Bang!!!

Just as Lu Zhou was about to get his boxed meal, a black Audi A6 slammed into the rear of a Maybach, cutting off its reverse route.

Sitting in the car, Lin Dongfan burst out a black line: "This is my wife's dowry, Lao Ba, can you drive with your glasses on?"

"I did it on purpose!"

Lao Ba finished speaking and pushed open the door to get out.

He really did it on purpose; the other party's Maybach is worth several million, and anyway they wouldn't dare call the police after being hit, so why not hit them—this is the best way to cut off their retreat.

"Lao Ba, you motherfucker, why did you only just show up? I'm about to be beaten to death." Liu Wu lay on the ground, wailing in pain; while speaking, he got hit again with a baseball bat on his arm.

"Hey! Your underpants fell off."

Lao Ba shouted at the bodyguard ahead; when the latter turned his head to look, Lao Ba threw a punch that whooshed onto his face.

In the dim light, two bloody teeth flew out.

"Damn! Another one looking for death!" The bodyguard who was beating Lu Zhou abandoned him and rushed at Lao Ba.

A baseball bat whooshed over, and Lao Ba directly raised his arm to block.

"Smack!"

The baseball bat snapped in two.

Lao Ba's arm was completely fine; he would never tell anyone that he had a metal wrist guard hidden in his sleeve. In the instant the opponent's eyes widened in shock, Lao Ba launched a counterpunch.

"Ugh!"

The sound was miserable.

If observed in slow motion, one would see that when Lao Ba's fist struck the opponent's cheek, the muscles on the opponent's cheek underwent violent trembling deformation.

With just one punch, he knocked the opponent to the ground, KO'ing him on the spot.

Lao Ba turned and walked toward the bodyguard who had lost two teeth; without waiting for him to get up, he kicked the man's abdomen, sending the 150-plus‑jin body flying low over the ground for ten-some meters.

"Two good-for-nothings, not worth a thing together!"

Lao Ba smugly wiped his nose, then asked Liu Wu, who was lying on the ground: "Want me to call 120? I've told you to train more, but you motherfucker don't train, so you won't get a share of the year‑end raise."

Saying that, he reached out to pull Liu Wu up.

Liu Wu shouted urgently: "Don't! My hand feels broken; first go check on Lu Zhou—he was screaming terribly earlier, then fell silent, I don't know if he's dead."

"That one at the stairwell?"

Lao Ba looked toward the stairwell entrance, saw the person lying motionless on the ground, and walked over.

At that moment, Zou Feiyun suddenly lowered the car window and shouted: "Hey you! I see you can fight—how about considering working for me? I can give you money and beautiful women."

This is clearly an attempt to win Lao Ba over—his opening move is a king bomb!

A man struggles his whole life—what for? Isn't it just for this? Lao Ba turned and asked: "How much are you offering me per month?"

Zou Feiyun replied without hesitation: "An annual salary of five million."

Upon hearing that.

Lin Dongfan, sitting in the Audi car, angrily pushed open the door.
