and throw away his dignity.

“What’s wrong? Is this your sincerity?” He disdained to even glance at Qin Fen. He looked at the tea in his hand as he said, “It’s all this bastard’s Old Liu’s fault, accepting even trash like this. That’s why progress has been so slow, demoting me down to this wretched place to take over his work! You’re still here? Didn’t your mother teach you anything? Oh, you must not have a mom….”

Crack, crack …. The bones of Qin Fen’s hands rang out endlessly like the sounds of beans bursting. A chilling killing intent for battle flooded the entire room. Being fired and being insulted didn’t matter, but a person should never insult someone else’s mother!

The middle-aged man sitting in the chair gave a disdainful sidelong glance at Qin Fen. “What’s this? You want to fight? Just yourself?”

“Manager Zhang, we’re very sorry. Young people aren’t sensible these days. Please forgive him. Please….”

Two middle-aged construction workers came rushing in. They held Qin Fen’s arms tight from behind, dragging him out the room.

“Little Qin, what’s up with you today….” One of the middle-aged men who dragged Qin Fen out spoke with good intentions. “You can’t beat him! He’s a retired soldier from the military.”

“He insulted my mother.” Qin Fen stared coldly at the small white building, “Never insult another’s family….”

“You can’t beat him.” The other middle-aged man’s face carried grim wrinkles as well, “This man was injured on the battlefield, causing his strength to fall to be a mere two-star. But he came from the military. He’s learned many combat skills that civilians aren’t able to learn. You can’t beat him….”

“Why haven’t you left yet?” Manager Zhang walked out of the door, carrying the cup of tea. He looked at Qin Fen with disdain, “You’re angry? You don’t accept being fired?”

“You have the authority to fire me.” Qin Fen strove to suppress the fury in his heart, but that inexplicable excitement had completely transformed into greater fury and desire to fight, “But you should apologize to me for insulting my mother.”

Manager Zhang’s face of disdain suddenly turned sinister. His heart had already been vexed from getting a demotion instead of a promotion in the company. He barely vented some of his bad mood by firing this kid. He just cussed a few words at the kid, yet the kid dared to fight back?

“Apologize? Just for you?” Manager Zhang drank a gulp of tea. His eyes suddenly turned exceptionally callous, “Today I will teach you a lesson in place of your mom!”

The military. This was a place where normal people were made into all sorts of fighting machines. Though Manager Zhang had lost quite a bit of strength, he still retained his fighting nature gained from the military’s training. Viciousness. Ferocity. Ruthlessness! These were the imposing qualities that civilian martial artists lacked when fighting.

With the words still echoing in everyone’s ears, Manager Zhang extended his neck, suddenly lifting his head! He spread his hands slightly open as he lightly lifted his right leg and made an advancing step with his left leg. His entire body plunged toward Qin Fen as he threw himself over. In this instant, his slightly spread hands instantly turned into claws of a tiger, and a shake of his arms brought about a spiral gust of wind. He held one hand concealed behind his shoulder, waiting to be unleashed, while his other hand of a tiger’s claw came clawing at Qin Fen’s throat.

The Shaolin Tiger Claw Hand! A combat skill that only three-star warriors in the military were qualified to learn!

Veins exploded out on Manager Zhang’s neck, and the bones of his entire body creaked as they trembled. His roar was truly akin to a tiger setting forth.

Qin Fen took a step back while learning forward with his body. The bones of his back echoed with endless cracking sounds as he heaved his arm like heaving an axe to split the mountains. The beautiful arc followed his body, streaking out with explosiveness, smashing into Manager Zhang’s Tiger Claw.

Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Striking the Tiger’s Momentum!

Manager Zhang’s pupils contracted as his Tiger Claw unleashed with energy once more with a bone crackling ringing. The Tiger Claw and Qin Fen’s Striking the Tiger’s Momentum collided together.

The clash between fist and claw caused the crisp ringing of bones and joints to form into one continuous sound.

An achy feeling ran through Manager Zhang’s wrist. Manager Zhang had asked people about Qin Fen yesterday. He knew that this kid didn’t really have a good background. He had meant to vent the resentment in his heart by teaching the kid a lesson. There shouldn’t have been any consequences or troubles. He never thought this kid, who others described as honest and well-behaved, would fight this fiercely!

In the instant of Manager Zhang’s shock, Qin Fen’s body moved faster than he could think, sensing a gap. The cleaving hand’s wrist turned to grasp Manager Zhang’s wrist, suddenly pulling them together. At the same time, Qin Fen took half a step forward and suddenly rotated with his waist. The muscles of his back instantly turned as hard as steel as he fiercely rammed Manager Zhang in the chest.

Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Twisting Single Mountain Thrust!

Everyone stared stupefied. The Shaolin Arhat Fist was a fist form on the fitness exercise level, yet it actually beat down the military’s Shaolin Tiger Claw Hand! How was this possible? Someone who served in the military for so many years had actually been so cleanly defeated by this kid’s hands?

Manager Zhang tried to crawl up from the ground, and Qin Fen stared coldly at him. It was self-defense. Qin Fen wasn’t scared even if the situation was escalated to the police!
