Chapter 69: Chapter 69: A Wise Man Does Not Suffer Immediate Losses

"What... what is this?"

Lin Bao was instantly dumbfounded.

As a guest at Feiyun Villa, not only was Wu Hongling not siding with him, but she was actually making him, Lin Bao, pay compensation to Peng Hu and Chen Dashan?!

"Chairman Wu... this... isn’t right! They are the ones who broke the rules!"

Lin Bao tried to argue.

But Wu Hongling silenced him with a stern look.

"I will deal with their rule-breaking later. Right now, you’re the one who hasn’t honored the gambling agreement. If you refuse to pay, I have ways to make you settle the debt!"

After saying that, Wu Hongling swept her icy gaze over Lin Bao from head to toe.

Lin Bao felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe.

Wu Hongling’s gaze was not just on him.

It was as if she was looking at a corpse!

"Fine... I’ll pay... I’ll just pay..."

Although Lin Bao was extremely unwilling, he was still coerced by Wu Hongling’s authority.

He honestly pulled out a bank card.

Under the operation of the black-clad bodyguards following behind Wu Hongling, he directly transferred one million in cash to Chen Dashan’s account.

Seeing that Lin Bao had nearly settled everything,

Wu Hongling then stepped forward, gracefully walking up to Chen Dashan.

She held her chest up high, as if showing defiance.

But Chen Dashan’s height was exceptional even among men,

not to mention Wu Hongling as a woman.

Her action, far from having the intended effect,

only gave Chen Dashan a good view.

Her deep cleavage almost made Chen Dashan’s eyes pop out.

And Wu Hongling, seemingly oblivious to Chen Dashan’s invasive look,

spoke quite coldly, "Liu Qingquan is one of our National Martial Arts Association members. You hurt him because he was incompetent, but Lin Bao is our guest at Feiyun Villa. If you dare to harm him, you’re opposing Feiyun Villa and must pay the price!"

Chen Dashan smiled lightly.

Then he teased, "So, what price should I pay? Should I offer myself to you, Chairman Wu?"

The black-clad bodyguards behind Wu Hongling could not sit still any longer.

They angrily said, "You brat! How dare you be so impudent in front of Chairman Wu. Do you believe I can end you right here?!"

Chen Dashan slightly raised an eyebrow, disdainfully saying, "Alright, come on then. I didn’t quite satisfy my urge to fight just now. You guys look much more robust than Lin Bao; I’m sure hitting you would feel great, right?"

Chen Dashan made his fists crackle.

It looked like a fight was about to break out with the black-clad bodyguards.

At that moment, Wu Hongling raised her hand, stopping the dispute.

"Don’t be foolish!"

Then she directly reached out, firmly grabbing Chen Dashan’s shoulder.

She said in a stern voice, "You broke the rules, so you must apologize and be punished! Apologize to Lin Bao and compensate him with money. Then, this matter will be considered settled, and we at Feiyun Villa will not pursue it further."

Chen Dashan’s lips curled into a sneer.

"Ha, you want me to apologize to Lin Bao? Why should I? If you’re not convinced, let Lin Bao continue to challenge me. I won’t stop until his mother can’t recognize him, and if that doesn’t happen, then I’m not a Chen!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the crowd erupted into uproar once again.

Soon, the audience began to discuss in groups.

"Ha, this kid really doesn’t know whether he’s alive or dead, daring to challenge Chairman Wu? Does he really think that defeating Liu Qingquan makes him invincible?"

"Exactly, Chairman Wu was being considerate of the bigger picture and gave Chen Dashan a way out by just asking him to pay some money and apologize. If it were the old ways of Chairman Wu, he wouldn’t consider it settled until he had broken his limbs and utterly destroyed his Martial Arts!"

"Ah... You say this Chen Dashan, not only does he not appreciate Chairman Wu’s mercy, but he also acts clever after taking advantage? There’s going to be a good show now."

It wasn’t just the audience.

Wu Hongling also frowned when she heard Chen Dashan’s response.

Her voice cold, she asked, "Chen Dashan, are you trying to challenge the rules of Feiyun Villa? Do you know that I, Wu Hongling, have the full capability to ensure that neither you nor Peng Hu leave Feiyun Villa alive!"

Chen Dashan dismissively waved his hand.

Turning around, he pulled Peng Hu and walked away.

As they walked, without even turning his head back, he said, "I absolutely don’t care about your damn rules at Feiyun Villa. I want to leave, and you absolutely can’t stop me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking,

than Wu Hongling, who had been standing still, suddenly flashed.

The next second, she appeared right in front of Chen Dashan.

She sneered, "Chen Dashan, just because you defeated Liu Qingquan, the most negligible member in our association, do you really think your Martial Arts are unmatched? If you really want to leave, it’s not impossible."

After saying this, Wu Hongling pointed at the huge fighting platform, her smile growing wider.

"Why not, have a bet with me. Let’s follow the rules. Get on the platform and have a match, if you win against me, you are free to leave the villa and I, Wu Hongling, will not say another word. But if you lose..."

Mimicking Chen Dashan’s earlier demeanor, Wu Hongling scanned his body with an aggressive gaze.

Then, licking her lips, she showed a dangerous smile, "I want you, Chen Dashan, to serve me as a servant for three years. During these years, you have to do whatever I say, obediently be Wu Hongling’s good dog!"

This stirred the audience completely.

Today’s tournament was truly worth it.

They not only saw Chen Dashan overturn Liu Qingquan, who had eighteen consecutive victories.

They might also witness Chairman Wu make a move after a long time!

The audience was eager to know just how terrifying the level of Chairman Wu’s strength had become over the years.

And Chen Dashan was undoubtedly the best punching bag!

Conversely,

Peng Hu was already terrified, shivering all over.

He once again pulled Chen Dashan away, whispering, "Brother Chen, maybe we should just bow and apologize. You don’t know, Chairman Wu is not only immensely powerful but also has wide connections and enormous influence. Opposing her is tantamount to seeking death! A wise man does not eat the loss in front of him. As long as we keep the green mountains, we won’t fear running out of firewood, Brother Chen!"

Chen Dashan looked disdainful, "Peng Hu, when did you become such a coward, have all those muscles grown for nothing? Are you actually afraid of a woman?"

Peng Hu was at a loss and could only state the truth: "I... I’m afraid you can’t beat her... Just in case—I mean just in case! If you lose, Wu Hongling will definitely turn you into a fighting machine who fights nonstop 24 hours a day, and the living would be worse than those of pigs and dogs! I’ve already heard of many such cases!"

Chen Dashan, as if he hadn’t heard, lightly laughed and patted Peng Hu’s shoulder.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I absolutely won’t lose. This thorny rose might sting a bit, but ultimately, it’s there to be picked."

Having said this, Chen Dashan gave Wu Hongling a meaningful smile, then the two separated to opposite corners of the platform, ready to step up and compete.
