Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1473  The First Piece

While Wang Wei waited for the association to receive him, an invited guest came to see him.

"Prime Minister Zu, what brings you here?" Wang Wei asked as he sipped his tea. "Are you here to make another deal?"

"Where is Hong Wa?" Zu Chenghuang asked directly.

"Why are you asking me about your people?" Wang Wei asked back, not hiding his confusion.

"This is not a joking matter. Where is she?"

"Watch your tone!" Wang Wei said with squinted eyes, sending chills down the latter's back. However, the Prime Minister did not back down.

"I can tell you honestly that we are prepared for an all-out war for her," Zu Chenghuang warned.

"First of all, you are accusing me of something that I haven't done, nor do you have any proof of," Wang Wei said calmly. "But if you want a war, I can give you one. How about I take this opportunity to slaughter all of you?"

"You!"

"I probably couldn't get through your dynasty's main array, but it should be no issue slaughtering all your citizens and ruining your luck," Wang Wei stated calmly, and Zu Chenghuang stared at him with flaming eyes.

"You see that? That's how you make a threat," Wang Wei continued before slowly sipping his tea. He let his words marinate, increasing the pressure on the Prime Minister. "The last time we spoke, you were confident — nay, arrogant — you could protect her. But now that she has escaped your grasp, you come barking at me like a mad dog. How does that make sense?"
