Ma Hongjun Calls Shi Hao Dad for Tang San, the Hypocrite Tang San Is Truly Embarrassing (Please Bookmark)

Tang San had already called out, but Shi Hao was still not satisfied.

With a faint smile, he tugged Tang San's hair and taunted him like a cat playing with a mouse. "Keep calling. Say, 'Shi Hao Dad, I was wrong.'"

To Shi Hao, those words were merely a game, but to Tang San, they were a humiliation that cut like a blade.

Tang San's face turned from red to purple as anger surged through his heart like a tide...

"Shi Hao Dad, I was wrong..."

Tang San silently repeated those seven words in his heart, yet he could not bring himself to say them aloud. He knew what they meant—they meant acknowledging a thief as his father.

His gaze flashed with stubbornness and defiance. Although Shi Hao had restrained his body, his spirit had not yielded.

Watching from the side, Ma Hongjun grew anxious. He could not help saying, "Third Brother, don't be afraid. How about I call out for you? As long as we can leave here alive, that's enough."

Although Ma Hongjun was fat, he was a hot-blooded man. He said it deliberately only to help Tang San calm down and think of another solution.

He knew that Tang San often unleashed unimaginable power in moments of crisis and easily turned danger into safety...

Yet what Ma Hongjun had not expected was that a trace of joy actually appeared on Tang San's face after hearing those words.

As if he had grasped a lifeline, he took several quick breaths and hurriedly asked Shi Hao, "Can my brother call out in my place? I'll have him apologize to you for me. Please... please, Shi Hao. You've already taken that divine artifact, the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor. I won't pursue the matter any further. The reason I, Tang San, hunted down the Spirit Hall Spirit Master was because of what happened to my mother. I hope you can understand me. Even if we stand on different sides, I still hope that after I recover, we can have another fair and proper duel..."

Tang San's left leg still throbbed with agony. Every word he spoke pulled at his wound, yet the corners of his mouth twitched as he forcibly endured all the pain.

It had to be said that Tang San was quite calculating. At critical moments, he knew how to bow his head and how to provoke others. For his own benefit, for the sake of surviving, he was even willing to shift the pain onto his companion.

Shi Hao's expression changed as well. He had not expected Tang San to be so decisive that he would actually let his own brother suffer humiliation in his place.

Ma Hongjun was even more embarrassed. Tang San's words stunned him too. He had only casually said it, yet Tang San actually wanted him to call someone else Dad.

Shi Hao released his grip, and Tang San fell to the ground. Yet Tang San had no time to care about his injuries. He only watched Shi Hao nervously, waiting for his answer.

Ma Hongjun also lay sprawled nearby, his hands clenched tightly as his body trembled slightly. It was impossible to tell whether it was from anger or fear...

Shi Hao looked at the two of them, and an evil smile appeared on his lips.

His figure moved with lightning speed. In a flash, he snatched the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt from Tang San's waist.

That belt was extraordinarily important to Tang San. All the powerful hidden weapons and treasures he had forged over the years were stored within that soul tool belt.

Taking away his Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt was practically taking his life.

Sure enough, when Tang San saw that Shi Hao had taken his Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt, along with all the treasures he had accumulated during this trip to Tiangeng City and before, he immediately broke down.

"No..."

Tang San shouted loudly, his voice filled with endless grief, rage, and unwillingness. He bared his teeth like a wounded beast. His long blue hair was utterly disheveled, whipping wildly in the wind like the chaos in his heart. His once-handsome face twisted into a mask of pain, pale and covered in cold sweat. He looked especially miserable.

However, no matter how he shouted or struggled, it was futile. All his hidden weapons were gone, and he was badly injured.

At that moment, Tang San was like a lion without claws. He could not even attempt a sneak attack. His hands clenched into fists before weakly loosening again. He hated, he raged, he grieved, but more than anything, he felt helpless.

Ma Hongjun watched from the side, his heart twisting like a knife. He could not help clenching his fists, his teeth grinding together.

That was right. He was deeply conflicted. He resented Tang San for disregarding his feelings earlier and making him call Shi Hao Dad, yet he also felt sorry for Tang San's situation.

Shi Hao looked at the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night belt he had seized and smiled faintly before turning to Ma Hongjun. "All right, Ma Hongjun. Since your brother Tang San is in such a miserable state, you can call out for him."

