Free Web NovelChapter 97: Chapter 97: Even Holding a Gun Won’t Do _1
The situation had completely reversed, and everything returned to Ye Ming’s control. Even a late-stage Grandmaster had fallen at Ye Ming’s hands; who would dare to stand against him now? It would surely be a death wish.
Scarface was extremely excited inside, his body shaking uncontrollably. He also felt fortunate that at the critical moment, he didn’t betray Ye Ming and firmly stood by his side. He believed that Ye Ming would surely take note of his actions.
"Li Dazhuang, you think you’re the only one with a backup, that I don’t have a boss? Damn it, letting you feel smug for a moment, you don’t even know who you are!"
Scarface cursed in his heart, which was incredibly satisfying. At the same time, he began to look for Li Dazhuang’s figure.
"We’re screwed, Brother Ming, that brat Li Dazhuang has escaped!" Scarface searched around and couldn’t find Li Dazhuang, so he started to panic. freewebnσvel.cøm
Today’s situation was all because of that bastard Li Dazhuang, and Scarface couldn’t let him go.
After saying this, he immediately signaled his men to search the entire area. They were to dig three feet into the ground if needed to find Li Dazhuang.
Ye Ming said, unhurried, "What’s the big deal, why all the fuss? With such a small place, he definitely can’t escape."
"Mr. Ye is right, we’ll all look for him together, we mustn’t let Li Dazhuang escape!"
"That beast Li Dazhuang, I will make sure he dies today; otherwise, our Hai City will never have peace again!"
"Kill Li Dazhuang!"
Ye Ming’s words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples as everyone in attendance echoed them, surprisingly unified in their thoughts and intentions—to take Li Dazhuang down.
The underground forces of Hai City had always been at odds, and disputes were constant. Even the Xu Family, such a powerful clan, only played a leading role on the surface, just going through the motions while they fought each other in the shadows.
It had been a very long time since everyone had come together as one.
If it weren’t for seeing it with their own eyes, such a thing would be astonishing to speak of.
Xu Xincheng watched with wide eyes and although his face was expressionless, his heart was overtaken by shock as the structure of Hai City developed in a direction he couldn’t have imagined.
Ye Ming, an ordinary person he had completely looked down upon, had managed to grasp everyone’s hearts within a single day.
He could predict the future just by thinking with his toes; the underground forces of Hai City, bowing their heads to Ye Ming, no one daring to stand up against him.
Even, they would come to regard Ye Ming as their faith.
"The skies of Hai City have changed."
Xu Xincheng shook his head helplessly, "I never thought that something our Xu Family couldn’t do would be accomplished by him. Am I too shortsighted? Or is my sister’s vision too harsh?"
Li Yaozong wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but after opening his mouth, he swallowed the words back.
When he first met Ye Ming, his thoughts were no different from Xu Xincheng’s, considering Ye Ming as someone extremely ordinary.
Uniting the underground forces of Hai City was something not even Li Yaozong dared to dream of.
Yet, the scene before his eyes was continuously slapping his face, leaving him without any excuse for retort, and even his life, this old bone, had been saved by Ye Ming.
With that alone, Li Yaozong could never oppose Ye Ming in this lifetime. If Ye Ming requested something, Li Yaozong would agree without reason.
"Young Master Xu, if there’s anyone to blame, it’s only myself for my poor judgment, not seeing the heaven-defying abilities of this young man. The narrow-minded one is me."
Li Yaozong deliberately took the blame upon himself to ease Xu Xincheng’s mind a bit.
Xu Xincheng shook his head, "Let it be, he’s indeed very strong, far beyond our imagination, but for us xu family to acknowledge him, it still depends on his own fate. Father’s insight is even more sharp, let’s see if he can cope."
"Even if he wants to join our Xu Family, so what if he has dominated the entire Hai City? Our family has done that long ago, at most, he’s just an outstanding young man."
Xu Xincheng tried to use this reasoning to comfort his own heart because he had suffered a great blow from Ye Ming.
Both men were of similar age; Ye Ming managed to rise through his own abilities, standing at such lofty heights in Hai City, but what about Xu Xincheng? He was just a spoiled and indulgent scion, and if stripped of the Xu Family’s protection, he might not even match one ten-thousandth of Ye Ming.
A sudden loud noise disrupted Xu Xincheng’s thoughts, pulling him back to reality.
Based on judgment, that noise should have been a gunshot.
One of Scarface’s underlings didn’t even grunt before collapsing into a pool of blood, barely clinging to life.
The scene instantly fell into chaos, some with bolder spirits began looking around for the shooter, while those with less courage already hid behind covers, trembling.
After all, that was a real thing; getting shot could kill.
"Nobody f**king move, or I’ll blast you all!"
A loud shout came from not far away, and as everyone turned to look, Li Dazhuang somehow appeared in the ring.
He held a shiny black gun barrel, aiming it at Ye Ming.
"Li Dazhuang, what the hell are you doing? Put the gun down now, and you might be spared from death!" Scarface glared at Li Dazhuang, attempting to intervene with words.
Unfortunately, Li Dazhuang had already lost his reason by then and wouldn’t listen to Scarface’s advice.
His only support had fallen; he stood alone and unaided, with no option but to fight to the bitter end.
Even if he somehow escaped today, the days that followed would be an endless bounty of hunting and killing.
There would be no good life left to live.
"To the victor go the spoils, Ye Ming, I admit you’re tough, I can’t win against you."
"But now, you might not win either!"
Li Dazhuang ground his teeth and said, "You might be skilled in martial arts, but can you dodge a bullet? One shot from me, and you’re definitely dead. Don’t worry, we’ll go one after the other, we can continue our chat on the road to the underworld."
He tried to see a trace of fear in Ye Ming’s eyes, however, Ye Ming disappointed him.
Even with the gunpoint on him, Ye Ming still stood unmoved, calmly on the spot, his face etched with an indifferent expression.
That expression greatly angered Li Dazhuang; he couldn’t understand why—how many times faced with life-threatening dangers, why was Ye Ming not afraid?
Was he really not afraid of death?
Ye Ming responded to him with a very calm demeanor, saying, "Li Dazhuang, being willfully ignorant won’t end well, and besides, I bet you don’t dare to shoot!"
"Put down the gun, and we can still talk nicely, sparing your life is not impossible, but if you insist on doing this, there’s only a dead end for you."
