"Hahaha, I've been in the underworld of Dachang City for many years. You're the first person to threaten me, Jin Sanyuan, like this. I really didn't expect you, a mere security guard, to be so fearless of death. I underestimated you just now."
Jin Sanyuan was so enraged by Chu Lingtian's words that he laughed mockingly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Chu Lingtian glanced at Liu Huohuo, whom he was holding in his left arm. This little enchantress had drunk some drugged wine and now didn't even have the strength to stand on her own feet, having completely passed out.
With Liu Huohuo unconscious, Chu Lingtian had no more reservations. He had been worried that if he directly incapacitated Jin Sanyuan and his men with his formidable combat power, Liu Huohuo might suspect his true identity.
Liu Huohuo, this bewitching and playful woman, was not truly brainless despite her alluring charm. On the contrary, she was quite intelligent. She had already doubted whether Chu Lingtian and Liu Bingxue's relationship was genuine.
Now that Liu Huohuo was unconscious, Chu Lingtian no longer had to worry about his true strength being exposed and raising her suspicions about his real identity. He also didn't need to worry about Liu Huohuo telling Liu Bingxue about these matters.
Chu Lingtian completely ignored Jin Sanyuan's murderous gaze. His face was cold, and his eyes were chilling as he said,
"I've already told you, I'll give you and your men three seconds to kowtow and apologize to me, and promise to never bother me and Liu Huohuo again. I'm counting down now, three..."
"Two..."
"F*ck you! You, a mere security guard, dare to threaten me even as death approaches! Go, cripple this little bastard's hands and feet first, then I'll torture him slowly!"
Jin Sanyuan was furious. As he spoke, he vigorously waved his right hand towards the four burly bodyguards inside the room.
Whoosh!
The four burly bodyguards, all holding sharp knives, charged towards Chu Lingtian.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
Chu Lingtian simply kicked out four times with his right foot, and all four burly bodyguards were kicked to their knees before him. Not a single one had the strength to get up and attack him anymore.
In an instant, Jin Sanyuan, who had been sitting on the sofa enjoying the service of two beauties and anticipating a good show, stood up from the sofa in sheer terror.
He had never dreamed that his four personal burly bodyguards, each with combat power even greater than Da Xiong's, would be completely incapacitated by Chu Lingtian with just four simple kicks.
"Kneel down, apologize to me, and swear you will never bother me and Liu Huohuo again."
Chu Lingtian stared at Jin Sanyuan with eyes as sharp as knives.
Jin Sanyuan was greatly alarmed and panicked. But then his gaze turned fierce, and he reached behind him.
Swish!
Chu Lingtian, quick as lightning, grabbed a fruit knife from the glass coffee table and hurled it at Jin Sanyuan.
Thwack!
Jin Sanyuan's right hand had just touched the gun behind him when it was pierced by the fruit knife.
"Ah..."
The sudden surge of pain made Jin Sanyuan scream. His subconscious reaction caused the gun in his hand to fall to the ground.
"Who... who exactly are you?"
Jin Sanyuan, gritting his teeth in pain, stared at Chu Lingtian with extreme terror and asked.
"Who I am, you don't need to know, and you're not worthy of knowing!" Chu Lingtian's cold gaze fixed on Jin Sanyuan and he asked again, "Are you kneeling or not? Are you promising or not?"
Thump.
Jin Sanyuan knelt before Chu Lingtian, right in front of the two beautiful women.
Having been in the underworld for decades, he naturally understood the principle of survival – as long as one is alive, there is hope for revenge. Death means nothing.
Furthermore, Jin Sanyuan could see that although Chu Lingtian appeared ordinary and lacking in strength on the surface, he was actually a hidden formidable expert. If he didn't know when to yield and continued to confront Chu Lingtian head-on, he would at least be severely injured, if not killed.
"Brother, I'm sorry. It was I, Jin Sanyuan, who broke the rules and couldn't take losing. I shouldn't have retaliated against you and Liu Huohuo afterward. I swear, I will absolutely never trouble you and Liu Huohuo again."
Jin Sanyuan was a smart man, capable of bending and stretching. He was not a reckless brute. Without hesitation, he kowtowed to Chu Lingtian to apologize and swore the required promise.
"I hope you keep your word. If you don't, you'll be the one to suffer in the end. Take care of yourself."
Chu Lingtian, holding Liu Huohuo in his arms, walked out of the private room.
The dozens of thugs standing outside the door looked fierce and ready to rush in and attack when they saw Chu Lingtian emerge. But Jin Sanyuan's furious roar came from inside:
"Anyone who dares to move, I'll kill him!"
The thugs outside didn't know what had happened inside. Hearing Jin Sanyuan's roar, they exchanged glances and dared not act rashly. They could only watch helplessly as Chu Lingtian walked away with Liu Huohuo.
When a few trusted thugs rushed into the private room, they saw Jin Sanyuan struggling to get up from his kneeling position. They were all shocked and their expressions were disbelieving.
"Master Jin, what... what happened?"
"Damn it, Master Jin, give the order! If we don't kill this brat named Chu tonight, we'll never report back."
"Master Jin, is your hand alright? We'll take you to the hospital right away."
"..."
Several trusted thugs eagerly vied to pledge their loyalty.
But more subordinates were stunned into disbelief by the sight of Jin Sanyuan getting up from his kneeling position.
After all, Jin Sanyuan had been able to operate in both the underworld and legitimate circles of Dachang City for so long due to his own strength and wisdom. He never went anywhere without a gun. Yet, he had been forced to his knees and beg for mercy by a mere security guard like Chu Lingtian. Who would have believed it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?
Jin Sanyuan's gaze was extremely sinister, filled with intense killing intent. He wished he could tear Chu Lingtian limb from limb. He suppressed his rage and said,
"Don't worry, this brat named Chu and I are irreconcilable. I will absolutely not let this go. Prepare the car immediately. Take me to the hospital to get my wound dressed first, and then we'll go find the police chief's house. I refuse to believe that no one in either the underworld or legitimate circles can deal with this Chu Lingtian!"
At this moment, Chu Lingtian walked out of the bar with Liu Huohuo in his arms. However, he felt a bit lost. It was late at night, Liu Huohuo was unconscious, and where should he take this alluring woman with innate charm?
If he took her back to the Liu family, he would have to face Liu Bingxue's parents again, and it would be difficult to explain.
If he took her back to Liu Huohuo's company, no one would be there at this hour.
After much thought, Chu Lingtian, carrying Liu Huohuo, walked into a nearby hotel.
