Liu Jiangbo laughed loudly, actually grabbing Guo Xifeng's fair and plump arm while uttering vulgar words:
"Respect? What are women for to be respected? Women are for fucking, for fucking comfortably, for lovingly cherishing, hehe. ( ) Everyone, tell me, am I right?"
The guys behind him chuckled and echoed:
"That's right, Boss Liu is absolutely right, so technically sophisticated, hahaha!"
"Brother Liu's way of speaking is so high-level, women, you just need to fuck them until they're obedient, make them love you, make them cherish you…"
"Sister-in-law, just give in to Brother Liu, he'll love you well tonight!"
…
So many vulgar words made Guo Xifeng unable to bear it any longer, she shouted: "You're all a bunch of beasts!"
Then, with a swift movement, she slapped Liu Jiangbo hard across the face.
The slap was loud; a clear handprint immediately appeared on Liu Jiangbo's cheek. He clutched his face, enraged, and yelled, "You damn bitch, you dare hit me?"
As he cursed, he raised his hand to slap Guo Xifeng's face.
The movement was swift; Guo Xifeng couldn't dodge.
However, another hand was even faster, suddenly appearing from the side and striking Liu Jiangbo's other cheek with tremendous force. So, when Liu Jiangbo's hand was still about ten centimeters from Guo Xifeng's face, his entire body flew sideways. With a loud crash, he slammed into the nearby coffee table.
The coffee table shattered into pieces!
Liu Jiangbo screamed in agony. That slap was enough to hurt him; half his face was swollen, blood gushed from his nose, and a tooth flew out as he cried out in pain.
The surrounding people were stunned, unable to believe that a slap could have such force, enough to send someone flying!
And Liu Jiangbo weighed at least 150 or 160 pounds!
Several hotel security guards timidly approached, but after being glared at coldly by Lu Chen, they quickly retreated a few steps.
Liu Jiangbo struggled, roaring, "You son of a bitch, you pretty boy, how dare you hit me? Are you out of your mind? I'll have someone kill you, slaughter you like a pig!"
Lu Chen, hearing this, became even angrier.
"Damn it, what the hell are you saying? Calling me a pretty boy? I may be handsome, but I never eat handsome clothes; I'm only good at supporting women. You son of a bitch!"
Thinking it over, Lu Chen kicked again, stomping hard on Liu Jiangbo's thigh.
Liu Jiangbo screamed, "Murder! Help?! You... what are you standing there for? Beat that kid up!"
Hearing this, the group of guys rubbed their hands together, ready to pounce on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen turned around, glaring at them menacingly: "Anyone who dares to come closer will meet the same fate!"
This shout silenced the group.
Seeing this, Liu Jiangbo shouted again, "Hurry up! Go get Brother Qiang! Go get Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang can definitely handle this kid, he'll kill him without leaving a trace! Go now!"
The group of guys quickly responded and turned to run hastily down the corridor.
Brother Qiang? Lu Chen was taken aback. This Brother Qiang seemed pretty formidable!
Then Liu Jiangbo roared, "You brat, you just wait! Don't you dare run away! Do you know who you've messed with? Let me tell you, I'm a shareholder of the Golden Coast Nightclub. Do you know what Golden Coast is? It's the territory of the Golden Hall, one of the four major gangs in Yunzhou City. I'm a member of the Golden Hall! If you offend me, you offend the entire Golden Hall!"
Lu Chen chuckled.
The Golden Hall? The Golden Coast Nightclub? So, the "Brother Qiang" he mentioned is Bald Qiang?
What a strange twist of fate!
Guo Xifeng, standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, her face immediately tensing up. She tugged at Lu Chen's arm, "Chen, let's hurry up and leave! I think I've heard of these Four Great Halls; they're from the underworld. We can't afford to mess with them. Let's get out of here!"
Liu Jiangbo grinned through gritted teeth, "Leave? You think you can leave? A large number of our Golden Hall men are inside. They'll be out in a minute. You bitch, just wait and see how I fuck you tonight! And you pretty boy, you..."
"Damn it, you called me pretty boy again!"
Lu Chen, his face full of displeasure, raised a foot and mercilessly kicked Liu Jiangbo in the groin, "I'll let you fuck me! I'll make sure you're a piece of grass for the rest of your life, let's see how you fuck me then!"
With a thud, Liu Jiangbo let out a strange cry, clutching his groin with both hands, his face contorted in a bizarre way. His cheeks bulged, and cold air hissed from his nostrils. It seemed this kick was absolutely capable of cutting off his offspring!
Just then, the sound of a large group of footsteps echoed down the corridor, accompanied by shouts and curses.
"Brother Qiang, quick! That kid's too arrogant! Brother Jiang just chatted with his ex-wife a few times, and that kid slapped him so hard he broke the coffee table!"
"That kid even kicked his thigh! He doesn't take our Golden Hall seriously at all!"
"That kid deserves to be arrested and torn to pieces!"
...
Then, a dozen or so people strode out of the corridor. Leading them were the same group from before, followed by burly thugs in black clothes and pants. The one in front was particularly strong and fierce, his face contorted with savagery.
His bald head, gleaming like a mirror, seemed to radiate energy capable of smashing holes in walls.
