"Crack!"
In the great hall of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, the furious Star Luo Emperor smashed his beloved crystal goblet to pieces.
Even that failed to quell his anger. He pointed a trembling hand at Dai Weisi, who remained on his knees, and roared, "Unfilial son!"
"Who told you to lay a hand on Zhu Zhuyun?"
"Huh?"
Faced with the Star Luo Emperor's interrogation, Dai Weisi shrank back in fear like a startled quail.
"F-Father, I only saw how arrogant the Netherworld Clan had become and wanted to take them down a peg!"
Dai Weisi defended himself in a trembling voice.
"Take them down a peg?"
"You've fucking made me laugh."
"Ha ha ha!"
The Star Luo Emperor planted his hands on his hips and threw back his head in laughter.
Dai Weisi grew even more afraid.
He could tell that the Star Luo Emperor was laughing from sheer fury...
Sure enough.
After a moment, the laughter gradually subsided, and the Star Luo Emperor said coldly, "If I could put them in their place, I would have acted long ago. Why would I need you?"
"Don't you know I've been secretly gathering strength to deal the Netherworld Clan a fatal blow? And now your actions have beaten the grass and startled the snake."
"With their guard up, it'll be difficult for me to crush them with a thunderbolt strike."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became.
Unable to contain his fury, the Star Luo Emperor strode forward and kicked Dai Weisi to the ground. "You useless piece of trash! It would have been something if you'd succeeded. At least we would have had another bargaining chip against the Netherworld Grand Duke."
"What a pity..."
Dai Weisi rolled over and knelt before the Star Luo Emperor again, kowtowing repeatedly.
