Chapter 102: New Humanity Church

“I’m offering 400 million star coins, are you still going to follow me, pretty boy?” Hua Minglong continued to provoke.

Feng Mo just smiled slightly after hearing this, not panicking at all.

“Under federal law, if a citizen openly insults a noble in a public place, what punishment should he receive? This needs to be carefully considered. It seems like cutting off four fingers and exiling him to the Chaos Star Sea.”

“Mr. Hua seems to have not inherited the title yet, and I am the Earl of Yunshan Empire. Oh, yes, your family’s title will not be inherited by you, but by your outstanding brother, haha!”

Feng Mo’s words were really heartbreaking. Hua Minglong, as the second son of the Hua family, had been suppressed by his elder brother since childhood. All the honors, family resources, and education were given to his elder brother, and he, as a vassal since childhood, was he worse than anyone else? He thought he was not worse.

This was the first time that he was broken down by a pretty boy, but he had nothing to say. You can curse many things in your heart, but you can’t scold them with actual actions. Although the nobility is corrupt, it still represents the face of the federation for the time being. The nobility cannot be insulted in public.

Hua Minglong kept calling Feng Mo a pretty boy in public. This was not an slap in the face of Feng Mo, but an slap in the face of the Yunshan Empire and the entire Xinghai Human Federation.

If Feng Mo was willing to risk offending the Hua family and was determined to punish Hua Minglong in this matter, then this would be an ironclad case that no one could use to prove. It was inevitable that Hua Minglong would have his fingers cut off and be exiled.

At this moment, the entire auction venue fell silent from the moment Feng Mo mentioned the word Earl, and no one wanted to be dragged into the vortex of the struggle between the two forces.

Hua Minglong is now in a dilemma. He doesn’t want to lose face and apologize to Feng Mo, but he also doesn’t want to give up the bid for the T5 combat armor. He has too many enemies and people who hate him, and no T5 combat armor can soothe his sense of crisis.

“Young man, forgive others when you can. It was just a slip of the tongue. I didn’t mean to humiliate you. Just move on and continue bidding.”

An old voice came from Box No. 1. It was the old man who had just scolded Hua Jinxiu and Jin Qifeng.

“This old man is called Cheng Yingxiong, he is a thousand years old, a member of the empire, and has served as minister of many important departments. His disciples are all over the Huiyao Empire. He is not easy to deal with, but the Chu family is not afraid of any challenge!”

While Cheng Yingxiong was speaking, Chu Yunjian introduced Feng Mo, then took the megaphone in his left hand, held the Chu family emblem in his right hand, stood up, opened the door of the box, looked towards box number one and said loudly:

“Haha, Chu Yunjian swears here in the name of the Huiyao Chu family that Hua Minglong must receive the due punishment. Otherwise, it will be regarded as declaring war on the Huiyao Chu family!”

Chu Yunjian said this in a cold voice, which was extremely impolite. Everyone present thought that since the old man in box number one had spoken, Feng Mo and Chu Yunjian would take a step back and let the auction proceed normally. They didn’t expect Chu Yunjian to be so tough. Now things were difficult.

In the Huiyao Empire, no force dares to openly go to war with the Chu family. Today, Chu Yunjian held the Chu family emblem and swore in the name of the Chu family.

If the auction goes on like this, it will be a disgrace to the Chu family. The Chu family will inevitably fight to the end with the Hua family and the person in Box No. 1. Now it is the turn of the person in Box No. 1 to be in a difficult situation.

After a long while, a voice came from Box No. 1. “She is very courageous, worthy of being the daughter of a general. She is courageous and responsible. Good, good, good! The Chu family has a successor.”

Everyone present was a smart person. Stupid people won’t live long. They all heard that Cheng Yingxiong in Box No. 1 had surrendered. He didn’t dare to go to war with the Chu family, so he could only use this kind of praise to hint to Chu Yunjian to give him some respect for the sake of his thousand-year-old age.

