41 I Can Provide For You! (1/2)

Wrong target?!

Xiao Luo halted his attack. His hand that was like an eagle's talon abruptly stopped a few centimeters from the face of the guy who was talking. Phew! That was a close call.

The two of them were males in their thirties. Both had a bowl cut and were brawny. Despite not being very tall, their rippled muscles were beautifully defined.

Now the two of them were standing there in shock, staring in awe at the Xiao Luo's fists. They felt that they had taken a trip to and from the gates of hell and were happy they identified themselves before things turned nasty--and they got hurt.

Thinking about this, the two subconsciously quivered as they thought, where did our boss find such a beast?

Yes, a beast!

That was their impression of Xiao Luo, though his appearance was at odds with his strength. With his good looks and slim body, he looked like a bookworm or a nerd, certainly not a brutal, outrageously intense fighter.

”Xiang Gaoyang? Xiang Gaojian?”

Xiao Luo retracted his hand and studied the two guys standing in front of him.

Before Xiao Luo came to Huaye, Chu Yunxiong showed him pictures of these two bodyguards to prevent any accidents from friendly fire, as almost just happened.

The more wiry guy quickly saluted and said respectfully, ”Yes, that's us!

The other person also held his fists together and bowed, ”Mr. Xiao, thanks for your swift intervention. Were it not for you, the young mistress might have been…”

”No need for courtesy. Like you, I'm here to protect Ms. Chu.”

Xiao Luo wasn't used to people older than himself bowing to him. ”Since you're here, I'll turn Ms. Chu and her friend over to you.”

”All right.”

”Oh, one thing, though. Just say that you saved them. Don't expose me,” Xiao Luo exhorted.

”All right, Mr. Xiao. We know what to say,” Xiang Gaoyang nodded.

”Thank you.”

Xiao Luo turned around and left, thinking about the 150,000 on the three credit cards he still hadn't transferred to his bank account.

The next day... inside the headquarters of the Chongshan House.

Dressed in casual attire and a golf cap, Chu Yunxiong was hitting the white ball in front of a big screen that displayed a simulated golf course. Every time he swung the club, he could see the trajectory of the white ball that flew out. It felt just like a real golf course as it was exceptionally realistic.

Leng You was standing at the side respectfully in a black suit.

He was giving his boss a report at the moment, ”The one who assaulted the young mistress last night was Hua Nation's well-known hunter: the Specter. His real name is unknown because he regularly establishes a new identity every so often. Until recently, he went by Ma Zhengfeng.”

”Hiring such a person to deal with me. It looks like Old Demon Jiang is desperate.”

Chu Yunxiong forcefully swung the club. The golf ball flew out at high speed, and after making a beautiful arc, it landed around three meters from the hole.

Leng You nodded, ”Fortunately, Xiao Luo was there this time, or the young mistress would've been…”

He didn't finish his sentence, but what he was implying was very clear.

”That two million is well worth it, is it not!” Chu Yunxiong faintly smiled.

Leng You felt a little awkward because he had previously doubted Xiao Luo's ability and even said so in front of Chu Yunxiong. He thought that Xiao Luo was only slightly better in fighting than he was and would not necessarily have the ability to protect someone else.

”Gaoyang and Gaojian miscalculated this time. The enemy's little tricks easily lured them away from Chu Yue. Tell them I never want to see that again.” Chu Yunxiong's weary eyes flashed a wave of chilly anger.

Leng Zuo and Leng You quickly answered with a nod, ”Yes, sir!”
