Chapter 86 - Relax, Im here. Whats the worst that could Happen? (1/2)
Yun Sheng was very impressed at the same time, as even a branch chief of the Special Task Force like him, had to deal with things carefully. He was unable to afford to act as he fancied like Lu Xuan.
He recognized that the world was indeed one where might made right.
Yang Chengsi’s frightening level of cultivation and the potential menace he would have brought about as the head of the Coalition of the Woods meant that even the provincial boss of the Special Task Force had to be wary of him.
However, none of that mattered to Lu Xuan. He slapped the man like he would an ant.
A boss of the coalition was nothing but a joke before someone truly powerful.
Yun Sheng was unable to help but recall the big boss of the headquarters. That single man who had been able to overwhelm all of his enemies served as a stabilizer of sorts, keeping all who would have caused a great commotion throughout the nation.
The man was the very reason the Special Task Force became what it was at this moment—a status forged through many brutal battles.
Yun Sheng knew all too well about the futility of reasoning with cultivators. Only fists harder than theirs would have made those people listen.
He was feeling rather thankful for Lu Xuan deep down. Although it seemed that he was not giving the organizer any face at all, Yun Sheng nonetheless knew that Lu Xuan had been sparing the gangster boss due to him being around.
Yang Chengsi would have probably been snuffed out on the spot otherwise.
From what he was able to recall, Lu Xuan had already crippled a Martial Arts Legend and then killed two more people of the same level.
Yang Chengsi’s combat prowess and status, which the man had taken so much pride in, were utterly meaningless before Lu Xuan.
The likes of Master Ying and Yin Tianming had been above Yang Chengsi in terms of social station, yet Lu Xuan killed them all the same, just because he wanted to.
If Yang Chengsi were to keep throwing his weight about and wanting to retaliate, he would be digging his own grave.
None of that mattered to Yun Sheng, at the moment. He enlisted Yang Chengsi only because he found the gangster boss being of use at the moment. He would have liked it a lot better if Yang Chengsi looked for trouble with Lu Xuan in the future, as Lu Xuan would have had ample reason to get rid of the gangster.
A figure akin to an emperor of the underworld was like a Sword of Damocles to Yun Sheng. While Yang Chengsi behaved himself well enough for the moment, Yun Sheng still never trusted underworld members like him.
The nation was still able to keep the peace for the time being, but once those cultivators had gotten a lot stronger in the future and no longer feared even heavy firepower, no one would be able to predict what those people would have done.
It was entirely possible for them to reign supreme over a territory and do as they wished within their turf.
As such, the country would have been safer with every potential threat like that removed.
The pupils of Monk Buyi, the head of the Dharma Hall standing at the side, contracted somewhat when he saw how easily Lu Xuan had sent Yang Chengsi flying back twice in a row. The monk was a Martial Arts Legend himself, and while he was certain that his combat prowess was above Yang Chengsi, he still would not have been able to throw Yang Chengsi around like a piece of garbage.
“The depths of the man’s prowess is truly immeasurable.” The mind of Monk Buyi seemed to have been thrown into a hurricane at the moment, yet he maintained a composed facade.
Every single big shot present was able to confirm that from that moment on, yet another big shot came to the scene in the province. Said big shot was bigger than all the big shots in the place combined.
A thought had even popped up in their minds for a brief moment.
A thought that Lu Xuan was the number one in all of Southern Min.
Lu Xuan would not have been far off, even if he was not actually number one.
That was because none of them were actually clear about just how strong Lu Xuan actually was. As such, that thought lasted for little more than a split second, and none of them dared to verify such ideas.
“Everyone!” Yun Sheng stepped out and said, “All participants of this operation are now present. Since this is an operation, there will naturally be leaders. I recommend that Mr. Lu be the one in charge of the operation. Any opinions?”
The crowd became dead silent at that very moment. Some might have objected to the idea before the slaps happened, but none dared to do so after all of that happened.
