Huang Xinglong shot Lin Xiao a disdainful glance.
"You filthy beggar, who the hell do you think you are, demanding an apology from me? Have I been too easy on you?"
Lin Xiao just smiled.
But the next second, he stomped his foot on Huang Xinglong's head.
THUD!!!
A dull thud echoed.
Huang Xinglong screamed in agony once again.
"You fucking beggar, if you've got the guts, kill me! If you don't, then I'll fucking kill you today!"
Lin Xiao smiled again and removed his foot.
Besides, Huang Xingcheng would be here soon, so there was no need for him to deal with this himself.
When Huang Xinglong saw Lin Xiao remove his foot, he assumed the filthy beggar was scared, which only made him more brazen.
The worthless punk stood up, enduring the excruciating pain, and bellowed at Lin Xiao, "Fuck, you filthy beggar, kneel down now! I'm not afraid to tell you, my big brother is coming. Once he arrives, it'll be useless even if you kneel and beg for mercy!"
Pei Donglai's heart skipped a beat, a flicker of worry crossing his eyes.
Others might not know about the Huang Family of Shengjing, but I do. They're one of the city's first-tier families.
Moreover, Huang Xinglong's older brother, Huang Xingcheng, was the Huang Family's eldest young master, notorious for his arrogance and tyrannical ways.
If he shows up, this matter won't be easy to resolve.
Although Pei Donglai had great confidence in Lin Xiao and knew his background was extraordinary, the Huang Family's power was no empty boast.
Lin Xiao noticed the worry in Pei Donglai's eyes and said calmly, "Don't worry. Just sit back and enjoy the show."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xinglong let out a disdainful sneer.
"Yo, still trying to act tough, you filthy beggar? You won't kneel? Fine, then brace yourself for disaster!"
Just as Lin Xiao was about to speak, a cold voice cut through the crowd.
"Make way!"
The crowd quickly parted, creating a path.
Soon, a familiar face appeared before Lin Xiao. It was none other than Huang Xingcheng.
This guy... he vanished without a trace after our last meeting.
Huang Xingcheng, of course, also saw Lin Xiao—and the thunderous look on his face.
He suddenly remembered Lin Xiao asking him about Huang Xinglong earlier. Could it be? Did that idiot Huang Xinglong really provoke Lin Xiao?
At that thought, Huang Xingcheng's heart lurched.
He was about to speak, but Huang Xinglong, acting as if he'd seen a long-lost relative, scrambled over to him.
"Bro, this filthy beggar hit me! You have to teach him a good lesson for me!"
BOOM!!!
Huang Xingcheng's mind went blank. It's over. That idiot Huang Xinglong really did provoke Lin Xiao. Otherwise, there's no reason Lin Xiao would hit him out of the blue.
"What happened?" Huang Xingcheng asked coldly.
Huang Xinglong shot a pompous glare at Lin Xiao and Pei Donglai, his expression screaming, "You two pieces of trash are fucking dead meat."
"Bro, that chick tried to seduce me, wanted me to pay for some fun! But a righteous person like me would never pay for that. So she got pissed and called her brother, and then this filthy beggar showed up too!" Huang Xinglong complained pitifully.
But Huang Xingcheng's face turned ashen. He knew his brother was full of shit.
Nine times out of ten, he was the one trying to bully that girl, and her brother showed up. Though I don't know how Lin Xiao got involved, I know this mess won't be easy to clean up.
Seeing Huang Xingcheng remain silent, Huang Xinglong continued, "Bro, why are you just standing there? Get these pieces of trash for me! They're bullying our Huang Family, every last one of them should..."
SMACK!!!
The next second, Huang Xinglong was clutching his head, staring bewilderedly at Huang Xingcheng.
"Bro... why did you hit me?"
"Shut up! You're just a bastard of the Huang Family, and all you ever do is cause trouble!"
*What? Huang Xinglong is a bastard?*
The onlookers exploded into an uproar, immediately beginning to point and whisper.
Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Huang Xinglong wished a crack in the ground would swallow him whole. Still, he asked defiantly, "Bro, why did you hit me? I'm not the one in the wrong!"
"Shut up and apologize!" Huang Xingcheng roared.
Hearing that he had to apologize, Huang Xinglong grew indignant. "I did nothing wrong, so I won't apologize! Even if I'm a bastard, I'm still part of the Huang Family! I'm the one who got bullied, and if you won't help me, fine, but to side with this trash... Huang Xingcheng, you may be my older brother, but I'm telling Father about this! We'll see who he deals with then!"
Huang Xingcheng was so infuriated by this fool that he felt like crying.
Ignoring the brain-dead Huang Xinglong, he hurried over to Lin Xiao and said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. It is our Huang Family's fault for not disciplining our own. Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory resolution to this matter."
The onlookers stared, dumbfounded. No one could believe that the eldest young master of the Shengjing Huang Family would be so deferential to a beggar.
Pei Donglai was also surprised. I thought Lin Xiao would be in trouble when Huang Xingcheng arrived, but I never expected this... his attitude is so respectful. He had always known Lin Xiao's background was impressive, but at this moment, he suddenly realized it was likely far more formidable than he had ever imagined.
Lin Xiao watched Huang Xingcheng with a placid smile.
"A satisfactory resolution? Huang Xingcheng, tell me, how exactly do you plan to satisfy me?"
Even though he's smiling, I know he's angry, Huang Xingcheng thought. Very angry. He recalled the terrifying power Lin Xiao had revealed during their first encounter. The memory sent a shiver down his spine.
Without another word, he turned, walked back to Huang Xinglong, and started raining slaps down on his head and face.
Huang Xinglong screamed in misery, but his mouth remained defiant. "I'm calling Father! I'll let him sort you out!"
"Go on, call him! If you don't learn your lesson today, who knows what kind of trouble you'll cause the family in the future!"
Sobbing, Huang Xinglong began to dial his phone.
Soon, the call connected.
"Dad! Aren't you going to do something about Bro? He's going to beat me to death!"
It was unclear what the person on the other end said.
Huang Xinglong's pathetic voice followed. "I just hit on a girl, it's not like I committed some unforgivable crime! Dad, you have to teach him a lesson for me!"
After another unheard response from the other end, Huang Xinglong haughtily handed the phone to Huang Xingcheng.
Huang Xingcheng took it. Ignoring whatever the person on the other end was saying, he stated coldly, "Huang Xinglong has caused a terrible disaster. He's offended someone."
"Who?"
"Mr. Lin."
The person on the other end fell silent in shock. After their last incident, Huang Xingcheng had made a special trip home to tell his father all about it. So, the moment he heard the surname 'Lin,' he knew exactly who his son meant.
"Pass the phone to that brain-dead Huang Xinglong!"
Huang Xingcheng handed the phone back.
Huang Xinglong snorted disdainfully and took it.
It was unclear what was said on the other end, but Huang Xinglong's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
The next second, he knelt down stiffly before Lin Xiao.
