Chapter 24: The Apex of Striking

something was missing from the movie."But I still want to replace that guy who thinks he can dive on land. He’s nuts and I won’t act in a movie with him," Liu Meng was clearly unhappy with Lu Qian; t...Chapter 1: Big and Small Beauties

"Zhao Zheng, don't misunderstand..." Lei Qiaoyue hurriedly explained.

"I saw it with my own eyes, what else is there to misunderstand" The boy called Zhao Zheng seemed very angry. "You've been answering phone calls all day without me knowing; I felt something was off a long time ago. Now that you’ve been caught red-handed, how could you still tell me you split up with your ex-boyfriend!"

Zhao Zheng became increasingly furious as he spoke and suddenly pushed Lei Qiaoyue aside to rush at Xia Tian: "So you're Lei Qiaoyue's ex"

"Damn, this woman really has been playing us," Wang Jie couldn't help but sigh. Was it now fashionable for girls to date multiple guys Previously his girlfriend Zhang Li had secretly dated Su Ziqiang behind his back, and now it seemed that Lei Qiaoyue was also dating someone else while in a relationship with Lu Gang.

Xia Tian frowned; this guy reeked of alcohol; he must have drunk too much.

"Zhao Zheng, you've misunderstood. He's just the flower delivery boy," Lei Qiaoyue quickly intervened to explain.

"Flower delivery" Zhao Zheng was taken aback for a moment but then angrily shouted again, "Damn it, who gave me flowers I didn't order any! What’s with you delivering them"

"Hey, are you crazy or something" Wang Jie said irritably from the side. "If someone orders flowers, we deliver them. If you have a problem, go complain to the person who ordered the flowers instead of yelling at us."

"You dare to talk back to me" Zhao Zheng was enraged.

"What if I do!" Wang Jie wasn't usually so bold but with Xia Tian standing next to him, he had nothing to fear. He knew from his own eyes that Xia Tian’s fighting skills were formidable; he wouldn’t believe he would be at a disadvantage.

"Fine, you've got some guts!" Zhao Zheng glared fiercely at Wang Jie, "If you really have guts, wait here for a minute then!"

After saying this, Zhao Zheng immediately rushed inside.

"I'll wait if I must, and I'm not afraid of it!" Wang Jie was quite irritated, "Isn't it just about delivering some flowers What did we do to offend them"

Xia Tian also felt innocent; what had this got to do with him If he were the one sending flowers, there's no way he would send them to Lei Qiao Yue. Even though she was somewhat good-looking, she fell far short of his standards.

"There are really so many mentally ill people nowadays!" Xia Tian felt that Zhao Zheng must be a mental patient; yesterday, he met Huang Anping who was another mental patient and today he encountered yet another one. There were simply too many of them. He thought to himself that if he specialized in treating the mentally ill, he could make quite a bit of money.

Just as he was feeling this way, a group of people had already charged out from the nightclub, each holding a steel pipe and looking very menacing.

"Beat them up hard!" Zhao Zheng pointed at Xia Tian and Wang Jie, "But don't kill anyone!"

Wang Jie felt an intense chill in his heart. Instinctively, he stepped back several steps to hide behind Xia Tian. It was joking aside; even if any one of these people came alone, he wouldn’t be able to win against them, let alone a group of over ten! At this moment, he could only count on his newly recognized big brother to display his might again.

The crowd instantly rushed in front of Xia Tian, raising their steel pipes high up. But when they suddenly saw who it was, the steel pipes that were held aloft never came down.

"B-Big Brother Is it really you" The person at the forefront spoke with a trembling voice, secretly cursing his bad luck for running into this freak again!

"Do I know you" Xia Tian was somewhat puzzled; who was this guy

"Big Brother, don't you remember Yesterday we were with Bro Leopard..." This guy forced a smile but felt somewhat depressed inside. It turned out that this grandpa beat them up yesterday but didn't even remember what they looked like.

"Oh, it's you guys." Xia Tian curled her lips. "Were you holding steel pipes to hit me"

"No, of course not. How dare we" This guy quickly put away the pipe and smiled ingratiatingly. "Big Brother, are you here to sing I'll go get you the best private room right now."

“Black Three, what are you doing Why haven't you started yet” Zhao Zheng was already yelling.

"Uh, Young Master Zhao, you seem a bit drunk. You should come inside and rest for a while first!" Black Three said with a bitter expression. What mess was this kid creating He certainly didn’t want to get beaten up again.

“Slap!” With the back of his hand, Zhao Zheng slapped Black Three across the face. "I told you to beat someone up and you’re pretending you're deaf Do you still want to work"

Black Three was instantly stunned; he then became extremely angry: Damn it! This little bastard actually dared hit him!

"Brother Three, should we deal with him" Someone behind Black Three asked in a low voice. He glared at Zhao Zheng and only waited for Black Three's order to swing the steel pipe down on Zhao Zheng.

