1066: Threat! (1)

Threat! (1)

Wang Teng felt the sarcasm in Jiang Weisheng's tone. His expression suddenly turned strange.2

Why did he smell vinegar in the air?

Was Jiang Weisheng jealous of him?

"Brother Weisheng, you're thinking too highly of me. I was just lucky. I don't know how the stairs managed to break their own record when I was climbing. I feel burdened that everyone knows this too," Wang Teng said sadly.

Jiang Weisheng's expression froze.

Listen, listen, is this what you should be saying?

Didn't know how the record was broken?

If you climbed an ordinary stone staircase, can you break the record?

This fellow was definitely boasting.

Jiang Hanfeng and Jiang Chenxi were caught between laughter and tears. They felt that Wang Teng was a little shameless. He didn't even blush when he said this.

"Baron Wang Teng is a rare talent," Jiang Chenxi said.

"I'm just joking. Please don't take it for real," Wang Teng replied with a smile.

Jiang Hanfeng and the others laughed.

Wang Teng didn't stay too long with the Jiang family. He had many other guests to attend to.

He went around and interacted with everyone he should. It was a good thing that martial warriors had good alcohol tolerance. If not, he would be drunk after attending to all the guests.

Besides the nobles, the grandmasters from the Secondary Career Alliance were important guests too. They came together to congratulate him. Wang Teng accepted their favor.

After offering toasts to everyone, Wang Teng returned to his seat.

However, someone was unhappy.

The Parkers were indignant. This was too much. Wang Teng didn't bother about them at all.

He offered a toast to everyone but them.

This was too much!

The young people wanted to create a scene, but they were stopped. The Furious Flaming Universe Lord glanced at Valteru, who stood up and said, "Baron Wang Teng!"

Everyone was stunned. They shifted their gaze over with one thought in their mind.

"It's here!"

They didn't know what Valteru wanted to do, but everyone knew the Parkers didn't have good intentions. If the exchange of words with Wang Teng was an appetizer, the main dish was about to be served.

The other three grand duke families looked over too. They didn't make any moves. They wanted to see what the Parkers wanted to do first.

"May I know what you want?" Wang Teng squinted and asked calmly.

"I heard that you gained a divine flame in Flaming River World?" Valteru said.

Divine flame?!

Everyone was flabbergasted. They looked in Wang Teng's direction.

Baron Wang Teng had a divine flame?

And he got it from Flaming River World!

They knew about Flaming River World. Wang Teng had passed the Noble Family Consultation Chamber's trial there to get the baron title.

This meant that the baron title wasn't the only thing Wang Teng won from Flaming River World's trial.

A divine flame!

This was a rare opportunity! Even the nobles present couldn't help but envy him. The three grand duke families also turned and looked at Wang Teng with surprise and astonishment.

The grandmasters from the Secondary Career Alliance had the same reaction. They were flabbergasted and couldn't hide their amazement.

"I remember that Grandmaster Wang Teng already has a divine flame, right?" Grandmaster Harol swallowed her saliva and asked through voice transmission after some hesitation.

"He has two now!" Grandmaster Alfred rubbed his forehead and said enviously.

"He gained another divine flame!" Grandmaster Hua Yuan was jealous too. He hit his chest, wishing he could snatch it from Wang Teng!

"Cough, calm down. We must keep our conscience. We mustn't get blinded by the divine flame," Grandmaster Alfred hurriedly reminded them through voice transmission.

"I know. I'm just envious!" Grandmaster Hua Yuan gave a bitter smile.

The other grandmasters felt the same way. To them, the attractiveness of a divine flame was the same as a rare and precious treasure.

"Don't even think about it. Anyone who managed to get a divine flame is someone with great affinity. Think about those people who tried to subdue divine flames in the past. Those without the ability to do so got devoured instead. Not even their bones were left." Grandmaster Mo De scoffed.

The grandmasters shuddered in fear.

Divine flames were rare and subduing them was even harder. One could forget about it if one didn't have the ability.

…

At this moment, everyone finally understood the Parkers' motive. No one cared about divine flames more than them. With their special physique, they would be able to release greater power if they had a divine flame.

Everyone started looking at Wang Teng differently. Their eyes were no longer filled with envy. Instead, they were sympathizing with him.

He might not be able to keep his divine flame since the Parkers had laid their eyes on it.

Situ Wan'er frowned and said using voice transmission, "The divine flame! Looks like Baron Wang Teng is in trouble."

"Indeed." Situ Nan nodded in agreement.

No one could stop the Parkers from hunting for divine flames. They would go crazy for it.

The three grand dukes and the grandmasters from the Secondary Career Alliance frowned. They understood how troublesome this issue was.

"Hmph~"

At this moment, a snort came from Wang Teng's mouth.

Everyone was staggered.

How could he laugh in this situation?
