Chapter 70 - 70 63 The Restaurant War God

70: Chapter 63: The Restaurant War God 70: Chapter 63: The Restaurant War God People who practice martial arts inevitably develop muscle reactions.

Gao Yi’s hands moved before his brain did, and he could only say helplessly that he couldn’t hold back.

After all, he couldn’t just watch his target slip away in front of his eyes.

Whether it was an opportunity or not, Gao Yi wouldn’t have made a move if he had considered that.

In fact, the hall hadn’t descended into complete chaos yet.

A woman’s scream alone didn’t immediately alert everyone to what had happened, so most of the guests were still seated calmly, showing no reaction.

But the security staff reacted very quickly.

The moment Henry fell, Gao Yi caught a glimpse of at least two men rushing towards him in his peripheral vision.

Henry was already dead; anything they did now was useless.

Henry’s butler was right beside him.

If he did nothing, Gao Yi would have let him go.

But Henry came from a criminal background, and so did his butler.

Realizing Gao Yi had brazenly made his move and instantly knocked down his boss, the butler instinctively threw a punch at Gao Yi.

The butler definitely planned to take down Gao Yi before checking on his boss, so his reaction wasn’t wrong.

But Gao Yi was in a highly tense and reactive state, seeing someone coming at him, his fist moved faster, landing squarely on the butler’s chest.

No blocks, no dodges, just one hit.

Because of Hsing Yi Boxing’s characteristics, it was easier for Gao Yi to kill than to incapacitate.

One of the security personnel started shouting at Gao Yi in French, which he didn’t understand.

These security personnel were armed and certainly had the legal qualifications to carry and use firearms under the current circumstances.

However, these security staff weren’t accompanying Henry, nor were they with Ditzel.

This meant that their duty was to ensure the safety of the entire banquet, not to specifically protect individuals.

Understanding this, one could see that the security wouldn’t be quick to shoot, given the crowd was too large.

They couldn’t risk harming the guests while trying to shoot the assailant.

In other words, the security would rather let Gao Yi escape than risk injuring any guests.

So the security personnel posed a lesser threat.

The major threat was from Henry’s subordinates, who were from the underworld.

French mobsters were much more dangerous than regular soldiers, meaning they might really shoot without concern for bystander casualties.

But the people Henry had arranged were hard to identify.

Some were dressed as waiters, while others were simply mingling with the guests.

Gao Yi killed Henry with a punch, killed the butler with another, then spun around to survey his surroundings.

Indeed, at the farthest rear, there was someone standing up, pulling out a gun.

The distance was quite far, at least six or seven meters, with two rows of tables in between.

Gao Yi needed to vault over the tables to eliminate this threat, whereas the gunman just needed to stand and pull the trigger.

Luckily, this was a restaurant.

Had it been another place, Gao Yi would have been in real trouble, but in a restaurant, he was an unstoppable god.

What was most abundant in the restaurant?

Firstly, utensils, then the tables and chairs.

They were eating a French meal, Western-style, so the table was abundantly supplied with knives and plates.

Gao Yi casually grabbed a dinner knife from the table, then flung it.

The knife turned into a streak of silver light heading straight for the gunman’s face.

This knife was much easier to handle than chopsticks.

Though the dinner knife wasn’t sharp, Gao Yi could launch chopsticks to stick into a dummy, so this knife was only stronger.

With a scream, the gunman, aiming at Gao Yi, covered his face with his hands, his gun unavoidably skewed.

Gao Yi couldn’t kill with the knife; he wasn’t that skilled, but hitting the gunman’s face accurately was enough.

Leaping onto the table, grabbing another dinner knife, and throwing it while jumping to another table, Gao Yi’s knee hit the gunman’s chest as he landed.

Even Gao Yi couldn’t clearly tell what had happened.

The gunman raised his gun; Gao Yi threw the knife, hitting the gunman’s face; the gunman fired, missing, then Gao Yi leaped over two tables, hitting the gunman in the face with a knee; that was Gao Yi’s entire ordeal.

The guests panicked and ran.

Landing, Gao Yi threw another dinner knife at another gunman three meters away, the gunman raised his gun, dodged fleeing guests, was just lowering his weapon to aim at Gao Yi when a flying knife already reached him.

He instinctively dodged, but the knife still embedded in his cheek.

“Ah!”

A loud cry, but though his face hurt, it didn’t stop the gunman from firing.

But as he pulled the trigger, his gun was suddenly pushed towards the ceiling, and then all went dark for him as he was struck down without knowing what hit him.

The second gunman was taken care of, and by then, the hall had descended into total chaos.

Guests ran, security aimed to assure the event’s safety and take down Gao Yi quickly, but they would absolutely not shoot towards the crowd.

There were supposed to be eight outsourced security personnel.

As Gao Yi merged with the chaotic crowd heading towards the only great hall door, the two security personnel there screamed, “Stay calm, leave this area…”

Two security guarded the door.

The other six were closing in.

But at that moment, the two at the door seemed to receive a command, ran to the sides, opening the great door, and gave up on shooting Gao Yi as he exited.

This was intentionally making a way out for Gao Yi to escape with the guests.

But this made Gao Yi stop in his tracks.

Going out meant danger was greater outside, in the open area where all the guests would scatter, losing any cover, and where many more security personnel awaited, ready to shoot with both pistols and rifles, assuredly sealing his fate.

Gao Yi stopped, turned around, and began to run back against the flow of people.

A security personnel raised his gun at Gao Yi, hands shaking, not daring to shoot.

He was very close, at most five meters from Gao Yi, but had no chance to shoot.

Gao Yi held a dinner knife all the while, unconcerned, he suddenly stood up, flinging the knife.

It wouldn’t be lethal, but it could at least obstruct the shooter’s line of sight.

Another grunt, the security personnel raised his hand, lifting the gun.

He was afraid to shoot.

Gao Yi’s aim with the knife was slightly off, sticking next to the security officer’s nose, but it was enough to prevent him from firing.

Gao Yi rushed forward, grabbing the security officer’s wrist holding the gun and twisted it, causing the officer to turn involuntarily in pain, whereupon Gao Yi slapped him down.

It took two moves to incapacitate the security officer, who groaned and passed out.

This security personnel was just making a living legally, not like those harmful underworld members, so Gao Yi had shown some mercy.

Breaking a wrist was better than death, and without the ability to resist, that was enough.

Now, the only threatening security personnel Gao Yi needed to face was one.

The rest were cut off by guests rushing to get out.

Regarding Henry’s men, none could be seen in the chaos.

Gao Yi’s left hand picked up another fork from the table and flung it on instinct.

Standing up from next to the dining table, maneuvering around it, escaping wasn’t quick in a crowded hall.

Gao Yi was surrounded by guests both behind and in front.

But the security personnel, originally standing by the wall, had no one behind him.

With this slight difference, Gao Yi’s thrown knife would surely hit, but the security couldn’t dare shoot.

Seeing Gao Yi fling his hand again, the security instinctively ducked and tilted, but the fork thrown by Gao Yi’s left hand flew to who knows where, and after the security’s reflex action, he straightened up again, attempting to aim his gun at Gao Yi when another kitchen knife from Gao Yi’s right hand came flying.

This time the security didn’t dodge, but he immediately groaned in pain.
