"What just happened? How did that fellow suddenly collapse and get trampled? Are we filming a movie or something?"
"Tsk tsk, it's really lively today."
"They're all tied up; is this really okay?"
A few onlookers who remained nearby began to discuss among themselves.
The hotel security captain, seeing that the conflict seemed to have subsided, mustered his courage and stepped forward, forcing himself to say, "Everyone, this isn't right. It's illegal to restrict someone's personal freedom without cause."
"Which of your eyes saw us detaining anyone? This is all voluntary. If someone wants them to leave, they can. Otherwise, are you going to cover our medical expenses, labor costs, and compensation for emotional distress?" Yang Xiaoyou replied with a somewhat incredulous expression, as if he were being stopped from doing something completely natural.
Upon hearing this response, the security captain decided not to press further. Asking was part of his duty; he had already made an effort. As a head of security, he was well aware of the reputation of the Red Dragon gang.
According to some industry practices, he didn't believe that the Red Dragon members would contact the police to intervene; that would be too embarrassing.
Although such cases might seem impactful, in a society steeped in martial culture, countless incidents like this occurred. They could be illegal but didn't reach the level of crime—if the victims didn't report it, the police would generally turn a blind eye unless a serious offense took place. In such cases, they would tacitly allow both sides to resolve matters according to 'underworld rules.'
Due to limited police resources, unsolved cases were prevalent these days. Such unspoken rules served as an important means of maintaining stability, and even the police had little interest in breaking these chains.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Xiaoyou. You can call me 'Doctor.' I am the team leader of this assistance group." After stabilizing the situation, the brown-haired middle-aged White Man began to show his credentials to Song Enfu. He then politely approached Yang Xiaoyou and spoke in fluent Chinese.
Although he tried to maintain a calm tone, his eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion as he looked at Yang Xiaoyou. He understood his own abilities.
In other circumstances, he might have been considered a versatile talent at Blackwater Security Company, but within Hive Security Company, he was indeed just a half-baked individual without any competitive specialty, only able to serve as non-combat personnel providing support to fill necessary positions.
Even so, he prided himself on not being weaker than an average special forces soldier, yet in this situation, he had no idea what had happened.
A thunderous roar filled with magnetic resonance echoed in his mind. It felt as if after being squeezed by darkness from all directions, opening his eyes meant it was already over.
He had expected to see the core members of the company engaging in a 'sparring' match with the other party, but it was completely unexpected.
It utterly shattered his worldview!
Previously, he had regarded this newly promoted formal member, whom he had never met before, with indifference. He thought this person was merely someone who had become a formal member through some skills. Their physical aspects should be quite weak, requiring assistance for protection during missions.
However, the changes before him indicated just how wrong his assumptions were!
Even though he didn't know what had happened, the outcome was enough to show that this formal member possessed absolute strength to suppress the opponent.
"Don't pay too much attention to it; it's just a clever use of force combined with some props. I'm just a formal member—well, a slightly special formal member," Yang Xiaoyou said casually about the assistance member sent over, his expression matching his appearance and demeanor quite well.
Meanwhile, the Red Dragon group, bound and listening to such remarks, felt as if they were about to spit blood.
As the introduction of the fellow reached their ears, almost everyone felt a flicker of disdain in their hearts.
Even though they had heard some rumors about Hive Security internally, they paid little attention to it. Regardless of whether their strength truly matched their reputation, having such a fellow among the official members at least posed no immediate problem.
In their own territory, aside from being mindful of their reputation, there was no need for any other concerns.
Uh...
The result of such thoughts was that they found themselves being led toward the elevator in a line.
Captives.
Even if they were reluctant to admit it, they all knew that they were now captives—the disgrace of the Red Dragon!
As for the vague hints exchanged among themselves, it brought a bitter realization to their hearts. For most of them, the distance to understanding this was somewhat far. Even having witnessed some top members within the company, they still could not grasp the intricacies involved.
In truth, even if the others did not realize it, they had likely thought about it to some extent; they just confirmed it upon hearing it.
