C8 He Shattered the Knife with His Finger
To avoid injury, staff quickly called for an ambulance for Director Zhu. The security guard left, not wanting to trouble Chu Tian again.
The office was silent all day, and everyone looked at Chu Tian with fear.
Was this scary man really the Chu Tian they knew?
In the evening, Chu Tian got a text from Ye Tianxin. She said there's a big party tonight and a jade would be auctioned.
Chu Tian had asked Ye Tianxin to tell him if there was news about the jade, so she did.
Chu Tian agreed to go and sent Ye Tianxin his address because she offered to pick him up.
It was nice to have a car pick him up!
Chu Tian quickly cleaned his desk and got ready to go. He didn't care that it wasn't time to leave yet.
As he was leaving, Director Zhu came in on crutches, followed by many people.
The most noticeable was a big man next to Director Zhu.
The man had a scarred face, a big gold chain, and wore a leather jacket. He looked like a thug.
Director Zhu was oddly respectful to this man.
"Leaving early, Chu Tian?" Director Zhu looked at him coldly.
"You're Chu Tian?" asked the man with the scarred face.
"What do you want?" replied Chu Tian.
"When will you pay back the money you owe me?" the man with the scarred face asked angrily.
"I owe you money?" Chu Tian questioned.
Chu Tian recognized the man as Lord Hu, who had schemed with Director Zhu to trick him.
It seemed Director Zhu brought Lord Hu to get rid of him.
"You think you can avoid paying me back? Few people in Qingzhou dare not to pay me!" the man said.
"I've told you, I don't owe you money! Go ask the person who borrowed from you. This has nothing to do with me!" After saying this, Chu Tian prepared to leave.
However, Lord Hu waved his hand, and his men blocked the way.
Chu Tian coldly asked, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
"If you don't pay today, I'll not only stop you but beat you to death," Lord Hu said, glaring fiercely.
"Really?" Chu Tian sneered.
"Attack him!"
Lord Hu ordered and stepped back. His men charged at Chu Tian.
Their numbers alone could overwhelm Chu Tian.
Yet, in less than ten seconds, all his men were on the ground, wailing. No one saw how Chu Tian did it.
Lord Hu frowned. He'd seen a lot over the years, but Chu Tian was different.
With a sharp noise, Lord Hu drew a Nippon Army Blade from his waist, changing the room's atmosphere.
Lord Hu was armed, and it looked like he planned to stab Chu Tian.
Everyone was puzzled by Chu Tian's sudden power but worried that Lord Hu's blade could kill him.
"So, will you pay now?" Lord Hu asked.
Lord Hu bared his teeth and glared.
Chu Tian remained calm.
"Pay back, or I'll stab you to death," said Lord Hu.
Lord Hu was enraged by Chu Tian, unlike any debtor he'd dealt with before.
In Qingzhou, everyone paid when they heard Boss Lin's name. Chu Tian was the first to refuse.
If Lord Hu couldn't assert his authority today, it would become harder to collect debts and could even jeopardize his standing with Boss Lin.
The blade cut through the air, aiming at Chu Tian's throat. The blade was strong enough to pierce steel, so Chu Tian's throat wouldn't stand a chance.
Some people were so scared they closed their eyes.
Most people had never seen anything like this before.
A metallic sound made everyone's heart skip a beat. When they looked, they saw something shocking.
Chu Tian flicked the knife's blade with his finger, and it broke in two.
The knife broke just like that.
The broken piece of the blade flew through the air and stuck into the wall.
The whole blade went into the wall.
Lord Hu was stunned because he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Is Chu Tian even human?
The knife was a real military blade, not a toy. Chu Tian broke it with a single finger. What if that finger had hit Lord Hu's forehead?
Realizing this, Lord Hu stepped back. Even though he knew Chu Tian was strong, he wasn't scared because he had a powerful friend.
Lord Hu's friend was powerful in Qingzhou, someone Chu Tian shouldn't mess with.
"Do you know who my friend is? No one in Qingzhou would dare not pay him back," said Lord Hu.
"Then bring him here. I'll tell him who needs to pay," Chu Tian said calmly.
"Okay!"
Lord Hu was relieved to hear this. He called his friend Lin Tianbiao.
After explaining the situation, Lord Hu hung up and smiled.
Lin Tianbiao was a very important person in Qingzhou. He owned many businesses and was at the top of the business world.
Even the top officials in Qingzhou addressed Lin Tianbiao as Boss Lin.
Lin Tianbiao might not matter to the city's leader, but behind him was the influential Ye Family in Qingzhou.
Lin Tianbiao's reputation might not be valuable, but the Ye Family's reputation is priceless.
Right now, Lin Tianbiao was in a Mercedes-Benz van.
After his call, he tells Ye Tianxin, "Miss, I've got some things to handle when we get to Howdy. I can't see Mr. Chu right away."
Ye Tianxin says firmly, "It's your first time meeting Mr. Chu. Make a good impression."
"Don't worry, Miss. I know what to do," Lin Tianbiao answered.
Lin Tianbiao, respected in Qingzhou, was humble in front of Ye Tianxin.
He owes everything to the Ye Family. They could make or break him, so he had to please them.
