"You!?"
Manager Wang looked dazed. He touched the fresh blood flowing from under his nose, and his eyes instantly turned incredibly cold as he shouted harshly, "Beat him out of here!"
The two Star Martial Artists beside him exchanged a glance and surrounded him together.
Both of them were Level 18 Star Martial Artists, so naturally, they had no fear of Zhao Guangming, who was only Level 15.
"Old Zhao, you brought this upon yourself!"
With cold expressions, star energy circulated within their bodies as they each threw a punch. A faint sound of the air being torn apart echoed.
It was impressively the Star Skill, Dash Punch!
Although it was just a common Star Skill, their vitality levels were high enough that a single punch could easily injure their opponent!
"And to think I used to consider you two as friends..."
Zhao Guangming looked angry. At the same time, the star energy in his body erupted, releasing a defensive Star Skill.
Although there seemed to be no visible phenomenon, a radiance flowed beneath his skin, filled with a mysterious charm!
Boom!
The two men's Dash Punches landed at the same time, but Zhao Guangming remained completely motionless, without even the slightest injury.
"You?!"
The two looked astonished, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They knew that Zhao Guangming possessed a unique defensive Star Skill, which was the reason why his sparring sessions satisfied many bosses.
But they never expected that he could easily withstand their attacks relying on this Star Skill!
"Wang, if you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave even if I die!"
Zhao Guangming's eyes were full of anger as he stood his ground, unmoving.
"Do you really think you can run wild in the Star Martial Arts Dojo with just a trashy Star Skill?"
Manager Wang's face darkened, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes as he slowly said,
"Since you won't leave even if you die, then go to hell!"
In an instant,
he pulled out a C-grade handgun from his waist and directly raised the pitch-black muzzle!
"I want to see if your turtle shell is harder, or my bullets!"
Bang!
In a split second, the bullet flew out, heading straight for Zhao Guangming's arm!
He didn't actually intend to kill him in public, as that would negatively affect the Excellence Star Martial Arts Dojo. However, he didn't plan to let him off easily either; he just wanted to cripple the arm that threw the punch!
Zhao Guangming's pupils contracted, but he knew it was impossible to dodge with his speed. He could only grit his teeth and unleash his Star Skill with all his might, hoping to mitigate some of the bullet's damage!
But at this critical moment,
a thick and sturdy hand appeared, effortlessly catching the bullet!
Such a terrifying scene instantly stunned everyone present.
"You?!"
Wang Ren's pupils shrank as he stared blankly at the three-meter-tall giant in front of him.
The giant didn't speak. Instead, he simply squeezed his fist slightly, and a pile of debris slipped from between his fingers.
"Bullet fragments?!"
Wang Ren's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat rolled down his face.
He had never seen such a monstrous person before. Not only could this man catch a bullet bare-handed, but he could also crush it into powder. This strength was simply too terrifying...
"Who are you?"
Zhao Guangming also looked horrified as he gazed at the giant before him, while a trace of doubt rose in his heart.
He was certain he had never seen this person before, and he didn't know why the man would step in to help him...
"Brother Zhao."
Right at this moment,
a familiar voice sounded from behind him.
Hearing this, Zhao Guangming turned around and saw three people walking into the dojo from outside.
He looked at the young man in the middle, feeling a vague sense of familiarity. Then, as if recalling something, his expression instantly shifted in shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"You are... Young Master Lu?!"
He instantly remembered what had happened that day at the Elixir of Immortality store. To him, that day was truly unforgettable.
After all, it was his first time meeting someone of such high status...
Lu Xiaobai smiled and was about to respond,
when Wang Ren put on a flattering expression and spoke up:
"Miss Lin, what brings you here today?"
Clearly, he recognized the Lin Xue'er siblings in front of him. They were VIPs of the Excellence Star Martial Arts Dojo and the children of the Deputy Mayor, so naturally, he didn't dare to neglect them.
Lin Xue'er and her brother had disdain in their eyes. They were obviously aware of what had just happened, but they didn't say much, instead turning their gazes uniformly toward Lu Xiaobai.
As someone who had managed to become the dojo manager, Wang Ren was naturally shrewd. He immediately realized that the young man in the middle was the one with the highest status.
The Deputy Mayor's children were standing behind him, and coupled with Zhao Guangming calling him 'Young Master Lu' just now, Wang Ren's body suddenly trembled as he faintly guessed something.
Could it be the direct heir of the Lu family?!
At this moment, Wang Ren's face was pale, cold sweat was pouring down, and fear welled up in his heart.
He would never have imagined even in his wildest dreams that Zhao Guangming, an ordinary little sparring partner, could be connected to such a big shot...
If he had known about this relationship earlier, he wouldn't have dared to withhold his wages even if he were given a hundred times the courage!
Lu Xiaobai shot him a cold glance, then said flatly:
"Brother Zhao, how do you want to deal with him?"
The moment these words were spoken, Wang Ren's body trembled instantly, and he looked at Zhao Guangming with pleading eyes.
Given the other party's status, a single sentence would be enough to make it impossible for him to stay in the entire human star domain...
Zhao Guangming looked at him with angry eyes. Instinctively, he wanted to make him pay a heavy price, but remembering that his relationship with Lu Xiaobai wasn't that deep, he could only take a deep breath and slowly say:
"Young Master Lu, I just want back the wages that belong to me!"
"Did you hear that?"
Lu Xiaobai's gaze shifted to Wang Ren. Although his tone was calm, it carried an invisible sense of oppression.
"I understand, I understand!"
Wang Ren nodded repeatedly and immediately opened the smart chip in his hand. After a short while, he said:
"Brother Zhao, I've already transferred the money."
Zhao Guangming opened his account, confirmed it, and then nodded, a smile appearing in his eyes.
At this time, Wang Ren said with a humble face:
"Brother Zhao, I was confused earlier. Please be the bigger person and forgive my transgressions."
Zhao Guangming, however, kept a calm face and gave no response.
Seeing this, Wang Ren didn't give up and spoke again:
"Brother Zhao, on behalf of the Excellence Star Martial Arts Dojo, I formally invite you to serve as a senior sparring partner. The salary will be five times what it was before, and there will be various benefits. Not a single one will be missing!"
Right now, he desperately wanted to keep Zhao Guangming, not because of his professional abilities, but because he wanted to use him to build a relationship with Lu Xiaobai.
If they could truly get the Lu family's protection, the Excellence Star Martial Arts Dojo would completely transform, perhaps even becoming the number one dojo on the Ancestral Planet...
However, Zhao Guangming was completely unmoved and mocked:
"Give it a rest, you're still trying to fool me?!"
He wasn't an idiot; naturally, he wouldn't believe Wang Ren's nonsense anymore.
Besides, he knew that what the other party truly valued was his connection with Lu Xiaobai.
And the moment that bastard finds out my connection to the Lu family isn't actually that deep, he will definitely turn on me on the spot, and this exact same scenario will just repeat itself...
