As Xin Yi was weaving through the crowd, Lu Hanmeng was also thoroughly enjoying herself in the fight. This Violent Girl had been holding back her energy for days, and when Xin Yi had given Guan Yong a good beating yesterday, she had been itching to join in. However, there had been no opportunity for her to step in, as Xin Yi had swiftly taken down that genetically mutated ugly creature in just a few moves, leaving Lu Hanmeng feeling quite frustrated.
When that middle-aged man called for action, Xin Yi rushed into the crowd first. But there were still some thugs hanging around, and since they were doing nothing anyway, they figured they might as well take the chance to tease some decent women. They set their sights on Lu Hanmeng. Although she was violent, her looks were undeniable—she had all the right curves in all the right places. What was that saying? Right, "curvaceous." The thugs certainly enjoyed brawling with such a charming girl, so anyone who could break free rushed shamelessly towards the drool-worthy Lu Hanmeng.
However, what they didn't expect was that this stunning girl was fiercer than a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Especially with her high kick move, which had probably knocked out countless thug jaws. It was only then that the thugs regretted their choices; it turned out she was a rose with thorns—full of them, and those thorns were barbed!
Lu Hanmeng was having a blast kicking them around. In this day and age, finding a chance to have a good fight was rare, so she cherished this opportunity. Not only did she beat up the thugs who tried to surround her or take advantage of her, but she also incorporated her own creative fighting style into the mix, making the whole process quite entertaining. The thugs she defeated felt pain but also joy because for the first time today, they realized that beating someone up could be an art form—a performance art!
While they were both reveling in their success, the middle-aged man could no longer bear to watch his men being ruthlessly beaten. He shouted, "Brothers! Get your weapons!"
In fact, the remaining thugs had long wanted to grab their weapons. As seasoned thugs who had been in the game for years, they understood that this man and woman were not easy opponents. If they didn’t get their weapons soon, they would likely end up providing free exercise for their adversaries. However, since their leader hadn’t given the order yet, they couldn’t just abandon him. Now that he finally spoke up, everyone who could still move rushed out of the hotel to grab their weapons from their vehicles.
These thugs hurriedly dashed outside but overlooked something very important: in the entire hotel lobby, aside from the injured on the ground, only one person remained—their leader. Of course, they might not have intentionally abandoned him; they just went out to get their weapons. But their leader had indeed been left behind.
This was a tragedy that the middle-aged man hadn’t anticipated—his men fleeing without leaving anyone behind to protect him while facing two formidable opponents made his legs feel weak with fear. He wanted to run outside too, but his dignity as a leader prevented him from fleeing like those Red T-Shirts. Thus, he even began to regret giving that order to grab weapons.
Xin Yi looked at the terrified middle-aged man and smiled slyly. Who said I wouldn’t take advantage of a fire? No, this wasn’t really taking advantage; it was more like kicking a dog when it’s down. Xin Yi slowly walked toward him; she wasn’t in a hurry because taking him down would be easy. Instead, she wanted to apply some psychological pressure.
Although the middle-aged man wanted to appear calm and composed, unfortunately for him, he couldn’t manage it because he hadn’t fought in years and was scared. Eventually, he began retreating step by step as Xin Yi advanced—he took one step back for every step she took forward—to maintain distance between them. Although this action severely wounded his fragile pride, it still felt better than running away like a coward; as long as he could stall until his men returned with weapons, it would be a victory.
Xin Yi felt it was about time and was just about to take down the middle-aged man when she suddenly heard a rush of wind beside her—Lu Hanmeng had dashed over excitedly and exclaimed, "After beating up these lackeys for so long without much fun, I’m going to take on this Incense Master and see if it’s any more interesting!"
Well then, if you want to fight him, go ahead! Xin Yi decided to sit back on the sofa and watch how Lu Hanmeng would battle it out with that middle-aged man—consider it halftime entertainment while watching an action movie.
Lu Hanmeng rushed towards the middle-aged man like a gust of wind. When he was still two or three meters away, he suddenly kicked out a leg towards the man's chest. Tragically, the middle-aged man didn't even try to dodge; perhaps he was so frightened that he didn't know how to react. Lu Hanmeng's kick landed solidly on his chest, causing him to stagger back several steps before finally losing his balance and crashing heavily onto the floor. From the look of him, it seemed he had no intention of getting back up.
Lu Hanmeng looked at the man lying on the floor in disbelief and asked, "Are you the Incense Master of the Black Dragon Society?"
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes, I am the Incense Master of the Black Dragon Society."
"How boring! A Incense Master like you is taken down with just one kick. Tell me, how can you claim to be a Incense Master? Shouldn't leaders be stronger than their subordinates? How did you end up like this? Sigh, what a miscalculation," Lu Hanmeng said disappointedly.
