Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 278 - 281 Give Me Some Face

(The update today is later than usual, I’m really very sorry for the delay—it was due to some unavoidable matters!)

——————————————

"Your 200,000 is settled, but you have frightened my senior sister. For her medical expenses and the loss of her time, considering how young and beautiful she is, and adding her smart and astute character, let’s conservatively estimate her lifetime earnings at 10 billion. I’ve calculated the time you just wasted; it amounts to 580,000 in total. Add to that the medical expenses, psychological compensation, and various other sums, the total comes to 1.25 million. To round down, you owe 1.2 million. Once you subtract your 200,000, you still need to pay 1 million."

Xiao Yi looked quietly at the arrogant young man, watching as he finished laughing and speaking, then slowly spoke and reached out his hand. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Counter extortion!

Counter blackmail!

So it turned out that this kid had so readily agreed to pay the 200,000 because he was waiting for this moment, not because he could afford it, but because he intended to counter blackmail!

At that moment, everyone finally understood!

But not a single person dared to cheer for him; they just stared at him dumbfounded.

Did he really dare to counter blackmail these rich second-generation kids?

Had he gone mad?

Couldn’t he see that these people were not simple, not simple at all!

The arrogant young man and all his companions were also stunned. Even Qian Xiaofeng was frozen in shock. Nobody had anticipated that Xiao Yi would dare to do such a thing. After a good while, they came back to their senses, each looking at Xiao Yi as if he were an idiot.

Li Zijie, on the other hand, watched Xiao Yi with schadenfreude, sneering inwardly. Kid, just wait and see, this time, you’ll definitely die without knowing how. You actually have the gall to say such things in front of the Qian family, to threaten a member of the Qian family!

Although the Qian family’s roots aren’t in G City, for them to crush a country bumpkin like Xiao Yi in G City would still be effortless!

Zhang Yuhuan was also startled for a moment, but unlike the others, who stared at Xiao Yi as if he were an idiot, she looked at him standing calmly to one side and saw a faint glimmer of something different in his eyes. She caught a glimpse of intense anger in those tranquil and beautiful eyes when she glanced at the group of profligate heirs across from her.

"Good boy, you’ve got guts, you’ve really got guts!"

The arrogant young man was stunned for quite a while before he finally recovered, looking at Xiao Yi who was stretching out his hand toward himself and turning blue with anger. Pointing at Xiao Yi, he repeatedly commended him for having guts.

"I am aware that I have guts, no need for you to stress it. Just give me the money," Xiao Yi said, casually waving away the young man’s finger. He liked fingers pointed at him as little as he did guns.

After understanding the ins and outs of the situation and seeing through the young man’s intentions, Xiao Yi also knew that today’s matter was unlikely to end as amicably as he had naively hoped before.

Since things could not be resolved amicably, there was no longer any need for him to be polite or to keep his patience with them.

"Kid, are you blackmailing us?"

Qian Xiaofeng’s face darkened in an instant, his tone turning ominous as he pushed up his glasses, a biting cold light in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yi.

Qian Xiaofeng’s status was evidently extraordinary. As soon as he spoke, everyone including the young man looked toward him, none speaking.

"Correct, I am blackmailing you!"

Against everyone’s expectations, Xiao Yi didn’t beat around the bush or intend to argue. He nodded directly, crisply admitting it with such composure and equanimity, as if what he was talking about wasn’t extortion and the people he faced were not a bunch of arrogant second-generation heirs with powerful backgrounds and inscrutable resources, but only as if he was asking a neighbor if they had had their meal.

The faces of everyone present changed, especially the suited bodyguards; their eyes turned cold as they looked at Xiao Yi.

"Do you know who we are?"

Qian Xiaofeng’s face twitched violently. He had not expected Xiao Yi to be so disrespectful. His look grew colder and a smirk touched his lips, "Do you really think that just because you have met the Han family once, you can do whatever you want?"

"I don’t need to know who you are, nor do I need to rely on anyone. All I know is that if you don’t pay up, you’ll face my slap today!"

Xiao Yi glanced briefly at Qian Xiaofeng without getting angry at his blatant contempt, speaking in a very calm tone.

"What an arrogant claim, I’d like to see just how big your slap is!"

A bodyguard standing near Qian Xiaofeng sneered and threw a fierce punch at Xiao Yi.

"Be careful!"

Seeing the bodyguard’s threatening punch, Zhang Yuhuan cried out in alarm.

