Chapter 172: Retribution is Swift

"Slap!"

A loud slap echoed throughout the entire room.

After Chen Che slapped Long Yi flying, he did not pause and slapped Jiang Kui across the face.

For this slap, Chen Che deliberately restrained his True Qi; it didn't cause much damage, but the insult was extreme!

Jiang Kui himself, his lackeys, and the girls hiding in the corner were all dumbfounded!

Following the shock of seeing Long Yi slapped away in an instant, they were stunned once again!

Only Shen Qi watched the dazed Jiang Kui with an expression of excitement and relief, as if saying: "Aren't you arrogant? Try calling out again!"

Jiang Kui turned his head, covered his face, and stared at Chen Che with wide eyes, his face full of shock and disbelief.

"You... you actually dare to hit me?"

Jiang Kui had not yet recovered from what just happened; compared to Long Yi being taken out in a second, he found it even harder to accept that he had been hit.

And this was done after the other party learned of his background in the Scorpion Society.

"Slap!"

Chen Che did not reply; he swung his hand again and slapped Jiang Kui on the other side of his face.

The hearts of Jiang Kui's lackeys and the girls watching the show skipped a beat again.

He actually did it a second time?! This is too overbearing and completely disregards Jiang Kui, isn't it?!

"I am from the Scorpion Society, you dare to hit me?!"

The second slap brought Jiang Kui to his senses. His face burned with pain, and the sense of humiliation made him forget his fear as he roared at Chen Che.

"Slap!"

Responding to him was another slap from Chen Che, carrying extreme insult.

"My sister is the boss of the Scorpion Society, you dare to hit me—"

"Slap!"

"Do you believe I'll kill—"

"Slap!"

"I'll make one phone call—"

"Slap!"

"I—"

"Slap!"

"............"

"Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me, don't hit me!"

Jiang Kui was beaten back step by step, finally falling onto his butt on the ground, covering his face and begging for mercy.

Chen Che looked down at him from above and said with a playful smile, "Is Young Master Jiang satisfied?"

"Sat... satisfied—"

"Slap!"

Before Jiang Kui could finish, Chen Che slapped him again.

"Ah~~"

Jiang Kui's head tilted to the side as he sprawled on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and he groaned in pain.

Chen Che clapped his hands, looking pleased. Jiang Kui was satisfied, and he had hit him to his heart's content.

Chen Che turned his head and glanced casually at Jiang Kui's lackeys.

"Thump!"

The lackeys' hearts all jumped violently, their bodies shook, and the looks they gave Chen Che were full of terror.

That Chen Che could slap Long Yi away meant he was a Martial Artist with strength above Long Yi's, and that Chen Che dared to hit Jiang Kui meant he was not afraid of the Scorpion Society at all.

Facing such a powerful person who feared nothing, how could they not be afraid!?

"Thump!"

"Thump, thump..."

It was unclear who was the first to have weak legs and fall to their knees; the rest, seeing this, did not dare to stand either. They all knelt, prostrated on the ground, and shivered.

Shen Qi rushed over and unleashed a series of kicks on them, cursing: "You little brats, where is your arrogance now?! Instead of studying properly, you learn to hang out in the underworld! Master Qi will let you know the cruelty of society today!"

The lackeys lay on the ground, gritting their teeth and enduring Shen Qi's series of kicks, not daring to make a sound.

After teaching this group of turtles a lesson, Shen Qi came to Jiang Kui, grabbed his shoulder to flip him over, but hadn't struck yet.

Jiang Kui immediately covered his face as a conditioned reflex and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't hit me anymore, don't hit me anymore!"

Shen Qi's hand was already raised; he couldn't feel relieved unless this blow landed!

Seeing the face blocked, he simply turned his palm into a fist and hammered it hard into Jiang Kui's lower abdomen.

"Pfft!"

"Waa-ugh~~"

Jiang Kui's expression changed, and he spat out a mouthful of sour water.

Shen Qi felt relieved, got up, returned to Chen Che's side, and asked, "Master, how should we handle this?"

