Chapter 10: Chapter 10: I’d Like to See Who Dares
Qin Tuo frowned and asked slowly.
"And who are you?"
Zhao Tiancheng looked down on him, snorting disdainfully.
"I am Zhao Tiancheng, Patriarch of the Zhao Family. This is my son’s engagement banquet, so you’d best behave yourself!"
Seeing Zhao Tiancheng step in to protect his own, the expressions on the guests’ faces became quite a spectacle.
"Zhao Tiancheng is here. That young man, Qin Tuo, is finished."
"My god, Zhao Tiancheng? I hear he controls many of Ming City’s underground businesses, including martial arts gyms, casinos, and all sorts of entertainment venues. Even the top families have to show him some respect!"
"Exactly. The Zhao Family might not be the wealthiest in Ming City, but their status is incredibly high for this very reason."
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Zhao Peng’s expression grew even more arrogant.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Qin Tuo simply shook his head.
"Zhao Tiancheng? Never heard of him!"
What...
Never heard of him?
The expressions on the guests’ faces became absolutely priceless.
Zhao Tiancheng’s mouth twitched, his face turning vicious.
’To be so openly disdained by a punk like Qin Tuo in front of so many guests!’
"You arrogant piece of trash! Go to hell!"
Feeling humiliated, Zhao Peng suddenly roared, grabbed a nearby chair, and swung it directly at Qin Tuo’s head.
The crowd of guests jumped in fright, their hearts leaping into their throats.
Qin Tuo took a single, light step back, effortlessly dodging the blow.
Then his leg shot out like a whip in a swift kick!
The kick sent the chair flying back, smashing heavily into Zhao Peng’s left leg.
"AIIEE, it hurts so much..."
Zhao Peng grimaced in pain, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Son!"
Zhao Tiancheng’s heart tightened. He rushed over to check on his son.
"It’s broken..."
Zhao Tiancheng’s expression turned incredibly grim.
He knew with a single glance that Zhao Peng’s leg had suffered a compound fracture. He’d need at least half a year of bed rest to recover.
Everyone was stunned. They hadn’t expected Qin Tuo to be so ruthless as to break Zhao Peng’s leg just like that.
"Good, kid. You just wait!"
Zhao Tiancheng gritted his teeth, his anger blazing.
He pulled out his phone and started dialing a number.
"Hello? Get over to the Lige Hotel. And bring plenty of men! What for? I want someone killed!"
After hanging up, a thick killing intent surfaced in Zhao Tiancheng’s eyes.
Now everyone knew something big was about to happen.
"It’s over. That kid is really done for now. He offended the Zhao Family. There’s no way he’s walking out of the Lige Hotel alive today."
"Yeah, he has a death wish. How dare he fight the Zhao Family? They run several martial arts gyms in Ming City and have numerous Martial Artists under them. Did he think they were someone to be trifled with?"
"Sigh, let’s go, let’s go. Someone might actually get killed here soon."
Listening to the crowd’s murmurs, Qin Tuo remained completely unfazed.
He calmly sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to slowly sip it.
This sight made the father and son duo, Zhao Tiancheng and Zhao Peng, fume with rage.
"Dad! I want to kill him! I have to kill him!"
Zhao Peng clutched his broken leg, screaming hysterically.
Zhao Tiancheng’s eyes narrowed.
"Don’t worry, son. Dad will get revenge for you today. No matter who this kid is, he’s a dead man!"
His words were laced with a chilling killing intent, causing the guests who heard him to shiver uncontrollably.
Before long, a group of Martial Artists stormed into the hall!
After a quick glance, they approached, their faces cold and indifferent.
These Martial Artists had an imposing aura and steady gaits. They were clearly seasoned practitioners of martial arts, far beyond what any ordinary bodyguard could compare to.
"Patriarch, your orders?"
The tall Martial Artist leading them asked respectfully, his expression grim.
Seeing this, everyone knew Qin Tuo was finished.
And yet, Qin Tuo remained perfectly calm, sitting steadfastly in his seat.
Zhao Tiancheng stared daggers at Qin Tuo, an intense murderous intent leaking from his eyes.
"I want him... dead!!"
"Yes, Patriarch!"
The group of Martial Artists was startled.
Then, they erupted with killing intent and charged toward Qin Tuo!
"Get back..."
The surrounding people scrambled backward in a panic.
"I’d like to see who dares!"
Suddenly, a sharp, feminine cry came from outside the hotel entrance, ringing in everyone’s ears.
Everyone looked up to see the hotel’s main doors being forced open!
A group of hotel security guards followed behind a stunningly beautiful woman as she strode in.
This woman was none other than Chen Man Ni, known as one of the Three Golden Flowers of Ming City.
Chen Man Ni wore an indifferent expression, but her noble aura astounded everyone present.
Chen Man Ni’s arrival made the expressions of the crowd even more of a spectacle.
’What is the young miss of the Chen Family doing here?’
Qin Tuo lifted his eyelids slightly, a small smile playing on his lips.
’Right on time...’
Chen Man Ni walked straight forward with her people and blocked the group of Martial Artists.
In the process, she also shielded Qin Tuo behind her!
This action caused Zhao Tiancheng’s eyes to narrow sharply.
Chen Man Ni looked down on them all, completely disregarding the group of Martial Artists before her.
She snorted coldly.
"Mr. Qin is my honored guest. I’d like to see who dares to touch him today!"
Her words landed with incredible authority, stunning everyone.
Even these well-trained, professional Martial Artists lowered their proud heads, not daring to meet Chen Man Ni’s gaze.
This was the unique aura of someone in a position of power!
"What? Chen Man Ni is actually protecting this kid?"
"No way! The richest man’s daughter, Miss Chen, is actually helping him? What’s going on!"
The scene instantly erupted into chaos!
Many people were bewildered.
Zhao Peng was so furious his face twisted into a crazed, distorted mask.
Zhao Tiancheng’s chest heaved violently, a clear sign of his immense anger.
He forcibly suppressed his rage and asked, unwilling to accept it.
"Miss Chen, he ruined my son’s engagement party and broke my son’s leg, yet you insist on protecting him. Why?"
Even in front of Chen Man Ni, Zhao Tiancheng had to demand an explanation for his son.
Chen Man Ni said coldly.
"Mr. Qin is my father’s savior. No matter what, I will not allow anything to happen to him here."
WHOA!
At this, all the guests showed their astonishment. This kid was actually Chen Wenxiong’s savior?
"What did you say?"
Zhao Tiancheng blurted out, his face ugly.
Zhao Peng, Xu Min, and the others all had twisted, frozen expressions, unable to say a single word.
Suddenly, Xu Min jumped up and shrieked:
"Impossible! You’re lying! Since when does he know medicine? He’s just a good-for-nothing! You must have been tricked!"
