Chapter 15: Wiping Them Out

"Ah! My hand! My hand!!"

For a moment, only the bald man's screams remained inside the clothing store.

Whether it was Sun Rongrong and the other shop assistants, or the bald man's subordinates, all were stunned on the spot, watching this unbelievable scene.

In their line of sight, Chen Che held a beauty in one arm and gripped the bald man's hand with the other, his expression so calm.

The expressions of the other two, however, were quite intriguing.

Cheng Kexiang let Chen Che hold her, staring fixedly at his profile, her eyes filled with adoration and love.

The bald man, meanwhile, had a ferocious expression, sweat covering his head, dragging his body backward, yet he could not pull his gripped hand away no matter what.

Crack, crack...

The sound of bones fracturing slowly emerged; the bald man was in such pain he knelt on the ground, his face flushed red.

"What are you all standing there for? Go get him!"

The bald man roared, ordering his subordinates.

Four or five rushed forward, scrambling to save their boss.

Chen Che let go at this moment, lifted his leg, and kicked the bald man in the chest.

The bald man flew backward; the four or five lackeys reached out to catch him together, but were knocked over by the violent impact, falling to the ground in a heap, all spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Sun Rongrong covered her face and stood up from the ground, staring at this scene in a daze.

She turned her head mechanically to look at Chen Che, whose expression remained as light and breezy as ever, as if that kick just now were as ordinary as taking a casual step.

"The boss's boyfriend is actually this powerful? Could he be a Martial Artist?"

"It must be! How could a normal person's kick have such power!"

"So we were the ones with no eye for talent! We even wanted to chase them away just now, I feel so ashamed!"

The shop assistants who witnessed everything whispered among themselves.

Chen Che released Cheng Kexiang and walked toward the bald man.

Seeing Chen Che walking over, the bald man's brothers felt as if they had seen the Grim Reaper; ignoring the pain of their several broken ribs, they fled in a panic.

The bald man had wanted to run too, but the moment he saw Chen Che, his legs went weak, and he couldn't move at all.

"Brother, if you want that woman, I can let her go to you. We have no grudge, there's no need to kill us all. You are a Martial Artist, and I am a member of the Qibao Association; if you are willing, I can recommend you to join the Qibao Association!"

Seeing Chen Che unmoved, the bald man, in his fear, subconsciously threatened: "As long as you join the Qibao Association, you will have everything, whether it's money or women! But if you insist on killing me, the Qibao Association will absolutely not let you go! Even if you are a Martial Artist, it's useless, because the Qibao Association not only has a Seventh Grade Martial Artist sitting in command, but also a Strange Gate Dunjia Master; killing you is just as easy!"

At this moment, Sun Rongrong rushed over and grabbed Chen Che, saying: "He's right, you can't kill him. If you kill him, the Qibao Association will come for revenge!"

Cheng Kexiang also walked over and advised: "Let him go. You and I don't need to fear the Qibao Association, but they do."

Cheng Kexiang looked at Sun Rongrong and the other shop assistants, a hint of maturity appearing in her gaze.

Chen Che swept his gaze over the faces of Cheng Kexiang and the others, then nodded.

Seeing this, the bald man breathed a sigh of relief and became arrogant again: "That's more like it! If you kill me, the Qibao Association won't let anyone here go! So you all must now respectfully send me out!"

Chen Che stepped forward slowly and said coldly: "When did I say I would let you go?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned!

"You... the Qibao Association won't let anyone go..."

The heart the bald man had just settled hung back up; before he could finish his sentence, Chen Che suddenly slapped him across the face.

Slap!

The bald man's neck twisted to the side, and teeth flew out of his mouth.

Cheng Kexiang and Sun Rongrong hurriedly stopped him.

"You can't!"

Cheng Kexiang's eyes were clear as she stared at Chen Che.

Chen Che shrugged and said: "I know you are doing this for the employees, but things have reached this point; backing down won't solve the fundamental problem. If he leaves today, he will come back to cause trouble tomorrow."

Sun Rongrong sighed: "I know everything you're saying, but this is the best solution."

