Chapter 80: Want to eat something first?

Ma Zicheng and Lin Su arrived at a Reception Hall in the Qibao Club.

Ma Zijun and Shen Qi were discussing matters; seeing Ma Zicheng, Shen Qi stood up and greeted him first.

"This must be the Second Young Master. I am Shen Qi, a pleasure to meet you."

Shen Qi's attitude was respectful as he bowed in greeting. Ma Zicheng, however, was very impolite, walking straight past Shen Qi and plopping himself down in Shen Qi's seat.

"I know your name is Shen Qi. Cut the crap. I'm asking you: in Shanghai, is there really nothing you can't handle and no one you can't deal with?"

Ma Zicheng picked up a teacup, took a sip, then spat it out, his tone carrying a distinct air of coming to settle scores.

Shen Qi's mouth twitched; faced with Ma Zicheng's arrogance, he really wanted to give him a good slap.

But since the other party was from the Jinling Ma Family, he couldn't afford to offend him and had to play the subservient role.

"The Second Young Master is right. In Shanghai, there is nothing and no one that I, Shen Qi, cannot handle."

Shen Qi stood where he was, maintaining his bowing posture.

"Very good. Since that's the case, I have a favor to ask of you," Ma Zicheng said, crossing his legs and acting high and mighty.

"What are you trying to stir up now?"

The young man sitting opposite couldn't watch any longer and spoke up to question him.

The young man was Ma Zicheng's older brother, Ma Zijun.

He was thirty-two years old, wore a rare four-six parted hairstyle, had handsome features, fair skin, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and was dressed in a shirt, dress trousers, and casual leather shoes, looking like a business elite and giving off a refined impression.

"Big Brother, the person who robbed me tonight is right here in the Qibao Club! I saw my car at the entrance!"

Ma Zicheng looked as if he wanted to eat someone alive.

"I am discussing serious business with Master Shen Qi. I will settle accounts with you in a moment!" Ma Zijun warned in a low voice.

Ma Zijun had heard about Ma Zicheng's affairs through Lin Su.

Running naked in the park and the tragic death of Fu Chang, who was in the True Person Realm—all of this made him very unhappy!

"Master Shen Qi, I apologize. My younger brother has encountered some trouble tonight and has been disrespectful in his speech. I hope you will forgive him."

Ma Zijun stood up and bowed slightly to Shen Qi to apologize.

"The First Young Master is too kind. It is my lack of hospitality. Since the person who provoked the Second Young Master is in my Qibao Club, it is only right that I apprehend them and hand them over to the Second Young Master as a greeting gift."

Shen Qi was very satisfied with Ma Zijun's attitude and also appreciated his demeanor as a scion of a prominent family, so he replied with a gesture of goodwill.

"Good, very good!"

Ma Zicheng jumped up and said, "Have your people check which room the person who drove that Mercedes SUV outside is in. I'm going to catch him myself!"

"Very well, I will give the order now," Shen Qi said.

"Oh, right!"

Ma Zicheng thought of something and added, "Call a few more people. That bastard is also a Martial Artist, though his realm isn't high, but he knows some crooked tricks. Tell your people to keep their wits about them so they don't fall for it."

"Understood, I will give the instructions."

Faced with Ma Zicheng's face, which was like that of someone ordering a servant around, Shen Qi suppressed the anger in his heart and called his subordinates to give the orders.

After obtaining the room number, he personally accompanied Ma Zicheng to go there.

Ma Zijun and Lin Su had no choice but to follow; on one hand, they were afraid Ma Zicheng would go too far, and on the other, they truly wanted to see what the person who dared to rob the Second Young Master of the Jinling Ma Family and cripple Fu Chang, a True Qi Realm expert, actually looked like.

The group arrived outside the door of Chen Che and Ma Menghan's room. Ma Zicheng turned back to remind them again, "Remember what I just said. That bastard knows some wild tricks, so be careful!"

After giving the instructions, Ma Zicheng rolled up his sleeves and kicked the door open with great force.

"Boom!"

Ma Zicheng rushed in and happened to see Chen Che eating a late-night snack.

"You little brat, didn't expect your grandfather to be here, did you!" Ma Zicheng's face was ferocious as he sneered, "I'm going to skin you alive today!"

Seeing Ma Zicheng rush in, Chen Che looked surprised, as he also hadn't expected this.

