Urban Immortal Lord
Chapter 22: A windfall was made.
"Should we continue?"
Seeing that his own damage had almost been recovered, Xia Tian spoke in a cold voice. As for the wound on his shoulder, he had secretly sealed the aorta, temporarily stopping the injury.
Upon hearing this, Brother Biao couldn't help but tremble. His gaze toward Xia Tian was filled with apprehension. Half of the men he had summoned were already lying on the ground, unable to fight.
Even if Brother Biao is stupid, he understands that Xia Tian is no ordinary person. Can an ordinary person take down a thug?
"Let's not fight anymore, it's all a misunderstanding."
Brother Biao quickly stopped and said, "Brother, you're really amazing! You managed to take down all my men. I, Huang Biao, admire you!"
"No need for formalities."
Xia Tian shook his head, looked at Brother Biao, and said coldly, "Since you've backed down, let's calculate the compensation."
Seeing that Brother Biao had compromised, Xia Tian no longer had the arrogant attitude he had before. He didn't want to make things too big. After all, this was a society governed by law, and if someone were to die, Xia Tian wasn't confident he could get away unscathed.
"100,000, I'll give you 100,000 to compensate for your losses."
When Brother Biao heard Xia Tian mention compensation, he felt a pang of heartache, gritted his teeth, and quickly said...
"Heh, 100,000? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
Xia Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "I remember you just told Boss Chen that the compensation was one million."
With the way of the people, also treat the body of the people!
If it weren't for Brother Biao's aggressive demands for a million yuan in compensation from Chen Zijing, Xia Tian wouldn't have bothered with any further complications.
But now that his strength has been revealed, Xia Tian no longer wants to keep a low profile, so he has chosen to be assertive.
"One million!" Huang Biao roared, "Kid, don't push your luck! Five hundred thousand at most!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian shook his head and said forcefully, "I don't have time to argue with you. Either come up with a million yuan in compensation now, or we'll fight again."
Seeing Xia Tian's domineering attitude and the absolute lack of room for negotiation in his words, Brother Huang wanted to order his men to attack Xia Tian again, but he hesitated.
"Alright! One million it is, consider it making friends with a brother."
Huang Biao reluctantly agreed, knowing that one million was no small sum. Although he could afford it, the loss would still be substantial.
"I don't have that much cash on me. Tell me your bank card number and I'll transfer the money directly."
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Huang Biao spoke to Xia Tian.
"Bank card number?"
Xia Tian shook his head and smiled wryly. He then lit a cigarette and waved to Liu Zhenxing, who was not far away. Upon seeing this, Liu Zhenxing and Zhang Jinbo quickly ran over.
"Which of you has a bank card? Have him transfer the money to your account."
Xia Tian told the two of them that he had never opened a bank account before. Back in college, the school had issued one to students from financially disadvantaged families for financial assistance purposes, but Xia Tian had never carried it with him.
Zhang Jinbo and Liu Zhenxing were stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that their brother didn't have a bank card.
"I brought my card, use mine."
Liu Zhenxing quickly took out his wallet, pulled out a business card, and handed it to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian reached out and took the bank card, then pinched one corner of the card between her index and middle fingers, channeled her spiritual power, and waved it out.
The bank card, with a soft thud, landed perfectly on the card holder next to Huang Biao.
Xia Tian's seemingly casual move completely stunned Huang Biao.
You should know that the booths in this bar are made of metal, but Xia Tian casually swung his hand from ten meters away and inserted his bank card into the booth!
Without a second thought, Huang Biao grabbed the bank card and frantically dialed a number, instructing the other party to transfer one million yuan to Liu Zhenxing's account.
Shortly after, Liu Zhenxing received a text message on his phone from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, informing him that one million yuan had been transferred to his account.
This made Liu Zhenxing feel like he was dreaming, and his gaze toward Xia Tian was filled with deep admiration.
Not only Liu Zhenxing, but Zhang Jinbo was the same.
Xia Tian, seeing that the million had been deposited into his account, said to Huang Biao, "I'll let you off the hook tonight, but if you mess with me again, you won't be so lucky."
Upon hearing this, Huang Biao's lips twitched. Just as he was about to call his men to leave, he suddenly heard Xia Tian's voice again.
"You don't need to collect protection money from the bar anymore. I'll protect this bar."
Xia Tian pondered for a moment and decided to return the favor to Chen Zijing, since Chen Zijing had previously sided with her.
Although he knew that doing so would undoubtedly cut off one of Brother Biao's sources of income, as paying one million in protection fees every year was no small sum.
But since he had already fallen out with Huang Biao, Xia Tian didn't care about having a little more hatred.
"Dude, you've crossed a line, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Biao looked at Xia Tian and said with dissatisfaction, "As is customary..."
"What if I insist on making an exception for you just this once?"
Xia Tian certainly knew what Huang Biao was referring to. Every industry has its own rules, and for people like them who are involved in such shady dealings, protection money is a major part of their illicit income.
Cutting off someone's source of income is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!
"That's not up to me," Brother Biao shook his head, then said, "If you really want to... you'll have to talk to Master Ye. It's all Master Ye's decision!"
"Master Ye?"
Xia Tian pondered to himself, it seemed that Huang Biao had an extremely powerful figure backing him up behind the scenes, and this was the person Huang Biao called "Master Ye"!
This person is quite a character!
Seeing Xia Tian deep in thought and silent, Huang Biao assumed that Xia Tian was scared and couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"I think we should just let it go this summer; there's no need to cause any more trouble."
Just then, Chen Zijing spoke up: "The person behind Brother Biao is named Ye Tianlong, and everyone respectfully calls him Master Ye. Ye Tianlong not only controls all the entertainment industries in M City, but he is also involved in real estate."
Chen Zijing, a seasoned businesswoman, naturally understood Xia Tian's good intentions. Xia Tian was doing this simply to repay a favor she had done for her before. This made Chen Zijing look at Xia Tian with new respect. Although she possessed extraordinary skills, she knew how to repay kindness and clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment.
However, Chen Zijing felt that Xia Tian had gone too far in repaying this favor.
"In that case, you can tell Ye Tianlong that I control the protection fees for this bar. If he's not happy about it, let him come find me!"
What is domineering?
What is arrogance?
Summer's words perfectly encapsulate domineering and arrogant behavior.
Xia Tian's calm tone reached everyone present. Although his voice was not loud, everyone could hear the unquestionable attitude in his words.
Chen Zijing's beautiful eyes darted around, her gaze towards Xia Tian filled with a strange light.
As for Zhang Jinbo and others, their admiration was undisguised!
