Teaching Someone a Lesson (2)
The West Galaxy Street gradually became noisy, and the spectators only dared to stand at a distance, watching the dispute between the nobles.
“Can’t,” Master Brandon sneered, spreading his hands in feigned surprise, “Miss Bei, what’s with that expression on your face—don’t tell me that the friend behind you is really a commoner? Is it really possible for commoners to also come to West Galaxy Street?”
“What about my friend? It’s not up to someone like you who can only see their background to judge.” Bei Man’er said in a cold tone, “Brandon, get out of there, don’t force me to say too much unpleasant words.”
Brandon smiled nonchalantly and said, “Don’t be so angry, I just want to get to know this friend……”
“I heard that Ms. Bei has been depressed since she came back from the Far Interstellar Space. Since this friend can please you, then he must have something unique, am I right?”
As these words fell, countless spectators turned their gazes to the thin, pale, black-haired young man behind Bei Man’er. Some whispers emerged from all around.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Young Master Brandon’s words had already made Jiang Jianming into the kind of person who curry favors to a noble young lady.
Bei Man’er was secretly annoyed in her heart. She and the second young master of the Brandon family have had a long-standing feud which was due to her ruthless rejection of this dandy’s public show of affection several years ago, which caused the latter to hold a grudge in his heart.
It’s just that for many years, the status of the family had been there, and no matter how annoyed Brandon was, it was impossible for him to be blatantly rude to her.
But Jiang Jianming was different, he had no power and influence, no relatives, and was also not a person who would bend down and beg for mercy. If he’s going to be targeted by this kind of trash……….
Bei Man’er bit her lower lip, regretting that she shouldn’t have brought him here.
Suddenly, a few strange comments came from the crowd.
“Hey, what’s with that disabled human……”
“What is he doing?”
Bei Man’er and Brandon were stunned for a moment, then looked sideways.
They saw that the black-haired young man who had been so quiet that he had no sense of existence, now pursed his lips in embarrassment, and a few strands of broken hair were hanging in front of his frowning eyebrows. He was pressing the ear piece with one hand, and the wrist device of the other hand was reflecting a projection screen. He was whispering something. “…Sorry, it’s a bit inconvenient right now, can you please wait…………..”
Jiang Jianming knew that he had a problem, he was not very good at checking the messages on his wrist device in time. For this reason, he didn’t know how many times he was nagged at by Tang Zhen when he was in the military academy.
But he thought it was due to his own personality. He liked to be immersed in thinking or being alone, and he often read an academic book for hours. All of these required a long period of silence and concentration, free from external disturbances.
“Besides, if there is really an urgent matter,” he said to Tang Zhen lightly back then, “don’t normal people request real-time chat communication directly?”
There were two communication functions of the wrist device, one was text messages, and the other was a call with projection.
To put it bluntly, it was the difference between text messages and phone calls.
“Then let’s put it this way as you said…..” Tang Zhen rolled his eyes feebly.
Jiang Jianming: “That would be good, anyway, it’s not a big deal, why do we need to keep an eye on it all the time.”
In short, Tang Zhen was unable to argue with him. His Royal Highness Ryann was also not as paranoid as he was now, nor as idle as he was now. Thus his problem continued.
But at the same time, he had another habit: As long as there was a call coming in, he would answer it immediately to avoid delays.
It was only when the small projected screen flashed above the wrist device that Jiang Jianming realized that something was wrong.
He subconsciously picked up the call, but at present, it didn’t seem like an atmosphere good for chatting……
Seeing Bei Man’er and Brandon turn their heads, the attention of passers-by was also attracted.
Jiang Jianming reacted extremely quickly, he swiftly pulled a corner of his coat, and blocked the projection first to prevent outsiders from seeing Garcia’s face.
When his eyes fell, the face of His Royal Highness was indeed reflected on the opposite side of the small projection.
Garcia didn’t seem to have expected Jiang Jianming to answer so quickly, and before he had time to tidy up the worried look between his brows, he immediately turned delighted.
“Jiang, I’m not going to scold you.”
A magnetic voice came from the ear piece, Garcia covered his lips with a fist, coughed, and restrained the raised corners of his lips into the usual stern lines, but his tone was relaxed.
“…But you shouldn’t ignore me, this is a very serious issue. Your body has not yet recovered, and now you are alone…”
“Hello! What do you say!”
The lackey named Martin suddenly shouted at Jiang Jianming. “Our Young Master Brandon wants to get to know you, didn’t you hear? This is a blessing you wouldn’t accumulate even in your eight lifetimes, hurry up!”
When Martin yelled this sentence, his face was very unsightly.
He didn’t understand what was going on with this disabled human civilian……
Didn’t you see that the young master of the Brandon family is the one in front of you? Or perhaps he’s so thick-skinned that he can’t even realize one’s own hostility towards him?
