Upon hearing this.
Luo Tianyou and his two bodyguards, along with the two women serving Daoist Kongji, all looked towards the door.
Accompanied by faint footsteps.
A figure clad in a white T-shirt, jeans, and canvas shoes appeared before everyone.
He walked with his head held high and chest out, his eyes as deep as the starry sky.
He exuded an air of mystery.
"Chen Nan, you truly are walking into hell when heaven offered you a way out!" Luo Tianyou's gaze was sinister, revealing his murderous intent without any pretense.
Chen Nan looked at him calmly, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "Why haven't you gone to pay your taxes? Have you forgotten about me crippling your leg last night?"
"Shut up!"
Luo Tianyou became enraged, "Last night was just an accident, and today, I've invited Senior Kongji from Qingcheng Mountain. If you grovel and repent now, I'll give you a swift end. Otherwise, I'll make you wish for death but find none!"
Chen Nan let out a cold sneer, "So you've invited an expert. You really are incorrigible!"
"But even so, do you think this old geezer can be my opponent?"
"Presumptuous!"
Luo Tianyou roared, "Chen, I don't deny your strength, but Senior Kongji is a renowned expert in the martial world. Don't be disrespectful to him!"
Daoist Kongji's face was filled with ferocity, "Young man, even if you've reached the Grandmaster realm at such a young age, are you too arrogant?"
Chen Nan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Old man, I pity your hardship in cultivation and advise you not to meddle in this mess. If you turn around and leave now, I'll let you live."
"Shut up!" Luo Tianyou's eyes bulged with fury, "Chen, Senior Kongji is a renowned expert, how can you insult him like this? Do you truly believe he wouldn't dare kill you?"
Chen Nan ignored him and looked at Daoist Kongji.
"I've roamed Jizhou for over twenty years, and no one has ever dared to challenge my dignity," Daoist Kongji said with a blank expression as he stood up.
Simultaneously.
The aura of a Grandmaster-level expert spread outwards like a tidal wave.
The two young women turned pale, seemingly not expecting the old man to be so powerful.
Luo Tianyou's two bodyguards were also startled, their faces etched with shock.
It wasn't because they felt the aura of a Grandmaster-level expert.
It was because...
The aura emanating from Daoist Kongji was far less intense than Chen Nan's.
Chen Nan frowned, "So, you prefer a forced confrontation over a polite invitation?"
"It's you who prefers a forced confrontation!" A cold glint flashed in Daoist Kongji's eyes. He instantly appeared before Chen Nan, like a hawk soaring through the sky.
"Die!"
With an angry roar, Daoist Kongji threw a punch at Chen Nan.
Boom!
The fist tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
At the critical moment.
Chen Nan's voice boomed like thunder, "Get lost!"
Before his words had even finished.
To everyone's astonishment, he raised his palm and fiercely slapped Daoist Kongji on the right cheek.
Slap!
The crisp sound of the slap was deafening, like a clap of thunder.
Daoist Kongji's body was sent flying like a cannonball, only stopping when he crashed into the fish tank behind him.
???
Luo Tianyou's eyes widened, a cascade of question marks appearing in his mind.
What the hell!
This was a Grandmaster-level expert.
And he was sent flying by a single slap from Chen Nan?
An illusion!
This must be an illusion!
How could Chen Nan defeat a renowned Grandmaster-level expert?
Just then.
Daoist Kongji, soaked and bleeding from his orifices, knelt on the ground in terror, kowtowing profusely and begging for mercy, "Junior Li Tieniu was blind and offended Senior. I beg Senior to spare my life!"
Although Daoist Kongji was renowned.
The moment Chen Nan slapped him, he clearly realized that this person's strength far surpassed his own.
This person must be at the late or even peak Grandmaster realm.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent flying by a single slap.
Therefore.
If you can't win, it's not shameful to surrender, right?
Luo Tianyou's head buzzed.
Even Daoist Kongji wasn't Chen Nan's match?
And he had to kneel and beg for mercy?
Heavens!
How could this guy be so terrifyingly powerful?
The two bodyguards also turned pale.
Although they had guessed that Chen Nan's strength surpassed Daoist Kongji's, they never expected him to be so overwhelmingly powerful as to crush him.
"I gave you a chance, didn't I? But you didn't cherish it, can you blame me?" Chen Nan changed his tone, "However, I am kind-hearted. Since you've pleaded with me, I naturally won't take your life."
Daoist Kongji was overjoyed.
But Chen Nan's next sentence sent a chill down his spine, "Your capital offense is excused, but your minor offense cannot be escaped. I will cripple your dantian as a punishment!"
Before Daoist Kongji could even react, Chen Nan kicked his dantian.
An excruciating pain, like needles piercing him, rapidly spread from his dantian throughout his entire body.
Although it hurt.
Daoist Kongji was filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life! Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!"
Chen Nan: "You can scram!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Daoist Kongji stood up, clutching his abdomen, and scrambled out of Luo Tianyou's villa.
Blood dripped from the back door as he fled.
Chen Nan casually sat down on the sofa and asked indifferently, "Young Master Luo, isn't it time we settled our account?"
It's over!
I'm screwed!
Luo Tianyou was drenched in cold sweat, slumping on his wheelchair like a puddle of mud.
If he had known this would be the outcome, he would never have invited Daoist Kongji to deal with Chen Nan.
Much less brought this fire upon himself!
Without further thought, he quickly said, "Mr. Chen, I'll pay the two hundred and eighty million for taxes right now!" He took out his phone and dialed someone.
When the call was answered, he said in fear, "Director Han, this is Luo Tianyou. Uh, our company previously evaded taxes by two hundred and eighty million. I'm going to pay it now. Can you release Chen Xiazhi?"
As if recalling Chen Nan's warning from last night, he added, "No, no, no, wait for me for half an hour. I'll go to the tax bureau entrance immediately to welcome Miss Chen. I want to apologize to her in person!"
"Alright, alright, alright, I'm heading over now. Thank you, comrades from the bureau!"
He then hung up the phone, forcing a smile more bitter than tears, "Mr. Chen, I truly was wrong. It's not too late to go to the tax bureau now, is it?"
Chen Nan smiled slightly, "As long as it hasn't been handed over to the judicial department, it's never too late!"
Hearing this, Luo Tianyou finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.
But the next moment, Chen Nan picked up the ashtray from the table and smashed it hard on his other knee.
A pig-like scream erupted from Luo Tianyou's mouth.
The two bodyguards were terrified.
Had this guy gone mad?
Luo Tianyou was willing to pay the two hundred and eighty million, yet he still crippled his other leg?
Didn't he care about the Luo family at all?
Chen Nan: "You remembered to go to the tax bureau entrance to kowtow and apologize to my sister, but you seem to have forgotten another part!"
"I said, I want to see my sister before the tax bureau closes."
"Otherwise, I'll cripple your other leg."
"You can't possibly want me to go back on my word, can you?"
