Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Two Grandmasters!
"Motherfucker! I tried to be nice, and you spit in my face!" Xiao Chenâs face twisted with fury. He smashed a wine bottle onto the floor and bellowed, "Take him down!"
His lackeys clamored, eager to rush forward and seize Chen Xiao.
However, in the next instant, Chen Xiao vanished. A moment later, his palm cracked against Xiao Chenâs arrogant face.
The impact was like being hit by a truck. Xiao Chenâs body was lifted completely off the ground, but before he could fly away, Chen Xiao snatched him by the neck, yanking him back and holding him suspended in the air with a single hand.
Chen Xiaoâs large, well-defined hand gripped Xiao Chenâs neck. Like a trapped animal, Xiao Chen struggled frantically as his eyes quickly rolled back in their sockets.
"Let go of Young Master Xiao!"
"Youâre asking for death, touching Young Master Xiao!"
"Get him! Break his arms and legs!"
Seeing Xiao Chen captured, the lackeys charged. But as soon as they got close, Chen Xiao kicked them away one by one, sending them flying into a heap. Their miserable screams echoed throughout the private room.
One of the lackeys scrambled out from the human pile and fled the room in a panic.
"Y-You! Let me go! Now! When the two Energy Transformation Grandmasters from my Xiao Family get here, youâll die without a goddamn grave!" Xiao Chen managed to squeeze out.
"One more word and Iâll snap your neck," Chen Xiao said, his face a mask of cold fury.
With that, he tossed Xiao Chen onto the table like a dead dog.
The glass tabletop shattered. Excruciating pain shot through Xiao Chenâs body, as if heâd been completely broken apart. He coughed violently, gasping for breath. When he reached up to touch his face, he found it swollen like a pigâs head and oozing blood.
He glared at Chen Xiao with pure venom, a look that promised a death by a thousand cuts.
"Letâs go," Chen Xiao said, glancing at Xu Yanran.
She nodded.
"Go? Where do you think youâre going?" Liu Ya suddenly rushed forward, blocking their path. She berated them with righteous indignation, "Apologize to Young Master Xiao this instant, or youâll answer to me! And you, Xu Yanran! You brought this man here to ruin the relationship between the Xu and Xiao families. Youâre a disgrace to our family!"
Xu Yanran looked at her with utter disgust. "Are you insane? If you love being a lapdog so much, why donât you divorce my brother and go be one for the Xiao Family? Donât drag the rest of the Xu Family down with you."
Liu Ya gritted her teeth. "You... I donât care! Anyway, this one-billion deal..."
Before she could finish, Xu Kang, his face cold as ice, slapped her across the cheek. "Shut your mouth."
"You hit me? You actually dared to hit me? Xu Kang, you worthless dog, youâve got a death wish!" Tears of indignation instantly welled up in Liu Yaâs eyes. In all their years of marriage, Xu Kang had never laid a hand on her. How dare he strike her today? "If you donât give me an explanation for this, weâre getting a divorce! Right now!"
"Fine! Letâs get a divorce!" Xu Kangâs eyes were filled with disappointment. "Iâve wanted to divorce you for a long time anyway!"
Years ago, after finding out he was the young master of the Xu Family, she had seized an opportunity to get him drunk. They ended up sleeping together, and she became pregnant. With a baby on the way, she had successfully married into the Xu Family, becoming the wife of a wealthy man. Ever since, she had exploited his guilt to force her way into the Xu Groupâs affairs. Over the years, she did nothing but spend money recklessly and harass him with her incessant nagging...
If not for their child and his desire to give them a complete family, he would have given up on the marriage long ago.
A moment ago, when Xiao Chen had humiliated him, Liu Yaâhis own wifeâhadnât shown a shred of concern. Instead, she had tried to sell out his sister to that beast. The thought chilled him to the bone.
He was done with this money-grubbing woman!
At his words, Liu Yaâs face went pale as paper. "You... you really want to divorce me?"
"What do you think? That Iâm joking?" Xu Kang snapped impatiently. "Weâll do it as soon as we get back! I canât wait. The sooner, the better!"
Liu Ya gritted her teeth and burst into tears. "Iâve been your nanny for so many years and even gave you a child, you heartless bastard..."
"Have you ever seen a nanny whoâs never cooked a single meal, hits her husband, shops for luxury goods every day, and constantly throws tantrums at him?" Xu Kang said coldly. "Say no more. This divorce is happening!"
As the coupleâs fierce argument raged on, two middle-aged men appeared at the door of the private room. They were dressed in martial arts attire, one tall and one short. Both had bulging temples and sharp, focused eyes, marking them as clear experts in the Martial Dao.
Seeing these two stride in with the gait of dragons and tigers, Xiao Chenâs confidence surged. These were the Martial Dao masters retained by the Xiao Family, both possessing the strength of Energy Transformation Grandmasters. In a place like Jinling, a city of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, they had few rivals.
When they saw Xiao Chenâs pitiful state, the corners of the two Martial Arts Grandmastersâ mouths twitched. "Young Master Xiao, we only stepped out for a moment to have a couple of drinks in the next room. How did you end up like this?"
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth. "It was all that kidâs doing!"
The two masters followed Xiao Chenâs gaze and saw Chen Xiao standing there calmly.
"No wonder he dared to strike Young Master Xiao. Heâs just some reckless punk who doesnât know his place," the two sneered as they strode forward. "Young Master Xiao, how would you like us to deal with him?" They didnât take Chen Xiao seriously in the slightest, their attitude dripping with contempt.
Xiao Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snarled, "Pin him down. First, break his damn legs. I want him to watch with his own eyes as this woman gets on her knees and serves me."
"As for that over-the-hill woman, consider her a gift for you two masters."
Hearing this, Liu Yaâs body trembled. She glanced at the fierce, tall man and his short, sleazy-looking companion, only to find them both staring at her with eyes burning with heat and greed.
Her face went deathly pale. She dropped to her knees with a thud. "Young Master Xiao, this has nothing to do with me! Theyâre the ones who attacked you! P-Please, can I leave first...?"
"Heh heh, leave? Weâll see about that. The two of us are going to have a lot of fun with you today," the tall man said, stepping forward and eyeing Liu Ya with undisguised greed. He was the one Xiao Chen had called Master Chen. Beside him, the short, sleazy-looking man was Master Li. Both had been drinking heavily and reeked of alcohol, their faces flushed red.
This woman might be a little older, but sheâs well-maintained. A pampered socialite. It would be a nice bonus to have a little fun with her.
Liu Yaâs face turned to ash. She began kowtowing desperately, pleading for mercy.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Ignore her for now, sheâs not going anywhere. Take care of that kid for me first!"
"As you wish, Young Master Xiao." Master Li and Master Chen exchanged a look. They lowered their stances, bent their knees, and lunged at Chen Xiao from both sides.
