"Are you playing around?"
Yang Shi'an yelled loudly, "Hurry up and catch this man for me, otherwise, you will regret it!"
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Iron King looked towards Shi Hao and respectfully asked, "Young Master Shi, how would you like to handle this man? Should we finish him off?" He gestured as if slitting a throat.
Meanwhile, Liu Mang was completely dumbfounded.
It had only been a few days, but how had Shi Hao changed so much that he was completely unrecognizable?
Shi Hao smiled. "A lesson will suffice."
"Yes." Iron King immediately strode towards Yang Shi'an.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do!" Yang Shi'an quickly drew back while his several followers attempted to block the way.
However, once Iron King made his move, thump, thump, thump, with one punch each, those followers were no match and immediately fell to the ground.
Yang Shi'an hastily fled, but Iron King caught up, hammering down punch after punch.
Screams were continuous, as Yang Shi'an was beaten all the way out of the Shuangyun Restaurant, utterly disheveled.
On the street below, Bu Yufeng and his group had not left because Ma Dai'er insisted on staying to watch the situation unfold.
When they saw Yang Shi'an getting beaten, each of them was stunned.
Why was Yang Shi'an the one being beaten?
Although they had seen someone being thrown out the window earlier, they knew that Shi Hao had defeated Wang Qian and certainly wouldn't be caught without a fight, inevitably leading to a fierce battle. But facing a butcher like Miao Hua, surely Shi Hao would be no match.
"That's Iron King!" Bu Yufeng recognized him, the second in command at the martial arts school, whose figure was as identifiable as a tower.
But they were even more baffled, why was Iron King beating up Yang Shi'an?
"Look!" Feng Shishi suddenly pointed towards the upper floor.
They saw, at the broken window on the third floor, Shi Hao appeared, next to him stood Miao Hua whose expression of ingratiating flattery was so clear even a blind man could see.
What, what was going on?
They looked at each other and suddenly realized that they might have made the wrong choice.
Soon, Iron King returned to the upper floor.
"He is my brother, Liu Mang," Shi Hao pointed at the fatty, introducing him to Iron King.
"I pay my respects to Young Master Liu!" Iron King, although seeming rough, was quick to react and immediately knelt on one knee, saluting Liu Mang.
Seeing this, Miao Hua also hurriedly knelt down halfway.
This left Liu Mang at a loss as the two kneeling before him were the second and third in command of the martial arts school, both under Wu Shibai and known as the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Stone, what exactly is going on?" He was slightly fearful but more so excited.
Shi Hao smiled. "I'll explain everything when we get back. How about it, Ma Dai'er is still down there, shall we invite her up again?"
He was indifferent towards Ma Dai'er, but if his brother liked her, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.
Liu Mang shook his head. "No need, I don't like her anymore."
The goddess had shattered in his heart when she decidedly walked away.
Shi Hao smiled, "Great! I told you just now, from now on, the women chasing you could line up!"
Iron King timely said, "Young Master Shi, it's too chaotic here. How about we change the place and eat somewhere else?"
"Sure." Shi Hao nodded. Indeed, he had not yet had his fill; Bu Yufeng was not as generous as he seemed, having ordered few dishes.
——If Bu Yufeng knew this, he would certainly cry foul, as the items at Shuangyun Restaurant were outrageously expensive, and just a few dishes had cost several hundred Silver.
They ascended to the fifth floor, which hosted the "Tian" character suites, open only to the elite. The level of ornate decoration instantly escalated, and the welcoming maids were all beauties, putting Liu Mang immediately on edge.
Shi Hao patted his shoulder, giving him an encouraging smile, which slowly helped Liu Mang relax.
Once the dishes arrived, they began eating and drinking. Iron King and Miao Hua personally accompanied them, and had it not been for Shi Hao's intervention, they would have also invited Wu Shibai.
This made Liu Mang grimace; he barely recognized his own brother now.
But soon, noises started coming from outside.
"Miao Hua, Iron King, come out!" someone shouted loudly, full of power.
Upon opening the window, Miao Hua said, "It's the Yang Family head."
That wasn't surprising. After hitting the younger one, naturally, the elder would come out.
"Young Master Shi, I'll go down and handle this," Iron King said.
Shi Hao nodded. Taking over Sea Spirit Martial Arts Dojo was all about conveniently handling such trivial matters for him.
Iron King went down, and soon after, fighting sounds could be heard. For a moment, the City Guard Army also arrived, and the two sides couldn't fight anymore.
——The Cloud-Piercing Crossbows wielded by the City Guard Army were too dominating, capable of killing advanced martial disciples. Even Wu Shibai wouldn't dare to act recklessly if they were involved.
However, the Yang Family was not willing to leave and instead put pressure on the City Guard Army to arrest Shi Hao and severely punish him.
The Yang Family, although not top-tier, still wielded enough influence to overwhelm the City Guard Army. On the other hand, Iron King was equally unyielding, putting the captain of the City Guard Army, Ren Wu, in a tough spot.
On one hand was the Yang Family, and on the other, the Sea Spirit Martial Arts Dojo—both formidable opponents he couldn't afford to offend.
In the end, Ren Wu had no choice but to go up himself to meet Shi Hao, hoping to persuade him to step back, apologize to the Yang Family, and thus smoothly resolve the issue.
Yang Family head Yang Chao also came up with Yang Shi'an, curious to see who was worth Iron King's staunch protection.
When they arrived at the fifth-floor suite and saw Shi Hao leisurely eating and drinking, they couldn't help but grimace.
Oh, they were downstairs fighting a life and death battle, yet here you were, so casually enjoying your meal and watching the drama unfold, so delightfully?
"What madman dares to beat my son?" Yang Chao coldly said to Shi Hao.
"Hehe!" Ren Wu quickly intervened, "Lord Yang, please calm down. Let me speak first."
He looked at Shi Hao, surprised by his youth.
Could this be Wu Shibai's illegitimate son?
Tsk, such a good-looking kid, it's likely he's not biologically related; otherwise, considering Wu Shibai's looks, how beautiful would his woman have to be to birth such a son?
While internally speculating, Ren Wu of course didn't show it but instead said with cupped hands, "This gentleman—"
"What gentleman this and that, this is Young Master Shi!" Miao Hua immediately scolded, facing a mere captain of the City Guard Army, he didn't need to be courteous.
Ren Wu's expression became somewhat ugly, but he still forcibly swallowed his anger and said again, "Young Master Shi, misunderstandings should be resolved rather than tangled. How about you apologize to Lord Yang, compensate a little, and we can close this matter?"
"No way, I can't swallow this insult!" Yang Shi'an immediately shouted loudly.
Ren Wu frowned, looking at Yang Shi'an, "Then what does Young Master Yang suggest?"
"Let him come over and kowtow three times to me!" Yang Shi'an said through gritted teeth.