Chu Yunjian also heard it, so he did not continue to argue, but bowed politely and said: “Thank you for the compliment, senior. Yunjian is unworthy of it.” After the matter came to an end, Chu Yunjian continued to say to Box 24:

“Hua Minglong, I will report this to the Xinghai Human Federation and the Huiyao Empire. You’d better go home and beg your brother. Otherwise, if you are really exiled to Chaos Xinghai with your hands cut off, don’t forget that this is the territory of that pretty boy you mentioned. By then, you will probably be living a life worse than death, and it will be difficult for you to die.”

“I’m sorry, due to some personal reasons, the auction progress has been delayed. The price just bid is invalid. This T5 combat armor will be re-bid at the reserve price!”

Chu Yunjian turned around and went back to Box No. 2. As soon as he entered the door, he quickly ran into Feng Mo’s arms, buried his little head directly in Feng Mo’s chest, and said in a buzzing voice:
“I was so scared just now. I have never been so excited since I was a child.”

Feng Mo gently stroked Chu Yunjian’s hair, his eyes full of love. This woman was indeed too good to him. She couldn’t bear to see him suffer any grievances. She confronted the imperial senators for him and forced the auction to be suspended. How could Feng Mo not be moved by such an action?

After the farce, the auction continued. Without the competition between Hua Minglong and Chu Yun, this set of T5 combat armor finally stopped at million star coins and was won by the mysterious VIP in box number nine.

After the auction, Feng Mo led the three women out of the venue. As for Hua Minglong, he had already left in a hurry when Chu Yunjian returned to box two. It seemed that he had gone back to the Hua family to seek help.

Now it is no longer a matter of considering whether or not to offend the Hua family. His woman is so strong. If Feng Mo becomes soft, it would be really embarrassing. By then, the news that the son-in-law of the Huiyao Chu family is a softie would probably spread throughout the federation.

As soon as the four of them returned to the manor, Chu Yunjian’s smart terminal kept ringing. After roughly browsing the contents, Chu Yunjian said to Feng Mo:

“Two pieces of news. First, we have found a nest of the New Humanity Church. It is located in a very remote area, on the northern edge of the Huiyao Galaxy. If you are interested, you can go with my second uncle tomorrow to destroy it.”

“The second piece of news is that the Hua family will make a formal visit in three days, probably because of Hua Minglong’s matter.”

Feng Mo nodded after hearing this. The first piece of news was good news. He couldn’t just be assassinated without any explanation. Moreover, just as Chu Yunjian finished speaking, a temporary task appeared on the Xinhuo panel.

[Temporary mission: Destroy the New Humanity Church branch, reward: 1000 points]

The mission reward is not much, which means that the mission is very simple for Feng Mo. Moreover, with the help of his second uncle, there will not be any big problems in the Huiyao Empire. It is estimated that this is a tourism bureau.

But the second news was not so good. The Hua family’s visit meant that Hua Minglong’s status in the Hua family was higher than they imagined, so much so that the Hua family needed to visit to resolve the matter.

The most likely family is Hua Minglong’s genius brother who came forward to persuade the family. After all, no genius brother would watch his younger brother have his fingers cut off and be exiled. That would have a great impact on his own reputation.

Feng Mo’s analysis was correct. At this moment in the ancestral hall of the Hua family, Hua Yucheng looked at his younger brother kneeling on the ground being punished, his face showing no emotion. Instead, his mother kept persuading his father not to beat him anymore. While dissuading him, she winked at her father and occasionally pinched Hua Minglong to make him scream louder.

Finally, the screams of his younger brother seemed to disturb Hua Yucheng who was deep in thought. He said softly, “Father and mother, you don’t have to act anymore. I’m here to help. I’ve done a lot of cleaning up my younger brother’s ass since he was a child. I hope this will be the last time.”

After saying this, he turned and left the ancestral hall, leaving his parents looking at each other in bewilderment.
