Chapter 1842 - 1928: The Top Boss
"Get two hundred men here now and clean up these punks! I’ll send you the location!"
Su Xuan hung up after speaking, then sent over the address, while the Boss laughed heartily.
"You country bumpkin, bragging like that won’t get you anywhere. As if you could actually summon Master Xia!"
"Oh, seems like you know Xia Yangyi!"
Su Xuan curiously asked, thinking that things would get lively soon.
"Of course, Master Xia is the kingpin of the Imperial Capital, who wouldn’t know him? You bumpkin, you really dare to brag!"
This Xia Yangyi is the current boss of the Redemption Sect, which has been growing fast, not just due to Dugu Lang’s efforts but mainly because of Su Xuan’s financial backing.
A few minutes later, urgent footsteps echoed outside, and a dozen men in black barged in, immediately throwing aside the guards without a word. The Boss was startled and before he could react, felt a pain on his skull and was yanked up by his hair from behind.
"Who dares cause trouble here!"
"Ah..."
The Boss let out roars, about to curse furiously, but his face turned ghostly pale, because the one grabbing his hair was none other than Xia Yangyi, the kingpin of the Imperial Capital.
"Master... Xia..."
In that instant, he was so scared he nearly soiled himself, never expecting Xia Yangyi to truly show up.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Xia Yangyi landed over a dozen fierce slaps on his face, leaving it bruised and swollen. The guy started questioning his own existence before being kicked to the ground, while two hundred more men charged in. The Boss’s hundred or so subordinates were so terrified they dropped their machetes and crouched on the ground clutching their heads.
"Mr. Su, apologies for the delay!"
"Xia Yangyi, find out who they are, wipe them all out!"
Su Xuan said coldly.
"No problem, it’s just a small gang in the Imperial Capital, though they did pick quite a dominating name, Dragon Slayer Association. This guy is their leader, called Dragon Slayer. Should we take them out now?"
Xia Yangyi said with nonchalance.
"Master Xia, have mercy, please have mercy. Just treat me like a lapdog, I’m a dog, just treat me like a pile of dung!"
At this moment, Dragon Slayer continuously kowtowed, his head bleeding. He understood how terrifying this situation was for him!
The Redemption Sect could finish him in no time, being the kingpin in this region.
"You’re less than dung, and you dare to pose as a boss in front of Mr. Su!"
Xia Yangyi said, kicking Dragon Slayer hard in the stomach. Dragon Slayer nearly fainted from the pain but continued to plead.
"Yes, yes, I’m less than dung. Master Xia, please spare a person like me who is less than dung, so as not to dirty your elder’s shoes!"
Dragon Slayer clearly knew that with the intervention of Master Xia from the Redemption Sect, things were really bad. Even if he were killed tonight, it would just add another corpse in the wild.
"Mr. Su, sorry for the interruption!"
As Xia Yangyi spoke...
"Take all these guys away, from now on, there’s no more Dragon Slayer Association. You there, wrap this Dragon Slayer in a sack and toss him into the reservoir!"
Xia Yangyi said icily.
"No, Master Xia, I beg you, I really don’t want to die, Master Xia just treat me as dog dung!"
Dragon Slayer was so frightened that he wet himself, but Xia Yangyi remained unsympathetic. Su Xuan had called him to bring people over, though he didn’t know exactly what happened here, he knew something big was up.
"Master Xia, I didn’t do this, I was just helping Young Master Qi Ye, please spare me!"
As Xia Yangyi’s two men brought up the sacks, Dragon Slayer started to faint, realizing it might indeed be the end for him this time.
"Wait!"
Su Xuan said, and the two subordinates stopped instantly. Su Xuan took off his helmet, lit a cigarette, truly resembling a construction boss. Dragon Slayer still didn’t understand what was happening here!
"Who’s Young Master Qi Ye?"
Su Xuan remembered that Dong Jianwen had mentioned to him that Dragon Slayer had his eyes on Xiaoyu, leading to this whole mess. So naturally, Su Xuan didn’t mind letting this scum meet his end, as eliminating him would be a service to the community. But hearing what he said, it seemed there was someone else behind it.
"Young Master Qi Ye... I didn’t say anything!"
Dragon Slayer hurriedly lied, and Su Xuan sneered.
"No worries, take him away. Oh, and you don’t need to dump him in the reservoir. Wrap him in a sack, tie a rock to it, and toss him into the sewage pit!"
Su Xuan spoke decisively!
"..."
Xia Yangyi and his men inadvertently sweated, realizing the Boss was indeed ruthless. Initially, Xia Yangyi wondered if he misunderstood the boss’s intentions, but the boss turned out to be even harsher, opting to dump him in a sewage pit!
"Yes, Boss!"
The two men responded and prepared to act.
"No, no, I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"
In an instant, Dragon Slayer was so terrified he almost crapped himself. Thrown into a sewage pit, god, who on earth is this person!
"Young Master Qi Ye is the son of Zuo Sansi, the jewel family in the Imperial Capital. His name is Zuo Qiye, Young Master Qi. This Young Master Qi has taken a liking to Miss Xiaoyu..."
Dragon Slayer quickly confessed everything. Only then did Su Xuan realize that Xiaoyu wasn’t an ordinary girl. Her parents were actually wealthy, though not from a super prestigious family, they were business people.
Xiaoyu’s parents naturally wanted their daughter to marry a proper and suitable son-in-law, hence favoring Young Master Qi, the son of a jewelry tycoon. But Xiaoyu had no feelings for Qi Ye at all. Though they were acquainted, she only considered Young Master Qi as an older brother.
However, Zuo Qiye was quite the hypocrite, outwardly calm and gentlemanly, expressing respect for her choices and offering blessings even when meeting Deng Xiaolu.
This made Xiaoyu grateful towards Zuo Qiye. There was even a moment when she thought, had she met Deng Xiaolu before Zuo Qiye, she might have truly fallen for such a sincere gentleman.
Yet who would have thought it was all a facade? Zuo Qiye harbored a strong possessiveness since he first laid eyes on Xiaoyu, determined to have her. But Xiaoyu’s affection for a common soldier left him humiliated.
