"I told you there would be consequences for crossing me."
"But none of you believed me,"
Chen Qingdi said coldly.
As he spoke, SLAP! SLAP!
He delivered several more slaps to Li Man's face.
His entire face was beaten until it swelled up like a pig's head.
Li Man had never been beaten like this before. Moreover, he was the Vice President of Holy Era.
But here he was, getting hit by a kid, with so many of his own men watching. For a moment, he wished he could just disappear into a hole in the ground.
"You've all had it too easy. Don't you know that if you don't act right, the world will teach you a harsh lesson?"
Chen Qingdi looked at them indifferently.
How could any of them dare to say a word? They were all terrified by Chen Qingdi's powerful aura.
"If you want to live, kneel before me and admit your mistake. One by one. Who's first?"
Chen Qingdi said with detached indifference.
THUD!
Bao Buqun dropped straight to his knees.
"Boss, I was wrong! Please spare me,"
Bao Buqun said.
At this moment, even though he didn't want to do it, it was clear that if they didn't comply, they wouldn't be walking out of here today.
So, he could only lower his head.
As Bao Buqun knelt, THUD!
Another bodyguard also knelt.
When Li Man saw this, he was completely dumbfounded.
They had originally planned to teach Chen Qingdi a good lesson.
But now the tables had turned, and he was the one teaching them a lesson.
THUD! THUD!
Soon, a large number of them were kneeling.
They scrambled over each other to apologize to Chen Qingdi.
In the end, only Zhao Yuan, Li Man, and Qi Yu were left standing, not yet having knelt to apologize to Chen Qingdi.
"Come on. The people outside can't see what's happening right now."
"Wouldn't it be even more humiliating if they saw?"
Chen Qingdi glanced at the last three who had not knelt and apologized.
Li Man walked over to Qi Yu's side and whispered, "Young Master Qi, a wise man knows when to pick his battles. Let him have his moment. We'll deal with him slowly later."
"But he's too strong. You'll have to go to the Qi Family and bring your experts."
"I'm sure Patriarch Qi will handle this. He won't let you be bullied like this,"
Li Man continued in a low voice.
In the end, Qi Yu could only nod.
Otherwise, they really might not make it out of here today.
Qi Yu and the other two slowly walked up to Chen Qingdi.
Then, with reluctant expressions, they knelt before him.
"Can you let us go now?"
Qi Yu looked up, his face filled with defiance as he stared at Chen Qingdi.
"What's this? Still not convinced?"
Chen Qingdi walked up to Qi Yu and, SLAP, gave him a hard slap across the face.
It sent Qi Yu reeling.
Blood trickled from the corner of Qi Yu's mouth. When he looked at Chen Qingdi again, the defiant glint in his eyes was gone.
"Isn't that enough? You shouldn't be so arrogant,"
Li Man said.
The moment Li Man finished speaking, SLAP.
Chen Qingdi slapped him again.
This time, Li Man was thoroughly panicked.
Zhao Yuan, standing to the side, was too frightened to speak.
"Don't think I won't hit you just because you're quiet."
SLAP. Chen Qingdi slapped Zhao Yuan as well.
"One slap for each of the three of you. That's fair."
"Alright, now you can all see me out with great fanfare. Make sure it's a grand send-off."
Chen Qingdi looked at the three of them.
The three forced a smile, unlocked the main hall door, and formed a line to personally escort Chen Qingdi to the main entrance.
Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei, who had been waiting at the main entrance the whole time, breathed a huge sigh of relief when they finally saw Chen Qingdi emerge.
The two of them quickly ran up to him.
"Mr. Chen, you're finally out!"
"If you hadn't come out soon, I was about to go home and get reinforcements,"
Luo Longsheng said.
"Haha!"
"Didn't I tell you I'd come out safely?"
"Look how respectful they are to me,"
Chen Qingdi said, gesturing toward Zhao Yuan and the others who had escorted him out.
"Alright, you two can go back now without worry. I'm heading home too."
"See you!"
With that, Chen Qingdi waved at Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei, casually hailed a taxi by the roadside, and quickly left.
Seeing Chen Qingdi leave, Luo Longsheng and Mu Xinlei also departed quickly.
But at that moment, standing in front of Holy Era, the forced smile on Qi Yu's face instantly vanished.
"Chen Qingdi, I won't let you get away with this,"
Qi Yu said coldly.
"Young Master Qi, you should hurry home and tell Patriarch Qi what happened."
"Holy Era awaits your command at any time,"
Li Man said to Qi Yu.
"Right, I'm heading back now."
Qi Yu's face was filled with killing intent.
He angrily got into his car and, the entire way, relentlessly urged the driver to go faster.
Seeing his state, the driver didn't dare say anything and could only drive as fast as he could.
Meanwhile, Li Man's and Zhao Yuan's faces were red and swollen.
The slaps Chen Qingdi had given them were truly not light.
"That Chen Qingdi is in for it this time."
"It doesn't matter how good his skills are. The Qi Family has plenty of ways to deal with him,"
Zhao Yuan said.
"Yeah, let him be smug for a little while."
"He'll end up losing his head over this,"
Li Man said.
After speaking, the two of them returned to their hotel.
Chen Qingdi, of course, knew that he had now thoroughly provoked the Qi Family.
But he wasn't worried, nor was he afraid.
If the Qi Family wanted to come settle the score, he would be ready for them.
Chen Qingdi was on his way back in the taxi when, at that very moment, he received a call from the Wu Family's elder, Wu Jinfeng.
"Elder Wu!"
"Is something the matter?"
Chen Qingdi asked directly.
"Can you come over?"
"Something's happened at the Wu Family, and we need your help,"
Elder Wu said.
"What is it?"
Chen Qingdi asked.
"The Wu Family's Hundred Fist Atlas is missing!"
"Can you come over?"
"We can talk about the specifics when we meet,"
Elder Wu said.
The Hundred Fist Atlas. Chen Qingdi had heard it was one of the Wu Family's Ancient Martial Arts Books.
It was a type of Ancient Fist Technique. Its status probably wasn't critically important, but it still had an impact on the Wu Family.
Now that the Hundred Fist Atlas was missing, the fact that Elder Wu thought of Chen Qingdi naturally showed how highly he regarded him.
He knew Chen Qingdi was a man of great ability, which was why he called.
Having just arrived in the Jingxi Capital, Chen Qingdi figured it was best to make friends where he could. The Wu Family was considered an Ancient Martial Family.
Their strength was comparable to a burgeoning second-rate family. Although they couldn't match the foundation of a first-rate family, they were still impressive. After some thought, Chen Qingdi decided he should go. After all, Elder Wu had treated him quite well.