Xiao Yi gently held Zhang Yuhuan’s hand, giving her a comforting smile before turning back with a smirk to face the oncoming punch from the bodyguard, his lips curling with scorn.

The stupid kid isn’t dodging?

Does he actually intend to take the punch head-on?

As Xiao Yi stood still, awaiting the bodyguard’s punch, a sneer appeared in the corner of Qian Xiaofeng’s eyes—pure suicide!

How well his bodyguard could punch, he knew best. That punch was strong enough to break a sturdy brick—not the kind you see in circus performances or on TV, but genuinely smash a brick!

What would be the consequences of such a punch landing on a person’s body?

Especially for someone with a small frame like Xiao Yi, could he withstand such a punch?

However, even before his thoughts had time to settle, and a sneer could emerge on his face, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

"Smack!"

Just when the bodyguard’s fist seemed certain to hit Xiao Yi, a crisp sound rang out, and with this crisp sound, the burly figure of the bodyguard, like a kite with its string cut, flew straight out, crashing into the luxury car that had been mentioned as damaged and worth more than two million. He tumbled over it and fell to the ground, unconscious.

The entire face swelled up instantly, and on one cheek, a handprint was glaringly red and vivid.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events!

Qian Xiaofeng was utterly dumbstruck; he had completely failed to see how Xiao Yi sent the bodyguard flying!

Even Zhang Yuhuan couldn’t help but reveal a face full of shock and disbelief, for Xiao Yi’s hand was holding hers, and she was standing right beside him. She had not seen how Xiao Yi had struck either!

"Everyone, attack together, take him down!"

It was unclear how much time had passed before the arrogant young man finally came to his senses, almost hysterically calling out to his subordinates, "Take him down, and I’ll take full responsibility! There will be a hefty reward for whoever does it!"

"Take him down!"

"Take him down!"

"..."

The bodyguards also snapped back to attention, their primal ferocity aroused, shouting as they charged towards Xiao Yi.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"..."

Watching a group of bodyguards, looking wild and ferocious, rushing towards herself and Xiao Yi, Zhang Yuhuan’s expression could no longer remain calm. Her face paled instantaneously, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She was about to suggest Xiao Yi leave first, but before she could speak, she felt the hand holding hers loosen, and then a series of slapping sounds ensued.

When her gaze moved forward, her eyes became utterly fixed in shock.

The group of fierce-looking bodyguards who had surrounded her just a moment ago were now scattered chaotically on the ground, writhing and moaning in pain, each with a swollen face marked by a vivid handprint.

And Xiao Yi stood calmly in place, his gaze filled with mockery as he looked at the remaining three heirs standing before him.

"Spare me... spare me... I’ll give you money... I’ll give it to you right away..."

The once arrogant young man, now looking at the disdainful smirk on the "country bumpkin" before him, couldn’t stop his legs from shaking. Even if he was slow to realize, he now knew that he had truly hit a snag; this guy had dared to extort him because he indeed had something to rely on!

As thoughts raced through his mind, he made a quick decision. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Money is an external possession, but life is his own!

As the ancient saying goes, "the wise adapt and conquer," and moreover, knowing that this kid was a student from Z University, he couldn’t run away. So, the million he would pay could ultimately be recovered!

"Spare you?"

Xiao Yi laughed as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world, his mouth curving into a disdainful smile as he glanced at the young man, along with Qian Xiaofeng and Li Zijie.

"Xiao Yi... We are all friends of Han Lu; there’s no need to make things so stiff," Qian Xiaofeng finally regained his composure from the shock, and with a complex look in his eyes, he spoke.

He never expected Xiao Yi’s martial skill to be so formidable. Those bodyguards were all top-notch experts, and yet they were taken down by Xiao Yi without even surviving a single round!

Hearing Qian Xiaofeng’s words, a smirk that was neither completely smiling nor frowning appeared on Xiao Yi’s face as he stared at him, remaining silent.

At that moment, he had made up his mind; no matter what, he had to slap Qian Xiaofeng.

He was now almost entirely certain; this was undoubtedly a despicable person!

Even if it meant offending the Han Family in the future, he was determined to deliver that slap!

"Xiao... Yi, we know each other. Let’s stop here today, give me some face, alright?" Qian Xiaofeng, feeling a bit faint under Xiao Yi’s gaze, still tried to brace himself and said.

"Give you face?"

Xiao Yi smiled, a radiant smile, "I’ll give you this face!"
