Chapter 644: Chapter 403: Live Broadcast (Part 2)
“Bang!!!”
The shocking music, the swaying men and women, the seductive and depraved world, shattered with a loud noise.
The door panel exploded, a figure flew out, and heavily smashed onto the floor in front of the dance floor, motionless like a lump of mud.
“What’s going on?”
Even with the deafening music and the noisy dance floor, such a big commotion still drew everyone’s attention. The staff at the bar turned on the lights and a few men looking like security guards came out to check the situation.
Then they saw a shadow coming in from the outside. Steady footsteps sounded, and everyone looked on in astonishment to see a burly man enter. His thick arms closed behind him, forcibly pulling down the iron shutter above the door, and then he took out a large lock from his bag and directly locked the exit.
“This…”
“What are you doing?”
“Who are you!”
At this sight, some were too scared to speak, while others shouted in anger and alarm.
Not surprising. Though the newcomer had an extraordinary build, shocking and even terrifying to behold, what era was this?
What use were big muscles?
Relying on to survive was…
“Ah!!!”
A scream pierced the eardrums.
“What the hell are you screaming for?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound to see a woman screaming shrilly, her face pale, shaking uncontrollably.
The screaming woman said nothing, only looking in terror at a certain spot, her face as white as death.
The crowd frowned and turned to look, only then noticing a person they had ignored, lying collapsed at the edge of the dance floor like a lump of mud, his chest completely caved in, a large amount of blood oozing out from underneath him, the pungent stench of blood even overpowering the smell of alcohol and perfume.
“Ah!!!”
“Murder, there’s been a murder!”
“Help, help!”
“Call the police, call the police!”
The scene immediately descended into chaos as men and women scrambled for cover, no longer daring to question the identity of the intruder.
Having a background is indeed crucial in the underworld, but sometimes, it’s about brute force!
Xu Yang carried his briefcase, paying no mind to the scrambling men and women on the dance floor, and walked toward the few security guards who had come to inspect the situation.
“!!!!!!!!”
The security guards turned pale and trembled at his approach, their electric batons quivering in their hands.
Even though the Federation formed and Blue Star successfully unified, the public security situation and deep-seated social problems were not resolved but intensified. Various civilian groups emerged everywhere, with some areas becoming lawless lands, controlled by gangs or even warlords, extremely chaotic and dangerous.
Regarding this, the Federation turned a blind eye, even adopting a tacit approval stance, allowing this development, which baffled many.
But baffling as it was, gangs and other civilian groups indeed became more numerous, and their competition fiercer. Even in a medium to lower tier city like Longhai, there were many powerful gangs fiercely vying for dominance.
As gang members and brotherhood underlings, they had seen it all, fought and killed.
But…
Looking at the towering figure over two meters tall, like a mighty mountain, and then at their companion lying limp on the ground, the boldness they normally exhibited in their fierce struggles vanished without a trace. Their legs turned to jelly, their strength dissipated.
But the man in question paid no heed to their feelings, striding forward, and in an instant, his thick arms swept like a wild dragon, creating a cutting wind, flinging them aside like rag dolls against the edge of the dance floor or booth seats, eliciting a chilling, crisp sound of breaking bones.
“Ah!!!”
The screams grew even more piercing as people ran around like headless flies.
Just then, rapid footsteps came from the staircase, with several gang members rushing down from the second floor.
Compared to the bouncers, these variously dressed gang members seemed more elite, holding knives that gleamed coldly, exuding a bravado born of many battles.
However…
“Bang!!!”
No sooner had they rushed down the stairs and assessed the situation than they were met with a powerful gust of wind and the sudden shadow of a figure leaping towards them like a cannonball, crashing into their midst.
Suddenly…
“Bang bang bang!”
The sounds of heavy impacts mixed with the crispness of snapping bones.
The unprepared men only felt a fist wind hitting them, bearing enormous pressure that scattered them all over the place, leaving them dizzy and disoriented, their vision soon stained crimson with blood.
From the perspective of an outside observer, it appeared that the bear-like giant man leapt into their midst like a tiger among sheep, moving at a speed that belied his size, in the narrow space of the staircase landing, knocking the newly arrived gang members flying like punching bags, with bones breaking and blood splattering everywhere.
Ferocious! Powerful!
In an instant, the men turned into human wrecks, lying on the ground, twitching, and then quickly losing all signs of life.
Xu Yang said nothing as he proceeded to the second floor.
“What’s happening?”
“Is it the Public Security Bureau?”
“There are no sirens or gunshots.”
“Is another company kicking up a fuss?”
“Quick, find Brother Ying!”
Upstairs was also in chaos as Zhang Qiang led a few of his underlings, hurrying upstairs.
However, as he reached the stairwell, he saw a shadow flying down from above, coming to a halt right in front of him—a young man with a cold expression and a sharp aura.