Chen Che looked at Jiang Kui repeatedly, remembered what Jiang Kui had said earlier, and asked, "You said your sister is the boss of the Scorpion Society?"

"Mm... mmm-hmm."

Jiang Kui nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook his head like a bobblehead.

He had come to the Qibao Association on his own initiative, thinking he would prove he had grown up; he hadn't told his sister when he left, planning to give her a surprise after the matter was done.

However, things didn't work out now, and he had even been beaten into a pig's head; if he were to reveal his sister's name at a time like this, it wouldn't be a surprise, but a shock!

Chen Che raised an eyebrow, smiled in an intriguing way, and said, "I am the same as Young Master Jiang, a tolerant person. If you can compensate for our losses, I can let you leave."

Jiang Kui's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really? Do you keep your word?"

"Of course I keep my word," Chen Che nodded with a smile.

"Fine, how much money? I'll pay!"

Jiang Kui agreed immediately.

He had originally been thinking about how to settle the matter without alerting his sister, so now that Chen Che had taken the initiative to propose compensation, he was naturally very willing.

Chen Che gave Shen Qi a look, and Shen Qi, imitating Jiang Kui's manner from before, pretended to think for a moment and said, "Counting the shop's losses and the mental distress fee, it comes to seven million in total."

"Uh..."

Jiang Kui was stunned, truly feeling the cycle of the Dao and that retribution is swift.

He had originally used seven million to extort compensation from Shen Qi, and now Shen Qi was returning it to him exactly as it was!

However, Jiang Kui was still being naive!

He had intended to accept his defeat, pay the money, and then take his men and leave.

As a result, before he could even speak, Chen Che said first, "I said just now that I am a tolerant person. The number seven million is not good; I will give you all a discount..."

Chen Che held up two fingers and said with a generous expression, "Then, let's make it twenty million."

"Uh..."

Hearing Chen Che's asking price, not only Jiang Kui and the others, but even Shen Qi was dumbfounded.

Shen Qi looked at Chen Che, silently gave a thumbs up, and nodded with a face full of affirmation: "It still has to be the master! I was too shallow!"

"Since when does a discount go up?"

Jiang Kui frowned, his face full of grievance and unwillingness.

Chen Che had a faint smile on his lips, looking at him without speaking.

Jiang Kui's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, I'll pay!"

After speaking, Jiang Kui looked at his underlings crawling on the ground and shouted, "Stop playing dead! I don't have enough money, everyone chip in!"

The underlings immediately got up and crowded around Jiang Kui, the brothers-in-distress hurriedly searching their bodies for wallets and phones.

Shen Qi also called over people from the club to handle the handover and collection.

Half an hour later, the transaction was complete.

Shen Qi brought the bill for Chen Che to see.

Chen Che glanced at it and said, "Only nineteen million, this isn't enough."

Jiang Kui explained, "This is all we can mobilize and take out right now. For that one million, I ask Boss Chen, please grant us some leeway; consider it as me owing you a favor, how about that?"

Jiang Kui's tone was earnest and his attitude humble; after being slapped dozens of times, he had learned to be well-behaved.

"That is possible, but..."

Chen Che paused deliberately, and the hair on the bodies of Jiang Kui and the others stood on end instantly.

"You all have to walk out of here with your butts bare!"

"Thump!"

The heart that had been hanging was finally dead!

Jiang Kui looked even more hopeless, because he remembered clearly that these were the words he had said to Shen Qi before—"Roll back to Shanghai with your butt bare!"

He never expected that it would be fulfilled upon himself today!

Jiang Kui's underlings looked at Jiang Kui with even more resentment, blaming him for why he had to say such things to provoke Shen Qi and Chen Che!

Seeing the difficult expressions on their faces, Chen Che smiled and said, "Seeing that you are in such a difficult position, we will show some kindness and help you out."

Chen Che looked at Shen Qi, and the latter understood immediately, saying with excitement, "You got it!"

Shen Qi excitedly called people over, personally took action, stripped Jiang Kui and the others bare, and threw them out of the Qibao Association.
