Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 518: Chapter 518: There is a Big Backer

The Iron Ball was swung back by Lu Jingyun with a cane, and the rebound force was like a mountain pressing down, making Xu Xiangbei’s wrist numb, almost unable to hold onto the thread attached to the Iron Ball.

Lu Jingyun’s cane was not only a flexible stick but also a sharp sword. Lu Jingyun, like an archer, struck out with his cane like lightning over a dozen times, each strike fierce and powerful. freewёbnoνel.com

Clang! Clang! Xu Xiangbei defended against more than a dozen strikes, yet the sharp sword tip actually dented the refined steel Iron Ball. This showed how astounding the power of those strikes was, and how precise each one was.

The best defense is a good offense. If intimidated by Lu Jingyun’s momentum and constantly in retreat, it might be that one of his strikes would hit a vital point.

Xu Xiangbei pulled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, directly opposing Lu Jingyun, went on the offensive, and the four Iron Galls flew out like cannonballs, one after another.

Chen Baishan, watching from the side, was dumbfounded. He didn’t expect Xu Xiangbei to manipulate four Iron Balls like Ouyang Yude, but much more powerful than Ouyang Yude.

The four Iron Balls spun so fast, that as soon as one was released, the other three followed immediately. To others, the four Iron Balls flashed with a cold light, seemingly forming a silver wheel, rolling towards Lu Jingyun.

At first, Lu Jingyun was on equal footing with Xu Xiangbei, but with the increasing frequency of attacks from the four Iron Balls, coming from all directions and not following the normal laws of physics, sometimes suddenly changing direction, and with the Iron Balls colliding with each other and changing their attack paths, it was impossible to defend against.

Bang! Bang! Lu Jingyun was continuously hit by the Iron Balls on the shoulder, thigh, and even his head. If he were an ordinary master, he might already have fallen. However, Lu Jingyun clearly had strong Inner Strength protecting him, making him unbearably painful, but not losing his fighting ability, still brandishing his cane to battle Xu Xiangbei.

Boom! Lu Jingyun was hit by two Iron Balls on his left shoulder and left leg, the pain making him step back several paces, his body trembling, nearly falling, barely able to stand using the cane for support.

Lu Hong, watching the fight, showed an anxious face. He knew his uncle was already at the end of his strength. He pulled out a pistol, strode over, and coldly shouted, "Stop! I know you can fight, but no matter how well you fight, can you be faster than a bullet?"

Seeing Lu Hong pointing a gun at Xu Xiangbei, Ah Rong also pulled out a pistol from his jacket and aimed at Lu Hong, "Shameless, can’t beat us, so you resort to guns. I advise you to drop the gun, otherwise, before you pull the trigger, my bullet will have already shattered your brainstem, making you unable to pull the trigger."

Ah Rong was not just making threats; she was a professional soldier and sniper, knowing which part of the brain to hit with a bullet to instantly make someone lose control of their body.

A few other strong men also pulled out pistols, aiming at Ah Rong. Ah Rong sneered, moved closer to Lu Jingyun, and subtly moved a hand in her pocket, "Planning to bully the few with many people, I’ve anticipated this. I have five grenades in my pocket, enough to blow up your boss. At worst, we’ll all go down together."

The atmosphere on the deck immediately became tense; any slight movement could lead to a scene of carnage.

Suddenly, a deafening engine sound came from the sky, a helicopter slowly flew in, and stopped on the deck’s helipad.

No one knew where the helicopter came from, and even Lu Jingyun looked baffled.

The helicopter’s door slowly opened, and a silver-haired foreigner stepped out. Xu Xiangbei smiled, recognizing him as the long-unseen Mr. Thomas.

But with Lu Hong pointing a gun at him, he could only nod to greet Mr. Thomas.

Not only did Xu Xiangbei recognize Mr. Thomas, but Lu Jingyun also smiled broadly, opened his arms, and warmly embraced Mr. Thomas, "Mr. Thomas, what wind brings you here?"

Many on the deck were nervously holding up their guns, tensions high, but Thomas acted as if he hadn’t seen it. He took off his sunglasses, calmly walked to the round table, and poured himself a glass of champagne.

He smiled at Lu Jingyun, "Mr. Calia sent me, he isn’t well and couldn’t come. I happened to be in Japan for a meeting, so I came over."

Upon hearing Thomas mention Mr. Calia’s name, Lu Jingyun’s expression became serious and respectful, faintly smiling, "Last time he came to Earth Sea, I didn’t meet him. I’ve always wanted to invite him to eat our Earth Sea’s steamed crab dumplings."

Thomas gently patted Lu Jingyun’s arm, like old friends, "Dr. Xu Xiangbei saved Mr. Calia’s life. He said his life was given by Xu Xiangbei. If you want to treat Mr. Calia to dumplings, treating Xu Xiangbei is the same."

Lu Jingyun’s face turned grim. He clearly understood the implication in Thomas’s words, secretly resenting that Xu Xiangbei had found such a powerful backer as Mr. Calia.

He waved to Lu Hong, "You all go down."

Lu Hong looked at Lu Jingyun in shock, not believing his ears. Already in international waters, just a trigger pull could eliminate Xu Xiangbei, and at the critical moment, Lu Jingyun ordered to stop.

Lu Jingyun suddenly stomped his cane, angrily shouting at Lu Hong, "Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me? Do I need to say it again?"

Lu Hong, frightened, turned pale, hastily put away his pistol, and led the security away from the deck. He told a servant to clean up the deck and set up tables and chairs again.

Xu Xiangbei and Thomas smiled and hugged, "Mr. Thomas, it’s been a long time."

"Hello, Dr. Xu."

"Let’s sit down and have a couple of drinks."

With the security gone and no longer a threat, Ah Rong also breathed a sigh of relief and came to Xu Xiangbei’s side, "The crisis is resolved, for now they won’t make any moves against us." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Xu Xiangbei gently tapped Ah Rong’s pocket, feeling the hard objects inside, as if there were several grenades.

Xu Xiangbei, with a grateful look, said to Ah Rong, "Thank you, I didn’t expect you’d risk your life for me, keep those grenades safely."

Ah Rong grinned at Xu Xiangbei and took out two cans of cola from her pocket, "I was just scaring them. This is the cola I took from downstairs, I left the grenades in the car."

Xu Xiangbei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, not knowing what to say to Ah Rong. He could only shrug, "Well, let’s go downstairs and have a drink, with the vast sea around us, we can’t get off the ship, so let’s just stay on the ship."

After having a couple of glasses of champagne with Thomas, Xu Xiangbei curiously asked, "How did Mr. Calia know I was in danger here with Lu Jingyun, and send you to help me?"
