The Wu Sect's heritage holds many miraculous arts.
Among them is the Beast Taming Art.
Once this art is performed, one can completely control animals, making them serve their will.
For instance, to bite Huang Mao to death.
And to tear at Kong Yuan's crotch.
Both were at Chen Nan's command.
Chen Nan disliked killing, as it would increase his karma.
Karma, though unseen and unfelt, would directly impact a cultivator's dao heart as their strength grew.
However.
Some people had to die!
Huang Mao, for example.
That man, relying on his patron's power, had no regard for ordinary people's lives.
Only his death could escalate the matter, thus preventing more people from suffering persecution!
------
In the evening.
Chen Nan followed Chen Xia Zhi to the 2046 Bar.
The purpose of their visit was simple: to process her resignation and collect her salary for the previous month.
Though it was only a little over eight hundred yuan, it was still earned through Chen Xia Zhi's labor.
After waiting in the bar for over ten minutes.
Chen Xia Zhi emerged from the manager's office with tear-filled eyes and a flushed red face.
"What's that palm print on your face?"
Chen Nan was furious.
"It's nothing, brother, let's go!" Chen Xia Zhi, holding Chen Nan's hand tightly, walked out of the bar without looking back.
"Xia Zhi, your brother isn't an idiot." Chen Nan broke free from Chen Xia Zhi's grasp and said angrily, "Did someone hit you?"
"So what if I hit her?"
A furious roar accompanied the appearance of Liu Tian Hong, who stormed out of the office.
He was about 1.8 meters tall.
Bald.
Wearing a white shirt.
However, his chest was stained with coffee, making him look somewhat disheveled.
"Block the door, don't let these siblings leave!" Liu Tian Hong commanded the bar's bouncers.
Instantly, over a dozen bouncers blocked the exit.
Chen Nan's expression turned cold: "I'm not asking why you hit my sister, but I can tell you responsibly, you have two choices today: either break your own arm, or I'll cripple your limbs. Choose one!"
Despite the overwhelming numbers against him, in his eyes, they were merely common thugs, posing no threat.
"Young man, why are you so arrogant? This is 2046, this is our territory. Do you think you're tired of living to speak to Brother Liu like that?" A bouncer, holding a baseball bat, had a playful smile on his face.
"If he wants to die, we can grant him his wish!"
The bouncers all had ferocious expressions.
Liu Tian Hong sneered, "Your sister made the first move. If she hadn't splashed coffee on me, why would I have slapped her?"
"You were the one who took advantage of me first," Chen Xia Zhi said, her voice trembling with nervousness but her eyes still filled with anger. "You said you wouldn't give me my salary of over eight hundred yuan unless I spent the night with you, and then you reached out and touched me!"
Liu Tian Hong lit a cigarette and said arrogantly, "Letting you spend a night with me is doing you a favor. Do you know how many people want to share a bed with me? Why are you so unappreciative?"
"Being unappreciative is one thing, but splashing coffee on me is slapping me in the face!"
"Unforgivable!"
As he spoke, a contemplative glint flashed in Liu Tian Hong's eyes. "However, I'm willing to give you a way out now. As long as you lie on the bar counter and let me push my car, I'll let you siblings go."
"Not only that, but I'll also pay you your salary for last month."
"Otherwise, I will definitely have someone break your brother's arms and legs!"
In truth, Liu Tian Hong had harbored ill intentions towards Chen Xia Zhi for a long time.
But because Chen Xia Zhi only worked part-time and not every day, his opportunities were limited.
Upon learning that she was leaving to study, Liu Tian Hong could no longer control his desires.
In his opinion, Chen Xia Zhi would surely comply.
After all, she couldn't just watch her brother's limbs be broken, could she?
But at this very moment.
Chen Nan moved.
He appeared before Liu Tian Hong like a phantom.
He placed a hand on Liu Tian Hong's head and slammed it hard onto a nearby table.
The tempered glass shattered with a crack.
Liu Tian Hong's head began to bleed profusely, a gruesome sight.
The bouncers in the bar were all stunned.
They had never imagined that Chen Nan would act without a word.
And his aura was terrifying.
Even though this was their turf, the bouncers felt an immense pressure.
"Come on, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Would you say it again?" Chen Nan grabbed Liu Tian Hong's head, his cold gaze like a venomous serpent.
"Go to hell!"
Liu Tian Hong roared, attempting to retaliate.
Unfortunately.
Chen Nan gave him no chance.
He threw him to the ground and stepped on his chest.
The sound of bone breaking was not loud.
But at this moment, it sounded like a thunderclap.
The bouncers who had charged forward to attack Chen Nan instinctively stopped in their tracks.
Their scalps tingled, and they were utterly terrified, not daring to move a step closer.
"Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, please, for the sake of mercy, spare my life!"
"I am willing to kowtow and apologize to Miss Chen, and I will pay her salary for last month."
Liu Tian Hong's composure completely shattered, his voice filled with unease.
He had seen ruthless people before.
But he had never encountered someone as fearless as Chen Nan!
He had no doubt that if his men had taken another step forward, the other party would have crushed him to death.
Chen Nan chuckled, "Of course, I didn't intend to take your life. I just wanted to break your arms and legs. After all, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
With that, he angrily picked up a chair and smashed it hard onto Liu Tian Hong's arms and legs.
Liu Tian Hong's body convulsed, and the ground beneath him was stained with blood.
The intense pain drove him to the brink of collapse, but gritting his teeth and refraining from a single sound was his last vestige of masculine pride.
Chen Nan casually dropped the blood-stained chair. "Xia Zhi, how much does he owe you in wages?"
"Eight hundred and twenty-six!" Chen Xia Zhi swallowed nervously.
She realized her brother had changed.
He had become incredibly brutal!
Terrifying!
Unfamiliar!
"Get the money, hurry up and get the money, a thousand," Liu Tian Hong shouted at the cashier.
"No!" Chen Nan looked in the direction of the cashier. "Not a cent less of what belongs to my sister, and we won't take any more. Just give my sister eight hundred and twenty-six!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The cashier quickly found eight hundred and twenty-six yuan and tremblingly handed it to Chen Xia Zhi.
After receiving the money, Chen Xia Zhi said nervously, "Brother, shouldn't we leave quickly?"
She feared that something might happen if they stayed.
Suddenly.
A suave voice rang out, "You injure my people, and you think you can just walk away?"
