Chapter 52

"Da Han, protect Ding Li!"

Seeing the knife-wielding men rushing forward, Xiao Chen tightened his grip on the broadsword in his hand, his figure flickering as he turned into a blur and charged into the crowd.

"Alright!"

Li Han nodded, leaped towards Ding Li, grabbed his arm, and threw him onto the nearby sofa: "Take cover!"

"Everyone, get out of the way, shoot them down!"

Huang Xing, seeing Xiao Chen still daring to move under the gun barrels, was furious and wanted to shoot, but he was afraid of hitting his own men, so he just shouted.

Taking advantage of the moment when the knife-wielders scattered, Xiao Chen shook the blood off his broadsword, his figure like a ghost, and in an instant, he was in front of Huang Xing.

"Be careful!"

Sun Fei, leaning against the wall, shouted a warning.

Huang Xing's heart tightened, and he subconsciously pulled the trigger.

Bang.

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a knife-wielder fell in a pool of blood, his chest stained with blood.

Just as Huang Xing was about to pull the trigger again, he felt a chill on his neck, and a blood-stained broadsword was pressed against his throat.

"Hall Master Huang, you seem to know a lot about top-notch experts... But did you know that a top-notch expert can take the head of a general in the midst of a thousand soldiers?"

A faint voice sounded in Huang Xing's ear.

"Let go of Brother Xing!"

"Let go of Master Xing!"

Seeing Huang Xing in Xiao Chen's hands, Guangtou She and the others were all shocked, their guns pointing at Xiao Chen's head.

"Make your men put down their guns."

Xiao Chen didn't even look at the guns in Guangtou She's hands, just tightened his grip on the broadsword.

"Xiao Chen, if you let me go, I'll let you leave alive..."

Under the circumstances, Huang Xing had to lower his head.

"Ha ha, do you think a few guns can stop me?"

Xiao Chen sneered.

"Kid, let go of Brother Xing, or I'll shoot!"

Guangtou She shouted loudly.

"Sure, let's see if your gun is faster or my sword is faster!"

Xiao Chen said, swinging his broadsword and cutting Huang Xing's skin, blood flowing down the blade.

Huang Xing's body trembled, his face turning pale. This guy really dared to do it!

Guangtou She and the others were also hesitant, not daring to get any closer.

"I'll count to three, and if they don't put down their guns, I'll cut off your head."

Xiao Chen applied more force with his right hand, the wound deeper, the blood flowing faster.

"Are you going to kill me? If I die, you'll die under a hail of bullets..."

Huang Xing gritted his teeth and asked.

"Ha ha, you can try and see if I have the guts! But I have to warn you, we might not die, but you definitely will... Maybe, if I kill you, he'll thank me!"

Xiao Chen said, pointing at Guangtou She, smiling.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Huang Xing and Guangtou She's faces changed, especially the latter, who almost jumped up. What a damn heartless thing to say!

"If I kill you, he can take your place, sit in your seat, and spend your money... If this guy is a scumbag, he might even sleep with your women..."

"Xiao Chen, don't talk nonsense! Brother Xing, I..."

Guangtou She was flustered, shouting loudly.

"Alright, I'll start counting!"

"Xiao Chen, if you kill me, aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the entire Flying Eagle Gang?"

"Ha ha, if I kill you, the other hall leaders will probably be very grateful... One!"

"You, you know?"

"Of course, the internal strife in the Flying Eagle Gang, how could I not know... Two!"

"You..."

"Three!"

Without waiting for Huang Xing to speak, Xiao Chen applied more force with his right hand, and blood spurted out.

"Ah... No, everyone, put down your guns, put them down quickly..."

The intense pain made Huang Xing panic. He could clearly feel death approaching... This feeling made him shiver, his soul trembling!

Xiao Chen stopped the broadsword that had cut through Huang Xing's skin and even muscle, as precisely as a doctor controlling a scalpel... The latter's body trembled, and he felt that if he had spoken a second later, his artery would have been torn, and blood would have gushed out like a fountain...

"You saved your own life."

Xiao Chen's smile remained unchanged.

"Put down your guns, put them down quickly..."

Fear rose in Huang Xing's heart, and he regretted setting up this trap tonight!

His confidants slowly put down their guns, but Guangtou She hesitated, knowing Xiao Chen's terror. Once they put down their guns, they would have no leverage!

"See, I was right, wasn't I?"

Xiao Chen pointed at Guangtou She, grinning.

"Damn it, She, put down your gun... Do you want me to die?!"

Huang Xing was furious, shouting loudly.

"Brother Xing, don't listen to him, I have no other intentions..."

"Then put down your gun quickly, I'm bleeding to death!"

Guangtou She gritted his teeth and slowly put down his gun.

"Da Han, collect their guns!"

Seeing them put down their guns, Xiao Chen felt a bit relieved. Although he was confident he could escape the gun barrels, Da Han and Ding Li couldn't!

Li Han stepped forward, picked up the guns on the ground, and came to Xiao Chen's side, giving him a thumbs up: "Brother Chen, impressive."

"Xiao Chen, can you let me go now?"

