The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 396-400

Chapter 396 - A King's Promise

At the Wang family's residence on a small path, a few youths dressed in fine clothes had mocking smiles on their faces as they stopped a youth wearing ordinary clothes.

Pa!

One of the finely dressed youths savagely slapped the ordinary youth's face without any warning.

The ordinary youth stumbled back a few steps and felt a stinging pain on his face, making him want to cry. His eyes watered, but before he was able to regain his balance, he was kicked to the ground.

"Wang Xiaozhu, you dare to disobey us? You're just a member of the collateral family; you're just a dog in front of us. We are from the main family," one person said in a condescending tone as he stepped on the ordinary youth's head while the others loudly laughed.

Wang Xiaozhu didn't move, allowing them to step on him without any resistance. After all, resisting them would simply result in more pain and suffering, and they could even put his family in danger.

The finely dressed youths had all been laughing and grinning, but seeing that Wang Xiaozhu wasn't reacting or resisting even after they kicked him a few times, they got bored and walked off.

After they left, Wang Xiaozhu held in the pain and humiliation as he crawled up. His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at the youths walking away.

Wang Xiaozhu's status was quite special - he was the child of a servant, but because he was found to have the Wang family's bloodline, he was elevated to be part of the collateral family.

However, this status hadn't benefited him at all. The children of servants were bullied by the main family descendants since they were young. Even if he was a part of the collateral family now, his status was still far inferior to theirs.

When he was bullied, his parents would simply tell him to endure it. After all, the main family descendants' statuses were far higher than theirs, so they couldn't afford to offend them.

Wang Xiaozhu had understood this since he was young, and his thoughts were far more mature than anyone his age. He desperately wanted to get rid of this status and become someone who could reign above others. At the same time, his hatred towards the Wang family became stronger day after day.

However, it wouldn't be so easy for him to obtain an opportunity, and if he didn't find an opportunity, he would always be stuck with this lowly status and have to endure the bullying from the Wang family's main family descendants. Wang Xiaozhu didn't want to continue living the same life as his parents.

Wang Xiaozhu patted off the dust on his body and put on an expression as if nothing had happened. He then went to the place where the main family descendants were going to eat and helped out with carrying food around and cleaning.

The wages for working here were quite high, and he could earn a lot of money. However, Wang Xiaozhu didn't work here for the money - after all, as part of the collateral family, he didn't have to worry about his daily needs. Rather, he had another purpose.

Whenever he worked here, he would listen in on the main family descendants' conversations. Since he wasn't going to be given an opportunity, he would make one for himself.

While serving food today, he had heard that there was a mountain that looked like a woman lying down in the east, and Wang Xiaozhu committed this to his memory.

After returning to his room, Wang Xiaozhu went to the Heaven Awaken World and recorded this information in a book - he had recorded a lot of information in here already.
