"Lin Bingbing, hurry and take Jiang Chen away. If this goes on, he really will end up in the hospital," Li Ruoxi and the others urged when they saw Jiang Chen still sitting in his chair, unmoved.
"You don't need to worry about Jiang Chen; you should be more concerned about them," Lin Bingbing said coolly, then turned to Cheng Kai. "Cheng, I advise you not to provoke Jiang Chen. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Ridiculous! Are you trying to scare me? I'm not easily intimidated. Let me tell you, I participate in underground boxing matches every year and have killed a few people. I could take down three of this kid with one punch," Cheng Kai scoffed.
"You... you've killed someone?" Liu Sisi, Li Ruoxi, and the others gasped in shock. Even Lin Bingbing's expression changed slightly; after all, murder was something far removed from ordinary people's lives.
"So don't push me to take action," Cheng Kai sneered, exuding an air of arrogance as if he were proud of his past actions, completely unaware of how laughable he appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Are you done talking?" Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up.
Seeing that Jiang Chen remained unfazed, Cheng Kai's anger boiled over. He stood up abruptly, pushed off the ground, and flew toward Jiang Chen with a punch.
"You little brat, still pretending in front of me? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be called Cheng!" Cheng Kai shouted angrily.
As Cheng Kai made his move, Liu Sisi and the others were astonished. Yet Jiang Chen remained seated without moving—was he looking for death?
"Jiang Chen, are you crazy?" Li Ruoxi shouted in alarm. Although she wasn't very familiar with him, she didn't want to see him get hurt because of Lin Bingbing.
As Cheng Kai soared toward him, just as he was about to reach Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen lifted his right foot and kicked out. Cheng Kai didn't react in time and was sent crashing into the ceiling before falling heavily back down, bruised and battered.
This unexpected scene left everyone in the private room wide-eyed and incredulous. Especially Xiao He; he knew Cheng Kai's strength and couldn't believe that someone who was tougher than a grizzly bear had been kicked away by a kid. It was truly shocking.
This must have been an accident, Xiao He reassured himself.
Not only Xiao He but even Cheng Kai himself considered it an accident. Gritting his teeth, he stood up and glared at Jiang Chen with rage burning in his eyes. He was completely consumed by anger and had lost all rational thought.
"Hmph! I was careless just now; this time, let's see how you dodge," Cheng Kai growled as he clenched his fists again and charged at Jiang Chen.
"Smack!"
As Cheng Kai approached Jiang Chen, before his punch could land, Jiang Chen slapped him hard across the face. Cheng Kai spun 720 degrees in mid-air before crashing face-first onto the ground and losing consciousness.
If the first incident could be dismissed as a fluke, no one could deny that being struck twice was no coincidence.
Either Cheng Kai was too weak or Jiang Chen was too formidable.
Liu Sisi, Li Ruoxi, and Zhou Ailing stared at Jiang Chen with their mouths agape, unable to close them for quite some time. They had always thought of him as just a nouveau riche but never imagined that his skills were so impressive.
"You... you actually killed Cheng Kai," Xiao He finally reacted upon seeing Cheng Kai lying on the ground unconscious. His handsome face turned pale with fear as he spoke in terror.
"Lin Bingbing, get some water for Cheng to wash his face," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Lin Bingbing quickly grabbed a bottle of mineral water and poured it over Cheng Kai's face. He jolted awake with a start and slowly came to his senses.
Cheng Kai woke up to see Jiang Chen sitting in a chair, smiling at him. This time, he dared not make a move.
Jiang Chen had surprisingly kept his true abilities hidden. Cheng Kai had clearly seen that Jiang Chen's hands had never touched his face, yet he had been sent flying with a single slap. It was evident that only a Master of Transformation could achieve such a feat, using external Inner Energy.
"Are you a Master of Transformation?" Cheng Kai stared at Jiang Chen, a mix of shock and anger in his eyes.
Jiang Chen smiled, looking at the disheveled Cheng Kai with an amused expression. "My strength is not something you can fathom."
"Hmph! Even if you are a Master of Transformation, so what? I am from the Cheng Family. You’ve hurt me today, and even if you are a Master of Transformation, you won’t come out unscathed," Cheng Kai retorted, his tone firm.
"The Cheng Family? I haven't heard of it," Jiang Chen replied after a moment's thought, his expression serious.
"You haven't even heard of the Cheng Family and dare to offend me? You have quite the nerve! We are one of Huaxia's top Martial Arts Families. Right after the Seven Great Martial Arts Families of Huaxia comes the Cheng Family. My grandfather is just one step away from reaching the Divine Realm," Cheng Kai boasted proudly.
"Not even at the Divine Realm, what’s there to be afraid of?" Jiang Chen chuckled.
"Just wait! I'll have my grandfather come here today. When he sees you, if you don’t kneel and beg for mercy, I won’t be called Cheng anymore," Cheng Kai said in a low voice.
"I don't have time to play with you," Jiang Chen said as he stood up, unwilling to engage further with Cheng Kai. A fly buzzing around was more tolerable than this conversation.
Seeing Jiang Chen about to leave, Cheng Kai thought he was scared and shouted, "You’re afraid! You don’t dare to meet my grandfather, do you?"
"Kid, do you think you can just walk away? My dad is the Central China Underground Leader. As long as you're in Huaxia, you can't escape my grasp," Xiao He chimed in, trying to intimidate Jiang Chen with his own background.
Jiang Chen had already turned to leave but paused at their taunts. He glanced back at them and smiled. "I'll be attending the underground boxing match this afternoon. Bring your backgrounds along; I’d like to see what you've got."
With that, Jiang Chen walked out of the private room, and Lin Bingbing naturally followed him. Li Ruoxi and Zhou Ailing hesitated for a moment before leaving as well, while Liu Sisi stayed behind.
"Sisi, who exactly is that guy?" Xiao He asked. He wasn’t foolish; he recognized that Jiang Chen had deep martial arts skills and was unafraid—he must have some significant background. If it was substantial enough, it could be troublesome since there were many forces in Huaxia that he couldn’t afford to offend.
"I... I’m not sure either. Bingbing brought him here today; she said he’s the chairman of a clothing group from Nangang City," Liu Sisi replied honestly, having previously thought he was Lin Bingbing's boyfriend.
"From Nangang City? He probably doesn’t have any significant background then. If he dares to provoke me like this, he must be tired of living," Xiao He said with a sigh of relief, dismissing Jiang Chen entirely. After all, not only was Jiang Chen just from a small county town, but even if he were from a prominent family in Nangang City, Xiao He wasn’t worried at all.
