Chapter 189 - 173: Extremely Dangerous, All Out (2)

Chapter 189: Chapter 173: Extremely Dangerous, All Out (2)

His heart skipped a beat.

Just then, a man beside him noticed Hong She’s gaze. "What the fuck are you looking at?" he demanded, stepping forward, ready to slap Hong She.

But...

CRACK.

Without even glancing at the man, Hong She grabbed his wrist and gave it a vicious twist. The sound of breaking bone rang out.

A scream of agony pierced the air.

It was utterly chilling.

SHING!

Everyone drew their weapons.

"Old Xie."

"See that? Now *that’s* what I call a woman."

Hong She’s gaze drifted upward, landing on her prominent bust. "This is the kind I like," he said. "Haha."

Xie Shaokun: "..."

"You’re asking to die!"

Brother Dong’s eyes went cold. He snatched a billiard ball from the table and hurled it at Hong She’s face, roaring, "Get them! Beat them to death!"

They had harassed his woman in public and injured one of his men.

Even with the best of tempers, and even knowing this group was trouble, he couldn’t let it slide. Too many of his men were watching. To retreat now would be to lose everything.

"Heh."

"You made the first move. I’m just defending myself."

Hong She’s voice wasn’t loud, but it reached every ear. He snatched the incoming billiard ball from the air. Just as he was about to smash it into the forehead of a goon rushing at him, he froze. He then said, "These guys are all pretty good cannon fodder. I can’t be the one to waste them."

’Can’t ruin Yu’s grand plan.’

SMACK.

He then delivered a surprisingly gentle slap to the man’s face.

The next moment, the man staggered back several steps, colliding with the pool table. He grimaced in pain, but his ability to fight was unaffected.

"Brother Hua."

Hong She paid him no mind, instead shouting, "To catch the thieves, first catch their King! I’m counting on you!"

WHOOSH.

The moment he finished speaking, Little Flower vanished.

Of course, it hadn’t actually vanished. It was simply moving too fast for anyone’s eyes to follow its figure.

「Two breaths later.」

SLAM.

Brother Dong’s right hand was just reaching the pistol at his waist when Little Flower slammed his head down onto the pool table and disarmed him.

Subdued in an instant!

The room fell silent.

Everyone was stunned, including Hong She and Xie Shaokun.

’This strong?’

’What just happened?’

Hong She and Xie Shaokun exchanged a glance, recalling the superpowers they had just begun to activate.

They had expected Brother Hua to win decisively, but they never imagined... he would be this overwhelming.

’Wasn’t that a bit *too* decisive?’

"Awesome!"

Hong She was the first to give a thumbs-up, saying, "Brother Hua, you’re incredible."

Xie Shaokun nodded along. "It’s only been a few days, Brother Hua. How did you get so strong? Were you going easy on me before?"

Little Flower shook its head.

Xie Shaokun fell silent.

’Because that’s even more terrifying!’

It had only been a little over half a month since they last fought, and now Little Flower’s combat strength completely crushed his. The rate of its improvement was just too fast.

’What incredible talent!’

Hong She couldn’t help but recall what happened last night: after arriving at a gloomy, remote location in another province, he and Yu had waited in the car while Little Flower walked alone into the darkness, only returning a long time later.

’Could that be related to the boost in Little Flower’s power?’

"What do you want?"

Just then, Brother Dong came to his senses. Realizing the vast gap in strength between them, he wisely conceded. "Do you want money? Or something else?"

"Straight to the point. I like that."

Hong She snapped out of his thoughts, strode over, and pocketed Brother Dong’s pistol. "This little piece of junk is worthless," he said.

"Now *this* is a real gun."

He slapped his own pistol down in front of Brother Dong’s face.

"!!!"

Brother Dong’s pupils contracted.

He knew his guns and recognized it at a glance. It was a military-issue pistol: larger magazine, greater stopping power, longer range... In short, it completely outclassed his own handgun.

Simply put, his was a self-defense pistol, while this one was a machine pistol.

They weren’t even in the same league.

Clearly, the other party had a much more powerful background, and this was a deliberate move to intimidate him.

"I’ll cooperate fully."

Brother Dong completely abandoned any clever ideas and said obediently, "I’ll do exactly as you say. No questions asked."

"One hundred million."

Hong She held up one finger. "To buy your life."

"Fine."

Brother Dong gritted his teeth and, surprisingly, agreed decisively.

Hong She was actually a little surprised.

He noticed Brother Dong’s expression. It was obvious that one hundred million was a difficult sum for him to come up with, yet he had still agreed so decisively. This proved the man was far from simple.

Besides, anyone in Huayang City who could cough up a hundred million, even reluctantly, was bound to be someone of note.

"Give me three days," Brother Dong added.

Hong She shook his head. "Two days."

The day after tomorrow was when the Mist Event was set to break out. They had to get the money before then. If Brother Dong died in the Mist Event, collecting the money would become much more difficult.
