Chapter 491 - Foolish Lady (1/2)
“Is there an umbrella in the car?” Xiao Luo turned his head to ask Shen Qingyan, seated in the backseat. It was common practice for car owners to leave an umbrella in the car in case of unexpected bad weather.
“Yeah, in the glove compartment,” Shen Qingyan replied. She glanced towards the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat.
Xiao Luo immediately opened the glove box. There was an umbrella there—but its edges were lined with lace, and it was pink lace, at that. He furrowed his eyebrows. “Err, never mind…”
Xiao Luo got out of the car shortly after he spoke.
The rain poured down relentlessly, and he was immediately soaked from head to toe the moment he stepped out. At the same time, four young men descended from the black Audi sedan that had been tailing them. There looked like hooligans, grimacing with unfriendly scowls on their faces.
“D*mn you, b*stard! Are you looking to die?”
“F*ck him, let’s beat the hell out of that guy!”
The four young men drew strength from their numbers and charged towards Xiao Luo.
One of them, the one who yelled at Xiao Luo, was swaggering as he led his men from the front. Xiao Luo preempted his attack, and without any warning, sent him flying a few meters back with just one kick. The young man clutched his stomach as he threw up everything he ate for dinner, groaning as he lay on the road in unimaginable pain.
The other three men were shocked, and they held back for a beat. Suddenly, they rushed at Xiao Luo with fierce roars.
Xiao Luo huffed lightly. He landed a clean and accurate right hook on the face of a silver-haired young man. It sent flying the young man with a pathetic scream and left him with a row of bloody front teeth. The young man reeled back and crashed heavily on the wet ground. He landed into a large puddle of rainwater with a splash, kicking up sprays of water a meter high.
There were now two of them left, and they were so terrified that they froze, suddenly unsure of themselves. When Xiao Luo turned and glared at them, they nervously pulled out their switchblades and exchanged glances before they charged wildly toward Xiao Luo at the same time.
Xiao Luo laughed with a sneer and stepped forward to meet them head-on. He weaved between the two of them and spread out both arms like two metal rods and struck at their chests. There were but two dull thuds before the two young men spat out thick blood, and they found themselves sailing back in the air as if struck by a speeding sports car.
It had barely been a minute, and the four young men had already been dispatched and lying sprawled on the ground!
Su Li and Shen Qingyan were shocked as they took in the scene. This was too brutal, too barbaric. Had it not been for the fact that they had seen all of this with their own eyes, it would be too difficult for them to imagine that someone like Xiao Luo, who did not seem imposing or menacing in the least, had such terrifying moves up his sleeves.
Xiao Luo raked his gaze over the four people who were writhing on the ground and crying pathetically. There was not a trace of emotion on his face. Then, he walked over to the front section of the black sedan.
Crack!
It was like his left arm was a machine. He effortlessly smashed the front window and then snatched the car key from the ignition.
In debonair fashion, Xiao Luo turned around and strode over to the Jaguar. As he did so, he tossed the car key off the bridge. A river of raging waters ran beneath the bridge, and but not a single one of the four men dared make a sound. They were lying on the road and groaning miserably. It was clear that they had messed up here today.
When Xiao Luo got back in the driver’s seat, he brushed his wet hair with a hand. He looked at Su Li indifferently through the rearview mirror and said, “You say that I’m barbaric and violent. Well, I guess you’re right. That’s exactly the kind of person I am. If I were to consider this some illness, then I think I’m already at death’s door, and there’s no hope left for me!”
There was a deeper meaning behind his words, and his message was—think as you wish! Xiao Luo had no plans of changing; that was for sure.
After he said that, he stepped on the gas without waiting for Su Li to respond, speeding through the bridge and getting them to the other side of the river.
Su Li bit into her scarlet lips. In a scarcely audible voice, she hissed, “Barbarian…”
Although Shen Qingyan thought that Xiao Luo was excessively barbaric and violent, she was, on the other hand, much comforted by his ability to protect them. “You’ve gone too far this time, Xiao Luo. On top of beating them to a pulp, you also threw their car keys into the river. I think they’ll remember this encounter for as long as they live,” she said.
“Some people need to be taught a lesson before they see reason,” Xiao Luo replied.
“Why does it feel like you’re hinting at something?” Shen Qingyan quipped, glancing at Su Li, who was sitting beside her.
Su Li glared at Shen Qingyan. “What are you looking at? Leave me out of your conversation.”
