Chapter 422 Feeding Sharks

Zoro stood there dumbfounded, completely stunned.

He stared blankly at Xu Nian, who resembled a god of war, and was completely stunned.

Is this even human?

Not only did he take on fifteen men single-handedly, but he also knocked them all down like whack-a-mole, leaving them unharmed, with only their clothes slightly soiled.

Xu Nian twisted her head, making a cracking sound in her neck, and turned her gaze to Zoro.

He bent down, picked up a crowbar that had fallen to the ground, and slowly walked towards Zoro.

"Zoro, there's an old Chinese saying: 'It is impolite not to reciprocate.'" He lowered his voice, which was full of anger.

"You've repeatedly resorted to underhanded tactics against us, and you've tried to take advantage of my lover. Tell me, what kind of grand gesture should I give you in return?"

The terrifying aura emanating from him was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping Zoro.

Zoro's legs were trembling uncontrollably, his back was already soaked in cold sweat, and he could barely stand.

Faced with this devil who devoured 15 of his men, the fear in his heart surged like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming him.

Zoro gritted his teeth, mustered all his strength, and drew a dagger from his waist. His arm trembled violently, and the tip of the blade pointed crookedly at Xu Nian. His voice was choked with sobs: "Don't...don't come any closer!"

The sharp blade reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight. Xu Nian stared at the dagger, her expression growing more serious.

As the saying goes, even the greatest martial arts master is afraid of a kitchen knife.

Although he was skilled in martial arts, he was still somewhat intimidated by the sharp weapon.

After all, swords and blades have no eyes; one careless move could result in injury.

He couldn't wait to rush up and teach this hypocrite a lesson, to make him pay for his actions.

But the gleaming tip of the knife made him stop in his tracks.

It's like encountering a vicious dog baring its teeth at you on the street. You could easily beat the dog to a pulp, but it's not worth getting bitten and having to go to the hospital for a rabies vaccine.

When Zoro saw Xu Nian stop and no longer approach, his tense nerves quietly relaxed.

He concluded that Xu Nian was intimidated by the dagger in his hand, and a sense of confidence gradually grew in his heart. He subconsciously took a slow step back.

只

As long as he can escape this place, with his wealth and connections, he can easily mobilize a group of mercenaries to work for him.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would capture Xu Nian alive, skin him alive, tear out his tendons, and torture him to death to vent his hatred.

A ruthless glint flashed in Zoro's eyes, and he quickened his pace as he retreated.

Just then, a gunshot shattered the silence of the alley.

"Bang!"

A scorching bullet pierced Zoro's hand that was holding the sword.

"ah--"

A piercing scream erupted from Zoro's mouth as blood gushed from his palm, warm blood trickling down between his fingers.

He could no longer hold the dagger, and it fell to the ground with a crisp clang.

A perfect opportunity! Xu Nian's eyes lit up, and with a sudden burst of power from his toes, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly rushing towards Zoro.

In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Zoro and kicked him in the chest.

Zoro was kicked more than ten meters away like a rag doll, crashing heavily to the ground. He struggled for a few moments but could no longer get up.

"Boss, sister-in-law, are we not late?" Long Teng's voice came from the alley entrance.

He approached quickly with a few henchmen, the pistols in his hands still emitting faint smoke.

"You've come at the right time." Xu Nian glanced at Zoro, who was lying unconscious on the ground. "Any later and this guy would have gotten away."

Long Teng gave a wink to his underlings behind him, who immediately understood and quickly bound Zoro tightly, making him as immobile as a crab.

Long Teng sidled up to Xu Nian, raised an eyebrow, and said with a hint of smugness, "How was it, boss? My marksmanship, pretty accurate, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's lips twitched, and a strange sense of resentment arose in her heart.

He practiced hard for more than a month, enduring countless hardships, and was exhausted every day like a husky. He was still somewhat hesitant when facing a dagger.

But with just one shot, Long Teng easily disarmed Zoro, rendering him completely incapable of fighting.

He glanced at Long Teng and said sarcastically, "I thought you were going to show off your kung fu?"

Long Teng laughed heartily, blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, and casually put the pistol back into its holster: "Who relies on kung fu these days? From seven paces away, the gun is fast; within seven paces, the gun is both accurate and fast."

Xu Nian was speechless for a moment, then rolled her eyes: "Then why did you teach me kung fu?"

Long Teng spread his hands, looking completely innocent: "Boss, you can't blame me for this. You were the one who insisted that I teach you kung fu, don't you remember?"

Xu Nian was speechless and felt ashamed.

He suddenly felt that all the suffering he had endured over the past month had been for nothing.

If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off learning to handle guns from Long Teng; it would have been much easier than practicing kung fu.

Between their banter, Xu Xi slowly walked to Zoro's side, squatted down, and stared at him coldly.

Zoro lay on the ground like a dead dog, trembling uncontrollably. The wound on his hand hurt so much that tears streamed down his face. The dignity of a noble young master was now completely gone, leaving him in a wretched state.

A yellow liquid flowed from his lower body, accompanied by a foul stench. Xu Xi subconsciously frowned, his eyes filled with disgust.

"Miss Xu... Miss Xu..." Zoro, his usual composure gone, stammered like a begging dog, his eyes filled with pleading, "Please... let me go, I'll never do it again..."

A ruthless glint flashed in Xu Xi's eyes. He didn't say anything, but slowly raised his foot and stomped hard on the gunshot wound on Zoro's hand with the heel of his high heel.

"ah--!"

Zoro let out a bloodcurdling scream, so shrill it sent chills down everyone's spine.

The younger brother leaned forward and whispered to Xu Xi, "Sister-in-law, what should we do with him?"

Xu Xi glanced coldly at Zoro, who was writhing in agony on the ground, and a dangerous smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Throw him into the Pacific Ocean and feed him to the sharks."

Upon hearing this, Zoro's vision went black, and unable to bear the fear in his heart any longer, he fainted.

"Tch. Pathetic, scared like this already."

Xu Xi glanced at him indifferently, her eyes full of mockery.

She said to Long Teng's underlings beside her, "Find a warehouse, lock up these rotten fish and shrimp, provide them with good food and drink, and make sure our guests are comfortable."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Upon receiving the order, the henchman immediately called over several other men, who swiftly loaded Zoro and his thugs onto a van and drove them away from the alley.

Xu Nian walked to Xu Xi's side and asked him, "What do you plan to do with them?"

Xu Xi raised her snow-white neck and smiled gently: "You defeated them, my great hero, you decide."

"Hey, stop teasing me." Xu Nian scratched his head and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He had brute strength, but he had no idea how to clean up the mess.

It's better to let Xu Xi handle the intricacies of business.

However, he felt inexplicably pleased with the title of "great hero," and even straightened his back a bit.

"You handle it, just make sure he doesn't cause us any more trouble."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi smiled faintly and nodded.

Then, she tugged at Xu Nian's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Let's go, my hero. I'll reward you properly when we get back."
