Chapter 429 - Sales Department (1/2)

Hong Ji and Ouyang De immediately lost consciousness and slumped to the ground at once. Xiao Luo grabbed both of them with each hand and dragged them toward the doorway of the children’s home.

“They…”

Ji Siying ran up when she saw the two old men collapsing in an unconscious state. A worried expression showed on her face.

In a hushed voice, Xiao Luo said to her, “They’re alright. They’ll just become two ordinary men once they regain their consciousness later.”

He had made a purchase in the system mall earlier for a technique to remove both the old men’s fighting abilities. When he slapped them on their heads, he had instantly blocked Hong Ji and Ouyang De’s abilities to channel their inner power ever again. He had turned them into two ordinary men, and this way, there was nothing much either of them could do, even if they chose to continue their long feud.

Ji Siying sighed with relief after moments of suspense, and her heart was finally at ease. She smiled warmly as she rushed toward Xiao Luo, and said, “Mr. Xiao Luo, you are truly a great person!”

A great person?

This wasn’t the first time Xiao Luo had heard someone praise him like that. And although he knew that there was no underlying meaning to what Ji Siying had said, still, he listened to those three words with a tinge of irony.

Suddenly, he felt uneasy as he felt a great discomfort welling up within his chest, and soon, he tasted blood at the back of his throat. He tried to hold it in, but fresh blood started to flow out from the corner of his mouth.

“You… you are you injured?”

Ji Siying asked, quickly holding on to him, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.

Xiao Luo forced a smile as he took a glance at Hong Ji and Ouyang De, and in an attempt to change the topic, he said, “These two old men have been rivals from the day they were born and were determined to fight each other to death today. Yet, they still showed deep concern toward one another. When Ouyang De saw that Hong Ji had lost an arm, you could see that his eyes were filled with pain. And when Hong Ji stared at Ouyang De, it wasn’t the look of hostility when one saw an enemy, but rather, a look of welcome to an old friend.”

Ji Siying had no interest in what Xiao Luo said at the moment and was more concerned about his wellbeing. “Are your injuries severe? Let me take you to the hospital,” she said.

“It’s nothing too serious, I’ll be fine after a little rest,” Xiao Luo replied.

It was true that this kind of injury wasn’t anything too serious, and with a little exercise and rest, he would fully recover in two to three days without lingering pain.

…

About half an hour after Xiao Luo and Ji Siying left, Hong Ji and Ouyang De finally regained consciousness. The children from the home were the ones who woke them up.

“Ah, my partner, why do I feel like my body is extremely hollow?”

Ouyang De asked, shaking his head. He slowly sat up and, for the moment, was unable to tell what had actually happened.

Hong Ji, still dizzy, slowly pulled himself up and sat on the floor. “Are your kidneys overdrawn? Hurry up and take your kidney pills, they’ll be good for you and your kidney!” he blabbered, still in a half-conscious state.

“Old ghost Hong, your bloody kidneys are the ones that are overdrawn. You better believe that I’m going to slap you to death right here and now,” Ouyang De snarled, suddenly noticing that Hong Ji was right beside him, and instantly coming to, with his eyes wide open.

“Come, try and slap my head here. You’re damn coward, there’s no way you have the guts to follow through,” Hong Ji retorted.

“You make the first move if you think you’re that good.”

“Old Poison, I’ll do it if you think I’m scared of you.”

“Try to strike me first, if you dare to. This old man here will chop you to death!” Ouyang De responded.

“Hit me first if you have the guts to. I’ll use the Palm of the Eighteen Dragons and crush you with it.”

“Palm of the Eighteen Dragons, my a*s! Let me show you this old man’s Toad Power. There’s no one that I can’t beat with it.”

“Bragging again! All you can do is brag. You’re nothing but a load of hot air,” Hong Ji sneered.

“Old ghost Hong!!!”

“Old Poison, why are you shouting like a grandpa?”

Their bickering grew louder and louder, both fuming with anger as they stared at one another with daggers in their eyes. Their faces came to within inches of each other, like a pair of raging bulls staring each other down.

“Damn it, when are you going to start hitting each other? If you can’t do it, then stop whining like little girls. I’m beginning to feel agitated just listening to you guys, and it makes me feel like beating someone up!”
