Er Zhu did not speak. He simply patted Li Mei's shoulder gently and walked towards the door. Li Mei watched Er Zhu's retreating figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
In the blink of an eye, Er Zhu arrived at the Han family's residence. The entire place, both inside and out, was deathly silent, yet filled with palpable hostility.
"Are you that nouveau riche Wang Er Zhu?"
As Er Zhu pushed open the main gate, he saw a group of burly bodyguards standing in the center of the courtyard. The one who spoke was the most robust among them.
"Scram if you don't want to die!"
Er Zhu merely glanced up at them before calmly walking towards the living room. Seeing Er Zhu's utter disregard for him, the burly man's anger ignited.
In Liu Town, no one had ever dared to speak to him, Huang Liang, like this!
"You're asking for death!"
Huang Liang roared, and the dozen or so burly men behind him charged at Er Zhu. The air was filled with the whistling of fists and the swirling of dust and stones!
Er Zhu, however, did not even spare them a glance, continuing his walk towards the living room. At this moment, Huang Liang and his men were already upon him.
*Boom!*
Er Zhu threw a swift punch, landing squarely on Huang Liang's abdomen. Huang Liang was sent flying backward instantly, crashing into several of his men in his trajectory.
In an instant, the formidable attackers were scattered. Some writhed on the ground, others were flung into trees, and a few slammed into a wall a hundred meters away!
Huang Liang lay on the ground, staring at Er Zhu with a look of utter shock. Despite the excruciating pain from his injuries, he could not focus on that now!
This Wang Er Zhu was indeed formidable, even more so than the Han family's bodyguards had described!
With a single punch, he had dismantled the team Huang Liang had trained for years. It was simply unbelievable!
Looking at his scattered subordinates, Huang Liang couldn't help but frown. Amidst his shock, his anger intensified!
"Everyone, obey my command, kill him!"
Huang Liang slammed his fist onto the ground and shouted forward. Instantly, two to three hundred burly men rushed out from all directions. Some were dressed in suits, while others had the appearance of ruffians.
These were bodyguards from the homes of various influential figures, or hired enforcers paid handsomely. Their sole purpose for gathering here today was to eliminate this nouveau riche named Wang Er Zhu!
"Wang Er Zhu, today is your death anniversary. Don't struggle any longer."
Just as the bodyguards and enforcers were about to make their move, the living room door opened, and figures like Han Song, the patriarch, slowly emerged from the house.
"Kid, I'll give you one chance to live. Hand over all your assets and kowtow to me three times, and I'll let you work as a bodyguard in my house. What do you say?"
Seeing Er Zhu's calm demeanor, Han Song didn't attack directly but attempted to recruit him.
Facing hundreds of these powerful individuals, and yet remaining so composed, there could only be two possibilities: he was either a fool, or he possessed extraordinary strength and didn't consider these minor players a threat.
Clearly, Wang Er Zhu was not a fool. If that was the case, it meant he was exceptionally powerful!
With this thought, Han Song took a deep breath, scrutinizing the young man before him.
"Wang Er Zhu, just agree quickly. Being beaten to death with sticks is not a pleasant feeling!"
"Yeah, we're all waiting to take over your assets."
"Grandpa, this brat killed Uncle Gan. He can't be allowed to live!"
...
Seeing that Er Zhu hadn't moved, everyone assumed he would choose to live. Their taunts were tinged with a hint of disappointment and helplessness.
Wasn't this the plan last night? What was Old Master Han up to now?
If this nouveau riche really kowtowed, all their hopes would be dashed...
Although many influential figures had reservations about Old Master Han, they dared not question him further, considering the vast difference in their standing.
"You... finished talking?"
As soon as the influential figures finished speaking, Er Zhu curved his lips into a smile and cast a disdainful glance at them.
"What do you mean by that? You disagree?" Hearing this, the smile on Old Master Han's face froze instantly, and a flicker of shock crossed his angry eyes.
Working for his Han family was the dream of countless martial artists, yet this brat actually refused?
Oh... this brat must be unwilling to part with the Qingfeng Hotel. Dying for a hotel, perhaps this brat wasn't as smart as he thought!
"I refuse!" Er Zhu said word by word. As he uttered the last word, he had already thrown a punch, which repelled a dozen bodyguards. Within seconds, cries of agony filled the air!
Huh?
The faces of the other influential figures instantly turned grim. Looking at their subordinates writhing in pain on the ground, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes!
This fellow was indeed strong. With a single punch, he could knock back so many people!
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Before they could even react, Er Zhu threw three more rapid punches. In an instant, another dozen bodyguards were sent crashing to the ground. Some had broken arms, others took a punch to the stomach, and some had their legs fractured!
The immense pain enraged them, and some even considered drawing their weapons, but remembering their family heads' instructions, they could only refrain.
Witnessing this scene, Han Song's angry eyes betrayed his shock. At this moment, the rage within him was about to make him lose all reason!
"Kill!"
Han Song raised his fist and roared at the others. Instantly, the remaining bodyguards and enforcers charged at Er Zhu at nearly sonic speeds. Seeing this situation, Lin Sheng, standing amidst the crowd, frowned, his face filled with worry.
It's over, it's all over. Although Er Zhu was skilled, he couldn't fight against a hundred people, could he?
Especially not these professionally trained individuals!
Lin Sheng took a deep breath, his heart pounding like a drum, filled with anxiety!
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...*
Just then, Er Zhu swept his leg across. His speed was astonishing. The bodyguards and enforcers hadn't even reacted before they fell to the ground. A gap appeared in the encirclement. Seizing this opportunity, Er Zhu charged directly at Han Song! My heavens, had his speed already reached this level?
Lin Sheng watched as Er Zhu grabbed Han Song, his shocked eyes filled with a trace of fear, while the other influential figures were simply stunned into silence!
No wonder Han Song wanted to recruit him. Such a master could fight against a hundred men!
Huh?
"Bastard, you're using that move again!"
Seeing Er Zhu holding Han Song hostage, Han Bin recalled the scene in the forest last night when Er Zhu had held him captive. His rage was boundless!
Huh?
Hearing this, the bodyguards and enforcers who were engaged in fierce combat finally stopped. They looked at the lawn, which had already been smashed into a large pit by their attacks, and then at Er Zhu behind Han Song, their eyes filled with astonishment.
When did this brat escape their encirclement? They had no sensation at all!
Of course, their "escape" was their own assumption. Er Zhu hadn't escaped; he simply disdained wasting time on these minor figures and went directly for the real target.
"Old Master Han, first you sent people to hunt me, and then you colluded with other influential figures to deal with me. We need to settle this score thoroughly today!"
Er Zhu ignored Han Bin, his eyes fixed on Han Song. As he spoke, he tightened his grip on Han Song, increasing the pressure.
