Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1155: Chapter 1154: The Envoy

"Remember this: next time, don’t draw your gun so casually. A gun not only intimidates others, but it can also harm oneself!" Jiang Cheng said indifferently, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

Then with a wave of his hand, he slapped the guard, sending him flying away.

The other guards looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.

They were all trained warriors, yet they couldn’t fathom how this man suddenly appeared beside them or how he managed to snatch the gun from their companion effortlessly. Even though these events unfolded right before their eyes, they failed to see it clearly.

This could only mean one thing: this man’s movements were incredibly fast.

Jiang Cheng said to Ba Lvluo, "Alright, continue."

After saying this, he stepped aside as if the earlier events had nothing to do with him.

With her teacher’s support, Ba Lv became even more fearless.

She once again turned to the Governor’s lover and said, "You must apologize for insulting me just now."

The Lord Governor fell into contemplation, equally shocked by Jiang Cheng’s earlier display of skill.

As someone who had practiced martial arts for years, he was confident in his abilities.

For instance, none of the guards standing beside him were his match. However, to approach him discreetly like that man, or snatch away a gun from his hand, he felt he couldn’t achieve such a feat.

Moreover, though he was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that this man was beyond his ability to handle.

For a moment, the Lord Governor remained silent, but his reckless lover spoke up first, "Don’t get your hopes up! Expecting me to apologize, you’d be better off killing me!"

Ba Lv coldly responded, "Killing you is unnecessary, but if you don’t apologize, I’ll just punish you in another way."

"You think you can? Bah!" The Governor’s lover arrogantly retorted to Ba Lv.

Her arrogance was well-founded; this was the planet Bordeaux, where the man next to her wielded significant power, and no matter what happened, the Lord Governor wouldn’t abandon her.

Ba Lv didn’t say a word. Just as she took a step forward, the Lord Governor began to intervene, "What are you trying to do!?"

Before he finished speaking, the man who moved like a ghost appeared beside him again. Just as the Lord Governor was stunned, his hand was grasped by that man.

"Let women handle their own issues. Why are you, a man, getting involved? Come on, let’s step aside." The man said while pulling the Governor with him.

Naturally, the Lord Governor had no intention of leaving.

The man before him was trying to pull him away, and this was a form of coercion. No one had ever forced him into anything since childhood, let alone now. Knowing that if he were pulled away, his lover would have to face the fierce woman alone, he refused to leave. The outcome was obvious—his lover would suffer, and how could he allow that?

The Lord Governor tried with all his might to pull Jiang Cheng back, but Jiang Cheng held firm and even pulled him along instead.

Panicking, the Governor raised his free hand and swung it toward Jiang Cheng’s face.

In the Governor’s mind, "If my strength isn’t enough, then let’s compete in skills."

Ba Lv was demanding the Governor’s lover apologize, but as the only daughter of a wealthy family, she was accustomed to being overbearing. How could she lower herself to apologize to a commoner?

Moreover, she was the Governor’s lover, high above in her mind, while the girl in front of her was nothing more than a lowly commoner.

So instead of apologizing, she relied on the Governor’s protection to provoke Ba Lv.

This unreasonable and uncultured woman made Ba Lv intolerable. She thought of herself as wealthy and powerful, trying to coerce, and when unsuccessful, resorting to insults—a woman like this living was an embarrassment.

Even if this woman bore no relation to her, upon witnessing such behavior, Ba Lv would intervene. Especially since she had insulted her directly.

The call for an apology was Ba Lv’s way of advocating that women shouldn’t make things difficult for each other, but this woman indeed didn’t appreciate kindness, so there was no need for lenience.

As her lover, the Lord Governor certainly wouldn’t stand idly by while Ba Lv dealt with his lover.

Therefore, as Ba Lv approached his lover, the Lord Governor promptly blocked Ba Lv.

Unexpectedly, the elusive man once again appeared by his side, pulling him away.

Being pulled around like this—how could the esteemed Governor endure? Especially since, if he were pulled away, he couldn’t protect his lover.

Knowing he wasn’t as strong as Jiang Cheng, the Governor punched towards Jiang Cheng.

This move by the Governor was not lacking in speed; having practiced martial arts for years, he was considered an exceptional combatant among ordinary people.

With his status, the Lord Governor could freely access special forces teams, and those warriors and instructors served as excellent opponents for his practical combat training.

Moreover, as a man of power and influence, he could hire the finest instructors to teach him combat skills.

In such an environment, the Lord Governor indeed wielded considerable prowess in combat.

This is also why he planned to participate in a combat tournament this time.

He hoped to achieve good results in this competition to prove to others that he was not just someone with a prestigious status but also someone of substance.

The Governor’s punch halted midway.

It wasn’t that he had a sudden realization, but the intense pain from the hand Jiang Cheng grasped drained his strength.

That searing pain practically bore into his bones, causing him to cry out.

"Can a servant not help when the master is in trouble?

Knowing they weren’t a match for this extraterrestrial man, the remaining three guards, bound by duty, could only muster their efforts.

The three of them charged at Jiang Cheng together.

These three were the elite among the special forces, which is why the Governor handpicked them as his personal guards.

With all three attacking at once, they knew they couldn’t take on this man in a one-on-one fight. So they planned to use their numerical advantage to bring him down, or at the very least, force him to release the Governor.

With one hand still holding the Governor, Jiang Cheng remained unfazed by the imminent attack from the three guards.

In a flash, he kicked them, each strike landing on their bodies, so fast that it seemed he barely moved.

The guards were sent flying like kites with broken strings by Jiang Cheng.

Having repelled four people in succession, Jiang Cheng still appeared at ease. While dragging the Governor, he lectured him, "Your people insulted my student without reason. Her demand for an apology is only fair and right. Why do you stand in the way?"

At this moment, the poor Lord Governor couldn’t even speak. He felt his hand crushed under a weight of a thousand pounds, almost hearing the creaking of his fingers. He wished he could faint right now, so he wouldn’t have to endure such excruciating pain.
