The Crazy Son-In-Law

“This young man is too impulsive, he’s just making things uncomfortable for himself. Why does he insist on inviting trouble?” A customer lamented.

“An apology wouldn’t cost him a kilo of flesh.”

“Get lost.” Xiao Shun looked at the bald man with a cold face and spat out two words.

“You’re looking for death!”

The bald man, grinding his teeth, bellowed and swung a punch towards Xiao Shun’s face.

Just as the massive fist neared his nose, Xiao Shun dodged, the fist barely grazing his cheek.

The bald man was slightly taken aback. “No wonder you’re so cocky. Seems like you’ve had some training, got some skills. But you should know, even those who can swim can drown. With your half-baked kung fu, you won’t even know how you die.”

The bald man was Huo Yuchang’s bodyguard. Over the years, he had traveled with him to many places and encountered numerous individuals who thought they were amazing just because they knew a bit of martial arts. They all fell under his hands.

So, he naturally didn’t take Xiao Shun’s minor tricks seriously.

Xiao Shun, likewise, didn’t take the bald man seriously. A man who couldn’t even be called a practitioner, relying on a bit of fighting skills and brute strength, he could kill him with a single finger.

The bald man attacked with punches and kicks, moving in a dazzling flurry, exuding an imposing momentum.

Xiao Shun, however, darted left and right with agility. The bald man, panting heavily, couldn’t even touch him, which left him feeling somewhat annoyed and embarrassed. It seemed like he had met a tough opponent today.

Even those spectators who didn’t understand martial arts could now discern some nuances.

“This young man is quite skilled. It looks like he was on the defensive, but the big guy hasn’t landed a single hit.”

“That’s what a true master looks like. I feel like the young man is deliberately toying with him.”

“No wonder he dared to challenge Huo Yuchang. Great skill begets great courage. Look at how green Huo Yuchang’s face has turned.” Someone whispered apprehensively.

Indeed, Huo Yuchang had also noticed that Chai Gang was no match for this youngster.

At this point, he bellowed at his security guards with a face as dark as iron, “What the hell are you standing around for? Get him, kill the bastard!”

The guards looked at each other, somewhat at a loss. They were wearing uniforms and Xiao Shun was their customer. If someone took photos or videos and spread them around, it would greatly harm their store’s reputation.

Even the head of the security team hesitated for a moment.

“What are you looking at? Get him! Are you ignoring Mr. Huo’s orders? You’re all fired tomorrow!”

Only then did the guards, with hardened faces, take out their batons and swarm forward.

Xiao Shun’s eyes hardened, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. He moved in a blur, kicking the bald man in the chest.

His burly body flew through the air like a crumpled newspaper in the wind, hurtling towards the guards.

In front of them, he seemed like a wall crashing down.

A dark shadow descended from the sky, knocking over the three leading men with a thud. They lay sprawled on the ground, emitting a series of wretched screams.

Xiao Shun was able to kick Chai Gang, a hefty figure, so far. The remaining guards didn’t dare to advance.

The head of the security team swallowed involuntarily, unsure of what to do.

The bald man felt like a few of his ribs had been broken by the kick. He writhed in unbearable pain on the ground, resembling a dying shrimp.

The observing diners were dumbstruck. They had only seen such scenes on TV, this was their first time witnessing it in real life. They even forgot to take pictures.

Xiao Shun straightened his clothes and turned to look at Huo Yuchang.

He saw Huo Yuchang standing there with a shocked expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Feeling Xiao Shun’s gaze, he came back to his senses and said with a forced smile, “Young man, you’ve got good skills. I admit I misjudged you today. Tell me, how do you want to settle this? As long as it’s not too outrageous, I’d like to befriend you.”

Huo Yuchang thought to himself, this young man had exceptional skills. If he could recruit him to be his bodyguard, it would definitely give him a boost, and at least his security issues would be addressed when he was out and about. Chai Gang was also not bad, but compared to this young man, he paled in comparison.

“You’re not qualified,” said Xiao Shun, glancing at him and smiling faintly.

Huo Yuchang’s face changed abruptly. “Young man, don’t refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit…” Before he could finish his words, a foot kicked his chest. Suddenly, he felt as if he had been hit with a large sledgehammer in the chest, as if his internal organs were about to be shaken out of his body.

With a bang, he retreated several steps and fell to the ground face up.

Xiao Shun’s kick was not full strength, but it caught Huo Yuchang off guard. By the time he came to his senses, Xiao Shun’s foot was already on his chest.

The few female waitresses who were watching screamed, and the security guards and diners were also shocked. This guy was fearless, daring to hit Huo Yuchang?

“Make way! What’s going on?”

At this time, a young man in a suit and tie pushed through the crowd, followed by a middle-aged man who looked a bit like Huo Yuchang.

The middle-aged man gave a deep look at Huo Yuchang, who was wailing on the ground.

Then he turned his sharp gaze to Xiao Shun and said in a deep voice, “Brother, let’s talk it out and let him go first.”

The middle-aged man who was speaking was Huo Yuchang’s brother and the owner of this restaurant, Huo Yuming.

The restaurant manager had rushed to tell him that Huo Yuchang had been beaten, and he had been somewhat incredulous. Who would dare to move against Huo Yuchang here, wasn’t that seeking death?

On his way here, the restaurant manager had already told him what had happened, so he didn’t need to ask more questions now.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Can I now eat a quiet meal in your restaurant?” Xiao Shun asked calmly.

“You hit my brother,” said Huo Yuming.

“So what?”

“Do you think you’re great because you know some martial arts? Do you know who’s backing my shop? I can make one call and have you disappear without a trace, believe it or not?” Huo Yuming threatened.

“No matter who’s backing it, they can’t protect him today,” said Xiao Shun.

“Bring me a table of your restaurant’s signature dishes, I’ll eat while I wait for you to call someone, doesn’t that sound good? So many people are watching, it’s bad for your business, isn’t it?”

“You’re courting death,” Huo Yuming sneered.

“You’ve heard of the Pearl Commercial Chamber, haven’t you?”

Pearl Commercial Chamber, Xiao Shun understood as soon as he heard it, no wonder these Huo brothers were so arrogant. Oh, no, it seems I’m the more arrogant one…

I’m arrogant because that’s my character, I have the protagonist’s aura, okay? What are you being arrogant about!

Huo Yuming saw Xiao Shun hesitate for a moment and thought that mentioning the Pearl Commercial Chamber had intimidated him.

Even the crowd of onlookers changed their expressions slightly when they heard Pearl Commercial Chamber. Who didn’t know about Stillwater’s four great families now?

With the withdrawal of the Sikong family from Stillwater, many families were no longer as prominent as before. Instead, the Pearl Commercial Chamber had risen from the underworld and become a well-known force in Stillwater.
