The Umbrella Emperor's eyes brimmed with rage, yet he refrained from making another move.
The sky was about to brighten, and looking at it, the Umbrella Emperor felt increasingly frantic.
The night was the Umbrella Emperor's home turf; by day, he might as well be blind.
The Umbrella Emperor rapidly weighed his options and ultimately, without any hesitation, turned and leaped away, vanishing from sight.
Po Jun watched the Umbrella Emperor's departure, standing still without moving, and heaved a sigh of relief, as blood slowly trickled from his seven orifices—he had been at the end of his rope, only putting on a brave face to intimidate the Umbrella Emperor.
"Damn, a Super First-class Expert sure is... formidable. Just the Gang Qi alone nearly shattered me," Po Jun muttered, standing stock-still like a statue, motionless, having fainted, yet he didn't forget his last command—to protect the Battle Lord.
...
Elsewhere, Lin Hai, who was singing at a KTV, also ran into trouble.
A group of people burst through the door, shouting arrogantly:
"Which son of a bitch just hit my brother?"
"Who? Get your ass out here!"
"And where's that slut Qianqian hiding?"
Their voices, boisterous and extremely arrogant.
Upon hearing the commotion, Qianqian's face showed panic and fear.
Xiao Jiba frowned, wondering who was so audacious.
Scar and Bald were eager to try, ready to jump in and make a name for themselves in front of Brother Lin and Young Master Xiao.
Lin Hai squinted his eyes slightly; for some reason, he felt his heart jump suddenly, his mood turning irritable in an instant.
As if something or someone he cared deeply about was about to slip away.
The brash intruder swaggered in, donning a large leather coat, slicked-back hair, an open chest revealing dense hair and tattoos.
Behind him, a large group of his underlings filed in, bristling with energy, each holding a cleaver.
"Where's Qianqian? Come out!" the man bellowed at a group of hostesses.
Qianqian turned pale with fright, trembling, recognizing the man before her and fearing him deeply.
"If you don't come out, I'm gonna have you crippled!" he said with arrogance.
Qianqian's pretty face turned deathly pale as she tried to stand up shakily.
At that moment, Fan Jian grabbed her arm.
Qianqian looked at Fan Jian, tears brimming in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, you're safe. Don't thank me, though; I just can't stand to see you hurt by them," Fan Jian said, his voice as flat as if he were discussing an academic paper.
Yet for some reason, Qianqian felt an acute pain in her heart, coupled with immense gratitude towards Fan Jian and worry about the current situation.
"Eh? Fatty, you dare to hold Qianqian? Men, take him down for me."
The man immediately erupted in rage, pointing dismissively at Fan Jian in his security uniform.
Instantly, two underlings brandished their gleaming knives, advancing towards Fan Jian.
Xiao Jiba stood up right away; if he didn't make a stand in front of Brother Lin and Young Master Xiao now, when would he?
"Wait!" Xiao Jiba coldly eyed the two vicious-looking underlings and intervened.
"Who are you?" the man immediately flared up, seemingly irritated that someone dared to interfere.
"I'm Xiao Jiba!"
"Shit, I thought who it was—turns out it's Xiao Selang's son." The man recognized him but showed no sign of fear.
"Since you know it's me, why don't you get lost?" Xiao Jiba said, face cold and clearly displeased.
Since everyone on the streets of the worldly society knows his old man is the Police Bureau Chief, they'd generally show some respect; otherwise, the other party isn't someone to be trifled with.
But the other side didn't care at all, bursting into loud laughter, staring at Xiao Jiba: "Others may fear you, but I sure as hell don't. You know who I am?"
"What are you supposed to be? Daring to talk to me like that!" Xiao Jiba couldn't help but get angry.
"Heh, I am Li Taixui. Your old man might indeed dare to touch me, but he might not dare offend the person behind me."
It turns out, this man was none other than Li Taixui, one of the top five forces in Huadu City.
"The person behind you? Do tell." Xiao Jiba laughed angrily.
"The person behind me is Brother Hailing!" After saying this, Li Taixui seemed very proud of himself.
Xiao Jiba's face turned ugly.
Brother Hailing, also known as Yu Halin, is from the Yu Family, and he also has a brother, Yu Haijing, who's equally formidable in Huadu. However, outsiders don't know that Yu Haijing is now half-crippled and still struggling for life.
The Yu Family is on par with Yu Tianlin's side, or even slightly suppressing the force behind Yu Tianlin.
That's why Xiao Jiba's face became so grim.
When Lin Hai heard the name Yu Halin, he couldn't help but think of Yu Haijing.
A young man wearing glasses, standing behind Li Taixui and one of his several underlings, caught sight of Lin Hai in the dim light, his eyes suddenly brightening. He quickly walked to Li Taixui's side, pointed at Lin Hai, and said, "Big brother, it's this guy. He hit me on the public bus last time, and even when I dropped your name, he was disrespectful and rude."
Lin Hai took one look and recognized the glasses-wearing fellow. Wasn't he the same young man he encountered on the bus, the one who tried to steal the seat from an old lady?
And Lin Hai remembered that this guy seemed to enjoy self-harm, having burned a row of cigarette scars on his chest, two more than the dots on a monk's head.
Li Taixui immediately turned his gaze to Lin Hai. Seeing him in a security guard uniform, a flash of anger crossed his eyes as he pointed at Lin Hai and said, "Kid, stand up."
At this point, Xiao Jiba glanced at Scar Bald.
Scar immediately understood, picked up a beer bottle, and pointed at Li Taixui, "Do it. If you dare to point at Brother Lin, you're tired of living?"
"What are you? A Scar Bald, a gang leader of a few small venues, dares to be presumptuous in front of me?" Li Taixui looked disdainfully at Scar Bald and continued to stare at Lin Hai intently.
Lin Hai's phone received a text message from Judge: "Brother, Umbrella Emperor is on the attack, Battle Lord is critically injured, Po Jun's life hangs by a thread, in grave danger. Other members of Star Plate have been dispatched."
After reading this message, Lin Hai understood the source of the anxiety he had felt.
Umbrella Emperor? Came to Huadu?
And he dared hurt my woman!
With these thoughts, Lin Hai was no longer in the mood to watch the drama unfold. A quick battle, Battle Lord is waiting for him to save his life.
Lin Hai slowly stood up.
"Kid, you've got guts, actually daring to stand up," Li Taixui sneered with a cruel glint in his eyes.
"Li Taixui, right? A one-on-one or a group fight?" Lin Hai asked indifferently.
Xiao Jiba's eyes suddenly lit up. He was worried about being outnumbered, but here Brother Lin was willing to step in, ensuring that Li Taixui would soon understand why the flowers bloom so brilliantly.
Scar Bald had been hearing from his own Young Master Xiao about how formidable Lin Hai was recently and couldn't wait to see it.
Only Fan Jian was not aware of how formidable Lin Hai was, worried for him, and picked up a beer bottle to stand by Lin Hai's side.
"One-on-one? Group fight? Heh, what do you want?" Li Taixui sneered, thinking to himself, "Stupid security guard, later I'll chop you up so even your horse won't recognize you."
"Forget it, no need for you to choose." After saying that, Lin Hai walked straight up to Li Taixui.
Amidst the other party's disdain and sneer, he suddenly made his move.
...
A minute later, over a hundred of Li Taixui's underlings were sprawled on the ground, moaning in pain.
Li Taixui stood there stiff as a board, not moving, a trail of cold sweat slid down his forehead, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Everyone else was stunned, unable to believe what had happened.
