Chapter 800: Chapter 797: Seeking Vengeance at the Door
But despite what was said, who would have thought that a master with such skills would behave like a model citizen and take the thieves straight to the police station?!
Unable to fight or flee, the two were in a panic yet helpless!
It wasn’t that they were afraid they wouldn’t get out once taken in, but once they were sent to the police, their years of carefully maintained reputation would instantly collapse.
With this thought, the man in black struggled and said, "Do you know that cutting off someone’s financial path is like killing their parents? Isn’t it too much to act without leaving any leeway for future encounters?!"
Xiao Tian was taken aback, not expecting such lowlife to brazenly speak of principles, and then said with some amusement, "And you, who live by stealing others’ money, have the nerve to talk about cutting off someone’s financial path?"
After speaking, he directly pulled out his police badge: "I am a police officer. Consider yourselves really lucky today."
The two of them turned pale, secretly regretting not checking the almanac before going out as they usually did.
"Alright, we brothers admit defeat!"
After speaking, the two looked at each other with lowered heads, then simultaneously sprang up. In the moonlight, a glint of cold light appeared in their hands, one aimed for Xiao Tian’s heart, the other for his throat.
Xiao Tian shook his head slightly disappointed, and said blandly, "You still aren’t clever enough."
"Clang! Clang!"
Two crisp sounds of metal clashing echoed. The two men in black felt as if they were stabbing into an iron plate, their hands faintly aching, and they opened their eyes wide in disbelief, unable to believe that Xiao Tian could withstand metal blades with his bare body.
Then, a series of screams echoed under the night sky...
...
Early the next morning, Xiao Tian nonchalantly appeared downstairs at the small shop and casually said, "A steamer of buns and a bowl of soy milk!"
The shopkeeper called to the backyard, "Xiaoshengzi, a steamer of buns and a bowl of soy milk."
Then, he smiled and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Xiao Tian carefully observed the shopkeeper’s eyes and facial expressions, confirming he was truly unaware of last night’s events, and replied, "Not bad!"
Just as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps broke out, followed by a commotion outside.
A moment later, a tall and a short man were carried into the small shop, startling the shopkeeper who hurriedly inquired, "What’s going on with you two?"
Before finishing, the tall man pushed him aside and angrily said, "None of your business, we’re looking for that guy." He pointed at Xiao Tian, who was waiting for his food.
In fact, Xiao Tian recognized them as the two thieves sent to the police station the night before as soon as he saw them. It was just strange that they dared to come knocking.
"Kid, you ruined our impeccable reputation and injured us. You must pay back double today!" said the tall, skinny man with a vicious face.
Xiao Tian feigned confusion and said, "Pay back double, do you mean you feel you weren’t hurt enough, and you want me to take your whole arms and legs off?"
"Don’t waste words with him. Wait till Master Lv arrives, see how arrogant he still is," said the shorter man, gritting his teeth and enduring the severe pain in his limbs.
As he spoke, the crowd outside parted like a great wave split down the middle, spontaneously moving aside as if witnessing the arrival of a big shot.
Xiao Tian couldn’t help but look and saw a man in a suit and sunglasses walking over, accompanied by two subordinates, exuding an aura of leadership.
In addition, a large group dressed similarly kept arriving behind him, standing on both sides to clear the way.
To the uninitiated, it might have seemed like some influential person was arriving. However, Xiao Tian felt the man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
The two on the stretcher showed a glimmer of delight in their eyes, feeling emboldened now that the person they spent a fortune hiring had arrived. They began to taunt Xiao Tian even more.
Xiao Tian found it odd, wondering why they seemed out of their minds to bring such an overtly aggressive person in broad daylight—were they joking?
Yet, when the man in sunglasses entered the room, he barely glanced at the two on the stretcher and gruffly asked, "Where’s the person you mentioned? Hurry up, my time is limited."
"Yes, yes, Master Lv is very busy. He’s the person we were talking about!"
As the people at the table scattered and fled, Master Lv followed the direction the two indicated, quickly spotting Xiao Tian with a calm demeanor.
As if startled, Master Lv hurriedly removed his sunglasses and, after a few confirmations, approached Xiao Tian with a fawning smile, "So it’s you!"
It’s no wonder he was intimidated; Ji Dantong’s skill in taking down more than a dozen men in seconds was still vivid in his memory, and seeing Xiao Tian now quelled any arrogance he might have had.
To Master Lv, someone who could gain Ji Dantong’s respect must possess even greater strength.
Xiao Tian finally remembered who this man was. He was the one with the sunglasses who went to the little girl’s house to collect debts that day.
Seeing this, Xiao Tian casually asked, "I heard someone paid off the gambling debt later. Is that right?"
Master Lv quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, we’ve already destroyed the IOUs. No one owes anyone anything anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian said no more, while the two on the stretcher looked at him in astonishment, unable to believe that the usually domineering Master Lv was being so polite to this man.
"Master Lv, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Lv slapped him heavily, "Shut up!"
After a shout of anger, Master Lv grabbed the tall, skinny man by the collar, half-lifting him from the stretcher, and whispered furiously, "If you want to get me killed, just say it. If anything happens to me this time, you two can both drop dead!"
Once put down, the tall, skinny man felt his mind go blank. Wasn’t Master Lv said to be a top master? Why was he acting so scared?
Especially that last sentence, which nearly frightened him into fainting. No matter what, this time it seemed he had offended this local big shot.
As for the shopkeeper, he had long since hidden under the counter from the very beginning, his plump face full of distress.
It really was a case of misfortune arriving uninvited. Who would have thought that just running a shop could encounter such unlucky matters?
Thinking about the potential losses this time, almost losing all the hard-earned money from this period, made the penny-pinching shopkeeper feel dizzy with regret.
It seemed that the only solution would be to squeeze some money out of Xiaoshengzi somehow.
However, after waiting for a long time without hearing any crashing sounds, the shopkeeper curiously removed his hands from his ears and cautiously poked his head out from the counter...
