Returning from the Immortal World - Chapter 617

Chapter 617: Looking for Trouble

Without sparing a mind to the other's mind, Wang Zidong looked at Long Zhengyu with a complicated expression, forced out a bitter smile and said, "I hope you can ignore my inappropriate attitude and mannerism a moment ago, Young Master Long. If anything, I did that in hopes that both of you wouldn't have any mishaps during your visit in our club."

"Your club has already incurred my bad impression," said Long Zhengyu indifferently. "Visitors are guests, and you are responsible for the safety of your guests. There are exceptions, however, and you are one. You are afraid of the power possessed by others and have little to no strength to boot in this Blue City."

"This…" Wang Zidong was a bit embarrassed. Long Zhengyu's statement was indeed unpleasant to hear, but he knew that what he said was right. It was because of Du Yunjie's identity that he failed in this aspect. Therefore, he took a stand and immediately stated, "That's right, Young Master Long is correct in saying that our club does hold the responsibility to protect the safety of our guests. We neglected and didn't pay the due care for it previously, but I assure you that a similar incident will never occur again in the future."

Long Zhengyu still wanted to add more, but Tang Xiu stopped him, as he then chuckled and said, "Young Master Wang, right? Let us not mention about this vulgar matter, shall we? The Seacraft Hall is in a mess and we will compensate for your losses. Anyways, could you take them out of this box first? Don't worry, though. We will not leave—you can count on that since we are waiting for his men to come. Or, are you going to… wait here and watch us eat?"

Wang Zidong nodded in response before shifting his sight to Du Yunjie.

Du Yanjie had seen many arrogant fellows, but never such an arrogant one. They still had the courage to eat while waiting for the enemy to come? Though he had guessed that Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu possessed a certain identity, else they couldn't become Huang Xu's friends, where were they? This was Blue City! Regardless of their beings dragons or snakes in another place, Blue City was a territory where he reigned on top!

"I'll give you face and allow you to eat to your heart's content. I just hope that everything you swallow won't come out after you get beaten!" Said Du Yunjie coldly before turning around and going outside. Two of his buddies were badly beaten, whereas the other two were fainted on the floor, so they had to summon the security guards to bring them out.

The messed and chaotic Seacraft Hall turned temporarily clean and orderly after the waiter was done cleaning. The tea table that was turned upside down had been straightened, but the crack on it was a testimony that a fight just happened a moment ago. Shortly after, fragrant dishes were delivered along with two bottles of Gods Nectar.

Tang Xiu was actually still alright since he had lunch quite late, thus he wasn't that hungry at present. But Long Zhengyu woke up at noon and only ate an apple before rushing to Long's Dining Hall to see Tang Xiu. He originally planned to have dinner in the Long's Dining Hall but had his brain heated up by Tang Xiu and got swayed, so they decided to go to Blue City, thus the reason he hadn't anything to eat until now. He was so starved that he was wolfing the dishes down.

In the next room, Du Yunjie was sitting while smoking on the sofa with a flushed face, whereas Wang Zidong held both his arms. There was a sympathizing look on his face whenever he glanced at Du Yunjing. He just couldn't fathom that, just an hour or two ago, Du Yunjie provoked two silk pants who came from Shanghai, one of whom had his biological uncle as the second-in-command authoritative figure in Shuangqing Province. Therefore, Du Yunjie was humiliated, despite the place being his own domain, and even several of his friends got kicked a few times while some others got slapped in the face.

And the end result? The harm spread out to him by coincidence due to Huang Xu. The cause as to why he was sneered and jeered at by the other party without giving him the slight face at all was just because he said one or two words to help the fella.

Yet now, he even got into a troublesome matter at the Clearlake Club. Though he didn't know that young man named Long Zhengyu, this guy was definitely not your common generation layman since Huang Xu looked very nervous facing him. And this time, Du Yunjie may have kicked an iron plate tonight.

"Zidong, what did Huang Xu say to you on the phone?" Asked Du Yunjie. He tried to restrain himself, but was finally unable to bear it any longer.

"I'll tell you two things," said Wang Zidong indifferently. "Firstly, they are his friends, and secondly, they have a very deep background!"

Du Yunjie frowned. He coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, even if they do have a deep background, they still must be obedient in Blue City. I will never believe that their backgrounds are bigger than that damn surnamed Zhang."