The so-called tools mentioned made most people’s hearts briefly flash with thoughts of single-soldier sonic grenades and similar weapons. After all, everyone vividly remembered that piercing shriek in their minds. If that mysterious force combined with some advanced tools could achieve such phenomena, they could reluctantly accept it.
This blend of seven parts truth and three parts falsehood successfully created an illusion among those present.
Upon reflection, Yang Xiaoyou's words contained no deception; this was indeed a technique for using force and involved the use of tools. Moreover, he was indeed a somewhat special official member.
This partial information allowed them to construct their own 'lie,' which could be easily dealt with.
Even Song Enfu experienced a similar illusion, but now he was lying on the ground, his face swollen and several of his molars broken, looking quite miserable like Ye Weilong.
Feeling the unshakable pressure above him, Heart began to harbor some doubts, questioning both the villain who had trampled on his dignity and his own feelings.
"You've got quite the nerve. What if something goes wrong? Are we just going to kill everyone?" Charming Shadow, walking alongside Yang Xiaoyou, lightly laughed with her alluring voice. Her playful demeanor caused her ample bosom to sway enticingly.
Having spent so much time in close proximity, Heart understood that her master Heart seemed to have deep concerns.
"There's no need for that. They need people in Africa right now. If something does happen, we can just send them over. Our shipping company headquarters is right here; sending a group out to sea is nothing," Yang Xiaoyou replied casually. Yet beneath this seemingly indifferent response lay a hint of coldness, as if the captives of the Red Dragon were merely goods without any rights.
Moreover, it was clear that when necessary, he was not only looking to seize an opportunity but also did not mind engaging in a full confrontation with the Red Dragon!
Whether to make Hive Security Company the seventh major player like Blackwater Security Company or to replace one of the existing six was a significant distinction.
After weighing the gains and losses based on the current situation, Yang Xiaoyou also dialed Nobunaga Hideyoshi on the way, ready to inform him of his decision now that everything was in place.
"When do you plan to keep us locked up? We’ve already admitted our mistake, and Captain Song has apologized to you. You've even beaten Weilong into this state! What more do you want? Why are you keeping us here?" The only woman among the captives protested as they were escorted into their designated room, her hands bound behind her back.
"You Red Dragons have been in this position for too long. Although you're just a second-tier Combat Team, your quality is concerning. I'm merely giving you a free lesson; let your people come and collect them," Yang Xiaoyou said with a smirk as he handed Song Enfu's phone to him.
There had already been enough incidents recently, and encountering this problem was giving him a headache. However, with many debts owed, it was a good time to settle everything at once during this holiday period, which would save him considerable trouble in the future.
Hearing this, Song Enfu straightened up and pressed the call button with a grim expression on his face.
The six assistants sent over may not have been as strong as the Red Dragon team, but since their hands were restrained now, guarding them was not an issue. The injured one could rest inside for a while; his injuries were mainly from shock and were not severe.
While waiting for the Red Dragon's reaction, Yang Xiaoyou arrived at Fia's original room, as he still had a task to protect her.
Initially, Fia did not follow Charming Shadow outside, wanting to avoid any tension with the Red Dragon. However, when Yang Xiaoyou entered the room, he found her engrossed in a game with Dream Butterfly.
"Choose this option! Ah! You're driving me crazy! You're doing this on purpose!" Fia exclaimed in frustration, pointing at the screen and playfully pinching Dream Butterfly's cheek.
Dream Butterfly had chosen an option that completely contradicted Fia's choice in the game. It didn't help that she was attacked in the process, causing her originally delicate face to puff up slightly, giving her a more adorable appearance.
Both of them seemed so absorbed in the game that they didn't even notice Yang Xiaoyou's arrival, let alone what was happening outside.
This eased Yang Xiaoyou's initial concern about whether the cunning princess had sensed anything amiss.
However, seeing Fia shouting about options made his mouth twitch slightly; sometimes, he truly found it hard to understand the Silver-Haired Princess.
