"Heh, do you think I want to interfere? I'm just worried you'll embarrass the nobility of Great Britain," Bowen Delson said, his anger boiling over. He couldn't vent his frustration on Monroe, so he directed it at Jiang Chen instead.
"Kid, you have thirty seconds to get lost. If you're still in front of me after thirty seconds, don't blame me for being rude," Bowen warned darkly, glaring at Jiang Chen. He raised his right hand and glanced at his watch. "Starting now."
Ni Xingyi quickly translated Bowen's words for Jiang Chen. Upon hearing them, Jiang Chen merely smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart. Instead, he walked over to a nearby table, poured himself a drink, and sipped leisurely.
"I've already said I won't dance, so forget about being your partner. Let's have a good chat after the ball ends," Jiang Chen said with a smile as he glanced at Monroe. Throughout the exchange, he completely ignored Bowen.
This infuriated Bowen even more as he stared at his watch. "Ten seconds left, nine seconds..." Bowen counted down, but Jiang Chen ignored him as if he were talking to himself.
"Alright, thirty seconds are up. If you don't leave, I'll help you out," Bowen declared. He was tall and had trained in martial arts since childhood; while he wasn't a Martial Arts Expert, dealing with an ordinary person was still easy for him.
Bowen regarded Jiang Chen as just another ordinary person from Huaxia—thin and weak like a sickly man—so he felt disdainful. The fact that Jiang Chen dismissed him only fueled his desire to cripple him.
As Bowen charged forward with aggression, Jiang Chen quietly unleashed a surge of Spiritual Energy that collided with Bowen's legs. Due to the force of inertia, Bowen stumbled forward and fell hard, landing face-first on the ground and losing several teeth in the process, blood pouring from his mouth.
"Mr. Bowie, how careless of you! You should hurry to the hospital," Qin Xusha said kindly as she stepped forward to help Bowen up in English.
A number of people couldn't help but laugh; Bowen was quite the spectacle—his plans foiled before they even began. No one had seen Jiang Chen's secret maneuvering, so everyone assumed it was just an accident.
Although some suspected Jiang Chen had played tricks, without evidence it was dismissed as mere coincidence.
Mengli Delson rushed to assist her grandson after seeing him fall so badly, quickly having someone help him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Bowen happened to run into Li Wenhou. Both were still puzzled about how they had gotten injured—one had bitten his own tongue off while the other had fallen and knocked out several teeth.
Neither Bowen nor Li Wenhou was worth Jiang Chen's concern; with these two nuisances gone, things were much quieter.
However, while one fly had left, others remained. Many were eager to become Monroe's dance partner, and now Jiang Chen was like a thorn in their side.
Several people began urging Count Smithan to get rid of Jiang Chen. But this time, Count Smithan looked intently at Jiang Chen for a moment before smiling and changing the subject. "Everyone should go dance; since Monroe has chosen her partner, I can only support her."
With the count saying this, although the noble youths were reluctant, they had no choice but to comply; they needed to maintain their gentlemanly demeanor and not appear undignified by continuing to press the issue.
As music began to play, many people stepped onto the dance floor and started dancing.
Most people's attention was still focused on Monroe.
