Qin Hanchu's expression remained as calm as still water.
Even as the Five Ghosts of the Northwest arrived before him, he remained unfazed.
Han Liang watched Qin Hanchu with disbelief.
What did this mean?
Had he given up resisting!
Just as Han Liang and the other two were at a loss, they suddenly witnessed an unbelievable sight.
The Five Ghosts of the Northwest suddenly stopped in their tracks, then their faces filled with terror.
"You... what did you do?" the leader of the Five Ghosts of the Northwest asked, clutching his chest in pain.
"I told you earlier, villains die from talking too much."
"While chatting with you, I released a poisonous gas."
Qin Hanchu spread out his palm, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Puff puff!
The Five Ghosts of the Northwest spat blood one after another, falling to the ground in unwillingness, their breaths ceasing.
At this moment, Han Liang and the other two were utterly stunned.
They had thought Qin Hanchu was doomed, but they never expected such an outcome.
The Five Ghosts of the Northwest hadn't even touched Qin Hanchu's clothes before they were finished!
These were five eighth-rank experts, and they had died so ignominiously.
With the Five Ghosts of the Northwest dead, what about the three of them?
"You want me to live a life worse than death, right?" Qin Hanchu stepped on the bodies of the Five Ghosts of the Northwest and walked towards Han Liang and the other two.
"You... what do you want to do?"
Han Liang and the other two trembled in fear.
They wanted to flee, but found their legs felt as if they were cast in lead.
Ah!
Just then, Qin Hanchu suddenly kicked Han Liang's knee.
With a crack, Han Liang knelt on the ground.
This scene terrified Lin Jiaxue into screaming, and she instinctively retreated.
And it was not over yet.
Under the fearful gaze of Lin Wansheng and his daughter, Qin Hanchu shattered all four of Han Liang's limbs, deforming them.
Han Liang screamed in agony, like a pig being stabbed.
"Tell Han Shouye."
"I will visit him tomorrow afternoon."
"Whether he can avenge his son depends on his ability!"
With that, Qin Hanchu turned and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
Bang bang...
Lin Jiaxue and Lin Wansheng slumped to the ground powerlessly.
At some point, both of them had already wet themselves.
Forty minutes later, Han Shouye's family rushed into Han Liang's hospital room in a panic.
Han Liang was already asleep, his limbs wrapped like a mummy.
"Doctor, how is my son?" Han Shouye asked anxiously.
Han Shouye's attending physician said gravely, "The bones in all four limbs are completely pulverized. It's untreatable."
What!
Han Shouye's body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.
With his limbs crippled, wasn't he a cripple?
"Qin Hanchu, I will kill you!" Han Shouye roared hysterically.
"Chairman Han... Qin Hanchu said he will come to find you tomorrow."
Lin Jiaxue had lost her previous arrogance; she was still shaken.
As for Lin Wansheng, he was suffering from illness in the next ward.
"Come to find me? Is he treating my Han Corporation as an ant?"
"Tell me, how did this happen?"
"The Five Ghosts of the Northwest were all eighth-rank martial artists, why are they dead?"
"Could Qin Hanchu be a ninth-rank martial artist?"
Han Shouye questioned Lin Jiaxue furiously.
"Qin Hanchu used poison. Before the Five Ghosts of the Northwest could touch Qin Hanchu, they succumbed to the poison!"
Lin Jiaxue replied tremblingly.
"Despicable!" Han Shouye kicked the table in anger, then shouted, "Someone."
"Master." The Han family's butler stepped forward to respond.
"At all costs, recruit experts above eighth rank to come and guard.
"Find a few ninth-rank experts as well."
"Also, find a few masters proficient in poison."
Han Shouye had gone mad!
As long as he could kill Qin Hanchu, he would spare no expense.
"Your old servant will do it now."
The butler, with a somber face, hurried out of the ward.
...
Late at night, Su Yuanjiu had already fallen asleep.
Just then, his door was suddenly knocked upon urgently.
"What is it?" Su Yuanjiu snapped irritably.
"Dad, something big has happened!" Su Fengxian said anxiously.
Su Yuanjiu opened the door and said sternly, "What big thing?"
"Just received news, Han Liang's four limbs have been crippled by Qin Hanchu."
"The five eighth-rank experts hired by the Han Corporation have all been killed."
Su Fengxian said nervously.
What!
Su Yuanjiu was also startled by the news!
"Five eighth-rank experts killed? Could Qin Hanchu be a ninth-rank expert?"
Su Fengxian could hardly believe it.
Ninth-rank martial artists were true powerhouses.
Most such experts served in the military.
Only some elder ninth-rank experts remained in the cities.
In the entire Island City, only the former president of the Martial Arts Association had reached the ninth rank.
Such experts were figures that families like the Su family dared not offend.
"I heard he was killed by Qin Hanchu using poison." Su Fengxian said.
"No wonder." Su Yuanjiu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "What is the Han Corporation doing?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, Qin Hanchu will go to the Han family."
"I heard the Han family spent over a billion to recruit many eighth-rank and ninth-rank martial artists to guard." Su Fengxian replied.
"Qin Hanchu is finished. Even with poison in his hands, he won't leave alive." Su Yuanjiu said.
"With the grand display the Han family is putting on, it's questionable if Qin Hanchu would even dare to show his face."
"Send people to keep an eye on it, I want detailed information." Su Yuanjiu instructed.
Not only the Su family received this news, but everyone with influence in Island City learned of it.
The entire business and martial arts circles of Island City were abuzz.
The Han Corporation was a top conglomerate in Island City, and Qin Hanchu had crippled Han Liang's limbs.
Most importantly, Qin Hanchu was going to the Han family to demand justice.
This was simply showing no regard for the Han Corporation.
Everyone eagerly awaited tomorrow afternoon.
They wanted to see what kind of ability Qin Hanchu possessed to so openly defy the Han Corporation!
Governor's Residence.
Wang Zhan was currently studying the city's urban planning.
Just then, his personal guard walked in.
"Governor, a major incident occurred tonight."
The guard clasped his fist and said respectfully.
Wang Zhan did not look up and asked casually, "What major incident?"
"Han Liang of the Han Corporation had his four limbs crippled." the guard said.
"Who did it?" Wang Zhan still asked dismissively.
"It was Qin Hanchu, the one who caused trouble at the engagement banquet."
Upon hearing Qin Hanchu's name, Wang Zhan finally raised his head, "What exactly happened?"
The guard then recounted the entire incident.
"Even ninth-rank martial artists were invited?"
"Han Shouye is determined to kill Qin Hanchu."
Wang Zhan chuckled lightly.
"Should we intervene? This matter has already become the talk of the town." the guard asked.
"Not yet. Let's watch the show."
Wang Zhan was very curious to see how Qin Hanchu would resolve this situation.
Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to use his own power to help Qin Hanchu.
