Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 216: Do You Dare to Make a Move?

"Alright, I’ll bring my boys with me and give you some support," Huangmao agreed readily upon hearing that Liu San’s request was not demanding—it was just a matter of hanging around for a while. After all, Liu San had only recently come under his wing, and he controlled this area; it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t show his face.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

...

Liu San’s five brothers also hurried over. When they heard that the boss’s business had been challenged, they were furious. In the past, without someone to back them up, they could only admit defeat when this happened; but now they had Brother Huangmao looking out for them—how could they swallow this insult? Besides, everyone understood what it meant when the boss mentioned Golden Happiness Jewelry; obviously, Brother Huangmao would have to show up to intimidate them, making things much easier. It would also let these people know we’re not to be messed with.

"Everyone follow me to trouble those guys. They really asked for it by messing with us. I’ll show them the cost of troubling us soon, especially since Brother Huangmao has already agreed to back us up with his brothers," Liu San felt that following Brother Huangmao was a very wise choice. At least now he and his brothers had an organization to rely on, and this feeling of having strong support was damn good.

To think that in the past when problems arose, he had to face them alone. Although his fighting skills were decent enough to handle five or six people, his brothers weren’t as capable; they were lucky to handle one each. They had a bad experience once when the opposition had two tough bodyguards who beat the six of them so badly that they had no fight left. If it weren’t for their quick getaway, their arms could have been broken. Now, if they face such a situation today, with Brother Huangmao and his group backing them up, they would scare off any opposition without anyone daring to make a move!

The thought that he could finally stand tall with the organization’s backing put Liu San in an indescribably good mood. He quickly led his brothers to join Brother Huangmao in hunting down those middle-aged men, relishing the thought of giving them a good beating soon without having to worry about anything.

"It’s those four guys!" Liu San immediately spotted the four men who had embarrassed him earlier and pointed them out in front of everyone.

"Guys, we’re going to corner those four and push them to the back of the building. Be quick about it. Brother Huangmao, we just need you and your brothers to help us hold down the fort," Liu San commanded his brothers upon spotting their targets. He was eager to impress in front of Brother Huangmao; otherwise, he might be looked down upon.

"Haha, here I am again, but this time it’s to settle the score with you," Liu San announced as he appeared in front of Lin Yiwen and his group, speaking arrogantly. He could handle them by himself, and with the support of his brothers and Brother Huangmao, there’s no way these four could escape today. "You dared to mess with my business, and now you’re going to face the consequences."

"Cut the crap. If you don’t want to die right now, just walk obediently to the back of the building."

"Walk obediently to the back, or my knife won’t be so forgiving."

"You see the knife up ahead? Mine’s the same."

"Move to the back of the building, hurry up."

Liu San’s brothers brandished knives and forced Lin Yiwen’s group to the back of the building. With the blades pointed at their waists, the four men dared not resist. These guys could be desperados for all they knew; getting stabbed would be real trouble.

Seeing that Liu San’s brothers had gotten the situation under control, Huangmao sat down not far away to observe. A dozen or so underlings stood behind him, giving off an imposing vibe. Huangmao was quite pleased with this show of force; this was the prestige of Brother Huangmao. It was just a matter of sitting on the sidelines for a while, then collecting an envelope—this deal was not bad at all.

Suddenly feeling disinterested, Huangmao turned his head away, scanning the street for beauties. There was nothing interesting about beating people up, especially since he wasn’t the one doing it. He preferred watching the beauties—it was more pleasant for the eyes. Speaking of which, there were quite a few beauties out tonight. He wondered if after resting in the morning, he could find one to take to bed with him...

Some bolder bystanders watched from a distance, thinking to themselves that with such a big scene unfolding, these four must have angered the gangsters. Why else would so many thugs appear? These people are really too bold for their own good. What era is it now, and they still dare to provoke these gangsters? Isn’t that just asking for trouble? Once entangled with them, you’re either beaten up severely or extorted mercilessly. Either way, it’s bad luck incarnate. I mean, look at them, they’re dressed nicely. Why would they be so foolish?

