#558 - Chapter 558 Power and Killing Intent
“Ah-choo!”
Wu Wei, riding in a luxury car in the real world for the first time, couldn't help but sneeze.
Having felt listless ever since leaving the Lord Era, he aimlessly fiddled around in the extended limousine while asking the driver and bodyguard in the front seats.
“Hey, I’ve seen in old movies and TV shows that these luxury cars usually have hidden liquor or contraband, right?”
“Those celebrities and politicians love to do things in these kinds of cars.”
“But why can't I find any of that stuff in this car?”
Hearing Wu Wei's boorish and bizarre question, the driver, who was under the command of the First Prince, Shi Renjun, remained silent.
However, the bodyguard in the passenger seat turned his head, glanced at Wu Wei, and said.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Wu Wei, but since this car is used for guests, it doesn’t have those kinds of items.”
“Oh, I see,” Wu Wei said, somewhat disappointed. “I was hoping to experience it, but it looks like I won’t get the chance.”
“Oh, right, you two are the prince’s bodyguards. How much do you earn each month? Is it hard work? Do you guys ever take side jobs?”
Seeing Wu Wei trying to make conversation out of nothing, Prince Shi Renjun's bodyguard decisively made the only correct decision.
Click!
The bodyguard directly raised the partition between them, completely blocking out Wu Wei's voice.
“.......”
Seeing that he was being ignored, Wu Wei felt a little helpless.
But this was normal.
After all...
He was currently on his way to the First Prince Shi Renjun's palace in the real world.
After getting into the car, Wu Wei realized for the first time that the royal family could restrict traffic on roads.
On the vast highway, only Wu Wei's car was speeding along.
This scene couldn't help but make Wu Wei sigh inwardly.
“Is this the embodiment of power?”
However, when he said this, Wu Wei revealed a cold smile.
Because before he returned to the real world, he had already used Abyssal Infusion on himself, injecting the mindset of an Abyssal Overlord into his brain.
So, at this moment, he, like the First Prince Shi Renjun, was extremely eager to meet the other!
——————————————
“Knock, knock, knock!”
With three knocks, Shi Renjun’s butler said to Shi Renjun inside the room.
“Your Highness.”
“Your guest has arrived.”
The moment he said this, the old but meticulous butler turned around and glanced at Wu Wei behind him.
Then, he frowned and shook his head, secretly lamenting that His Highness had changed his tastes.
There was no helping it, the men who had been able to come to Prince Shi Renjun's palace before were basically all absolute beauties.
Wu Wei's appearance among this group couldn't be said to be the worst, but it could at least be considered at the bottom...
Seeing the impolite expression on the butler's face in front of him, Wu Wei, who guessed what he was thinking, didn't hold back and directly raised his middle finger at the butler.
“I’m not that kind of person!” Wu Wei said indignantly.
The old butler rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
Just then, a rough male voice came from inside the room.
“Let him in.”
“Click!”
Since His Highness had spoken, the butler opened the door and let Wu Wei in.
As soon as Wu Wei walked in, he immediately noticed that the First Prince Shi Renjun, whom he had met before, was reading a book inside the room.
It had to be said that this prince, benefiting from the royal bloodline, had an absolutely outstanding appearance.
Under the golden decor, Shi Renjun indeed had the air of a handsome man.
However, Wu Wei didn't care at all.
Because he, along with the entire magnificent room, was out of place.
So, without the other party's instructions, he directly plopped down on the sofa opposite the prince.
“....”
The prince flipped through the book in his hand, glanced at Wu Wei, and said nothing.
And Wu Wei, likewise, remained silent.
Both sides were using their own methods to re-examine and observe the other.
However, after Prince Shi Renjun flipped through several pages of the book and nearly an hour had passed, Wu Wei couldn't help but lose his patience.
Of course, he still didn't speak.
He stood up and rummaged through the prince's room, eventually successfully finding a bottle of wine in the nearby liquor cabinet that looked like the most expensive one in the pile.
Then, he took the wine, grabbed two newly found glasses, and plopped back down in his previous seat.
Swish.
Wu Wei filled the two glasses, pushing one of them in front of Prince Shi Renjun.
Although Shi Renjun, the high and mighty prince, hadn't said a word from beginning to end, deliberately putting on a profound appearance, he still didn't refuse the glass of wine.
He took the glass, drank it all in one gulp, and then placed the empty glass back on the table.
Wu Wei, however, was different.
He imitated Prince Shi Renjun, drinking the wine in his glass in one gulp.
But the poor Wu Wei forgot one thing.
That was, he was currently in the real world.
In the real world, his alcohol tolerance wasn't as strong as it was in the Lord Era. In fact, Wu Wei had never drunk real wine in the real world.
And so....
“Pfft!”
“Ugh, blech!”
As a violent burning sensation appeared, Wu Wei sprayed a mouthful of wine towards the opposite side.
The prince Shi Renjun, who was originally holding the book, still pretending to be profound, and preparing to use this method to put pressure on Wu Wei, was directly stunned.
Because in an unprepared state, the poor prince was directly sprayed in the face.
And the book in his hand was soaked for the most part.
“You...”
“You damned bastard!”
The furious Prince Shi Renjun could no longer hold back.
He flung the book, which he had been so sparing with words about just now, to the side, and then said fiercely to Wu Wei.
“Do you want to die?”
“Are you doing this on purpose!”
Wu Wei, sitting opposite him, shrugged his shoulders very innocently.
“I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
“I really didn’t expect this wine to be so hard to drink.”
“Besides, I’ve been thirsty the whole way here, okay?”
“After all, your driver didn’t even prepare a glass of water for me on the way here!”
Looking at Wu Wei's innocent face, Prince Shi Renjun helplessly covered his forehead.
The nasty wine he spoke of cost about ten million resource points per glass, and there's only one bottle—no, half a bottle—left in the world...
But that was no longer important.
What was important was that Prince Shi Renjun had never imagined that he would initiate the conversation under such circumstances.
Thinking of this, Prince Shi Renjun suddenly felt that this brat in front of him seemed to be doing it on purpose!
“Sigh...”
Feeling that his previous attempt to put pressure on the other party by feigning profundity had completely failed, the First Prince Shi Renjun sighed helplessly.
He sat back down and said to Wu Wei.
“Speak.”
“Oh? Speak? Your Highness, what do you want me to say?” Wu Wei smiled, asking knowingly.
“Of course, I want you to tell me, what have you been doing all this time!”
Prince Shi Renjun raised his head, his eyes full of killing intent.
“Why didn’t you complete the task I assigned you?”