On the surface, this Prosperous Song Dynasty KTV belonged to Zhao Zheng’s father; however, these people were merely hired by Zhao Zheng’s dad to guard the place. Therefore, it was natural that Zhao Zheng could freely command them around without question. However, what he didn’t know was that the real boss of Prosperous Song Dynasty KTV was Ding Bao, while his own father was just working for Ding Bao. As a result, Black Three’s status surpassed Zhao Zheng's dad in Ding Bao’s eyes. Now that Zhao Zheng actually dared to slap Black Three around, these people naturally couldn’t bear it.

“Forget it! Let’s put up with it!” Black Three glanced at Xia Tian and decided not to cause a scene for now; he thought it was the most important thing right now to send this god away first. He certainly didn't want Xia Tian to get angry and smash everything in the KTV, which would make it hard for him to explain to Bro Leopard.

"If you have anything urgent, Big Brother, I can have my brothers take you back," Black Three said respectfully as he looked at Xia Tian. He thought that if they sent Xia Tian away first, then they could slowly settle accounts with this kid later on.

"No, we'll go back on our own." Seeing that Hei San was being so polite to him, Xia Tian didn't want to cause any trouble for him. After greeting Wang Jie, the two turned and left.

Unfortunately, there were people destined to get beaten tonight. Just as Zhao Zheng bellowed out again: "You two stop right there!"

No one knew if Zhao Zheng was drunk or possessed; he simply couldn't bear Xia Tian's presence anymore. After his shout, he grabbed a steel pipe from someone nearby and charged at Xia Tian.

"Thud!" The steel pipe made contact with a head.

A muffled groan echoed as Zhao Zheng fell to the ground. Hei San had hit him on the head with the steel pipe that he himself had taken from someone earlier. Hei San, who had been waiting for an opportunity to teach Zhao Zheng a lesson later, finally lost his patience and knocked him out.

"Take him inside!" With a wave of Hei San's hand, two men immediately dragged Zhao Zheng into the karaoke room.

"Brother, everything is fine. Take your time," said Hei San with another ingratiating smile at Xia Tian.

The two women in qipaos who had been standing at the entrance all along still couldn't figure out what was going on. Their third brother wasn’t supposed to come out and fight for Little Boss Why did he end up knocking him unconscious

"Brother, you're amazing! You can beat someone without even lifting a finger!" Wang Jie admired Xia Tian even more. It seemed there were different levels of fighting; the lowest level was doing it yourself, the next higher one was issuing commands without physical action, and the highest level was where others acted on your behalf without any instructions from you. The current situation was an example of this topmost level.

Xia Tian curled his lip; he preferred to handle things himself as that was more fun.

"Husband, it's ringing... husband, it's ringing..." The unexpected ringtone suddenly sounded, and Xia Tian stood there dumbfounded before realizing it was his phone.

He took out the apple from his pocket and checked it, only to find that Xinxin Sun was calling.

"Summer, did you receive the flowers" Xinxin Sun asked as soon as he answered the call.

"Just received them," Summer replied truthfully.

"Oh, good. You haven't had dinner yet, have you Come back quickly, I've finished cooking for you," and with that, Xinxin hung up.

Summer indeed hadn't eaten dinner yet; however, he originally planned to go to Qiao Xiaoqiao's place. But since Xinxin said so, he felt it was better to head over to hers instead. He didn’t want to disappoint the beauty.

...

Half an hour later, Summer looked at the dark alley in front of him and felt rather frustrated; he had gotten lost.

After leaving Shengshi Ge Chao, he took a bus back to Xinxin Sun's place. Wang Jie originally wanted to follow him for a free meal but was chased away by Summer. Ms. Xin is mine, how could I let her cook for Wang Jie

The consequence of chasing Wang Jie away was that Summer accidentally got off the bus at the wrong stop and had trouble figuring out directions when he tried to walk back. After asking someone for directions, they pointed him in a direction that led him into this deserted alley with no street lamps.

The alley was desolate, making it impossible to find anyone to ask for directions again. With no choice, Summer could only continue walking forward, planning to find his way out of the alley and then inquire about directions from someone else.

A shadow suddenly darted out from ahead, blocking Summer's path. A knife flashed a cold light in the darkness, along with an even colder voice saying: "Robbery! Hand over your wallet and phone!"

Robbery

This summer really wants to find a mirror to look at himself; does he have the kind of face that invites bullying Or why would people want to beat him up after he gave someone flowers, and now that he's lost, someone wants to rob him

"Hurry up! What are you waiting for" The man thrust his dagger forward. "Do you believe I'll stab you"

"No." Summer was a bit annoyed; what kind of nonsense is this Threatening him like that.

The robber was taken aback; he hadn't expected such a skinny guy to dare say something like that.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin, huh" The robber sneered cruelly. "Then let me show you some blood!"

The robber took a step forward and lunged with his dagger.

"Stop!" A sharp voice suddenly rang out from behind Summer; in this cold, dark alley, the shout sounded unusually loud.

With that cry, a girl dashed over to Summer and kicked the robber's hand, sending the knife clattering to the ground. Then she spun around and delivered another kick straight to his chest.

The robber cried out in pain as he was sent reeling back several steps before falling to the ground with a thud.d final confirmation," Yixiaoyin said after some thought."Then, Miss, what should we do now Do we really have to pay Jiang Dali one million" Jiujiu was somewhat anxious.Yixiaoyin shook her head: "Of c...
