The headquarters of the Hu Group was located in Jiangcheng's most prosperous business district.
During lunchtime, only a few security guards remained in the lobby.
"Chairman!"
Just then, the security guards suddenly saw Mr. and Mrs. Hu Zhicheng hurrying out of the elevator.
Immediately after, the Hu Group's escorts rushed over from the direction of the staff canteen.
"Honey, what exactly is happening?" Hu Zhicheng's wife was still unaware of the situation.
She only knew that Hu Zhicheng had received a phone call and then, filled with grief and anger, had rushed downstairs.
Hu Zhicheng clenched his fists, his eyes red, and said, "The escort from Xiao Yue has sent word that… that Xiao Yue has been killed!"
"What?"
"How could this happen?"
Hu Yue's mother stumbled, nearly fainting.
"How should I know?" Hu Zhicheng retorted angrily, "That killer is coming, clearly not showing us any respect."
Just as Hu Yue's mother was about to speak, two cars pulled up in front of the company.
The car doors opened, and Hu Yue's body was carried out.
Immediately after, Tang Chuan's car also stopped.
"Son!" Seeing Hu Yue's body, Mr. and Mrs. Hu Zhicheng wept with old tears.
"Where is the killer?" Hu Zhicheng roared at Hu Yue's escort.
Qin Hanchu stepped out of the car and smiled, "Right here."
Mr. and Mrs. Hu Zhicheng's furious gazes fell upon Qin Hanchu.
"Who are you? Why did you kill my son?" Hu Zhicheng bellowed.
Qin Hanchu pointed at Tang Siwei and said, "Your son provoked someone he shouldn't have. It's as simple as that."
"You killed my son, I want you to pay with your life!"
"Kill him for me!"
Hu Yue's mother shrieked.
The escorts beside her heard the command and immediately attacked Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu smiled and met them.
Bang bang…
The Hu Group's escorts were sent flying backward one by one.
Soon, they were all lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Hu Zhicheng roared and personally attacked.
Qin Hanchu was surprised to find that Hu Zhicheng was actually a peak eighth-grade martial artist.
"Die for me!"
Hu Zhicheng instantly appeared before Qin Hanchu, his fist whistling through the air as it struck Qin Hanchu's chest.
Qin Hanchu sneered and met the punch with his own.
*Crack!*
"Ah!"
The two fists collided in mid-air. Hu Zhicheng felt an agonizing pain and then heard the sound of his own bones shattering.
With a single punch, his right hand was crippled!
"You… you're ninth grade!" Hu Zhicheng stared at Qin Hanchu in disbelief.
He had initially thought Qin Hanchu was only at the early ninth grade, but he never expected that Qin Hanchu, at such a young age, had reached the ninth-grade realm!
To cripple him with one punch, he had to be at least mid-ninth grade!
"Now you can die," Qin Hanchu said.
"You're not qualified to kill me," Hu Zhicheng said, looking behind Qin Hanchu, a resentful laugh escaping his lips.
Qin Hanchu turned his head and saw a Cullinan SUV rushing towards them.
"You've called for backup?" Qin Hanchu sneered.
"Heaven has not abandoned me, which is why Master Wang is coming today," Hu Zhicheng said, enduring the intense pain, laughing almost maniacally.
Master Wang?
Qin Hanchu chuckled, "Is he very powerful?"
"Master Wang is a peak ninth-grade expert, and he's also the personal guard of the Administrator. Do you think he's powerful?"
"You killed my son, you crippled my arm!"
"Even if you're a martial arts prodigy, you'll be nipped in the bud today!"
Hu Zhicheng said viciously.
"The Administrator's personal guard!"
Hearing this, Tang Chuan and Tang Siwei's eyes were filled with terror.
The Administrator was a being of immense nobility.
Even his guards were not people they could afford to provoke.
Furthermore, the opponent was a peak ninth-grade expert.
Although Tang Chuan and his daughter were ordinary people, they knew how terrifying a peak ninth-grade expert was.
"Qin Hanchu, take Siwei and leave quickly. Don't confront them head-on," Tang Chuan hurriedly said, opening the car door.
"Trying to leave? It's too late now!" Hu Yue's mother said angrily.
Tang Siwei looked at Qin Hanchu and saw that his expression was calm, showing no signs of panic.
This demeanor clearly indicated he had everything under control.
"Do we need to escape?" Qin Hanchu said contemptuously, "Even if your Administrator comes, I won't be afraid. Do you believe that?"
"Arrogant fool! Let's see how long you can be so boastful!" Hu Zhicheng said, clutching his wrist.
Qin Hanchu waved his hand, and the Tianlong trio walked over from nearby.
The three brothers had removed their masks, showing their true faces.
Previously, they wore masks to guard against the Sword Edge Bureau, as they were all assassins from the Blade organization.
But things were different now. Wang Dalu had rescinded the warrants for the five of them, so there was no need to act with masks.
As for the Blade organization, Qin Hanchu didn't care.
Even if they knew that Old Ghost and the other four had surrendered to Qin Hanchu, so what?
If they dared to seek revenge, they would be slaves delivered to his doorstep!
Qin Hanchu was already preparing to visit the Blade organization's headquarters. By then, the entire Blade organization would have to submit to Qin Hanchu's command.
As the Tianlong trio stopped, Master Wang's car pulled up.
The car door opened, and a man who appeared to be in his fifties stepped out.
Master Wang looked only in his fifties, but he was actually in his sixties.
"Old Hu, what happened?"
Seeing Hu Yue's body and Hu Zhicheng's injured wrist, Master Wang asked in surprise.
"Master Wang, this person killed my son and injured my husband. You must seek justice for us!" Hu Yue's mother cried out piteously, her voice filled with grief.
Hu Zhicheng endured the pain and said, "Master Wang, don't be fooled by his young age; he is a ninth-grade martial artist. I am no match for him."
Master Wang looked at Qin Hanchu in surprise. "You're ninth grade?"
"Is there a problem?" Qin Hanchu asked with a smile.
"To possess such strength at such a young age, your family must have spent a fortune on you!"
"Tell me, which noble family do you belong to!"
Master Wang suppressed his inner shock and asked coldly.
"I don't belong to any noble family," Qin Hanchu replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Master Wang's gaze turned icy. "If you don't tell me, don't blame me for not showing respect."
"Is your respect worth much?"
"I advise you, you are not qualified to interfere in this matter. It's still not too late to get lost!"
Qin Hanchu said indifferently.
"Youthful arrogance! Today, I will discipline you on behalf of your elders!"
Master Wang was a peak ninth-grade expert and the personal confidant of the Administrator.
Even young masters from noble families had to show him courtesy.
Qin Hanchu's blatant arrogance had enraged him.
"Master Wang, if you cripple him, I will reward you handsomely!" Hu Zhicheng quickly said.
Hearing this, Master Wang's eyes lit up.
Hu Zhicheng had always been generous with his money.
Master Wang walked towards Qin Hanchu step by step and said coldly, "Are you sure you won't reveal your identity? Once we fight, you won't have a chance to beg for mercy!"
"If you want to fight my master, you'll have to get past me first!" Di Hu sneered and stepped forward.
Master Wang's eyes were cold. "Very well, I'll first see how much skill you, this dog slave, possess!"
