Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

Yuan Zhu saw the expression on Jiang Kai's face and immediately sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly grabbed Jiang Kai's arm and whispered, "Kai, don't get worked up. We can't afford to provoke the Huang family."

Lu Jun's expression remained calm, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

The commander had taken a keen interest in this Jiang Kai, even sending Su Lanlan to investigate his background. However, some details couldn't be reflected in written documents.

And now, this was the perfect time for such subtle information to surface.

With this realization, Lu Jun made up his mind to remain on the sidelines for now.

Xia Tao furrowed his brows. It was strange to see Lu Jun simply watching the commotion.

As the reception officer, Xia Tao felt it necessary to step forward.

Xia Tao looked at Huang Wei and asked, "Huang Wei, are you dissatisfied with the results?"

Huang Wei snorted coldly and, just like Jiang Kai, switched to a more casual tone, "Brother Xia, of course, I'm not satisfied. Honestly, do you believe Jiang Kai's results?"

"Do you think a newcomer has the strength to defeat a wolf king?"

"Do you believe the three of them could kill nearly ten sumggler?"

After asking these questions, Huang Wei turned to Lu Jun. "Brother, I am a law-abiding citizen. I've always respected the decisions made by the military. If you say the military privately gave them equipment, that's your business, and I won't interfere. But if you publicly assign them points and rewards that don't belong to them, I won't just stand by."

Faced with these pointed questions, Xia Tao was at a loss.

To be fair, Huang Wei's questions weren't just his own. Everyone in the crowd of three to four hundred—perhaps even Lu Jun himself—had similar doubts.

Huang Wei's disruption of the award ceremony had shifted everyone's attention to Jiang Kai and his group.

Clearly, everyone was questioning the outcome.

Amid all this scrutiny, Yuan Zhu started feeling timid.

Su Nuannuan was about to step forward and say something, but Lu Jun gave her a slight shake of his head.

At that moment, Jiang Kai moved.

He gently shook off Yuan Zhu's hand and walked toward Huang Wei.

When he stopped half a step in front of Huang Wei, the crowd fell silent.

Huang Wei came from a privileged background and had a well-built physique. He was about the same height as Jiang Kai, but his years of training had given him a more muscular frame.

Staring at Jiang Kai, Huang Wei showed no fear. He tilted his chin slightly, the corners of his mouth lifting in a sneer. "What? Are you going to eat me? Go ahead, try it! I dare you to kill me right now."

Huang Wei spoke with disdain, feeling confident because of his backing—the Black Tortoise Guild.

As one of the top ten guilds in Huaxia City, the Black Tortoise Guild was a dominant force in District 18.

Even though the military officer seemed to value Jiang Kai, the military rarely interfered in civilian disputes or proactively recruited civilian forces.

Since all newcomers from Jiangzhong City would eventually report to District 18, Huang Wei felt justified in making his case.

Jiang Kai didn't make a move, just as Huang Wei had expected.

Feeling even more triumphant, Huang Wei sneered, "I can't believe someone like you made it into Destiny's Calling."

"Trial champion? You don't deserve it."

"Whether it's Ghost Star or Jiangzhong City, your entire family are nothing but parasites."

Huang Wei leaned in slightly, his face close to Jiang Kai's ear, and lowered his voice. "I should've killed you last time. That way, I wouldn't have to see your disgusting face today. You know, whether in the real world or in Destiny's Calling, crushing you is as easy as squashing an ant."

Then, Huang Wei straightened up, raising his voice deliberately. "I'm only questioning an unreasonable result. Give us all an explanation."

Huang Wei's hypocrisy didn't surprise Jiang Kai.

Though Jiang Kai's face remained expressionless, his seemingly calm eyes emanated a bone-chilling coldness.

Faced with Huang Wei's aggressive questioning, Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly but stayed silent.

"You're not saying anything? Can't explain it? Haha, everyone look—this guy hasn't said a single word. He must have..."

Before the word "ghost" could leave Huang Wei's mouth, Jiang Kai moved.

In an instant, he drew a poisoned arrow from his quiver and viciously stabbed it into Huang Wei's face.

Even though Huang Wei was a top-tier Martial Disciple with formidable abilities, possibly enhanced by powerful skills that allowed him to kill three medium-sized beasts in the trial zone, he stood no chance against Jiang Kai's godlike agility.

At such close range, Huang Wei had no time to react. The poisoned arrow pierced straight through his cheek.

The most shocking part was that nobody had expected Jiang Kai to go straight for the kill in public.

Huang Da, who had been watching from the sidelines, was utterly dumbfounded. His mind went blank.

This Jiang Kai didn't follow any script.

And his method was brutal—directly aiming for the face. The arrow left Huang Wei, who had been laughing smugly moments before, with a gruesome wound.

The scene was terrifying.

"You! Jiang... Jiang... Kai!" Huang Wei's face still bore a mocking smile as he collapsed to the ground, convulsing and frothing at the mouth.

Jiang Kai coldly stared at the twitching, dying Huang Wei. Rolling his eyes, he sneered, "Rambling nonsense. No idea what you're even saying."

Then, Jiang Kai muttered disdainfully, "Only six points of lootable experience? Rich families are this poor?"

According to Huaxia's rules, in intra-player disputes, one could loot experience points but was discouraged from stealing data wristwatches.

Even in the back alleys, selling data wristwatches was unheard of, proving that Huaxia players universally observed this rule.

After struggling for a moment, Huang Wei's body vanished, indicating he had been killed and logged out.

Having officially passed the newcomer trial, Huang Wei was now a Destiny's Calling player. However, his death meant he couldn't log in for the next month.

Finally snapping out of his stupor, Huang Da rushed out of the crowd. "Jiang Kai, you're courting death."

Jiang Kai gazed at the approaching Huang Da with a cold stare. "What, you want to fight here?"

Huang Da glanced at Lu Jun out of the corner of his eye, suppressing his fury. He roared, "Everyone saw it—it was you who struck first."

Jiang Kai raised his head, scanning the crowd with a faint smile. "You all heard it too. He asked me to kill him. Honestly, it was the most outrageous request I've ever heard, so I had no choice but to oblige."

"And now you want to fight me? What's that supposed to mean? Throwing your weight around as a higher-level player to bully a newcomer? Is this how the Black Tortoise Guild operates? And during an awards ceremony, no less. Are you planning to openly defy the military?"

Jiang Kai's calm demeanor turned unexpectedly eloquent, leaving Huang Da momentarily speechless.

No matter how one looked at it, both Jiang Kai and Huang Wei were newcomers from the same cohort. Huang Da, on the other hand, had been in Destiny's Calling for two years. If he attacked Jiang Kai, he'd be seen as a bully.

"Fine, fine! Jiang Kai, you've got guts. We'll settle this later." Huang Da growled. "But for now, you still owe us an explanation."

Jiang Kai snorted. "An explanation? Didn't I already give you one?"

The crowd froze in confusion.

Lu Jun, however, was the first to catch on.

Huang Wei, a top-tier Martial Disciple, had been extremely powerful. Yet, when Jiang Kai attacked, Huang Wei hadn't even had time to react. He was instantly taken down.

And that poisoned arrow—its toxicity was astonishing.

If anyone needed proof, Jiang Kai's strength and methods were the explanation.
