Chapter 1021: Chapter 631: Testing the Waters
"Annoyed? Then what should I do now since I’m quite annoyed with you? And today I am determined to get this Jade Pendant, let’s see what you can do about it." Xu ShuoMin said with a smile, looking at Liu Hun with interest.
"Well, sorry, I don’t care if others are annoyed with me, but if I don’t like someone, I prefer not to see them." Liu Hun finished speaking, shook his head, and then turned his gaze to the elderly man and the little girl in front of him.
"Sir, are you both okay?" Liu Hun showed a slight smile to the old man and asked softly.
"I’m fine, just wanted to take my granddaughter to see a doctor today but didn’t expect to accidentally..." The old man shook his head, explaining to Liu Hun.
After speaking, he kept expressing gratitude to Liu Hun, hoping that Liu Hun wouldn’t get into unnecessary trouble over this matter, as Xu ShuoMin clearly wasn’t a simple character.
"Don’t worry, sir, I’m fine. Besides, I naturally dislike seeing others bully people. Since we met by chance this time, where do you live? I can arrange for someone to take you home." Liu Hun shook his head, not taking the matter to heart.
"We have no home..." The old man said with a bitter smile.
Seeing the look of the old man and the girl, Liu Hun paused for a moment, then instructed Wen Xiaodao by his side, "Xiaodao, arrange for someone to send this gentleman and them back first. I’ll come back to handle this later."
"Mm." Although Wen Xiaodao didn’t quite agree with Liu Hun’s meddling, since Liu Hun had already taken care of the matter, he had nothing to say.
"Stop, without my permission, they can’t leave for now. And I said, what I want, no one can stop me from getting!" Seeing Wen Xiaodao and them planning to take people away, Xu ShuoMin’s voice turned somewhat cold.
"Bang!" Just as Xu ShuoMin finished speaking, Lao Gui unexpectedly punched Xu ShuoMin in the face, and the next moment, Xu ShuoMin’s body was knocked down with fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
"As long as nobody dies, anything else is negotiable." Liu Hun glanced at Xu ShuoMin, who hadn’t recovered, and softly instructed Lao Gui.
"Got it!" Once Lao Gui heard Liu Hun’s words, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and seeing this, several people beside Xu ShuoMin were about to take action but were quickly knocked down by Lao Gui with a few punches and kicks.
The remaining Xu ShuoMin was also ruthlessly beaten by Lao Gui.
"No... stop hitting, stop hitting..." Initially, Xu ShuoMin was still cursing, and after a while, couldn’t bear Lao Gui’s torture, pleading continuously.
Upon Liu Hun’s signal, Lao Gui stopped his actions, and only then did Xu ShuoMin, with a somewhat swollen face, fix his gaze on Liu Hun and said, "Kid, do you know who I am, Xu ShuoMin? You dare to hit me like this; you won’t walk out of the City of Death today!"
"Bang!" Just as Xu ShuoMin finished speaking, Lao Gui kicked him over again.
"In this condition, and you still have the nerve to threaten my boss, I have to admire your courage." Lao Gui looked at Xu ShuoMin in front of him and sighed.
"Hold on, what did you just say?" Just as Lao Gui was about to hit the kid again, Liu Hun paused slightly and then looked at Xu ShuoMin on the ground.
Facing Liu Hun’s gaze, Xu ShuoMin thought Liu Hun was scared, enduring severe pain and said, "I’m the young master of the Xu Family. You offended me, and you’ll die a miserable death!"
"Young master of the Xu Family? Xiaodao, is he really from the Xu Family?" Hearing Xu ShuoMin’s words clearly, Liu Hun turned to confirm with Wen Xiaodao.
Wen Xiaodao wasn’t very clear about these matters. After all, the City of Death was vast, and they couldn’t possibly be familiar with every family’s descendants.
After checking slightly, Wen Xiaodao nodded with a slightly worried expression towards Liu Hun.
They came to ask for money from the Xu Family this time, but now they’ve beaten the Xu Family’s young master, getting the money might not be so easy.
After receiving Wen Xiaodao’s confirmation, Liu Hun looked at Xu ShuoMin with some interest.
"Kid, if you’re sensible, apologize to me right away, and make compensation. I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, you’ll die a miserable death!" Xu ShuoMin saw Liu Hun’s expression and thought Liu Hun was scared.
Unfortunately, he guessed Liu Hun’s thoughts wrong again this time.
Scanning the onlooking crowd with his eyes, Liu Hun slowly approached Xu ShuoMin and then kicked Xu ShuoMin hard in the chest again.
This time, Xu ShuoMin spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood, appearing extremely miserable.
No one expected Liu Hun would kick him again knowing Xu ShuoMin’s identity, if Liu Hun wasn’t a fool, then he must have a powerful background.
However, just as Liu Hun raised his foot to stomp again, an unexpected commotion sounded outside, followed immediately by a loud voice in everyone’s ears, "Stop!"
Just as that voice finished, Liu Hun’s foot had already stomped down hard.
A path opened up through the crowd, and a young man about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old looked at the miserable-looking brother at Liu Hun’s feet with a flash of pain in his eyes. But when he looked at Liu Hun, his eyes were full of anger.
