Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Is This Called Extortion?

With a thud, Chen Biao crashed to the floor, with the other three stunned into silence.

”Damn, what kind of company do you think you’re running that needs tens of billions in liquid funds? Are you a multinational corporation or what?”

”What? Is there a problem?” Su Yang asked with a light smile.

The four men looked at each other, remained silent for a long time, before Yang Laohu finally spoke in a low voice, ”Master Su, it’s just that... it’s a bit difficult to come up with that much money!”

”All four of you leaders are influential figures. Isn’t it just like child’s play for one of you to take out five or six billion? What’s so difficult about that?” Su Yang smiled faintly. ”If it really is a problem, then I can’t help but doubt whether you’re up to the task of being a leader. Maybe it’s time for someone else to take your place!”

The faces of all four changed, as Su Yang was subtly hinting that if they couldn’t come up with the money, their position as leaders might need to change.

They fell silent again, realizing that coming up with five or six billion each would indeed hurt them deeply. They had thought that a few tens of millions would have settled the matter, but Su Yang’s appetite proved to be much larger—they were being bled dry.

Already, each of them had lost two to three billion here, to cough up another five or six billion on top of that—how could they possibly manage?

”Master Su, it really is difficult to arrange such a large sum of money!” Wu Tianxiong also said with a grave tone.

”You all know for yourselves whether it’s difficult or not. I won’t belabor the point,” Su Yang patted Wu Tianxiong on the shoulder with a smile. ”How about this? I’ll give you a few days to think about it. Once you’ve made a decision, give me a response, okay?”

The four of them exchanged glances and nodded. To be able to leave this place was the most pressing matter; they would deal with everything else later.

Moreover, in their view, since Su Yang had offended Nan Wudi, he was courting death. Once they returned, Nan Wudi might come seeking revenge. Whether Su Yang would still be alive by then was yet to be determined, so this matter could wait.

After letting the four bosses leave, Su Yang finally turned his attention to Zhao Feipeng and the rest. His gaze swept over them and finally rested on Huang Yang.

Huang Yang’s face was the picture of extreme awkwardness; he didn’t dare utter a single word, head bowed.

After a cough, Zhao Feipeng struggled to sit upright and said tremblingly, ”Master Su, we were blind to Mount Tai earlier and have caused offense. I hereby apologize to you, Master Su. Huang Yang, what are you guys staring at? Haven’t you apologized to Master Su yet?”

Huang Yang and the others hurriedly bent over to bow and said in unison, ”Master Su, we’re sorry.”

”Master Zhao, you’re quite adept at trimming your sails,” Su Yang said with an amused smile.

Zhao Feipeng’s face changed, and speaking in displeasure, he looked at Su Yang, ”Master Su, we were wrong to offend you earlier. But after all, we came to help you. Yes, we lost, but we’re not enemies. By treating us this way, aren’t you afraid of chilling the hearts of others? If this is how things stand, who would dare to help you in the future?”

”I’m grateful that you came to help us,” Su Yang replied with a light smile. ”But, if you do something wrong, there should be consequences, right? Huang Yang, you treated my friend like a call girl. Zhao Feipeng, you, as a master, not only fail to uphold justice but also shield your own disciple. Shouldn’t we settle these matters?”

Zhao Feipeng immediately turned pale; in this matter, he did indeed protect Huang Yang. At the time, he didn’t consider Su Yang to be significant, so he didn’t take him seriously.

Now that Su Yang was holding them accountable for this incident, he truly didn’t know how to respond. Huang Yang had definitely behaved inappropriately!

”Moreover, as far as I know, Huang Yang borrowed usurious loans to bet against us, wishing to share a piece of the Qingyun Clubhouse pie.” Su Yang looked coldly at Zhao Feipeng, ”Master Zhao, is this what you call helping us? Doesn’t this amount to kicking someone when they’re down?”

Zhao Feipeng looked at Huang Yang with an ashen face. Without this incident, they would not have been in such a passive position.

Huang Yang looked even more embarrassed; it wasn’t just about how much money he had lost, it was about how this incident made it much harder for them to leave smoothly.

”Master Su, it’s my failure to discipline properly,” Zhao Feipeng took a deep breath and said, ”I am willing to accept punishment!”

Su Yang looked at Zhao Feipeng, who, despite being rather protective and somewhat conceited, was indeed a model master. It wasn’t easy for someone to stand up and take responsibility for their disciple at a time like this.

”Since Master Zhao has said so, then I won’t pursue it further,” Su Yang stood up. ”You’ve come to help this time, and Ling Zi gave you eight million. Let’s use that money to set off the debt. How does that sound?”

Zhao Feipeng nodded slowly, ”Thank you, Master Su!”

Su Yang said nothing more, only giving Huang Yang a deep look and said, ”In the future, when you’re out, show some respect to girls. Don’t treat every pretty girl you see as a call girl. Today, I’m letting it slide for the sake of your master—otherwise, you’d be leaving your eyes behind!”

Huang Yang fell silent as a cicada in winter, not daring to say a word, utterly frightened.

Ling Zi didn’t even glance at Zhao Feipeng and the others, following Su Yang respectfully as they left. After this incident, he understood that the Su Yang in front of him was the truly invincible figure.

With such a person to back him, other figures like Master Zhao and Master Li weren’t important anymore; serving Su Yang well was what truly mattered!

As they entered the elevator, Ling Zi said cautiously, ”Young Master Su, if your sister’s company needs money, I still have over a dozen billion idle funds. What do you think...”

”No need!” Su Yang waved his hand. ”My sister’s company has just started; it doesn’t need that much money. A million would last a long time. But since these four dared to strike at us, they naturally need to be shaken up a bit. Otherwise, won’t all sorts of riffraff trample on us in the future?”

”Absolutely, Young Master Su is right!” Ling Zi nodded repeatedly, then said in a low voice, ”Actually, I think we shouldn’t have let those four go. Have their people bring the money to redeem them, and then we release them. Otherwise, once they leave, I doubt they will bring the money!”

”Really?” Su Yang chuckled. ”I feel differently. Why do I think they will bring the money in person?”

Ling Zi was stunned. He knew those four very well. Once they returned to their own turf, they were unlikely to come back and deliver the money. Su Yang’s confidence was something he somewhat doubted!

But Ling Zi said nothing. After all he had witnessed, he had come to realize, there wasn’t a single thing Su Yang claimed to do that he hadn’t accomplished.

Thus, the matter was really uncertain; perhaps those four would indeed bring the money in person.
