Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 191 - Zhong Huan

Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Zhong Huan

The big yellow dog became furious.

It was already menacing, yet these people dared to threaten it? Did they not take it seriously at all?

I’ll bite!

The big yellow dog adjusted its angle and bit down hard once more.

“Oh!” The leader, who had been puffing himself up like a bow just now, suddenly curled up like a cooked shrimp, his face deathly pale as he let out a feeble moan from his nose.

The other ruffians, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Because the big yellow dog had its teeth clamped firmly on their boss’s lifeline.

With such a fierce bite, even if it wasn’t completely severed, it probably was hanging on by just a thread of skin and would be unusable.

The big yellow dog turned its head to look at those ruffians, and instantly, every one of them turned pale and broke into a cold sweat.

This was fucking terrifying.

Without Shi Hao needing to say anything more, someone immediately brought out the stolen Elixirs exactly as they had been taken.

“Return them the way you took them,” Shi Hao said indifferently, “Everything must go back to how it was. I’ll give you half an hour, if you can’t do it—”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the big yellow dog grinned, showing its gleaming white teeth.

“Yes, yes, yes.” The ruffians were all squeezing their legs together as they hurriedly ran off.

Those who needed to deliver goods did so, and those who needed to find craftsmen did so, making sure everything was settled within half an hour.

When Shi Hao strolled back leisurely, indeed, everything had been restored to its original state.

“Young master, can we go now?” A group of ruffians looked at Shi Hao with pitiable eyes.

“Kneel at the door for one night,” Shi Hao said, turning to enter the inner court.

These ruffians looked at each other, kneeling reluctantly at the entrance of the pharmacy, a dark mass of them.

It was a row of shops, and the people were shocked to see the ruffians who usually bullied them and extorted protection fees kneeling there, but at the same time, they felt relieved.

Those bloodsuckers, after all, had robbed them of at least half their income; it was about time they were dealt with properly.

With the big yellow dog in charge of keeping watch, as long as it sat there, who would dare even think of slipping away?

For the big yellow dog, this greatly satisfied its vanity, making it feel as if it was back at Starwind Academy, when it dominated the garbage dump, those days of glory.

Meanwhile.

“Brother Zhong, you must stand up for me!” The leader who had been bitten by the big yellow dog managed a simple bandaging and went to his boss to complain.

Zhong Huan was also a ruffian, but he was particularly lucky because he had a beautiful and persuasive sister who married into the Lu Family as a concubine.

Even though Lu Xiu wasn’t an important person in the Lu Family, having the surname “Lu” was enough to carry weight in Sanyuan City.

Thus, relying on the connection to Lu Xiu, Zhong Huan was like a king in the surrounding area, extorting protection fees and running gambling rings, doing whatever made money.

“Someone dared not to pay protection fees and even beat you guys up?” Zhong Huan snorted, “They’ve got nerve. I want to see who dares disrespect me, Zhong Huan!”

He snapped his fingers, “Xiao Hei, come with me.”

Immediately, a lean and dark teenager stood up, silently following behind him.

When Zhong Huan moved, he did too, but the boy stayed entirely in Zhong Huan’s shadow, radiating an aura of sheer oddness.

The injured leader followed behind, determined to witness Shi Hao beaten to a sorry state, especially intent on crippling Shi Hao’s lifeline, to take revenge for himself.

—Why was it that, even though it was the big yellow dog that bit him, he directed his hatred towards Shi Hao?

Was he supposed to bite back at the big yellow dog?

Before long, they arrived outside the pharmacy.

Seeing a mass of underlings kneeling at the entrance, Zhong Huan’s face darkened instantaneously, and he let out a soft snort.

The gang leader hurried outside, shouting loudly, “What are you still kneeling for, get up for me now!”

But no one dared to move.

Previously, some had thought to slip away, but that big yellow dog that seemed to be sleeping had pounced the moment someone did, biting viciously at their crotch—and look, now they’re still lying on the ground.

So, without permission, they dared not make a move.

Seeing that his orders were not being followed, the gang leader’s face turned ugly, and he hurriedly started to berate them again.

But no matter how much he scolded, not a single person paid him any attention.

Zhong Huan felt humiliated.

Look, so many neighbors were watching. If he couldn’t get Shi Hao under control today, then someone might dare not to pay protection money tomorrow, and the day after, there would be rebels.

“Brother Zhong, it was that dog!” the gang leader pointed at the big yellow dog, his voice filled with both fresh anger and old resentment.

Zhong Huan was astonished; this was just an ordinary big yellow dog that could be seen everywhere on the streets, yet it had single-handedly subdued so many ruffians?

“Xiao Hei!” He turned his head and called out to the youth behind him.

The slender, sallow-skinned youth immediately stood out and walked towards the big yellow dog.

Watching the young man approach, the big yellow dog actually felt a chill, an instinctive alertness.

This youth… was extremely dangerous!

The big yellow dog was no hero.

Back in the trash pile of Starwind Academy, it bullied those that were easy to bully and circumvented those that were not, slippery as could be.

So, since it felt the youth was dangerous, it didn’t care whether it could win in a fight or not; it immediately turned and ran, vanishing in an instant.

This!

The slack-jawed ruffians looked towards where the big yellow dog had disappeared, collectively stunned.

Was this the same formidable and arrogant mongrel from before?

How come it was now running away with its tail between its legs?

You are really too good at bullying the meek and fearing the harsh.

“Get up!” the gang leader shouted again.

“Who dares!” A voice came from inside the drugstore, not loud, but filled with deterrent power.

Shi Hao walked out.

The slender and dark-skinned youth looked towards Shi Hao, his eyes which seemed not fully awake suddenly burst with astonishing light, becoming lively and bright.

“Brother Zhong, it’s this kid!” the gang leader pointed at Shi Hao.

Zhong Huan nodded, “This is my turf, if you want to do business here, you must follow my rules. Now, you have one last chance, kneel down and apologize immediately, I might consider letting you off.”

He had to establish this authority, otherwise, how could he control the crowd?

Shi Hao, however, was looking at the sallow youth. To him, the youth felt like a sword drawn from its sheath, piercing and painful to the eyes.

Interesting, no wonder he had scared away the big yellow dog, that creature prone to bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

In fact, this person was only at the Nine Extremes level. If it really came to a fight, he’d be no match for the big yellow dog, but his aura was so fierce, he had actually intimidated the big yellow dog.

Zhong Huan’s face became even uglier. Shi Hao hadn’t bowed to him and his subordinates’ subordinates were still lined up, kneeling on the ground; every passing minute was like another slap on his face.

“Xiao Hei, take him down!” he coldly ordered.

“Yes.” The slender and dark-skinned youth showed a hint of excitement as he strode towards Shi Hao, his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

It was a bamboo sword, without a scabbard, just tied to his waist.

So when he drew his sword, there was no “clang” sound. With the bamboo sword in hand, he seemed like a completely different person, his edge fully revealed.
