406 Can’t Talk Here
"What? Did you just call someone here to save your ass?" Axe Boss glared at Chen Xiaobei condescendingly.
Unperturbed, Chen Xiaobei pocketed his cell phone and asked calmly: "Who's your boss?"
"Who's my boss? Haha!" Axe Boss laughed coldly. "You'll die of fright at his name – he's the pillar of West city: Brother Hao Nan. There's nothing he can't do in this town!"
Axe Boss's words seemed to raise Fan Jian's confidence; the latter lifted chin and snorted arrogantly. "Asshole! Stop struggling, I'm only going to break your legs."
"Little boy, leave now! Don't try to fight them!" A nervous Song Qincheng kept trying to chase him off.
"Don't worry! My guys will be here soon!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
"Idiot! Don't you know anything?!" Axe Boss exclaimed in genuine surprise; he'd never expecting that sort of reaction from him. Most people from the west side of Green Vine City knew Hao Nan and tend to cave whenever they heard his name, especially after Hao Nan's long years of making a living there.
However, Chen Xiaobei stayed completely unafraid. "Hao Nan? Who the hell is that?" he asked.
"Motherfucker… You're way too cocky!" Axe Boss yelled furiously. "Brother Hao Nan is the pillar of the west city. How could you not know him?! You will pay for your ignorance!"
"This asshole has no respect at all! He's too bloody cocky for his age! Axe Boss, you'll humiliate yourself and Brother Hao Nan if you don't cripple this asshole today!" Fan Jian added as he tried to fan the flames.
"Don't worry, this is our town. I'll make sure that he pays for his cocky attitude!" Axe Boss said confidently, waving him off.
As time passed, Song Qincheng was getting even more anxious, and kept pleading for Chen Xiaobei to escape. "Quick, leave! You'll die if you don't! Please, hurry! You don't have to mind my business!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled but kept quiet; he stood impassively without a hint of wanting to run away. He had also noticed that underneath her attractive clothes, Song Qincheng's breasts jiggled distinctly as she kept her anxious streak – which was why he simply paid every bit of attention to it.
His lustful grin soon gave him away.
"You're driving me crazy!" Song Qincheng frowned; she had an incredible urge to kick him right now. It was a life-or-death situation and Chen Xiaobei somehow found it appropriate to act like a pervert.
All of sudden, Axe Boss's followers were shouting.
"Axe Boss! Someone's here!"
"There's a lot of them, too! At least three hundred people are coming for us!"
"What?! Did that asshole really call them here to save his ass? Axe Boss! Can you handle them?"
The Axe Boss was shocked too, but quickly took out his cellphone in response. "Don't worry, Second Master Fan." He soothed. "Everyone else too. I'll just ask Brother Hao Nan for help, everything would soon turn out alright!"
"You don't have to ask. I'm already here…" A deep and grave voice said.
"Brother– Brother Hao Nan…"
The crowd made way as a middle-aged man with long hair stepped forward.
"Haha! My boss is here to give us a hand! Second Master Fan, you don't have to worry anymore!" Axe Boss said happily.
"Asshole! I dare you to keep acting like a cocky bastard! Five hundred people are standing around you right now, I'll start respecting you as a fellow man if you could still act cocky!" Fan Jian said, suddenly sounding relieved.
"So many people… Little boy, this is all my fault!" Song Qincheng lamented.
"It's really hard to keep track with your thoughts, woman." Chen Xiaobei grinned. "Not long ago, you were such a sexy and seductive succubus. Now you're a warm, kind and compassionate woman."
"Are you really that innocent?!" She shot back as tears welled in her eyes. "How could you still act like that? You're going to die, Little Kid!"
Meanwhile, Axe Boss began to lick Hao Nan's boots. "Boss, you're here right on time!" He said. "I was going to call you a second ago; I never expected that you would get here so quickly… But I felt you coming, because west city trembles at your every single step!"
He turned and started to mock Chen Xiaobei. "You useless asshole! Not even the gods can save-"
*Slap!*
Hao Nan had landed a solid palm on Axe Boss' face before he could finish his words. Axe Boss himself was a well-built individual but was still thrown three meters away by the hit, and a mouthful of blood gushed out through his mouth.
It was quite obvious that Hao Nan was a man with considerable combat power, which in turn explains his strong position in the west city.
"Bo… Boss… Why did you hit me?" Axe Boss asked in pain, not quite able to understand what was going on.
Song Qincheng, Fan Jian, and the rest of the crowd were equally surprised – only Chen Xiaobei himself stayed calm.
"Are- Are you alright?" Hao Nan walked towards Chen Xiaobei and bowed like a loyal follower.
However, Chen Xiaobei seemed a little too lazy to acknowledge him. "So. You're Little Hao?"
'Little Hao?!'
Those two simple words seemed to blow up everyone's heart. The respected and fearless Hao Nan had somehow become 'Little Hao' in front of Chen Xiaobei.
'Oh my god!'
'What was this madness!?'
Anyone who had talked to Hao Nan with such arrogance would have been turned into a pile of mud within seconds! However, Hao Nan appeared to be a completely different person today.
"Yes... It's Little Hao…" He kept nodding and answered in complete reverence.
Chen Xiaobei nodded once and asked: "Where is that Fire Boss? Why isn't he here?"
Hao Nan gulped. "Could you perhaps be referring to the one and only Fire Boss?" he asked gingerly. "I'm not worthy to talk to him directly – one of his subordinates ordered me to come here first."
"Hehe… My Fire Boss is getting quite cocky nowadays!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
Hao Nan did not dare to say anything else. He definitely did not have the guts to say anything that could be taken as an offense against Fire Boss, let alone Chen Xiaobei – who even ranks above the Fire Boss!
"There's more people coming!"
"Oh my God… They are coming from all directions!"
"There… There are at least a thousand of them… No! At least… Two… To… Three thousand people!"
The crowd was left dumbfounded as more gangsters came.
"This… What the hell is going on?"
Fan Jian and Axe Boss were so scared they crossed their legs so as to not wet themselves. Their pupils shriveled, their limbs froze as they kept swallowing like there was no tomorrow.
