Chapter 285: Stripped Bare

Zhang Wan stepped forward, looked at Qu Shengtao, and barked, "I should be the one asking you! What are you doing here at my Family's place?"

Zhang Wan was the young master of the Zhang Family and was around the same age as Qu Shengtao, so only he was qualified to speak with Qu Shengtao as an equal.

"Asking me what I'm doing?" Qu Shengtao snapped. "I want to ask what your Zhang Family is trying to do! First, our Ziyun Auction House was robbed by you, and now our largest shop has been pillaged. Is your Zhang Family planning to fight our Qu Family to the death?"

"What do the robberies of the Ziyun Auction House and the Pill Shop have to do with our Zhang Family? Go find whoever stole your things. What do you mean by coming to my Zhang Family for an explanation?" Zhang Wan, of course, would not admit that he had robbed the Ziyun Auction House.

He was also puzzled; he hadn't robbed that Qu Family shop. Who on earth had done it?

Qu Shengtao sneered, "If not your Zhang Family, then who? Go ask around on the streets. Right now, the whole of Chenyang City knows that your Zhang Family robbed our Qu Family's Auction House and shop."

"Those are just rumors. How can they be taken seriously?" Zhang Wan was no fool. These rumors were completely untrustworthy; it was possible someone was deliberately framing the Zhang Family.

In fact, Zhang Wan's guess was spot on.

This was a rumor spread by the Qu Family Head's subordinates, specifically to frame the Zhang Family.

"Cut the crap. I've looked into it. Those Martial Artists accidentally let slip yesterday that they were from the Zhang Family. If you're smart, you'll hand over the culprits and the treasures. I'll take the people and the items and let bygones be bygones this time. Otherwise…"

Qu Shengtao threatened.

Let bygones be bygones?

How could that be possible? If the Zhang Family admitted to it, he could go to his father to claim credit and extort them for all they were worth. There was no way he'd let it go!

"Otherwise, what?" Zhang Wan shouted. "Do you think our Zhang Family is afraid of you? You want to cause trouble at my place with just these few people? You'd better check yourself first."

"Haha…" Qu Shengtao laughed wildly. "I haven't checked myself, but I'm sure you have.

I heard that a few days ago, several naked people were running through the streets. I heard that among them, one was the Zhang Family's young master, Zhang Wan.

Did you take off your clothes to weigh yourself, only for them to disappear, and then you ran back to the Zhang Family stark naked?"

"So it was Young Master Zhang Wan. I was wondering who was so bold as to streak through the streets of Chenyang City. Since it was our young master, it's not surprising."

"But Young Master Zhang is really pushing it. Doesn't he know this disgraces the Family?"

Although they were about to fight and the atmosphere was tense, such a hilarious matter caused the Zhang Family members to whisper. Some couldn't help but chuckle, and many stole glances at Zhang Wan.

"You… you…" Zhang Wan was livid. This was his sorest spot; he hated it most when people brought this up.

Lately, whenever he went out, he felt like people were pointing and laughing at him behind his back, leaving him so rattled that he hadn't dared to leave the house for days.

Now that Qu Shengtao had brought it up again, Zhang Wan was naturally consumed by shame and rage.

"Black Snake, seize them and strip them of their clothes!" Zhang Wan roared.

"Yes, Young Master," a one-eyed Martial Artist stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Zhang Wan, what do you think you're doing?" Qu Shengtao was both shocked and furious.

"What am I doing?" Zhang Wan grinned. "Naturally, I'm going to make you stripped bare as well! Do it!"

"You dare!" Qu Shengtao barked, panic rising. It was broad daylight; if he ran back naked, he would become the laughingstock of all Chenyang City.
