Chapter 314 313: To the Death

Hua Hai hurriedly put down the baseball bat and said respectfully,

"Young Master Xie, you don't live in Anhua, so you wouldn't know. The old boss of Anhua wasn't him, it was his adoptive father. After his adoptive father died, he somehow became the boss of the underworld."

"A lot of people don't respect him! But as long as he doesn't cross any lines, people generally leave him alone. It's fine to be polite with him."

"But of all the stupid things, he just had to go and cross you, Young Master Xie. Don't you think that's outrageous?"

As soon as Hua Hai said this, Young Master Xie's expression brightened considerably.

"What did he do to me? I don't even know him."

Young Master Xie sneered.

Hua Hai said, "He had the gall to insist that if you don't let Ye Chunshui go, you'll invite a fatal disaster!"

"HAHAHAHA!" Young Master Xie threw his head back and laughed. "Forget just keeping her here. Even if I slept with her on the spot, who would dare say a thing?"

Hearing this, Ye Chunshui was terrified. She began to regret why she had come to a place like this.

But if it weren't for reasons beyond her control, she wouldn't have wanted to come either!

Still, a sliver of hope remained in her heart. She had called Mu Lin, and Guo Lei had come to save her.

But what she couldn't understand most was, why didn't Mu Lin come himself?

'If he came personally, wouldn't he have wiped the floor with these disgusting guys in a heartbeat?'

'But on second thought, who was she? She was a nobody. She hadn't even told him about her relationship with Li Xue.'

'Why would he go to so much trouble to help me? Is he crazy?'

'Getting an underworld boss to come help was already a huge favor. It's just that this boss got taken out the moment he showed up.'

'He seems a little unreliable.'

Now, it had just ended up pissing off Young Master Xie. She was probably doomed.

Young Master Xie walked up to Guo Lei and said arrogantly, "Didn't you say I'd face a fatal disaster? Look around! Who's going to come kill me?"

Guo Lei's forehead was covered in blood, which had glued his eyes shut, blurring his vision.

He was beaten into a daze by Hua Hai, completely disoriented.

"You, you, you... aren't you afraid of biting your tongue with all that big talk! Who's coming to kill me?"

Young Master Xie grabbed an empty wine bottle and smashed it across Guo Lei's face, leaving several gashes.

Hua Hai's scalp tingled as he watched. 'This Young Master Xie really doesn't care about the consequences. Who asked you to be this crazy?'

To scar someone's face like that... in the Jianghu, that's basically a declaration of a fight to the death.

Anyone who's been in this life for a while knows that while you can be ruthless, there are some lines you absolutely cannot cross.

The first is disfigurement. The second is destroying a man's family jewels.

These things will earn you an enemy who will hunt you to the death. It would be better to just kill the person outright.

Young Master Xie had clearly never experienced something like this firsthand, which is why he would do such a thing.

More likely, he was relying on his family background and simply wasn't afraid.

Guo Lei was already unable to move and wasn't even making sounds of pain. Young Master Xie curled his lip, extremely disappointed, pushed Guo Lei aside, and looked at Ye Chunshui.

"Didn't I tell you? Just spend one night with me, and your dad can become a high-ranking official. Why don't you get it? Stop putting on an act. You women, you all pretend to be chaste saints on the surface, but in reality, you play harder than anyone! Your innocence is long gone, right? So what are you waiting for?"

Ye Chunshui turned her head to look away. There was nothing she could do. Even if Young Master Xie were to rape her right now, she could only endure it.

'Mu Lin, oh, Mu Lin, when are you coming!'

Seeing that Ye Chunshui was ignoring him, Young Master Xie raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face. "Talk! Why aren't you talking?"

Ye Chunshui hissed in pain. It stung terribly. She guessed there would definitely be a bruise on her face.

"In Anhua, I'm the top dog! Even if Patriarch Zhou of the Zhou Family came here, he'd have to show me some respect!"

"Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!"

Young Master Xie laughed loudly. "Sleep with me tonight. Otherwise, not only will I not help you, I'll make your father lose his official position and become a nobody."

He grabbed Ye Chunshui's wrist and viciously dragged her toward the restroom.

Ye Chunshui clung to a table, refusing to move, but a few of Young Master Xie's men came over to pry her hands off.

Mu Lin swiftly arrived outside Qingyuan Bar.

He accurately found Room 388.

