Chapter 89: Chapter 72 Renaming to Scrap Copper Gang

"What?" Zhong Qiang, sitting in his seat, suddenly burst into a rage.

With a wronged expression, Zhong Bing looked at his father, who had abruptly erupted in fury, and didn’t dare to speak. Indeed, being beaten wasn’t something to be proud of, nor was it something to bring up, but with his face beaten to a pulp and under Zhong Qiang’s pressing questions, Zhong Bing had no choice but to tell the truth.

Zhong Qiang was simply beside himself with anger. A son from the Wantian Group had been beaten to a pig-headed mess - if word got out, it would not only be a loss of face for Zhong Bing alone but for the entire Wantian Group as well.

"Didn’t you tell him you’re from the Wantian Group?" Zhong Qiang frowned and said. In Linchuan City, just mentioning you’re from the Wantian Group would usually deter anyone from laying a finger on you.

"I did, but he didn’t seem to be afraid," replied Zhong Bing.

"So you can’t even reclaim a shred of dignity?" Zhong Qiang burst into a rage once more, incredulous that with all the elite bodyguards he had provided his son, he could still be beaten into a pig-headed mess.

Zhong Qiang knew his son liked to fool around outside, so he had provided him with a lot of bodyguards, exactly to prevent such incidents from happening.

"I tried," Zhong Bing suddenly shivered, "but, but..."

"But what?" Zhong Qiang frowned.

"The guy alone defeated the thirty bodyguards I brought with me, all within a minute," whispered Zhong Bing.

"What?" This time, it was Zhong Qiang’s turn to be shocked.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Qiang said, "Explain the situation to me clearly."

Then, Zhong Bing started to recount the day’s events. President Zhong’s face remained impassive as he listened to his son’s actions, but it knitted in a frown upon hearing Li Chen’s threats.

"He really said that?"

"Yes, he said if anyone dares make Lin’s Group disappear, then Wantian Group will disappear," Zhong Bing embellished.

"Good, very good," Zhong Qiang was ominously somber, as if since the establishment of Wantian Group, no one had dared to challenge them like this.

"Do you know his name?" Zhong Qiang tapped his fingers on the table. Such a person needed to be disciplined, and if he still stubbornly blocked the way, then he would have to be made to disappear!

When it came to this, Zhong Qiang had a thousand methods.

"Li Chen," said Zhong Bing.

Just then, Zhong Qiang’s cellphone rang. Picking it up, he immediately heard his secretary’s voice.

Listening to the message from his secretary caused Zhong Qiang’s expression to shift from somber to livid.

"How did our man get caught by the police?"

After listening to the secretary’s account, Zhong Qiang asked, "Can our people be bailed out?"

"President Zhong, the officer in charge of this case is a woman who isn’t on our side; it’s a bit difficult."

"Who did it?" Zhong Qiang said gravely.

"I’ve checked around, and it seems that Lin Xiaoxiao, the younger sister of Lin’s Group’s President Lin, brought people over. However, the lawyer has already gone to inquire personally, and the return message is that it was done by someone called Li Chen."

"Smash"

In an instant, the decoration on the table was flung to the ground.

It was him again!

How could it be that in one single day, this person kept coming into conflict with my Wantian Group?

"President Zhong?" The secretary’s voice came through, inquiring.

"It’s nothing. I’ll handle this matter personally. I’ll contact you if there’s any problem."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Qiang’s expression darkened further, then he dialed a number.

"Hey, Copper Kid, I need you to take care of someone for me."

...

The next day, Li Chen hit the streets to grab breakfast, but several people were already trailing behind him.

Li Chen, as if oblivious, continued to his usual spot and began to order his breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Chen started walking towards an alley, winding and turning until there were hardly any people around.

In an instant, a bunch of hooligans appeared, wielding weapons, with the leader holding an iron club similar to a Wolf Fang Club.

"Kid."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen turned around. Facing such an array of thugs, he showed no signs of fear. Instead, he looked puzzled and asked, "Looking for me?"

"Who else if not you? Is there anyone else here?" The leader, Copper Kid, said coldly.

"What do you want with me? I don’t owe you money," Li Chen said, arms crossed, completely at ease.

"You can only blame yourself for messing with someone you shouldn’t have," Copper Kid said, leading the gang closer to Li Chen.

"Someone I shouldn’t have? Let’s guess. Not Old Wang from next door, that’s wrong, his wife isn’t as pretty as mine. The old man fixing bikes at my door? No, I paid him last time. Or maybe those kids from Chaoyang Primary School? Sure, I took their candy but I also traded something for it; how can you say I’ve offended someone?" Li Chen said with a grin, "Considering how kind I am to everyone, how could I possibly offend anyone?"

Watching Li Chen ramble nonsensically, Copper Kid gestured to a hooligan beside him. Immediately, a dagger was hurled at Li Chen, but with just a flick of his wrist, Li Chen caught the dagger with precision!

Copper Kid and his hooligans were all stunned. This man was a master!

"Ah, now I remember, if we’re talking about offending people, it could only be the Wantian Group," Li Chen spoke as if he’d just realized, "So, Wantian Group sent you?"

