...Cough, cough, cough... It was Lu Shao... He was the one who... told us to find you...
The white-haired youth coughed violently a few times, his eyes filled with terror, and he unhesitatingly revealed the person behind the scenes.
Soon, he explained the general course of events.
It was that rich second-generation heir again, the one who stole the original owner's goddess.
The other party sent a few people over, not only to beat Hu Qi up again but also to inquire about the whereabouts of Wu Shan and the others.
Because those few people were currently missing, no information could be found.
Regarding this.
Hu Qi had already anticipated it.
Those few people were involved with monsters, so they should have been concealed by the authorities.
As for the intentions of these people.
When he first met them and saw the wolf head tattoos similar to Wu Shan's on their bodies, he had a guess in his heart.
Now, he merely wanted to confirm it.
"Interesting, this really is endless."
Hu Qi muttered to himself.
The look in his eyes grew colder.
He looked down at the five people on the ground.
"If any of you dare to speak about today's events, or dare to cause trouble for the people around me again!"
Speaking of this, Hu Qi walked to the innermost large tree, his eyes narrowing.
He raised his hand and punched out fiercely.
Bang!
The next moment, under the terrified gazes of the few people, the thick, sturdy bark of the tree, which two people could barely embrace, instantly exploded and splattered everywhere.
A large number of leaves fluttered down from the sky.
By the time Hu Qi withdrew his fist.
A clear, concave fist print appeared on the tree trunk.
"At that time, I will personally come to your door and crush his bones inch by inch! If you don't believe me, you can try!"
Hu Qi's calm words echoed in the air.
...Gulp!
Everyone couldn't help but swallow.
The scene immediately fell into a deathly silence.
By the time they came back to their senses, Hu Qi had already turned and walked outside.
"Damn it! My hand! This can't just be over, I'm going to kill him!"
After a while, one person finally spoke, letting out a pained cry.
"Yeah, it can't just be over! This dog..."
Someone next to him agreed, his face full of resentment.
But the words were only halfway out.
When they saw Hu Qi's figure return.
Immediately, the rest of the words were stuck directly in their throats.
"Remember to clean up the trash on the ground!"
Hu Qi's voice echoed in the air.
It wasn't until Hu Qi's figure completely disappeared that the few people finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"We've been defeated this time. Just pretend nothing happened. We can't afford to provoke this person. No matter who asks, just say we accidentally fell!"
The white-haired youth, with half of his face swollen, watched Hu Qi's figure disappear around the corner, his expression fluctuating between cloudy and clear.
Finally, he let out a long sigh.
The others still wanted to say something, but they looked at the clear fist print on the nearby tree trunk and imagined the scene if that punch had landed on them.
They couldn't help but shiver.
...
Hearing the faint sounds of conversation from behind him.
Hu Qi's footsteps paused.
Then he sped up and left the place.
Outside.
Li Yi was standing at the intersection.
Seeing Hu Qi come out, he opened his mouth but didn't know where to start.
He found that his cousin seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult for him to see through him.
"It's fine, let's go!"
Hu Qi smiled and patted the other's shoulder.
Seeing Hu Qi's familiar smile, Li Yi came back to his senses.
He thought for a moment, but ultimately couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Qi Ge, how did you do that? That was so amazing just now, it was incredibly cool!"
He recalled the scene where Hu Qi kicked someone several meters away, his tone filled with excitement.
For every teenage boy, there are two major fantasies.
One is to possess a strong physique and strength: being able to shine in various sports events, and one person fighting a group of people.
Thereby gaining looks of shock and praise from everyone.
Commonly known as—showing off!
The second is to have overflowing romantic luck: encountering beautiful women unexpectedly in various settings, causing many girls to vie for his attention.
And between these two, if one had to choose.
It would definitely be the first kind.
Sealing the Wolf Dwelling, engraving stones at Yanran, is probably like this.
The strength Hu Qi displayed earlier.
Undoubtedly accurately hit the first point.
"Nothing much, I recently joined a fighting club and learned some Fighting Technique."
Hu Qi briefly explained how he joined the Red Scale Club.
"Fighting Technique, it's actually that powerful!"
Li Yi habitually pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"You don't have anything to do at home during the summer vacation now. If you're interested, you can come along!"
Hu Qi thought for a moment and said.
This world was too dangerous; those monsters hidden in the darkness, preying on people, made him feel extremely insecure.
The original owner's aunt's family treated him quite well, and if possible, he wouldn't mind helping them out.
From the currently known information, this Red Scale Club was definitely not simple.
Of course, he offered this suggestion, as for whether the other party was willing to join the Red Scale Fighting Club.
And whether he could achieve anything, he couldn't be sure.
"Can I too?"
Li Yi looked at his somewhat slender arms and legs, unable to help but feel a little doubtful.
"Some things, if you don't try, will never have a result. I'm just giving you a suggestion; whether you're willing is entirely up to you."
Hu Qi looked up at the setting sun.
"Let's go, I'll take you back.
This matter started because of me; I implicated you. I'll take care of the subsequent trouble.
It's not safe outside at night now, and there are wild beasts harming people. When you have nothing to do, just stay in the shop with Auntie and don't run around alone!"
...
The sky gradually darkened.
The neon lights along the road lit up one after another.
After Hu Qi dropped Li Yi off.
He rode his bike back home.
Ten minutes later, he changed his clothes and left his house.
...
Tianhu District.
It was a core area that Qirong City had focused on developing in recent years.
Here, it was an administrative office center, a business and cultural exhibition center, a leisure and tourism base, and a comprehensive residential area.
All kinds of facilities were complete: hospitals, shopping malls, schools, everything was available.
At this moment, the lights were coming on, light and shadow intertwined, dazzling and colorful.
'Nightfall' Bar.
"Lu Shao, take care!"
Two tall security guards stood on either side of the main entrance, their eyes sharply scanning passing pedestrians.
When they saw a young man and woman walk out from inside.
Immediately, they bowed ninety degrees, their gazes fixed on the ground, and said loudly.
Lu Shi ignored them, merely waving his hand casually, his left arm around Jiang Yuyan.
He walked towards a red supercar that the doorman had driven over.
The sleek lines of the car body shimmered with enchanting light under the illumination.
The two arrived at the car, and the doorman respectfully handed over the keys.
Lu Shi took the keys, and then the two got into the car.
With a press of the accelerator, the engine roared, and the car quickly drove away from the place.
"Who is that person? Such a grand display?"
At the bar entrance.
Someone saw this scene and asked their friend beside them curiously.
"That's Lu Shi. The 'Nightfall' Bar is his property."
The friend explained.
"Lu Shi, I think I've heard of him. Isn't he that rich second-generation internet celebrity who changes girlfriends every few months? I heard his father used to be involved with a gang, and his businesses are spread across several cities around Qirong City..."
The person who spoke earlier seemed to remember something.
The two talked.
What no one noticed was.
Under the shade of a tree on a distant street, a tall figure stood, his gaze seemingly fixed on the direction the sports car had departed.
