ointed at Summer with an indignant look."Hey, you ugly one, don't talk nonsense. You were the first to poison me," Summer said with some displeasure. Suddenly he frowned and said, "Eh Strange, why do...Chapter 1004 Intimidation Text

"Sorry big brother, I really am sorry. I didn't mean to sell you out, but I can't afford to provoke Iron Cane Seven. He came here looking for you and saw me with his wallet, so he assumed we were connected in some way and beat me up until I told him where you were. I had no choice but to tell him that you might have gone to the Heart Delight Hotel." The disabled youth looked at Xia Tian with a hint of fear in his eyes, "But even after that, Iron Cane Seven broke my leg and then I passed out. Afterward, I don't know where they went."

"Pathetic, what's there to be afraid of about a dead cripple" Xia Tian didn't bother arguing with such small fry, only looked down on him for a moment before asking curiously, "Hey, you just said your leg was broken recently Did it not break before then"

"Big brother, actually... I wasn't disabled before. I was faking it. Big brother probably doesn't know this, but many of us deliberately pretend to be disabled because otherwise no one would give us money." The young beggar answered somewhat awkwardly as he glanced at the nearby beggars and then lowered his voice, "Big brother, actually they're all like me, except for one who is truly disabled. The others are pretending."

"So you’re all frauds" Xia Tian looked down on them even more. He hated con artists the most.

"Big brother, we really aren't conning anyone. We're just trying to make a living. None of us want to do this." The young beggar said softly, "In order to work in this line, we have to pretend to be disabled. If not, there's only one outcome: we'll end up truly disabled like me."

Seemingly afraid Xia Tian wouldn't understand, the youth continued to explain: "

"Big brother, actually all of us beggars are under control by someone. This area is managed by Iron Cane Seven. Anyone who wants to make money here has to pay a daily fee every day, and the amount varies depending on the location. For example, we have to pay thirty yuan each day for this bridge. Iron Cane Seven orders us all to pretend to be disabled; if someone can't act convincingly enough, he'll use his iron cane to beat them into actual cripples...

However, Xia Tian was in no mood to listen to this guy's nonsense during the summer. He thought beggars were humiliating and scammers were disgusting; these people were both beggars and scammers, so he didn't want to continue chatting with them. Instead, he turned around and left, planning to go somewhere else for a walk.

After aimlessly wandering around for about ten minutes, Xia Tian found it rather meaningless. He believed that Ning Jie should have already found the person sent by Song Yumei after such a long time, so he decided not to continue loitering and turned towards Xin Yue Hotel.

Xia Tian still didn't walk quickly; it took him around ten minutes to slowly make his way back to Xin Yue Hotel. His room was on the third floor, and there was no elevator in this hotel, which meant he had to climb stairs.

As soon as he reached the third floor, Xia Tian noticed a group of people approaching down the hallway. The first person to see him immediately shouted: "That's the guy right there! Go get him!"

This man was precisely Iron Cane Seven, who had been beaten up by Xia Tian earlier in the day and also robbed of several hundred yuan. This time, he wasn't alone; six or seven young men followed behind him, some carrying tools. Hearing this command, these half a dozen people rushed towards Xia Tian aggressively.

Yet, Xia Tian calmly walked to his room's door, took out the card key to open it, and slowly stepped inside without closing the door afterward. Those individuals naturally rushed in immediately.

The first man carrying a steel pipe ran fastest; he reached Xia Tian first and swung the pipe straight at Xia Tian’s head. Clearly, this person didn't intend on simply giving Xia Tian a lesson; his actions were purely aimed at beating Xia Tian to death.

Summer, however, was not at all panicked. He didn't think these few minor characters were worth his concern. He took out the two silver needles from his body and held one in each hand. Then he walked with the ethereal step, seemingly casually but easily dodging this guy's attacks. At the same time, his hands moved swiftly, continuously stabbing the needles into this person’s body. A few seconds later, this guy collapsed silently.

Right after this guy fell down, another person appeared. This new person was bare-handed and at that moment punched heavily towards Summer.

Summer neither dodged nor evaded; he just held the silver needles and met his opponent’s fist head-on.

"Ugh!" This poor guy's fist was pierced by Summer right on target, emitting a sudden cry of pain. He then quickly withdrew his fist and kicked at Summer.

Summer still didn’t dodge, and the silver needles accurately pierced out again, this time hitting the attacker’s calf. Not only did it hit once but several times in succession; therefore, the guy screamed in agony a few more times and hurriedly pulled back his leg. Just as he hadn't yet stabilized himself, Summer unexpectedly kicked him in the abdomen, effortlessly sending him crashing to the ground.

