Under everyone's watchful eyes, Huang Xiaochen suddenly burst out laughing.
Laughing?
Wasn't that the wrong reaction?
Was Huang Xiaochen plotting something?
Everyone watching was momentarily baffled.
As far as they knew, Huang Xiaochen should have flown into a rage.
Yet the scene they had imagined never came to pass.
An imperceptible glint flashed in Chen Wen's eyes.
Now this is interesting.
He could sense the fury in Huang Xiaochen's heart and the sudden surge of power, but in that very instant, Huang Xiaochen forcibly suppressed it.
Loud laughter took its place.
He was venting his anger through laughter.
This was no ordinary man. Chen Wen was absolutely certain of that.
Zhuge Qiyue also gave Huang Xiaochen an incredulous look.
Clearly, this side of Huang Xiaochen felt somewhat unfamiliar to her.
No...
Could this be the real Huang Xiaochen?
It was just that, all this time, no one had dared provoke him to his face.
So people had only ever seen his arrogance, while his capacity for restraint remained unknown.
That must be it.
If Huang Xiaochen possessed only brute force and no resilience, he could never have achieved what he had today.
For a moment, Zhuge Qiyue saw Huang Xiaochen in a different light.
The leaders of the various factions on the raised platform also witnessed the scene.
Unusual gleams flashed in many eyes, while quite a few people nodded almost imperceptibly.
Dongfang Chuge, in particular, could not help giving Huang Xiaochen another look.
Clearly, to people like them, who had lived through so very much,
this quality of Huang Xiaochen's was an outstanding one.
Their impressions of him improved considerably.
After an indeterminate time, Huang Xiaochen reined in his smile. "Who knows how many years it's been? You're the first person to dare speak to me like that."