"What a narrow path for enemies," Chen Che sighed inwardly, then saw Shen Qi behind Ma Zicheng.

Shen Qi also saw Chen Che; his expression froze, and he was shocked beyond measure.

He clearly hadn't expected Chen Che to be here, and even less did he expect that the person who had a grudge with Ma Zicheng was actually Chen Che.

"Shen Qi, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell your men to tie him up for me!"

Seeing that Shen Qi hadn't moved, Ma Zicheng shouted and urged him.

"Slap!"

Shen Qi turned and slapped Ma Zicheng across the face.

For a moment, Ma Zicheng, Ma Zijun, and Lin Su were all dumbfounded.

What was going on? Was there a mistake?

Ma Zicheng clutched his face and roared angrily, "Why are you hitting me? Hit him!"

"Slap!"

Shen Qi swung another slap, sending Ma Zicheng reeling with stars in his eyes.

"I'm hitting you, that's who!"

Shen Qi had long been dissatisfied with Ma Zicheng, and now that he learned he had offended his own master, Chen Che, he took the opportunity to vent his new and old grievances at once.

"Master Shen Qi!"

Ma Zijun squeezed in and said in a low voice, "I know my younger brother has been disrespectful to you, but is it not a bit inappropriate for Master Shen Qi to take action at a time like this?"

"Inappropriate your grandmother's head!"

Shen Qi scolded him back without any courtesy, and Ma Zijun's face instantly darkened.

However, what happened next made his jaw drop even further.

Just then,

Shen Qi walked up to Chen Che, knelt on both knees, and looked as respectful as a pet seeing its owner: "This dog did not know of Master's arrival; I ask for Master's punishment!"

Thump, thump, thump!

The four or five big men brought by Shen Qi also knelt down one after another, saying in unison:

"Please punish us, Master!"

"Please punish us, Master!"

"Please punish us, Master!"

Inside the thirty-some square meter room, the several members of the Qibao Association were all kneeling and kowtowing; the scene was quite spectacular.

Ma Zicheng's expression was dazed, feeling that the scene before his eyes was not quite real.

Lin Su was even more dumbfounded, her open mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

Ma Zijun's brows were tightly furrowed, his heart similarly shocked beyond measure.

But while shocked, his reason remained, and his brain spun rapidly.

Before coming to Shanghai, he had heard that the Qibao Association had been making constant moves recently. The most famous one, of course, was the annexation of the Qian Family, the second-ranked family in Shanghai.

But what drew the attention of the Martial Artist circle was that Shen Qi had gone from an ordinary person to a Martial Artist in one leap, capable of holding his own even when facing an Eighth Grade.

The Qibao Association was enjoying boundless prestige for a time, naturally sparking speculation from all sides.

And there was only one possibility for why the Qibao Association could suddenly become so powerful.

Help from a noble person!

Ma Zijun had come to find Shen Qi for help partly to find someone—as a local snake, Shen Qi was more convenient than him.

On the other hand, he also wanted to probe indirectly to see if there really was an expert behind Shen Qi.

Now, the truth was clear!

Even with mental preparation, Ma Zijun was still quite surprised, because this expert... looked a bit too young!

"What's the situation?"

Chen Che wiped the grease from his mouth and asked.

Shen Qi looked up and said with fear and trepidation: "Master, it is like this..."

Shen Qi explained the matter concisely, and Chen Che understood it all.

"That really is quite a coincidence, but let's put the matter of revenge aside for now."

Chen Che pointed at the fast food on the table and said with a serious face: "I ordered a bit too much; why don't you all eat something first? Of course, it's my treat."

"Uh..."

Ma Zijun pushed up his glasses, feeling that this expert was truly different from what he had imagined!

Clatter!

At this moment, the sliding door of the bathroom opened, and the figure of Ma Menghan appeared.

Her expression was confused as she looked around the room, her gaze finally landing on Ma Zijun.

Ma Menghan's expression was surprised, and she blurted out: "Brother!?"

"Menghan!"

Ma Zijun was also startled; clearly, Ma Menghan appearing here was completely beyond his expectations.

Seeing Ma Menghan, Ma Zicheng's body trembled, and after glancing at Ma Zijun, he thought, it's over!

He dove headfirst and played dead!

However,

At this moment, Chen Che raised a hand covered in grease and said: "How about... we eat while we chat?"