"If I weren't here, it would be. But since I am here, it is not," Chen Che said.

Sun Rongrong frowned: "Then what do you suggest?"

"Just wipe out the Qibao Association and be done with it."

Chen Che's expression was calm, as if he were talking about the most trivial of matters.

Once these words were spoken, everyone except Cheng Kexiang was dumbfounded, unable to imagine what they had just heard!

They all felt this person was simply too arrogant, thinking himself invincible just because he was a Martial Artist!

The Qibao Association wasn't just one person; it was the leader of the underground forces in Shanghai, a behemoth capable of contending with the wealthy families of Shanghai!

Wipe out the Qibao Association?

What a joke!

Even the Zhang Family, the top tier in Shanghai, wouldn't dare say such a thing!

Cheng Kexiang also felt it wasn't feasible, but she wasn't thinking that Chen Che couldn't do it, but rather worrying that Chen Che would get hurt because of it.

"But this man just said the Qibao Association has a Seventh Grade Martial Artist and a Strange Gate Dunjia Master; can you handle it alone? Won't you get hurt? Should we find my sister..."

Chen Che interrupted Cheng Kexiang and said: "It's a small matter. You wait here; I expect to be back before dark."

Cheng Kexiang nodded obediently.

Listening to their conversation, Sun Rongrong wondered if someone had gone crazy?!

Chen Che squatted down in front of the bald man, who reflexively covered his mouth and dodged backward, begging for mercy: "Big Brother, I was wrong, I won't be arrogant anymore! Please, let me go!"

The bald man didn't care if Chen Che could wipe out the Qibao Association; either way, if he could kill him, his life would be over if he kept being arrogant!

"Big Brother, as long as you let me go, I'm willing to be your beast of burden!"

The bald man lay on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

Chen Che waved his hand: "Forget about being a beast of burden; take me to find the boss of the Qibao Association."

The bald man was stunned; he hadn't expected Chen Che to actually want to challenge the Qibao Association!

"I... I can't see Master Shen, I can only take you to find my boss," the bald man said.

Chen Che nodded: "That works too, let's go."

Chen Che and the bald man left.

The clothing store erupted into chaos, and the employees surrounded Cheng Kexiang.

"Boss, why didn't you stop your boyfriend!"

"That's right, even if he is a Martial Artist, it's impossible for him to beat the Qibao Association alone!"

"Exactly, him going like this is just going to his death. Boss, you don't actually have to worry about us; at worst, we'll head back to our hometowns overnight!"

The employees spoke one after another, all feeling that Chen Che would never return.

Sun Rongrong grabbed Cheng Kexiang and said: "Kexiang, you should leave quickly! Don't worry about that boyfriend of yours; I'll gather up all the liquid cash in the store, and we can all leave together!"

Cheng Kexiang smiled warmly: "Rongrong, I know you all mean well, but please rest assured, I prom... my boyfriend is not an ordinary person, he is very powerful!"

Sun Rongrong looked at Cheng Kexiang with a helpless expression; she knew this girl was stubborn and wouldn't leave.

"Fine. Since you aren't leaving, I won't either. Anyway, I still have family in Shanghai; if I run, they'll suffer too. I'll stay, at least we can die together!"

Sun Rongrong said with a sense of resignation and deep sorrow.

"That's right, I'm not leaving either!"

"I'm not leaving either!"

The employees also expressed one after another that they wouldn't leave, staying behind to wait for the final outcome.

Cheng Kexiang sensed the fear in the eyes of Sun Rongrong and the others; they were just being tough, as waiting for death was an agonizing experience.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. I said it will be fine, so it will be fine," Cheng Kexiang comforted them with a smile.

………

Night fell, and the neon lights flickered.

Inside a private room on the 30th floor, the top floor of the Qibao Club, the headquarters of the Qibao Association.

The founder of the Qibao Association, Shen Qi, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the ground with a haughty expression.

He held his phone, and the voice of his subordinate reporting reached his ears.

"Boss, the person has entered!"

"Good, let him come up to the 30th floor."

Shen Qi hung up the phone and turned to look at the two people, one young and one old, sitting on the sofa behind him.