It’s fine if this person is not afraid and shivering, but how can he still be chatting leisurely?
He must let this kind of ignorant guy know how powerful he is.
In the next moment, Martin raised his eyebrows triumphantly…..He got what he wished for, and saw the young man suddenly raise his face, with lips that were slightly pale.
Jiang Jianming looked a little flustered, he pressed the ear piece with one hand, and said softly, “……No it isn’t, listen to my explanation.”
On the other side of the ear piece, the originally pleasant voice abruptly disappeared.
“….Jiang Jianming.”
A few seconds later, a chilling and eerie tone sounded instead. “Who are you with?”
“What’s the matter?” On the opposite side, the other lackey was also unwilling to fall behind, his arrogance was even more blatant, “Where are you calling for reinforcement, ah?”
Jiang Jianming put his slender fingers on the center of his eyebrows, looked at the farce in front of him, and said weakly, “There isn’t……”
Garcia sneered: “There, isn’t?”
“There isn’t? Or you dared not.”
The two lackeys playfully smirked and tried their best to provoke him, “Jianmin, what are you looking at standing there? Come here quickly. Already given you face yet you still don’t want it, believe it or not, I will gouge out your eyeballs!” (TL: they did not call his name incorrectly. The word Jianmin means social stratum below the level of ordinary people.)
(t/n Already given you face yet you still don’t want it-when there is a dispute between two parties, the stronger party (A) deliberately backs down many times in order to save face for the weaker party (B). to resolve conflicts. But Party B not only did not stop there, but also overreached, and the situation became more and more serious.)
Bei Man’er became furious, raised her wrist device and said, “Brandon, he is a disabled human being, if you continue to harass him, I will report you to the patrolling police!”
Brandon also didn’t want to disregard Bei Man’er’s feelings, thus he waved slowly, “Ah, all right, all right…..okay. Martin, Xiu, Come back, it seems that this friend doesn’t want to play with me.”
The two lackeys lazily agreed, and one of them gave Jiang Jianming a “ptew”. (TL:It’s a kind of sound to show your dislike or disapprove of something strongly; spitting sound)
They turned around and prepared to go back to the young master.
When the spectators around saw that the farce was over, they also wanted to disperse.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, a clear voice with a strong sense of helplessness echoed in everyone’s ears without hesitation.
“No it isn’t, just met a few troublemakers on the way. It’s really not as serious as you think!”
They saw the handsome disabled human being pressing his ear piece, with a sincere expression. “I’m sorry, I’ll call you back after I solve the problem…….is it alright?”
“Being bullied? No, how could it be possible! And they’re already leaving after they’ve finished sprinkling shrewishness…”
“What do you mean by not letting go, please wake up, I’m not a patrolling policeman who arrests people.”
“……..”
Quiet, the West Galaxy Street became extremely quiet.
People only stared, and none of the spectators dared to gasp.
At some point, the two lackeys who kept walking with their legs raised, turned their heads to stare at Jiang Jianming in a daze.
Brandon’s elegant face also stiffened a little.
Even Bei Man’er was lost.
“Hey.” Brandon suddenly shouted at Jiang Jianming.
Jiang Jianming held his forehead and sighed. “…Give the communication to the other party? It’s out of the question, not allowed. Please stop making trouble. This is my personal matter, please let me solve it myself.”
“Pfft”
In the crowd, it was unknown who couldn’t help but laugh.
The people in the distance began to whisper, “No way, no way. This disabled human being, hasn’t he been talking on his wrist device since the beginning?”
“Speaking of it, he doesn’t seem to have even looked at Brandon…”
“God, what’s the background of this guy?”
“How could this demeanor really be that of a commoner?”
“You boy,” Brandon’s face turned red at once. He laughed back in anger, and the corners of his eyes were throbbing, “dare to look down on me!?”
On the other side of the ear piece, Garcia asked in a deep voice, “Enough, don’t talk nonsense, where are you?”
Jiang Jianming was both anxious and amused, he couldn’t help but say, “Really, don’t make trouble, you have never been to Aslan before, if I tell you the location, will you be able to recognize it….”
Garcia: “Still trying to play dumb? I’ll let you report the cosmic coordinates in the concept of the three-dimensional star map.”
“……” As soon as these words were uttered, Jiang Jianming’s expression froze.
Three-dimensional star map, cosmic coordinates, this was a positioning method that only the space systems of mechas and starships use.
No, is the Little Highness planning to directly drive a mecha or even a starship into West Galaxy Street!?
On the bustling commercial street, Brandon was approaching furiously, followed by his two lackeys like door gods.
Garcia: “Forget it. Don’t turn off the communication, I will check your location myself.”
Not good.
Not good, not good, not good. Aslan will have a great calamity!