"So you like to meddle in others’ business, huh? Well then! My brothers here need to eat, and you see, my boss’s guys over there need to eat too. You four better figure it out," Liu San said as he watched his mates corner the victims behind the building. Extracting some money out of them before the beating wouldn’t be a bad idea; otherwise, it would be a wasted opportunity. Treating Brother Huangmao and the guys to tea costs money, after all. The sheep produce the wool; why should he foot the bill?

"You..." Lin Yiwen was infuriated to hear the thief speak like that. What age was it already? It’s supposed to be a society governed by law. How could there still be such blatant robbery? Thinking this, he was about to scold these people, not believing they would dare to harm him under such circumstances!

But he was stopped by his wife before he could speak, which made Lin Yiwen feel very frustrated. When had his wife changed? She used to despise evil just as much as he did. Why was she yielding to these gangsters today?

"How much money do you want?" Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Zhang Lan immediately stopped her husband. If it were just the two of them, it would be a different story. But Lin Dongchen and his wife were also there. With the mindset of spending money to avoid disaster, she wanted to ask how much the other party expected. If it wasn’t much, they could just pay and be done with it. After all, the safety of several people was far more important than money.

"Husband, what should we do?" Liu Li was truly scared by the situation. She had never encountered anything like this before and had no idea what to do, so she just gripped her husband’s arm tightly.

"Let’s see how things go and trust Brother and Sister-in-law," Lin Dongchen was also at a loss, but given the situation, it seemed best to follow Sister-in-law’s idea to spend money to avoid disaster, preventing any danger to the four of them.

"Don’t give me that ****** nonsense. Hurry up and hand over all your jewelry, watches, and cash. Otherwise, we start getting rough!" Seeing the deflated spirits of the four, Liu San felt elated inside. Having someone to back you up was always beneficial. When had he ever had such an easy time before?

He had already noticed the rings on the ladies’ fingers, which were definitely of excellent quality. Eager and greedy, Liu San immediately made his demand, thinking that if they refused to give up their valuables, he would just take them when he beat them up later. Such items would fetch a good price on the market.

"In your dreams! My jewelry was all bought by my husband, and I won’t give it to anyone," Liu Li retorted upon hearing that the thugs wanted her jewelry. She would not settle for this; her jewelry was worth three to four million, and one gold ring, bought by her husband before they made their fortune, was priceless in sentimental value; how could she possibly hand it over to these thieves!

"Your demand is too excessive; I don’t agree. You could take the cash, the watches, but not the jewelry. It was a gift from my husband for our anniversary," said Zhang Lan, refusing to give up her jewelry. The sentimental value of the pieces her husband bought far surpassed everything else, and she wouldn’t give them to these thugs.

Lin Yiwen and Lin Dongchen, hearing their wives’ refusals and seeing the thieves draw their knives again, knew that matters might not end well. They hugged their wives tightly, supporting their decisions with their actions.

"Playing hard to get, are you? Brothers, go! First, let’s beat them until they’re comfortable, then strip off their jewelry. Let them know who Liu San is!" Liu San was truly enraged to see the four still uncooperative in such a situation. He thought they cared more about their money than their lives. Since they seemed keen on a beating, he wouldn’t be polite; it was their own doing.

Just as Liu San’s men were about to make a move, Lin Feng arrived with Lin Jie.

"Who dares to touch them?" Seeing his parents cornered by several people armed with daggers, Lin Feng’s face turned pitch black in an instant. With a flash, he positioned himself in front of his parents, incredulous that someone would dare lay hands on his parents with so many witnesses. It looked like he would have to take action himself today. No one threatens his parents and lives to tell the tale; actions have consequences.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle, Auntie, are you all okay? Nothing happened, right?" Lin Jie rushed forward, fearing for the safety of her parents and their friends. No wonder Brother Lin Feng said they were in danger; it turned out to be true. She just hoped she wasn’t too late.

Reassured that her parents were safe, Lin Jie immediately looked towards Lin Feng, worried about him as she saw the opponents holding knives, her heart filled with fear. She silently prayed that nothing would happen to Brother Lin Feng; if something did, what would she do?

The crowd, initially expecting a serious conflict as the thugs drew their knives, were surprised when a young man and woman suddenly entered the fray, causing another standoff. They thought this pair must be foolish to rush into such a situation; it was like serving themselves up on a platter. Who did they think they were, able to take on so many people alone? Did they imagine themselves to be superheroes? They just wait and see how they would get flattened!
