Hu Dajun hung up the phone and turned to give Xue An a triumphant look.
The commotion had attracted many onlookers, all of which were quietly discussing among themselves.
“Who is this man? How is he so daring?”
“I don’t know who he is, but he’s amazing!”
“Oh my god. That man is really handsome!”
“Shhh. Keep your voice low. That Hu Dajun guy isn’t an easy man to deal with. And don’t forget, he has the backing and support of the infamous Brother Kun of Beijiang!”
Many strangers in the crowd felt a little worried for Xue An’s safety. The braver ones among them mustered up the courage to warn Xue An of the impending danger. “Hey dude, hurry up and leave. A wise man knows when is the right time to quit!”
“Yeah man. You even brought your girlfriends with you! Just run away quickly. Brother Kun isn’t someone you want to mess around with!”
Xue An however, was completely unmoved. He simply gave the crowd a relaxed smile. “It’s okay. I really want to see how powerful this Brother Kun can be!” Xue An said in a calm and laid-back manner.
Some of the people in the gathered crowd were older and more prudent, and they could not help but shake their heads in disbelief. “Young people these days are just too competitive!”
Just as these words were spoken, Lu Kun and his company of men arrived at the scene.
Only a few minutes had passed since the phone call. Lu Kun had wasted no time in getting there.
Just like Hu Dajun had said, Lu Kun stays within the vicinity of the skating rink.
And at this moment, Lu Kun was full of resentment and rage.
After the incident at Dragon Emperor Tower, Lu Kun was kicked out of the city by his boss, Du Fan. With no other choice, Lu Kun set up his residence here in the wilderness, under the pretense of manning the operations of this skating rink.
The ugly truth however, was that he had been exiled!
But for Lu Kun, his current living condition was not his biggest problem. He felt that the most heartbreaking thing was what had happened to the thick head of hair that he used to have.
Now, every time he looked in the mirror, it felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest.
Xue An was truly ruthless and unforgiving.
He had ripped out every strand of hair, leaving nothing behind.
Now Lu Kun’s head was as bald as an egg. It was so smooth and shiny that you could even see your reflection on it.
This is ridiculous! Would his hair ever grow back out again?
Whenever he thought about this, Lu Kun really wished he could send Xue An to meet a slow, painful and torturous death.
But this was just a thought that he secretly entertained in his mind.
His boss, Du Fan, had issued him with a severe and uncompromising warning.
The next time he saw Xue An, he had been ordered to run away as far as possible.
If anything were to happen, Du Fan would not be able to protect him.
So Lu Kun could only harbor this anger in his heart.
But when he had received Hu Dajun’s phone call, all the anger that he had been suppressing came rushing out uncontrollably. Finally, Lu Kun had been given the opportunity to unleash his rage. He immediately called for his men and rushed over to the skating rink.
Hu Dajun nodded and bowed as he went over to greet Lu Kun. “Brother Kun! Why aren’t you wearing a hat? It’s such cold weather right now.”
After everything that has happened, it was now taboo to talk about hair in front of Brother Kun. He did not even want to hear about hair-related accessories, like hats. So, he shot a vicious glare at Hu Dajun.
“I’m ready to go!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Brother Kun, you see, my fingers have been chopped off. This guy is too arrogant, he even beat up all our men.”
Lu Kun’s face was filled with rage. “Damn it! These last two days have been really, really horrible. It seems like wherever I go, there’s bound to be trouble that finds me. It seems like I have no choice but to get rid of the problem!”
As he spoke, his eyes turned to look towards the direction that Hu Dajun was pointing at.
Then…
He froze.
It was Xue An, standing in the light with a mocking smile plastered on his face.
“Brother Kun, that’s the guy! The two women next to him are his friends. Once we’ve dealt with this guy, you can do whatever you want with the ladies…”
There was not even a chance to complete his sentence. Out of the blue, Lu Kun smacked Hu Dajun right in the face.
Slap.
It was such a powerful slap that Hu Dajun was sent spinning and fell to the ground. He lifted his hand to cover his cheek, wincing at the pain. He was utterly confused as he looked up at Lu Kun.
“Brother Kun, you…”
Then Lu Kun did something that struck everyone dumb with astonishment as they simply stood in shock.
Everyone looked on as Lu Kun took a few steps forward Xue An. He dropped to his knees with a loud thud and with utmost reverence, he said, “My greetings to you, Mr. Xue!”
