C9 South Heavenly King Master Hong
"The customer is king! And you're about to meet your maker!" Xing Mo didn't bother with further talk, striding over to the room's French window and flinging it open!
He then positioned Liu Cai precariously outside the window!
In that instant, Liu Cai felt a warmth in his groin, terror driving him to wet himself!
With just a release of Xing Mo's grip, he'd truly come face-to-face with God!
"CEO Gao! Save me! If you do, Young Master Qin will surely reward you handsomely!" Liu Cai bellowed in desperation.
CEO Gao, initially startled, quickly regained his composure.
Maybe this youngster just had extraordinary strength.
But his bodyguard was trained in martial arts!
"Go! Get that kid back in here!" CEO Gao commanded in a hushed tone after a brief pause.
The bodyguard lunged at Xing Mo with a punch aimed at his face!
"Not on your life!" Xing Mo countered, extending his left hand and delivering a resounding slap!
"Bang!"
The bodyguard's body was hurled against the room's wall, his face grotesquely indented into it!
Silence fell over the room.
The tension was so thick, it felt like you could wring water from the air!
With just one slap, CEO Gao's bodyguard was sent sprawling!
How did this young man possess such immense strength?
"Given your years of service at Lunaire Designs, I'll spare your life for Yichen's sake. Go tell Qin Tianci that if he even thinks about targeting Lunaire Designs again, the Qin family will face my wrath." With that, Xing Mo flicked his wrist, sending Liu Cai's bulky frame flying backward.
A dull thud echoed as Liu Cai passed out cold.
Xing Mo then turned, casually dusting off his hands.
"Now, let's discuss the contract, shall we?"
At this point, all the executives present were eyeing the two men sprawled on the floor, shivering with fear.
"How dare you threaten us? We could call the police! What can you possibly do to us?" CEO Gao found his voice, challenging Xing Mo with a defiant shout.
"Silence!"
Without wasting another moment, Xing Mo gestured sharply, unleashing a wind blade that sliced through the air.
The blade skimmed dangerously close to CEO Gao's face!
Feeling the sudden cold, CEO Gao clutched his face, howling in pain.
At that moment, everyone in the room was utterly shocked!
Could this kid actually wield hidden weapons?
Yet, none of them could have imagined that the young man before them was a master of the wind blade technique!
And even if it was a hidden weapon, it struck without warning!
What good would calling the police do against such a person?
You'd be down before the assailant even got close to you!
How would you even begin to track down the killer?
The executives were sweating bullets, too terrified to utter a word!
"You know what to do now, that's good to hear!" Xing Mo didn't waste another second and made his way to the exit.
Stepping outside, he saw Lin Yichen emerging from the restroom, her eyes tinged with redness, signaling to Xing Mo that something had happened.
"Let's go! We're heading back," Lin Yichen said, her voice tinged with sorrow.
Just then, Director Gao and the others burst out of the private room in utter disarray.
Upon seeing Lin Yichen, tears streamed down their faces.
"Director Lin! We won't cancel the contract!"
"Director Lin! We were only joking! Please, a magnanimous person like you should overlook our foolishness!"
"Madam, please, we need our supply! I'll make the payment as soon as I return!"
Lin Yichen stood there, dumbfounded.
She had merely gone to the restroom; what on earth had happened to these people?
With a look of confusion, Lin Yichen turned to Xing Mo for answers.
Xing Mo simply shrugged, remarking nonchalantly, "Perhaps they've had a change of heart."
Regardless, Lin Yichen couldn't help but feel elated.
At that moment, a formidable group approached, led by a man in his fifties wearing a traditional Tang suit.
"Sir, this is the private room section of the hotel. May I ask what your business is here?" inquired a waiter, approaching the group.
"We're here for a killing. Step aside," barked a bald thug menacingly.
The gang advanced directly toward Xing Mo.
Lin Yichen's face, which had held a trace of a smile, suddenly tensed as she recognized one of the faces in the crowd.
"Master Hong, this is the kid," Mr. Blade said, pointing at Xing Mo while being supported by an accomplice.
The onlookers outside the private room exchanged uneasy glances before stepping aside.
"South Heavenly King, Master Hong!"
Hearing this name, they shuddered with fear.
It was common knowledge that Master Hong, the South Heavenly King, reigned as the Underground King of the southern district.
Yet, what business could such an influential figure have with Xing Mo?
"Word is this kid gave Mr. Blade a beating at the hospital!"
"Damn! No wonder the kid was so cocky earlier! But having crossed Master Hong, he's as good as dead."
"That bastard had the nerve to hit me earlier! Now, let's see if Master Hong doesn't finish him off!"
Chief Gao, clutching his face, regained his usual composure at this moment.
The other executives halted in their tracks.
They had all been humiliated in the private room earlier and were now eager to witness Xing Mo's downfall.
Xing Mo faced the bald man with an unflappable demeanor, a hint of frost in his eyes as he spoke firmly, "Are you here for revenge?"
"You're the one who injured my brother in the hospital? Considering your youth, I'll let you off with your life today. Just jump from this building!" Master Hong said to Xing Mo, his voice icy.
"Jump from here? But this is the fourth floor!" The executives gasped in shock.
True to form, Master Hong was merciless and resolute.
Lin Yichen, standing behind, had gone deathly pale.
Having lived in Luton for years, she was well-versed in the tales of the South Heavenly King, Master Hong.
There was the story of a young master from a third-tier family who had vied with Master Hong over a dancer, only to end up with broken legs and cast into the sea, never to be seen again.
Regardless, Xing Mo was her betrothed.
"Master Hong! I belong to the Lin family, and one of my cousins is the captain of the Luton police force. I implore you to show mercy!"
Lin Yichen inhaled deeply before addressing Master Hong.
"Haha! The captain of the police station? What of it?" Master Hong laughed heartily.
At that moment, everyone let out a collective sigh.
Master Hong was spot on!
Even if trouble arose, with the myriad of underlings at Master Hong's command, any one of them could easily shoulder the burden!
What could the police station possibly do?
"Yichen, relax! That's just how the world works. For some, the only answer is to fight fire with fire! Legalities be damned!" Xing Mo said with a slight smile, making his way over.
Lin Yichen gave a nod.
For some inexplicable reason, the sight of Xing Mo's smile had calmed her restless heart.
"Master Hong, it looks like this kid doesn't know when he's well off! If that's the case, I'll just have to take him down a peg today, shall I?" The bald thug's face twisted with rage.
It had been ages since anyone had the audacity to act so brazenly in front of Master Hong!
Propped up by his entourage, Mr. Blade boasted with a smirk, "Brother Tiger, I'm counting on you to give me some satisfaction."
Brother Tiger approached with a cold laugh, "You might have a few tricks up your sleeve, but do you have any idea who you're dealing with? I'm the mixed martial arts champion of Luton! And let me tell you, those who've faced me in the ring have either ended up dead or seriously injured! You'd be better off jumping off this building while you still can!"
"A street fighting champion? To me, you're nothing but an ant!" Xing Mo couldn't help but chuckle.
The very idea that a local street fighting champ would have the gall to be so bold in the presence of a Supreme Immortal Sovereign was laughable. He was no more than an ant at the foot of a giant.
"Big talk for a little guy! I'm eager to see what you're made of!" Brother Tiger was taken aback by the young man's blatant scorn.
