In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 339 Bullying goes too far
The Xie Clan Ancestral Hall is usually rather quiet and deserted.

By this time, a huge crowd had gathered.

There were at least a hundred people in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

There was a chair in the middle, and a dozen or so on each side below.

The room was now full of people.

Everyone else had to stand.

Many people were getting impatient as they looked at the empty chair in the center of the room.

Among those seated, one of them said with dissatisfaction, "Old Xie, you Xie people have quite the airs."

"Fine, so you, surnamed Xie, want the top spot? We'll let it slide for the sake of Chief Du."

"After all, you Xie guys aren't part of the underworld, so you don't have any say in the rules of the underworld."

"But aren't all of you influential figures in the underworld here? Are you all waiting here to play house with you?"

"What about people?"

Xie Laogua, sitting in the first chair on the right, had a big smile on his face.

He didn't change color despite the man's impolite question.

In the past, would the Xie family have had this confidence?

Not to mention being on equal footing with these people, I don't even have the right to meet them!

Iron Mudfish had been with the Iron Scale Gang for quite some time, but he had never even seen Du Fujiao's face more than a few times.

The few times I did manage to catch a glimpse of it were only from afar.

But what can we do?

Who can blame them when the Xie family's fortune is so overwhelming? It's as if their ancestral graves have been set on fire!
Such a person has emerged!
Wait?
Hmph, you're being generous by letting you see him.

Don't even mention sitting and waiting. If I weren't afraid he wouldn't like it, I'd make you kneel and wait, and you'd all have to wait obediently!

Xie Laogua was seething inside.

On the surface, however, he was all smiles and spoke to a burly man beside him, who appeared to be in his forties or fifties:
"Chief Du, I only risked everything to get this opportunity because of the years you've taken care of my Xie Qiumeng,"

"If you're not happy, you can leave now. It wasn't me who invited you here."

A flash of anger crossed Chief Du's eyes.

Old man, do you really think you're something special?
How dare you talk to me like that?

However, considering his situation, he didn't dare to lash out.

He had already sent people to investigate, and it was confirmed that one of the Xie family members did indeed hold an official position in the city, and it was said to be quite a high-ranking one.

Moreover, Chen Lingguan, the young master of the Chen family, also had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with the Xie family.

He had little access to the rumors circulating among the upper echelons of Leizhou.

However, he had once worked for Chen Lingguan, and through this connection, he made connections with some people and heard some rumors.

The rumors were outrageous, but he dared not completely ignore them.

What if?
If it's true, and he does something to the Xie family, and that young master Chen still has feelings for them, then he's finished.

If it weren't for this point, how could he possibly take this Xie family seriously?
To put it nicely, they are the Xie family, but in reality, they are just a bunch of nouveau riche who bully others in an urban village.

Thinking of this, he forced a smile and said to those around him, "Alright, everyone here is someone of importance."

"It's rare for us to get together like this, so let's take this opportunity to reminisce at the Xie family's place!"

The man who had spoken earlier said, "That's true, but Xie is being incredibly unethical. How can he invite us here, then not show up and make us wait for so long?"

"Who does he think he is?"

He turned to the person sitting in the first chair on the left: "Ninth Master, we came here out of respect for you, aren't you going to say a word?"

The man was a short, stout old man with a greasy face, dressed in a neat suit.

The suit, which should have had straight, formal lines, was stretched out so that every part of it was rounded and bulging.

He squinted and said slowly, "Du Fujiao, I have no connection with you whatsoever."

"My Poison Dragon Gang is here today to collect payment. If you can't pay for those shipments, hehe..."

"This place is not bad. It's remote and there aren't many people. It's convenient for us to have another match here."

"There always has to be one that goes out sideways."

Du Fujiao's face was grim: "Master Long, we invited you here today to resolve a problem, not to make enemies."

"After all, business is business. Of course I won't admit what's rightfully mine, but it's not like I'm trying to cheat you. What can I do when the iron fist comes down on me?"

"If you don't want to resolve this properly, my Iron Scale Gang isn't afraid of trouble!"

Then Master Long opened his eyes.

This made many people realize that they had misunderstood.

This Master Long Jiu doesn't look down on people or underestimate them.

His eyes are just that small.

No matter how hard he tries to open his eyes, they're only half-closed.

"Hey, okay, let's not wait for that damn thing, let's get started now!"

Du Fujiao looked at the chair next to Master Long Jiu, his face grim: "What does Brother Lin have to say?"

There were quite a few people present, but only a handful caught his eye.

Long Jiu of the Poison Dragon Gang.

The Poison Dragon Gang's original business was dealing in gene enhancers.

Gene enhancers were once all the rage in the Federation and were considered a revolutionary product that could change the world.

But it later became a prohibited item.

This stuff is really effective.

It can grant ordinary people power comparable to that of cultivators.

However, it has a fatal flaw: it alters the human body, causing irreversible mutations.

