Chapter 55: Chapter 54: Bought Underwear, Had a Fight (Part 2)

Lin Tian was utterly dumbfounded by Zhou Botong’s words, thinking he was capable of putting up a fight, but it turned out his level was only good for group brawls.

"Don’t act rashly later on, let’s see how things go first," Lin Tian wasn’t worried about himself, but concerned that Zhou Botong might impulsively rush into danger.

As the two were speaking, the dozen or so thugs across from them suddenly split to two sides. A man looking like a boss came forward from behind with his arm in a sling around his neck—it was the fat man who had been shopping for lingerie with his mistress.

"I knew it was you!" Zhou Botong casually glanced at him and said, "Spit it out. What’s the big deal about summoning us here?"

"Young man, you should watch your tone when you’re out and about," the fat boss spoke more normally without the mistress present and pointed at Lin Tian, saying, "He’s the one I want to talk to, you can leave."

"Pah, what do you take me, Zhou Botong, for, to abandon a friend like some useless trash!" Zhou Botong spat out fiercely, shouting angrily.

"Alright, I admire the loyalty, so I’ll be straight with you. My name is Xu Shan. I’ve noticed this young brother’s skills are quite impressive, and I would like him to be my bodyguard. If he accepts, we can call it even with the previous incident," the fat man looked at Lin Tian and stated his intention.

However, Lin Tian was somewhat surprised by his offer, this Xu Shan wasn’t as foolish as he had appeared before. But Lin Tian also read between the lines of his words, meaning if he didn’t accept, the issue would not be settled.

"Honestly, I often go to Myanmar for the jadeite raw stone business, it’s not very peaceful there, and I need a skilled bodyguard," Xu Shan admitted.

Jadeite raw stone business? If the channels in Xikou City were basically controlled by the Bai Family, could Xu Shan be connected to them? Lin Tian sized up Xu Shan and said indifferently, "I’m not interested in being your bodyguard."

Setting aside their conflicts, for Lin Tian to face the sickening affairs of Xu Shan and his enchanting mistress every day, even his ’zombie’ body would find it unbearable.

"Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say. Brothers, give them a warm welcome," ordered Xu Shan with a wave of his chubby hand.

Scarred Man pulled out a steel pipe from behind and was about to lead the dozen or so thugs in a charge. But Lin Tian moved before they did, and in that alley, his figure was everywhere.

First, he turned and knocked down those three robust men, then spun back into the crowd, where the thugs fell like wheat under the scythe. In no time, only Xu Shan and three other gang leaders were left standing, with everyone else lying on the ground, clutching their stomachs, screaming for their fathers and mothers in agony.

With a clang, the brick that Zhou Botong had just pulled out dropped to the ground, along with the underwear packaging. He stood there in shock, still in an attacking stance.

Red hair shook the Scarred Man a few times, dazed, "Boss, did you just see what I saw?"

Slap, slap, slap, the Scarred Man smacked Red Hair three times, then asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, boss, why did you hit me?" Red Hair, already bewildered, was now even more confused.

"If it hurts, then it means we’re not dreaming, and all of this is real," Scarred Man added.

"Ah!" Bald Man screamed out loud and turned to run, shouting as he did, "Earth is too dangerous, I’m going back to Mars!"

"You two, aren’t you going back to Mars?" Lin Tian said with a laugh.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" The Scarred Man and Red Hair vanished in the blink of an eye, moving at lightning speed. Meanwhile, Xu Shan had already collapsed on the ground, cold sweat drenching his clothes.

"Bro... Brother, spare my life, I was blind to Mount Taishan," Xu Shan wiped the oily sweat from his face, stammering, "To show my remorse, I’m willing to compensate you for your emotional distress."

As he spoke, Xu Shan took out his wallet and from it, he pulled out a bank card, handing it over to Lin Tian with both hands.

"There are two hundred thousand yuan in this card, the password is six eights, Brother, please accept it graciously."

Xu Shan was indeed a cunning businessman, knowing how to sail with the wind and avoid harm for his benefit. Lin Tian had no intention of killing Xu Shan; he wasn’t bloodthirsty, and everyone he had killed before had a reason that justified their death.

He took the bank card from Xu Shan, a gesture that allowed Xu Shan to breathe a sigh of relief as it meant that Lin Tian was no longer after his life. But before he could take another breath of relief, Lin Tian snatched his wallet and took out his ID card.

Zhou Botong, who was snapping out of it on the side, was puzzled as to why Lin Tian would need Xu Shan’s ID card. Lin Tian didn’t care what they were thinking; he put the ID card on the ground and then took out his phone to take a photo.

"Xu Shan, I’ve taken a photo of your ID card. You mustn’t cause trouble for Victoria Beauty Workshop afterwards, or I will find you, and the consequences will be severe, got it?" Lin Tian tossed the wallet back to him.

"Sure, I promise I won’t, if you two gentlemen have no other matters, I’ll be taking my leave first." Xu Shan grabbed his wallet and ID card and scurried away, afraid Lin Tian would change his mind if he was slow.

He couldn’t harbor thoughts of revenge against Lin Tian anymore, because Xu Shan knew Lin Tian was too terrifying. Having done business for half his life and often mixing it up abroad, Xu Shan had never been a stranger to violence, and had even witnessed conflicts of armed forces in Myanmar. He used to think that as long as he had money and hired enough bodyguards, he could ensure his personal safety, but Lin Tian’s arrival completely shattered his belief.

The more one knew, the more they understood the terror of Lin Tian; only the self-righteous would dare provoke this plague.

Though this fat man kept a revolting mistress, Lin Tian had to admit he somewhat admired his decisive way of handling situations. After all, which successful man didn’t have a few lovers?

The delinquents knocked to the ground by Lin Tian finally recovered their strength and scampered away, soon clearing out.

"Brother Lin Tian, you’re too awesome, I, Zhou Botong, have never had an idol, but from today on, you’re my idol," Zhou Botong exclaimed dramatically.

Lin Tian knew this was the kind of outcome to expect, and he said helplessly, "Zhou Botong is my idol, you see this money..."

"Stop, Brother Lin Tian, let’s not talk about that now," Zhou Botong said earnestly, "I ask you, haven’t we shopped for underwear together? Haven’t we fought together?"

"Noticing the hidden agenda, Lin Tian subconsciously nodded.

"There you go, what’s that? That’s camaraderie, brother-in-arms. I feel it’s even closer than those who have shared hardships or studied together. And hey, you’re my idol; asking money from an idol, I, Zhou Botong, simply can’t do that..."

Your grandfather, dragging out the sharing of money with all this chatter, Lin Tian didn’t wait for him to finish and stuffed it straight into his pocket.

"Enough, you’re more of a nag than Tang Seng; I still need to go buy clothes. Are you coming?" Lin Tian waved his hand to cut off his prattle, knowing this guy wasn’t short of money, as the over ten thousand yuan spent on the two sets of underwear earlier didn’t even make him hesitate.

"Of course I’m coming, I was just worried about going alone!"
