The old man was burning with anger, never expecting Xu Wendong to be so direct. It was practically a slap in the face for him.
"Xu Wendong, how dare you bully this way!"
"I, Cang Jue, have been in the Jianghu for so many years, and no one has ever dared to look down on ."
"Today, I will show you the consequences of offending ."
With that, he slamd his palm onto the excavator beneath him and used the force to leap into the air. Like a Blue Hawk, he crossed over ten ters in an instant, charging toward Xu Wendong.
Hearing that the other party was called Cang Jue, Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang nearly choked.
This was a well-known super master in the martial arts world, reportedly reaching the level of a First-rate Master, with iron palms that could easily shatter hard rocks and kill a fully-grown bull with one strike.
Although they knew Xu Wendong was an extraordinary person, they were uncertain he could withstand Cang Jue’s attack.
Just as the two were caught off guard,
Xu Wendong threw a punch.
Simple and straightforward, with no unnecessary movents.
"Ah!"
A tragic cry echoed as Cang Jue, like a kite with its string cut, spewed fresh blood and flew backward, landing heavily on the ground like a dead dog, utterly embarrassed.
Witnessing this scene, everyone widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
No one expected Xu Wendong to be so powerful, overpowering the long-renowned super master Cang Jue with a single move.
Even seeing it with their own eyes, it felt surreal.
"Just answer , if I bully you, what can you do?" Xu Wendong stood there quietly, a hint of disdain on his face.
"I... I have nothing to say." Cang Jue stood up with difficulty, a deep fear in his eyes.
Recalling Xu Wendong’s earlier move, he felt an overwhelming aura that he simply couldn’t withstand.
He didn’t even have ti to dodge.
He knew,
Xu Wendong was a true master; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost so thoroughly.
But,
An eighteen-year-old boy, how could his strength be so terrifying?
Had he been practicing martial arts since he was in the womb?
Xu Wendong asked, "Is there any objection to compensating one million per person for dical expenses?"
Cang Jue swallowed a mouthful of blood, "Fine, I’ll pay!"
Xu Wendong continued, "One hundred and thirteen people were injured by you, so the compensation is 113 million. We don’t want even a penny more. Write the check!"
Cang Jue, full of humiliation, took out his checkbook, wrote a 113 million check, and personally handed it to Xu Wendong with both hands.
Gone was the image of him sitting proudly atop the excavator.
The reason?
Was it because he was scared of being beaten?
"We’re leaving!" Xu Wendong took the check and turned to leave.
At the sa ti, Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang also called their n and left the scene.
Although those people were injured, a million in dical expenses was not a small amount for anyone, and they were genuinely grateful to Xu Wendong for seeking justice on their behalf.
Inside the Benz, Xu Wendong played a cheerful and festive ’Good Day.’
A joyful atmosphere pervaded the car, yet Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang looked listless.
After pondering for a mont, Chen Ping’an finally couldn’t hold back, "Mister Xu, we worked so hard on the project, and now the Sandao Association has taken it away. Are you really willing to let it go?"
Liu Mang sighed, "What else can we do if we’re unwilling? The other side is the Sandao Association! Although Cang Jue’s words were harsh, compared to the Sandao Association, aren’t we just Ants?"
"We simply can’t compete with them!"
Chen Ping’an deeply sighed, feeling frustrated.
Liu Mang consoled him, "Lao Chen, don’t be so downhearted. Although the project was taken by Sandao Association, at least they gave us an extra two billion. We’re not at a total loss!"
"Can you really care about that two billion?" Chen Ping’an smiled wryly, knowing they were both powerful figures, and two billion was not much to them.
What they wanted was the project to rebuild South City, not primarily for money but to use it to legitimize and fully transform their dealings.
This was the ultimate dream for many in the Jianghu.
Liu Mang spread his hands, "That’s the way it is. What can I do if I don’t want it?"
"You both are bosses, why can’t you stay calm?" Xu Wendong chuckled helplessly, "Don’t worry, this project will eventually be ours."
"No one can snatch it from us!"
Hearing this, the two of them lit up, Chen Ping’an eagerly asked, "Mister Xu, what are you planning? Don’t tell you’re thinking of doing the sa trick, trapping the Sandao Association into giving us back the project?"
Liu Mang’s eyes glead, "Using the sa trick across the board, this move is so damn clever!"
Xu Wendong responded, "If that were the case, wouldn’t it seem like I only know that one move? We need to bring forth new ideas. Besides, even if this trick worked, how could we maintain our reputation in the Jianghu afterward?"
"A man without trust cannot stand. Since we took the Sandao Association’s check, we can’t go back on our word."
Chen Ping’an and Liu Mang were a bit confused. They could see that Xu Wendong was a man of his word, which was definitely admirable in the Jianghu.
Yet, they still didn’t know what Xu Wendong’s plan was.
Xu Wendong smiled while driving, "I ntioned it before. Many are eyeing the South City rebuild project."
"Sandao Association is just the first to lose their cool."
"I have a hunch, in less than three days, another external force will want to take over the South City rebuild. And their strength far surpasses the Sandao Association."
"As I said before, the waters in South City are deep, and the Sandao Association can’t handle it."
The two were still a bit puzzled.
Xu Wendong continued, "We indeed can’t snatch the South City rebuild back from the Sandao Association; such an untrustworthy act we cannot do."
"But..."
"If we snatch it back from another force, it shouldn’t breach our agreent with the Sandao Association, right?"
"Look, we didn’t break our agreent with the Sandao Association, and we gained 1.2 billion. I ask you, isn’t this like getting it for free?"
"Even if a mint worked overnight to print money, it wouldn’t be as fast as we earn, would it?"
Hearing this, Chen Ping’an was energized, gesturing excitedly, "Oh my! Xu Wendong, you really are a genius! Only you can pull off such cleverly deceptive acts!"
Xu Wendong’s mouth twitched, "Chen Ping’an, are you praising or cursing ?"
Chen Ping’an realized he was a bit out of line, smiled sheepishly, and quickly apologized, "It’s my excitent to bla. Please don’t mind, Mister Xu. My earlier rude words don’t change my respect for you."
Liu Mang, however, looked worried and asked a sharp question, "Our people couldn’t even deal with the Sandao Association, how can we seize this project back from other forces?"
