Chapter 165: Let Me Check What Brand the Stool Is
Is it time to shine?
Are you sure it's not the time to court death?
That guy's a martial arts master, the kind who knows inner strength. If he pulls out an Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, we're all toast!
Gulp~
A bunch of lackeys stared at the chopsticks standing on the marble table through Li's hand, feeling a chill down their spines. Is this something a regular person could do?
"...…" At that moment, many were speechless. Are you sure this is an opportunity to shine? Why does it feel more like sending oneself to death? That guy's a martial arts master.
But seeing Li Kun in such a miserable state, if they don't act, these lackeys believe they'd end up worse than Li Kun, so to avoid his revenge, they must act.
"Brother, you go first. Seize this opportunity to shine; don't miss it!" One of the lackeys spoke.
"What about you guys?"
"Don't worry, we wouldn't dare to steal your thunder. Everyone knows Bear Brother is Li's favored guy!"
"You guys are so kind!" Bear showed disbelief. They usually saw him as a fool, and now they're suddenly so kind, sure there's no trap?
"You bastards! Hurry up and chop this guy into pieces!" At that moment, Li Kun howled, and the naive Bear shouted, "Brothers, grab your weapons and beat this guy to death!"
As his voice fell, Bear was the first to grab a chair. Now that Li Kun was furious, the other lackeys couldn't afford to slack off, at least they had to pretend.
"Throw the chairs!" Bear shouted, immediately tossing the chair toward Xiao Tianyu, but the other lackeys just pretended; their chairs didn't move, confusing Bear: "Why didn't you throw yours?"
"I'm checking the brand of this chair!"
"Me too!"
"Wow, it's Royal brand, throwing it would be a waste!"
"...…" Bear was speechless. Damn it, do you need to check the brand before hitting someone with a chair?
Crack~
Bang~
However, at this moment, the chair Bear threw exploded into splinters, swept by a gust, and Bear's chubby body flew like a bowling ball, smashing several tables.
Gulp~
Seeing this, the other lackeys swallowed hard. Damn, is he human? A god?
Bang bang bang~
The other lackeys dropped their chairs, pretending they were just bystanders.
The other restaurant patrons were once again flabbergasted, expressing terror. They've seen a lot of international blockbusters, but compared to Xiao Tianyu, those seem like trash.
This guy is so skilled, a pity he didn't become an action superstar; otherwise, those Hollywood international stars would all take a back seat.
"Hey boss, are you recruiting? Look at me, with my unique physique and handsome face, I'm a natural martial arts talent!"
"Your physique is unique, all skin and bones!"
"Don't hit below the belt; why reveal my flaws?"
"Just telling it like it is!"
"...…" As everyone chatted, Xiao Tianyu pushed away Gu Lingyue from his embrace, stepped forward to leave, and the restaurant manager initially wanted to stop Xiao Tianyu to demand compensation for the broken furniture, but recalling Xiao Tianyu's skills, he swallowed back his words.
Soon, under everyone's gaze, Xiao Tianyu walked out of the restaurant. Not long after he left, the 120 ambulance arrived.
Of course, this ambulance was called earlier by the restaurant manager, but the one to be rescued had swapped.
As Xiao Tianyu departed, Gu Lingyue snapped out of it, grabbed her purse, and chased toward the entrance.
...
In the restroom, a middle-aged man was still on the phone.
"General Long, I'm really not kidding. Today I found a great prospect. If nurtured well, he could be a future pillar of the nation!"
"What can you discover? Last time, you said you found a great prospect, and after a day's training in the Dragon Group, he ended up vomiting and having diarrhea!"
"This time it's true!" The middle-aged man said. Damn, finding a good prospect is quite an achievement.
"So you're saying last time was a trick?"
"Last... last time was also true; just this time is even truer, and I saw him stab a pair of chopsticks into the table!" The middle-aged man said.
"Last time you said someone could catch bullets with his bare hands. And what happened? He didn't catch the bullet and died with his legs kicking in the air after being shot!"
On the other end, Long Xiaoyun snorted coldly, clearly disbelieving. If it weren't for you being my brother-in-law, I'd have kicked you out of the Dragon Group. Some great prospect, my foot...
Then, Long Xiaoyun directly hung up the phone, leaving the middle-aged man bewildered. Why doesn't General Long believe me? Hmph~ I'll personally bring this guy to you, let's see what you have to say.
With that in mind, the middle-aged man left the restroom and returned to the restaurant, only to find the young man who was with him earlier still staring at Xiao Tianyu's table. However, besides the rescue team attending to Li Kun, there was no sign of Xiao Tianyu.
"Where's the person I asked you to monitor?" The middle-aged man asked.
"He's gone!" The young man replied earnestly.
"How did he leave?"
"He walked step by step! Not by plane or missile."
"I mean, how could you let him leave? And why didn't you follow him?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, the young man showed innocence: "You told me to monitor, not to track!"
"…..." Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked bewildered, thinking how dumb can one be, alive to increase population, dead to waste land.
"Hurry up and track him!" The middle-aged man shouted.
Saying this, the middle-aged man seemed to care little anymore, and immediately left the restaurant. His entire career was tied to Xiao Tianyu; how could he let him leave just like that?
...
Outside the restaurant, as Xiao Tianyu walked onto the road not long ago, a red sports car stopped before him. The window rolled down, and Gu Lingyue spoke: "Hey~ you, to repay you for helping me earlier, tell me where you're going, I'll give you a ride!"
"No need!" Xiao Tianyu bluntly refused.
"By the way, I'm Gu Lingyue, and what's your name?" Gu Lingyue seemed thick-skinned.
"...…" Xiao Tianyu ignored her, continuing his leisurely walk along the road, making Gu Lingyue indignant. Today she was being ignored by this jerk repeatedly.
So she pushed the door, got out of the sports car, and clicked her high heels while chasing Xiao Tianyu: "Hey, wooden block, I'm talking to you!"
Xiao Tianyu remained silent, as if he hadn't heard, leaving Gu Lingyue frustrated. What's with acting cool like this, is it really interesting? Is it true that in martial arts novels, the higher the skill, the lonelier the character?
