Chai Xiao hadn't expected Qin Han Chu to be present.
He looked in surprise at Qin Han Chu, who had emerged.
"Could he be this beauty's fiancé?"
"He's quite handsome."
"His attire is too ordinary; financially, he can't compare to the Chai family."
"This is going to be interesting."
The eyes of the onlookers also shifted to Qin Han Chu.
Jin Hailu hadn't anticipated Qin Han Chu appearing here either.
Her expression grew serious once more.
Qin Han Chu had already provoked the Su and Han families; he absolutely couldn't afford to provoke the Chai family as well.
"Are you Qin Han Chu?"
Chai Xiao looked at Qin Han Chu with arrogance.
"Mhm, that's me," Qin Han Chu nodded casually.
"The Han Group has already issued a red bounty in the black market. You should know how dangerous your situation is."
"If you give up your engagement with Hailu, I can help you plead with the Han Group to spare your life."
With that, Chai Xiao潇洒ly took out his e-cigarette and took a puff.
"Do you think I'm afraid of the Han Group?"
In the eyes of others, Qin Han Chu was merely an insignificant figure with no background.
Even if he displayed remarkable martial prowess, these wealthy individuals wouldn't feel any fear towards him.
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin. You'll soon realize how laughable your arrogance is," Chai Xiao sneered.
Qin Han Chu walked up to Chai Xiao and asked with a light chuckle, "Stop with the nonsense. Weren't you going to send me to meet Buddha?"
"Don't get entangled with them. Let's go."
Although Qin Han Chu was smiling, his words were a provocation to Chai Xiao.
Jin Hailu didn't want to see Qin Han Chu clash with Chai Xiao. She grabbed Qin Han Chu's wrist, intending to lead him away.
"You think I..."
As Chai Xiao spoke, an intense sense of danger washed over Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu's gaze turned icy. He raised his hand and grabbed behind him.
Immediately, he caught a sharp crossbow bolt in his hand.
Someone was actually trying to assassinate him with a crossbow bolt!
"Damn, catching a crossbow bolt with bare hands!"
"That's incredibly powerful; his danger perception is immense."
"He's definitely a martial artist of at least eighth-grade, otherwise, he couldn't have done that."
Qin Han Chu's action startled everyone around him.
They hadn't expected Qin Han Chu, at his young age, to be so formidable.
He could even catch a crossbow bolt flying from the shadows!
Logically, it would be a martial arts prodigy for Qin Han Chu to reach the fifth-grade level at his age.
The appearance of the crossbow bolt made Chai Xiao laugh heartily, "The Han Group's revenge has arrived. I hope you can still see tomorrow's sun."
"You think these tactics can kill me?"
"You're underestimating me too much."
The moment his voice fell, Qin Han Chu suddenly flung the crossbow bolt in his hand.
Bang!
A metallic clash echoed as two crossbow bolts fell to the ground.
This scene shocked everyone again.
This was too incredible.
A crossbow bolt thrown by hand managed to block a crossbow bolt fired by a crossbow.
In a distant room, the assassin holding the crossbow bolt stared in shock at Qin Han Chu.
He hadn't expected his sneak attack to fail.
Seeing Qin Han Chu still standing in place, the assassin reloaded his crossbow.
But at that moment, his neck suddenly felt an icy chill.
Before he could react, his eyes turned bloody red.
"Seeking death!" Wan Tong wiped the blood from her dagger and then left the room.
On the pedestrian street, Jin Hailu finally came to her senses. She shouted at Qin Han Chu, "Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"
"It's fine, the assassin is gone."
When the assassin fired the first bolt, Wan Tong had already gone to the assassin's location.
Qin Han Chu trusted Wan Tong's strength; the assassin was no match for her.
"This is just the beginning. The Han Group will definitely not let you live."
Chai Xiao was extremely frustrated. He hadn't expected Qin Han Chu to be so powerful.
Despite the assassin's continuous sneak attacks with crossbow bolts, Qin Han Chu remained unharmed.
His strength was simply too great.
Although he had guards protecting him, his guards were definitely no match for Qin Han Chu.
"Weren't you going to make a move? I'm waiting!" Qin Han Chu asked Chai Xiao.
"With the Han Group making a move, isn't it better to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"
Chai Xiao wasn't foolish. If he made a move against Qin Han Chu now, he would be the one at a disadvantage.
With so many people watching, he didn't want to embarrass himself.
"That's a reasonable point, but I fear that day is far off."
"As long as I'm alive, you'd best not harass Hailu, or I'll make you die first."
With that, Qin Han Chu took Jin Hailu's hand and walked forward.
Jin Hailu felt the warmth of Qin Han Chu's palm, and a blush crept onto her usually cold face.
"Wait for me." Seeing them leave, Jin Hailu's best friend quickly chased after them.
"Let's see how long you can be arrogant!" Chai Xiao angrily kicked away the roses on the ground.
...
"Handsome, my name is Xia Qiangwei. It's a pleasure to meet you!" After leaving the pedestrian street, Xia Qiangwei smiled and greeted Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu smiled and shook her hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you too. You know my name, right?"
"Absolutely." Xia Qiangwei had a very outgoing personality. She smiled and said, "You're amazing, catching even a crossbow bolt."
"The assassin was just too weak," Qin Han Chu replied.
"May I be so bold as to ask, what grade martial artist are you?" Xia Qiangwei was also a martial artist herself. Although she was a year older than Qin Han Chu, she was only a fourth-grade martial artist.
"What do you think?" Qin Han Chu asked back.
Xia Qiangwei pondered seriously and said, "At least mid-eighth grade!"
"Mhm, your assessment is quite accurate."
Qin Han Chu's strength was far beyond eighth grade.
But he didn't want to reveal his true cultivation, so he went along with Xia Qiangwei's words.
"You're truly incredible. I'm only late fourth grade," Xia Qiangwei said with a hint of frustration. "It's really incomparable."
"You two are chatting so well, would you like to find a place to talk properly?" Jin Hailu said indifferently.
"Are you feeling jealous?"
"Don't worry, we're best friends. I won't steal your man."
Xia Qiangwei said with a bright laugh.
"He's not my man yet," Jin Hailu replied.
Xia Qiangwei pointed at Jin Hailu's hand, "Do you think I'm blind?"
It was only then that Jin Hailu realized she was still holding Qin Han Chu's hand.
Jin Hailu, snapping back to reality, quickly withdrew her hand.
Qin Han Chu was also a bit embarrassed. He hadn't done it intentionally.
He had simply forgotten for a moment.
"The Han Group has already made a move against you. You should leave Island City quickly," Jin Hailu said very seriously.
"It doesn't matter. They can't harm me," Qin Han Chu replied casually.
"I'm not joking. Even if you are an eighth-grade martial artist, it's still dangerous." Jin Hailu was a bit annoyed by Qin Han Chu's casual attitude.
Qin Han Chu knew Jin Hailu was worried about his safety. He said, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life."
Hearing this, Jin Hailu was somewhat speechless.
"By the way, has Old Madam Jin asked you to return to the Golden Lion Group?" Qin Han Chu asked, changing the subject.
