School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Okay." Liu Si looked up at Xiao Han, a trace of an inscrutable smile appearing on his face. He waved to Xiao Han and said, "Xiao Han, come, sit!"

Xiao Han walked over directly and then sat down opposite Liu Si.

"This is our first meeting, isn't it?" Liu Si looked at Xiao Han with a smile.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded.

"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that you're actually a nineteen-year-old kid?" Liu Si couldn't help but size up Xiao Han and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd have a hard time believing it. A nineteen-year-old kid, to actually have the audacity to chop off Chen Ming's arm. Just for that courage alone, I should make friends with you!"

"I did nothing wrong with Chen Ming's matter." Xiao Han said seriously.

"I never said you did!" Liu Si shook his head, "On the contrary, I think you did the right thing!"

"Uh..." Xiao Han was taken aback.

He had prepared a whole series of things to say in his mind, but he had not expected Liu Si to say such a thing, which made him swallow everything he had been preparing to say on the way there. Xiao Han looked at Liu Si, at a loss for what to do.

"If it were me, I would have done the same," Liu Si said with a smile, then added, "Chen Ming bullied your mother, so you chopped off one of his arms. There's nothing wrong with that. The mistake is that he's my man, and you are not!"

"So what do you want to do?" Xiao Han asked.

"Haha..." Liu Si suddenly threw his head back and laughed.

The laughter was somewhat chilling, and Xiao Han also seemed unsure of what to do. It was his first time dealing with people from the underworld, and Xiao Han had no experience. But inside, he had his own principles and bottom lines. If Liu Si intended to break his principles, to trample over his bottom lines, he would never allow it.

Liu Si smiled and then said, "You are the first person who has ever sat across from me and questioned me."

"I don't know what I said wrong." Xiao Han shrugged helplessly.

"No, no, you're not wrong." Liu Si suddenly stopped laughing and said with a serious face, "You should know, brothers in the underworld care about face. I don't care what Chen Ming did to you, but you chopped off Chen Ming's arm, and that's like slapping my face. Understand? Now, the brothers on the street are watching me.

If I don't do anything, they'll think Liu Si, after being quiet for so many years, has become a sick cat. You see?"

"So, are you going to take revenge for Chen Ming?" Xiao Han asked, "If I join you, then this matter would be considered an internal issue, and it could be let go."

"You can say that," Liu Si suddenly leaned back and said, "It's effortless talking to a smart person."

"I'm sorry." Xiao Han slowly stood up, then said, "I have no interest in joining you."

Liu Si immediately sat up straight, staring intently at Xiao Han.

The two men locked eyes. A great pressure from Liu Si swept toward Xiao Han. To an ordinary person, this would be a palpably cold aura. However, Xiao Han showed not the slightest reaction. He just calmly stared back at Liu Si, his eyes clear and profound.

After a long while, Liu Si spoke, "Good, you've got guts!"

"If Fourth Master has nothing else, I'll be leaving first." After saying that, Xiao Han stood up from the sofa.

Clatter...

Suddenly, four sturdy men walked in from outside, each wearing a pair of black sunglasses on their noses. Their faces were covered with flesh, looking stern; arms crossed over their chests; dressed in black outfits; and wearing black leather boots that were military issue.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Without my permission, nobody can leave my territory!" Liu Si said leisurely, leaning back on the sofa.

"Fourth Master, what are you trying to do?" Xiao Han frowned.

"If you don't join us, that's also fine!" Liu Si's face suddenly bore a murderous look and said, "The agony of Chen Ming's severed arm, I must return to you. Leave one arm behind, and you may go."

Since the confrontation had escalated, Liu Si was not afraid.

Xiao Han's eyes narrowed. Dealing with the four men in front of him didn't scare him. However, this was Liu Si's territory, and if the quarrel continued, he was certain to be at a disadvantage. Moreover, even if he managed to leave now, the other side could still find ways to trouble him later on. Endless troubles that he, just a student, would find hard to cope with.

"Is Fourth Master really willing to escalate this?" Xiao Han narrowed his eyes.

"What? You planning to bluff me?" Liu Si laughed and said, "Do you really think you have some background?"