"Yang, City Guard, should you handle this matter?" The young man took a deep breath and then turned his gaze to several people in uniform beside him, speaking in a low voice.
The man standing at the front was a middle-aged man, his robust frame perfectly showcased by his black outfit, and the bulging temples clearly indicated extraordinary strength.
Called Yang, the City Guard, the middle-aged man made a dum-dum-dum noise with his feet and quickly approached Liu Hun.
Yang was in charge of security management in the area, essentially a policeman, known for his impartiality, so much so that even the sons of some powerful families were very wary of him.
However, just when everyone thought Yang would arrest Liu Hun, Yang directly cupped his hands toward Liu Hun and respectfully said, "Young Master, do you need my assistance?"
These words left the whole scene stunned, including Xu ShuoMin’s brother, who was also in a daze.
In the past two days, the entire city had been abuzz with rumors about Liu Hun and Mu Xiaoqian. Yang, being someone from the Mu Family in the City of Death, calling Liu Hun "Young Master" made it clear what Liu Hun’s identity was.
"So he is Mu Family’s eldest daughter’s boyfriend Liu Hun, and it’s heard he is also from the Dragon Sect. Who would have thought! But this time, it seems the Xu Family has really hit a brick wall, thinking they found an ally, only to meet with worse."
"Yes, but Xu Shimin has done his fair share of bullying over the years, and now someone is teaching him a lesson, he kind of deserves it."
...
There was a lot of discussion around, but the expressions of the Xu Shimin brothers were extremely unpleasant. They never expected the situation to develop to this point.
"Liu... Brother Liu, I think there must be some misunderstanding in this matter..." At this moment, Xu ShuoMin’s brother slowly came to Liu Hun, smiling apologetically as he spoke.
"Actually, the person you should be apologizing to is not me, but this old man here. This grandfather and grandson are so pitiful, yet you still bullied them like this, which is truly disgraceful; as a member of the Dragon Sect, it’s natural for me to get involved in such matters. Moreover, if this happens again within the city, Dragon Sect will handle it together with the City Guards." Liu Hun’s voice was not loud but clear enough for everyone to hear.
Anyone who stays in the City of Death definitely isn’t a fool, or they wouldn’t have survived to this point; hearing Liu Hun’s words, everyone began to speculate whether his words meant that Dragon Sect was starting to collaborate with the Mu Family.
But considering Liu Hun’s relationship with the Mu Family, everyone understood immediately.
From this day onwards, Dragon Sect thoroughly established its reputation throughout the City of Death, and nobody dared to underestimate or disregard Dragon Sect anymore.
This was the hope Liu Hun brought to the Dragon Sect.
"I’m sorry, old man, this whole matter was my brother’s fault. This card has about half a million in it, consider it compensation from us. I hope you don’t mind this incident," Xu ShuoMin’s brother, being smart, hesitated not a bit, and stepped over to the old man, pulling out a card and handing it to him.
Seeing this, the old man hesitated; before Liu Hun could speak, Wen Xiaodao stepped up and took the card, handing it to the old man: "Old man, since they want to compensate you, just take it. If someone is giving it for free, why not?"
Though Wen Xiaodao’s words were a bit cheeky, Xu ShuoMin’s brother said nothing further and promptly moved back to Liu Hun.
With that, Liu Hun released his foot, and as the two left, Liu Hun reminded them, "I will personally visit your Xu Family later."
Hearing this, Xu ShuoMin’s brother trembled slightly, supporting his brother into the car without looking back and drove home.
"Young Master, are you alright?" After Xu ShuoMin and his group left, Yang continued to express concern to Liu Hun.
"I’m fine, continue with your duties; I need to visit the Xu Family to collect the debts they owe Dragon Sect, so I won’t say much more." Liu Hun nodded to the middle-aged man in front of him, smiling slightly.
Liu Hun knew well that the title was largely due to Mu Yunbo, but for Liu Hun, it was generally a good thing, and he wouldn’t refuse it.
Once in the car, as Wen Xiaodao drove toward the Xu Family, he asked Liu Hun with some concern, "Liu Hun, you just hit the Xu family’s young master, now we’re going to collect a debt, I worry..."
"There’s nothing to worry about, what happened just now was actually a good thing, and I have openly warned those who owe Dragon Sect debts to be ready. Once we recover the money from the Xu Family, the others will obediently return the money; additionally, with the appearance of that City Guard just now, I think our upcoming journey will be much easier." Liu Hun seemed untroubled, even looking a bit relaxed.
Hearing what Liu Hun said, Wen Xiaodao thought carefully, and immediately showed some admiration for Liu Hun, flattering him: "Liu Hun, I thought you were intentionally saying those words, but didn’t expect such depth."
"You thought I was showing off, right?" Liu Hun could easily catch the meaning behind Wen Xiaodao’s words and rolled his eyes, speaking with fake irritation.
"Hehe, it’s just that we’re not as smart as you, Liu Hun, so we didn’t think of all that. Otherwise, the leader wouldn’t think so highly of you," Wen Xiaodao chuckled awkwardly, continuing to flatter him.
