What hypocrisy?
It doesn't exist!
Now that faces are torn, there's no point in wasting more words.
"Chen Yu!"
Clenching his fists, the Crocodile let out a low growl.
"Grandpa is here~"
Hearing the call, Chen Yu placed one hand on his hip, shaking his head and swaying his body with an infuriating swagger.
"You..."
No longer able to bear the humiliation, the Crocodile balled his fist and swung it at Chen Yu. Chen Yu twisted his waist, dodged the punch, and stuck his tongue out at the Crocodile.
"Hey, missed!"
The Crocodile clenched his fists and swung them wildly. Chen Yu didn't even move his feet. Twisting his body, he was like a ballet dancer, dodging all of the Crocodile's blows.
"Can't hit me, can't hit me, nyah nyah nyah nyah~"
Chen Yu continuously made faces. The Crocodile opposite him visibly flushed with anger, his thick, leathery face turning a shade of purple.
"I'm going to kill you!"
"What are you all standing around for? Get him!"
The Crocodile turned and roared.
Seeing his followers preparing to attack, Chen Yu instinctively took a step back, shrinking his neck in mock surprise.
"Well, well, you ungentlemanly rogue, calling for backup?!" Chen Yu pointed at the Crocodile and shouted, "Do you think you're the only one who can call people? Can't I?!"
"If you have the guts, call your people and see!"
"Ah!"
Chen Yu cried out and raised his hand.
"You said it~"
"I said it!" The Crocodile was furious at this moment. "I must kill you today, no matter who you are. If I don't kill you..."
"I'll be your dad from now on!"
Chen Yu added smoothly.
"Fine!" The Crocodile readily agreed, which stunned Chen Yu. He doubled over with laughter. "Fine, oh my god, you actually agree! Are you an idiot? You're truly just a complete fool. Wait, watch your dad call for help."
With that, Chen Yu craned his neck and yelled.
"Loni!!!! Someone's causing trouble at your guild entrance!!!"
Huh?!
Hearing Chen Yu's shout, the Crocodile was completely dumbfounded.
"Hey, you..."
He raised his hand, trying to stop Chen Yu. Chen Yu stretched his neck and asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say I could call anyone?"
"You..."
The Crocodile was so choked up he couldn't speak for a long time.
This...
Isn't this cheating?
We agreed to a duel. We'd just call our respective followers and fight. Why are you bringing in a third party? He dared to confront Chen Yu, but he certainly didn't dare to confront the Elton family.
"We can't..."
Before the Crocodile could finish speaking, a voice echoed from the treasure appraisal room.
"Who dares to cause trouble at my doorstep!!!"
Immediately, Loni rushed out in a flurry, followed by over a dozen burly men, led by the Golden and Silver Lions, all at the Golden Realm.
Loni, running at the forefront, rolled up her sleeves.
When she saw Chen Yu and the Crocodile, even though she hadn't been involved, it seemed she understood everything.
She glanced slightly.
Loni fist-bumped Chen Yu but didn't say much else, glaring at the Crocodile for his indiscriminate yelling.
"You're the one causing trouble at my doorstep!"
"Dare to lay a hand on someone in front of our Elton Guild? Are you tired of living?" Loni, hands on her hips, blocked Chen Yu, her almond eyes wide. Then, she slightly turned her head, a hint of disdain in her expression, and softly asked Chen Yu, "Are you hurt?"
"Him?"
Chen Yu scoffed.
"Let him train for another eighty years, and he still wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on my leg. Look at him all shriveled up. Can he even reach my knee when he jumps?"
Loni was surprised.
How could he say that?
The Crocodile was indeed a bit short, but surely not so short that he couldn't reach Chen Yu's knee when jumping.
"Come on, hit me~" Chen Yu, hiding behind Loni, started taunting again. "You said you'd kill me, didn't you? If you don't, I'll be your dad!"
"You!"
Hearing this, the Crocodile's blood surged. He clenched his fists and glared at Loni.
"Miss Loni, you see..."
How annoying!
Even Loni, hearing Chen Yu's words and seeing his irritating demeanor, felt like giving him a couple of punches. But then again, he had helped her out before.
"What do you want me to see?" Loni glared.
"Look, he's the one provoking me!" The Crocodile raised his hand. At that moment, Chen Yu was making faces at him and sticking out his tongue, "Nyah nyah nyah"ing non-stop.
At this point, even Loni couldn't pretend not to see.
It was too obvious.
Chen Yu's neck was practically on her shoulder, and the constant "nyah nyah nyah" was starting to annoy her.
She reached out and grabbed Chen Yu's face.
Pushing him behind her, Loni let out a sigh.
"I don't see any provoking actions from Young Master Chen. On the other hand, you... I just saw clearly that you were about to commit assault at my guild entrance."
With words like these, it was clear to everyone that Loni was deliberately protecting Chen Yu.
"Heh, so this is how the Elton Guild operates..." The Crocodile sneered. Loni's expression immediately soured. "What about my guild? Speak your mind!"
"You know what I mean!"
The Crocodile's face was full of mockery.
Loni was certainly not one to indulge bad behavior. She glanced at the bunny girl and, in front of the Crocodile, called out.
"Bunny, find out for me, which family this Crocodile-head belongs to!"
Upon hearing this, the Crocodile's face changed instantly.
A threat!
This was clearly a threat.
"You..." The Crocodile's lips moved, but he couldn't speak for a long time. Loni, not backing down an inch, put her hands on her hips and glared. "What, you're not convinced?"
"Stop pretending, my dear son~"
Chen Yu's low whisper drifted out again. He draped an arm over Loni's shoulder.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Chen Yu, we're not done yet!" The Crocodile raised his hand and glared. Chen Yu stretched his neck, shaking his head. "If you're not convinced, come hit me, nyah nyah nyah nyah~"
Seeing this, the Crocodile felt a dull ache in his chest.
Yet—
Loni stood beside Chen Yu, leaving him no way to act.
"Let's go!"
With a roar, the Crocodile led his men away. As they left, Chen Yu kept sticking out his tongue at him. Hei Dou, perched on his shoulder, also stuck out its butt, patting it with its little paws, and made a funny face.
Only after the Crocodile and his group had departed did Loni say in exasperation.
"Alright!"
She chided him lightly, then glanced at the arm on her shoulder.
"Take it off."
Chen Yu, who was comfortably leaning, shivered and removed his arm. Loni then blew a strand of hair from her forehead.
"You and your pet are exactly the same. I'm telling you, we're even now." Loni glared. "I don't owe you anything."
Chen Yu raised his hand and tapped his chest twice with a clenched fist.
"It's all here~"
Without another word, Chen Yu turned and walked towards the city gates, leaving Loni with a twitching mouth as she watched Chen Yu's swaggering back and muttered.
"He's got some serious issues!"
Then, she mimicked Chen Yu's earlier action, tapping her chest. Feeling the elasticity in her chest, Loni's pretty face immediately flushed red.
"Pah!"
"You perverted leader!"