"If it really comes to a fight, your men are no match for me!" Xiao Han suddenly expressed some confidence.

Xiao Han's confidence was not unfounded, but based on real strength. He might not have been so bold two months ago, but after two months, Xiao Han felt his strength had improved greatly even in his sleep. This progress had a huge impact on his body.

"You're not big, but you've got quite a mouth!" Liu Si sneered and said, "You guys, show him some color."

"Yes!" Several men in black immediately took a step forward.

Xiao Han, with his height of 1.8 meters, stood his ground and was, surprisingly, still shorter than the others. The four men quickly surrounded Xiao Han. Each of them looked eager to perform well in front of Liu Si. Since Xiao Han wasn't particularly sturdy and was even shorter than them, they were almost certain of their victory.

"Heh heh..." the leader of the men in black let out a chuckle and said, "Kid, just surrender without a fight. Otherwise, you're in for some real pain, and with your soft, tender skin, I doubt you can take a few punches from us."

"Cut the crap!" Xiao Han suddenly lashed out with a kick and quickly charged forward, striking preemptively as was always his style.

Bang!

He was fast, striking with the speed of lightning. Xiao Han's fist connected with the head of one of the men.

"Ouch!" the man screamed in pain.

Xiao Han swiftly burst forward. His foot kicked out again, this time against another man's chest.

Bang!

The kick struck again, but unfortunately, Xiao Han's kick wasn't very strong. The man only stepped back twice, and as soon as Xiao Han landed, they swarmed him. Xiao Han's eyes were fixed tightly on them. His brain worked like a supercomputer, calculating their movements and analyzing potential attacks and the trajectory of their limbs.

Smack!

Xiao Han quickly dodged backward, catching one man's kick with one hand. Gripping the man's ankle, a cold light flashed in his eyes. The man was shocked; he had not anticipated that Xiao Han could evaluate his attack so accurately in such a short time.

Crack!

With one hand holding the man's foot, Xiao Han's right leg fiercely kicked at the man's shin. A crisp sound followed, and the bone in the shin split on the spot. The man fell down immediately, screaming continuously, his cries echoing through the fourth floor, sending chills down the spines of those who heard.

As one man fell, the remaining three couldn't believe their eyes. This unassuming guy turned out to be incredibly strong, not only in might but also in agility and precision. He seemed not to be fighting alone, as if a computer was within him, calculating the enemy's every move.

"Impressive," the leader said, squinting his eyes, "You've got guts, courage, and strength. No wonder you dared to chop off Chen Ming's arm."

"Make your move," Xiao Han said with a cold smile.

"Clever guy," the leader sneered and launched an attack quickly.

This time, his fighting style was erratic, throwing punches left and right without pattern. Still, Xiao Han was able to catch each attack precisely and quickly exploited the man's vulnerability.

Bang!

Xiao Han stepped on a table and delivered a vicious kick to the man's neck.

Splatter...

The man spat out a mouthful of blood.

Not far away, Liu Si leaned on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds, observing the fight. He was taking in Xiao Han's strength in full view. This made him even keener to have someone like Xiao Han in his employ; the courage, boldness, and combat power that Xiao Han showed were indicators of a potentially great leader.

"Fourth Master, it looks like they can't hold him off," Li Shan said anxiously.

"Hmm!" Liu Si nodded and replied, "Go, open the door!"

"Yes!" Li Shan hurriedly nodded.

Li Shan rushed towards the door. In no time, dozens of men dressed in black, carrying axes, surged up from downstairs. The office quickly filled with people, and Xiao Han was surrounded tightly.

Xiao Han's expression darkened; dealing with the four men had been tough enough, and now a flood of others had appeared. Knowing he was outmatched, Xiao Han realized there was no escape within this dire situation.

"Don't you have any decency?" Xiao Han stepped back slightly and said, "Ganging up on one person, adults bullying a child?"

"I've said it before, in the underworld, it's not about the means, it's about the outcome," Li Shan said with a smile.

"So, you've set your sights on me today?" Xiao Han squinted his eyes.

"Yes," Li Shan nodded.

Xiao Han's mouth curled into a smile, looked at them and said, "You think you can stop me; that's just not possible."

"Let's try and see," Li Shan said indifferently with a smile.
