Lin Chen turned around and saw a charming-looking woman nestled in the arms of a burly man, her attitude one of complete bliss.
Then, looking at Hao Lin’s pale face, Lin Chen helplessly shook his head.
It seemed his brother had been dumped.
"Xue Qing, why, why?" Hao Lin rushed over, his eyes bloodshot.
The girl in the burly man’s embrace kept her head down, her face carrying a hint of guilt.
At that moment, the man beside the girl spoke, "Why, are you an idiot? Obviously, because I’m better than you, more suitable for her."
Xue Qing finally lifted her head, as if she had made up her mind, "Hao Lin, I admit I once liked you, but that’s all in the past now. Wang Kui’s family background and wealth are something your family can’t compare with. What I want isn’t your small favors; I want the life of the rich and powerful, but you can’t give that to me, so let’s just end this!"
"Who says I can’t give it to you? I’ll work hard, I’ve always been working hard. I’ve already passed the assessment and joined the Martial Arts Association, I will earn lots and lots of money for you," Hao Lin said, unable to accept it.
"Hao Lin, stop fooling yourself. In today’s society, it’s all about who your parents are; what’s the use of your efforts alone?" Xue Qing shook her head.
"You hear that, kid? A loser like you is not worthy of Xue Qing. Beat it if you know what’s good for you, or don’t blame me for being rude," Wang Kui sneered.
Tears glistened in the corners of Hao Lin’s eyes, "Xue Qing, you said you’d always be with me."
"I did say that, back when I was still in university, when I was too naive. Enough, Hao Lin, you’re not good enough for me," Xue Qing sneered.
"I’m not good enough for you?" A chill flashed in Hao Lin’s eyes, his body trembling.
"Kid, I’ll count to three and you better get lost or don’t blame me for beating you to a pulp," Wang Kui snorted coldly.
"You want me to get lost?" The earth spiritual power in Hao Lin surged unceasingly, gathering in the palm of his hand, which he raised high, about to strike.
At that moment, a hand suddenly pressed down on his hand, "Hao Lin, have you forgotten the rules of the Martial Arts Association?"
"I don’t care, I want to kill this bastard," Hao Lin said furiously.
"Fool, is such trash worth this?" Lin Chen said in a deep voice.
As soon as Lin Chen’s words fell, Zhao Xueqing was displeased, "Who are you calling trash?"
"Of course, whoever asked is the one I’m talking about," Lin Chen said, his gaze icy as he looked at Zhao Xueqing.
"You bastard, Big Kui, take care of him for me," Zhao Xueqing said angrily to the man by her side.
Wang Kui snorted coldly, his gaze icy as he stared at Lin Chen, "Kid, you dare say my girlfriend is trash?"
"Yes, that’s right. If she’s trash, then you must be the rubbish collector, right? Always picking up other people’s trash," Lin Chen sneered coldly.
"Are you looking to die, kid?" Wang Kui’s face darkened.
"You’re not worthy to make me die," Lin Chen said with a thick smile on his face.
"Haha, do you know who I am? I’m from the Hua Xia Special Forces Snowfox Brigade, ever heard of a soldier king? That’s me," Wang Kui sneered.
"The Snowfox Brigade? Isn’t that the most awesome special forces unit in Hua Xia?"
"Yeah, I’ve heard everyone who comes out of that special forces unit is soldier king-level strong."
"I’ve heard they have a license to kill; it’s not even illegal for them to kill people," the crowd murmured, making Wang Kui even more smug.
With a stretch of his hand, he actually pulled out a black gun from his waist and aimed it at Lin Chen.
"A gun, he’s actually got a gun!" cries of shock rose from the crowd.
Wang Kui sneered, "Kid, I’ve got a license to kill. Even if I shoot you dead, you’d have it coming. Kneel if you don’t want to die, did you hear me?"
Lin Chen, looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, still wore a faint smile on his face, "A soldier king is a soldier king, never far from his gun, eh? Your license to kill is meant for killing bad guys, not for using on ordinary citizens, and it’s certainly not an excuse for arrogance."
