Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Ryuzawa Kenichi
Yamai Ichirō let out a laugh and patted Zheng Zhiyi on the shoulder, reassuring him.
Hearing this, Zheng Zhiyi, who had been a bit worried, relaxed. He stood beside Yamai Ichirō, ready to watch Mukai Futaro give Chen Qingdi a brutal beating.
"So you’re the guy who offended Mr. Luo?"
Mukai Futaro asked Chen Qingdi, his face filled with arrogance.
"What, are you going to stand up for him?"
Chen Qingdi asked with a sneer.
"No, the guy had it coming. From the looks of him, he’s no good."
"But I’m paid to do a job. Since Mr. Yamai Ichirō wants me to teach you a lesson, prepare to die!"
Mukai Futaro threw a punch, filled with immense power.
Chen Qingdi, however, didn’t move an inch. He simply extended a finger.
The immense force of the punch dissipated in an instant.
Mukai Futaro felt as if his fist had struck solid stone; it was incredibly hard.
"So hard. You... you’re not an ordinary person?"
Mukai Futaro said to Chen Qingdi, astonished.
"When did I ever say I was an ordinary person?"
With a sneer, Chen Qingdi exerted pressure with his finger.
Mukai Futaro was instantly sent flying back dozens of meters.
If not for his solid stance, he would have been flung even farther.
Seeing Chen Qingdi’s incredible strength, the look in Mukai Futaro’s eyes turned serious, all his previous arrogance gone.
"To think you’re also a Practitioner. In that case, I won’t hold back anymore!"
Mukai Futaro laughed sinisterly as a powerful killing aura exploded from him.
"That’s more like it. It’s no fun if you don’t get serious."
The corners of Chen Qingdi’s mouth lifted into a smirk, his expression one of pure arrogance.
"Arrogant! We’ll see after you take this punch!"
Mukai Futaro threw a heavy punch at Chen Qingdi.
The punch howled with the force of a roaring tiger and a bellowing dragon.
As the force of the punch rushed toward him, Chen Qingdi simply extended a palm.
True Energy gathered in his palm, coalescing into the form of a real dragon that bore down on the incoming punch!
With a single palm strike, the force of Mukai Futaro’s punch was utterly shattered.
He froze in place, staring at Chen Qingdi in complete and utter disbelief.
"How is that possible? That technique was the fruit of twenty years of my training!"
"You broke it with just one palm? No! Impossible!"
Seeing his ultimate move so easily broken by Chen Qingdi, Mukai Futaro’s spirit shattered. He collapsed, plopping right onto the ground.
Having lost his will to fight, he was no more threatening than an ant in front of Chen Qingdi.
"What a coward. A little setback like this is enough to break you?"
"Useless trash. Scram!"
Chen Qingdi said coldly, kicking him away.
Kicked aside by Chen Qingdi, Mukai Futaro had lost all will to resist. He could only tremble as he stared at him.
"I was wrong! Please, spare me."
"I’ll never be so arrogant again!"
Terrified out of his wits by Chen Qingdi, Mukai Futaro knelt and kowtowed repeatedly.
When Yamai Ichirō saw this, he was furious. He threw a wad of cash, hitting Mukai Futaro in the face.
"Fucking useless trash! You can’t even handle one guy from the Dragon Country. You’re a disgrace to Japan!"
"Take the money and get the hell out!"
After Yamai Ichirō finished speaking, he clapped his hands and summoned the bodyguards he had hired.
"Mr. Yamauchi, what are your orders?"
The head bodyguard bowed to Yamai Ichirō and asked respectfully.
"Get him! Whoever kills him, I’ll reward them with one million!"
"If you can leave him half-dead, I’ll add another million!"
Hearing Yamai Ichirō’s offer, Zheng Zhiyi chimed in, adding another million to the pot!
A handsome reward makes for brave men.
For the sake of the millions on the table, the bodyguards looked at Chen Qingdi with faces full of greed.
In their eyes, Chen Qingdi was no longer a person. He was money.
Cold, hard cash.
’A million bucks!’
’Who would pass up a chance like this?’
"Brothers, get him!"
"If he dies, we’ll each get a million!"
At the captain’s command, the bodyguards behind him immediately raised their clubs and charged at Chen Qingdi.
Chen Qingdi, however, was unfazed. He stood his ground, watching them with a cold, indifferent expression.
"A bunch of idiots. You’re from the Dragon Country, and you actually believe a Japanese man will keep his word?"
Chen Qingdi sneered and struck out with his palm.
Before the bodyguards could even react, they were sent flying by Chen Qingdi’s palm strike.
In an instant, the area outside the hotel was filled with countless wails of pain.
The bodyguards were all lying miserably on the ground, writhing in pain.
"AAAAAH! My leg is broken!"
"Ah, my hand! My foot!"
Screams of agony filled the air.
Chen Qingdi didn’t even glance at them and walked directly up to Yamai Ichirō.
"Since when did someone from Japan dare to act so arrogantly in our Dragon Country?"
"You disrespected me just now. It’s time I returned the favor."
SLAP!
The sharp sound of a slap echoed through the air.
Chen Qingdi slapped him directly across the face.
Yamai Ichirō, on the receiving end of the slap, was utterly stunned.
’He was a famous entrepreneur from Japan, worth five hundred million! Countless people from the Dragon Country wanted to work with him, to grovel at his feet! Even the young master of the Luo Family treated him with the utmost respect. And now some guy from the Dragon Country dared to slap him in front of all these people?’
How could Yamai Ichirō tolerate this? He cursed at Chen Qingdi, "Baka yarou!"
Chen Qingdi had no patience for that. He punched him in the head. "Baka my ass. What the hell is that gibberish? I can’t understand a word you’re saying."
"Baka! You dare... hit me again?"
Yamai Ichirō clutched his head in pain, took a step back, and continued to curse at Chen Qingdi.
"The hell’s wrong with you? What are you even saying? Can’t you speak a proper language?"
Chen Qingdi kicked out, sending Yamai Ichirō flying to the hotel entrance.
"Eldest Young Master Luo, you’re really pathetic. A proud son of the Dragon Country, and you’re groveling at the feet of this little Japanese devil?"
"You deserve a beating too."
After dealing with Yamai Ichirō, Chen Qingdi came before Zheng Zhiyi and, without warning, slapped him.
SLAP!
Before Zheng Zhiyi could react, he was slapped across the face.
By the time he felt the pain, Chen Qingdi had already kicked him away.
"A bunch of useless freeloaders. Next time, don’t come out and embarrass yourselves."
"Otherwise, I’ll beat you every time I see you."
With that said, Chen Qingdi showed his invitation to the hostess at the door, then led Yi Xuesha inside.
After they entered, Chen Qingdi asked Yi Xuesha a question.
"The branch you mentioned, is this it?"
Yi Xuesha nodded and replied, "That’s right, Master. This is the branch of the Celestial Ninja Group."
"However, this branch is located within the underground fighting ring here. The branch leader is the true power behind this ring—Ryuzawa Kenichi."
