Chapter 106: Extremely Arrogant

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Extremely Arrogant

With Li Chenqian backing him up, he wasn’t scared at all.

In all of Yuncheng City, was there anyone with a higher status than the City Lord?

"Zhang Yaqing, you’d better think this through. Young Master Li has already given you a way out, so don’t be ungrateful. It’s an honor for you that I’m willing to play with you!" he sneered. "Don’t think your Zhang Family is so impressive in Yuncheng City. In front of us, you’re as fragile as paper dolls! Stop testing my limits!"

Zhang Yaqing’s expression was cold as she looked at Li Chenqian. "Young Master Li, is this what you call justice?"

Li Chenqian spoke blandly, "I am merely offering a chance for reconciliation. Whether or not you seize this opportunity is up to you, Miss Zhang."

"So you’re all just cut from the same cloth. Get lost, or you’re next," Chen Xiao said with cold contempt.

"Are you sure?" Li Chenqian was losing face.

How could this guy be so ungrateful? I was already being merciful! If I really decided to press the issue, could he walk out of here in one piece? I, Li Chenqian, am giving the Zhang Family a way out, and giving Chen Xiao a chance!

Chen Xiao spat out a single, cold word, "Scram."

This was not mere bravado on Chen Xiao’s part; he truly had the confidence to back it up. He had a naturally fearless personality, and with his Eldest Senior Sister supporting him, why would he fear a couple of spoiled brats?

To everyone else, however, Chen Xiao’s words were unbelievably reckless.

Li Chenqian’s face had turned as black as coal. Although he was considered one of the more calculating scions of the elite, even he couldn’t stop his anger from flaring at Chen Xiao’s audacity. "In Yuncheng City, no one dares to speak to me like that!"

Xu Baian fanned the flames from the side, continuing to instigate, "Young Master Li, this guy assaulted someone and is still acting this arrogantly! This is a complete disregard for the law! I suggest we call the Patrol Detachment to arrest him right now! If he dares resist arrest, we’ll treat him as a terrorist and execute him on the spot!"

The more Zhang Yaqing heard, the graver her expression became.

If things escalate to that point, no one can handle the fallout!

After all, the power wielded by people like Li Chenqian was beyond their imagination. No matter how capable Chen Xiao was, he couldn’t stand against those who held true authority. No one could contend with beings of that level.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yaqing gritted her teeth and said, "Young Master Xu, I was in the wrong earlier. I apologize. The Zhang Family is willing to pay ten million in compensation for your emotional distress."

"So you know when to back down?" Xu Baian grew smug again, wiping the water from his face. "Ten million? Zhang Yaqing, do you take me for a beggar? I’ve never been so humiliated in my entire life!"

"I already told you. Spend a week with me. If I have a good time, maybe I’ll let bygones be bygones.

"As for other compensation... I’m not asking for much. I saw that your new project looks pretty good, and I happen to want a stake. I’ll take seventy percent of the profits, and I’ll handle all the paperwork for you!

"You only get one chance. Make your choice."

"Xu Baian! Do you have to be so ruthless?" Zhang Yaqing’s fists clenched tightly. "How is this any different from robbery! And you want me to keep you company? In your dreams!" Just looking at Xu Baian’s greasy face made her want to throw up.

Xu Baian sneered. "Young Master Li, it seems these two aren’t willing to reconcile. In that case, let’s do this by the book. We’ll have them sent to the Patrol Detachment for assault. Once you’re in there, I have a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead!"

He looked at them as if their fates were already sealed.

Zhang Yaqing’s chest heaved. Although she was a capable leader of the Zhang Family’s younger generation and a force to be reckoned with in the business world, this was her first time dealing with such people. For the first time, she felt utterly powerless. To them, ruining her and Chen Xiao was as easy as speaking a few words, and she had no way to fight back. Her only options were to obey or be crushed.

Li Chenqian nodded. "Since you are unwilling to reconcile, then I can only enforce justice imparti—"

Before he could finish, Chen Xiao’s palm had already struck his face.

"That’s for taking sides!"

"That’s for twisting the truth!"

"That’s for acting tough!"

"I told you to get lost!"

A series of sharp slaps echoed through the room. The last one was especially heavy, sending Li Chenqian spinning in place before he crashed to the floor.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

He dared to hit the City Lord’s son? Does he have a death wish?

While Xu Baian was still stunned, Chen Xiao grabbed him by the neck and hoisted him into the air.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Xu Baian was beaten to a pulp, his face a mess of tears and blood. His eyes rolled back into his head, and he fainted, collapsing to the floor like a pile of sludge.

Chen Xiao tossed him aside like garbage.

"How audacious! Truly audacious!" Li Chenqian’s eyelids twitched furiously. "Just because the tiger isn’t roaring, you mistake me for a sick kitten?"

He planned to mobilize the forces under his father’s command and eliminate Chen Xiao directly.

"Looks like I didn’t hit you hard enough!"

Chen Xiao’s hand, as large as a cattail fan, swung over again.

Li Chenqian’s head buzzed as he slammed against the wall, dazed for a long moment.

The men who had come in with Li Chenqian paled and rushed forward to surround Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao stomped his foot. Qi Force erupted from the ground, sending the dozen or so men flying backward like paper dolls.

"External Qi Force... A Martial Arts Grandmaster!?"

Li Chenqian’s eyes widened in disbelief. This guy was so young, yet he was already a Martial Arts Grandmaster. No wonder he was so arrogant!

But so what if he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster?

In Yuncheng City, no one can bully me. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster has to bow his head here!

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pulled out his phone, intending to contact the City Lord’s Guard. The City Lord’s Guard was the City Lord’s personal protective detail, and they were all fully equipped with submachine guns. With over a hundred guns mobilized, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would be turned into a sieve!

Suddenly, a figure pushed through the crowd of onlookers and strode in. When he saw Li Chenqian slumped against the wall, his eyes widened as well.

"Young Master Li? Who dared to lay a hand on you? Are they tired of living?"

Chen Xiao glanced over and saw it was Liu Yitong. What a small world.

Li Chenqian struggled to his feet. "Commander Liu! You’re here! There’s a reckless fool making trouble. As a member of Dragon Soul, you’re just the person to teach him a lesson and show him what rules are!"

So what if he’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster? Dragon Soul exists specifically to handle unruly Martial Artists like him, and Liu Yitong is an elite of Dragon Soul’s younger generation—a Second Level Commander! Dealing with this lunatic will be a piece of cake, right?

Moreover, he had already heard a rumor that Liu Yitong was a member of the new special operations team and was highly valued by a major figure in Dragon Soul. He was here today to attend a private meeting for the team members. However, it was said that above Liu Yitong, the deputy team leader, was a team leader with extremely high authority, personally appointed by that major figure. This leader’s authority was so high, in fact, that even his own father had to cooperate with their operations. But that person had yet to appear.