Jiang Jianming thought to himself in panic: This person has a rebellious personality, and now he is in such a paranoid state again. I am afraid that it isn’t really impossible for him to go crazy.
But is this kind of thing okay?
On the occasion of the empress’s 90th birthday, the crown prince who had been dead for three years suddenly appeared alive, and drove a starship into the Imperial Capital for the sake of a mere disabled human being commoner?
This is no longer a question of whether it is possible, but a question of whether the empire will still be okay.
It won’t do!
Jiang Jianming suddenly said, “Wait!……I understand, just wait for me for a minute.”
After saying this, he looked up. Finally, he looked carefully at the Young Master Brandon who had already walked in front of him.
This was a young man in his mid-twenties, with brown hair in a long braid that was popular among nobles, exquisite and luxurious clothes, and an overindulgent pale complexion…..His facial features seemed to be full of “supercilious and self-conceited” four characters.
Poor Young Master Brandon, he didn’t know what was going to happen yet, he gazed at him condescendingly and sarcastically said, “Have you finished your call?”
Jiang Jianming smiled apologetically at him then said, “I apologize, but I can’t help it either. I’m sorry.”
The next moment, he simply saw the body of this disabled human being with a weak and harmless temperament, polite and quiet words and deeds, flashed.
The onlookers couldn’t even see how he moved.
When he reacted, one of Young Master Brandon’s arms had already been caught, using it as a fulcrum, his body was raised high, and the hem of his gorgeous clothes fluttered–bang!!
The back of his shoulder hit the ground, and he fell over his shoulder, neat and crisp.
The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
“Ugh!” Brandon’s eyes bulged, and he almost didn’t spit out the acid water in his stomach.
His mind was buzzing, the spoiled young master hadn’t realized what had happened yet. “You… cough, you………”
Bei Man’er’s eyes lit up, and she blurted out unconsciously, “Beautiful!”
The two lackeys changed color in horror.
They were like two broken puppets, their teeth creaked and rattled for a long time before they spoke incoherently.
“You—you, you fellow, how dare you……”
“He’s finished, he dared, dared to deal with the Young Master of the Brandon family……”
Under the disbelieving gazes of the onlookers and the terrified gazes of the lackeys, Jiang Jianming walked up to Brandon who was paralyzed on the ground.
His expression was still indifferent, even mild.
……..Just for fun, no matter how he was referred to as a “weak and disabled human being”, he was also a military student who came out of the First Military Academy of the Empire. Did he not grit his teeth and drag his feverish body to follow the demonic training of the Silver Big Dipper new recruits?
In the silence of the commercial street, Jiang Jianming gently raised one leg and stepped on the face of Young Master Brandon with the sole of his shoe.
He even apologized again gently, “I’m really sorry, but don’t block the road in the street in the future.”
A dandy like Brandon wouldn’t be his opponent at all, he had never taken him seriously either.
The two lackeys didn’t even dare to go forward, they embraced each other with blue faces, trembling even more violently.
On the ground, Brandon’s face was trampled out of shape, his eyes become bloodshot, and he muttered, “You, are, dead.”
He almost popped his eyeballs out, stretching out his hand tremblingly, he tried to point to Jiang Jianming’s nose. “…..however disabled, disabled humans…..how much, how much thickness of a crystal bone is needed, your little life…….”
“Do as you please.”
The corners of Jiang Jianming’s lips seemed to curve, and he lowered his head slowly.
The voice was like a demon’s bewitching.
“A noble young master released crystal bones in the street in a private fight, causing countless casualties to innocent passers-by——I’ve already figured out the headline for tomorrow’s headlines for you.”
“Her Majesty’s birthday banquet is approaching, isn’t such an exciting news headline too pleasant for your noble family?!”
Brandon was shocked, and stared at Jiang Jianming with a ferocious look as if he was staring at his father’s enemies.
“…….”
“…….”
No one spoke anymore. This prosperous commercial street seemed to have never been so quiet before.
Jiang Jianming slowly moved his leg away, his eyebrows lowered, and he heard a soft laugh from the ear piece.
Garcia’s feign cold voice came faintly, “Raising your hand to strike right away? Having a bad temper, and a mouth that is still poisonous. You came back to recuperate, yet at the drop of a hat, you immediately raised your hand and fought. This is not allowed.”
A few seconds later, another sentence was added, “…Don’t you have a gun?”
Good, coaxed and made him happy.
Jiang Jianming immediately confirmed this, heaved a sigh of relief quietly, and at the same time ignored His Royal Highness’s last dangerous words.
It was not bad either, although it’s not in his habit to act so ostentatiously……But at least, he successfully saved Aslan from the clutches of the prince.
Jiang Jianming turned around and called out to Bei Man’er who was also stunned,”Let’s go.”
