Chapter 289: Chapter 0289: Man About to Die
The airplane can be considered the fastest mode of transportation currently available. In less than two hours, they had already landed at Su City’s airport.
Due to the last defeat of Huo Tianqian, all the strongholds he had set up in Su City were destroyed, so this time no one came to pick them up.
On this trip, everything was arranged by Huo Tianqian, who had booked a five-star hotel in advance. They decided to rest for the night, as it was already past five o’clock in the evening.
...
Inside a certain building, a man dressed in a Tang costume was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the screen in front of him.
The screen was showing Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian. At this moment, his attention was mostly focused on Huo Tianqian. After a while, he said, "Strange, I chopped off his arm myself, so why does it now seem perfectly intact?"
Next to him, a man in a suit bowed his head and said respectfully, "Hmm, it might be a prosthetic, but according to our observations, his injuries seem to have healed quite a bit. He can move like an ordinary person without issues."
"Recovered?"
The middle-aged man in the Tang costume narrowed his eyes and after a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "Take some disciples with you and check it out. If possible, capture him and bring him to me!"
"Yes!" The man in the suit did not dare to object and after receiving the order, he left the room.
Watching the two people on the screen, the man in the Tang costume slammed his hand forcefully on the table. A stainless steel table was actually indented by his powerful handprint, and the other people sitting at the table all fell silent, not daring to utter another word.
"Hmph, these guys, why come at this time of all times! If I wasn’t worried that they would discover the secret as well, I would have taken care of them myself."
In the hotel, Huo Tianqian was sitting on Chu Ge’s room sofa, slowly telling him about the situation in Su City.
Because Chu Ge had been preoccupied with wrapping up work in Shanghai, he hadn’t had the chance to ask. Since it was still early today, he let Huo Tianqian analyze the general situation of Su City.
"Su City is dominated by the Tang Family and the Shen Family. The Tang Family is connected to an Ancient Martial Sect called Tang Sect, and it was the Tang Sect that almost took my life last time!"
Chu Ge went to pour two glasses of water, passing one to Huo Tianqian, and nodded slightly, "Mm-hmm, continue."
Huo Tianqian, flattered by the attention, took the glass and after taking a sip, slowly said, "Within Tang Sect, there is at least one Innate Grandmaster. Anyway, the one who injured me was a Zun of the Innate. As for more detailed information about this Ancient Martial Sect, I don’t have much understanding. As for the Tang and Shen Families in Shanghai, I’ve already sent the information to you. Did you have a chance to review it?"
"Mm." Chu Ge nodded, "I’ve read it and have some understanding of these two families."
"That’s right." Huo Tianqian glanced at the setting sun outside the window and said, "But there is a piece of recent news: the Old Master of the Tang Family’s birthday is coming up, so the major powers in Su City will come to offer their congratulations. With the connection to Tang Sect, I expect that many Ancient Martial Sects will also be present."
"The Old Master Tang’s birthday, huh." Chu Ge’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he suddenly asked, "Can you get an invitation?"
Huo Tianqian showed a troubled expression and waved his hands, "If it were before, maybe. But now, I’m practically on Tang Sect’s hit list. However, I think Mr. Ouyang and his connections might be able to get one."
Hearing this, Chu Ge did not pursue further.
He thought about it and it made sense; although the Tang Family governed half of Su City, they still couldn’t compare with the Ouyang family. Getting an invitation should be a piece of cake for the Ouyang family.
Realizing this, Chu Ge waved his hand, preparing to send Huo Tianqian back and get some rest himself.
However, just as Huo Tianqian stood up, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open, and five or six men in suits walked in.
Upon seeing these people, Huo Tianqian’s face changed, and his muscles tensed up.
They were people from the Tang Sect!
The leader was a man in his thirties with a little goatee, who sized up Huo Tianqian and sneered, "Oh, isn’t this Master Huo? How come, after going through so much trouble to escape with your life back to Shanghai, you dare to come back?"
Just as the atmosphere became extremely tense, a somewhat lazy voice suddenly came from the side, "I say, you guys, didn’t your parents teach you manners when you were young?"
"Manners?" The little goatee man frowned.
"That’s right." Chu Ge downed the hot water from his cup and looked at the little goatee man, his gaze gradually growing colder, "For example, you should knock before entering a room, not kick the door in!"
The little goatee man stared at Chu Ge, and after a few seconds, he burst into loud laughter.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha... Ha-ha-ha-ha... Did you hear that? This kid seems to want to teach me, to be polite?"
Hearing the little goatee man say this, the others also started laughing loudly, looking at Chu Ge with scorn in their eyes.
After a good laugh, the little goatee man finally stopped laughing and looked at Chu Ge fiercely, saying, "Kid, if you had kept silent, I might have let you die quickly. I never talk about manners with a person who’s bound to die!"
The little goatee man’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he spoke, clearly indicating that he intended to let none of the people in the room go!
"Mr. Chu..." Huo Tianqian turned his head back and called out tentatively.
At present, he was only at the Postnatal Middle Stage of strength, and because he had been artificially elevated by Chu Ge from an ordinary person, his combat ability was equivalent to an average Martial Artist in the Postnatal Early Stage.
As for these people, they were all True Disciples of Tang Sect, none lower than the Postnatal Early Stage, and the little goatee, being a Postnatal Middle Stage Martial Artist, had an overwhelming advantage over Huo Tianqian. He hardly stood a chance against them.
And after the little goatee man made that statement, he no longer looked at Chu Ge. Instead, he set his sights on Huo Tianqian and sneered, "So, Master Huo, this time do you plan to suffer less and obediently come back with us? Or do you want me to break your arms and legs before dragging you back?"
With a confidence born of his own strength, the little goatee man certainly had the upper hand over Huo Tian, especially here in Su City, their home turf. He didn’t need to hold back at all!
"You’re right."
At this moment, Chu Ge suddenly looked at the little goatee man and said calmly, "Indeed, there is no need to discuss manners with someone who’s destined to die!"