'Those two bodyguards' skill levels aren't low. The person in this private room must have a high net worth. They really do have the means to bully Ye Chunshui.'

As he walked over, the bodyguards' faces were filled with contempt.

'It's a convention of idiots today. We just took care of Guo Lei, and now another moron shows up looking for a beating.'

'Seriously?'

"What do you think you're doing, kid? Scram! This isn't a place you can enter!"

The bodyguard arrogantly stretched out an arm to block Mu Lin's path.

But Mu Lin simply threw a punch. With a burst of force, the bodyguard went flying into the base of the wall.

The other bodyguard, furious, lunged forward.

Mu Lin swiftly knocked him to the ground, not wasting any words.

He pushed the door open and entered, only to see everyone inside staring at him in stunned silence, their expressions a mixture of shock and disbelief.

'Who is he? How did he get in?'

'The two bodyguards outside couldn't stop him?'

Mu Lin saw Guo Lei, covered in blood and unconscious. He felt a little apologetic toward him.

'I sent him here as the vanguard without telling him anything.'

'He probably got beaten this badly for trying to force his way in.'

Mu Lin's eyes swept the room, but he didn't see Ye Chunshui.

"Where is Ye Chunshui?" he asked, his gaze then locking onto Hua Hai, who stood there at a loss.

Hua Hai sized Mu Lin up and down, guessing this was the person Guo Lei had said would kill them all.

In his heart, he was even more certain it was a joke.

'I thought he'd be a hero like Master Pang, not some pathetic loser. To think a loser like this scared Guo Lei so badly... it makes me want to laugh.'

'As expected, Guo Lei is nothing compared to Pang Dahai. So pathetic.'

"Who the hell are you? Speak up, or don't blame my men for teaching you a lesson!"

Mu Lin couldn't be bothered with Hua Hai. Instead, he quickly looked toward the restroom.

He stepped forward and kicked the restroom door open.

Ye Chunshui was struggling inside, her face streaked with tears. She looked pitiful, her clothes in disarray, but it was clear Young Master Xie hadn't succeeded yet.

Mu Lin walked forward and grabbed Young Master Xie by the neck. "Impressive. Playing rough, huh? You don't use a restroom to relieve yourself, you use it to go crazy, is that it?"

With his neck being squeezed, Young Master Xie was enraged. He pointed at Mu Lin, wanting to curse him out.

But Mu Lin struck out with his palm, and Young Master Xie felt every bone in his body begin to tremble.

It was agonizing, a pain that pierced to the bone.

Vibrations shot through him again and again, sending excruciating pain through his ribs.

Young Master Xie was in so much pain, but with his throat constricted, he couldn't even scream. He was in pure agony.

Mu Lin threw him into a corner and ignored him, then walked toward Ye Chunshui.

Ye Chunshui threw her arms around Mu Lin and burst into tears. The terror she had felt today was just too much.

"What took you so long... The person you sent was defeated in an instant. I thought I was done for."

Mu Lin was silent. 'Guo Lei really is too green. I clearly taught him the introductory routines, yet he couldn't accomplish anything at all.'

'Then again,' he thought, 'there are few people in this world as gifted as I am. Besides, the old man's constant guidance was also very important.'

'I never planned on taking Guo Lei as a disciple, so I held back on everything I taught him. It's perfectly normal that he couldn't win.'

Young Master Xie struggled to his feet. It was clearly the first time he had ever experienced something like this. He was burning with rage, not feeling in the slightest that he had done anything wrong.

He roared, "Hua Hai, call all your men out right now! I'm going to teach him a harsh lesson! He has to pay for this!"

Hua Hai scurried out and replied obsequiously, "Don't worry, Young Master Xie, my men will be here right away! When they arrive, he won't even have a proper burial!"

Mu Lin smiled faintly, not bothering to say anything.

'Bring it on. I'll take on as many as you've got.'

Sure enough, after a short while, a crowd of thugs charged in, yelling.

These thugs were holding steel pipes and looked incredibly brawny.

It was a huge shock to Ye Chunshui. 'So those two bodyguards standing watch for Young Master Xie weren't even his strongest men?'

'Can Mu Lin really face them?'

Mu Lin glanced at them and said to Ye Chunshui, "Miss Ye, I'll have to trouble you to hide in the restroom a little longer. How about you come out after I've taken care of them?"
