Return of the Celestial King

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Killing Intent

Brother Hu was stunned. ’The Upper Bay Area?’

After all, the Upper Bay Area wasn’t a place just anyone could live.

Even in all of Ming City, only a select few could afford to live there.

Its residents were all either fabulously wealthy or incredibly influential—every last one of them a true top-tier figure.

Brother Hu’s expression immediately grew heavy.

However, after sizing up Qin Tuo for a moment, he let out a cold laugh.

"Are you kidding me? This loser is supposed to live in the Upper Bay Area? He can’t even afford anything better than a piece-of-shit domestic car. What a joke."

The property manager grew anxious and tried to persuade Brother Hu not to be rash.

But Brother Hu cut him off.

"Boys, enough talk! Get him! Cripple this punk for me!"

The property manager was terrified. He knew something terrible was about to happen.

Others might not know, but how could he be unaware of Qin Tuo’s capabilities?

Snapping back to his senses, the property manager quickly ordered the security guards to get all the bystanders away from the area.

He was trying to prevent word of this from getting out and ruining Half Moon Bay’s reputation.

The guards knew there was no time to waste and immediately began dragging everyone away.

Although Wang Lei wanted to stick around and watch the show, he didn’t dare defy the property manager.

Once he was a safe distance away, he shook his head.

"Sigh, what a shame. I didn’t get to see that guy Qin Tuo get his ass kicked. If I’d recorded it and sent it to the company group chat, his reputation would’ve been ruined."

Zhou Kexin, on the other hand, was quiet, deeply worried for Qin Tuo’s safety.

Although she often clashed with Qin Tuo, she had to admit he was actually a decent guy.

If something really happened to Qin Tuo, Zhou Kexin would feel terrible.

Besides, their parents had been friends for many years.

Zhou Kexin couldn’t just stand by and watch Qin Tuo get beaten to death!

Thinking of this, Zhou Kexin couldn’t help but ask:

"Wang Lei, shouldn’t we call the police?"

Wang Lei glared at her and said firmly:

"Of course not! It’s none of our business. I’d be happy if that punk got beaten to death!"

But Zhou Kexin retorted, her tone laced with dissatisfaction:

"Wang Lei, even though we’ve had our conflicts with him, he’s still a colleague from our company. It’s not right to just stand by and watch him get beaten to death!"

Wang Lei coughed twice and said with a stern face:

"Ke Xin, you’re too naive. If we actually call the police, we might get targeted by that Brother Hu. Then our lives would be hell!"

Just as he expected, Zhou Kexin was scared. Her face turned pale, and she didn’t dare mention calling the police again.

Back at the villa entrance, at Brother Hu’s command, a group of his men charged directly at Qin Tuo.

They were all burly men with vicious expressions.

But just as they rushed him, Qin Tuo suddenly dropped low and executed a sweeping kick.

WHOOSH!

The move struck all of them low, taking out their legs.

The entire group of thugs was swept to the ground!

Brother Hu was startled by this, but then he gritted his teeth and launched a sneak attack from behind.

Without even looking, Qin Tuo lashed out with a backward kick, striking Brother Hu squarely in the stomach.

The kick sent him crumpling to the ground, where he began to howl in agony.

In no more than twenty seconds, Qin Tuo had thoroughly subdued the entire group.

Looking at the thugs writhing on the ground, Qin Tuo asked with a smile,

"So, do you still want me to kneel and apologize?"

Brother Hu was in agony, but he was still trying to talk tough.

"You think you’re a tough guy, punk? I’ve got your license plate number. As soon as I find out where you live, your whole family is dead!"

Qin Tuo’s eyes instantly turned ice-cold. He stared at Brother Hu and asked,

"Are you threatening me?"

Brother Hu was taken aback by the look in Qin Tuo’s eyes.

For some reason, seeing that look on Qin Tuo’s face sparked a primal fear within him.

Still, he forced himself to put on a brave front.

"Either you kill me today, or I’ll kill your entire family tomorrow!"

At that, a genuine killing intent rose in Qin Tuo.

In this world, no one was allowed to threaten his parents.

If anyone dared, Qin Tuo would show them no mercy.

"Fine. You’re asking to die."

Qin Tuo said slowly as he walked toward Brother Hu, ready to end his life.

Just then, the property manager rushed forward to stop him.

"Mr. Qin, you can’t kill him! There are cameras everywhere! If you do this, you’ll bring yourself endless trouble!"

Hearing this, Qin Tuo frowned, and his killing intent slowly subsided.

Just as the property manager said, killing a few thugs was a trivial matter, but it could attract unnecessary trouble.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Tuo took out his phone and called Long Wu.

"Hey. Get to the entrance of Half Moon Bay in ten minutes."

The call went through. After a few brief words, Qin Tuo hung up.

On the other end of the line, Long Wu was stunned. He couldn’t understand why Qin Tuo was so furious.

He snapped out of it quickly, scrambling to get a car, determined to arrive within ten minutes.

Seeing Qin Tuo call for backup, Brother Hu sneered,

"Heh, a poor bastard like you can call for backup? I’d love to see who you can possibly get to show up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he also made a quick call to his own men.

A few moments later, three vans pulled up. More than twenty men piled out—all of them Brother Hu’s guys.

With his men on the scene, Brother Hu’s confidence instantly surged.

"Punk, I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel and apologize now, and it’s not too late!"

Brother Hu sneered.

But Qin Tuo completely ignored him, treating him as if he were thin air.

Seeing their boss being disrespected, Brother Hu’s men couldn’t take it, and they all began shouting for revenge.

The woman in sunglasses also gritted her teeth and said hatefully,

"Brother Hu, hurry up and teach this punk a lesson! Otherwise, he’ll really think you’re a pushover!"

But Brother Hu was in no hurry. He felt victory was already in his grasp.

After a few minutes, when no one had arrived, Brother Hu started to mock him.

"So, punk, have you had enough? Where are your people? Why aren’t they here yet? You weren’t just bluffing, were you?"

Qin Tuo shrugged, his expression full of disdain.

"If you don’t make your move now, you might not get another chance."

Hearing this, Brother Hu burst out laughing.

"Punk, I’ve never been afraid of anyone around here! Let’s just see how many people you can rustle up!"

But the words had barely left his mouth when a black Rolls-Royce sped onto the scene and stopped right in front of them.

Brother Hu and his men felt their hearts sink.

The door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and a single man stepped out.

But the moment he saw who it was, Brother Hu was so frightened he couldn’t speak.

"Oh my god... It’s Master Long..."
