Chapter 42 - 34: One Against Two

Chapter 42: Chapter 34: One Against TwoHowever, Chen Shiwei maintained his composure, never showing a hint of emotion, even though he was ruthlessly beaten by Lin Mu just now. He merely gritted his teeth and bore it through. It was clear that his cunning ran deep and was unfathomable. "No need, Young Master Han, thank you for your concern!" Sophie flatly refused, then reverted to her usual cold and composed demeanor. "Feifei, no need to be so formal with me!" Han Si Hai forced a laugh, but throughout, he did not release Lin Mu’s hand, and of course, Lin Mu did not release his. The two of them stood there confronting each other, competing in inner strength. The Han Family always valued martial arts, and Han Si Hai himself had extremely high combat power, being one of the best in the Han Family! Furthermore, Lin Mu was a freakishly strong person of a sailor rank. Both sides were merely testing each other’s strengths without any intent to harm, only probing each other. "The Su Family, though rich and influential, indeed has a major weakness in lacking good bodyguards. What if someday you encounter a more powerful assassin, and something goes wrong? It would be a pity to lose such unparalleled beauty. Wouldn’t it make people sigh with regret?" Damn it, this clearly shows he doesn’t regard me at all. Lin Mu was slightly angry but maintained a cold smile, while a slightly wicked grin appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Young Master Han, I, Lin Mu, am Feifei’s personal bodyguard, and also her future husband!" Upon hearing the word "future husband," Han Si Hai’s face turned abruptly, proving he didn’t possess the composure and thick skin of Chen Shiwei! "Young Master Han! Since you think my bodyguard skills are insufficient, then I must ask you to teach me some of Young Master Han’s exquisite moves!" Immediately, Lin Mu exerted his strength, channeling eighty percent of his inner power into his palm. Han Si Hai instantly felt a surge from Lin Mu’s palm, crashing down irresistibly, destroying all his defenses in that instant. And Lin Mu still had an air of ease, watching Han Si Hai’s face gradually turn a pig-belly color, coldly laughing, "So, how about it? Does the Su Family’s bodyguard still seem like a major flaw?" Han Si Hai immediately became very unsettled, his hand burning with pain, making it impossible for him to remain calm, "Han Gan!" As soon as the words left his mouth, a thin, stubbled, almost scrawny-looking man dashed into the hall and in the blink of an eye appeared in front of Lin Mu. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Quick and solid in his movements, although skinny, he exuded a murderous aura, the kind of fierce vibe only found in those robbing and killing criminals! In fact, Han Gan was the strongest master of the Han Clan in Dongguan South City, and even across the entire Pearl River Delta, there were few with techniques to surpass Han Gan. "Master Si!" Han Gan respectfully stood behind Han Si Hai, seeing that his master could no longer hold on, immediately stretched out his right hand towards Lin Mu, "This little brother has excellent bone structure, seems like a martial arts prodigy, come, let’s get to know each other!" Damn, are there three people shaking hands at the same time? Note that at this time, Lin Mu and Han Si Hai’s hands have not separated yet! Lin Mu cleverly picked up a wine glass, "It’s an honor, come, let’s have a drink!" Han Gan stared blankly at Lin Mu, had to pick up another wine glass from the table, "Drink!" Bang! A crisp sound, this was not just drinking, it was a contest using wine glasses as weapons! Both sides concentrated their true qi on the wine glass, the glasses collided, and suddenly, one shattered! Of course, it was Han Gan’s wine glass; Lin Mu’s cup was still intact. However, since he was competing in inner strength with Han Gan, the force in his other hand diminished significantly, making Han Si Hai feel a moment of relief, but he still couldn’t break free from Lin Mu’s iron grip. Han Gan, slightly embarrassed, opened his mouth showing unsightly yellow teeth and apologized to Huo Baolian, "I’m really sorry, Miss Bao, Han Gan already broke a wine glass, please accept my apologies!" Huo Baolian giggled and somewhat underminingly said, "A mere wine glass is nothing compared to Master Gan’s usual demeanor. As long as you don’t burn down my Golden Venerable, the Huo Family owes you an incense stick already!" "Oh my, not at all," Han Gan was rendered speechless and disgraceful by Huo Baolian’s sharp tongue, "On Elder Huo’s turf, even if I, Han Gan, had the courage of a bear or a leopard, I could only look up in awe!" "While that may be the case, don’t forget, you’re the one most willing to take risks for Master Han Si—if Master Han Si were to smash our place, wouldn’t you be the first to act?" "Uh, this..." Han Gan stammered, But Han Si Hai was quicker on his feet; despite being restrained by Lin Mu, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Who the hell would dare smash this Yama Hall!" Glancing at Lin Mu, he added, "I’m saying it here today: in the future, if anyone tries to create trouble at the Golden Venerable, I’m the first who won’t let them go!" That statement was clearly directed at Lin Mu. Originally, Lin Mu had planned to be lenient, but after hearing that, he tightened his right hand even more, "You want to act tough? Then let me show you some colors! Sophie watched coldly from the side, not stopping them. She also wished to see if Lin Mu could truly contend with the most high-ranking martial force of the Han Family, to gain precise assurance of future victories over the domineering Han Family power in Wancheng. "Come, let’s shake hands and be good brothers!" Han Gan forcefully leaned in, tightly grasping Lin Mu’s hand. Lin Mu, who had the confidence to face the two high-ranking masters of the Han Clan alone, took this opportunity to establish his reputation and demonstrate that he, Lin Mu, was the best choice for Miss Su to choose as a future partner in everyone’s eyes across Wancheng! "Hey!" Han Gan seemed to exert a great deal of effort, veins popping on his hand, trying to subdue Lin Mu in one go. However, no matter how much strength he used, Lin Mu’s hand was as steady and strong as steel, and Lin Mu facing the two Han Clan masters remained calm as a cucumber, with a mischievous smile on his face, "Is being good brothers really about three people holding hands like this?" Phew, phew... The two Han Clan masters began to sweat, like two clouds of vapor floating above their heads, sweat beads spreading across their foreheads. Han Si Hai and Han Gan knew that if this kept up, within minutes they would be utterly exhausted, losing their dignity. Finally, Han Gan took action. He knew his master was a person who valued face greatly, but he himself was just a weapon of his master; in harsh terms, he was his master’s dog—whoever the master wants to bite, that’s who he bites! Han Gan was an orphan, with no family name, raised by the Han Family since childhood; they groomed him into a sharp assassin to grow up by Han Si Hai’s side, to be utilized by them. Now, it was Han Gan’s time to repay the Han Family. He suddenly gathered all his strength and ominously shouted, "Since we’re good brothers, let’s hug it out!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Han Gan charged, arms open, using all his strength to slam into Lin Mu. He had no choice; even at the risk of perishing together, he had to sacrifice himself to protect his master! With both hands tied by the two high-ranking Han Clan masters, even though he had a slight advantage, Lin Mu couldn’t free his hands. In desperation, he secretly channeled his inner strength to face the charge.
