Chapter 166: A Grand Spectacle
"Get up there and finish them off."
Seeing that Xia Yu didn't take them seriously and dared to let the workers continue working, those thugs immediately issued the order.
Watching them rush forward brandishing steel pipes, the workers retreated repeatedly.
At this moment, Xia Yu made his move.
Like a leopard, he darted forward, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"Ah..."
A scene that completely defied expectations unfolded. A piercing chorus of screams rang out, and those thugs, like helpless children before Xia Yu, possessed no ability to resist whatsoever, easily being wounded and knocked to the ground by him.
A few minutes later, all twenty or so thugs were lying flat on the ground. Xia Yu calmly used one of his adversary's clothes to wipe his short blade clean.
He looked up at the yellow-haired man, who was completely dumbfounded, and smiled faintly, "Do you really think we are easy to bully?"
"Speak, who put you up to this?"
"Confess honestly, lest you suffer."
The yellow-haired man stepped back two paces, trembling, staring in terror at the scene. He hadn't expected this outcome; this guy was simply too freakishly strong! He had seen martial artists before, but never one with such terrifying prowess!
"It... it was Young Master Chu who made me do this."
"Oh, who is Young Master Chu?"
Xia Yu was surprised. Shouldn't it have been Liang Zichao?
"You don't even know Young Master Chu? He's Chu Li from the Four Seas Group."
"I know the Four Seas Group. He must be part of Liang Zichao's circle."
Chu Zhitong, recovering herself beside him, looked at Xia Yu with a strange gaze. This fellow actually possessed such terrifying combat skills.
"Oh, then it's no surprise," Xia Yu smiled. "Call him over. Oh, and by the way, have him call Liang Zichao as well."
"Call everyone you can. I, Xia Yu, will right here and wait for them."
"You... are you sure?" the yellow-haired man asked in astonishment.
Could this guy be any more arrogant? He actually dared to face the circle of young scions head-on. One had to know that the coalition of wealthy heirs in Shenzhen formed a formidable force; ordinary people wouldn't dare offend them.
"Stop wasting your breath! If they don't show up, don't even think about leaving either!"
Xia Yu said coldly, an inexpressible dominance in his tone.
Since things had escalated to this point today, it was better to settle it once and for all to prevent them from pulling these petty tricks and affecting the project's progress.
"Fine, fine, I'll call..."
The yellow-haired man swallowed hard; it seemed Xia Yu was no ordinary person!
He dialed Chu Li's number and explained the situation.
Chu Li was currently at his company and immediately called Liang Zichao.
"Young Master Liang, tell me, is this brat supremely arrogant, or is he simply looking down on us?"
"He actually told us to call everyone we can. Isn't he a bit too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth?"
On the other end, Liang Zichao was slightly startled, then chuckled coldly, "Since he wants a challenge, we must accompany him and play along today. Ah-Li, your family has close ties with people from the underworld, so make the arrangements."
"Done. Today we'll teach him a lesson he won't forget, or else he'll really think we're pushovers. Heh."
The two of them set things in motion, instantly stirring up quite a storm.
"Xia Yu, are we just going to sit here and wait for our doom?"
Chu Zhitong walked over, asking with a hint of worry.
"Don't worry. Since they don't want us to finish this project, we'll have to face them sooner or later, so it's better to get it over with early."
Xia Yu smiled. "Don't worry, with me here, let's see who is afraid of whom."
Chu Zhitong nodded. From this moment on, she truly began to feel that Xia Yu was not a simple man.
He was a deeply hidden, unfathomable person.
Half an hour later.
Nearly ten commercial vans and luxury cars suddenly drove up and parked along the roadside. A crowd holding steel pipes leaped down from the vehicles in a mighty procession, intentionally or unintentionally displaying tattoos. They looked majestic and imposing, creating a startling spectacle.
Before long, the people from the vehicles gathered together. Countless heads formed a sea of people with surging momentum. Leading them was a man with a crew cut, a terrifying scar across his face, and a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Several suave men stepped out of the luxury cars, wearing designer suits and the airs of young gentlemen.
They were precisely the scions Chu Li, Zhang Hai, and Liang Zichao.
"Scarface, how many people?" Chu Li asked.
"Young Master Chu, just as you said, I've called upon all the brothers we could gather. Three hundred men in total," Scarface replied respectfully.
"Good. Young Master Liang, is three hundred men enough to give him a taste of hell?" Chu Li asked with arrogant laughter.
"Heh, as expected of Ah-Li, I'm impressed," Liang Zichao said with a faint smile.
The men walked arrogantly toward Xia Yu and the others, forming a massive, oppressive dark wave. Li Shen and Chu Zhitong turned pale with fright, murmuring that they were doomed, never expecting things to blow up to this magnitude.
"Gosh, what is going on here?!"
"Holy crap, go take a look quickly, what a massive spectacle."
A few scattered passersby watched the scene in utter bewilderment, closing the distance slightly to observe this rare spectacle.
"Look, Brother Scar is here!" cried the thugs previously injured by Xia Yu, sounding excited.
The yellow-haired man shivered all over, looking smugly at Xia Yu. Did this guy regret it yet? He had actually dared to arrogantly tell them to call everyone they could.
The workers trembled even more violently with fear.
Only Xia Yu remained completely expressionless, watching the approaching crowd calmly.
"Xia Yu, you really are arrogant enough. You actually dared to wait here for us," Liang Zichao lit a cigarette and said haughtily. "I know you can fight pretty well, but do you honestly think you can beat these several hundred people?"
"Today, we are going to settle all our old and new scores together. Let's see whether you die or I perish!"
As his voice fell, Chu Li gave a subtle cue, and Scarface immediately signaled his men to surround them completely.
The workers rushed to the side in fright, signaling that they had nothing to do with this and were merely hired laborers.
Li Shen and Chu Zhitong found it hard to maintain their composure. Seeing those hordes of people brandishing weapons and surrounding them densely, Li Shen couldn't help but look at Xia Yu. Did this guy really intend to take on several hundred people by himself? Big Brother, you're formidable, but we can't fight!
"Damn your mother, feeling cocky, are you? Looks like you've lived long enough!"
Scarface stood at the front, speaking with vicious malice.
"Keep being arrogant, let's see if you still dare to act tough."
Chu Li chimed in with arrogance, "A good-for-nothing kept son, don't think that just because you managed to latch onto Xiao Jun's coattails, you can do whatever you want and feel like you're somebody special."
"To put it bluntly, you're nothing more than a dog. You are still far from having the capital to establish a foothold in our upper-class circle."
"Today, this young master will teach you a proper lesson!"
The young scions stared down at Xia Yu with disdain, looking immensely pleased with themselves.
Liang Zichao was already calculating whether to seize this opportunity to eliminate him completely.
"Get him! I want to see just how well he can fight!"
Following Chu Li's resounding shout, Scarface ordered the attack.
The sight of several hundred men itching for action was indeed terrifying. Li Shen kept chanting that they were doomed.
At that very moment, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed from an unknown direction.
"Who the hell dares to touch Brother Yu?!"
A flurry of footsteps sounded. Everyone turned their heads to look, and their jaws dropped in absolute shock.
