Reborn as a Noble’s Son

Chapter 372: Chapter 363: The troublemaker Nie Zhenbang (Second update asking for monthly tickets)_1
As he was saying this, Nie Zhenbang suddenly moved. He was quiet as a maiden, yet quick as an escaping rabbit. In an advancing flash, he raised, then pulled. His foot lifted, his real kick landing solidly on Guo Tao’s stomach. With a loud smack, Guo Tao was sent flying through the air, only to land face-first on the ground like a dog eating manure.

Nie Zhenbang’s abrupt move left the castle eerily quiet. Here, Yun Zhiguang, the eldest heir of the Yun family, defined it as a place of elegance, the entire estate radiating nobility. Everyone who came here sought a taste of medieval European nobility, and even the crudest of people had to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor once they entered. Pretending at least.

But Nie Zhenbang’s action was like a turd stirred into a pot of porridge, a boulder tossed into a tranquil lake. In the hall, there weren’t many people, but everyone had stood up now, their gazes focusing on the spectacle.

However, even in such a situation, no one stepped forward, including frequent visitors like Zhao Xinglong and Liu Kun.

Guo Tao slowly managed to pick himself up from the ground. While Nie Zhenbang’s attack was ruthless, it was also measured. On the surface, it looked like Guo Tao was brutally kicked away. It seemed very fierce, yet Nie Zhenbang wasn’t using his full strength, and he didn’t damage Guo Tao’s fundamental vitality. The worst of the damage was merely falling face-flat on the ground. It’s no surprise given Guo Tao’s youthful age, around twenty. If he was the same age as Nie Zhenbang, he would undoubtedly understand the prestige of the third brother of the Nie family. It was his young and ignorant fearlessness that led him to believe that the Nie family had declined to the point where anyone could bully it at will.

Upon standing, Guo Tao’s face revealed a trace of ferocity. He bellowed, “Nie Zhenbang, you dare to hit me. Let’s see if I can’t carry you out of here horizontally today.”

Just as Guo Tao finished speaking, Nie Jiamin stepped forward with a look of disdain on his face, saying in a deep voice, “You think you’re capable? You’re just the youngest son of the Guo family, Old Guo’s baby boy. Let me put it this way, even if your elder brother Guo Bo came, he also wouldn’t dare be so presumptuous in front of me. The children of today really are getting more and more reckless.”

Mentioning Guo Bo deflated Guo Tao’s momentum in an instant. Guo Bo was his real elder brother, the future star that the entire Guo family was now focused on nurturing. Compared to his elder brother, himself a mere spoilt rich kid, Guo Tao felt like earth and heaven apart.

At this point, a team of security guards walked up, led by a man who was roughly 1.7 meters tall. Underneath his shorter stature, he radiated an intense power. His tense body resembled a cheetah, seemingly ready to attacking at any moment, each move potentially lethal.

Seeing the current situation, the team leader stepped forward respectfully, saying, “Esteemed guests, the Asia-Europe Castle Manor has always strictly prohibited fighting…”

Before he could finish, Nie Jiamin interrupted, “What are you? Taking sides? Just now, when we argued with this kid, where were your guards? What, you only show up when we’re winning? You have no right to interfere in this matter and should keep out of it. Stay as far away as you can.”

Nie Jiamin’s tone was harsh. Ordinarily, the Nie family was known for their excellent upbringing. However, with the death of Elder Nie, the family had been under a lot of pressure. Now, with Elder Nie’s body not yet cold, someone couldn’t wait to jump out. Nie Jiamin’s anger was understandable, and it was perfectly normal for him to vent some of it in his words.

At Nie Jiamin’s words, the security team leader’s expression became somewhat uncomfortable. The castle’s rules stated that security was not to interfere in guests’ disputes. This was the reason why the security hadn’t stepped in earlier.

Nie Jiamin, seeing the team leader’s uncomfortable expression, prepared to step forward. But then Nie Zhenbang gently held Nie Jiamin back, speaking in a soothing tone, “Let it go, Brother. They’re just poor people employed by others, eking out a living. It’s tough for them, there’s no need to make it any harder.”

As Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, applause sounded from behind him. Turning to look, they saw Yun Zhiguang leading a group of people down the stairs. He wore a casual expression, then burst out laughing, “Third young master Nie, truly, your reputation is well-deserved. It’s been a few years, but your charisma remains unchanged. This time, allow me to host, may I offer you a drink?”

As the owner of the Asia-Europe Castle Manor, when Yun Zhiguang mentioned “a drink,” it naturally referred to an entire evening’s expenses.

Upon seeing the boss approach, the security team leader and his men knew that the situation had come to a close. Even if things started again, they wouldn’t need to step in. With that, they led the rest of the security team away.

Yun Zhiguang, this guy, truly enjoyed splitting hairs, as though he couldn’t possibly show the genteel and gentlemanly manner of the Yun family heir without doing so.

Nie Zhenbang replied with a laugh, “It is no small honor to be invited to a banquet by the Yun Family’s eldest. This invitation is not something everyone gets.”

