Chapter 190: Beating You Dirties My Hands
'The Xiao Family is being utterly disgraced!'
Xiao Ming clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, but he didn't even notice.
He used almost all his strength to say, "Another round! Something else!"
'He refused to believe Xiao Ye was that strong in every area!'
'It's impossible for anyone to do that!'
'He only looks like he's in his twenties. It's hard enough to master one thing, let alone several.'
'Xiao Ye's best skills were probably just horsemanship and archery!'
Xiao Ye had long guessed he would do this. 'If I'm going to humiliate the Xiao Family, I might as well do it thoroughly!'
"Fine. What do you want to compete in?"
"Golf! But I won't be the one competing!" Xiao Ming was swapping someone in.
Soon, the crowd moved to the nearby golf course.
Everyone on the course came over to watch the spectacle.
Xiao Ye effortlessly sank every shot.
The Xiao Family lost again!
He could barely conceal the murderous intent in his heart, veins popping on his forehead. "Another round! Let's play pool!"
'He refused to believe Xiao Ye could play pool too!'
This time, the Xiao Family swapped in yet another person. It was a war of attrition.
But unfortunately for them, Xiao Ye did, in fact, know how to play pool.
Although he had rarely played, he was better than anyone at games requiring precision shots. Using ricochets and combinations was his specialty!
The Xiao Family lost again!
Xiao Ye looked at him with a grin. "What, you still want to compete?"
"I'd just give up. You can't beat me."
"I thought the Xiao Family, being a Hidden Clan, would be formidable. Turns out you're nothing special. Is this what over twenty years of so-called 'elite education' produces? A bunch of trash like you."
"You..." The Xiao Family members wanted to retort but were speechless.
They looked older than Xiao Ye, yet not a single one of them could win!
Not to mention they were ganging up on him, while Xiao Ye had been facing them all alone from the very beginning!
"All right, you can get lost now." Xiao Ye gave a faint smile, seeming to have already forgotten about the bet.
Seeing this, the members of the Xiao Family didn't hesitate. They greased their heels and scurried away, afraid Xiao Ye might remember the bet at any moment.
"He definitely didn't forget the bet. He's probably just too scared to offend the Xiao Family."
"Yeah, that must be it. They're a Hidden Clan, after all. His background can't possibly compare!"
Xiao Ye watched them leave.
Diwu Hanran, who had been acting as the referee, walked over. "My friend, you're just letting them go like that? Is the bet off?"
"Of course it's still on. Just not today."
Xiao Ye looked at him and smiled slightly. "Thank you for speaking up for me today."
'That guy from the Ouyang Family looked like he was scheming nonstop. I much prefer this big lug.'
"Don't mention it. It was the right thing to do."
「Outside the Chenguang Clubhouse.」
The members of the Xiao Family hadn't left immediately.
They sat in their luxury cars, no one speaking, every face grim.
Xiao Ming, for his part, took out a dagger hidden in the car.
Today, he hadn't just lost his own face; he had disgraced the entire Xiao Family!
The younger members of the Xiao Family who used to fawn over him would now surely start to question his abilities.
He had lost more than just the competitions; he had lost his authority!
'Xiao Ye must die!'
They waited for about twenty minutes before Xiao Ye came out.
He didn't even have a car. He was just walking away to hail a cab on a distant street.
Seeing this, they were even more convinced that this Xiao Ye was a nobody. 'He's probably just an illegitimate son! Otherwise, why wouldn't his family give him a car?'
One by one, they got out of their cars and blocked Xiao Ye's path.
Xiao Ming smiled ferociously. "Kid, you actually dared to come out."
Xiao Ye looked at him, completely unfazed. "What, you're such sore losers that you'd renege on a bet and now try to attack me?"
He could clearly feel the murderous intent coming from the Xiao Family members.
'A few simple competitions were enough to make them want to kill. This isn't just being narrow-minded; it's being vindictive over every tiny little thing.'
Xiao Ming pulled out the dagger. "Kid, you deserve to die!"
"Anyone who offends my Xiao Family doesn't get to live!"
"Die!"
With that, he brandished the dagger and lunged, stabbing toward Xiao Ye's chest.
Xiao Ye didn't flinch or dodge. He simply raised his arm and effortlessly caught Xiao Ming's hand.
"You think you can kill me with those pathetic skills? You must be dreaming!"
BAM!
Xiao Ming's body flew a full three meters before slamming hard into a tree and stopping.
He coughed up mouthfuls of blood, unable to speak a word.
Seeing this, the other Xiao Family members were terrified and turned to run.
Xiao Ye's voice rang out like a devil's whisper, "Did I say you could leave?"
"Attempting murder with a knife in public, is this what the Xiao Family taught you?"
"Since the Xiao Family can't teach you a lesson, I'll have to do it myself!"
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The Xiao Family members all fell to the ground, each one writhing in agony.
Xiao Ye took out a wet wipe and cleaned his fingers one by one. "Beating you scumbags just dirties my hands."
Diwu Hanran happened to come out just then and saw the scene, a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Bro, those moves you just used were impressive. Clean, decisive, no wasted motion!"
"How long have you been practicing martial arts?"
Xiao Ye thought for a moment. "Over a decade."
"That's about the same as me, but I doubt I have your kind of power!"
"Bro," Diwu Hanran said, being very forward. He threw an arm over Xiao Ye's shoulder. "What's your name?"
"I feel like we're kindred spirits. We should spar sometime when we're free."
"As for the Xiao Family business, don't worry, I can help you."
"They're nothing in my eyes. And even if I can't help you, I can ask my dad!"
Xiao Ye couldn't help but laugh at his words. "That won't be necessary. I can handle it myself."
"As for my name, you'll find out eventually. We'll have plenty of opportunities to interact in the future."
This only piqued Diwu Hanran's curiosity further, but no matter how he asked, Xiao Ye wouldn't say more.
He was a smart guy, though, so he didn't press. Instead, he opened his car door. "Where are you headed? I'll give you a ride!"
"Alright." Xiao Ye didn't hesitate and got right in the car.
They watched as one sports car after another disappeared from view.
The Xiao Family members finally had the strength to get up.
Before, they had only lost face. Now, they had lost their dignity too.
Xiao Ming didn't say a word. He climbed into his car and sped off.
Back at the Xiao Family estate, he finally showed his true colors. A woman came over to fawn on him, and he slapped her right across the face.
That wasn't all. He raised his leg and kicked her viciously. "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"
"You damn piece of shit! How dare you do this to me!"
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
By the time Xiao Ming was done venting his rage, the woman on the floor was nearly dead.
He sat on the sofa, completely unconcerned. "Someone, take her to the hospital. And remember, watch her closely. Don't let her run away."
"Yes, sir!"
At this point, Xiao Ming's mind had cleared. "Someone, go and find out for me who that guy at the Chenguang Clubhouse today really is!"
