Chapter 81: Situ Yueying's Despair!
"Black Dragon! How dare you cause trouble at Dream Bar?!"
Situ Yueying suddenly stood up, her high heels clicking sharply on the floor. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes burning with a fierce protectiveness as she glared unpleasantly at Black Dragon, the burly, towering man leading the group of intruders.
Situ Yuehe and the bouncers also gathered around Situ Yueying, forming a protective wall. They did not retreat an inch as they faced Black Dragon and his men, though the fear in their eyes was palpable.
Black Dragon was one of the notorious big shots in the Demon City's underworld, exceptionally skilled in Body Tempering martial arts. He was a human tank, with numerous subordinates at his beck and call. He had been at odds with the Dragon King Society for years, repeatedly causing trouble and attempting to seize territory.
However, he had been dealt with by the Dragon King Mr. Han before. He had been beaten into submission and had quieted down for a long time. Why did he dare to cause trouble now?
Situ Yueying didn't notice the fleeting look of fawning flattery in Black Dragon's eyes when he glanced past her at Shen Anyu.
Hearing Situ Yueying's questioning words, Black Dragon grinned. He revealed his pure white, chilling teeth in a predatory smile.
"Situ Yueying! Starting tonight, Dream Bar, and this entire bustling night market street, are all my, Black Dragon's, territory!"
"You'd better be sensible and get out! Or else, I'll beat you out!"
"What?!"
As Black Dragon's words fell, Situ Yueying, Situ Yuehe, and the others all changed their expressions.
They hadn't expected Black Dragon to be so arrogant, directly daring to seize territory and speaking such domineering threats. This was no ordinary troublemaking; this was a declaration of war.
Seeing such a scene, the bar's regular customers immediately fled in fear, abandoning their drinks and rushing for the exits, afraid of being caught in the crossfire of a gang war.
However, Qi Fan didn't leave. He stayed hidden behind a pillar, watching the scene with schadenfreude burning in his heart.
Shen Anyu and Situ Yueying stood together in the VIP area, both surrounded by Black Dragon's subordinates. Qi Fan smirked.
"Good! Beat him up! Teach that pretty boy a lesson!"
However, Qi Fan looked at Liu Mi with some worry in his heart. It would be fine if that Shen pretty boy was beaten to death—in fact, he hoped for it—but he hoped Mi Mi wouldn't get hurt.
Her skin was so fair and tender; if she got even a scratch, he would feel heartbroken.
However, when Qi Fan saw Liu Mi fearfully shrinking into Shen Anyu's embrace, her delicate body trembling against his, her two jade arms wrapped around Shen Anyu's arm for protection... his face darkened.
He felt extremely displeased. Jealousy surged like bile.
[Ding! Child of Destiny Qi Fan is jealous and displeased, plundering +8,686 Destiny Points!]
"Brother Shen... what should we do? Should we call the police?"
Liu Mi was extremely frightened now. She shrank into Shen Anyu's embrace, trembling like a leaf in the wind. Her face was pale with fright.
She was filled with regret. She regretted coming to Dream Bar. She had encountered a rival in love, Situ Yueying, and now a gang fight in the underworld. Why was she so unlucky?
If she had known, she would have just gone to a hotel with Brother Shen earlier. By now, she'd probably be enjoying a nice bath in a jacuzzi, safe and sound.
But now...
Shen Anyu patted Liu Mi's fragrant back, his touch firm and steady. He gently comforted her, his voice calm amidst the chaos.
"Mi Mi, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can touch you."
[Ding! Detected Destined Heroine Liu Mi's favorability +3, plundering +9,000 Destiny Points!]
Comforted by Shen Anyu's gentleness, Liu Mi gradually calmed down. She felt a strong sense of security envelop her entire body, radiating from him. She was no longer as afraid, only gazing stupidly at Shen Anyu with her beautiful eyes, her delicate body nestled in his embrace, unwilling to let go even slightly.
Shen Anyu was calm and composed. He was naturally no longer afraid.
Not to mention his own strength, which was enough to crush a [Grandmaster], even the bodyguards hiding around him, such as Aunt Xiao, were not people ordinary individuals could contend with.
Besides, this Black Dragon was his subordinate's subordinate's subordinate, arranged to come here by him. It was all a play.
Since they were already at Dream Bar, putting on a show wouldn't be a waste.
Shen Anyu watched Situ Yueying and the others, who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, with amusement in his heart.
