Chapter 20: A Sinister Move
Liu Ziyan turned her pleading gaze towards Xiao Yun.
"Mr. Xiao, you see..." Liu Ziyan looked at him, hesitating to continue.
Xiao Yun was not someone who liked to meddle in others' affairs. He was originally an orphan, taken in by Cuihua, where he endured much bullying and humiliation, which shaped his submissive character. If it weren't for Cuihua forcing him to draw a portrait for the village chief, he would not have impulsively come to Galaxy City.
Upon arriving in Galaxy City, he intended to make a living using his skills and never expected to encounter the Old Man. After receiving the colorful Heart Pearl from him and merging with it, he noticed changes in his temperament; he became more impulsive and would intervene when witnessing injustice.
Xiao Yun understood Liu Ziyan's implication; she hoped he would help her at this moment. Without any hesitation, he packed his drawing supplies and slung them over his shoulder, saying, "Take me to Phoenix City!"
Liu Ziyan's face lit up with joy as the bald man bowed slightly towards Xiao Yun and said, "Mr. Xiao, please!"
Liu Ziyan retrieved an Audi A6 from the garage and invited Xiao Yun into the car, with the bald man sitting beside him. They started the car and drove out of the villa's gate.
In less than a minute, they arrived at the entrance of the Phoenix City Hotel.
Inside the hotel, there were indeed many people present; however, they were not there to dine. Anyone with keen eyes could tell they were there to cause trouble.
Groups of three or five sat scattered around tables; some were shirtless, others had dragon tattoos on their arms, and some even had their hair dyed bright red...
Xiao Yun scanned the room with sharp eyes but did not see Gu Tianfeng.
A few people were gathered around Han Xing, with a blonde young man pointing at her and saying, "Hey beautiful, give me a smile. If I like it, I'll take you out tonight!"
On Han Xing's left cheek, there was a slight redness and swelling, clearly the result of being hit.
A group of big men came to cause trouble, targeting a defenseless woman. What kind of behavior was that?
Xiao Yun suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He leaped forward like a ghost, positioning himself right behind the Blond Kid, while placing a hand on his shoulder.
The Blond Kid immediately felt a tremendous force, as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulder, causing his bones to creak under the pressure.
"It’s you..." Han Xing's gaze passed over the Blond Kid's shoulder and landed on Xiao Yun, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, his face showing an expression of surprise.
Who is this person? The Blond Kid, filled with confusion and fear, barely turned his head back—
Smack! Smack!!!
After several crisp slaps echoed through the hall, it seemed as if the entire place reverberated.
Xiao Yun's slaps sent the Blond Kid flying, crashing into a table in the distance. With a loud crash, the table overturned, followed by a scream from that direction.
The few people sitting at that table looked at Xiao Yun in shock.
One particularly large man, resembling a bear, stared intently at Xiao Yun with a vicious glint in his eyes.
Several others who had gathered around Han Xing were still trying to comprehend what had happened when Xiao Yun swept his hand across them, sending them all tumbling to the ground several meters away. Their heads hit the floor, leaving them dazed and disoriented.
At that moment, Han Xing spotted Liu Ziyan standing at the door. He froze for an instant before rushing over in excitement and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you... you can stand up now?"
Liu Ziyan hugged Han Xing and smiled, "Xingxing, this is Mr. Xiao who helped me stand up from the wheelchair!"
Ah...
Liu Ziyan's words caught the attention of a large man sitting not far away, who was as big as a bear. He was taken aback, wondering how this man managed to get the woman out of her wheelchair.
Xiao Yun suddenly asked coldly, "Who led the trouble here?"
The bear-like man stood up, his face twisted in a fierce expression as he faced Xiao Yun. "You brat, I'm Black Bull!"
Xiao Yun's icy gaze fell on the man who called himself Black Bull. This guy really did look like a bull!
He felt a sense of familiarity and suddenly remembered that earlier today, he had seen this man at Love Pavilion while having lunch with Duan Qingxue.
