Chapter 433: Chapter 0434: Join Forces with Her

"Is the person you mentioned Mr. Chu?" Huo Tianqian really wanted to slap him again, but things were different now; if he struck him twice more, whether Bald Man could withstand it was another matter.

Bald Man, struck to confusion, was unable to think clearly and asked bewilderingly, "Master Huo? Do you know this youngster?"

"What do you mean ’this youngster’? How dare you disrespect Mr. Chu! Do you have a death wish?" This time, Huo Tianqian did not use his hands; instead, he kicked Bald Man in the stomach, sending him flying several meters away, with such pain that he lay on the ground crying out.

He then realized, Huo Tianqian not only knew Chu Ge, but even treated him with utmost respect—it was clear Chu Ge was an extraordinary figure.

This damned Lin really screwed him over horribly.

Seeing his older brother bullied, Lin was instantly filled with anger, which compounded his previous frustration at Shen Mimi’s; glaring at Huo Tianqian, he exclaimed, "Huo Tianqian! We address you respectfully as Master Huo because we respect you! But you are so ungrateful, how dare you hit my brother!"

Lin was not familiar with Huo Tianqian, nor did he know he was an Ancient Martial Artist, so at this moment he was completely unaware that death was near.

As Bald Man lay on the ground, hearing Lin’s voice triggered alarm inside him. He remembered to stop him, but his body, pained from Huo Tianqian’s kick, couldn’t get up; he wanted to tell Lin to stop, but his swollen mouth garbled his words.

Lin shouted to the others behind him, "Brothers, let’s go! Avenge our big brother!"

Bald Man thought, "Avenge my ass! Damn it, Lin really screwed me over this time! If I can still get out of this alive, I’ll definitely skin him alive!"

In Su City, Huo Tianqian naturally wouldn’t go as far as taking someone’s life, so he just taught these people a lesson.

No matter how capable the other side was, they were still ordinary people; even ten of them were no match for him.

Thus, it didn’t take long for the men Lin brought to be knocked down.

Huo Tianqian sneered coldly, warning Bald Man, "You brat, better watch who you offend in the future! Today was just a minor lesson. If I catch you disrespecting Mr. Chu again, beware I take your life!"

Bald Man was thoroughly scared; though Huo Tianqian didn’t directly take their lives, many had still suffered broken bones, and some even had several ribs broken.

He heard Huo Tianqian’s warning, nodded continuously, and mumbled unclearly, "I wouldn’t dare, I will never dare again."

Huo Tianqian and Chu Ge left the restaurant. On the road, Huo Tianqian somewhat puzzledly asked, "Mr. Chu, how did you get involved with those people?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "It’s a long story, I’ll explain later. I heard there’s a black market in Su City, and in that market, there’s nothing you can’t buy, only what you can’t think of?"

Huo Tianqian nodded, "That’s right. One without some capability wouldn’t dare to enter it. I wanted to acquire an Earth Ganoderma from the black market, but the boss who runs it has a connection with the Tang Family and is a member of the Tang Sect. As soon as they saw it was me, they didn’t let me in."

Chu Ge nodded slightly, then fell into thought.

Seeing this, Huo Tianqian, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Mr. Chu, is there something you need to buy from the black market?"

In the black market, as long as you have money, you can buy anything.

Chu Ge gently shook his head, "Forget it, we’ll talk about it later."

It wasn’t that he needed something; he just felt that knowing there was such a black market would be convenient in the future.

"Let’s go check on the Shen Family first."

Huo Tianqian did not ask further, nodded, and then drove away with Chu Ge.

At the same time, inside the restaurant.

Lin had been extra cautious. While the others fought with Huo Tianqian, he quietly stepped back a few steps and didn’t truly engage in the fight. Therefore, among the people lying on the ground, he was the least injured.

He struggled to get up, leaning against the wall, his heart pounding as he looked at the unconscious bodies around him, gritting his teeth in frustration.

Even the people Big Brother relied on were respectful towards Chu Ge, what chances did he have to confront Chu Ge!

At this moment, he even started to resent himself, furious about why he wasn’t an Ancient Martial Artist.

Lin took shaky steps towards the restaurant’s exit, his swaying figure cast upon the silhouette standing by the window on the third floor.

"Lady Xiao, should we bring Lin up?" the manager tentatively asked.

From the moment Honda Sakura refused to let him call the police, he guessed that she wanted to use these men for something.

Honda Sakura glanced at him, a light sneer playing on her lips, "Being too smart is not good, it can shorten your life."

Hearing this, the manager immediately laughed, stepped forward and boldly pinched Honda Sakura’s butt, then said, "It’s not about being smart, it’s about understanding. I’ll call him up now."

The manager gave Honda Sakura’s butt a pat and then leisurely walked downstairs.

When the manager called out to Lin, Lin instinctively thought the manager was asking for compensation, making him run faster.

But with his injuries, even if he ran fast, he couldn’t outpace a normal person.

"What are you running for? I’m not asking for money!" the manager said, looking at Lin’s pained expression, quite speechlessly.

Lin warily looked at him and asked, "If the manager isn’t calling me for compensation, then what is it for?"

The manager, slightly exasperated, pinched the bridge of his nose, "Of course, it’s for something more important."

He paused briefly, then leaned forward and whispered into Lin’s ear, "I saw what happened at the restaurant, do you want revenge?"

"Revenge?" Lin squinted, suspiciously eyeing the manager, "What do you mean?"

The manager didn’t bother to conceal it and said straightforwardly, "To be precise, the person who wants to ask you is not me, but Lady Xiao. She also has a grudge against Chu Ge. Today, you lost face in front of Chu Ge and even got severely injured. Don’t you want to take revenge on Chu Ge?"

Lady Xiao?

"Are you talking about the Xiao Family from Su City? That Japanese woman?" Lin had heard a bit about this Japanese woman; outsiders saw the Xiao Family Master as the person in charge, but only the Xiao family themselves knew the real person in power was Honda Sakura.

This was something Lin had also learned from a young lady of the Xiao family.

"Yes, exactly, brother. You’re not a local from Su City, right? Although the Xiao Family isn’t as prominent as the Tang Family, they are still a wealthy family. Collaborating with her would be beneficial for you."