"Kid, stop preaching, I’m going to count to three, and if you’re not kneeling, I’m taking you down," Wang Kui snorted.
Zhao Xueqing looked on proudly at her man showing off, increasingly believing she had made the right choice.
"One!" Wang Kui held the gun and stared at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, far from kneeling, walked towards him.
"Two!" Wang Kui’s face grew colder as Lin Chen kept approaching.
"Three!"
"Kid, you think I really wouldn’t dare to shoot? Go to hell!" And with a vicious look, Wang Kui actually pulled the trigger.
At such a close distance, he was certain that Lin Chen was as good as dead.
"Click!"
To everyone’s surprise, there was no sound of gunfire, and Wang Kui was stunned.
He carried this gun with him every day, as familiar to him as his own hands, how could it suddenly misfire?
But he immediately noticed something felt wrong in his hand, the gun was significantly lighter.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Are you looking for this?"
As he spoke, Lin Chen spread his hand open, and the magazine from the pistol was in his palm.
Clack, clack.
One by one, Lin Chen flicked the bullets out of his hand, and they fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The entire hall was silent, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
When had he taken Wang Kui’s magazine? That was the question on almost everyone’s mind.
"Impossible, this can’t be possible!" Wang Kui looked at the magazine in Lin Chen’s hand as if he had seen a ghost.
"Just now, did you ask me to kneel?"
Looking at Wang Kui with a smile, Lin Chen tossed the last bullet into the air and flicked it lightly with his finger.
Whoosh!
The bullet, falling through the air, shot through Wang Kui’s thigh as though it had been fired from the barrel of a gun.
"Ahh," Wang Kui let out a pained scream and thudded to his knees on the ground.
"Kneel before me, even the Soldier King must bow in my presence!"
Everyone stared dumbfounded at Wang Kui kneeling on the ground, a chill running through them.
This was the Soldier King, yet he was being tormented like a dog before Lin Chen, compliantly kneeling when told to.
Wang Kui was even more horrified, realizing that this young man was the infamous figure that even the Soldier King would avoid.
Lin Chen paid no mind to Wang Kui kneeling on the ground and instead fixed his icy gaze on Zhao Xueqing.
"Zhao Xue Qing, you said Hao Lin was not worthy of you, but you were wrong. It’s not that he isn’t worthy of you, but you are certainly not worthy of him," he said.
"Hao Lin is my brother, and in the future, the Hao Lin family will surely hold a place among the four major families of the Capital City. You do not match him in virtue, character, or looks!"
Then Lin Chen’s gaze swept across the hall, "Here, I want to greet everyone present. From now on, whatever Hao Lin says, consider it as if I said it. Whoever crosses Hao Lin is crossing me, Lin Chen."
"Boss!" At that moment, Hao Lin was on the verge of tears.
The entire hall was silent, Zhao Xueqing’s complexion deathly pale.
She suddenly regretted her actions; she didn’t truly love Wang Kui, but if she had to say she loved something about him, it was his family background and money.
Since high school, Zhao Xueqing had been with Hao Lin; three years through high school, three years at the university, they had once promised to always be together, but she had betrayed that promise.
She wanted to make amends, but Zhao Xueqing knew it was impossible now.
Because in Hao Lin’s eyes, she could no longer see the tenderness that used to be there, only deep disgust.
"Alright, now you can get lost," Lin Chen said coldly.
Supporting a limping Wang Kui, Zhao Xueqing left in a miserable state, and once again, everyone’s faces revealed a trace of shock.
After all, the events of the previous days had been hearsay, but today they had seen them with their own eyes.
Just then, a series of crisp clapping sounds suddenly erupted from the front table.
"Indeed arrogant, indeed domineering. I never expected a little country bumpkin to be so arrogant now," a voice said.
This voice, like a thunderclap, instantly made the entire hall so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All eyes were focused on the man in white.
The man poured a glass of whiskey into his mouth and slowly turned his head.
Seeing that figure, Qin Mengfan’s face suddenly changed, it was him!
