Chapter 493: Chapter 0491 Background (First Update)_1
Looking at the rabble below, Ye Xiong feigned fear and said, “I’m sorry, everyone, it was I who crippled Wang Guo. Actually, it wasn’t on purpose, I did it deliberately. If you think I did something wrong, why don’t you come down here and hit me!”
Suddenly, the crowd erupted like a thousand waves.
Cheap, it was really too cheap.
Arrogant, it was really too arrogant.
I’ve seen the arrogant, but never someone this arrogant.
Instantly, these small-time thugs crazily surged towards Ye Xiong.
Then, the sounds of thumping began non-stop. Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird struck simultaneously, swinging punches left and right. The several men in the front were knocked to the ground, unable to get up.
Afterward, more kept charging over, but to say that they reached Ye Xiong was overstating it—they couldn’t even get past Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird.
At first, Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird were holding back, but seeing these guys were ignorant of their own mortality, thinking they could win just by their numbers, they increased the force of their blows. Suddenly, those men started crying out as they lay on the floor, all seriously injured, with several having their limbs broken.
Murong Ruyin and Tang Qiqi stood behind Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird, feeling like there was an indestructible wall in front of them. No matter how many people there were, they couldn’t break through the defense of the two.
Tang Ning and Murong Ruyin didn’t find it surprising, they knew the capability of Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird. Instead, it was Xia Qiqi who was shocked beyond belief.
The man and woman in front were clearly super martial artists, each capable of fighting dozens of others. She couldn’t believe that such powerful individuals were under Ye Xiong, which made her wonder how formidable Ye Xiong’s martial arts must be.
In a short while, the hotel lobby was littered with bodies, and no one else dared to rush forward to meet their demise.
“Too weak, is this all you’ve got? I’m not even warmed up yet!” Chen Xiao cursed.
“A bunch of trash.” Vermilion Bird scoffed.
Ye Xiong looked down at the group and sneered, “So many of you came, yet not a single leader among you? Who’s the biggest shot here, come on out.”
Immediately, all eyes turned to a thirty-something, bald man in the crowd.
The bald man had been laying low, not expecting to be singled out, but then reluctantly stepped forward.
“I’m Li Guang from Aoyun Society. If you want to leave here alive, just surrender quietly. Otherwise, you’ll regret it,” Li Guang said, stiffening his resolve.
“You seem to have misunderstood the situation,” Ye Xiong pointed at the thugs writhing on the floor, “Shouldn’t that be my line?”
Li Guang’s face turned alternately green and white with Ye Xiong’s words, but he was helpless and could only continue, “Don’t think you’re tough because you can fight. This is Macau, our territory. We have a thousand ways to ensure you’ll never leave this place.”
“Quit the nonsense, bring Wang Jiang out to me. I don’t have time to waste on small fry like you,” Ye Xiong waved his hand impatiently.
He planned to settle this and return to Jiangnan to live his life, not to play games with them.
Li Guang was at a loss for words and was about to speak when suddenly a furious shout was heard.
“What do you think you’re doing? Looking to fight? Don’t you believe I’ll arrest you all and throw you in jail? Disperse immediately,” a police officer accompanied by four or five policemen approached from behind and walked towards Ye Xiong’s side.
By their side was a man in his fifties, his hair on both sides white, looking extremely angry.
If he guessed correctly, that person must be Wang Jiang, the father of Wang Guo and the boss of Wanji Company.
The hundreds of thugs moved aside but did not disperse.
Li Guang looked towards Wang Jiang, seeking guidance with his eyes. Wang Jiang gave him a knowing look, and Li Guang understood.
“Officer comrade, you are the law enforcement of Macau. Some people think they can do whatever they want just because they know a bit of martial arts. They’ve beaten our friend to a pulp and insulted us locals as trash. If you don’t arrest him, how will you answer to the people of Macau?”
“Right, right, arrest him.”
“Murder is repaid with a life, injury with jail time.”
“So what if he can fight, does he think he can stop a bullet?”
The anger among the onlookers was not easily quelled.
“We police have our own ways of doing things, there’s no need for you all to intervene, everyone shut up,” the leading officer ordered.
The surrounding thugs all fell silent; it seemed this so-called officer wielded some power around here.
Keep pretending, just keep it up!
Ye Xiong sneered at the obvious collusion, yet they were still playing this game in front of him.
A group of officers approached Vermilion Bird and Chen Xiao and told them, “Move aside.”
Instead of moving, Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird stared at them coldly.
“I told you to get lost, are you deaf?” the officer yelled.
“Bang!”
Vermilion Bird kicked him, sending him flying and landing flat on his rear.
A mere junior officer dares to yell at her?
Although they were no longer with the National Security Bureau, one of them had been in the intelligence department and the othe in Dragon Group—they were both core figures. In terms of capability and authority, the fool in front of them wouldn’t measure up even if he served another ten or twenty years as a policeman to what they were.
He dares to yell at them?
“Dare to attack the police, and see if I don’t shoot you both right now,” he threatened.
The officer was about to draw his gun when a figure appeared before him; Vermilion Bird had already reached him, lifting him with one hand, the other holding a dagger to his throat.
“Believe me, I could finish you right here, right now,” Vermilion Bird said coldly.
“If you dare harm me, it means you’re defying the law, and you will not have a good ending,” the officer said, his bravado masking his fear.
“Try saying that again,” Vermilion Bird dared, her dagger lightly grazing his skin.
The officer felt a chill at his throat and almost thought he was done for, too scared to even breathe heavily.
The feeling of walking along the line of death nearly made his legs buckle.

“Don’t let me see you drawing your weapon again, or next time, you won’t be so lucky,” Vermilion Bird snorted coldly and returned to Chen Xiao’s side.
The people around were all intimidated by Vermilion Bird’s presence.
To even dare lay a knife on a police officer’s throat—just how fierce was this girl, and who on earth was she?
At that point, Wang Jiang could no longer contain himself and stood forth, saying, “Officer Zhang, I don’t care who he is, the fact remains he hurt my son. He’s my only son, and he left him crippled, for life, unable to have children. If you don’t arrest him, how will the special district police command respect in the future?”
“You keep saying I ruined your son, why don’t you mention the reason,” Ye Xiong looked at Wang Jiang with a cold gaze and said, “With the way that trash of yours behaves, I would have been doing a public service by killing him on the spot. To cripple him was merciful on my part.”
“Regardless, you did injure someone, and I hope you will come with us to assist with the investigation,” the officer said.
“Sorry, I’m not free to go with you, and even if I were, you wouldn’t be qualified,” Ye Xiong responded.
After saying that, he took out his phone and directly called Long Zaitian.
He had no intention to waste so much time.
