Chapter 170: Chapter 0170: What a Grand Display

His tone was calm, even devoid of any threat, yet at this moment, it was akin to King Yama himself speaking!

Already, several thugs had started to feel intimidated, as the intense killing aura emanating from Chu Ge nearly shattered their courage!

However, just as some were showing signs of surrender, a man at the very back became desperate.

He was in charge of the tenth floor, and if Poison Snake knew he retreated without fighting, the consequences awaiting him would be far more terrifying than death.

Therefore, seeing his underlings about to lose their fighting spirit, he suddenly roared, "What the hell are you all scared of? No matter how formidable he is, he’s just one person! What do you think Snake feeds you for every day? Don’t say I didn’t warn you ugly upfront, this time anyone who dares surrender in the heat of battle, whether it’s Snake or me, we’ll not let him off easy!"

The pressure was real, thus although frightened, those thugs still gripped their knives tightly.

But just as the leader was about to charge forward with a roar, he paused in astonishment, for Chu Ge was nowhere to be seen in front of him.

"Hey, where is he? Wasn’t he just..."

The leading thug asked doubtfully, but his words were only half-spoken before they would be forever unuttered.

He only felt a chill at his throat, then his body’s strength vanished like the tide.

The leading thug clutched at his neck, but still, a great deal of blood spurted between his fingers. He glared with bulging eyes at Chu Ge, and at the Tang Blade slowly dripping with blood...

He probably never understood, even in death, how this young man had vanished and reappeared beside him in an instant, slashing his throat with a blade!

"Thud—"

The sound of the body falling to the ground echoed in the hall. Chu Ge twirled the Tang Blade in his hand, turned his head, and looked at the remaining thugs: "Who’s next? Who wants to be the next one?"

"Clang—"

A clear sound of metal striking the ground rang out as a thug threw away his slicer, then crouched on the ground with hands over his head.

Once the first man succumbed, the ’clang clangs’ were ceaseless; the ground got covered with slicers, reflecting blinding light in the sunset.

Chu Ge suddenly smiled, said not a word, stepped over the knives on the ground, passed by those thugs who crouched with their heads in their hands, and slowly walked up the stairs to the eleventh floor.

...

Twelfth floor, a multitude of men in black stood in the corridor, making the originally spacious hallway extremely crowded. Yet, not a single person made a sound; the quiet environment was so still that even breathing was faintly audible.

The elevator only reached the eleventh floor, so everyone’s eyes were focused on the stairway entrance.

"Tap—Tap—Tap—"

Crisp footsteps rang out in such an environment, everyone held their breath, their muscles tensed, as if the creature approaching was not just a young man in his early twenties, but a ferocious monster!

Finally, the figure of Chu Ge appeared at the staircase entrance.

He was dressed in a plain black suit—the same one he wore at the office, which he had not yet changed out of.

The fresh blood on the Tang Blade had already dripped dry; at this moment, sunlight pierced through the glass, casting reflections on the blade and refracting a blinding sheen.

"What a grand setup!"

Facing a corridor full of people, Chu Ge showed no signs of nervousness or worry. Instead, he smiled indifferently, still holding the Tang Blade at an angle, walking towards the crowd leisurely.

"Snake just said!"

It cannot be denied that even though this young man looked naïve, the oppressive aura he radiated was palpably suffocating!

Old Wolf took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calm, "With Mr. Chu’s capabilities, why stoop to be a mere HR manager at Jinxiu Group?"

"Oh?" Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face, "You know about this too?"

"Of course, Mr. Chu, you should trust our company’s capabilities!"

Seeing Chu Ge’s smiling face, Old Wolf felt a flicker of hope, hastily saying, "Snake said, as long as you help us, aside from him, you’ll be the most powerful!"

It cannot be denied, this offer was quite tempting to others, to the extent that several of the thugs’ eyes even reddened slightly.

These people, following their bosses and risking their lives, isn’t it all to stand out among others?

"Heh heh?" Chu Ge shook his head and chuckled, "So what should I say, your scope is just too small!"

"What do you mean?" Old Wolf furrowed his brows.

"I sent an email to Poison Snake about twenty minutes ago, telling him to prepare early and to make arrangements with the crematorium in advance. I wonder how his preparations are going now."

With these words, Chu Ge effectively tore away all pretenses.

Old Wolf’s expression suddenly turned grim, and he gritted his teeth, "Chu Ge! I respected you as a capable man, that’s why I addressed you as Mr. Chu! But have you thought about what you really are, what era this is? Do you think, by power alone, you can do as you please?"

While he spoke, he stepped back a few paces and waved his hand.

"Click—"

A sound of metal friction resounded, and the big men in the corridor each pulled out crossbows from behind. Clearly, they had trained for this before; it only took them a few seconds to cock the crossbow arrows and then aim them simultaneously at Chu Ge.

The feeling of being aimed at by hundreds of crossbow arrows was certainly unpleasant—at least Old Wolf had thought, if he were in that position, his legs would probably be weakening.

What he hadn’t expected was that this exceedingly young-looking man showed no sign of fear at all, instead, his lips curled into a faint mocking smile.

"Aren’t you afraid of dying?" Old Wolf deeply furrowed his brows, "Mr. Chu, I’ll give you one last chance, as long as you follow Snake, money, women, status, ask for anything, there’s almost nothing you can’t get! Your skills are indeed formidable, but no matter how formidable, can they stop hundreds of crossbow arrows?"

At this point, Old Wolf seemed to regain some confidence, continuing, "What Huo Tianqian can offer you, Snake can too, even more. You need to think it over, you’re just over twenty, you have a long life ahead, it’s not worth it to waste your life on so-called martial world’s righteousness."
