Chapter 432: Chapter 0433: Do You Know Him

When Huo Tianqian arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, he saw a portly man standing anxiously at the door from afar.

He slightly restrained his expression, got out of the car, and strolled over.

Bald Man saw Huo Tianqian, his anxious face immediately switched to an ingratiating smile. He quickly stepped forward, and said to Huo Tianqian with a beaming smile, "Master Huo, I knew it, you wouldn’t just abandon a brother like me."

Huo Tianqian glanced at him indifferently, with a look of disdain in his eyes, "Talk, what’s really going on?"

Bald Man swallowed and said with some irritation, "It’s like this, one of our brothers was bullied by someone. I originally wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly, he actually had some skills, and in an instant, he knocked all of our brothers down. I know you have a certain prestige in Shanghai, so I thought I could scare him with your reputation, but who would have known, he didn’t take you seriously at all. He even said to bring as many people as you like, just pile them on, it wouldn’t matter. When I heard this, I thought this kid was too arrogant, and wanted to vent for you, but my own abilities are limited, I’m no match for him at all. Considering you happened to be in Su City, so..."

Huo Tianqian glanced at him indifferently, he wouldn’t completely believe what Bald was saying, otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

So now, hearing Bald Man’s words, Huo Tianqian didn’t have much anger, just indifferently grunted in acknowledgment.

Bald Man cautiously glanced at Huo Tianqian and noticed there wasn’t much anger on his face. His heart clenched a bit, sensing trouble.

After all, the last impression he left on Huo Tianqian was really bad. The fact that Huo Tianqian didn’t really hold a grudge against him for the past incident was already fortunate, but he still felt unwilling to let it go.

"Master Huo, I know, I was wrong about the last incident, but you didn’t know the situation at the time. Those people were Ancient Martial Artists, and I was just an ordinary citizen, I couldn’t stand against them. Moreover, at the time, they held a knife to my throat and forced me to speak, I really had no choice," Bald Man said with pitiful eyes, hoping Huo Tianqian would be magnanimous and not hold past matters against him.

"Master Huo, you’re a generous person, can you not hold a grudge against a cowardly and life-fearing person like me? This time I called you because I really couldn’t stand that kid’s arrogance. He also spoke disrespectfully about you, saying that you are at best a half-baked character in Shanghai. This kind of person really deserves a lesson."

Bald Man, worried that Huo Tianqian wouldn’t stand up for him, started adding fuel to the fire, the more he talked, the angrier he got. His plump cheeks trembled slightly because of his anger, whether he was truly angry or just pretending for Huo Tianqian to see.

"Enough! Where is he? I’ll take a look," Huo Tianqian always felt something strange, but couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Bald Man pointed towards the second floor of the restaurant, "He is eating in a private room on the second floor right now. The brothers I brought were already knocked down. To look imposing, I had my brother call a few more people over, and they should be arriving soon."

Bald Man had called for Lin because the whole incident was triggered by Lin, so Bald Man wanted Lin to bear the consequences with him, and should the situation go south, he also wanted a chance to escape.

Bald Man had just finished speaking for a few seconds when Lin arrived hurriedly with a group of brothers.

However, Lin’s face didn’t look too good. If one looked closely, they could barely discern a handprint on the side of Lin’s cheek.

"Big brother! The brothers I brought this time are the best fighters," Lin hurried over, knowing that Chu Ge was skilled, but unaware that he also knew martial arts. So this time, he specially chose from his brothers a few of the best fighters.

Bald Man was stifling an anger inside him. He gave Lin a fierce glare—what was that Lin doing, bringing in some good fighters for no reason?

Even if these people were strong, they were still ordinary people; how could they possibly be compared to Ancient Martial Artists?

If Huo Tianqian couldn’t handle that kid, wouldn’t his brothers end up falling at Chu Ge’s hands again? In Su City, he had established himself by relying on these elites. If they really were defeated here, he would no longer be able to maintain his reputation as the boss of the Black Society.

Bald Man cursed Lin several times in his heart, but on the surface, he still gave a nod without any expression. He could not show his feelings in front of these people and Huo Tianqian, nor could he tell Lin and these brothers that they were here only to boost morale and cheer them on—the real fight was between Huo Tianqian and that kid.

Huo Tianqian was in no mood to see his brothers comforting each other and only gave them a cold glance before saying, "Take me to him now, I’ve got important business to attend to later."

Without further hesitation, Bald Man led the group into the restaurant.

Originally, the restaurant manager, after the Bald Man’s previous ruckus with his gang, had wanted to call the police, but was stopped by Honda Sakura.

The manager, although he did not understand what Honda Sakura was planning, turned a blind eye to the Bald Man bringing in a few more brothers, pretending not to hear anything.

Bald Man headed directly upstairs with his gang, to the restroom on the second floor, where his brothers were still lying there in extreme pain.

Upon seeing Bald Man returning with people, a layer of hope ignited in their eyes.

At this moment, Chu Ge had finished eating and, using the excuse of sudden business, just came out of the private room. Since he had to go downstairs, he inevitably encountered Bald Man and his group.

Seeing Chu Ge, Bald Man, still frightened, stopped in his tracks, not daring to go forward. He had been about to tell Huo Tianqian that this was the man when, before he could speak, he saw Huo Tianqian’s respectful approach as if he were greeting someone of great importance.

"Mr. Chu," Huo Tianqian called out respectfully.

Chu Ge nodded slightly, his gaze landing on Bald Man, and then spoke disdainfully, "So, these are the people you called to take revenge for you?"

Chu Ge remembered—this Bald Man had said his big brother came from Shanghai. Thinking about the underground forces where Huo Tianqian belonged, he could guess it was him.

Bald Man did not expect Huo Tianqian to know Chu Ge, nor that he would be so excessively respectful; he was completely stunned, his eyes widened in shock as he looked at Huo Tianqian, then at Chu Ge, his back soaked in sweat.

"Huo... Master Huo, you know him?" Bald Man cautiously inquired.

Huo Tianqian, still not clear about the situation, cast a puzzled look between Chu Ge and Bald Man. Suddenly, it dawned on him what was happening. He stepped quickly towards Bald Man and slapped him across the face—the force was fierce, immediately causing blood to ooze from the corner of Bald Man’s lips.
