Chapter 1: 1 1 Tang Zhong

1: Chapter 1 Tang Zhong 1: Chapter 1 Tang Zhong The coastal street district of Jianghai City is the busiest district in the entire city.

At the moment, it’s a sweltering evening, and both sides of the road are crowded with people.

Suddenly, a hand stretches out from the shore, startling passersby who hastily detour around it.

Next, they see a drenched man climb up, wearing only military trousers, lying on the ground and gasping for air.

“I’ve made it, finally made it!”

His muscular physique makes him a focal point, but the military trousers deter any women who were initially interested, promptly making their way around him.

One could tell he was broke at a glance.

However, Tang Zhong paid no mind to the gazes of others; at the moment, a raging fury filled his heart, a fury that made him itch to punch somebody.

“Damn it, those damn things, I’ll never trust those bastards again.

They lied to me, saying Liga Continent was only a few thousand kilometers away from the country—bullshit!

It’s tens of thousands of kilometers!

If I weren’t so tough, I would’ve been shark food by now!”

Tang Zhong was young, with eyebrows like sharp blades giving him a dashing appearance.

He sat on the ground and fumbled in his pocket, soon pulling out an old-fashioned Nokia phone with a grayscale screen!

He checked the time: “Only thirteen hours have passed?”

Then, he dialed a number with practiced ease.

The phone began to buzz.

It connected quickly!

Tang Zhong immediately burst into a tirade, “You bunch of assholes, you lied to me!

Just you wait, when I get back, I’ll make you pay!”

Laughter came from the other side of the phone, “Bro Tang, you’re too awesome.

A thirteen-hour swim across the entire Lita Sea—you’re…

you’re simply my idol.

No, I have to call the international record company and get you recognized as number one!”

“What I’m asking is why you lied to me!” Tang Zhong roared.

The person on the other end responded, “Hello…

hello, Bro Tang, what did you say?

I can’t hear you, man, the signal’s bad.

Got to go!”

Immediately after, the line went dead.

Fuming, Tang Zhong slammed the Nokia phone down on the ground and stomped on it several times.

Once his anger subsided, he picked the phone back up from the ground.

He dusted it off and expertly tucked it back into his pocket.

As for the phone, it wasn’t damaged at all.

After all, that phone was specially made for Tang Zhong; there’s only one of its kind in the world, and even rocks weren’t as hard as this Nokia phone.

“Forget it, let’s deal with the important matters!” Tang Zhong said.

As he spoke, he took out a half of a Dragon-engraved Jade Pendant from his pocket.

On it was a lifelike dragon, but the pendant was only half-completed.

Nonetheless, it betrayed the extraordinary quality of the Jade Pendant, emitting a faint green glow!

Looking at the Jade Pendant, Tang Zhong thought of the past.

This half of the Jade Pendant was left to him by his grandfather, who told Tang Zhong:

If in the future you encounter someone with the other half of the Jade Pendant, if it’s a man, become sworn brothers with him; if it’s a woman, then she is your wife!

The young Tang Zhong asked why it had to be this way.

But each time, his grandfather only mentioned that it was an agreement between two families and said nothing more!

Though Tang Zhong was puzzled, his inquiries elsewhere were met with ignorance, so eventually, he stopped asking.

And so he continued to


It was simply beastly, taking advantage of someone’s vulnerability!

This was none of Tang Zhong’s business, but he had decided to intervene.

And why?

Ha, simply because the woman was a beauty!

“This woman is my wife!” Tang Zhong declared.

“So, you lot can scram!”

Upon hearing that, the leader’s face showed a sneer, “You say she’s your wife, and she is?

Even if she is your wife, I’m claiming her today.

Just look at your poor ass, still wearing army pants.

Such a fine wife should go with me instead!”

After he finished speaking, the others laughed loudly, not taking Tang Zhong seriously at all!

“Oh, that’s perfect!” Tang Zhong said with a smile, then slapped one of them right across the face!
