Chapter 661 - 688 Shangguan He
Chapter 661: Chapter 688 Shangguan He
The hotel was already some distance behind as Hou Yao drove away, thinking to himself, "Is it true that no one is chasing me?"
But whether anyone was chasing him or not, he felt significantly more at ease now.
On the street, would anyone dare to make a move against him? Although there weren’t many people around at this hour, this is Huaxia after all.
"The Shangguan family, huh, they’re nothing!" he sneered.
If he had been blocked by the Shangguan family inside the hotel, with those few masters at the venue, he definitely wouldn’t have escaped. But now, the sky is wide and the sea is vast.
Besides, he was very confident in his driving skills.
In Mexico, high-speed car chases were commonplace!
But here?
Obviously, they were nearly unheard of!
While he was thinking this, a red light appeared ahead, forcing him to stop his car.
Abroad, he could easily ignore red lights, and no one would dare to trouble him, let alone find fault.
If he recklessly ran the light now, he might be intercepted by the authorities before even getting on the plane.
"Hmm?"
He glanced back and saw a black Hummer speeding in the adjacent lane, rushing forward.
"Someone’s actually running a red light?" he thought.
But in the next moment, his pupils dilated, and he floored the gas pedal and turned the steering wheel sharply, but it was futile; he was still too slow compared to the Hummer’s speed.
The Hummer, barreling down, swerved and crashed directly into his Mercedes sports car.
"Bang!"
A loud crash resounded, as his car spun 360 degrees, flipped several times in the air, and finally stopped thirty meters away.
Forty meters away was a slope, with a large river below.
It was too dark to see how deep the river was, but it was definitely deep.
The car stopped right on the edge of the slope, barely avoiding plunging into the river.
For Hou Yao, the King of Soldiers, this level of damage was not unbearable.
The next moment, he struggled out of the car with incredible speed. Although not seriously injured, he looked extremely battered, covered in blood.
With a cold gaze, he glanced at his severely deformed sports car and the dark river, murderous intent surged from his body.
The night was dark, the wind was high, a perfect night for killing!
Suddenly, he heard extremely light footsteps approaching him.
Hou Yao sneered, looking towards the direction of the crash, he saw an old man approaching slowly in a Tang suit and small leather shoes, his face showed no expression, appearing somewhat eerie.
"Heh!" He also started walking toward the elderly man, saying, "Don’t think I’ll respect the old or love the young; that concept does not exist in my world. You hit me just now, so you can go to hell!"
In his eyes, just an old man, could he be compared to his own peak?
Even if the old man was somewhat stronger, could he outmatch him in stamina? In combat experience?
He was extremely confident in this regard.
As the two were about to clash, another car stopped twenty meters away, and from it emerged another old man.
This was Wang Wudao.
Seeing this, he stood motionless by the car, observing.
He seemed to have no intention of intervening.
Hou Yao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Are there only old men domestically?"
"Where are the younger strong ones?"
As he pondered this, the Tang-suited elder approaching him said without any emotion, "Your killer, Shangguan He."
"Heh, who kills who is yet to be determined!" Hou Yao retorted, increasing his speed.
In an instant, the two figures intertwined, any ordinary bystanders nearby wouldn’t be able to see their moves.
But in just ten seconds, Hou Yao’s body flew towards the river, crashing beside his severely deformed car.
At this point, he had no less than ten wounds, all deep enough to reveal bone.
"Why are you so strong?" Hou Yao spat out blood, "Are you a Peak Soldier King?"
Despite his injuries, he was still trying to gather strength to jump into the river.
Shangguan He snorted coldly, "Can you escape?"
In the next moment, a piece of stone flew from Shangguan He’s hand, piercing through Hou Yao’s head, with a "bang!" he fell to the ground, instantly dead beyond repair.
At this moment, Wang Wudao, who had been silently observing, suddenly walked towards Shangguan He.
Shangguan He’s eyes turned cold; as the boss of the northern city’s underground forces, he knew Wang Wudao wasn’t easy to deal with.
In terms of strength, they were likely comparable.
"Are you planning to make a move against me?" Shangguan He halted his advance towards Hou Yao and turned to look at Wang Wudao.
Wang Wudao shook his head, "I’m not interested in provoking the Shangguan family, unless I wish to leave Chuzhou City!"
"But clearly, with my family’s large business, I won’t be leaving, so you can relax!"
Hearing this, Shangguan He remained cautious, knowing the unpredictability of underground forces.
"I want to discuss a business deal with you, or rather with your Shangguan family!" Wang Wudao stopped at a safe distance.
Shangguan He showed a puzzled look, "What business?"
Wang Wudao’s eyes moved to Hou Yao’s body, "The jade pendant he just bid on, I want it!"
"Of course, I can pay you for it!"
Shangguan was taken aback, recalling that Wang Wudao had also bid on it, but Hou Yao had offered far more than its worth, which deterred him. Trying for an ambush?
Only to be preempted by him.
"Alright!" Shangguan He agreed, since their family had put it up for sale, there was no need to take it back.
Doing so would greatly impact their reputation.
However, he needed to check with Shangguan Nishang about the price, so he said, "Hold on, I’ll make a call."
On the other side, Lin Xi, following the scent, arrived at the hotel entrance and saw the leader of the Mercenary Corps getting into a stretched Cadillac.
He casually hailed a taxi and told the driver, "Follow that car."
The driver hesitated, "This doesn’t seem right!"
Seeing the taxi driver’s reluctance, Lin Xi quickly took out five hundred-yuan bills and handed them to him.
Immediately, the taxi driver said nothing more, stepped on the gas, and followed as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ritian, under the protection of four elite soldiers, got into a black car.
The four elite soldiers got into the car behind him, closely following Zhao Ritian’s car.
As the two cars departed, five more cars followed one after another.