In truth, the middle-aged man wanted to say: I used to know how to fight, but nowadays everyone is calling for a harmonious society, and I responded to the government's call by quitting.
At that moment, Xin Yi saw some thugs outside rushing in with blades about two feet long and two inches wide. He thought better of it; they were armed, and he didn't want to play along. Entering unarmed into a situation with weapons was not a fun thing; if his hairstyle got messed up, that would be a significant loss.
So Xin Yi shamelessly walked over to the middle-aged man, bent down, grabbed his collar, and lifted him off the ground while grinning. "Alright, now it's my turn to ask you: how do you plan to die?"
The middle-aged man pleaded pathetically, "Brother, what use is my life to you? Why not let me go? I can fulfill any request you have. What do you say?"
"No way," Xin Yi stubbornly shook his head. "This whole Yongzhou is your Black Dragon Society's territory. If I let you go, what if you turn against me for revenge? You have numbers on your side while I'm all alone. That's not safe at all. It's better for me to kill you now and then escape from Yongzhou. That would be more straightforward. Alright, let's do it this way. Hey, Lin Xi, bring me a knife!"
"Please! Brother! Boss! Big brother," the middle-aged man fully believed that this young man would not hesitate to take his life because he had heard from Ma Huateng that this guy had fled to Yongzhou after killing four people in Longchuan. A murderer who already had four lives on his conscience wouldn't care about adding a few more. But his own life was all he had; he wasn't brave enough to gamble it against a killer. Cold sweat broke out as he pleaded desperately, "As long as you don't kill me, I guarantee you'll leave Yongzhou safely. The Black Dragon Society will definitely not trouble you, okay?"
"Leave Yongzhou?" Xin Yi was displeased. "When did I say I wanted to leave Yongzhou? I've only just arrived; why would I want to leave?"
At that moment, the middle-aged man finally understood. He had heard that this guy had taken down Guan Yong because he wanted to join the Black Dragon Society, but Guan Yong had proposed unacceptable terms. Wasn't it simple? All he needed was to join the Black Dragon Society. It was just a matter of saying it; recruiting some followers was something any ordinary member could do, let alone him as an esteemed Incense Master. So the middle-aged man replied, "Yes, yes! Brother, you don't need to leave Yongzhou. How about this: I'll take care of your joining the Black Dragon Society. What do you think?"
"Is that so?" Xin Yi pondered for a moment before responding, "That doesn't seem right, does it? It sounds like I'm threatening you. If this gets out, it would seriously damage my reputation."
The middle-aged man was going crazy; this was an outright threat! If he didn't let Xin Yi join the Black Dragon Society, not only had he incapacitated one of his Altar Masters, but now he was also being threatened with death. If this wasn't a threat, then what was? However, he couldn't voice these thoughts; after all, his life was in Xin Yi's hands. A wise man doesn't take unnecessary risks, especially when he wasn't exactly a hero himself. So he immediately put on a righteous expression and said loudly, "Brother, how can you say that? When have I ever threatened you? I can prove that this is entirely voluntary on my part. If anyone dares to say you threatened me, I Liu Jinshui will not let them off the hook! This is pure slander against a good person!"
Liu Jinshui's indignant words were overheard by his subordinates who rushed in with blades drawn. They were completely confused by their boss's statement, and one bold subordinate asked, "Brother Shui, are we still going to fight?"
"Fight my ass!" Liu Jinshui was furious. What kind of eyes did these subordinates have? Couldn't they see he was being held hostage? Fighting would mean risking his own life! He angrily shouted, "Don't you all have eyes? This brother here... he's my friend! He's my esteemed guest! What the hell are you doing bringing weapons in here?! Get the hell out!"
Once the Red T-Shirts had all exited, Xin Yi spoke to Liu Jinshui in a negotiating tone, "So, Brother Shui, if I were to join the Black Dragon Society, what position could I hold? If I were just one of your subordinates, you'd definitely find a chance to retaliate against me later. I've thought about it and decided it would be better if I became an Incense Master and be on equal footing with you. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about you retaliating against me later. Don't you think?"
"Brother, I swear! I Liu Jinshui will absolutely not retaliate against you! You want to be an Incense Master and be on equal footing with me; that's not something I can decide!" Liu Jinshui was almost in tears. What kind of person was this? He hadn't even joined the Black Dragon Society yet and already wanted to be an Incense Master. This wasn't something he could control.
"They say gangsters' oaths are just hot air, so who would believe such nonsense? So who can make this decision? You need to take me to that person right now," Xin Yi said with a smile.