"Even if their backgrounds are indeed inferior to that Zhang fella's, provoking them won't be that easy," refuted Wang Zidong while shaking his head. "I've investigated this matter thoroughly, and it was you who incited this matter and provoked the other party first. I just hope that you are mentally prepared since it won't be easy for this matter to conclude in a friendly manner."

"Do you think I'm afraid of them?" Asked Du Yunjie in a heavy voice.

After sighing inside, Wang Zidong said, "Let's not say whether you're afraid or not first. But I think you should tell your brother about the matter here so as to prepare against contingencies, just in case."

"Hmph, do you think I still have face to tell my big brother?" Du Yanjie hummed. "That surnamed Zhang really has a background in Blue City, and my big brother has already helped to solve it for me. If I were to call him again, do you think I, Du Yunjie, will still have face to socialize in Blue City?"

Wang Zidong fell into silence. He and Du Yunjie were old friends, hence the advice. But the fella himself gave a deaf ear to everything he said, thus he didn't want to involve himself in this matter anymore. In any case, Huang Xu was kind enough to help him cover this matter and told him something. He decided to not easily jump into the problem before he could clearly figure out the origin of the other party, so it was best to avoid it and stay silent.

Quickly after, Huang Xu had returned back in a hurry to Clearlake Club and quickly rushed over after asking where Long Zhengyu and Tang Xiu were at. He then met Li Chunlei in the corridor and pulled him to a secluded corner to ask him about the truth of the matter, thus turning furious inside.

This fucking Du Yunjie, he just smeared this Father's face with shame! Huan Xu cursed furiously inside. As he was about to set off to Seacraft Hall to apologize to Long Zhengyu, Li Chunlei spoke to him in a whisper, "Boss, Du Yunjie and Young Master Wang are in the other box, would you like to see them first?"

Huang Xu stared blankly for a moment before thinking about it. He felt that he should first reprimand Du Yunjie and then take him to the Seacraft Hall to apologize.

Creak...

The door to the next box was pushed open by Li Chunlei. After which, Huang Xu went inside with a grim face. His eyes only glanced at Wang Zidong before falling onto Du Yunjie's ashen face and then indifferently said, "Recalling the account between us as old friends, and on the account of your big brother who has once helped me, I'll give you an opportunity to go with me to the Seacraft Hall to apologize now. Otherwise…"

Huang Xu's statement fanned the flames and incited Du Yunjie. He suddenly slapped the tabletop, got up and yelled, "Huang Xu, on which side are you standing? You want me to apologize to them, to those hillbillies coming from the countryside? How will I, Du Yunjie, still have a face with this shame in the future?"

Huang Xu narrowed his eyes and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Then, he said with a cold and detached tone, "I think your face is not as good as your life. Yes, I know that they may be hillbillies in your eyes, people from low social strata. But I wanna I ask you something if you really are determined to lose all decorum with them. How much power do your Du Family need to destroy the Long Family of Star City? You will only kill 1,000 at the cost of the deaths of 800 of your men. Does your Du Family really want to pay such a big price?"

The Long Family from Star City?

Was it the Long Family who was now rapidly developing and became the first prominent family in Star City? Then, that guy named Long Zhengyu was from that Long Family?

"I can tell you something more." Huang Xu sneered. "Long Zhengyu is the eldest son of Long Hanwen and is the future heir of the Long Family's Head. He's very powerful by himself, and 50% of the Long Family's businesses are now under his flag, whereas Long Hanwen himself highly regards and favors him. If the Long and Du Families were to really fight, Long Hanwen will definitely not hold back all the power his family has to act for his son. Then, what will the Du Family do to help you?"

Du Yunjie's gasped for breath as his expression grew cloudy and unsettled. He realized the reasoning in Huang Xu's argument. Though the Long Family was headquartered in Star City, their strength was definitely terrifying. In the case that, as Huang Xu said, he and Long Zhengyu were to tear off all decorum, his family would definitely not be willing to wage war just for this matter.

However, he didn't want to lower his head to apologize, either!

Du Yunjie fell into silence for a while before raising his head reluctantly, and then coldly said, "I'm going to end this matter at this point since I'm looking at your face, Huang Xu. Tell them to come over here to settle this matter."

Apparently, Huang Xu also realized that this was probably Du Yunjie's bottom line and felt somewhat helpless inside. However, he still said, "Come with me if you want to reconcile with them!"

