Once something sparked public outrage, calming it down was no easy task.

The airport employee from earlier seemed to have realized what awaited her, and her entire face twisted into a hideous expression.

"You uncivilized people from the Xia Kingdom, making such a fuss over a tiny little thing."

"Look at the Americans. Have they said a single word this whole time?"

"People like you deserve nothing better than standing in line."

Smack.

A sudden slap landed hard across the employee's face. Who else could have delivered it but Zhang Hongxing?

Even though the employee before him was a woman, he hit her all the same.

He had never imagined anyone could worship foreign countries and despise their own to this extent.

The employee struggled up from the floor and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. Her already twisted face became even more frightening.

"I'll fucking tear you apart, you coward who hits women! Why does the Xia Kingdom keep producing men like you?"

Even now, she kept insulting the Xia Kingdom.

She lived in the Xia Kingdom herself, yet acted as though she hated its people to the core. Who knew what had made her this way, or how someone like her had become an employee here?

Smack, smack, smack...

Zhang Hongxing grabbed her collar with one hand and kept slapping her face with the other. He did not use much force, just enough for her to feel the pain.

Some people felt sorry for her, but then they remembered her expression and what she had said.

Every one of them inwardly cheered.

Quite a few even imagined themselves in his place, delivering those slaps.

There was no reasoning with someone like this. Only this could vent the anger in their hearts.

Whether the woman would finally see the error of her ways was up to heaven.

At any rate, no one present held out much hope.

Airport security finally arrived, and Zhang Hongxing took the opportunity to stop.

The situation was not complicated. Questioning a few witnesses was enough to establish what had happened. In the end, Zhang Hongxing and the two foreigners were taken to the airport police office.

Of course, this was merely a formality to calm the disturbance more quickly.

Although the two foreigners were in the wrong, their actions did not warrant detention. As for the employee, publicly slandering her own country and compatriots naturally meant dismissal.

Even that was letting her off lightly.

As for Zhang Hongxing, he had hit someone in front of so many people, so they could hardly just let him go. Even though most of the security personnel privately sided with him, they could not simply end things there.

In the end, Zhang Hongxing made a show of expressing the proper attitude, and the matter was settled.

He even received special boarding treatment because of it.

When he reached his seat on the plane, Zhang Hongxing was surprised to discover that the two foreigners were sitting in the same row.

Neither looked pleased to see him.

One of them, a foreigner wearing a cap with thick, muscular arms, glared at him. When Zhang Hongxing ignored him, he raised his middle finger at him.

Then came a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

When the flight attendants arrived, their expressions were quite a sight. The foreigner was now kneeling in the aisle, while Zhang Hongxing held his middle finger bent back.

"Sir, please let Jones go. He was only joking."

The other foreigner kept explaining to Zhang Hongxing, speaking the language of the Xia Kingdom fluently.

Since the other man had backed down, Zhang Hongxing did not continue. He loosened his grip and released Jones. But once free, Jones did not stop. Instead, he seized the opportunity to swing a fist straight at Zhang Hongxing's head.

Had that punch struck an ordinary person's head, it might have killed them on the spot.

But his opponent was Zhang Hongxing.

He simply reached out, caught Jones's fist, and applied pressure, forcing him to his knees again.

His posture was exactly the same as before.

"Hahaha..."

Laughter filled the cabin, and some people even clapped discreetly.

The flight attendants did not dare laugh while on duty, but their faces turned red from holding it in.

"Dear passengers, the aircraft will be taking off shortly. Please fasten your seat belts and switch your phones to airplane mode."

The announcement that the plane was about to take off prompted Zhang Hongxing to release Jones again.

He did not want this incident to delay takeoff. Having been defeated twice in a row, Jones stopped asking for trouble. To keep them from causing another disturbance, the flight attendants even upgraded Zhang Hongxing to an unoccupied luxury cabin free of charge.

Once in the luxury cabin, Zhang Hongxing closed his eyes and rested.

For the rest of the journey, no one disturbed him again.

But when they got off the plane, Jones still made sure to throw him a provocative gesture from a safe distance.

It was such an obvious display of cowardice.

Zhang Hongxing saw right through it and simply let him be.

As the capital of the Xia Kingdom, Capital City was undeniably prosperous.

Towering buildings, bustling traffic, and palaces and gardens steeped in history filled the city. Everyone who came to Capital City would visit the palace of the previous dynasty.

Countless historical dramas had also been filmed in that palace.

Zhang Hongxing had never been to Capital City before, so he was unfamiliar with the place. Since he had come to investigate whether his son-in-law was abusing his daughter, he could hardly contact her directly.

After considering his options, he could only call Lin Kui again, far away in Xinzhou.

"Senior, why did you go to Capital City? Even if you were going, you should have told me beforehand. Now you're asking me to find someone to help at such short notice, and in a place like Capital City, too. How am I supposed to..."

Lin Kui sounded rather cheerful on the other end of the phone. Ever since he had given his grandfather the Life-Extending Vitality Pill, the old man's health had improved by the day. Today, he had even performed a set of Military Body Fist exercises in the courtyard.

As his grandfather's health improved, Lin Kui's spirits naturally rose along with it.

And once he was in a good mood, he unwittingly became more talkative.

"All right, stop right there. Just tell me whether you can find someone."

Unable to listen any longer, Zhang Hongxing nearly hung up. Had he known Lin Kui was such a chatterbox, he might never have contacted him.

"Yes, of course I can. If it's your request, Senior, I'll make it happen even if I can't."

"How soon can you get someone here?"

"Within an hour. Send me your address first, Senior, and I'll have him come find you."

Screech...

A red supercar swung its rear around and stopped in front of Zhang Hongxing. Then a fair-faced young man wearing sunglasses stepped out.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. My name is Chu Yunxuan. Lin Kui sent me."

"Did Lin Kui explain everything to you?"

Zhang Hongxing eyed Chu Yunxuan doubtfully. The way this young man had made his entrance gave him a rather unreliable impression.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. He explained everything about your situation, and I've prepared what you wanted. Get in. I'll take you there now."

"All right."

Still doubtful, Zhang Hongxing got into the car. Then the red supercar shot off with a whoosh.
