After mocking them, Wang Chen walked straight into the small courtyard.
His underling, Man Hu, followed close behind, looking both pleased and conflicted.
"Boss."
He had only just called out when Wang Chen waved a hand, stopping him from continuing.
Wang Chen knew perfectly well what this fellow wanted to say.
After all, Man Hu had heard the Protector's threat loud and clear earlier.
Wang Chen had never revealed his exact cultivation, no matter how domineering he appeared now.
But as the old saying went, even a fierce tiger could not withstand a pack of wolves.

Combined with their other members, Man Hu was truly worried that Wang Chen might not be able to defeat them.
He himself did not care, but if something happened to his boss, Wang Chen, because of this, Man Hu would never forgive himself.
Wang Chen had no such concerns whatsoever.

Man Hu nodded