Du Yunjie scrunched up before getting up and saying, "Let's go then!"

Inside the Seacraft Hall.

Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu were having their meal when they saw Huang Xu entering. There was a smile on Tang Xiu's face was in contrast to the cold and detached as he glanced at him. He then smiled and greet Huang Xu.

"T-Tang… Brother Tang Xiu?"

Huang Xu was utterly taken aback. He never imagined that the person who came with Long Zhengyu turned out to be Tang Xiu.

This incident was troublesome!

He was perfectly aware of how ruthless and merciless Tang Xiu could be, and was crystal clear that he was not just solely the owner behind the Magnificent Tang Corporation. His identity was not that simple since he was Beijing's…

Pa…

All of a sudden, Huang Xu turned around, slapped Du Yunjie's face and bellowed, "You have killed me, you fucking asshole! I, Huang Xu, have done a lot of shameful things, but today… now… I wish that I could find a hole to burrow myself into!"

"WHAT THE…"

The slap made Du Yunjie perplexed and stunned. This wasn't what they had agreed to previously, was it?

Tang Xiu pointed to the nearby sofa and smilingly said, "Well, Zhengyu hadn't had much to eat today, so it's best to wait until he finishes his meal."

Huang Xu squeezed out a smile and nodded before forcefully pulling the perplexed Du Yunjie and then sitting on that sofa.

Finally, Du Yunjie snapped back to his senses. He subconsciously lifted his hand to touch his slapped chin as anger exploded inside his chest. He stepped back and pointed at Huang Xu, cursing angrily, "Are you fucking insane, Huang Xu? Spit it out if a problem crops up. What the fuck did you lash out at me for?"

"Will you fucking shut up?" Huang Xu was also incensed. "Get your fucking ass and sit down next to me!"

Flames of anger burst inside Du Yunjie's eyes as he yelled back, "Huang Xu, you're really a fucking trash. You of all people are siding with the outsides instead of your own people. I, this Du Yunjie, finally see through you. Hmph… I may dread you, but I was never once afraid of you! Do you want to stick out with them and then flush your shit on me?"

Chapter 618: Extreme Beating

Huang Xu closed his eyes, took a breath, and opened them again. He looked at Tang Xiu as he forced a smile and said, "Brother Tang, it's been really unfair to you today. I'm sorry. This face of mine is so painful that I have no mind to do anything, so you can play and do everything you want!"

Tang Xiu put down the chopsticks. Then he smilingly looked at Huang Xu and said, "This is a good place indeed, but this place is, after all, your territory. Since you've said that, then you won't mind if I don't refrain myself anymore, yes?"

"It's all up to you!" Huang Xu nodded with an ashamed face.

Tang Xiu grabbed a bottle of Gods Nectar from the table. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he took a few steps toward Du Yunjie. When he saw the latter taking a few steps backward, he smiled and said, "What happened today is nothing but a little conflict! But you acted so arrogantly because this place is your territory and used it to bully us. Therefore, since those people you called have yet to arrive, I'll make you first carve this memory on you as a reminder for you to behave and not be so rampant again later."

As his voice faded away, Tang Xiu dashed and instantly appeared in front of Du Yunjie as he smashed the wine bottle on his head. Wine and blood splattered at the same time, as Du Yunjie staggered backward and almost fell to the floor a few seconds later. Tang Xiu then delivered a heavy slap to his face, pulled him and threw him to the door as the guy heavily slammed on the floor.

Aaargh… Shrill screams came out of Du Yunjie.

Tang Xiu shook his head as he forced a smile and said, "You dare to make trouble everywhere with such abilities? You really are asking for the road to ruin."

At this time, Long Zhengyu finally put down the chopsticks and casually shot a look at Du Yunjie, who had been badly beaten and was slumped on the floor. His eyes then fell on Huang Xu and hummed with resentment, "Contrary to what I expected, you really pushed this matter to make yourself clean, Young Master Huang. I sweet-talked Tang Xiu to come over to Blue City on a heavy snowy day just to support and cheer you up. Then, what do we have in the end? Nothing but some damn bad luck. Look at my face! Getting a slap on it is so hurtful. I was bragging to Tang Xiu before we came here that you are really capable now and how great your club is. And now?"