Not only themselves, but also their descendants will be completely mutated.

Those who have used gene enhancers, along with their descendants, will never be able to cultivate again.

This is intolerable to the federal government.

If it were to spread unchecked, humanity could very well face extinction.

The future race will be a "new human".

After countless brutal struggles and repressions, gene enhancers ultimately became the garbage of the times and a prohibited substance.

If you get involved with this stuff and the Federation finds out, you're basically finished. Master Long is risking his life in business.

It has grown bigger and stronger, and so far nothing has happened.

It is not to be underestimated, and it must have powerful backers.

He wouldn't dare offend such a person unless he had no other choice.

Besides Long Jiu, there was also the young man next to him who looked to be only in his early thirties.

This person was inconspicuous in this place, with an ordinary appearance and wearing black-rimmed glasses, just like an average otaku.

But no one present dared to underestimate him.

His surname is Lin, but nobody knows his real name. In the underworld, everyone calls him "Boss Lin."

He runs a "13 o'clock convenience store," which sounds unremarkable, but its incredible capabilities are well-known throughout Leizhou.

Everyone in the underworld knows that no matter who you are or what you want, you can buy it at Thirteen O'Clock Convenience Store!
Such skill made people extremely wary of Kobayashi.

These two individuals were his two main suppliers recently, and also his biggest creditors.

Xiao Lin seemed to be in a daze until he heard Du Fujiao's voice, at which point his eyes moved and he adjusted his glasses.

"I don't understand fighting and killing. I'm here to collect payment for the goods. It's a small business, and I don't have enough funds. I have no other choice."

Everyone present had twitching eyes and faces.

You're still running a small business?

As far as they knew, not only in Leizhou, but also in other cities, many people in the underworld knew the name of Thirteen O'Clock Convenience Store, and quite a few important figures sought to do business with him.

In terms of wealth and influence, Mr. Lin was probably the most powerful person present.

Master Long chuckled: "Paying back debts is a matter of course. If you don't have the money, then pay with your life. Du Fujiao, you've been in the underworld for so many years, surely you don't even know this basic rule?"

"Unless you bring the King of Heaven himself, no one can break the rules today,"

"The Xie family? What utter rubbish!"

Xie Laogua looked grim.

Iron Mudfish, standing behind him, was furious and about to rush out.

But Xie Laogua stopped him.

Hmph, let you be arrogant for a while!
It's best not to poop or pee in fright.

"Who said the Xie family is worthless?"

"That dog-grass thing!"

Just then, an angry voice rang out.

Everyone saw a Thunder sports car parked in front of the door, and a young man strode in.

Standing in the middle, he arrogantly shouted, "Who is it? Get out here for me!"

Everyone frowned, especially Master Long Jiu.

"who are you?"

That's what he saw – the Thunder sports car.

At this age, someone who can afford to drive this car is no ordinary person.

Otherwise, I would have already crippled this insolent brat.

"You are not worthy to know who I am!"

Chen Lingguan scoffed, "You're the one who said that, you fatso?"

"Young man, don't be so hot-blooded!"

Master Long narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.

Chen Lingguan laughed heartily: "Hahaha! If you weren't so hot-blooded, would you still be a young man? You idiot!"

He learned this phrase from Xie Lingxin.

I have to say, it was really fun!

"Little beast!"

Master Long's expression changed, and he could no longer restrain himself. His large body trembled violently, and his formal attire almost ripped apart.

A chilling aura spread, causing everyone present to shiver involuntarily.

There was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

Du Fujiao and a few others had a slight change in expression.

Breathing wind and thunder!

This old man has actually achieved such profound mastery of the fourth level of physical cultivation.

I'm afraid we're not far from the fifth level.

Faced with this terrifying power, Chen Lingguan merely smiled disdainfully and unleashed his strongest attack.

With his hands on his hips and head held high, he declared, "My surname is Chen! Chen of Leizhou!"

A huge, fleshy fist, the size of a sand bowl, stopped a few inches in front of his face.

Master Long's small eyes widened in fear.

Leizhou Chen?!

In Leizhou, no one dares to disrespect this name!
Du Fujiao was secretly pleased.

He had been holding back, not revealing Chen Lingguan's identity, precisely for this moment.

Now, even if that legendary big shot from the Xie family doesn't show up, his matter should be settled!

"Leizhou Chen...who are you?!"

Master Long Jiu actually already knew who it was, but he couldn't believe it.

How could that person possibly be here, and even stand up for some unknown Xie family member?

Chen Lingguan sneered: "I didn't even know you dared to operate in Leizhou?"

Weren't you very arrogant just now?

"..."

Master Long's face twitched, forcing out an ugly smile: "Young Master Chen... I was blind to your true worth!"

Chen Lingguan roared, "That's all? Kneel down!"

Master Long's face was extremely ugly: "Young Master Chen, aren't you going too far?"
