At that thought, his gaze turned sinister.
“Who is this Master Hao you’re talking about?!”
Zeng Xiaoji endured the searing pain and sneered, “So you don’t even know who our Master Hao is.
No wonder you’re so bold!”
“Our Master Hao is one of the two pinnacles of Lin City, a Grandmaster-level expert!”
“He’s also the man in control of the Jiulong Association and the Jiulong Business Alliance!”
“In Lin City, he could crush an ant like you with a flick of his wrist!”
Hearing this, Chen Jiang felt a daze come over him.
Years ago, when his family of three was in that car crash, he was the only survivor.
In his hazy state, he had seen a middle-aged man get out of a car and heard the people with him…
address him as Master Hao!
He would recognize that man even if he were turned to ash.
‘I’ll know if he’s the one who killed my parents the moment I see him.’
A chilling glint appeared in his eyes.
“Where is this Master Hao you speak of?!”
“Huh?” Zeng Xiaoji jumped in fright.
Anyone else would be trembling in fear at the mention of Master Hao’s name, but this guy was actually asking for his location?
‘Is he tired of living?
Does he have a death wish?’
“Speak!”
Chen Jiang’s gaze turned icy, and his powerful aura pressed down!
Zeng Xiaoji was scared out of his wits.
“I…
I don’t know!
I’m just a minor leader in the Jiulong Association.
How would I know where Master Hao is?”
“Maybe our Master Zhou knows!”
“Take me to him!” Chen Jiang said without a moment’s hesitation.
Now that he had a lead, he wasn’t about to let it go so easily.
Besides, these guys had repeatedly come to harass the Jiang Family.
He had to deal with them once and for all.
Zeng Xiaoji roared, “What are you idiots standing around for?
Hurry up and help me up!
Take this gentleman to see Master Zhou!”
His lackeys all limped to their feet and helped up the crippled Zeng Xiaoji.
“Sir, after you…”
Zeng Xiaoji forced a smile that was uglier than a crying face.
But a vicious glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
‘I’ll endure this!’
‘This kid has some skills.
I, Zeng Xiaoji, can’t kill him, but Master Zhou definitely can!’
Master Zhou was one of the three “Vajras” of the Jiulong Association!
And he was a Martial Arts master!
‘And this kid actually has the audacity to follow us to find Master Zhou, completely overestimating his own abilities?’
‘He’s asking for death!’
Xu Muya quickly tried to stop him.
“Jiang, don’t go…”
Although she didn’t know the full details, she had heard stories about what kind of man Master Zhou was!
A big shot like that wasn’t someone Chen Jiang could afford to provoke!
He had several hundred men under him alone.
If Chen Jiang went into his territory all by himself, how was that any different from suicide?!
Jiang Yutong’s lips twitched, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t go!”
Seeing how worried they were, Chen Jiang’s heart warmed.
He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
With that, he shot a cold look at the group of battered and staggering thugs.
“Lead the way!”
「Lin City, East District.」
Inside a bathhouse in an entertainment complex.
The air was thick with smoke.
A burly, powerfully built middle-aged man with a buzz cut lay on a massage chair, a cigar dangling from his mouth, enjoying a massage from several young women.
Just then, the graceful and charming Zhang Shuxian walked in, wearing a qipao with a slim cigarette held between her fingers.
Upon seeing Zhang Shuxian, Master Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and gestured for her to sit beside him.
Zhang Shuxian smiled faintly and leaned naturally into his embrace.
“Master Zhou, I haven’t come looking for you recently, and you’ve almost forgotten all about me…”
Her coquettish pout was utterly captivating, making Master Zhou burst into laughter.
“Shuxian, my dear, I’ve just been busy lately, haven’t I?
The moment I finally get some free time for a massage, you show up.”
“Looks like you’re going to drain me dry tonight.”
As he spoke, his hand on Zhang Shuxian’s waist slid down and gave a firm squeeze to a certain plump area, drawing a coquettish yelp from her.
“Shuxian, my dear, why does your skin feel so much more supple and smooth?
It’s really whetting your big brother’s appetite.
I can’t wait to just eat you up, you little vixen.”
Master Zhou’s gaze was scorching as it landed on Zhang Shuxian.
After being nourished by the Jade Beauty Cream, Zhang Shuxian’s whole body seemed to glow.
Her skin was so flawless it defied belief, even better than an eighteen-year-old’s.
It made him practically drool.
Zhang Shuxian’s eyes lit up.
“Master Zhou, I was just about to tell you about that.”
“I went to a beauty salon today, and they have a cream there that’s absolutely incredible.”
“Oh?” Master Zhou was immediately interested.
He then chuckled, “What?
You want me to spend money and buy this cream for you?
Go on, how much is it?”
“As long as you take good care of your big brother tonight, do you think I’m short on that little bit of cash?”
As he spoke, his hands continued to toy with Zhang Shuxian, eliciting a soft moan from her.
She lay beside him, breathless, and said, “Master Zhou, am I that kind of woman?
I meant that I want to get my hands on that formula!”
“That cream is definitely worth a fortune!”
“A single jar could sell for the sky-high price of one hundred or two hundred thousand.”
“And all the rich ladies would be fighting to get it.”
“Is it really that incredible?” Master Zhou was taken aback.
“I only used it once, and my seafood allergy cleared up immediately.
My skin got better too.”
“The effects are visible to the naked eye.”
Master Zhou studied Zhang Shuxian.
It was true; anyone would drool over skin like that.
He could already feel a fire igniting in his lower abdomen.
“So, you little wildcat, what wicked idea have you cooked up this time?” he asked with a chuckle.
“I want to get that formula.
If we get it, we’ll be rich,” Zhang Shuxian said flirtatiously.
“Master Zhou, please help me.”
“It’s just some kid.
Can’t you just go and drop my name?
Is there anyone who hears my name and doesn’t immediately chicken out?” Master Zhou said with disdain.
‘Does my reputation in this area even need to be questioned?’
“That kid seems to be something special.
I took more than ten men with me today, and we still couldn’t beat him.
That’s why I came to ask for help from a real man like you, Master Zhou.”
Hearing this, Master Zhou narrowed his eyes.
“Sounds like he really does have some skill.
How about this, I’ll have Ji go take care of him.
Put some pressure on him and see if he knows what’s good for him.”
Zeng Xiaoji was one of his most capable fighters.
For an ordinary person, sending him was more than enough.
‘When he, Master Zhou, sets his sights on something, no one dares to refuse him!’
“Ji?” Zhang Shuxian thought for a moment.
“He should be enough.
Heh.”
“Go get Ji over here!” Master Zhou ordered a lackey.
“Master Zhou, Ji…
he went out,” a lackey reported.
“Said he was going to collect a debt.”
Master Zhou frowned.
Just then, two more subordinates rushed in from outside.
“Master Zhou, this is bad!
Someone’s got a hold of Ji and is dragging him back to our place…
The brothers who went with him have been crippled…”
“What?!” Master Zhou shot up from the massage chair.
“Which son of a bitch has such balls?”
The words had barely left his mouth when he saw a young man stride into the room, dangling Zeng Xiaoji from his hand.
It was none other than Chen Jiang, who had come straight from the Jiang Family’s home.
“Which one of you is Master Zhou?” Chen Jiang’s indifferent gaze swept across the room.
