Chapter 141 Monster!

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Monster!

The Rolls-Royce at the head of the convoy was particularly eye-catching. A young man in a crisp white suit stepped out of the lead car. He wore a warm smile, and his narrow eyes twinkled with shrewdness.

He walked in, accompanied by several people. After glancing at the chaotic battle on the ground floor and sweeping his gaze over Chen Xiao’s group, he proceeded to a private box on the second floor.

However, the box was empty.

Where had Qiao Yu gone? Hadn’t they agreed to meet here?

Qin Cang’s eyes narrowed. Honestly, he was starting to get annoyed.

Had he been stood up?

Still, for the sake of his mission, he endured it.

He beckoned a waiter over and asked coldly, "Where did the guests from this private room go?"

"Just now... the guests from this room had a little disagreement with someone downstairs, so they all went down," the waiter stammered.

"They went down?" Qin Cang’s expression changed slightly. "And then?"

"Then... they got into a fight and were arrested," the waiter said, trembling.

Arrested after a fight?

Qin Cang’s eyelids twitched violently.

Is Qiao Yu really that unreliable? Besides, who would dare arrest members of Hongmen?

"Utter trash!" Qin Cang cursed. "Who arrested them?"

"The City Governor," the waiter replied.

"No wonder..." Qin Cang nodded in understanding.

But even a city governor should show Hongmen some respect, right? Arresting people just for a brawl? This governor of Yuncheng City is a bit lacking in tact.

He pulled out a wad of money and gave it to the waiter. "Tell me everything you know."

After a moment’s thought, the waiter took the money and briefly explained what had transpired.

Qin Cang’s eyes narrowed.

This isn’t good.

"Which of them are City Governor Li and Young Master Li?" he asked the waiter, gesturing toward the floor below.

"They’re right down there."

With that, Qin Cang immediately led his men charging downstairs.

He approached Li Buyi and Li Chenqian with a smile, his three or four men in tow. "City Governor Li, Young Master Li, I’ve long heard of your esteemed reputations! I am Qin Cang, of the Zhonghai Qin Family!"

At the mention of the "Zhonghai Qin Family," a look of respect appeared in everyone’s eyes.

Chen Xiao was also somewhat surprised.

If I remember correctly, isn’t Qin Lan from the Zhonghai Qin Family? I wonder how she’s doing now.

The Li father and son duo casually greeted Qin Cang. Although their reception was outwardly warm, Qin Cang could feel that the two were deliberately keeping their distance.

"I heard that you just arrested a group of people, City Governor Li?"

"Yes. Those thugs were harassing women, bullying people, and even poisoned someone," Li Buyi nodded. "Their actions were exceptionally vile, and they deserve to be punished."

"Perhaps there’s been some misunderstanding?" Qin Cang probed further.

"I witnessed it with my own eyes. There can be no mistake," Li Buyi stated unequivocally.

"They are members of Hongmen," Qin Cang reminded him.

Li Buyi held his ground. "I refuse to believe members of Hongmen would do such a thing." As long as he stubbornly "refused to believe it," Qiao Yu and his group were, for all intents and purposes, not acting as members of Hongmen. Even if Hongmen came demanding an explanation later, upon hearing his response, they would have no choice but to apologize and defer to him.

Qin Cang sighed silently.

This City Governor Li really is a crafty old fox. It seems Qiao Yu’s imprisonment is inevitable. Getting Li Buyi to release him won’t be easy at all.

He had no choice but to politely take his leave.

After stepping outside, he immediately made a call. "Helmsman Qiao, I have something to tell you about your son..."

Upon receiving the news from Qin Cang, Qiao Xiong’s face turned ashen.

After this interlude, Chen Xiao and his group also prepared to leave the Drunken Immortal Residence. A pleasantly cool evening breeze swept by as they walked out, ready to drive away.

Suddenly, a figure in ragged clothing and a ghost-face mask appeared before them, his crimson eyes fixed intently on Chen Xiao’s trio. He exuded a foul stench, his own eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was a tangled mess.

"Mr. Chen, be careful!" Li Buyi shouted. Instantly, seven or eight armed guards appeared and aimed their guns at the masked figure.

The ragged figure turned his head toward them, his gaze growing more bloodthirsty and frenzied. A growl like that of a wild beast rumbled from his throat. His body swelled at a rate visible to the naked eye, and with the agility of a monkey, he vanished in the blink of an eye.

A series of screams erupted!

"ARGH!" With a single slash of his claws, he severed the guards’ hands at the wrist!

The monster not only sounded like a beast, but its attacks were just as terrifying. His claws were incredibly sharp, able to slice through iron like mud. In just a few breaths, he had slain several guards!

Yet bullets couldn’t hit him. The few that did merely lodged in his skin and flesh, failing to damage his bones.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"He’s bulletproof?!"

This scene utterly stunned everyone.

How are we supposed to fight this thing?

"Have your men fall back!" Chen Xiao shouted.

Li Buyi quickly ordered them to retreat.

Chen Xiao stomped his foot and charged forward to battle the man in the ghost-face mask!

"ROAR!" The crimson, bloodthirsty killing intent in the masked man’s eyes threatened to swallow Chen Xiao whole. Their clash was brutal, with neither side holding anything back.

Chen Xiao realized that while the monster lacked Inner Strength, he possessed immense physical power and a body as hard as iron. Furthermore, his long fingernails were exceptionally sharp, able to slice through iron like mud. His strength and defense were both terrifying! Even in a direct confrontation, Chen Xiao couldn’t gain any advantage.

If a monster like this is allowed to escape, he’ll surely become a menace...

At this thought, murderous intent flickered in Chen Xiao’s eyes!

The Dragon Shadow Sword materialized in his hand!

"SWOOSH!" The blade burst forth with a brilliant light, followed by the roaring image of a dragon. It traced a stunning golden streak through the air and, with the speed of lightning, fiercely pierced through the monster’s chest