It was Bald Qiang!
The moment he saw Lu Chen, his eyes narrowed, flashing with a sharp, piercing light.
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat; a sense of unease crept into his mind. Last time on the Gold Coast, although he'd fought several thugs first before battling this guy, which is why he couldn't defeat him, he knew he'd lose even if they fought directly—just a slower loss. So many days had passed; he'd improved, and so had his opponent!
After all, the other was at Martial Arts Level 5, while he was still only around Level 2 or 3.
But overall, Lu Chen remained confident. "My internal energy is so strong now, and my Curse God abilities have also improved. I'm not afraid of you! Come at me, let's fight until the world turns upside down! Let's see who wins."
Bald Qiang and his men slowly approached, their imposing aura making Lu Chen feel somewhat suffocated.
However, he still greeted him cheerfully, "Bald Qiang, what a coincidence, we meet again. Perfect timing! You dented my car door last time you smashed it on the street, you still haven't paid me back! Pay up, pay up!"
Bald Qiang gave a slight, cold smile, looking somewhat disdainful. Liu Jiangbo, on the other hand, scrambled to his feet with all his might and rushed to Bald Qiang's side, shouting angrily, "Brother Qiang, this kid hit me! Damn it… I lost a tooth, and another one's loose. You have to help me get revenge, hitting me is like hitting your face…"
Bald Qiang was only around thirty years old, while Liu Jiangbo was over fifty; the contrast in their calling each other "Brother Qiang" was rather amusing.
Then, emboldened, Liu Jiangbo's eyes gleamed with malice as he stabbed Lu Chen with a finger: "You brat, you're dead! Our Brother Qiang is one of the top fighters in the Golden Hall. You messed with Brother Qiang, you're finished! Hehe! Guo Xifeng, look at your pretty boy… Ouch!"
Before he could finish, a deafening scream erupted.
It was Bald Qiang, standing beside him, who suddenly extended an incredibly thick arm, like a massive iron rod, and swung it backward with a powerful blow. Bang! It slammed into Liu Jiangbo's chest.
The impact sent Liu Jiangbo flying backward with a whoosh, incredibly fast!
As he flew along the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood and two teeth. Then, with a loud thud, he crashed into a wall several meters away.
The force of his attack was so powerful it looked like he was about to smash through the wall, shaking the entire hall.
Liu Jiangbo, with a strange look in his eyes, pressed himself against the wall and slowly slid to the floor.
He looked utterly wretched.
His eyes widened in disbelief, blood gushing from his mouth, clearly indicating severe internal injuries.
He weakly raised an arm, pointing at Bald Qiang: "You...you..."
Before he could finish speaking, an oil painting on the wall suddenly wobbled and fell.
The frame struck Liu Jiangbo squarely on the head with a loud thud.
Instantly, Liu Jiangbo's head lolled to the side, and he lost consciousness.
Lu Chen frowned slightly, secretly alarmed. Although he didn't know why Bald Qiang had attacked Liu Jiangbo, and with such force, the power of that attack clearly demonstrated astonishing strength!
This Bald Qiang was indeed a formidable fellow.
Lu Chen thought about the people he knew. Among his peers, those under thirty, he figured his brother, the special forces division commander, could probably beat him, along with Zhuang Sicong and Shangguan Jinwang.
Of course, if you included women, Yu Menglan was one of them.
His men were stunned, completely bewildered. Why did their boss suddenly attack one of their own?
Bald Qiang spoke up, his voice full of disdain: "You really don't know your own limitations, daring to mess with just anyone, even using the name of the Golden Hall. Don't you even bother to find out who destroyed the God of Wealth Hall!"
Instantly, his men, including the ones who had attacked earlier, froze, looking at Lu Chen with horrified eyes.
Lu Chen smiled wryly, wanting to shrug and say he was innocent; although it involved him, it was his brother who did the attack.
Bald Qiang waved his hand coldly and said, "You all go first, get out of here! Take that coward away!"
His men didn't dare utter a sound, quickly supporting the still-uncertain Liu Jiangbo, and then retreated.
Then, Bald Qiang's sharp, knife-like eyes were fixed on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled, standing with his feet shoulder-width apart, ready to fight at any moment, returning Bald Qiang's sharp gaze. The surrounding security guards and other staff dared not approach, intimidated by the sheer force of the aura.
Guo Xifeng, standing to the side, was also at a loss.
She never expected that the reinforcements her ex-husband had brought, a seemingly powerful gangster boss, would suddenly attack and beat her ex-husband like a dead rat!
But he and Lu Chen didn't seem to be friends, otherwise, why were they acting like two fighting cocks?
Bald Qiang smirked and said coldly, "Want to fight?"
Lu Chen said calmly, "If you say fight, then fight."
Bald Qiang smiled sinisterly, his imposing aura suddenly dissipating. He said coldly, "No fight. Come with me. I have something to ask you!" With that, he strode outside.
Lu Chen scratched his head and followed.
After taking only two steps, Guo Xifeng quickly grabbed his arm. "Won't something happen?"
Lu Chen blinked. "Don't worry, it's safe. Sister Feng, you can go back first. I'll be back soon."