Copper Kid didn’t respond. He sensed danger from this man. For some reason, even with his numerous men, a sense of peril emanated from this lone figure.

"Since it’s someone from Wantian Group, I have no reason to show mercy," Li Chen’s gaze had turned cold. Then, without waiting for the other side to make the first move, he already charged towards them!

The hoodlums were startled, but it was already too late. In almost an instant, Li Chen had rushed into the crowd, and a yelp was heard as one hoodlum collapsed straight to the ground.

"Attack!" Copper Kid immediately shouted.

The surrounding hoodlums tried to target Li Chen, but his figure was too fast to track, and instead, their anguished cries were heard intermittently.

"Spread out!"

Copper Kid bellowed.

Li Chen appeared before a hoodlum, who was clearly on guard. Seeing Li Chen suddenly so close gave him a start, but before he could react, Li Chen’s fist had already smashed into his face, knocking him out cold.

Everywhere he went, Li Chen casually took down a hoodlum with ease, looking as if he were darting in and out of an army, as though entering a realm devoid of people!

The hoodlums were all shocked, but suddenly, Li Chen retreated to his original spot and yawned, "This is too troublesome. Come at me all at once."

Copper Kid and the others were astonished and infuriated, then they rushed forward en masse!

But all they saw was that the hoodlums who charged at the front were being thrown around even faster, Li Chen sending them flying without even giving them a chance to strike back!

One after another, the hoodlums charged in, only to be served up for Li Chen to beat, as if they were volunteering to be hit. In just a moment, all the hoodlums who had rushed forward were lying on the ground, except for Copper Kid who hadn’t charged yet.

With the Wolf Fang Club in hand, he looked at his groaning subordinates on the ground and at Li Chen ahead with an impatient look on his face, and couldn’t help but swallow hard!

Zhong Qiang didn’t mention the guy could fight like this. Isn’t this setting me up to fail?

If one person can face off against my entire gang, then why the hell am I cleaning up your mess? I’d be running for my life!

Copper Kid was filled with regret while Li Chen slowly walked towards him.

"What... what are you going to do?" asked Copper Kid, unable to hide his nervousness.

"What am I going to do?" Li Chen looked puzzled. "Wasn’t it you who wanted to do something to me?"

"You’ve got it all wrong," Copper Kid wished he could knock himself out with a brick, "We were just... just passing by."

"Just passing by? I doubt it was such a coincidence," Li Chen said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "considering I took you for a nice half-hour walk."

Copper Kid felt a surge of shock. Had the other party already noticed them?

"Tell me, did Wantian Group send you to take me out?" Li Chen straightened out Copper Kid’s collar.

Copper Kid swallowed, "Yes."

He didn’t dare lie; the man before him was truly unpredictable.

Pretty honest, Li Chen continued to ask, "What’s the name of Wantian Group’s boss?"

"Zhong Qiang," Copper Kid said without hesitating.

"Do you know where he lives?"

At Water Dragon Bay," Copper Kid didn’t hesitate to betray Zhong Qiang. What a joke, sending us to a certain death, maybe it’s time for you to feel the terror too.

"Be more specific," Li Chen instructed.

"Villa No. 14 at Water Dragon Bay."

Seeing Li Chen fall silent, Copper Kid waited nervously for his response, knowing full well he might have to crawl back if the answer didn’t satisfy, and perhaps even that privilege would be denied.

Looking up at Copper Kid, Li Chen frowned, "What are you still doing with that thing?"

Copper Kid immediately threw away the Wolf Fang Club he was holding.

"How should you act when you see me in the future?" Li Chen asked indifferently.

Copper Kid quickly responded, "We’ll take a detour. If you tell us to go east, we will not go west."

Not bad, the kid catches on quick.

Nodding his head, Li Chen inquired, "So, do you still plan to teach me a lesson?"

"No, no, no, it’s you who has taught us a lesson," Copper Kid hurriedly shook his head in denial.

Li Chen nodded and said nothing more as he walked out of the alleyway.

Seeing Li Chen leaving his side, Copper Kid let out a sigh of relief. It was only then that he realized the back of his shirt was drenched in sweat.

"Oh, and one more thing," Li Chen turned his head back, causing Copper Kid’s nerves, which had just begun to relax, to tense up again.

"What’s the name of your gang?" Li Chen asked.

"Bronze Gang," Copper Kid quickly replied.

"That name isn’t very pleasant to hear, change it," Li Chen said, "I think Scrap Copper Gang sounds good. Use that from now on."

"Yes, from today onwards, we’ll be called Scrap Copper Gang," Copper Kid could only hope for the God of Slaughter to get as far away from him as possible.

"I have some friends in the underworld too, and if I learn that you haven’t changed your gang’s name, you know what the consequences will be, right?"

"Rest assured, from now on, we are the Scrap Copper Gang," Copper Kid declared loudly.

Only then did Li Chen leave contentedly.

Scrap Copper Gang, Copper Kid thought with bitter amusement, guessing that from now on, they’d likely have to stick with this new label.
