First update,
...
Master De's n were seething with rage, one after another, and so had already quietly made their way toward Chen Da's side, forming a surrounding situation as if they were about to enclose Chen Da like wrapping dumplings.
Chen Da remained his calm self, and since Qin Shouxiong was wearing sunglasses, it was hard to tell any change in his expression, but one thing was apparent – his expression had not changed at all from beginning to end.
"Hold on..."
But at the critical mont, it was Master De who spoke up. After all, he had been mixed up in the Martial World for over a decade. Even though he had been the local tyrant for so long, he wasn't completely dismissive of everyone else.
It is said that even the fiercest dragon doesn't cross the river, and Tiger wouldn't have sent his n so brazenly to his territory without reliance. At the very least, the reactions of these two n in front of him indicated so.
"Gentlen, I have known Tiger for many years, and by the rules of the underworld, even he has to call senior when he sees . You—"
Master De's chubby face revealed a ferocious look, and his tone beca a lot tougher.
This is how it is for those mixed up in the underworld; you simply cannot show weakness to the other party. Otherwise, if you lose montum, you end up disadvantaged, especially in a situation like this.
Unfortunately for him, he was addressing the wrong people. Chen Da and Qin Shouxiong were not true underworld figures. They were there to rescue soone, to capture soone. They couldn't care less about turf wars.
"Tsk, tsk, Master De truly is deserving of his na. Truly, the old blade is not yet dull... But today, my companion and I didn't co to Gaoling to engage in such nonsense with Master De..."
Chen Da had no ti for idle chitchat with Master De and imdiately made clear his intention. "I heard Master De just captured a kid nad Li Jun. This person has so ties to Brother Hu's friends, and Brother Hu has sent the two of us to express his hope that Master De would do him the favor and let the person go..."
"Hmm?"
Master De's face shifted slightly, his pudgy cheeks trembling involly, clearly not expecting Chen Da to be there for such a matter.
For an average person, a simple notification to Master De from Tiger would suffice, and Master De would most likely do the favor. That way, no one would lose face, and Tiger might even owe him a favor.
But this matter was related to Li Jun, and Chen Da's words clearly indicated that Li Jun was captured by Master De. It was likely that the reason for the capture was also known...
If Master De released Li Jun, then the embarrassnt of him being cuckolded would spread, which was definitely not sothing Master De wanted to see.
"What if I don't release him?"
Faced with such a situation, Master De naturally wouldn't give in and asked rhetorically with a strange tone, while also giving several aningful glances.
"Not release him? I'm afraid that's not for you, Master De, to decide..."
Chen Da sneered, his gaze changing, no longer calm but filled with deep mockery. It wasn't clear whether he was mocking Master De's overconfidence or the fact that he had been cuckolded.
"Looking for death!"
"Bring out the weapons..."
Just like that, not only did Master De's face turn incredibly embarrassed, but his minions couldn't tolerate it either.
Their boss being disrespected and ridiculed not only made the boss lose face, but also them as subordinates. Plus, having thrown their weight around in Gaoling County for so many years, no one had dared to show such disrespect before. In an instant, they were filled with fury and imdiately two of them charged with fists ready to subdue Chen Da.
Bang bang~~
Although Chen Da's abilities had greatly diminished due to his injury, he was once a Level 5 military expert on par with Tang Cheng. Even now, weakened as he was, he still had the skills of a Level 3 or 4.
Master De's two underlings were too eager to show off and didn't asure their strength before taking action, resulting in Chen Da simply swinging his leg and effortlessly sending the two flying.
Smack smack smack~~
As Chen Da laid the two n down, there was no sign of joy on his face, as if it was an all too simple matter. Contrarily, Master De started clapping his hands.
"It's said that Tiger ca from the military, and he has many high-level military experts under him. I had my doubts, but now, I have no doubts anymore..."
Master De's fat face jiggled, looking greasy and shiny, and his tiny eyes had squinted until they were almost invisible. His gaze toward Chen Da grew even murkier.
"I won't deny it, you are quite skilled. Among my n, if we're talking about one-on-one fighting, there really aren't many who could match you! But..."
Smack smack smack~~
At this point, he smacked his hands twice more, and then one could see a handgun suddenly appear in the hand of a henchman standing behind him.
