Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength
Hearing this, Jiang Liang shook his head with a disdainful smile.
"Don’t worry, Zhao Peng. I brought two bodyguards with me this time. Both are great masters of Inner Strength. You really think they can’t handle a nobody like Qin Tuo?"
Hearing this, Zhao Peng was ecstatic.
He had, of course, heard just how terrifying a Martial Artist who had mastered Inner Strength could be!
And now there were two such masters. ’No matter how incredible Qin Tuo is,’ he thought, ’there’s no way he can take on both of them!’
"Young Master Jiang, you truly live up to your reputation as a young master from the Provincial City! To have such experts in your employ... truly admirable!"
Zhao Peng quickly buttered him up.
Without another word, Jiang Liang pulled a handgun from his coat and began to slowly wipe it clean.
The sight of the handgun made Zhao Peng hold his breath.
Jiang Liang muttered to himself,
"Besides, in the unlikely event that they can’t beat that punk, I still have this."
A smug smile spread across Zhao Peng’s face.
"Brilliant, Young Master Jiang! No matter how tough Qin Tuo is, he can’t possibly dodge a bullet, can he?"
Jiang Liang snorted.
"That’s why, no matter what, I’m going to make that bitch Chen Man Ni watch Qin Tuo die right in front of her. Then I’ll make her kneel before me and beg for her life! HA HA HA!"
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhao Peng quickly spoke up.
"Young Master Jiang, Qin Tuo should be here any minute. We need to get ready!"
Jiang Liang nodded and smiled.
"Don’t worry. I’ve already set up surveillance out front. We’ll be able to see if Qin Tuo is coming alone or if he brought backup."
And just as he said, the monitor soon showed Qin Tuo approaching the warehouse area by himself.
Jiang Liang and Zhao Peng exchanged a look, and both broke into arrogant, wild laughter.
"This is perfect, Young Master Jiang! Qin Tuo really came alone. Now we can crush him however we please."
Zhao Peng exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement.
Jiang Liang waved his hand dismissively.
"Zhao Peng, you go on ahead. I’ll be right behind you."
"Yes, Young Master Jiang..."
Zhao Peng then dashed into the warehouse, giddy with anticipation.
By now, Qin Tuo had arrived at the old warehouse.
His face was blank, but he was secretly on high alert.
As he stepped inside, the air was thick with the smell of dust.
Qin Tuo looked ahead and, just as expected, saw Zhao Peng walking out with a sinister grin.
"HA HA HA! Qin Tuo, you damn ex-con! Look at you now!"
Qin Tuo’s voice was cold.
"Zhao Peng, if you know what’s good for you, let her go now. I might just spare your life. A moment later, and it’ll be too late."
Zhao Peng threw his head back and roared with laughter, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
His voice turned grim as he said,
"Qin Tuo, you really don’t get the situation you’re in, do you? Have you forgotten whose turf you’re on? Taking your life would be child’s play for me right now, and you still have the gall to speak to me so arrogantly?"
Qin Tuo let out a disdainful snort.
"You’re pathetic. You’re just a loser I’ve already beaten once. Believe me when I say I could destroy your entire Zhao Family with a single word."
"Keep talking tough, you punk!"
Zhao Peng was fuming. He had expected Qin Tuo to back down in a situation like this, not continue to talk so tough.
Just then, a sinister laugh echoed through the warehouse.
"Qin Tuo, congratulations on walking right into my trap. You’re a dead man today!"
Hearing that grating, duck-like voice, Qin Tuo knew it was Jiang Liang.
Sure enough, Jiang Liang slowly emerged from the shadows.
He was dragging Chen Man Ni with one hand, while his other hand pressed the muzzle of a handgun to her forehead.
Chen Man Ni struggled desperately, her eyes wide with terror. The meaning in her gaze was unmistakable.
She was telling Qin Tuo to get out of there, to not worry about her!
Seeing Chen Man Ni’s disheveled and worn-out state, Qin Tuo’s heart clenched, and a wave of guilt washed over him.
Qin Tuo’s eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed two tall, elite bodyguards following behind Jiang Liang.
With a single glance, Qin Tuo could tell that both men were high-level masters of Martial Arts who had perfected their Inner Strength!
Qin Tuo spoke.
"Jiang Liang, let her go. I can pretend none of this ever happened. How about it?"
Jiang Liang’s eyes went wide before he burst into crazed laughter.
"Qin Tuo, are you kidding me? Your life is in my hands, and you have the nerve to tell *me* to let someone go? I don’t know what to say... you’re unbelievable."
But Qin Tuo’s voice was as cold as if it had come from the depths of hell.
"Jiang Liang, you’ve probably heard about what I’m capable of. If you really force my hand, I swear, I’ll stop at nothing to hunt you down and kill you, even if you run to the ends of the earth!"
At this, the rage in Jiang Liang’s eyes burned with hatred. The memory of how he had been humiliated during their handshake made him hate Qin Tuo to the very core.
"Qin Tuo, I called you here today for one reason: to make your little lover watch you die a horrible death. And after that, I’m going to have my fun with her! Ha ha!"
Jiang Liang threw his head back in arrogant, wild laughter, while Chen Man Ni let out a feeble cry.
However, after hours of struggling, she was already completely exhausted.
Now, she didn’t have the strength to resist at all.
Qin Tuo’s eyes narrowed, a terrifying killing intent slowly brewing in the depths of his heart.
He knew this deranged Jiang Liang was capable of anything.
He had to be extremely careful with every move. If anything happened to Chen Man Ni, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Zhao Peng, go over there and teach this punk a lesson! Show him he’s in over his head!"
Jiang Liang suddenly waved his hand, a cold sneer on his face.
Zhao Peng nodded eagerly, a cruel smile spreading across his face as he walked toward Qin Tuo.
Qin Tuo, however, remained rooted to the spot, showing no reaction.
Zhao Peng shouted as he rolled up his sleeves,
"Qin Tuo, you little bastard! I’m going to settle all our old scores today! Only then will I be satisfied!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he raised his hand to slap Qin Tuo across the face.
Jiang Liang watched quietly. He didn’t believe Qin Tuo would dare to fight back.
’After all,’ he thought, ’I still have his girlfriend.’
Suddenly, Qin Tuo’s hand shot out like a bolt of lightning.
SLAP!
Zhao Peng was stunned. His face instantly swelled up like a balloon.
"What? You little bastard! You dare to hit back?"
Zhao Peng let out a scream like a stuck pig.
The next moment, Qin Tuo swept Zhao Peng off his feet and stomped down hard on his leg.
"AARGH! It’s broken! It’s broken! The pain is killing me..."
Beads of sweat poured down Zhao Peng’s forehead as his agonized screams echoed throughout the warehouse.
Seeing this from a distance, Jiang Liang was completely stunned!
