Chapter 554: You Dare Hit My Brother? Are You Worthy?
"Is this the infamous tussle for the family heir?" Judging from the attitude of the person claiming to be Natu's brother and Natu's reaction, it was almost laid bare.
Yet, those who dared to speak to Fang Jueyu in such a manner never met a good end!
"Did you just bark, Doggie?"
"Woof woof woof?" Doggie lifted its head. It hadn't done anything just now, so why was Fang Jueyu calling him out of the blue?
"If it wasn't you barking, then why did I hear something beckoning next to my ear?" Fang Jueyu scratched his ear, "Could I have heard wrong?"
By this time, even if he were a little thick-headed, the young man claiming to be Natu's brother could understand the undertone in Fang Jueyu's words. He was being called out!
"Host, you need to know when to strut your stuff. You don't have any bodyguards with you now, and this could get ugly!" Xiao Yi warned, "You can't possibly use a Transcender mark just to deal with these few people, can you? That would be a colossal waste."
"I know, aren't there a few bodyguards near Natu?" Fang Jueyu looked relaxed, "Though their skill seems a bit weaker than that buffoon's bodyguards, with me here, it's not much of a problem."
"What are you planning?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Didn't you get a bunch of Frenzy Potions? Hehehe, with those, even a gap of a couple of levels in strength isn't an issue, right?"
"Hahaha, for once, your brain is working."
"Hey, Xiao Yi, can you contact my parents now?"
"Of course I can, we're in the cosmic civilization's area now. Reaching them via the cosmic network is way easier than on Earth!"
"Alright, then quickly help me with something…"
...
Just as Fang Jueyu had speculated, in the environment where Natu grew up, it was filled with plots and intrigues.
Even in an ordinary Earth family, such drama might continuously unfold, let alone when Natu's father was a big shot reigning over a third-level civilization.
His position, in the future, had his descendants eyeing it covetously.
If you wanted to become the ruler of the future civilization, either you needed to be extremely capable and resourceful, or you had to eliminate all your competitors.
However, the elders always had more connections and resources, and for young ones like Natu, those resources never reached them, so they were often oppressed in front of their elder brothers.
His elder brother wasn't one of the best either; they too suffered repression and exploitation, and to find a balance, the oppression cascaded down in layers. In essence, Natu was nothing but a punching bag.
Thus, most of the time, Natu would stay within his own territory, unwilling to return to his home planet, because in those places, he never felt any semblance of home, only humiliation and oppression.
"Natu, is this the kind of friend you've made outside?" the young man sneered, unable to see any touch of nobility in Fang Jueyu, nor any decent bodyguards at his side, labeling him as a man of no note.
"I…" Natu still didn't dare to raise his head to look at the young man.
"Natu," suddenly, a strong hand rested on Natu's shoulder, "Remember what I told you, my friends never have to bow and scrape to anyone."
Natu turned back and saw Fang Jueyu's eyes, radiating warmth, determination, and confidence.
"Yeah, I'm not the same as before!" Although he had only known Fang Jueyu for a few months, his life trajectory had already taken a dramatic change.
In terms of wealth, he now possessed hundreds of thousands of trillion cosmic coins, and even among his numerous elder brothers, none could match his wealth.
Talent-wise, he was not terribly lacking, and Fang Jueyu had gifted him a pupil skill on par with a fifth-level one. Given time, he could stand out among his many brothers.
Though not yet qualified to compare with his most outstanding brothers and sisters, he was no longer the Natu who was bullied by everyone.
At that moment, Natu seemed transformed. His eyes met the young man's bravely, and the young man was unexpectedly filled with a slight fear as he looked into them.
"How is that possible? How could this waste have such a piercing gaze?" Suddenly, he felt his brother became unfamiliar.
"Kulun, who I befriend is none of your business, is it?" Natu spoke, standing tall. It was the first time he had ever stood up to his elder brother, his hands slightly trembling.
Because in the past, such words would earn him a beating.
"Haha, fine, good!" Kulun chuckled instead of getting angry, "Seems like it's been too long since I last taught you a lesson. You've forgotten what respect for your brother means."
"The four of you, keep an eye on his bodyguards!"
"Yes, young master." These were household matters, generally, bodyguards wouldn't intervene.
"Take these! If his bodyguards make a move, drink them!" Fang Jueyu discreetly handed several red vials to Natu's bodyguards.
"This…" Natu's bodyguards knew Fang Jueyu had an extraordinary background, one that even their civilization's ruler could not compare, but they were, after all, Natu's bodyguards.
"His orders are my orders!" Natu didn't know what these were but trusted Fang Jueyu.
With Natu's command, the four bodyguards immediately gripped the red vials in their hands, steadfastly observing Kulun's bodyguards.
"Kulun, with my friend here today, I am in no mood to waste time with you. You better not stir up trouble here!"
"Fine, a few years absent and you've got some spunk," the brother who could hit and scold him without fear found Natu's back-talk unbearable with his already twisted heart. "Alright then, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of father!"
Kulun walked towards Natu, each step empowering him. Their father's iconic skill was a fist technique, faint arcs of lightning crackling around Kulun's fists.
"Xiao Yi, doesn't anyone care about fights in public areas?" Fang Jueyu saw many security guards in the hall, but they had no intention to intervene.
"Host, it's normal for a few Martial Artists to have a scuffle in cosmic civilizations, but as long as no one around gets hurt or any public facilities get damaged, these guards won't interfere."
"To put it bluntly, in the eyes of security, a couple of Source Energy Users are as harmless as children bickering in the playground. They can control it totally."
Suddenly, Kulun launched an attack, his powerful fist aiming straight for Natu's chest. The two had a gap of a full four tiers in strength, and if hit, Natu was bound to get injured.
For Natu, standing up against his brother for the first time was already a massive breakthrough. As for getting hurt, so be it. At least in front of Kulun in the future, he could hold his head up high, no longer burdened by his former inferiority.
"I'll take care of it!" Fang Jueyu gently pulled Natu behind him, "Beast King Fist!"
"Bang!" The collision of two fists created a violent shockwave, and the bodyguards quickly encircled them, dissipating the force entirely.
"Clap clap clap!" Each retreated three steps. Somehow, Fang Jueyu, a third-tier Source Energy User, had managed to play to a draw with the eighth-tier Source Energy User, Kulun!
"Do you think you're worthy of hitting my brother?"