Without question, even if Summer had no martial arts skill at all, his combat techniques were still extraordinary. Defeating a few ordinary street thugs was an easy matter for him. However, he chose to take action inside the room merely because he didn't want Song Yumei to know about how adept he had become in fighting.

"Damn it! This kid can actually fight!" Seeing two companions fall so quickly within a moment, another person couldn’t help but swear and rush over. Meanwhile, someone else quietly rushed over too. One of them held a dagger while the other carried a police baton; one must admit that their equipment was quite decent.

The single room was本來就small, with a bed inside, the space was quite limited. With so many people fighting together, the space was severely insufficient; when these two rushed in, it felt rather cramped. However, for Xia Tian, this small place turned out to be an advantage. No matter how big or small the area, as long as he could move around, his elusive steps could be smoothly executed.

The dagger viciously stabbed towards Xia Tian, while the baton was slightly slower. Xia Tian’s eyes swiftly moved and he muttered to himself, "Watch my 'four taels overturn a thousand catties'!"

As soon as he said this, someone let out a painful cry, and the guy with the dagger instantly froze, bewildered at how he had stabbed the wrong person.

"Damn it, why are you stabbing me" The man holding the baton clutched his abdomen in pain, while his baton dropped to the ground.

The fellow didn't answer as Xia Tian picked up the baton from the floor and tapped him on the head, causing him to instantly fall unconscious.

"You too, pass out," Xia Tian casually hit another guy beside him. This man had just been stabbed and now got a tap on his head; he miserably lay on the ground in a coma as well.

"Kid, do you know what happens when you offend Iron Cane Seven…" A voice came from the door, belonging to Iron Cane Seven himself. He only arrived at the doorway then and had initially assumed Xia Tian would have already been beaten up by his men, hence his remark. However, he couldn't continue as he noticed four of his six men on the ground, while the remaining two seemed hesitant to step forward.

"Dead cripple, did you come to bring money again" Xia Tian lazily asked at this moment. He felt that robbing people was a decent idea until he found another way to make money.

"Kid, don't..." Iron Cane Seven hesitated for a moment and then became angry, but before he could finish his sentence, the whole person suddenly flew up into the air and screamed painfully as he crashed heavily onto the ground.

A slender figure gracefully entered, with snow-white hands quickly striking out. The two people who were still standing hadn't even had time to react before they groaned and fell to the ground.

This person who suddenly appeared was Ning Jie. After swiftly defeating these two, she anxiously asked: "Husband, are you okay"

"Of course I'm fine," Xia Tian was a bit unhappy, "I wanted to beat up these guys myself anyway; now that you've beaten them for me, forget it. I'll deal with this dead cripple!"

Xia Tian walked in front of Iron Cane Seven and kicked him fiercely several times.

"Husband, let's not bother with them right now, we have important matters to attend to," Ning Jie quickly came over to Xia Tian’s side, whispering softly in his ear: "I’ve already subdued Song Xiong; husband, you should go into hypnosis and ask him if he has any other accomplices. If there aren't any, then we don’t need to worry about the Song Yumei side for now."

"Song Xiong" Xia Tian was slightly taken aback, "Where is that guy"

"In another room. He also booked a room here. I just followed him in, and he didn't expect me to show up. I got the upper hand right away. Shall we go to his room now" Ning Jie whispered into Xia Tian's ear.

"Alright then." Xia Tian squatted down and searched Iron Cane Seven’s body. He found a wallet this time, which contained quite a bit of money—about 3000 yuan. Then he checked the other six men, finding nearly 2000 yuan among them.

After securing the money, Xia Tian said to Iron Cane Seven, "Hey, dead crutch, I'm going out for a stroll now. If you're still here when I get back, I'll make sure that you become a truly dead crutch! Got it"

Iron Cane Seven didn't respond. At this moment, Ning Jie moved swiftly to Iron Cane Seven's side and picked up his iron cane with her hand. She exerted a little force and bent the iron cane into a V-shape.

"You… you…" Seeing this, Iron Cane Seven finally paled. Others might not know about it, but he knew exactly what his iron cane was made of. Only something beyond human could bend his iron cane like that!

"We don't want trouble, but we're also not afraid of it. Let me make this clear: You can’t afford to provoke us! If you dare to cause more trouble for us, I guarantee that every bone in your body will break just like this iron cane!" Ning Jie coldly stated. She knew how to properly use such intimidation tactics.n Qing realize that when it came to influence in Jianghai City, the little man beside her indeed had few rivals.Before, she merely wanted to see Shi Changgeng once and had run countless times to the d...
