Who is Chen Haoxuan? He is someone who can generate power. As he spun his body, his right hand quickly grabbed Zhang Tiezhu's wrist and pulled him forward with force, while his left hand pushed hard against Zhang Tiezhu's back. At the same time, Chen Haoxuan extended his right foot.
Zhang Tiezhu's own momentum and the force of his punch, combined with Chen Haoxuan's pull and push, prevented him from stopping immediately. Zhang Tiezhu was focused ahead and didn't watch his footing, causing him to trip over Chen Haoxuan. With a loud thud, Zhang Tiezhu's massive body fell to the ground. At this moment, there was no better time to subdue Zhang Tiezhu. Chen Haoxuan rushed to Zhang Tiezhu's side, pressing his right knee down on him while striking with the edge of his right hand toward the side of Zhang Tiezhu's neck. This area is rich in arteries and can easily knock someone out, but if the force is not controlled well, it could be fatal.
Zhang Tiezhu grunted and then passed out.
Silence fell over the scene as Jiang Dong and the others stared in disbelief at the unconscious Zhang Tiezhu on the ground. They knew he wasn't a master, but his physique was incredibly strong; it was difficult for an average person to harm him. Yet Chen Haoxuan had subdued Zhang Tiezhu with just one move, something none of them could achieve.
"Strong—our Boss is too strong," Li Jun exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah! I can finally see our Boss's true abilities," Jiang Dong added, also astonished. The last time they encountered ten formidable Masked Men in New City, they were too busy dealing with their enemies to notice how Chen Haoxuan had subdued them. Now he truly witnessed how fast Chen Haoxuan was.
Chen Haoxuan walked in front of Zhang Tiezhu and pinched his philtrum. Slowly, Zhang Tiezhu woke up, climbed to his feet, and rubbed his neck curiously asking, "What just happened to me?"
"Zhang Tiezhu, how can you still say that? You got knocked out by our Boss in one move; it's so embarrassing I don't even want to mention it," Li Jun joked.
"You think you're tough? Come on then!" Zhang Tiezhu retorted angrily. Since he had been taken down by Chen Haoxuan in one move, he felt frustrated and vented his anger on Li Jun.
"I know I can't beat the Boss; I'm self-aware, so I didn't challenge him," Li Jun replied smugly.
"Who else dares to challenge me? There's money to be won if you do!" Chen Haoxuan said with a mischievous smile.
"Boss, we can't match your intelligence or skills; aside from competing in strength, we don't know what else we could possibly excel at compared to you," Jiang Dong said sincerely. He had been following Chen Haoxuan for some time now and believed that Chen Haoxuan had the highest intelligence of anyone he had ever met.
"Then you all come at me together!" Chen Haoxuan said confidently.
"Boss, you can't be serious, right? There are thirty-five of us here! Are you sure you can take on all thirty-five of us who have military experience?" Jiang Dong asked Chen Haoxuan with a look of surprise. While he acknowledged that Chen Haoxuan was impressive, how could one person possibly take on thirty-five, especially when they were all veterans?
"Don't worry, I won't get hurt. Come on! All of you together, let me see if you're all useless," Chen Haoxuan deliberately provoked Jiang Dong and the others.
"Since the Boss has said so, we can't let him down. Brothers, let's go!" Jiang Dong shouted loudly and charged at Chen Haoxuan first.
Chen Haoxuan suddenly ran to the right because he wanted to disrupt their attack plan. They were charging straight at him, so by suddenly running to the right, it would cause Jiang Dong and the others to lose their target momentarily, forcing them to turn and chase him. Stopping and turning would take time, and that brief moment was Chen Haoxuan's opportunity.
After running a dozen steps to the right, Chen Haoxuan turned around and attacked the side of Jiang Dong and his group. As soon as he got close to them, he unleashed all his skills—simple yet swift moves, using both fists and legs, combining offense and defense, evading attacks while striking at weaknesses, balancing strength and flexibility, delivering rapid blows, and executing quick elbow strikes followed by throws.
The combination of Chen Haoxuan's speed and power created an intimidating aura. Every time he approached Jiang Dong and his group, they could feel a sense of fear.
After a short while, Chen Haoxuan began to pant. He couldn't go all out, couldn't use lethal force, couldn't use weapons, and on top of that, his stamina was lacking, which frustrated him greatly.
Half an hour later, after taking down half of Jiang Dong's group, Chen Haoxuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Stop."
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's voice, Jiang Dong and the others halted their attacks. Curiously, Jiang Dong asked Chen Haoxuan, "Boss, why did you suddenly call for a stop? We haven't determined a winner yet!"
"You idiot! Can't you see I'm out of breath? You should know my body isn't as strong as yours. Alright, I'm done fighting; if this goes on, I'll exhaust myself," Chen Haoxuan replied breathlessly.
"Boss, does this mean we've won?" Li Jun asked excitedly.
"You won nothing! I was afraid of hurting you, so I didn't dare to use my full strength; otherwise, you would all be corpses by now. If I had a dagger, I could kill all of you within ten minutes. Do you believe me?" Chen Haoxuan said angrily. He alone could take on half of Jiang Dong's group, and Li Jun still had the nerve to complain about the bonus. How could he not be furious?
"Boss, do you need us to help you rest?" Jiang Dong asked with concern.
"No need, I'm not that weak yet. You all go wash your faces! Dinner should be ready soon," Chen Haoxuan replied.
After returning to the villa, Chen Haoxuan took a shower and changed into clean clothes before heading out to have dinner at Chen Yina's house as usual.
In the afternoon, Li Ping went to help Chen Haoxuan notify all the villagers in Chen Family Village, telling them that Chen Haoxuan was treating the entire village to dinner on the 19th.
Chen Family Village has over a thousand households, and after Li Ping notified just over a hundred families, the news spread throughout the entire village. She carried a bag filled with invitations, organized in order so it would be easier for her to notify everyone; she just needed to follow the villagers' house numbers to know who had been informed.
When Li Ping passed by Chen Haorong's house, she hesitated. The invitations were written by her, her husband, and Chen Yina together; every family in the village received one except for Chen Haorong's family. "Should I give them an invitation or not?" Li Ping stood at Chen Haorong's doorstep, conflicted.
"Hey! I thought it was someone important! Turns out it's Li Ping, who got rich by selling her daughter! What do you want standing at my door?" Li Xin sneered from the second floor at Li Ping below.
