Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Those Who Offend Me Shall Be Killed! (Please Vote for Recommendation)

Hua Shanjiu looked at the bodyguards charging towards him in fear, knowing that the Hua Family, as a major clan in Zhonghai City, possessed tremendous power.

But there were also many adversaries; hence, the bodyguards by Hua Muran’s side were genuine experts, against whom he had no chance to resist.

With this in mind, a ruthless gleam flashed across Hua Shanjiu’s eyes as he made a sound, pulling his hand off the chopsticks before immediately dropping to his knees. He kowtowed to Xiao Zheng and Hua Muran like pounding garlic, tears and snot flowing, and cried out loud:

"Family Head, please spare my life! I was blind to not recognize Taishan. If I had known Xiao Zheng was a friend of the Family Head, even with a thousand, ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing."

The crowd watched Hua Shanjiu kowtowing on the ground and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. At the beginning, Hua Shanjiu was so arrogant, cursing directly at Xiao Zheng, and now he lay at Xiao Zheng’s feet, abject as if he were nothing but dust.

"The young prodigy of those years, still as extraordinary as ever." At this moment, almost everyone had this thought spontaneously emerge in their minds.

Seeing this, the bodyguards ready to act looked at Hua Muran.

Hua Muran’s expression was indifferent as she said, "Attack!" indicating she had no intention of showing mercy.

A cold light flickered in the bodyguards’ eyes as they prepared to take action. Hua Shanjiu saw this and closed his eyes in despair. It was at this moment that a faint voice sounded.

"Xiao Ran, let’s let him off this time, as he has already learned his lesson."

Xiao Zheng said mildly with a smile.

Hua Muran was startled and said, "But, Brother Xiao..."

Xiao Zheng waved his hand and smiled, "He merely offended me with his words, it’s nothing."

Hua Muran immediately nodded. Naturally, she executed every word of Xiao Zheng without fail. She waved her hand to stop the bodyguards and said coldly to Hua Shanjiu, "Get lost, and don’t let me see you again."

Hua Shanjiu became ecstatic and called out, "Thank you, thank you, Family Head, thank you, Master Xiao."—his words were jumbled. Then, not daring to stay any longer, he got up and ran out, stumbling, fearing Xiao Zheng would change his mind.

As he left, blood dripped from beneath his palm, a striking red.

After all this, Hua Muran looked at Xiao Zheng, for how could she not understand? Xiao Zheng had spared Hua Shanjiu for her sake.

After all, Hua Shanjiu was her elder. If she dealt with him here, no matter what, it would not reflect well on her reputation.

Otherwise, with Xiao Zheng’s way of handling things in the past, there would’ve been no need for Hua Muran to intervene; Hua Shanjiu would have been a corpse already!

As the situation unfolded to this point, the gaze of everyone present shifted to Luo Qianhua and Qing Liancheng.

At this moment, Xiao Zheng was seated at the main seat of the banquet table, with Hua Muran standing beside him. Luo Qianhua and Qing Liancheng were distanced far from Xiao Zheng, looking like criminals under interrogation.

Luo Qianhua’s eyes flashed as he realized they were completely defeated. In front of everyone, he actually fell to his knees and begged Xiao Zheng for mercy.

Seeing this, Qing Liancheng, although very reluctant, knew that to save his own life, he had no choice but to do the same. Clenching his teeth, he also knelt down.

Everyone watched as two of Zhonghai’s high-level bigwigs were now, quite starkly, like two drowned rats, crawling on the ground in a state of utter distress and misery.

Even though they had anticipated such a scene, those present couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim at Xiao Zheng, who remained true to his extraordinary nature.

Xiao Zheng merely smiled faintly at the pleas of the two men and did not respond. Instead, he turned his head toward Luo Yusheng beside him and asked, "Yusheng, how did Tianji Sect traditionally judge those who harbored malice?"

Luo Yusheng looked at the two men—Luo Qianhua and Qing Liancheng—with a cold smirk and said, "Traitors of the sect, one arm must be crippled!"

At once, Luo Qianhua and Qing Liancheng panicked.

As individuals who stood at the top of society and had experienced countless pleasures, being crippled would mean a fate worse than death. They both kowtowed frantically, pleading even more desperately for mercy.

Xiao Zheng lightly savored his wine, paying them no heed.

To dare to take the Evil God lightly, how could they not pay a price?

Xiao Zheng was never soft-hearted, but a true man of iron blood!

"Damn it!"

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, a touch of madness flashed in Qing Liancheng’s eyes, and he abruptly stood up, pulling out a pistol from his bosom and aiming it at Xiao Zheng!

At the same time, there was a loud shout.

Boom!

Suddenly, the hall was in chaos. Dozens of bodyguards, with cold eyes wielding pistols and submachine guns, stormed in, the clicking sound of gun bolts echoing, dark muzzles all aimed at Xiao Zheng!

Luo Qianhua also stood up.

"Xiao Zheng, you forced us into this!"

He said coldly as he looked at Xiao Zheng.

These two men had gone mad.

Hua Muran, looking at the two crazed men, said indifferently, "Luo Qianhua, Qing Liancheng, do you no longer wish to live? Attacking Brother Xiao is attacking me!"

"Heh heh heh..." Qing Liancheng laughed maniacally, "Life is already over, why should I care about so much? Hua Muran, if you stay out of this today, I might spare your life!"

With a single movement, Luo Yusheng positioned himself in front of Xiao Zheng and said coldly to Luo Qianhua and Qing Liancheng, "You’ve gone mad! Have you considered the consequences of your actions? Death without a place for your corpse!"

Yun Tianlong also laughed wildly, saying, "Heh heh, even if your bodyguards are numerous, they might not be a match for us three!"

"Is that so? Let’s find out, then!" Luo Qianhua said coldly.

With a wave of his hand.

All the bodyguards were ready to make their move.

At this moment, everyone else was trembling in fear, filled with regret. This incident tonight would surely have a huge impact on the entirety of Zhonghai City, and even they might be affected!

Hua Muran had already called her own bodyguards to shield Xiao Zheng to his left and right. Luo Yusheng and Qing Liancheng were also fully alert, ready to counterattack at any moment.

Yet at this time, Xiao Zheng was still calmly sipping his wine, his expression unchanged.

Unshaken even as Mount Tai crumbled before him.

He just let out a light sigh.

Luo Qianhua immediately sneered, "What, having regrets now? I can give you a chance. If from now on we stay out of each other’s way, I might spare you today!"

Luo Qianhua knew that killing Xiao Zheng here would bring no benefits and would surely lead to terrible retaliation, so even at this moment, he was still hoping to make peace.

Xiao Zheng let out a bitter smile and shook his head, "You are mistaken, I am sighing because you do not understand. Since I was preparing to deal with you using the rules of the sect, I still treated you as people of Tianji Sect."

"We are all brothers. After this, everything is negotiable."

"But you have given up that chance yourselves... What can I do? Since you are no longer part of Tianji Sect, you are now my enemies, Xiao Zheng, and enemies only deserve death!"

"Bang!"

As Xiao Zheng’s tone turned cold and his speech ended, the wine glass in his hand shattered into pieces with a bang—a shower of fragments flew apart!

Then, bang, bang, bang!

A series of disturbances erupted from outside the window...
