The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Li Ming had planned to wait for payday and pay a little back each month.

But unexpectedly, Brother Nan came looking for trouble and even tried to make them sign a high-interest loan.

On their combined salaries, if they signed, they would never be able to pay off the debt in their lifetime.

Having figured out what was going on, Xiao Ye stepped out from the crowd and approached Li Ming and his wife.

When Li Yue saw him, her eyes lit up. "Sir, please help us!"

Xiao Ye nodded and looked at Brother Nan. "Your clothes aren't worth thirty thousand."

With that, he pulled out three hundred yuan and tossed it on the ground. "Three hundred. Take it and get lost!"

Brother Nan was stunned. He never thought someone would actually dare to start trouble with him.

He quickly recovered, a cruel smile spreading across his lips. "Kid, you actually dare to stick up for someone else!"

A nearby subordinate whispered, "Brother Nan, he's a new face. We've never seen him around before."

Brother Nan nodded. "Looks like you don't know who I am."

"This is my turf. Not even God himself would dare to mess with me here!"

Xiao Ye's lips curled into a scornful smile. "I'll ask you one more time. Are you taking the three hundred or not?"

"If you don't, you'll regret it."

"Fuck!" Brother Nan was getting angry. "Kid, it looks like you've got a death wish!"

"Men, get him! Beat him to the ground!"

"This is a perfect chance to show all of you the price for crossing me!"

As he finished speaking, his underlings immediately made their move.

The onlookers couldn't bear to watch. "Young man, maybe you should just apologize to Brother Nan."

"Yeah, we've never seen you before. Why stick your nose in other people's business?"

"Brother Nan isn't totally unreasonable. Just apologize and you'll be fine."

Brother Nan nodded smugly. "That's right. Kneel and apologize, and I'll let you off the hook today. Then you can get lost!"

'To think a little punk would dare speak to me like that.'

Xiao Ye said nothing, merely beckoning with his hand.

In an instant, several figures appeared behind him.

"Huh? Where did they come from? I didn't see them at all."

"I was standing right behind the kid and I didn't notice a thing!"

"They must have been standing up front the whole time."

Xiao Ye's voice was ice-cold. "Beat them. Beat them until they can't get back up."

'If they can't stand, they can't cause trouble.'

"Yes!"

"Fuck! You're choosing the hard way, kid. You really think those few skinny guys with you can take on my men?"

"Brothers, get 'em!"

Brother Nan had more than a dozen men, while Xiao Ye only had three.

The onlookers shook their heads. "Young man, not only are you in for it, but you're dragging your friends down with you."

"There's no way you can be their match. Those guys fight all the time; they're seasoned!"

"Exactly. I thought Li Ming was a good guy, but he hasn't said a single word while this stranger is sticking his neck out for him."

"If these young men get beaten up, he might even have to pay their medical bills!"

Li Ming glanced at the murmuring crowd but said nothing.

'He'd already realized that Xiao Ye was no ordinary person.'

'Dealing with a few punks like these would be a piece of cake for him!'

BANG!

BANG!

To the absolute astonishment of the crowd,

Brother Nan and all his underlings were on the ground, wailing in agony.

They couldn't even dream of getting up; they didn't have the strength to move a muscle, their bodies wracked with pain.

Silently, the three men returned to their positions behind Xiao Ye.

From start to finish, their clothes weren't even ruffled, let alone sustaining a single injury.

The crowd was stunned.

"No wonder he dared to get involved. Turns out his men are that good!"

"So what if they're good? Don't forget, Brother Nan isn't just anybody. His big brother is the top Local Bully around here!"

"No matter how tough you are, you can't beat the Local Bully. I heard he has hundreds of guys working for him!"

Li Ming's face paled. "He's right, Brother Nan's older brother really is the Local Bully here..."

"Maybe we should take this chance to get out of here."

"Worst case, we'll quit our jobs and move somewhere else."

"We can go to Jiangcheng first every month and then come back to make deliveries. It's a hassle, but it's better than being pushed around."

Xiao Ye shook his head. "We're not leaving."

He walked over to Brother Nan and, to everyone's utter shock, planted his foot on the man's face.

"You have a 'Local Bully' for a big brother, right?"

"In that case, call him over. I'll deal with all of you at once. It'll save me the trouble of you coming back later and wasting my time!"

Brother Nan's face lit up with surprised delight. He never imagined Xiao Ye would actually say that.

'He had been thinking he was done for this time, with no way to contact his brother. But his opponent had just handed him a golden opportunity. The guy was practically begging to die!'

"Fine, I'll call him right now!"

With great effort, Brother Nan pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

The call connected almost instantly. He yelled frantically, "Brother! We've got trouble!"

"I got beat up! My guys were no match for them!"

"The guy who did it says he wants you to come here. He said he'll kill us otherwise!"

"What?!" a furious voice roared from the other end of the line. "Fine, I'm on my way!"

"Half an hour! I'll be there!"

The call ended.

Brother Nan glared at Xiao Ye, already plotting how he would make him pay.

Xiao Ye had one of his men bring a chair from nearby, then sat down to wait.

Mu Xiang, ever the quick thinker, found a couple of folding stools from a small kiosk and pulled Lin Chuyue down to sit as well.

As a young lady from a wealthy family, Lin Chuyue had never sat on something so crude.

She couldn't bear to refuse Mu Xiang's kind gesture and was about to sit down when a Death Warrior appeared before her with a proper stool. "Lady of the House, please have a seat."

Being called "Lady of the House" made her face flush bright red. Fortunately, her mask hid most of it. "Don't call me that," she mumbled.

She sat down on the stool, which left Mu Xiang sitting a level below her.

Mu Xiang looked a little peeved but said nothing, simply pulling a bag of sunflower seeds out of her pocket.

None of the onlookers left. A spectacle like this didn't even come around once a year.

「Half an hour passed.」

The sound of car engines roared from outside.

Several minivans screeched to a halt, one after another. A man with a thick, bushy beard stepped out.

He wore a mink coat and a thick gold chain, as if afraid people wouldn't know he was a nouveau riche.

Seeing his backup arrive, Brother Nan instantly perked up. "Brother, I'm over here!"

Unable to stand, he could only lie on the ground and point at Xiao Ye. "That's the kid! He's the one who beat me up!"

"Brother, you have to get revenge for me! My reputation will be ruined otherwise!"

"Alright, I'll get revenge for you," the man said, leading his own underlings through the crowd.

When he saw Xiao Ye, he frowned slightly. "He's the one who did this to you?"

"No, it was the three men behind him, too!"

"Brother, it was mainly those three. They're the fighters. This kid looks like nothing special!"
