Return of the King, Dominating the City

"You really are a great father to me," Wu Xin muttered with tears in her eyes. "From today on, I am no longer your daughter, we are severing our father-daughter relationship."

"Yes, from today you’re indeed not his daughter anymore, but you have become my woman," the man said with a sinister chuckle.

"Let this old man pay off these debts. I’m not going to sell my body. As for whether you want to kill him or butcher him, it has nothing to do with me." After saying this, Wu Xin pushed the man in front of her, trying to push him away and escape from this place.

But the ideal is full and the reality is bony, not only did the man not move from Wu Xin’s push, but instead he grabbed her soft, smooth hand and laughed, "Look at this, people with education are different. Our hands, covered in calluses, can’t compare to hers."

The other rough men around praised their boss as a heroic figure, who not only had his own career but had also captured the beauty’s heart, although they did not know exactly how he had captured it.

"Since the beauty here mentioned that she and Old Man Wu have severed their father-daughter relationship, let’s tie up Old Man Wu, haha, what do you think if he sees me playing slapping games with his daughter, will he want to join in now that there’s no blood relation?" the man shamelessly laughed, and the others looked on with envy, given Wu Xin’s exceptional figure and appearance, they were unable to imagine the temptation she posed.

"Alright, seeing you guys look so pathetic, will I, after so many years of eating meat, not let my brothers drink soup? Let me tell you, I’ll start and later you guys will get your turn." The man laughed and cursed.

Upon hearing this, the subordinates felt immensely grateful. Damn, just a few sweet words and they get to play with a beauty – why wouldn’t they be thrilled.

They tied up Old Man Wu and threw him into a corner, then set out to prepare for fun with the beauty. It would be terrible to not be in good form when playing with the beauty.

But just then, the door that had been shut was kicked open. A young man dressed in casual clothes walked in, glanced around the room and smiled, "This place is quite...well, quite messy."

"You... how did you get here?" Wu Xin, seeing Song Yun’s indifferent expression, screamed, "Leave quickly, this isn’t a place you should be."

"Mistress, if this isn’t the place I should be, then where is?" Song Yun smirked and replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this mess. After all, I’ve eaten hot pot at your house so many times for free, consider this a way to repay you."

"You can’t beat them, they’re all gangsters," Wu Xin cried, tears flowing down continuously. Was the world really this fucked up? Her own father, who she had depended on for years, heartlessly sold her out, only for the youth who once saved her to now pull her out of Hell for a second time.

"I don’t like to see women cry in front of me because it makes me look incompetent," Song Yun said with a laugh as he patted Wu Xin’s smooth cheek. "Don’t worry, I’ll help you recover everything they owe you."

"Who are you, and how did you get in here?" Normally, people who came to this kind of underground gambling den were either acquaintances or newcomers brought by acquaintances, and they had to recite a passphrase upon entry. Someone like Song Yun, who came on his own, was truly an anomaly.

"Well, I just walked in step by step; it’s not like I flew in on a colorful cloud from heaven—this isn’t a movie," Song Yun said annoyed.

Hearing this witty remark, Wu Xin giggled through her tears, slowly forgetting that she was in the enemy’s lair – Wu Xin laughed, but the man was furious.

"Damn it, you dare to ruin my good time, Column Column? Shit, when it’s time to use this fucker, he’s nowhere to be found," the man cursed through gritted teeth. What a great opportunity this was; based on his years of experience in picking up girls, he believed that if he were more assertive and then added some threats and temptations, he couldn’t believe that Wu Xin would resist to the end.

But damn it, out of nowhere this Cheng Yaojin showed up, ruining everything. It’s like when a friend sends you a link saying it’s a great ’seed’ and after you spend hours downloading it, it turns out to be Jingang Hulwa. I’m all undressed, and you show me this?

The man was in a foul mood now; in such violent gangs, when they get angry, there were only two options: drink or vent – and he really wanted to beat Song Yun to vent his frustration. No, not just beat him; after the beating, he wanted to throw this ignorant kid into the sea.

"Are you talking about this ’Column’?" Song Yun extended his right hand, and one by one opened his fingers, revealing a black silk cloth in his palm. When the man opened it with an encouraging look from Song Yun, he found a piece of a little finger inside.

It still had a ring issued by his own organization on it. Seeing this, the man knew Column’s chances were slim. He squinted and stepped back two steps, bellowing, "Kill this brat."

The three underlings upon receiving the order, kicked towards Song Yun. They were also filled with resentment; damn it, if this kid hadn’t shown up, after the boss was done, it would be their turn. What’s this kid playing at jumping out to be the "hero saves the beauty"?

"Song Yun, be careful!" Wu Xin screamed loudly as she saw the hooligans’ fists nearly smashing into Song Yun’s face. As she closed her eyes, unwilling to watch, a series of thumping sounds and the man’s cursing reached her ears.

It seemed Song Yun was still no match; however, she shouldn’t let herself be a burden to him. Wu Xin opened her eyes and suddenly shouted, "Let him go; do as you wish with me."

Though she shouted it out, the scene before her eyes made her freeze; Song Yun was standing on the gangsters’ bodies, grinning roguishly at her. Thinking back to the embarrassing words she’d just shouted, she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Mistress, I told you I’d definitely rescue you today, there’s nothing and no one that can stop my resolve," Song Yun said smiling. When Wu Xin shouted those words earlier, Song Yun felt somewhat warm inside; a woman willing to sacrifice her own dignity to save him, that took a lot of courage.
