A sprawling market filled with neighbors and locals. Ordinarily, it should be bustling at this hour.

But now, it's quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

It's not that the locals don't want to talk, but the situation in the market is too unsettling.

By now, Brother Zai seemed to find slapping not enough, and pushed Butcher Niu to the ground, pressing his neck while his two hands pounded down like a whirlwind.

The stance was as terrifying as facing a UFC opponent.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Bam...

The sound of punches landing with intervals was the only sound echoing in the market.

In the end, Brother Zai was drenched in sweat, cursing with spittle flying, "You damn Butcher Niu!"

"Wuwuwu..."

Butcher Niu's face was swollen like a bun, covered with blood and tear stains, and he whimpered, looking miserable.

The pain on his face was something he had never experienced in his life, perhaps the same as staying in hell.

The intense pain made Butcher Niu want to die, but the unsatisfied curiosity in his heart gave him the courage to live.

"Why, why am I getting beaten up like this?"

Even if he had to die painfully, he wanted to die with clarity. Butcher Niu was unwilling and angry, so he used all his strength to squeeze out this sentence from his throat.

"Why?"

Brother Zai wiped the sweat off his forehead, spat, and cursed, "Your bullheaded eyes are blind, your mouth is foul, that's the reason, not convinced, huh!"

"I'll obey your mother!"

Butcher Niu was in so much pain he was going mad, cursing in his heart, but outwardly could only cry.

After dealing with Butcher Niu, Brother Zai peeked at the expression of the noble on the side.

He found Qin Hao's face calm, without showing any emotion.

Was it not enough?

A chill ran through Brother Zai's heart, and he raised his hand again, ready to strike hard.

Butcher Niu's eyes bulged, and he fainted from fear.

"Cough, cough!"

Qin Hao couldn't bear it, and gave two reminders with a dry cough.

Brother Zai's hand hovered in the air, and when he turned his head, his face changed to one of fawning, "Big brother, is this enough?"

As soon as these words came out, the neighbors and locals beside him were astonished, eyes wide open, Big brother? The loan shark dared call this young man big brother?

What is the background of this young man?

The fainted Butcher Niu also opened his eyes in shock, looking at Qin Hao with astonishment.

Now, he realized that the reason he was beaten was because of this.

Yet, a more puzzling question arose.

What exactly does Qin Hao possess that makes Brother Zai kiss up to him like this!

"Enough is enough, I'm just here to sell vegetables."

Honestly, Qin Hao felt Brother Zai was a bit too harsh. If he acted, he'd just slap a few times and let him apologize, but Brother Zai had turned the man into a pig's head?

"Hey, as long as Big brother is satisfied."

Brother Zai stood up from Butcher Niu, saw the fellow on the ground was not unconscious, sneered coldly, grabbed Butcher Niu by the collar, and cursed, "Now, kneel and apologize to Big brother!"

"Wuwuwu!"

Butcher Niu felt extremely aggrieved, the very Qin Hao he had cursed a moment ago was now like the god controlling his destiny.

This feeling made his heart bleed.

Initially, Butcher Niu was unwilling to kneel, but after being slapped twice on the back of his head by Brother Zai, he grudgingly ended with his forehead touching the ground, giving a sincere apology.

The people beside him were even more startled: is there really such a way of apologizing in society?

What they didn't know was, Brother Zai originally intended to make Butcher Niu lick Qin Hao's shoes, after all, that was how he once earned forgiveness.

But upon thinking, Butcher Niu's mouth was so dirty, that licking Qin Hao's shoes might be undeserving.

So, he simply inconvenienced Qin Hao, letting him endure Butcher Niu's kneeling.

Looking at Butcher Niu kneeling before him, Qin Hao felt nothing inside, and turned to look at Xixi and Bi Fang, "How do you two ladies see this?"

Xixi turned pale and dared not speak, after all, a child had never witnessed such violence, she was somewhat dazed.

Bi Fang covered Xixi's eyes, "It's enough."

She knew she would inevitably come back for groceries, thinking there was no need to overdo it.

"Alright then."

Qin Hao nodded, understanding from Brother Zai, who then shoved Butcher Niu to the ground, cursed, "Lucky for you, kid!"

After cursing, he walked over with a fawning smile, "Big brother, you're really magnanimous!"

Qin Hao's expression unchanged, "Got money?"

"Of course!"

Brother Zai hurriedly took out his wallet, handing over red and green bills in a pile.

Qin Hao counted, furrowing his brows, "Only eight hundred, seems lacking, huh?"

"Boss, what do you want to buy?"

Brother Zai was suddenly shocked, what food here in the market is so expensive? Eight hundred bucks isn't enough!

Qin Hao gestured towards Butcher Niu on the ground, "Go ask him."

Brother Zai's eyes flared, glaring at Butcher Niu, cursed, "What kind of trick are you playing!"

Seeing the beef on the table after weighing, guessing the reason, he cursed again, "You damn bastard, this much beef and eight hundred isn't enough! Are you looking to die!"

"Wuwuwu!"

Butcher Niu thought he was going to get beaten again, trembling uncontrollably, mouth crying as if pleading.

"Idiot!"

Brother Zai angrily kicked again.

"Take it! Whatever you want, take it quickly! Free!"

Butcher Niu felt pain at his waist, shouting with all his might.

Now he regretted deeply, knowing earlier, he'd never have offended Bi Fang and Qin Hao.

"Hm, you still have some sense!"

Brother Zai lifted the bag of beef, politely handed it to Qin Hao, "Boss, take it!"

"How can I accept this."

Saying this, Qin Hao still took the bag. After all, it was for the two ladies to eat, couldn't be careless, this beef was perfect!

Meat was acquired, only condiments and vegetables were missing. Seeing things were handled, Qin Hao wasn't planning to stay, "Little Zai, I need to go grocery shopping, you go do whatever you should."

"At your command, Boss!"

Brother Zai respectfully bowed, fearing and respecting Qin Hao from the heart.

Not long ago, when he saw Father Bi again, he was startled.

The other having slicked-back hair, wearing a suit, sporting a luxury watch, was no longer the fallen gambler he once was.

The two had some connection, Father Bi showed off in front of Brother Zai, inadvertently revealing his current success was thanks to Qin Hao.

Later Brother Zai found out Father Bi had made it to management at a major casino.

With just a word from him, turning a fallen gambler into a millionaire, Qin Hao's influence had long overwhelmed Brother Zai into submission.

If he could, he wouldn't mind licking Qin Hao's shoes like he did before.

"Alright, we're leaving."

Qin Hao feared Brother Zai might indeed lick his shoes, left a word, then pulled the two beauties to walk elsewhere.

"Seems, Bi Family's daughter has not only a handsome boyfriend but also someone powerful!"

"Bao Yazi is a ruthless guy. Anyone he's afraid of must be quite formidable."

"Bi Jian Country's awaited golden son-in-law has finally arrived, this old gambler is bound for blessings!"
