Chapter 209: New Strengthening Potion

Seeing that this didn't work, I was furious. I kicked the table next to me with great force. The table flew out and slammed heavily onto the ground, hitting quite a few people, though no one was injured.

However, after this move, the people around no longer treated me as just someone looking for attention. They knew I was mostly likely here to pick a fight, so they all moved far away from me. Usually, in this situation, the security staff in the bar would come over to deal with me immediately, so they just needed to wait.

Sure enough, a few people came over shouting, "Who the hell is causing trouble here? Don't want to live anymore?"

Seeing these people come over, I couldn't help but smile. I happened to know all of them; they were the exact same people from when I came to smash the place. Back then, these were the same people I beat until their faces were bruised and swollen; some of them still had bruises on their faces now.

"It's you guys again. It's perfect, I won't waste words with you. Where is your Tiger Brother? Tell him to come over!" Seeing they were acquaintances, I sat directly at the bar and said to them indifferently.

When they saw it was me, their faces turned exceptionally ugly. They all looked troubled and said to me respectfully, "Brother Yang, we don't know what business you have coming here?"

"I told you to have Huang Laohu come over, didn't you hear me?" Seeing that these people actually didn't take my words to heart, I was so angry I roared at them.

Only then did they hurriedly run off. It seems that saying is correct: people are just cheap; only when you are fierce to them, when you beat them, will they act.

Not long after, Huang Laohu ran over in a hurry. Upon seeing me, although Huang Laohu's face was ugly, he had to force a smile and say to me, "I don't know what business Brother Yang has coming here?"

I smiled and looked at Huang Laohu, saying, "Nothing much, I just missed you and came over to chat!"

"Brother Yang, you really know how to joke. What could I possibly have that you would miss?"

"Of course you do. For example, your body, your head—I've been thinking about them every single moment!"

Hearing this, the sweat on Huang Laohu's face couldn't help but pour down. Immediately, he said to his subordinates nearby, "Drive everyone out of the bar! We're not open today!"

These people understood and hurriedly went to drive the customers away. As for the onlookers, although they didn't want to leave, they had to leave due to Huang Laohu's threat.

Seeing that most of the people were gone, Huang Laohu hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Brother Yang, what are you doing? We've known each other for a while, and I even helped you before!"

"That's right, you did help me back then. I still remember when I was in school, you were the one who helped me get it settled, right?"

"That's right, that's right. I didn't expect Brother Yang to still remember that. So, Brother Yang, do you think you can let me go?"

"Let you go? Letting you go is possible, as long as you tell me the truth about what happened back then. What was the reason you guys didn't come, and what exactly was going on back then!"

Hearing this, Huang Laohu's face turned ugly; clearly, he was afraid to speak. It seemed the person behind him made Huang Laohu very wary. Huang Laohu dismissed the people around and said, "Brother Yang, it's not that I won't tell you, it's that I've already told you everything I know!"

"Heh, you still don't intend to tell the truth? It seems you intend to shoulder this matter all by yourself, is that it?"

My expression was icy. I held a broken beer bottle and walked slowly toward Huang Laohu.

Huang Laohu was so scared he retreated while begging for mercy: "Brother Yang, what I said is all true. Don't be impulsive. You're still young, don't go down the path of crime!"

"Get lost! I think you're just someone who won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Since you want to shoulder it for others, then don't blame me!"

After saying this, I fiercely took the beer bottle in my hand and stabbed it directly into the table next to Huang Laohu. The entire table was pierced through by the beer bottle. Huang Laohu was so scared his face turned green, sweat poured down his face, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing that he didn't intend to speak even at this point, I had no intention of continuing to ask. I threw the beer bottle in my hand and said to Huang Laohu, who was slumped on the ground: "You brat, remember this: this matter isn't over. Be careful these next few days. If anything happens, don't blame me for not warning you!"

After saying this, I took Xiao Huan and left.

Huang Laohu was trembling uncontrollably. Just as he wanted to stand up, I turned my head, scaring Huang Laohu so much he sat back down on the ground again.

"By the way, what was your relationship with the Li family before? Those experts of yours from before, if I'm not mistaken, they were all created using the Li family's strengthening potion, right?"

Hearing me ask this, Huang Laohu was also somewhat surprised. Although this matter was relatively secretive, it wasn't a very private secret; many underworld forces knew about it, so he simply didn't intend to hide it.

"I just had some dealings with the Li family. The Li family is now selling a large amount of new strengthening potions throughout the underworld. As long as an ordinary person eats it, they immediately become an expert in Wu Gong. This kind of potion is far better than the earliest ones, has no side effects, and the price is within a range everyone can accept. Many people are dealing with the Li family!"

Hearing this, I finally understood. The reason the Li family had been able to become so powerful over these past few months was because of these potions. And because of these dealings, as long as they had money and experts, naturally no family could oppose them.

However, I didn't agree with Huang Laohu's claim that the strengthening potion had no side effects. I figured that was just an exaggeration by the Li family to sell the medicine better. How could this kind of medicine have no side effects? If it really had no side effects, what would be the point of us practicing and training every day? We might as well all just go eat medicine.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then do you know what relationship Xu Hongzhi has with the Li family?"

Hearing my question, Huang Laohu was startled and hurriedly shook his head excitedly, saying, "I don't know, I don't know!"

Seeing that this guy didn't want to talk, I didn't force him, so I left.

Huang Laohu wiped the sweat off his face with trembling hands. His legs, which he had originally wanted to stand on, stumbled and fell again. He hurried in a panic to Xu Hongzhi's house.

Seeing Xu Hongzhi, Huang Laohu knelt beside him and cried, "Brother Zhi, you have to save me!"