At this moment, Situ Yueying was facing a crisis. Her expression was grave, her heart pounding against her ribs. She pursed her rosy lips as she looked at Black Dragon and his sneering men.
Her heart was heavy. Although both Black Dragon and she were at [Innate Peak] cultivation...
Black Dragon was a Body Tempering expert. He possessed an extremely strong [Physical Body]; even a heavily armored truck crashing into him couldn't injure him significantly.
Below a [Martial Arts Grandmaster], such a Body Tempering expert was almost invincible in a brawl. Situ Yueying, with her agile style, was no match for him in a confined space.
Moreover, Black Dragon had brought numerous men, and Situ Yueying was caught off guard; the bar only had a dozen or so capable fighters. How could they contend?
Thinking of this, Situ Yueying stalled for time by exchanging harsh words while subtly signaling her younger brother, Situ Yuehe, to notify Dragon King Mr. Han to come for support.
Shen Anyu watched this scene with a knowing smile. He knew that the Dragon King Mr. Han—that live-in son-in-law Han Qi—would not come to support. At least, not effectively.
Han Qi's strongest reliance, his adoptive father Tianfeng Ichiro, was currently helping him expand his influence in another region and couldn't return anytime soon.
As for Han Qi himself... he was currently at home, fetching foot-washing water and washing his mother-in-law's feet, enduring humiliation to maintain his cover. He couldn't get away easily.
As for Han Qi's other subordinates, they were no match for Black Dragon.
It had to be said, that golden reward, the [Nanometer Monitoring Robot], was truly too useful!
Whenever Shen Anyu met an important person, he would leave one on them. The opponent's every move was within Shen Anyu's control, making him invincible in terms of intelligence!
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
As time passed, Situ Yueying's heart grew increasingly heavy.
Especially when her younger brother, Situ Yuehe, whispered that Dragon King Mr. Han was currently unable to be reached, a flicker of despair flashed in Situ Yueying's beautiful eyes.
Black Dragon also received a signal from Shen Anyu via a subtle nod. He no longer lingered. He sneered at Situ Yueying:
"Situ Yueying! Stop dragging your feet! Be sensible and get out! Otherwise... hehe, I, Black Dragon, won't guarantee what I'll do to a pretty face like yours!"
In reality, he also coveted Situ Yueying's beauty, but how could he dare to snatch a woman from Young Master Shen? He still wanted to live a prosperous life.
"Black Dragon! How dare you bully my sister?! I'll fight you to the death!"
The hot-tempered Situ Yuehe could no longer tolerate it. He roared and directly charged towards Black Dragon and his men.
His strength was also at the [Innate Peak] stage, extremely powerful. With one kick, he sent a Black Dragon subordinate flying seven or eight meters away, crashing into a table. With a thunderous punch, he directly shattered another Black Dragon subordinate's sternum.
Seeing this scene, the morale of Situ Yueying's side greatly increased.
However, Black Dragon sneered. He didn't dodge. His dark, palm-sized hand, like a cattail-leaf fan, shot out and directly grabbed Situ Yuehe's shoulder.
With a backhand, he performed a suplex, slamming him heavily onto the ground!
BOOM!
The floor cracked. The surrounding windows vibrated with a booming sound, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.
"Black Dragon... you..."
Situ Yuehe's internal organs churned with blood from the fall. His eyes were about to split with rage, and he wanted to resist!
But Black Dragon stepped on Situ Yuehe's chest, pinning him down.
Crack!
His ribs cracked under the pressure. He couldn't get up!
Situ Yueying's beautiful eyes showed anxiety and panic. Her figure flickered, moving extremely fast as she charged towards Black Dragon to save her brother.
A cold, gleaming dagger had appeared in her hand at some point. She stabbed it towards Black Dragon's back with lethal precision!
Ding!
However, with a crisp sound, as if the dagger had struck metal plate, its tip shattered directly upon impact with his skin.
Situ Yueying was completely stunned, watching this scene in disbelief. Her hand went numb.
Black Dragon turned his head slowly and sneered:
"Hehehe! I've already broken through to [Body Tempering Grandmaster]! Even bullets can't pierce me! Situ Yueying, stop struggling!"
Situ Yueying looked at the shattered tip of the dagger in her hand. She looked at her younger brother Situ Yuehe being trampled on the ground by Black Dragon. She looked at the fierce-looking Black Dragon and his men surrounding them.
Despair immediately filled her beautiful eyes!
Just then, a calm voice suddenly rang out from the VIP booth, cutting through the tension.
"You're Black Dragon, right? Give me some Face and let them go!"