Ma Hongjun lay on the ground, and his fat body could not help trembling. His expression looked as though he had just swallowed a bitter melon.

Moonlight fell over his bulky figure, casting him in a hazy glow, but it could not conceal the difficulty in his heart.

Tang San, meanwhile, watched him nervously, his eyes carrying a firm message: if you don't call out, then I'll have to.

Ma Hongjun knew how strong Tang San's pride was. He understood how devastating it would be to Tang San if those words were spoken aloud.

Gritting his teeth, Ma Hongjun struggled inwardly. He thought of how Tang San might become a god in the future, becoming an existence above all others. So he went all out. Looking at Tang San, he said, "Third Brother, I'll call someone else Dad for you this time. When you become a god in the future, don't forget me."

Tang San looked at Ma Hongjun, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He naturally knew what this call would mean to Ma Hongjun, and he could not help feeling somewhat guilty. But he knew even more clearly that, in the current situation, he had no other choice.

He hurriedly promised, "Of course, of course. If I, Tang San, become a god in the future, Fatty, I'll give you whatever you want."

As he said this, an imperceptible coldness flashed through Tang San's eyes. In truth, he was not all that grateful to Ma Hongjun. He felt that this was simply what Ma Hongjun should do for him, and he had never truly intended to repay him. He had never been someone who repaid kindness.

But he knew that such a promise would make Ma Hongjun willingly speak those humiliating words for him.

Ma Hongjun did not see the hypocrisy in Tang San's heart. He took a deep breath, then shouted, "Shi Hao Dad, I was wrong!"

The shout echoed through the silent midnight street, as though the entire world had fallen into dead silence.

After Ma Hongjun finished shouting, his face turned utterly pale, as if all his dignity had been stripped away in that instant.

Hearing with his own ears that Ma Hongjun had called out those humiliating words for him, a relieved expression finally appeared on Tang San's miserable face.

However, Ma Hongjun would never have imagined that even after calling Shi Hao Dad for Tang San, he still would not change the fate of his beloved Bai Chenxiang dying of old age on the Douluo Continent in the future...

Perhaps only then would he understand that Tang San was a hypocrite through and through. Unfortunately, he still did not know that now...

Hearing Ma Hongjun's humiliated shout, Shi Hao stood gracefully in the darkness, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Tang San, you got lucky this time. Someone called me Dad for you. But if you fall into my hands again next time, calling me Dad won't be enough. I'll want to drink rabbit milk too. Figure it out yourself."

As he spoke, he stored the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor inside the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night. Then, carrying all the spoils from Tang San's trip, he transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished at the end of the silent midnight street.

Shi Hao had already left, leaving only Tang San and Ma Hongjun facing each other. In the silence of midnight, only their breathing rose and fell.

Tang San froze for a moment, lowered his head in thought, and muttered, "Drink rabbit milk... what does that mean?" A puzzled expression appeared on his face. Clearly, he did not understand the meaning behind Shi Hao's parting words.

The humiliated Ma Hongjun stood nearby. Watching Tang San's relieved expression, he felt somewhat upset.

He could not help speaking again, his voice carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and concern. "Third Brother, if you become a god in the future, don't forget the humiliation your brother suffered for you today."

Hearing this, Tang San glanced at Ma Hongjun and waved his hand carelessly. "Don't worry, Fatty." There was little emotion in his voice, as though the matter was not important to him at all. Then he pointed at his leg. "Come help me up first, Fatty."

Ma Hongjun froze. He had not expected Tang San to react so coldly to his words. He gritted his teeth, but in the end, he still chose to obey.

He walked over to Tang San and carefully helped up the miserable-looking Tang San.

The two figures limped through the darkness. Tang San's left leg was injured, and every step was agonizing, but compared to the pain in his leg, the pain in his heart was worse.

"I lost the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor and all the Tang Sect hidden weapons and blueprints. How am I supposed to explain this to Senior Lou Gao and Elder Titan when I return? And there's also the matter of me being beaten into calling someone else Dad. Although Fatty called out in the end, if Boss Dai, Oscar, and Rongrong find out, they'll surely blame me for my failure. Sigh..."

Thinking of this, Tang San could not help feeling a headache coming on. He lowered his head and thought for a while before finally placing all the blame on that mysterious woman who had suddenly descended from the sky and ruined all his plans.