The entire place fell completely silent.
In particular, Hu Dajun and the seven-point lady seemed especially in shock. Their mouths were gaping open.
Xue An looked down at Lu Kun, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him. He said, with great indifference, “You’re a sensible guy who knows how to adapt to the situation. That’s a commendable act.”
Lu Kun’s entire body shuddered. “Mr. Xue, I honestly did not know about your arrival. If I had known, I would have greeted you personally,” he replied with great respect.
Xue An shook his head. “That’s not necessary. But it seems like your men don’t seem to want me here.”
Lu Kun angrily leaped to his feet. His eyes were bloodshot. Immediately, he gave Hu Dajun a kick that sent him flying to the ground. “You have eyes and yet you can’t see? Do you know who this is? This is Mr. Xue! Are you tired of living? You dare to behave so atrociously in front of Mr. Xue?”
By now, Hu Dajun was already scared out of his wits. What was going on? Suddenly, realization dawned on him.
In the last two days, strange rumors have been spreading quickly around Beijiang.
It was said that a fight had broken out at Dragon Emperor Tower. Someone had violently beaten up Lu Kun, and had even forced Du Fan to bow before him in defeat. There were even rumors saying that this person had the support of the Mistress of the Qin Family, who also happened to be the main string-puller of Dragon Emperor Tower.
Could this be the legend that everyone was talking about?
As he considered this strange possibility, Hu Dajun hurriedly climbed back up to his feet before kneeling back down on the ground. He kowtowed vigorously, each time banging his head against the ground.
“Have mercy on me, Mr. Xue! Spare my life, Mr. Xue! I’m a bastard, I’m so blind!”
This shocking twist of events shocked many of the onlookers.
They looked at Hu Dajun, who was typically an arrogant man who had no problem flaunting his power and intimidating the people around him. Now, he was just like a little kid who was begging for mercy.
Even Lu Kun, who was a prominent figure in Beijiang, was on his knees and begging for forgiveness.
The crowd was simply confused as they look at Xue An with wonder in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Xue An turned to look at that seven-point lady. She was so scared that she had dropped to the ground in terror.
“Like I’ve mentioned before, I was in a good mood the last time we spoke, and I decided to let you off easy. But it seems like you’re persistent in courting your own death. So you really can’t blame me for what I’m going to do next.”
The seven-point lady turned white as a sheet. Hu Dajun, on the other hand, was raging with anger.
All this happened because of this loathsome little bitch!
If she had not egged him on, he would never have gotten himself into such a situation. He would still have his of his fingers intact!
Filled with anger, he jumped to his feet and slapped her.
The seven-point lady, who had just fixed her crooked nose, reeled back and found that her nose was slapped askew again.
As this was happening, Lu Kun stood on the sidelines. He broke out in cold sweat. He did not even dare to raise his head and look at Xue An.
He was terrified of this man, and Xue An had already left him with scars that he would never forget.
Xue An looked at Lu Kun and smiled. “You actually look better bald.”
Lu Kun forced a smile on his face, but he felt miserable. It was obvious that he was about to cry. “Yes, yes. I agree!”
Xue An helped Tang Xuan’er to her feet and turned around to leave.
It would be a waste of energy for Xue An to kill and get rid of these scums in the society.
Xue An finally walked far into the distance.
Hu Dajun, who was still badly shaken and had yet to recover from the shock, approached Lu Kun. He asked, “Brother Kun…”
“To hell with you! Don’t even mention my name! Do you have any idea how close we were to dying?” Lu Kun flew into a rage.
But he calmed himself, for in his hear, he no longer dared to bear the slightest hint of resentment.
In the short time that he had spent by Xue An’s side, Lu Kun finally learned and understood what it was like to have a murderous aura.
Lu Kun had no doubt that if he had not been quick-witted enough, he would most possibly be beheaded and dismembered by now.
Compared to that destiny, having his hair pulled out was nothing more than a small inconvenience.
Hu Dajun was behaving in a servile manner and did not dare utter a word.
Lu Kun took a deep breath and barked out his order. “In the future, if you ever see this man, run as far away as you can. If you really can’t avoid him at all, then get on your knees and act as if you’re his grandson. Do you understand me?”
“Yes,” Hu Dajun replied with head bowed.
“Don’t think I’m just scaring you. This warning was given to me by Brother Fan himself! If you think that you are more powerful than Brother Fan, then by all means, go ahead and try!”
