From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality
Chapter 8 Zen Pummeled The Stewards (Part Two)

Although these people had strength, they could not move Zen who had reached the bone refininglevel.

Zen's feet were like a wedge smashed by a hammer, deeply nailed to the ground. The servants usedall their strength, and yet, they couldn't move Zen. Their bodies were covered in sweat with theeffort. They even panted as though out of breath and energy. Seeing this, Darren said, "Zen, I amgiving you a chance to serve Grey. It's better than being beaten every day. Don't be difficult!”Fierceness flashed in Zen's eyes. He took a deep breath and contracted his ribs. Since he hadreached the bone refining level, he could muster his energy to retaliate. He stood still and directedhis energy out like thunder. The ground shook violently, like an explosion. All the servants, includingGrey and Darren covered their ears as a loud pitch followed the tremors.

"Grey Huang! Darren Fang!" Zen shouted. "Even if my uncle, Bryson Luo were here, he wouldn't dareto ask me to be his servant. You two are merely servants in the Luo Clan. You have the guts to be soarrogant? I do not know who gave you the courage to dare to think of such nonsense.”

Zen's power scared Darren and he took a step back. Grey Huang stood still.

Darren had intentionally brought Zen here. His purpose was to let Grey Huang deal with Zen. Whenhe saw Zen's angry face, he knew he was close to success, because Grey's biggest taboo was otherstrying to disrespect him. Zen was definitely in real trouble now.

Grey Huang stood motionlessly. He seemed calm. With narrowed eyes he said, "Zen, do not forgetyour situation now. You are a servant not the young master. Perrin is the young master now. It isyour honor to serve me.”

"Shut up!"

Zen forcibly pushed the servants that had grabbed him.

Grey Huang patiently witnessed Zen's struggle before asking, "Do you want to rebel? In accordancewith the Clan's rules, you will be executed for rebelling.”

Grey had acted in an outrageous way due to his connection to Andrew Luo. He was delusionalenough to believe himself to be equal to a master in the Luo family. Some of these children hadbeen bullied by Grey Huang, but they hadn't retaliated because of his current position.

Grey Huang was unaware of how much he was hated by the people who served him. He was equallyoblivious to the hatred these children felt toward him. Today, someone had decided to teach him alesson.

But...

these children, though young, were capable of understanding that arrogance was related toallegiance and support. Grey Huang had grown arrogant because of his relationship with AndrewLuo,

Although Grey Huang behaved arrogantly in front of other people, when in the presence of thesecond branch and the third branch of the Luo Clan, he behaved in an extremely humble manner.Regardless, it was not appropriate for a slave to beat the steward in this way.

Zen was in big trouble now. Everyone knew that what Zen had done would lead to his death.

Zen slapped Grey a few times before stopping. Grey Huang's face was by now, a bloody and badlymutilated mess. Even his neatly tied hair had become a mess of blood and tissue.

Grey Huang weakly opened his mouth to threaten Zen after his unfortunate beating. "You, you waitand see how..."

Before Grey Huang could finish, Zen slapped him on the face again. Grey Huang fell to the ground.After teaching Grey Huang a lesson, Zen's gaze turned toward Darren.

Upon realizing his fate, Darren could not help but tremble. "Zen Luo, keep in mind that you are justa slave.” Darren yelled and stepped backwards.

"What's wrong with being a slave?” Zen stalked Darren slowly as he spoke.

"Don't you dare to offend me! My position is higher than yours!" Darren shouted in an attempt todeter Zen.

"What is a low position? What is a high position? My family name is Luo. Even though I am a slave,I'm still a Luo! And you forget that my fist is stronger than yours. I am above you! My strength ismore than yours. I am above you! My Kung Fu is better than yours. I am above you!"

Zen forcefully muttered from between clenched teeth as he took meaningful and threatening stepstoward Darren. He lashed out quickly and grabbed Darren. Having reached the bone refining level,Zen had gained more confidence. His strength had grown as well. Zen felt the power run throughhim as he raised his hand to strike Darren.

The slap was so hard, and the sound of the impact so loud that even the onlookers were terrified.Once Zen had beaten Darren, he threw him toward Grey Huang. Both servants screamed in pain astheir bodies collided. Zen lifted his chin in superiority as he said, "Let today be a lesson to you both.Remember to respect other people not just their positions!"

Then he turned around and walked away. The Luo children and servants who had crowded aroundthe three men to watch the spectacle, immediately cleared a path when they saw Zen heading forthe door.00000
