Chapter 97: Kneel and Kowtow

Qiang Ge's face turned pale and then red as he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, are you really looking for death? Do you think I would kneel to you? Do you dare make me kneel to you?"

"Why shouldn't I? Since you lost the bet, no matter who you are, you have to pay up," Lin Chen said.

Qiang Ge's eyes darted around, "Your meaning is, even if it's Lietou Ge and our Big Sister who lost to you, they would also have to kneel and kowtow to you, calling you Grandpa?"

If Qiang Ge didn't kneel and kowtow now, he would inevitably get a bad reputation for being untrustworthy, and no one would be willing to bet with him in the future.

By mentioning Lietou Ge and their Big Sister, if Lin Chen dared to answer yes, then he would have a reason to cut this kid down.

Their Big Sister was the infamous "Black Widow," the ruthless underground queen of Yuehai City. To offend her was to invite death!

The people around them all saw through his plan, but they were somewhat disdainful. The trap was too obvious, and only a fool would fall for it.

Lin Chen, however, said calmly, "Don't play these silly mind games. But I can answer you: yes, no matter who loses to me, I will get what I deserve."

"Damn, is this kid crazy?"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in shock. This kid meant that even if the "Black Widow" lost to him, she would have to kneel and kowtow to him, calling him Grandpa!

This was too arrogant and outrageous. Instinctively, people took a step back, distancing themselves from Lin Chen. To be disrespectful to the "Black Widow" in the "Night Dynasty" was to be a dead man!

"Kid, you dare to insult our Big Sister, I'll kill you. What are you all standing there for? Kill him!"

Qiang Ge's face was filled with joy, not expecting this fool to actually fall into the trap. Without giving Lin Chen a chance to speak, he shouted.

The henchmen had been itching to get their hands dirty. Hearing their boss's order, they picked up bottles and rushed at Lin Chen, some even wielding knives.

This was clearly not just a fight, but a murder attempt!

"Ah! Lin Chen, run!"

Zhang Yue Rong's face turned pale with fear, her body trembling. They were already surrounded and had no way to escape. She was so nervous she was on the verge of tears.

"Rong Jie, don't worry, they're just a bunch of thugs. Don't be nervous."

Lin Chen comforted her, then looked at Qiang Ge and the others with a cold smile, "You don't want to kneel on your own, huh? Then I'll make you lie down. To be honest, I don't really want to take you as my grandsons!"

With that, he pounced like a tiger among sheep. The sound of bones breaking echoed in the room. In less than half a minute, all the henchmen were lying on the ground, moaning with broken limbs.

Someone couldn't help but rub their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing. They suspected it was just an illusion. One person fighting a group, each one being instantly disabled, it was more exaggerated than a movie!

There were some experienced people in the crowd, and they all felt a chill.

A master! This kid was a hidden master. No wonder he was so arrogant from the beginning, not even taking Qiang Ge, who others feared like a venomous snake, seriously!

Lin Chen stood before the pale-faced Qiang Ge, like a king among ants!

"How about it, are you going to kneel now?" Lin Chen said calmly.

"You..."

Qiang Ge didn't expect the other party to be so skilled. He had fought on the streets and considered himself somewhat capable, but compared to Lin Chen, he was a joke.

He forced himself to remain calm, "Kid, don't think you're invincible just because you can fight! You hit people from the 'Night Dynasty.' No matter who you are, you're dead! In Yuehai City, no one has ever dared to cause trouble in our bar. Those who did are no longer in this world! I advise you to kneel and beg for mercy now, or else—"

Crack!

Qiang Ge's hand fell limp, already broken by Lin Chen.

"Ah! You, you, you... you're a madman!"

"Kneel down, kowtow. I'm not in a good mood right now, so do it quickly, or I'll break all your limbs and crush them." Lin Chen's voice was cold and mechanical, devoid of emotion.

For some reason, after drinking those few glasses of alcohol, though he wasn't drunk, he remembered some things from the past, a woman he hated.

He had once considered that woman his everything. He was willing to rip out his heart and give it to her, but in the end, he received only humiliation from her!

Because of his hatred for her, he also hated himself, hating that he was a poor, powerless rural boy. So he ran away from that small village, swearing to make a name for himself.

He thought he had forgotten her, but now he realized he hadn't. At least thinking of her made him feel very bad, bad enough to want to kill.

"Kneel down, kowtow, and call me Grandpa, or I'll kill you."

Lin Chen's voice was not loud, but it was like a knife pressed against Qiang Ge's heart. Qiang Ge's scalp tingled under the cold gaze, and a voice in his head told him that this man would really kill him!

Qiang Ge's legs gave out, and he knelt down.

Thud!

Qiang Ge's head hit the ground with a dull thud.

"Grandpa!" Qiang Ge gritted his teeth.

Lin Chen didn't look at him again but pulled Zhang Yue Rong, who was looking at him in disbelief, and walked toward Xu Yi and his group.

Xu Yi and his group's faces changed dramatically. A few of them tried to run, but they didn't get far before Lin Chen casually threw a bottle at their heads, causing them to scream in pain and fall to the ground, blood gushing from their heads.

"You... you... don't do anything rash," Xu Yi, who wanted to run but didn't dare, said in a panic as Lin Chen approached.

"My father is the boss of 'Jia Real Estate.' If you dare to hit me, my father won't let you off!" Xu Yi said sternly, though his legs were trembling. He was truly terrified by Lin Chen's ferocity.

If he had known this guy was so strong, he would never have dared to provoke him, but it was too late now!

"Kneel down, slap yourself, and don't stop until I say so," Lin Chen said calmly.

"You..."

Xu Yi tried to speak, but Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them, scaring him into kneeling on the ground. He bit his lip and started slapping himself hard.

The others, though unwilling, also knelt and slapped themselves like Xu Yi.

Only one person didn't kneel, the purple-haired, blue-eyed Su Ruan.

Su Ruan's face was panicked, but she held her ground, defiantly saying, "I won't kneel. You're a dirty thug. You can beat me to death, but I won't kneel to you! If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me!"

Lin Chen was taken aback, not expecting this girl to have such backbone. He coldly laughed, "Are you sure you won't kneel? Do you think I'll show mercy? Hmph! You all incited Qiang Ge to come after me. If I were an ordinary person, wouldn't I have to kneel and kowtow to you and apologize, and Rong Jie would have been violated by those people? What reason do I have to let you go?"