Huang Xing, having lost so much blood, was feeling a bit dizzy.

"Sure."

Xiao Chen nodded and moved the broadsword from Huang Xing's neck. As long as the other side had no guns, with his and Da Han's strength, they could easily fight their way out, and no one could stop them!

Huang Xing's body swayed, almost falling to the ground.

Xiao Chen glanced at him and quickly poked a few spots near his neck, and the blood flow visibly slowed...

Huang Xing also noticed this, his eyes wide. What kind of technique was this? Could this stop the bleeding?

Guangtou She and the others were also shocked. Wasn't this something from martial arts novels? Stopping bleeding by pressing acupoints? Or something?

Sun Fei, who had been slumped in the corner, twitched his eyelids. Who exactly was Xiao Chen? Could it be...

"Don't be nervous, I'm just stopping the bleeding. You don't have to thank me. I still have some things to talk about with you... If you die from blood loss, who will I talk to?" Xiao Chen said calmly.

"..."

Huang Xing gritted his teeth. Damn it, it's like my wound has nothing to do with you? Should I thank you?

"Hall Master Huang, we've eaten, drunk, and fought. Now, shouldn't we have a good talk?" Xiao Chen pulled a chair and sat down.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Regarding the matter of Guangtou She collecting protection money from the Qincheng Company, originally, if he had apologized, I wouldn't have cared... But since you want to settle accounts, I'll settle them!"

"Settle what?"

"How much protection money have you collected from the Qincheng Company? Now, double, no, triple it, and this matter will be over."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Huang Xing and the others' faces turned green!

What?

The protection money they had collected, they had to pay back? And triple it?

Damn, was this protection money or high-interest loans?

If they really gave in, how could they keep face on the streets?

"What? Don't want to pay?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Xiao Chen, aren't you being a bit too overbearing?!" Huang Xing shouted angrily.

"Too overbearing? Ha ha, didn't you say that when you were bullying me?"

"But we provided protection to the Qincheng Company when we collected the protection money!"

"Protection? Ha ha, tell me, what protection have you provided to the Qincheng Company since you started collecting the protection money, and how many problems have you solved for them? I'm a reasonable person. If you really did something, I wouldn't ask for a single cent!"

"..."

Huang Xing looked at Guangtou She, who thought for a moment and helplessly shook his head. They had only collected money and provided no protection.

Huang Xing's mouth twitched a few times, and he argued: "Even if we did nothing, it's because those who caused trouble heard that the Qincheng Company was under the protection of the Flying Eagle Gang, so they didn't dare to cause trouble..."

"Damn, if you're so powerful, why don't you go to heaven? Why don't you save the world? Cut the crap, pay or not?" Xiao Chen was impatient, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Huang Xing's heart trembled, remembering the feeling of death earlier, he gritted his teeth and gave in: "Alright, I'll pay the protection money, but can it be less than triple?"

"Quadruple!"

"What? You just said..."

"Five times!"

"I... I'll pay! Five times, five times!"

Huang Xing was almost in tears. Damn it, if he didn't agree, it would probably be six times soon!

"Actually, you could have held out a bit longer, it's not even ten times yet." Xiao Chen's face changed, and he smiled again: "Hall Master Huang, a wise man knows when to yield. You're a smart person!"

"..."

Not only was Huang Xing about to cry, but Guangtou She and the others were also about to cry. This couldn't be spread around, or the Falcon Hall would lose face!

"Tell me, how much protection money have you collected in total?"

"How much, She?" Huang Xing, who didn't know, asked Guangtou She.

"About..."

"Don't say 'about.' If you're wrong, it will be doubled." Xiao Chen said, looking at Guangtou She.

"..."

Guangtou She's mouth twitched a few times, scratching his bald head. He hadn't counted!

"Think carefully before you speak!" Huang Xing reminded him.

"Can I call Liu Da Kui? He gets a share every month, he should remember..."

"What? He gets a share too?" Xiao Chen was angry, a traitor!

"Yes."

"Damn, the next time I see that bastard, I'll break his legs!" Xiao Chen cursed: "Call him quickly!"

"Yes..."

"Actually, you don't need to call. You've been collecting protection money for a whole year... I started when I joined the company, and I've been there for a year."

Suddenly, Ding Li spoke weakly.

"A year? Three ten thousand a month, that's 360,000 a year, five times..."

"1.8 million!" Huang Xing quickly said.

"Ha ha, Hall Master Huang, your math is pretty good, a waste to be in the underworld... Let's round it up to 2 million, and we'll be even... I was going to ask for some compensation for mental distress, but I'll let it go!"

"What? Compensation for mental distress?"

"Yes, look at tonight, with all the knives and guns, it scared the hell out of me. Shouldn't I get some compensation for shock? Look at that kid, he's scared to death. Isn't it reasonable to ask for compensation for mental distress?" Xiao Chen pointed at Ding Li.

"Reasonable, reasonable, 2 million, I'll pay!"

Huang Xing quickly nodded, afraid that if he kept talking, it would become 3 million!

I was locked in the writing software, just got out... So I didn't update on time, three updates! Can you forgive me?
