Samsara Online-Chapter 363 Submit or die (4-Last)
Seeing the usually meticulous Xiao Hu in such a pitiful mess as if he was about to go mad, Chi Yong Hong, his wife Tong Xiaoyun, as well as the rest of the hooligans inside the room, were shocked beyond words.
What kind of things did a usually calm person have to have seen to experience such a drastic change in a matter of a few minutes? It was what they were all thinking.
Since the " firefight trade" broke out, only a little more than ten minutes had passed. However, because the mansion grounds were too large, only the last two or three minutes was what Xiao Hu could have seen from this place. In short, in just two or three minutes, this cultured man was on the verge of going insane.
Chi Yong Hong was an experienced man who had been through a lot in his life to get to the position he was in now, so after a moment of surprise, he asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Hu, explain to me what you saw. Don't miss a single detail!"
"Y-Yes!" The pitiful man nodded hurriedly and began to narrate the events.
Xiao Hu first explained how the bullets could not hit the enemy, then explained how the brothers of the Green Bamboo gang fell to the ground without apparently any blood wounds on their bodies; when these people fell, they would never get up again. He also explained how the bullets fell to the ground making a terrifying metallic sound as they hit the pavement.
To top it off, Xiao Hu repeated: "It's not an army of people! They don't look like police either! The intruders this time are two people, a young man in his twenties and a beautiful woman of about the same age! The two of them are like the devil incarnate in person!"
"Shut up!" Chi Yong Hong roared furiously, causing his trusted man to finally stop his words.
However, it was already too late.
Chi Yong Hong inspected the face of each person present and saw that the expressions of each and every one of them was ashen and dark as if the cloak of the night had covered all light for them. But such a thing was also normal, after all, what they had just heard was practically a legendary myth of people with powers; however, considering Xiao Hu's position and his natural demeanor, none of them doubted his words.
So, weren't they facing two unknown monsters? Just imagining it caused their bodies to shudder fiercely. Even before the battle between them and the intruders began, morale was already practically sweeping the floor from how low it was.
Of course, these people did not know that in reality, the only person who was stopping the raining bullets was Xie Feng; Yao Mei had yet to do absolutely nothing but follow in Xie Feng's footsteps and chat with him. If these lamentable hooligans knew that both Xie Feng and Yao Mei, the two "demons" were simply fooling around with them, then they would probably have already fainted on the spot and the already low spirits would be completely destroyed.
This was precisely what Chi Yong Hong wanted to avoid by stopping Xiao Hu's words. Unfortunately, it was already too late; morale was practically at its lowest point.
Tap...Tap...Tap...Tap...
The sound of footsteps from the corridor broke the silent atmosphere. However, although the silence was terrifying, the sound of footsteps approaching closer and closer was ten thousand times more terrifying from the point of view of the members of the Green Bamboo Gang. Each of them could practically feel a guillotine hanging over their heads waiting to claim their lives.
In the midst of such a suffocating and depressing atmosphere, the mind of the gang's leader, Chi Yong Hong, began to run wild as countless thoughts, questions, and ideas flashed through his mind. In the end, relying on his trusted man, he managed to come up with only one plausible option.
"Everyone... Put down your weapons."
After saying those words, Chi Yong Hong's countenance changed and it was as if he had suddenly aged a dozen years all at once. For him, who had come to this place after countless sacrifices, this decision was extremely difficult. After all, putting down his weapons at this moment was no different from giving himself up to become a sacrificial lamb. However, against such enemies, he had no choice; therefore, he decided to risk everything on a single throw of the dice.
When the hooligans acting as bodyguards heard the leader's order, some of them visibly hesitated. Although their hands were sweating profusely and the weapons in their hands could not be held steady due to the trembling of their bodies, many of them were ready to face the risk. Still, in the midst of that hesitation, there was a bit of relief and they slowly put down their weapons... For if they obediently surrendered at least there was a chance of getting out of this place alive.
After all, no one was really willing to die unless there was no other option available.
At that precise moment, two people slowly entered the large and luxurious hall. The man was extremely handsome, able to charm women with a mere smile, and the woman was beautiful enough with her long red hair to charm men with a single glance.
The woman ignored everything completely, her expression was indifferent and cold as ice, and only when she looked at the young man beside her did her eyes soften slightly. Regarding the man, he casually inspected the decorations of the place, completely ignoring the weapons in the hands of the hooligans.
"Good taste!" The young man praised. "Although it's not as luxurious as my house in the virtual world, it's definitely a top-notch private villa."
Hearing his words and noticing no apparent animosity, the hooligans unconsciously let out a sigh of relief as they realized that there was still a chance of getting out of the place alive.
Of course, these people did not know that the only reason they were still breathing was because they did not attack in any way, or else they would all be on the ground out of breath. Chi Yong Hong's choice was truly wise, saving the lives of all these gang members.
Chi Yong Hong stepped forward and spoke in a tone of voice that was neither arrogant nor servile: "My name is Chi Yong Hong. May I ask the name of this gentleman and this lady?"
Xie Feng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him for a few seconds before nodding and praising honestly, "Not bad! To be able to keep calm even in this situation and even choose the best tone of voice to speak, truly a talented person... I am Xie Feng."
Yao Mei didn't even give the middle-aged man in front of her a glance. She was currently focused on inspecting the decorations of the place since she had suddenly become interested after hearing Xie Feng's praises.
Chi Yong Hong sighed inwardly relieved to see that the young man named Xie Feng was a person who could apparently be reasoned with. Although he felt a little uncomfortable about being ignored by the beauty next to the young man, he simply pushed that matter to the back of his head and did not attach too much importance to it. After all, although he was used to giving orders and making himself respected, he knew that at this moment he couldn't go wild.
"Please take a seat." Chi Yong Hong pointed to the plush white leather sofa in front of him and invited.
Xie Feng lightly pulled Yao Mei and sat down without much thought.
"It was you who gave the order to lower the guns?"
"That's right. It was me." Chi Yong Hong answered honestly.
Xie Feng nodded and a hint of praise flashed in his eyes, "You really are a talented person... It's not for nothing that you got to your current position after all." After saying those words, Xie Feng shook his head and sighed as he said, "But unfortunately, you failed to raise your son properly."
"My son?" Chi Yong Hong muttered. His mind was rushing wildly as he finally seemed to comprehend something.
Xie Feng ignored his thoughts and nodded as he slowly said, "Your son, Chi Yang. That brat started to study at Shanghai University just recently but he already provoked me. Today, he not only kicked the door of the place where I was having lunch, but also dared to look at my women with almost naked lust."
In his mind, Chi Yong Hong was cursing his son a million times for attracting this disaster to his family. At the same time, he could not help but look at his wife Tong Xiaoyun, who was sitting next to him. It was precisely his wife who was extremely affectionate and protective of Chi Yang, so that brat had acquired an arrogant and domineering personality, not putting anyone in his eyes in the least.
Tong Xiaoyun lowered her head slightly knowing that this time it was her fault. They had already had some problems in the past because of her son's personality, but she was not willing to punish him for minor matters. As a result, they were now in a life and death situation.
Seeing the small exchange between the couple, the corner of Xie Feng's mouth curved imperceptibly as if he understood something. However, he kept that casual and indifferent expression as he said, "Now, you have two choices. The first option is to surrender and the second option is to die... Submit and prosper, oppose me and perish!"