As he had finished speaking, a sudden voice rang out, “Nie Zhenbang, what? You hit someone, and you think you can just leave without apologizing? Or is that really how the Nie family teaches manners?”

These words were like a slap in the face to both Nie Zhenbang and Nie Jiamin. Even Yun Zhiguang was irritated. These kids were truly undermining him! On the side, Zhao Xinglong, Liu Kun, and others were also frowning.

Nie Zhenbang looked in the direction of the voice, and at this moment, standing next to Guo Tao were two lads of eighteen or nineteen, one of whom had some resemblance to Li Guohua in his features. It seemed that this was a descendant of the Li family.

Just as he prepared to speak, the lad addressed him again: “Let me introduce myself, I’m Li Minhua. What, do you old fellows think that you own the place here in the Four-Nine City? Let me tell you, your era has passed.”

From the side, another young lad started, “Hua, isn’t there a common saying? ‘The waves behind drive on those before, and the waves before die upon the shore. The land will always produce new talent, each new generation will replace the old.’ It seems they don’t understand that it is not their era anymore.”

Liu Kun began whispering to Zhao Xinglong at this moment: “This brash boy is the grandson of the parliamentary chairman Gu Qingshan. He’s from a military family named Ma Zhe and these few have been the most arrogant here in Jingcheng recently.”

Upon hearing Liu Kun’s words, Zhao Xinglong smiles: “Kun, who would have thought that at just thirty, we would have become old fellows. One is the grandson of the chairman of the political consultative conference, another is the grandson of the parliamentary chairman, not to mention the old Li family. Of course, they have good reasons to be arrogant.”

Their arrogance seemed written across their faces. What they had said had not only offended Nie Zhenbang, but also everyone at the scene including Yun Zhiguang.

Nie Zhenbang chuckled lightly at this moment and cast a glance at Yun Zhiguang: “Young Master Yun, since we’re at your place, you won’t mind if I teach these youngsters a lesson, will you?”

Earlier, Ma Zhe and Li Minhua had indirectly offended Yun Zhiguang with their words. And at this moment, Yun Zhiguang couldn’t wait for Nie Zhenbang to take action. If not for respecting the fact that they were on his premises, Yun maybe would have done it himself. Being the heir of the overseas Yun family and the nephew of Premier Yun, Yun had always been exceedingly arrogant. Not being part of the system, with a family based overseas, Yun was more impudent and less restrained than the likes of Nie Zhenbang while doing things.

Subsequently, Yun Zhiguang nodded and smiled: “If Third Master Nie wants to take action, I’d be happy to see it.”

With Yun Zhiguang’s approval, Nie Zhenbang turned around, and looked seriously at Guo Tao and the others, saying in a deep voice, “Li Minhua, right? I haven’t had the chance to teach your older brother, Li Guohua a lesson. Since you are in such a hurry to leap out, I’ll start by teaching you how to behave.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Zhenbang ordered firmly: “Li Minhua, just now, your remarks insulted the Nie family. I am curious to see the quality of education you received from the Li family. I’ll give you a chance, apologize to me now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind teaching you on behalf of your grandfather.”

Nie Zhenbang’s action at this moment earned Yun Zhiguang’s admiration. From the outside, it seemed unwise for Nie Zhenbang to challenge the Guo, Li, and Ma families. But any discerning person could tell that Nie Zhenbang was only targeting the Li family. Given the relationship between the Nie and Li families, a reconciliation was impossible. They were sworn enemies, and there’s no harm in offending them this one time.

As for the Guo and Gu families, surely their patriarchs would understand the situation, and wouldn’t blame Nie Zhenbang for this. Perhaps they would even impose restrictions on their own young ones.

At this moment, seeing Nie Zhenbang approaching him, Li Minhua started to tremble with fear and started backing away step by step: “Nie Zhenbang, what are you going to do? Hit me? I dare you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Zhenbang responded sternly: “Li Minhua, don’t blame me for not warning you. You can still apologize now.”

“Apologize? I won’t!” roared Li Minhua, his voice and face alike strained with livid anger.

In the world of noble families in Jingcheng, such stubbornness wasn’t uncommon. Ordinary people might consider an apology or a few words of conciliation to be insignificant, but for children of noble families, an apology was tantamount to a demotion. Afterward, there would be no face left to mix in Jingcheng.

Smack!

A resounding slap rang across the room. Nie Zhenbang’s hand had moved, leaving five bright red fingerprints on Li Minhua’s face, and a trace of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. When dealing with Guo Tao, Nie Zhenbang had tweaked his strength. But toward the offspring of the Li family, he wouldn’t be as merciful.

With a single slap, Li Minhua crumpled to the ground. Nie Zhenbang looked at him indifferently and then swept his gaze over Guo Tao and Ma Zhe, saying calmly: “That is the power of an old fellow. When you go back, tell your family that the one who stirred trouble was me, Nie Zhenbang.”
