Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 466: Shut Up
Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Shut Up
Everyone turned their heads to look over at Xie Lei.
Lin Xue called out, "Senior Brother, you’re so cool! Quickly knock these two ignorant fools to the ground!"
The rest of the apprentices were also full of anticipation, believing that with the eldest senior brother stepping in, these two hijackers were definitely in for misfortune.
"With eldest senior brother making a move, this matter is as good as settled. These two guys seem to have some skills, but they’re certainly no match for the eldest senior brother."
"That’s right, attempting to hijack a plane with the eldest senior brother present, these two are out of luck."
...
Xie Lei’s vanity instantly exploded. He felt like a savior in the eyes of everyone, probably being worshiped to death by them now.
He lifted his head and looked at Liu Kuan with a contemptuous look, saying coldly, "Let that flight attendant go, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"
Liu Kuan threw the flight attendant into the aisle, exchanged a glance with Liu Zhai, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter,
Liu Kuan stared at Xie Lei and asked, "What, you want to play the hero here?"
Xie Lei disdainfully said, "I’m just giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf. If you don’t listen, I can’t do anything about it."
Liu Zhai burst into laughter, "This little brat really loves to act tough, huh? Even using lines learned from TV on us. Do you think that makes you look cool?"
As he spoke, he had already walked toward Xie Lei.
Lin Xue said indignantly, "You two ignorant fools, my senior brother is amazing. It’s easy for him to deal with you two scumbags. Just wait until the real fight starts, we’ll see if you can still laugh!"
Xie Lei said, "Xue, there’s no need to reveal my strength to them. They’ll figure it out when they’re on their knees begging for mercy."
Having said that, Xie Lei no longer hesitated and commenced his attack, aiming to subdue Liu Zhai first.
His fist struck at Liu Zhai’s face.
Liu Zhai simply spat and, before Xie Lei’s fist could land, had already slapped him across the face.
A smack echoed.
Xie Lei’s body staggered, collapsing heavily onto the aisle floor.
Liu Zhai’s slap was incredibly fast, the crowd didn’t even see what had happened before Xie Lei was already on the ground.
Xie Lei himself was even more bewildered, the world spinning around him from the slap. He never expected that with his minor accomplishment in Inner Strength, he wouldn’t even see how the opponent had struck.
He gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground, ready to take on Liu Zhai again, only for Liu Zhai to directly release a wave of Inner Strength, striking Xie Lei’s stomach.
Xie Lei sat back on the floor with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood, then looked at Liu Zhai with a face full of terror, exclaiming, "Releasing Inner Strength externally... You... you’re a Transformation Realm expert!"
Liu Zhai’s face revealed a malicious smile, "You’re just realizing that now? Otherwise, do you think we would hijack a plane without even bringing weapons?"
Xie Lei was filled with fear, his body trembling uncontrollably. Had he known these two were experts of the Transformation Realm, he wouldn’t have volunteered himself even if he were beaten to death.
Lin Xue and the other apprentices saw how easily Xie Lei was defeated by Liu Zhai, their faces instantly turning several shades paler, all becoming jittery and too scared to speak.
The surrounding crowd was also shocked by Liu Zhai’s displayed skills, especially his move of releasing Inner Strength that seemed even more formidable than a gun.
Among the audience, there were quite a few who had some understanding of Martial Arts and knew that experts of this realm were simply not something that ordinary people like them could contend with.
Together, everyone on the airplane might still not match up to even one of them.
"I thought that since this guy dared to stand up, his strength must not be weak. But he didn’t even withstand a single slap. Tell me, if you don’t have the ability, why bother putting on this act?"
"Exactly, when he stood up just now, I thought we had hope. But look at this, it’s just a waste of my emotions."
...
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Xie Lei suddenly felt like he had nowhere to hide his face.
At that moment, Liu Kuan called out loudly, "Everyone, prepare all your valuable belongings for me, and turn on your phones, connect to the plane’s WiFi, and transfer money to this account! All of you who can afford to fly, you must be fairly wealthy. Today, anyone who transfers less than ten thousand will be thrown out of the plane!"
He then took out a piece of paper with an account number written on it, displaying it in front of everyone.
The crowd dared not delay and quickly started to take out their valuable items as instructed by Liu Kuan - after all, no one wanted to be thrown off the plane.
While Liu Kuan was busy collecting money, Liu Zhai’s gaze fell on Xie Lei, Lin Xue, and the others.
He glanced at Xie Lei, then yanked Lin Xue out and took her under control.
"If I’m not wrong, some of you come from powerful backgrounds. Contact your elders immediately and have them gather funds. I want ten billion. If the amount is any less, I will end this girl’s life on the spot."
Xie Lei’s face went pale, and he quickly got up, saying anxiously, "Big brother, please don’t be rash. I beg you, don’t hurt her, whatever conditions you put forward we will comply."
