Chapter 2513: Chapter 2515: Picking a Fight on Purpose!
Xiao Chen strolled out alone.
Swaggering like he owned the damn place.
Like he couldn’t wait for everyone to target him.
Li Junyao called Xiao Chen over to help.
Xiao Chen turned her down.
He had more important things to do.
Li Junyao was so mad she could explode.
"If people didn’t know better, they’d think you’re the real big Boss."
Xiao Chen couldn’t be bothered to deal with Li Junyao.
He walked straight toward Shang Feiyue’s room.
As the group’s president, of course Shang Feiyue was here too.
The little girl actually liked to have fun.
Even though she had a lot on her shoulders.
She hadn’t forgotten how to be a kid.
"This guy, don’t tell me he’s going to suck up to President Shang again?"
Seeing this, Li Junyao could only sigh at his lack of backbone.
But thinking about it, Xiao Chen had come in through the back door in the first place.
He’d tasted the sweetness; wanting to climb up by buttering up his superiors was the most normal thing ever.
Still, Li Junyao felt very annoyed.
When Xiao Chen came back out, she laid into him fiercely.
She felt Xiao Chen wasn’t walking the right path.
"Just do your job properly, that’s better than anything.
You’re obviously capable, so why are you letting yourself go like this?
You weren’t like this before.
Don’t forget you used to be the War God King."
The long string of lecturing had Xiao Chen digging at his ears.
He’d just not seen Shang Feiyue for a while.
He’d gone over to chat, that’s all.
How did it turn into all this?
"You done? If you’re done, can I go rest now?"
Xiao Chen thought to himself, once the anniversary celebration was over, he could reveal his real identity.
Then he wouldn’t have to put up with this woman’s crap anymore.
Even though he knew she meant well.
She just wasn’t hitting the point.
Li Junyao was about to say more.
When suddenly someone ran in from outside in panic: "Trouble, trouble, big trouble!"
"What happened?"
Li Junyao asked.
"President Li, good thing you’re here. We’ve been prepping stuff for the anniversary, and some things can’t be bought in the resort.
So we went outside to buy them.
Then we got grabbed by a bunch of guys, they even barged in here.
They insist we stole something and want us to pay up.
Our people got beaten badly."
The man explained.
"Is it Black Beard?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"I–I don’t know, but those guys’ clothes really did have a pirate flag logo on them."
The employee said.
"I haven’t even had time to act as bait and they’re already here making trouble.
Looks like...
Black Beard took someone’s money.
But how does he dare break into the resort?"
Xiao Chen looked at the resort staff and asked, "Didn’t you say it was very safe in here?"
"I don’t know either. That bastard Black Beard takes money from our resort, he usually doesn’t come here to cause trouble.
No idea what’s going on this time.
You’re on your own.
No one can keep Black Beard in check."
The resort people were helpless too.
Normally they had to pay Black Beard to keep the peace.
To keep some business alive.
"Let’s go take a look."
Xiao Chen was a bit excited.
He’d just arrived on Southern Island and already someone came to entertain him—interesting.
The resort manager, along with Xiao Chen, Li Junyao and the others, all rushed to the scene.
They saw several employees hanging from a tree.
Their bodies covered in whip marks.
And there were people still hitting them.
Next to them sat a man, fat as a hog.
With a huge bushy black beard.
He looked vicious as hell.
There were also dozens of pirates around.
Every one of them a fighter.
In front of them, ordinary people...
Really didn’t stand a chance.
The fat man glanced at Li Junyao and his eyes instantly cooled and sharpened.
Li Junyao had dressed up specially, and her clothes were very revealing.
Forget Black Beard, any man seeing her would be drooling.
Black Beard was a notorious lecher, so he was even worse.
"Captain Black Beard, you can’t do this.
Our resort pays you so much every month.
All we want is for you to let us do business in peace.
So why are you here?"
The resort manager was a bit angry, but didn’t dare speak too harshly.
He was afraid Black Beard would suddenly blow up and smash the resort.
Black Beard took a swig of booze, then pointed at the people hanging from the tree: "These bastards went outside to buy stuff and actually dared not pay.
They even stole from the place.
You tell me, should I beat them or not?"
"You’re talking crap, we obviously paid.
You’re just making trouble for no reason.
Our Boss won’t let you get away with this!"
The Chenhe Group employees all had a lot of faith in Chenhe Group’s mysterious Boss.
This time the Boss had also come.
So they weren’t scared at all.
"Hmph, if I say you stole, then you stole.
Doesn’t matter if you admit it or not.
On this turf, my word is law!"
Black Beard snorted coldly.
Li Junyao frowned and said, "You can’t just be so unreasonable. Don’t you just want money? Let them down first, I’ll give you the money."
"Now this one knows how things work.
But it’s useless.
We want the money, and we’re still going to teach them a lesson.
Stealing stuff is a nasty habit; at the very least, their hands have to go."
Black Beard sneered.
While Li Junyao was still trying to persuade him.
Xiao Chen had already gotten everyone down.
"Brat, what do you think you’re doing! Trying to die?"
Xiao Chen moved too fast.
He’d already let everyone down.
Only then did someone notice.
They shouted out.
"The ones looking to die aren’t us, it’s you guys."
Xiao Chen said coldly, "You dare lay hands on employees of Chenhe Group? I don’t care if you’re Black Beard or White Beard.
Today, you’re ending up as a Dead Beard."
"Heh, kid, you’ve got guts!
Since you’re so bold, don’t run.
Boys, all of you get in here.
We’ve got someone challenging us!"
Black Beard sneered.
The next second—whoosh.
Hundreds of men poured in from outside.
All of them baring fangs and brandishing claws, clearly not good people.
These guys weren’t your average street punks; they were real bandits, real pirates.
The kind that really killed without blinking.
Seeing this, the people from Chenhe Group panicked.
None of them had ever seen a scene like this.
They worked in big cities all year round.
They had no chance to run into this kind of thing.
The real scum had all been cleaned up by the War God King.
This time, they were in real trouble.
The men were still okay, but the women were scared out of their wits.
They’d thought they could enjoy a few days of fun.
Who knew they’d run into this as soon as they arrived.
The key thing was, this was Southern Island.
They didn’t know a soul here; there was no one they could turn to for help.
It was pure despair.
The heavens wouldn’t answer.
The earth wouldn’t respond.
Li Junyao was shaking all over, unable to get a word out.
Black Beard was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction.
He smiled and said, "All of us here saw your company’s people stealing.
With this many witnesses, it can’t be wrong, right?
If you steal, you take the punishment."
"Take the punishment!"
"Take the punishment!"
"Take the punishment!"
Everyone roared along with him.
Scaring the Chenhe Group people even more, making them tremble.
Anyone could see this was obviously a setup.
But the problem was, Li Junyao had already agreed to pay.
The other side still wouldn’t let it go.
Clearly, they weren’t just here for money.
