Xue Dalong looked to be in his forties.
He was only 1.7 meters tall and thin.
With shifty, rat-like eyes, it was clear at a glance that he was no good.
He held a cigar in his mouth, leading over fifty brothers, and appeared menacingly at the entrance of the Fugui Renjia Hotel, directly blocking Chen Nan and the others.
"Sun Sihai, have you grown a bear's heart and a leopard's gall? How dare you beat my Xue Dalong's brother on my turf?" Xue Dalong's eyes held a playful glint.
Sun Sihai was not to be outdone, "Xue, do you truly think I fear you?"
Xue Dalong let out a heavy snort and then turned to Chen Nan, "I heard you hit Miss Pang? Truly, the ignorant know no fear. She is Mr. Pang's darling daughter. Offending her is no different from offending the King of Hell!"
He paused, then continued, "Sun Sihai, I can give you a chance to live. As long as you break his limbs, I will let you leave Xicheng alive."
"Xue Dalong, you overestimate yourself!" Sun Sihai said expressionlessly, "I don't even bother with the likes of you ants."
"Since you refuse the toast and prefer the punishment, then I shall oblige you!" Xue Dalong waved his large hand, and over a dozen fierce and capable brothers stepped forward with mocking smiles.
"I'll do it!"
Lu Jian stepped forward.
The moment Lu Jian stepped forward, Xue Dalong's dozen or so subordinates instinctively stopped, as if facing a great enemy, their faces contorted in fear.
Was Sun Sihai a formidable man?
No!
Sun Sihai owed his current standing primarily to his righteous and loyal character, and to Lu Jian, a second-rate master.
Facing such a master, they were no match.
"No wonder Sun Sihai dares to cause trouble on my Xicheng territory. So it's because brother Lu Jian is out of prison!" Xue Dalong said with a smile, "However, I too have a second-rate master under my command!"
"Let me sample brother Lu's skills."
Wei Jie, with his broad shoulders and sturdy build, strode out.
Xue Dalong smiled, "This is my newly recruited subordinate, Wei Jie. He, like you, has the strength of a second-rate master!"
Lu Jian: "He is no match for me!"
"We'll know if that's true once we fight," Wei Jie roared. He moved like an arrow loosed from a bow, appearing before Lu Jian almost instantly, his fists, the size of sandbags, swinging towards Lu Jian's face.
"Get lost!"
Lu Jian retaliated with a backhand slap!
*Slap!*
The crisp sound of the slap suddenly rang out.
The next moment.
Wei Jie was sent flying like he had been hit by a speeding truck, spitting blood as he arced through the air, crashing heavily onto the ground.
???
???
Xue Dalong and all his subordinates were dumbfounded.
Wasn't Wei Jie a second-rate master?
Why was he so utterly defeated before Lu Jian?
Sun Sihai and the others swallowed hard. They knew first-rate masters were strong, but they never imagined the strength to send a second-rate master flying with a single slap!
"You've broken through to the realm of a first-rate master?"
Wei Jie's chin was tilted, his eyes filled with apprehension, his head spinning.
"What do you think?" Lu Jian said with disdain, "It's not that I look down on you, but I can take on ten guys like you by myself!"
Xue Dalong's expression changed drastically.
He was consumed by envy!
Sun Sihai had truly struck gold, having a first-rate master among his subordinates.
And with their current strength, they were no match for a first-rate master.
After recovering his senses, Xue Dalong said, "Sun Sihai, you may leave. I will pretend today's events never happened."
Although Wang Kai was his brother, he felt it was unnecessary to risk offending Sun Sihai for revenge; it was not a rational move.
"If you're scared, just say so. No need for such grand pronouncements," Sun Sihai spat out fiercely.
"Be sensible and take your men and get lost," Xue Dalong said, suppressing his anger. "However, the young man beside you hit Miss Pang. I must cripple him to appease Miss Pang!"
Sun Sihai sneered, "What if I don't leave?"
"Are you trying to make an enemy of Young Master Luo?" Xue Dalong asked, his face darkening, bringing up Luo Tianyou.
Sun Sihai burst into laughter, "If you weren't Luo Tianyou's dog, I wouldn't have hit you. But since you are his subordinate, I must break your dog legs!"
Xue Dalong frowned, "What do you mean?"
Sun Sihai: "This is Mr. Chen's wish."
Chen Nan's face was grim, "Luo Tianyou framed my sister, leaving her with a debt of 280 million. Since you're his dog, I'll break your dog legs first, and then I'll settle with him."
Xue Dalong said angrily, "Sun Sihai, are you truly going to offend Young Master Luo for him? You know how influential Young Master Luo is. It's easy for him to deal with you."
Sun Sihai sneered, "Do you think I fear him?"
Although he was wary of Luo Tianyou, he was willing to serve Chen Nan loyally.
Chen Nan said, "You don't need to get involved in my affairs."
"Did you hear that? He doesn't want your involvement, you're being presumptuous!" Xue Dalong laughed loudly.
If Sun Sihai insisted on protecting Chen Nan today, he would be helpless, as Lu Jian's strength was evident; even if all of them attacked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.
But now.
Chen Nan told him not to interfere, wasn't that digging his own grave?
Sun Sihai pouted.
Did Xue Dalong really think he could defeat Master Chen if he didn't intervene?
Lu Jian, standing nearby, sighed inwardly.
Everyone else picks on the soft ones, but you're directly going for the hot diamond!
"You two, go break his legs," Xue Dalong signaled to two subordinates.
"Yes!"
The two men, holding baseball bats, rushed towards Chen Nan.
But before they could swing their bats, Chen Nan raised his right foot and kicked them in the chest with lightning speed.
*Thump thump!*
With two dull thuds, the two middle-aged men were sent flying several meters away, falling unconscious upon landing.
Xue Dalong roared, "Attack together!"
"Take your lives!"
The subordinates Xue Dalong brought with him yelled, creating a shocking scene.
Chen Nan, however, stood unmoving.
Anyone who approached him was kicked away.
A group of ants was not worthy of him using his hands; his feet were enough.
In a moment, all of Xue Dalong's subordinates were on the ground, groaning and wailing.
Xue Dalong's blood ran cold. Was this bastard this strong?
Sun Sihai saw Xue Dalong's shock and let out a schadenfreude laugh, "Why do you think I respect Mr. Chen so much? Isn't it because his strength is extraordinary?"
"Let alone you, even my brother Lu Jian is no match for Mr. Chen!"
Xue Dalong almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Why didn't you say so earlier?
Before he could react, Chen Nan kicked a baseball bat flying.
The baseball bat whistled through the air and struck Xue Dalong's left knee.
A heart-wrenching scream echoed under the scorching sun, chilling and terrifying!