Now, he had completely lost his previous composure and had become a submissive coward, utterly at the mercy of others.
Liu Zhai threw a satellite phone to Xie Lei. "If you don’t want her to get hurt, then hurry up and make the call to gather the money. Don’t waste time!"
Xie Lei’s eyes darted around, and he said tentatively, "Big brother, truth be told, the girl you’ve captured is the granddaughter of Lin Zhendong, the Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Arts Alliance. With your formidable strength, you must be aware of the power of the Martial Arts Alliance. Perhaps..."
Liu Zhai snorted coldly, another burst of Inner Strength hitting Xie Lei, and he shouted, "Since I’ve already hijacked a plane, do you think I would be afraid of the Martial Arts Alliance? Are you trying to threaten me? Do you believe I would defile this girl first and then throw her off the plane? Let’s see if the people from the Martial Arts Alliance can find me!"
Lin Xue, hearing this, burst into tears, her eyes filled with despair as she stared at Xie Lei, "Senior brother, save me, I don’t want to be defiled, and I don’t want to die..."
Xie Lei, enduring the intense pain in his body, knew that the two hijackers didn’t care about the Martial Arts Alliance’s pursuit. He quickly said, "Big brother, please calm down. I’m contacting the elders right away to have them gather the funds swiftly."
As he spoke, he picked up the satellite phone and began to contact people from the Martial Arts Alliance.
Liu Kuan was collecting money and valuables from the passengers on the plane when he suddenly shouted, "Those who haven’t given money yet, quickly take out all the cash and valuables you have on you! This is the money to save your life. Anyone who doesn’t give it up, I will start throwing people out of the plane!"
At this moment, Chen Fan was at a critical moment in his breakthrough, and the chaos in the cabin had already irritated him, but he held back as he was about to make his breakthrough.
Now, with Liu Kuan’s sudden outburst, he had reached the limit of his patience and shouted sternly, "Shut up!"
His voice rolled like thunder, silencing everyone in the cabin instantly.
Chen Fan seized this moment of silence to begin the final step of his breakthrough.
Inside his body, the ninth Golden Core slowly spun as power continuously gathered above it. Eventually, all the power merged into the Golden Core, inducing changes within it, and before long, it had reached the Second Grade Golden Core level.
With this, all nine of Chen Fan’s Golden Cores within his body had achieved the Second Grade level, and he officially stepped into the ranks of the Second Grade Golden Core Realm.
Given that he was breaking through on the plane, he had set up restraints around himself in advance to control the dissipation of his breakthrough power, to prevent any harm to the passengers on the plane.
He took a deep breath, absorbed all the suppressed power within the restraints into his body, then slowly exhaled, opening his eyes.
A flash of golden light flickered and disappeared from his eyes.
"I’ve finally made the breakthrough. These people are really noisy," Chen Fan muttered to himself.
At that moment, Liu Kuan had walked over to Chen Fan, cursing, "Kid, you’ve got some guts. Didn’t you see how that show-off was begging me just now? Or are you looking to be the first one I throw off this plane?"
Chen Fan looked at Liu Kuan and asked, "Are you hijacking the plane?"
Liu Kuan couldn’t help but laugh, "What do you think? Hurry up and hand over all the money you have, or I’ll throw you out right now!"
Chen Fan replied indifferently, "Sorry, I have no money."
Not far away, Xie Lei frowned, thinking what is this coward trying to do now?
To ensure that Liu Kuan and Liu Zhai wouldn’t hurt anyone, he quickly said to Chen Fan, "What are you doing at a time like this, pretending to be clueless? These two are masters of the Transformation Realm, beings you cannot contend with. Even if you want to feel significant, pick the right moment. Hurry up and give them your money so at least your life can be spared!"
Lin Xue, somewhat anxiously, said, "You idiot, why are you causing trouble at a time like this? Do you want to prove you’re not a coward? Hurry up and give them the money, I don’t want to be killed because of you!"
Chen Fan felt rather bewildered. When he was making his breakthrough, he was too distracted to pay attention to the events in the cabin. Until now, all he knew was that two individuals with the strength of the Transformation Realm were hijacking the plane.
Liu Kuan glared at Chen Fan, "Did you hear that? They’re urging you to pay. If you don’t pay, I will throw ten people out with you, and the other nine will be your funeral companions!"
The faces of the passengers changed dramatically.
Xie Lei called out to Chen Fan in desperation, "Do you want to get us all killed?"
Chen Fan shrugged, "I can only say, you’re unlucky to be hijacking a plane with me on it."
Xie Lei was speechless, thinking, why is this guy starting to show off like I did earlier? Didn’t he see what happened to me when I did?
However, the next second, he saw Chen Fan’s figure disappear from his seat, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Liu Kuan.
A loud ’bang’ sounded.
The passengers couldn’t see what had just happened.
When they came back to their senses, they discovered that Liu Kuan was already on the floor.