Huang Xu was so embarrassed that he wished to find a crack in the floor to burrow himself into. He then said with a bitter expression, "Young Master Long, today was indeed unjust for you. I can't make it up for you today, but please look forward to my performance until this matter has concluded. Is that okay with you?"

Long Zhengyu rolled his eyes at him in response and hummed, "You can be considered as thoughtful, kiddo. But there's another thing, though. What happened to your mobile phone? I've been calling you but can't connect at all."

With lips trembling a little, Huang Xu helplessly said, "This reminds me of that shameful matter that happened two hours ago. It was because of this idiot—Du Yunjie. He provoked two scions from Shanghai who came here. Who could have thought that those two turned out to have a deep background in Blue City? As a result, my mobile was broken by others, and I was even jeered and sneered at."

"Some people from Shanghai?" Long Zhengyu was surprised. "Tang Xiu has been living in Shanghai for less than half a year, right? Tell me, what's the origin of the other party?"

"One is Zhang Xiaolei, the eldest son of Zhang Yueming, the owner of Shanghai's Xinyang Group, while the other one is Gu Tao, the son of Dingshen Media's owner. These two guys have a very formidable background, especially Zhang Xiaolei, since his uncle is the second authoritative figure in Shuangqing Province."

Long Zhengyu let out a strange smile as he looked at Du Yunjie with some admiration. He praised while raising his thumb and sighing, "This buddy truly is awesome! Each and every character he provokes is more powerful than the other. He even dares to provoke two scions from two major companies. That's really admirable! I'm truly convinced!"

Having said that, he then looked at Tang Xiu and smilingly asked, "Tang Xiu, tell me. You have been living in Shanghai for nearly half a year, do you know these two fellas?"

"Nope, I don't know them." Tang Xiu shook his head. "But I have a bit friendship with their fathers, though."

Puff… "WHAT?"

Long Zhengyu, who was sipping tea, spurted it out. Huang Xu was struck dumb and tongue-tied with a shocked expression in his eyes.

"Yeah, they're friends I met on the wine table just by chance, really," said Tang Xiu with a smile.

Long Zhengyu let out a wry smile while shaking his head and then sighed, "Tang Xiu, more and more I realize the disparity between us. I'm just like a toddler as I got along with those big shots, whereas you have already made a bridge and befriended them. You know, you gotta introduce me to these people if there's a chance later, so as to give me a chance to elevate my good points and get close with them."

Tang Xiu couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't talk like this, will you? Anyways, tell me. How do you want to play this game tonight?"

Looking at Du Yunjie who got up from the floor, Long Zhengyu grinned, "How about doing it like your usual style?"

Tang Xiu nodded and looked at Huang Xu, "Young Master Huang, this kiddo surnamed Du should have more a powerful background than this, right?"

"The Du Family is ranked in the top five in Blue City," answered Huang Xu with a forced smile.

"Okay, please do me a favor." Tang Xiu nodded. "Call someone who can be regarded to have a voice in the Du Family and tell him to come over and bring some people. Emphasize it that they will only collect the dead body of this Du brat if they don't come within an hour!"

Huang Xu's heart thumped and he abruptly got up. He hastily walked toward the door and shot Du Yunjie a deep look, who was still dizzy, as he shook his head and bypassed him. After coming outside, he called Du Yunjie's big brother, Du Yunlong.

"Something happened again, Huang Xu?" A cold voice came from the phone.

There was a bitter smile on Huang Xu's face as he replied, "Yeah, something happened, big time. You… you better contact your father or someone with the biggest authority in the Du Family. Your little brother just stirred up trouble in my club. Big trouble!"

"That fucking bastard, who the hell did he provoke this time?" Du Yunlong cursed.

"It's Long Zhengyu of the Long Family and Tang Xiu from Star City," said Huang Xu.

"Tang Xiu?" Du Yunlong was silent for a moment before asking. "Which Tang Xiu, exactly?"

"You should have heard his name, too, right?" Huang Xu smiled bitterly. "Which Tang Xiu can make me call you? Just come quickly! He said that if someone with authority from the Du Family doesn't come here within an hour, then he will give you the dead body of your little brother!"

Afterward, Huang Xu hung up the phone and was about to return to the Seacraft Hall when he saw Wang Zidong also coming out from the inside and had his lips wriggling. He apparently wanted to speak but was hesitating.

"You got something you wanna say?" Asked Huang Xu with a forced smile.

