Chapter 219: Giving You Time
“Xiao Shun, you dare to fight back? Apologize to Young Master Kou immediately! Do you want to get us all killed?” Zhou Chu shouted angrily.
He was afraid Kou Moshu would take his anger out on them. Even if Xiao Shun had some skills, he would be no match for Kou Moshu.
Zhou Chu knew very well that being able to fight in this society was useless. Anyway. could they beat real martial artists or martial arts masters?
“Xiao Shun, apologize now. Don’t involve my sister,” Yao Xiaoyu said, her emotions somewhat stabilized.
Although she didn’t know why Xiao Shun would provoke someone like Kou Moshu or how he managed to easily break the long-faced man’s arm, when compared to Kou Moshu, they were still insignificant.
The men and women who followed Kou Moshu were shocked, looking at Xiao Shun as if he were a dead man. They knew the consequences of angering Kou Moshu.
“Break him!” Kou Moshu, his face pale with rage, slammed the bar counter and roared.
As soon as his words were heard, two bodyguards behind him leaped forward. One was a Tier-Three cultivator and the other a Tier-Five cultivator. In Kou Moshu’s view, using them to deal with Xiao Shun was overkill.
Xiao Shun pushed Ouyang Qianqian to the side, a murderous glint in his eyes. He smiled faintly, “Stay away from me, or you’ll be splattered with blood.”
The two cultivators attacked Xiao Shun with a flurry of punches and kicks. Xiao Shun’s eyes narrowed, and he advanced instead of retreating, his body flickering like a ghost in the dim light.
The Tier-Five cultivator suddenly felt bewildered. Thud! He flew through the air like a broken kite, crashing into a bar counter, shattering it.
The remaining Tier-Three cultivator was horrified. He realized he was dealing with something he had not expected, but he hadn’t even seen his moves. How could he fight?
However, by the time he wanted to retreat, it was too late. A shadow flashed before his eyes, and before he could react, a fist suddenly appeared in front of him.
Following that, his vision darkened, and he collapsed, unconscious.
Everyone was dumbfounded, especially Kou Moshu and the others. Zhou Chu and the rest might not have known the strength of the two bodyguards, but Kou Moshu’s people were well aware. A Tier-Five cultivator and a Tier-Three cultivator were no match for Xiao Shun. What kind of monster was he?
Slap!
Before Kou Moshu could process what had just happened, a slap landed on his face. The forceful blow drew blood from the corner of his mouth.
“You dare to hit me?” Kou Moshu roared, “Do you know who I am?”
Xiao Shun grabbed him by the collar, hoisted him up with one hand, and slapped him again with another backhand. He then forcefully threw him to the ground and kicked him in the face. Instantly blood flow freely and made a shocking scene.
“Hit you I did, and I don’t care who you are!”
“Not only will I hit you, but today I’ll also break your legs.”
“Take your time to call for reinforcements. I’ll wait! If you can’t bring any, you’ll spend your next life in a wheelchair!”
Xiao Shun stood proudly with his hands on his hips, facing Kou Moshu Shu and his entourage, not even glancing at them.
Yao Xiaoyu and the other girls had already turned pale, feeling utterly hopeless. In their hearts, the same thought emerged: it was all over, not only for Xiao Shun but for themselves, too, as they would likely be implicated.
“Xiao Shun, you damn fool, do you really want to get us killed?”
“Master Kou, I have nothing to do with this man. I swear to heaven, we’ve only met him for the first time today.”
“Please, sir, it has nothing to do with us.”
Zhou Chu was so scared that he was nearly kneeling and kowtowing, trembling as he spoke.
Kou Moshu’s face was covered in blood, a terrifying sight. He let out a sinister laugh, and the temperature in the spacious bar seemed to suddenly drop a few degrees, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
No one had expected someone like him to be humiliated like this in such a small place like Stillwater.
If word got out, his name would be a joke!
It was utterly absurd that a good-for-nothing son-in-law would dare to ride roughshod over him. Thus, Kou Moshu laughed in extreme anger.
“You’re too damn arrogant. You will really regret!”
“I will call my people over. I won’t rest until I’ve torn you to pieces today. Just wait!”
At this moment, one of the girls he brought over stepped forward, trembling as she took out a wet wipe to help him clean the blood from his face.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“Get lost!”
He snatched the wet wipe and wiped his face himself. After making a phone call, he pointed at Xiao Shun, fuming, “You think you’re tough? Can you take bullets?”
By now, Xiao Shun had already pulled Ouyang Qianqian back to their seats, and he smiled indifferently.
He poured Ouyang Qianqian a glass of wine and handed it to her: “Here, to calm your nerves.”
Ouyang Qianqian held the wine glass with both hands, took a careful sip, and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. She then smiled awkwardly.
Probably that was what a true man should be like.
Lin Jiayin now regretted her actions deeply. She had only wanted to teach Xiao Shun a lesson, but the situation had escalated dangerously, and she feared she might have some big trouble today.
She sat there anxiously, unsure of what to do. She had never imagined that such an unremarkable-looking man could be so formidable, completely beyond her understanding.
Although she wanted to tell Kou Moshu that she didn’t care anymore, it seemed that she had already become an outsider in this situation, unable to speak up.
This had become a grudge between Kou Moshu and Xiao Shun.
Xiao Shun and Ouyang Qianqian sat at one table, while Kou Moshu and his wealthy friends occupied another. Zhou Chu and the others stood in the middle of the aisle, feeling out of place and restless.
Their faces were ashen, unsure of what would happen next.
About ten minutes later, a loud bang signaled the bar’s doors being kicked open. A swarm of people rushed in, some with bulging waists, clearly carrying firearms.
Hearing the commotion, Kou Moshu immediately stood up and looked towards the entrance. He smiled and shouted, “President Zhuang, over here!”
He then turned to Xiao Shun, grinding his teeth, “You’re as good as dead.”
Xiao Shun responded with a calm smile, “Is that all you’ve got?”
“You’re still talking tough when you’re about to die!” Kou Moshu Shu glared at him furiously.
“Mr. Kou, why didn’t you let us know you were coming to Stillwater? I heard you were beaten up. Who in Stillwater dares to touch you?” Zhuang Jin walked over quickly with his cane, talking as he went.
Upon seeing Xiao Shun, Zhuang Jin’s expression changed, and he quickly bowed,”Mr. Xiao, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“He was beaten up by me, are you going to back him up?” Xiao Shun casually picked up a dried fruit, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
“I dare not,” Zhuang Jin replied.
“Then sit down. The wine here isn’t bad.”
“Alright.” Zhuang Jin nodded his head respectfully and fearfully, then sat down across from Xiao Shun.
