He Ate a Divine Dragon-Chapter 472 - 470: As if I Do Not Exist

SLAP!

A deafening crack resounded within the small security room, as sharp as a firecracker going off.

The young noble was sent flying, his body violently colliding with the hard wall of the security room with a dull thud before he fell heavily to the ground. The moment he landed, the piece of trash began to wail and scream in agony.

But Lin Xiao had no intention of stopping. He pounced on the man and began to beat the living daylights out of him.

"You bastard! How dare you bully my wife! Who the hell do you think you are!"

Seeing this, the other young nobles who had been ready to challenge Lin Xiao were instantly dumbfounded. They had seen ruthless men before, but never anyone this savage. Besides, they were just a group of spoiled brats who spent their days partying, drinking, and womanizing. They had never witnessed a scene like this.

After beating the man for several minutes, Lin Xiao finally stopped.

The scoundrel lay on the ground, barely alive. It seemed he could only inhale but not exhale. Despite his pitiful state, he wasn't going to die, but living wouldn't be easy either.

Lin Xiao could have killed him right then and there, but he didn't. If this man really was from the Han Family, then it was a matter for the Han Family to resolve themselves.

After dealing with the scum, Lin Xiao called Xiao Shixiong.

Xiao Shixiong picked up immediately.

"Come to the bar."

"Understood!"

Lin Xiao hung up and returned to his chair, sipping his tea as if nothing had happened. His expression was perfectly calm.

The other spoiled brats all had their heads bowed. The previously arrogant young men now looked completely crestfallen and utterly miserable.

After about ten minutes, Xiao Shixiong barged in with a group of men.

The young nobles, already terrified of Lin Xiao, practically started shaking like leaves when they saw Xiao Shixiong and his entourage. This was the King of the Southern Town, for God's sake. Everyone knew who he was.

"Boss, what are your orders?" Xiao Shixiong asked Lin Xiao respectfully.

BOOM!

At these words, the rich kids nearly wet themselves. Who would have believed that the King of the Southern Town, a man who held absolute power over all of Jiangnan, would address a filthy beggar as "Boss"? A wave of unprecedented terror washed over them.

"Take these pieces of trash away. Call their families and demand a ransom of 10,000,000 each. If they don't pay, find a quiet place and bury them alive."

Xiao Shixiong swept a cold glance over the young nobles.

"Take them away!"

A group of menacing men quickly pushed the brats out of the security room.

"Boss, what about this piece of trash? Bury him alive, or should we light him up like a human lantern?" Xiao Shixiong asked, gesturing to the man Lin Xiao had beaten.

"Take him back for now. I'll personally deliver him to Jinhai City tomorrow," Lin Xiao said coldly.

"Understood!"

Soon, Xiao Shixiong had his men drag the other piece of scum away.

And just like that, the turmoil was over.

Lin Xiao got up and walked back into the bar. The music inside was deafening, and everyone was enjoying themselves as if nothing had happened. Lin Xiao was very satisfied with this.

He went straight to Su Qingning's office.

Su Qingning had tried to go find Lin Xiao several times, but Shen Jingzhe stopped her each time. Shen Jingzhe knew Lin Xiao wouldn't let those thugs off easy. Since he had asked her to take Su Qingning away, it meant there were things he didn't want her to see. So, she had dutifully blocked her.

"Jing Zhe, I know you're worried about me, but I'm even more worried about Lin Xiao! That man said he's from the Han Family in Jinhai City. You might not know, but the Han Family is the most powerful family there; they're not people we can afford to offend. Let me go find Lin Xiao! I'm really afraid he'll get hurt!"

Shen Jingzhe was at a loss for words. Qingning, your husband is the Dragon Lord. When it comes to powerful backgrounds, who in the entire world could possibly compare to him?

But Shen Jingzhe didn't say this out loud. Seeing Su Qingning's extreme anxiety, she said, "Qingning, just wait a little longer. I believe Lin Xiao will handle everything. You have to have confidence in him."

"Of course I have confidence in him, but I'm afraid he'll be at a disadvantage!" Su Qingning said gravely.

Shen Jingzhe comforted her, "Don't worry. The person who could put him at a disadvantage hasn't been born yet."

Su Qingning was stunned for a moment. "Jing Zhe, why would you say that?"

"It's nothing, just a hunch. I feel that with Lin Xiao's intelligence and savvy, he'll definitely resolve this smoothly."

Su Qingning shook her head. "I do believe in my husband, of course, but I'm terrified he'll get hurt!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiao's voice came from outside the office.

"Silly girl, how could I possibly be at a disadvantage?"

As he spoke, Lin Xiao pushed the door open and walked in.

When Su Qingning saw Lin Xiao standing before her safe and sound, she immediately threw herself into his arms. But she didn't hug him. Instead, she began earnestly checking his body from head to toe.

Lin Xiao was getting a little overwhelmed by her small hands roaming all over him. "Honey, I'm really fine, don't worry!" he said quickly.

"You're really fine?" Su Qingning asked, still uncertain.

Lin Xiao laughed. "I'm really fine. Besides, you'd be able to tell with one look if I was hurt or not, right?"

Su Qingning stared at him for a moment. Seeing that Lin Xiao truly seemed unharmed, her anxious heart finally settled. She threw herself into his arms again, hugging him tightly this time.

"I was so worried you would be bullied," Su Qingning said, her voice filled with concern.

Lin Xiao hugged her tight. "Silly girl, don't worry. I reasoned with them, and everything is resolved now."

"Ah, it's resolved? How did you resolve it?"

"Oh, to avoid disturbing the other customers, I took them to the security office. We had a good talk where I laid out the facts for them. After some friendly communication, they finally saw the error of their ways and even shed tears of regret. They also insisted on compensating the bar for the damages they caused. The money should arrive tomorrow!"

Shen Jingzhe was stunned. She never expected Lin Xiao to be such a natural liar. If she had to guess, the scoundrel had definitely resorted to violence. Those thugs weren't the type to be swayed by reason alone.

Su Qingning was also a bit skeptical. "Husband, you're not lying to me?"

"Silly girl, why would I ever lie to you? In any case, they're bringing the money tomorrow. You'll see then if I was lying or not!"

Su Qingning was instantly thrilled. She wasn't excited about the money, but about the fact that Lin Xiao had managed to defuse the entire situation all by himself.

"Husband, you're amazing!" Su Qingning lifted her head to look at him, her smile as radiant as a flower. Her peach-blossom eyes seemed to sparkle as if stars were exploding within them, reflecting countless tiny images of him.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Honey, since I'm so amazing, don't I deserve a kiss as a reward?"

"Stop it, Jing Zhe is still here!" Su Qingning said coyly.

Shen Jingzhe grumbled, "It's fine, just pretend I'm not here."

Su Qingning grew even more bashful and burrowed deeper into Lin Xiao's embrace.

Just then, Lin Xiao's phone rang. The call was from Pei Donglai, and Lin Xiao answered it immediately.

"Captain, there's trouble again!"
