Chapter 890 Who Do You Think You Are!
"Young man, to tell you the truth, I'm not taking this three hundred thousand anymore. On top of that, you have to provide me with an additional month of security services." Cao Junda said with a smile.
"Mr. Cao, isn't this going too far?" Zhang Zichen immediately said in a deep voice upon hearing this.
Cao Junda suddenly let out a sinister laugh and said, "Too far? I think it is a bit too much. How about this, if you let me slap you, I can guarantee to give you the money."
These words were clearly even more excessive.
Zhang Zichen gritted his teeth, but he thought about how this deal was negotiated by him. If he couldn't get the money back, the loss would be too great!
"Alright..."
*Slap!*
Cao Junda directly slapped him. This slap was delivered with great force, leaving Zhang Zichen dizzy.
The people around were furious and almost rushed forward to fight, but Zhang Zichen stopped them: "Everyone, stand down!"
He knew that Cao Junda had deep connections and was not someone to be easily offended.
"Mr. Cao, is that good enough now?"
Zhang Zichen endured the pain and squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth.
Cao Junda shook his numb hand and chuckled, "I don't think it's satisfying enough. If you let me slap you again, I might consider it..."
Zhang Zichen's face turned extremely ugly. He knew that Cao Junda was playing him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Cao, are you toying with me?"
"Fool, you only realize it now? I'm playing with you! So what if I'm playing with you? Do you dare to hit me? I'm telling you, you can't afford to offend my connections!"
Cao Junda laughed heartily, with a look of contempt.
Zhang Zichen, being so humiliated, was completely enraged. He originally wanted to lash out, but Cao Junda's words poured cold water on him, making him instantly calm down.
Yes, this person had power and influence, so how could he afford to offend him?
"Useless, you don't even dare to resist. Xuanji Hall is probably nothing special... Pathetic Xuanji Hall, I think you should just close down and be done with it!"
Cao Junda extended his hand, and his entourage immediately rushed to offer him a cigar. He then picked up a lighter and lit it for Cao Junda.
He took a big puff, blew out a smoke ring with great affectation, and condescendingly surveyed the people from Xuanji Hall, including Zhang Zichen.
Hearing this, Zhang Zichen's suppressed rage instantly flared up again!
He could be insulted, but Xuanji Hall could not.
"This matter is purely my personal action and has nothing to do with Xuanji Hall!"
Zhang Zichen shouted and slapped Cao Junda across the face.
Although he was a university student who had only recently graduated and hadn't practiced martial arts, he often trained with the masters of Xuanji Hall, so he had considerable strength in his hands.
This slap not only knocked out two of Cao Junda's teeth, but also sent the cigar flying out of his mouth, causing him to stumble forward.
If it weren't for the entourage standing beside him, Cao Junda would have fallen face first onto the ground.
The entire place fell silent!
"You damn… dare to hit me…"
Cao Junda clutched his face, looked at the teeth that had fallen onto the ground, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
"This matter is purely my personal action and has nothing to do with Xuanji Hall."
Zhang Zichen said firmly.
"Personal action? You think highly of yourself. I'm telling you, I will not only destroy your family, but I will also bankrupt Xuanji Hall!!"
Cao Junda clenched his fists, his eyes emitting a murderous glare.
Zhang Zichen's heart trembled. He hadn't expected Cao Junda to disregard all rules. He had already stated that it had nothing to do with Xuanji Hall, but this guy was still relentless.
"Guards, arrest him!"
Cao Junda waved his hand.
The people behind him all stood up.
The people from Xuanji Hall naturally refused to stand by and watch and were about to charge forward. They were numerous and their momentum was like a rainbow, making Cao Junda's men turn pale. It was obviously not easy to arrest someone in front of Xuanji Hall!
However, Zhang Zichen said, "Everyone, I know you mean well. This is my own business. I thank you all here."
The crowd remained silent for a moment, and finally, at Zhang Zichen's persuasion, they stopped their actions.
Although they were unwilling, they also understood the gravity of the situation. If they were to act, Cao Junda's associates would surely retaliate, and the situation would become complicated.
"Kid, you're a good fellow. I'll make sure you die a quick death." Cao Junda stared at Zhang Zichen and said coldly.
Zhang Zichen looked up and said, "Whether you kill or torture me, I'll accept it!"
Cao Junda tilted his chin. "Take him away!"
Cao Junda's subordinates arrogantly pushed aside the people from Xuanji Hall and charged towards Zhang Zichen.
Just then, a mocking voice rang out: "You want to touch someone from my Xuanji Hall? Did you ask me first?"
The crowd parted, and Chen Xuan walked through the crowd with measured steps.
Seeing Chen Xuan, all the Xuanji Hall members felt as if they had been injected with a strong stimulant and instantly became excited.
"Mr. Chen! He's bullying people, you have to do something!"
A group of people surrounded him, babbling to Chen Xuan to explain the situation and begging him to save Zhang Zichen.
Meanwhile, Cao Junda frowned and sized Chen Xuan up and down.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Alright, alright, I already know about this. Don't worry, as long as our Xuanji Hall people are in the right, no one can touch anyone from Xuanji Hall, and no one can arrest people in front of Xuanji Hall!"
Hearing this, everyone became excited.
"But Mr. Chen, this guy has powerful connections..." Zhang Zichen hesitated for a moment and said softly.
"We'll settle the score later!"
Chen Xuan glared at Zhang Zichen helplessly.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Zichen was truly thinking of Xuanji Hall and Chen Xuan, but in Chen Xuan's eyes, this was clearly looking down on him!
How could his people be bullied like this?
Cao Junda stepped forward and sneered, "Kid, who do you think you are pretending to be? Let me tell you, it's not just you showing up, even if Yang Chaotian himself came, he wouldn't dare say such a thing."
Chen Xuan said mockingly, "Old man, you seem quite capable?"
"To be honest, within the territory of Jiangnan Province's capital, I have the power to decide the life and death of your Xuanji Hall!"
Cao Junda stood with his hands on his hips, his chin raised arrogantly, his nostrils practically pointing to the sky.
The response to Cao Junda was—
*Bang!*
No one saw it clearly before Cao Junda was kicked by Chen Xuan and sent flying backward, hitting the wall with a bang.
"Who do you think you are!" Chen Xuan said dismissively.
Everyone around gasped in shock. No one had expected Chen Xuan to also hit Cao Junda.
Even Cao Junda himself was stunned. He had powerful connections. Even if he couldn't walk sideways in Jiangnan Province, at least everyone had to give him some face.
But today, Zhang Zichen slapped him, and then Chen Xuan kicked him away!
These two instances of humiliation pushed Cao Junda's rage to its peak!
"You dog, you're seeking death! Go, go, go, kill him for me!"
Cao Junda got up from the ground with difficulty, hopping and shouting.
His men immediately rushed forward, but before they could even make a move, they were all taken down by the people from Xuanji Hall.
Cao Junda's men were already limited in their strength, otherwise, they wouldn't have hired Xuanji Hall to be responsible for their security.
Seeing his men lying on the ground, Cao Junda swallowed hard, turned to look at Chen Xuan, and said coldly, "Kid, do you know what you're doing?"
