Zhu Qingkai's words were like pressing Duan Ming's face into the ground and stomping on it.
Duan Ming's face alternated between blue and white upon hearing the words, clearly seething with anger inside, yet he dared not retort Zhu Qingkai, just stood there clenching his fists.
"Useless!"
Even though they were of the same clan, Duan Mian couldn't help but curse inwardly upon seeing Duan Ming's disgraceful display. He slowly stepped forward, gazing at Zhu Qingkai with malice and threatening harshly, "Captain Zhu, it's a grave crime to defame the Lord. I'm giving you a chance to take back your words, or else don't blame this Commander for acting according to military law."
Indeed, old ginger is spicier; Duan Mian avoided Zhu Qingkai's challenge to Duan Ming's strength, instead seizing the loophole in his words, accusing him of defaming the Lord and actually gaining the upper hand in momentum.
