Xie Yuankui watched Chen Mo with a playful gaze.
Just as Chen Mo took another step forward, the bodyguards behind Xie Yuankui moved to attack him.
"Bang!"
Chen Mo raised his leg and kicked.
One bodyguard was instantly sent flying, even knocking over several burly bodyguards who hadn't yet charged forward.
In front of Chen Mo, the others were no different from ants.
In less than a minute, all the bodyguards around Xie Yuankui had fallen.
Xie Yuankui, who had been wearing a playful expression, gradually looked displeased.
He had already guessed that Chen Mo was not an ordinary person, but a martial artist!
"Fight, fight harder! All of you, get up and cripple him!" Li Yuandao continued to shout from the side.
He wished he could fight Chen Mo himself.
But seeing Chen Mo's strength, Li Yuandao abandoned the idea of stepping onto the scene.
Xie Yuankui glared at Li Yuandao, his expression solemn.
He finally understood why Third Master Huang had been so protective of Chen Mo.
However, having reached this point, Xie Yuankui was certainly not going to back down. Otherwise, how could he maintain his standing in the black market?!
"Old Sun, please lend me your strength." Xie Yuankui looked at an old man behind him with great respect.
"Don't worry, Boss Xie. This brat is mine to handle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man lunged towards Chen Mo.
The old man had white hair and appeared stooped, but his eyes were sharp. He immediately threw a punch towards Chen Mo's abdomen.
Chen Mo, after repelling a bodyguard, saw the charging old man and his eyes narrowed.
He didn't dodge. Instead, he met the old man's punch with his own.
"Heh heh."
"Arrogant brat, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Seeing this, a smile curved the old man's lips.
In his opinion, Chen Mo's failure to dodge was enough to finish him!
"Mr. Chen, be careful! He's a Hua Jin martial artist!"
Third Master Huang's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly warned.
But it was too late.
"Bang!"
The two fists collided, emitting a dull thud.
Xie Yuankui's face broke into a smile. He knew that daring to go head-to-head with a Hua Jin martial artist, Chen Mo was bound to lose!
However, the moment their fists met.
The old man's eyes widened, and a look of terror appeared on his face!
"You!"
"Bang!"
Before the old man could even exclaim, a muffled sound was heard, and the old man was forced back more than ten steps.
"Pfft!"
At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned considerably pale.
In an instant.
The scene fell silent.
Disbelief was etched on everyone's faces.
Third Master Huang, still in the posture of warning Chen Mo, was stunned.
Xie Yuankui, whose expression had been playful, froze.
"Anyone else?" Chen Mo's voice sounded faintly.
Hearing Chen Mo's voice, the crowd finally snapped out of their shock.
Seeing this, Third Master Huang's face lit up with excitement. He knew that Chen Mo's strength was likely far beyond that of a Hua Jin martial artist; he might even be a Wu Shi!
Wu Shi!
Thinking of this word, Third Master Huang trembled with excitement.
Being able to befriend a Wu Shi expert would likely elevate his status in the black market to an unprecedented height!
"Senior, I... I apologize for my presumption. Please... please show mercy!" Suddenly, the old man bowed deeply to Chen Mo, his eyes filled with fear.
Chen Mo glanced at the old man and simply uttered a single word: "Scram!"
Upon hearing this, the old man nodded ecstatically, "Thank you, senior, for your mercy."
With that, he ignored the shocked expressions of those around him, turned, and disappeared into the crowd, not even sparing Xie Yuankui a glance.
Xie Yuankui was completely dumbfounded.
That was a Hua Jin expert, his greatest trump card!
Now that his trump card had fled, and in such a panicked manner, how could Xie Yuankui accept this?!
"Hahahaha!"
Third Master Huang was overjoyed. He strode forward a few steps and came before Xie Yuankui.
"Boss Xie, isn't Mr. Chen asking you? Anyone else? Where are your experts? Let them come out."
Xie Yuankui's face instantly turned extremely grim.
He had never imagined that things would escalate to this point!
Xie Yuankui couldn't help but swallow.
He then cast his gaze towards Li Yuandao, who was also staring blankly beside him.
"Li Yuandao, you scoundrel! Guards, tie him up!" Xie Yuankui roared angrily.
The bodyguards who had gotten up from the ground promptly pinned Li Yuandao down.
Li Yuandao was instantly dumbfounded. How could he not realize that Xie Yuankui was planning to abandon him?
"How dare you say this gentleman is deceiving you? You're spouting nonsense. Hit him, smash all his teeth!" Xie Yuankui roared again.
"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"
The bodyguards slapped Li Yuandao's face repeatedly.
After more than ten slaps, Li Yuandao's face was covered in blood, looking extremely pathetic.
"Mr. Chen, I was just listening to this scoundrel's nonsense before. It has nothing to do with me. I will teach this blind dog a harsh lesson now." Xie Yuankui hurriedly apologized to Chen Mo.
He no longer cared about face or dignity.
At this moment, all he wanted was to save his own life!
To strike a Hua Jin martial artist with a single punch and make him beg for mercy and flee, Xie Yuankui dared not provoke such strength!
Third Master Huang chuckled playfully, "Boss Xie, you weren't saying that just now. Do you think Mr. Chen is that easily fooled?"
"Third Master Huang, I apologize for my previous offenses. I hope you can put in a good word for me, considering our many years of working together." Xie Yuankui said quickly.
"Are we that familiar? Moreover, I have no right to decide what Mr. Chen decides."
Hearing this, Xie Yuankui's expression grew even more grim.
He knew that this time, he had truly fallen into a trap.
Chen Mo suddenly asked, "Boss Xie has great influence in the black market?"
Third Master Huang nodded, "Yes, at least six shops are related to Third Master Huang."
"Six shops, how many do you have?" Chen Mo asked.
"Mr. Chen, my business is smaller, only four shops." Third Master Huang replied hastily.
"Then starting today, you will have ten." Chen Mo said calmly.
"Wh-what?! Ten shops?!" Third Master Huang's eyes widened instantly.
Xie Yuankui was also taken aback.
Soon, he seemed to realize something. His six shops plus Third Master Huang's four shops would make ten!
"Mr., Mr. Chen." Xie Yuankui spoke hurriedly.
These shops were his life!
However, before he could finish speaking, Chen Mo glanced at Xie Yuankui, "Do you want your life or your shops? I'll give you a choice now."
"I, I..."
"Thump!"
Xie Yuankui, on the verge of tears, slumped to the ground.