Xiao Yun looked at Black Bull with a strange expression and asked, "What did you just call me?"
Black Bull stepped forward provocatively and said, "I called you brat. What about it?"
Immediately, a flicker of malice flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes. He leaned forward, and when Black Bull threw a punch, Xiao Yun caught it with one hand while his other hand moved like lightning to grab Black Bull by the neck, lifting him off the ground.
Black Bull never expected his opponent to be so fast and incredibly strong. Weighing over two hundred pounds, he found himself being lifted off the ground like a small chick.
Xiao Yun's grip tightened around his neck, making it hard for him to breathe. His face turned purple, and his tongue lolled out like a panting dog. To make matters worse, snot and tears streamed down his face due to the pressure, but he couldn't wipe them away as his hands trembled uncontrollably.
This guy often brought trouble here and acted arrogantly, but now he was reduced to such a pitiful state by Xiao Yun without any effort. A few hotel staff members who had been hiding nearby couldn't help but cover their mouths to suppress their laughter.
Bang!
The massive Black Bull was thrown a yard away by Xiao Yun, crashing face-first into the wall, blood streaming from his nostrils. He then spat out two of his front teeth.
Struggling to get up from the ground, Black Bull shouted angrily at the people inside the room, "Take this kid down!"
One by one, those people stood up, each brandishing a gleaming knife.
Liu Ziyan felt a tightness in her chest. With so many people attacking Xiao Yun, could he withstand it? She quickly exchanged a glance with Han Xing, who understood and quietly took out her phone.
This small detail caught Xiao Yun's attention. He smiled and said, "You don't need to call the police; otherwise, it won't be fun!"
Han Xing was taken aback. How did he know she was about to call the police?
Little did she know that the more abnormal the situation became, the more observant Xiao Yun was. In such moments, seeing her take out her phone made him wonder what else she could be doing besides calling for help.
He didn't want to alert the police. He could tell that under broad daylight, these thugs were so brazen because they had a solid backing. Even if the police intervened and arrested them, they would be out in no time, which would only embolden them further.
The only solution now was to teach them a lesson that would instill fear in them, making sure they never dared to step foot in Phoenix City again.
Especially when he saw these people pull out their knives, Xiao Yun felt a surge of anger. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes as he scanned each person's face with a cold gaze.
Crack!
The kid with fiery red hair had just lunged at Xiao Yun when suddenly his vision blurred, and his knife fell to the ground. At the same time, he found one of Xiao Yun's hands gripping his wrist. With a sharp sound, his wrist was snapped, exposing white bone.
"Ah..." The Red-Haired Kid cried out in pain as he clutched his wrist and spun around in place, especially horrified by the sight of his exposed bone. His screams echoed like a wail of despair.
Crack, crack—oh no...
As a loud noise echoed through the hall, all the knives dropped to the ground, accompanied by a chorus of wailing and screams.
Black Bull stood by, dumbfounded, trembling all over, his heart pounding like thunder, feeling a chill throughout his body. The malevolent aura radiating from Xiao Yun made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Who exactly was this guy? His strikes were truly sinister.
What terrified him the most was that he hadn't even seen how Xiao Yun had made his move; his subordinates were already lying on the ground.
He had refrained from calling the police just for the thrill of it, to let him have a good time? Where did this Freak come from?
Was this guy some kind of monster?
Meanwhile, Han Xing narrowed her beautiful Phoenix Eyes slightly, her delicate brows furrowing. She thought to herself that according to Bald Man's investigation, this person had come from the countryside to Galaxy City to work, making a living by drawing portraits. But how did he end up with Duan Qingxue, and why was his skill so remarkable?
Even more incredible was how he had helped his sister-in-law stand up from her wheelchair.
She curiously observed Xiao Yun, her usual cold gaze now softened like a gentle autumn stream...
Han Xing pondered again: if she could really keep this person around, would anyone dare to cause trouble in the future?
What methods could she use to make him stay? As she thought about it, her face suddenly flushed... The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