"Even if you're strong, can you be stronger than my bullets? The matter with that kid nad Li, no matter if an unknown nobody like you cos, or even if Tiger himself ca... Hmph, if you don't know what's good for you, I'll take you down right now!"
Master De was clearly very angry, and even raised his hand, as if rely by lowering it, the gunman would imdiately open fire.
"Master De, are you opting for punishnt over toasting? Then we won't be polite anymore..."
But Chen Da seed not to see the gun at all, acting more arrogant than even Master De, as if he held the upper hand.
"Clueless fools... Finish him off!"
Master De's plump face turned even uglier. At that mont, he dispensed with the niceties and simply waved his hand, signaling the gunman to imdiately shoot and kill Chen Da.
Bang~~
The gun fired!
Ah~~
Simultaneously, there was a scream of agony.
However, the scream did not co from Chen Da or Qin Shouxiong, but from the burly underling who had just tried to shoot. His hand clutching his wrist, he howled in pain, blood streaming through his fingers, while the gun had already fallen powerlessly to the ground.
Everyone on Master De's side was dumbfounded, none of them could understand how things had turned out this way. Could bullets shoot backward?
Obviously not!
The shooter was none other than Military Advisor Liuzi, standing closest to Master De.
"Liuzi! What is the aning of this?"
Master De's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief; it had never crossed his mind that the traitor would be Liuzi, whom he thought least likely to betray him.
But the reality in front of him was undeniable, and the faint sll of gunpowder lingering on Liuzi's handgun was the best proof.
"Master De, don't bla , as they say, 'Man ascends to higher positions like water flows to lower ones'... I've been slaving away for over a decade under you, and I can say I helped you fight for half of Gaoling County's territory. And what did I get? When I finally liked a woman, you drove her mad..."
Liuzi's face was calm, but his words emanated a chilling sensation, especially the last sentence, which revealed deep-seated hatred.
"You..."
Master De's face turned extraordinarily ugly, as he genuinely was unaware of these things.
Dominating in Gaoling County for years, he had driven countless won mad; he could not rember which woman had a relationship with Liuzi.
Of course, even if he had known, he wouldn't care. Over the years, he had arranged for his underlings to play with countless won, without regard for anything else.
"Stop wasting words on him; we're taking him with us. The rest of them... you handle it!"
Chen Da glanced at the ti, not wanting to delay things further, and walked directly towards Master De's side, ready to capture soone and imdiately retreat.
"You dare!"
But Master De, who had been in the ga for so many years, still had so desperados at his beck and call. Although Liuzi's gun had intimidated them, it didn't an these people would not dare to act.
Just as Chen Da was about to make a move to grab soone, three desperados suddenly charged forward. These three were highly prized by Master De and were known for their reckless fearlessness.
"Idiots..."
Chen Da didn't even bother with the three, slightly shifting his feet to dodge effortlessly, while Liuzi whispered these two words under his breath.
While everyone was baffled, Qin Shouxiong, who had been standing still all this while, suddenly seed to employ the Shift Position Technique, literally appearing in front of the three desperados, completely unfazed by the large knives in their hands.
Clang~ Clang~ Clang~
Three crisp striking sounds echoed through the eting room, even creating a reverberating echo...
Thud, thud, thud~~~
Ah~ Ah~ Ah~
But before the echo had faded, the distinct sound of blades cutting flesh was heard... accompanied by three painful screams.
Chen Da shrugged innocently, looking at Master De with a half-smile, and Liuzi had a similar reaction; apparently, he seed to have known all along that things would turn out this way.
As for Master De's side, it was entirely different; their eyes were wide in disbelief as they watched Qin Shouxiong brush off his shoulder, head, and arm – the very spots where the knives had struck...
Turned out, he was unhard, his clothes at most nicked by a few slashes, but the three n who had struck him were not so lucky. The blades had bounced back, crippling them...
Of course, Qin Shouxiong's mission was not only that - his movent was ant to achieve the best effect. He imdiately turned into a shadow, swiftly killing into the group of Master De's underlings.
The sounds of gunfire erupted again and again, followed by successive agonized screams, and of course, the snapping sounds of breaking bones were unavoidable.
In just a matter of seconds, Master De beca the only person left standing, while all the other underlings lay sprawled on the ground, wailing in pain...(To be continued.
