Chapter 757: Your Request is a Bit Peculiar!
"Of course!"
Wu Xiu had no idea that the call hadn’t come from Wu Heng at all, but from Wu Feng using a voice changer. To avoid being discovered, he had deliberately spoken only a few words. Of course, the phone he used was indeed Wu Heng’s.
After Wu Xiu left, Zheng Bunai arrived with his men at Yang Qi’s table.
Li Qingyan frowned, feeling uncomfortable being watched while eating.
"Is there a problem?" Yang Qi asked, looking up.
Zheng Bunai looked at Yang Qi and sneered, "You brat, you still have the appetite to eat? Do you have any idea who I am?"
He waved his hand, and his followers immediately began driving the other diners out of the restaurant. The customers, not daring to confront these lunatics, hurriedly fled.
The owner was devastated; they hadn’t paid their bills. All his work today had been for nothing.
"Don’t worry, Boss. This gentleman here will pay later," Yang Qi said with a smile, gesturing toward Zheng Bunai.
The owner forced a bitter smile. You can’t even protect yourself, so what’s the use of expecting him to pay? He doesn’t look like the paying type at all. He sighed, resigned to his bad luck, and hid in the kitchen, not daring to get involved.
Yang Qi said nothing more, turning his attention to Zheng Bunai. "I don’t know what kind of moron you are, but you’ve ruined my meal. If you don’t do something to make up for it, I’m afraid you won’t be leaving Thunder City in one piece."
"Heh, this kid’s got some nerve," Feng Wencai scoffed from the side. "Do you know who this is? This is Young Master Zheng Bunai of Sea City’s Zheng Family, and I am Young Master Feng Wencai of the Feng Family. Everyone here is connected to the major families of Sea City. To see us and still act so arrogant... you’re clearly from some backwater place if you don’t even know who we are. Have you heard of the Hidden Dragon Club? Or the Hidden Dragon List?"
"I’ve heard of the Hidden Dragon List. It’s just a playground ranking for a bunch of children," Yang Qi said indifferently. "I don’t care if your name is Zheng or Feng. You disturbed my meal, which has made me very unhappy. Apologize, then scram."
"Hey, this kid really is defiant," one of the men muttered.
Everyone around was stunned. In Sea City, anyone who so much as heard the name of the Hidden Dragon Club would tremble in fear, not daring to say a word out of line. This kid was unbelievable; his arrogance was boundless. There really were people in this world who weren’t afraid to die.
"Alright, enough wasting words on him." Zheng Bunai shook his head and got straight to the point. "I’ll be honest with you. Zheng Busu was my younger brother. He died in the Forbidden Land, and I suspect you’re responsible. However, if you hand over the Spiritual Spring you obtained, I can spare your life. Furthermore, there’s the matter of President Li from the Qifei Group. I invited her earlier, but you ignored me. It seems I’ll have to resort to force later on."
"Oh, so that piece of trash Zheng Busu was your brother? No wonder he was so useless," Yang Qi laughed. "That’s right, I killed him. What about it? Do you want to go down and have a chat with him, too?"
Domineering and contemptuous. He completely disregarded the great families of Sea City. That was the impression Zheng Bunai and his men got from Yang Qi. The kid’s arrogance was truly limitless.
"Also, Li Qingyan is one of my people. If you want to invite her, you’ll have to ask for my permission first," Yang Qi continued.
He was the owner of the Qifei Group, and Li Qingyan was an employee, so she was naturally one of his people. Hearing his words, however, Li Qingyan couldn’t help but blush.
"Hehe, one of your people? Even better. That’s exactly who I want. After I’m done playing with her, I’ll return her to you," Zheng Bunai sneered.
The idiot had no idea who he was talking to. Yang Qi had single-handedly destroyed the Tang Family and the Tianhai Association in Sea City. He had even annihilated the Black Evil Sect, an organization that the Wu Family themselves feared. Yet, this Zheng Bunai knew none of it. He thought the man before him was a harmless herbivore when, in reality, he was facing a terrifying carnivore.
"You should know, anyone who provokes me either ends up dead or crippled. What do you think your fate will be?" Yang Qi asked coldly, not even bothering to look at Zheng Bunai.
"You little brat, your mouth just keeps running! Young Master Zheng, there’s no need to waste any more words. Since talking isn’t working, let’s just get physical," Feng Wencai urged.
Zheng Bunai nodded. "Kid, you brought this on yourself, so don’t blame me. Cripple him!"
"Hold on," Yang Qi suddenly called out.
"What? Scared?" Zheng Bunai said smugly. "If you’re scared, get on your knees and beg for mercy. Then, do as I say." If I’d known it was this easy, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time.
"If you want to fight, take it outside. This is a small restaurant; let’s not break anything." After speaking, Yang Qi put down his chopsticks and turned to Li Qingyan. "You guys eat. I’m just stepping out to take care of something. I’ll be right back."
With that, he walked toward the entrance.
"Let’s go! Get that kid before he runs!" Zheng Bunai waved his hand, signaling his men to leave the restaurant. He glanced back at Li Qingyan and added, "Beauty, I’ll be back for you later."
Once outside, Yang Qi saw that a dozen cars were blocking the restaurant’s entrance, leaving only a narrow gap barely wide enough for one person to squeeze through. This kind of behavior was truly despicable. Just because they had a little money, they acted with lawless abandon, showing no regard for anyone or anything.
Zheng Bunai waved his hand, and his men immediately surrounded Yang Qi. "No need to waste any more words on this kid," he ordered. "Just do it. I want to watch him kneeling on the ground, trembling."
"What’s the rush? I’m not going anywhere," Yang Qi said with a wave of his hand. "Young Master Zheng, or whatever you’re called, let me ask you something. Are you in Thunder City on your family’s orders, or did you come on your own?"
"It doesn’t matter whose orders it was. You’ve got no chance now," Zheng Bunai laughed. "After I’ve disabled you, I’ll take Li Qingyan for myself. Since you said she’s your woman, how about I do it right in front of you? That’s bound to be thrilling, right?"
"Jokes like that will get you killed," Yang Qi said calmly.
"Hahaha, kill me? I’m standing right here! Do you dare to hit me even once? If you so much as touch me, I guarantee the Qifei Group and all your family and friends will die!" Zheng Bunai was exceptionally arrogant. He deliberately stepped forward and thrust his face toward Yang Qi, daring him to strike.
He was certain Yang Qi wouldn’t dare. He had pulled this stunt before. His targets, though furious, would never dare to retaliate because they couldn’t afford to provoke him or the Zheng Family of Sea City. They could only swallow their anger and act like cowards.
"To think someone would make such a request. Interesting. I’ll be happy to satisfy you," Yang Qi said with a laugh, suddenly raising his hand.