Wang Zidong threw a quick glance at the door before asking in a low voice, "Huang Xu, I heard the name Tang Xiu before. He should be the Young Divine Doctor from Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, right? Does he have a very powerful background?"

Huang Xu was silent for a few seconds, and then answered in a whisper, "What do you think about those two fellas Du Yunjie provoked tonight, do they have strong backgrounds?"

"Big ones!" Wang Zidong nodded cautiously.

Huang Xu replied with a taste of ridicule in his voice, "Even if the forces behind those two guys is added and multiplied by ten, they still won't be able to match Brother Tang Xiu's. Above him… is the sky."

He pointed his finger up while saying this.

Wang Zidong was flabbergasted. It took dozens of seconds for him to be able to react, yet there was a shocked and panicked expression on his face. He had already thought of the prominent families surnamed Tang who could be the most powerful family in the country.

There should be one… and that was the Tang Family of Beijing.

As of the past two months, there had been a major earthquake in the bureaucracy of the government in the country as numerous office positions changed, along with the shifting of rights and benefits in extension. The ultimate cause of this great earthquake was exactly the Tang Family of Beijing. His family, the Wangs, had quite an influence in Shuangqing Province, so he had been paying attention to the matter as well, and he naturally knew how terrifying the Tang Family was for being able to decimate the Yao Family.

Du Yunjie is done for.

He then recalled the advice he gave to Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu before, and couldn't bear to let out a bitter smile. At that time, he was nothing but a joke in their eyes, right?

Inside the Seacraft Hall.

Tang Xiu picked up the hot tea delivered by the waiter. After tasting it twice, he said, "Huang Xu, don't let anyone from this club block the people from the Du Family from coming here. Regardless of who they are and how many people come over, allow all of them to enter. Zhengyu is kinda vexed inside, so he must vent it out."

Huang Xu only smiled bitterly and nodded.

A few minutes later, Li Chunlei called Huang Xu, informing that A' Qiang had arrived with a dozen or so people and was heading toward the Seacraft Hall.

Bam…

The door was kicked open as a stocky middle-aged man with knife scars on his bald head entered. Following him from behind were dozens of ruthless-looking middle-aged men who quickly walked inside. Fortunately, the Seacraft Hall was large enough and didn't feel crowded even though all of them came in.

"YOUNG MASTER DU!"

A' Qiang was startled upon seeing Du Yunjie's appearance. He hurriedly dashed over and propped him up.

At this time, the chagrined feeling inside Du Yunjie's heart had reached the limit. He also knew that today's matter had come to the point that it wouldn't end in a friendly manner at all. Therefore, after A' Qiang came to his side, he pointed at Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu and shouted, "Beat them up for me. I'll take the responsibility for whatever happens!"

Upon hearing this, A' Qiang issued orders without a shred of hesitation. His backer in Blue City was the Du Family. He knew that he would end up in trouble if he went against Du Yunjie's wishes at this time.

"STOP!" Huang Xu angrily yelled.

The dozens of people, however, didn't even spare him a glance and stormed over toward Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu.

Tang Xiu scornfully sneered inwardly. His figure instantly flashed over and clashed with them. If it wasn't for the sake of not exposing magic spells to the people present here, he would have used it to blow up the wits of these goons already.

Bam, bam, bam…

When his fists came in contact with their flesh, bone breaking sounds and screeching screams interlinked into a single note in just a few dozen seconds. More than a dozen ruthless people with kung fu foundation were all beaten by Tang Xiu under everyone's watchful eyes. The most notable of all was that Tang Xiu acted very ruthless as he straightly broke both of their legs.

"How is this possible?"

A' Qiang's complexion drastically changed and looked horrified. He had a good kung fu and was only a step shy of the martial arts grandmaster level, and more than a dozen of his men had been practicing Kung fu ever since they were children. Some of them were trained by him and had an extremely rich combat experience. Yet now… how come they were all beaten and knocked out in just a dozen seconds or so?

"WHO ARE YOU?" Asked A' Qiang angrily.

"Relying on your qualification to know who I am? Dream on!" Tang Xiu sneered.

A' Qiang released Du Yunjie and pulled out a pistol from his waist, pointed its muzzle to Tang Xiu and scornfully said, "Your kung fu is indeed very formidable. But I wanna know who's faster, you or a bullet!"
