Who was Master Zhou?
He was one of the three great pillars of their Jiulong Association, a legendary master of Inner Strength!
A ruthless man who once single-handedly chased down dozens of people with a blade!
But now, he had been effortlessly subdued by some young punk.
To say it was a miserable sight would be an understatement.
Chen Jiang sat back down on the massage chair, pinning Master Zhou to the floor with one foot so he couldn’t move.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shuxian’s pretty face was deathly pale.
She knew that this time, she had caused a disaster.
She came before Chen Jiang, trembling.
“Ch-Chen…
We…
we were just joking with you earlier.
Please don’t take it to heart!”
Chen Jiang chuckled.
“And do you think I’m the kind of person who can take a joke?”
Zhang Shuxian forced a smile, cold sweat pouring down her back.
She was well aware of Master Zhou’s strength.
Chen Jiang, who could handle him so easily, was clearly no simple character.
“Get lost—”
Chen Jiang barked coldly, and she immediately scurried to the side.
Master Zhou, on the floor, struggled to lift his head.
He looked up at Chen Jiang, who was looking down on him.
“Kid!
You…
don’t think you can be so arrogant just because you have some skills.
Do you have any idea whose man I am?”
“Master Hao, right?” Chen Jiang said faintly.
“And I came here precisely so you could introduce me to him.”
As he spoke, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
‘As long as I can see this legendary Master Hao, I’ll be able to tell if he’s my enemy!’
Master Zhou was dumbfounded.
‘Does this guy have a death wish?
He attacked me and now he fantasizes about me introducing him to Master Hao?’
‘With Master Hao’s temper, wouldn’t he tear this kid limb from limb?’
Besides, Master Hao was one of the two pinnacles of Martial Arts in Lin City!
‘Does this guy really think he’s a match for Master Hao?’
“Where is Master Hao?
Take me to him!” Chen Jiang said coldly.
“I…
I don’t know,” Master Zhou stammered.
“I haven’t seen Master Hao in a long time either.”
Chen Jiang sneered.
“Aren’t you his trusted subordinate?”
Master Zhou swallowed hard.
“These past few years, Master Hao has been living in seclusion behind the scenes.
He doesn’t manage the association’s affairs much anymore.
We old subordinates only get to see him when he contacts us.”
“The last time I saw him was two months ago.”
“Right now, Master Hao is trying to break through to a new realm, so he’s been in seclusion for a long time.”
Chen Jiang narrowed his eyes.
He knew what Master Zhou meant by “breaking through to a new realm” and “seclusion.” Martial Artists indeed needed to spend a great deal of time in quiet cultivation to improve their strength.
After a pause, he asked coldly, “What is Master Hao’s current level of strength?”
“Master Hao is a Martial Arts Grandmaster,” Master Zhou said.
A Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Chen Jiang’s face was unreadable.
But he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster too.
He just didn’t know how formidable this particular Grandmaster was.
“I’ll give you one last chance.
Tell me where he is.”
Seeing Chen Jiang’s terrifyingly cold gaze, Master Zhou swallowed hard.
“I-I really don’t know!
If anyone knows, it would have to be Ye!”
“And who is this Ye?” Chen Jiang asked in a cold voice.
“Master Hao’s wife,” Master Zhou confessed everything.
“She’s also the person he spoils the most.”
“Then take me to her,” Chen Jiang said with a cold smile.
“I’d like to see if she really knows where her husband is.”
He had a strong feeling that this Master Hao was the main culprit behind his parents’ deaths all those years ago!
Master Zhou trembled and said, “Chen…
I, I don’t know where Ye is right now, either.
She doesn’t usually bother with small-time thugs like us…”
“How about this, when Master Hao comes out of seclusion, I’ll send you a message?”
Chen Jiang thought for a moment.
A silver needle appeared in his hand, and with lightning speed, he plunged it into Master Zhou’s chest!
Master Zhou immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Clutching it, he gasped for breath and rolled around on the floor.
He cut an extremely pathetic and pained figure.
The surrounding thugs were all startled, but none of them dared to step forward and help him up.
After a good while, Master Zhou finally returned to normal.
But his chest still throbbed with a stabbing pain.
“Contact me the moment you have news of her.
Just say I want to be friends with her.” Chen Jiang looked down on him faintly.
“Don’t even think about trying to trick me.
The Acupuncture Technique I just used on you is called the Seven-Day Heart-Sealing Needle!
If it isn’t removed within seven days, the only thing waiting for you is a dead end!”
“If you don’t believe me, you can go ahead and try.
Gamble on whether you can live past seven days.”
“And one last warning.
If you or your men dare to harass my Mrs.
Xu and the two sisters again, I’ll make sure you don’t see the sun rise tomorrow!”
The ruthless tone sent a shiver down Master Zhou’s spine.
He nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, yes, yes!
I understand…
I promise, I won’t let those clueless fools bother you again!”
“That would be best.” With those words, Chen Jiang left without a backward glance.
Meanwhile, Master Zhou collapsed to the floor, looking utterly devastated…
Chen Jiang’s words were like thorns piercing his heart.
If the Acupuncture Technique wasn’t undone within seven days, he would die.
What was he going to do?
And he could indeed feel intermittent stabbing pains in his chest.
He didn’t dare to take that gamble.
“M-Master Zhou, what do we do?” Zhang Shuxian asked in a panic.
SMACK!
Furious, Master Zhou slapped her across the face.
Her face swelled up instantly.
“What do we do?
What CAN we do?
It’s all your fault!
You could have picked a fight with anyone, but you had to provoke a menace like him!”
Seeing his fury, Zhang Shuxian’s eyes instantly reddened, but she didn’t dare to talk back.
One of the underlings spoke up.
“Master Zhou, should we send a few brothers to take care of him secretly?”
Master Zhou raged, “Are you an idiot?
You think a Martial Arts expert like that is someone you small fries can handle?
Even I am no match for him, so what the hell can you do!”
“With his level of strength, only Master Hao himself would be able to deal with him…”
The moment Chen Jiang walked out of the entertainment center, he immediately called Xu Muya to let her know he was safe.
Hearing Chen Jiang’s voice, Xu Muya’s worried heart finally settled.
“Then hurry home,” she said in a gentle voice.
“Be careful.
I’m making dinner and waiting for you.”
Chen Jiang’s heart warmed.
He nodded and said, “Okay.”
Back at the Xu Family’s home, Jiang Yutong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Xu Muya hang up the phone, she hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mom, did Chen Jiang really make two million in one day?”
“That’s right.” Xu Muya nodded with a smile.
“You underestimated him before.
His medical skills are brilliant.
If you had been there, you would have been too stunned to speak.”
Jiang Yuning’s eyes sparkled with admiration.
“Is Jiang really that amazing?”
Xu Muya smiled and nodded.
“I wish my boyfriend was that amazing,” Jiang Yuning began to daydream.
Jiang Yutong, however, had complicated feelings.
Now that Chen Jiang had earned the five hundred thousand as promised, she would have to fulfill her end of the deal and serve him.
Thinking about what was going to happen next, she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous…
