Li Jing happily joined him on the table, carrying two mocktails in her hands, and excitedly told him about her 'investigation' results.
They were fighting over the favor of one of their sisters. One side was accusing the other side of doping her drink while the other side was claiming to be false.
The sister threw the bottle Li Jing caught. She wanted to hit the good guy under the green tea skills + Luck combo.
The argument was at its peak so Li Tao entered the scene, "Who threw this bottle!!" he shouted while walking toward the group.
They stopped fighting and looked towards the unwelcome member of the confrontation.
The arrogant sister stepped forward and cussed, "Who in the fkuc are you to entangle me? Are you one of the dogs under that guy surnamed Qian?"
Li Tao has heard of this Qian guy more than once. Once, it was his men chasing Ning Xueli when she was saved by Ye Feng, and others are now. It looks like he was an out-and-out playboy who takes pleasure in conquering beauty. No wonder he died before him in the original story.
"It smells like a tea house in here? When did you start selling green tea in the club Mr. Law." he sneered sarcastically.
Mr. Law was about to shout back and throw them all out of the club but when he saw A'Qian already standing behind Li Tao words got stuck in his throat. He started sweating profusely as he remembered the message from the work group he received 5 minutes ago.
Two young men came into the 'Riches' area with bodyguards, do not provoke them at any cost, or the whole club might close down.
He wiped his sweat as he stepped forward and bowed, "What can I do for you Young Master?"
Li Tao suddenly discovered a serious problem.
The villains of this world were becoming too competent.
Every time he prepared a face-slapping scene, somebody else resolved it before he could start.
This profession was becoming increasingly difficult.
He could only play hard, "Someone here tried to kill me, and now that I am asking for an explanation they are calling me a dog."
"How am I supposed to enjoy my evening in the presence of such trash." Towards the end, his voice was amplified using immortal energy which made the whole place quiet down.
Manager Law was now sweating bullets while thinking of explaining the damage this club was about to suffer because of these people fighting in there.
A'Qian, A'Fu, and Li Jing did not forget their roles and started releasing their spiritual pressure (aura). The hall became so quiet that even people swallowing their fear could be heard.
The Luo Family[1] finally realized that they had hit the iron board this time. Even the b!tchy young miss Luo Meng was now swearing at her brothers for creating a scene in her mind.
Thanks to the Villain Domain that Li Tao carries the IQ of all the people present was raised to normal levels.
This effect made her realize that she might be blaming the wrong person this whole time but her deep-seated hatred and prejudice made her unable to believe this thought.
Luo Tianchen is the protagonist of today's plot. The one that helped Ye Feng become a financial crocodile, was staring at Li Tao and others in shock. It was the first time in his life that he had met with actual martial artists.
The ones he had friendships with were mostly body-training realm people who liked to show off. This was the real deal. He salivated thinking about currying favor with these people and securing his position as successor of the Luo Family.
Li Jing noticed Luo Tianchen staring in her direction.
Her eyes immediately narrowed.
'As expected.'
'My charm is truly troublesome.'
'Even men are unable to resist my handsome appearance.'
Before anyone could react, she stepped forward and slapped him.
She stepped forward and slapped Luo Tianchen in the face.
Thanks to Li Jing showing mercy, Luo Tianchen's face remained attached to his head.
Unfortunately his sense of direction did not.
He spun twice on the spot like a confused top before collapsing onto a nearby table.
Luo Meng almost fainted when she saw this happening but the sister in her gave her strength to hold Luo Tianchen down while checking on his injuries.
The other brother named Luo Bingchen was watching all this with cold indifferent eyes. Watching his dear sister hugging the illegitimate child like her lover and that trash was probably enjoying this while acting like he fainted.
He has seen these acts numerous times since he returned to this family.
Li Tao felt that it was the Villain's turn to take matters into his own hands, so he crouched down, grabbed Luo Meng's hair, and pulled her up.
His face was cold as fcuk, "What were you saying about me being a dog." then he smacked her in the face while ensuring there was only pain and no marks. Three slaps in and her face was swollen red like an apple.
Luo Bingchen was gripping his fist while controlling his anger and watching all this like he was a stranger who wanted to help but was scared of repercussions.
Li Tao originally wanted to pack all three in a single ordeal but it seems like this Luo Bingchen was not as simple as he looks. His eyes were telling a different story than what Li Tao had expected.
He decided to corner him and asked directly, "Isn't the hidden hero going to save the damsel this time? I heard of your unsung heroic deeds that brought you endless beating and curses in that house." he mocked.
Luo Bingchen's face became living like he was holding something inside him, or something unnatural entered his body.
"Trash!!! Speak up or I will humiliate this b!tch right here and now!!" Li Tao shouted at the top of his lungs. Even Li Jing was a little scared of this cousin of hers.
Luo Bingchen slowly loosened his clenched fists.
The struggle in his eyes disappeared.
Only indifference remained.
"Do whatever you want."
"As long as she doesn't die."
His voice was calm.
Too calm.
It was as if the person being humiliated had nothing to do with him.
The change was so abrupt that even Li Tao frowned.
Luo Meng was stunned into another dimension after hearing this, 'Where is my loyal dog who used to wag his tail even if I beat him, scolded him, resent him?'
Slightly disappointed with his response, she cursed him to death and turned toward her reliable brother Luo Tianchen was now being spun like a fidget toy, he was leaking saliva and tears all over the floor. Unable to come out of the vertigo.
Seeing that things were not going anywhere, Li Tao decided to depend on the all-mighty system prop he received. He reached out for the inner pocket of his blazer took out his phone and called a number.
Then he instructed A' Wang loudly, "I want the Luo Family to go bankrupt right now, I will transfer 500 million to your account right away and the balance will be rewarded on completion."
"I want to see these dogs beg on the streets next morning or you will!!" he said with killing intent in his voice.
He sent the black material he had received in the prop to him.
Now everyone was sweating like they were in a sauna. Fearing they might be the next Luo Family. Some left white trembling legs fearing they might hear or see something they must not.
Li Tao sighed, sometimes overwhelming strength is boring, in the last life he was walking at the edge of life all the time and he was not happy with this boring outcome.
Li Tao sighed.
He had originally expected at least one hot-blooded young master to jump out and shout:
'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!'
Unfortunately reality proved disappointing.
The moment absolute strength appeared, everyone became remarkably civilized.
Even the protagonist of the plot Luo Tianchen was acting all scared. Maybe he should not have brought A'Qian and A'Fu with him in the first place.