“Brother Ying!”
Zhang Qiang’s face changed, and just as he was about to speak, the well-known tough guy from the “company,” the not-to-be-messed-with two-red-stick enforcer, coldly brushed past him and walked towards the burly intruder who had just appeared at the other end of the corridor.
“Quick, help!”
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang had no choice but to steel himself and lead his few underlings to follow behind.
The man known as “Brother Ying” paid them no attention; he was focused on the giant who had stepped onto the second floor, coldly asking, “Who are you with, daring to cause trouble in my territory!”
The intruder disregarded him, simply continuing his approach, his hefty frame nearly blocking all paths and all hope in the corridor.
“!!”
The young man’s eyes became focused as he clenched his teeth and charged forward, soaring like a Great Peng spreading its wings, his hands shaped into claws, from which one could see the pure white aura of True Qi visible to the naked eye.
True Qi!
He was indeed a Martial Artist who had mastered True Qi.
A Martial Artist with True Qi could move swiftly, aiming to close the distance for close combat, and thus win by skill instead of brute force.
After all, with such a large frame, the opponent looked like a brute force type, whose moves must be broad and sweeping. In this narrow corridor, if he got entangled at close quarters, he would undoubtedly be clumsy, struggling both to defend and to attack.
The shorter one’s reach, the greater the risk, Eagle’s Claw…
“Huff!!”
Before his thoughts settled and a plan was formed, his vision blurred, and a piercing gust of wind rushed at his face.
Fast, unimaginably fast!
Strong, inconceivably strong!
With such power, such speed, all kinds of movements, all techniques, were utterly useless.
One punch, just one punch!
“Bang!!!”
A loud crash echoed in all directions as the man who had charged forward was sent flying back even faster, like a bullet shot from a cannon, blasting through the corridor over ten meters away and finally crashing against a thick wall, shaking the modest five-story building slightly.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Zhang Qiang lay on the ground, his face filled with astonishment as he looked ahead. A thin mist of blood drifted in the air, revealing a figure like a Demon God carrying a bag in one hand and throwing a punch with the other, his fist covered in vivid blood – but the blood was not his own, not at all.
One punch, just one punch!
Looking back, he saw at the end of the corridor, in the wall, a web-like, startling crack with a person embedded in the center, a figure drenched in blood, so smeared as to be unrecognizable.
Ying!
The company’s top enforcer, a man with the rank of Double Flower Red Stick.
Now, he had been punched by someone straight into the wall in just one confrontation, turned into a mangled mess.
This…!!!
Zhang Qiang’s pupils shrank, his heart raced, adrenaline pumping, giving him the strength for a moment to get up in a panic, stumbling past several of his underlings bowled over by the “human cannonball”, and scrambling toward the third floor.
Run, run, run!
Seeing Zhang Qiang fleeing, the newcomer finally moved, taking stride as if he were Death itself, closely following.
…
“Hello everyone, this is our new student at the Red Book Ballet Studio, please give her lots of support!”
On the third floor, inside a room, Hong was introducing a new girl on a live stream in front of the camera.
The girl was in costume, looking quite charming, and as soon as she appeared on the screen, the comment stream went wild.
“Wow, so tender!”
“Loli, loli, love it, love it!”
“Does this ballet studio hire teachers? The kind that doesn’t know ballet?”
“The shameless guy in front, get lost. Teacher, do you recruit male students?”
“Little sister, so cute, call me brother and I’ll send you a rocket straight away.”
“White silk loli, hehehe…”
As a mature live streaming platform, Red Book TV had cultivated a seasoned audience.
Watching the scrolling comments and the increasing gifts, Hong nodded to herself.
It seemed this new seedling was a not-too-shabby money tree…
“Bang!”
Before her thoughts could settle, the door suddenly burst open, and a man tumbled in.
It was Zhang Qiang!
“What’s going on?”
Hong stood up in shock and anger, her face a picture of astonishment looking at Zhang Qiang.
“Get out of the way!”
Zhang Qiang had no time to explain to her, and with a shove, he pushed her aside, then grabbed the confused girl, pulling her into his arms, with an object pressed against her cheek.
“What’s happening?”
“What’s going on?”
Seeing this, the live stream room was also taken aback, the comments flying crazily.
“Script?”
“What is this!”
“You bastards dare to touch my little sister?”
“Let go of her right now!”
“Wait, is that…”
“A gun?”
“!!”
Looking at Zhang Qiang holding a gun and taking the girl hostage, the live stream room plunged into complete chaos.
Just then…
“Step!”
The sound of steady footsteps resonated, and a shadow loomed ominously.
“!!!!”
Zhang Qiang’s gaze quivered, his face turned pale, pointing the gun forward in an attempt to intimidate, but soon switched back in terror, pressing it against the girl’s forehead, his quivering voice shouting, “Don’t come any closer, don’t come any closer!”
