Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 17

Hong Ming lost his nerve as he stood watching by the side, because the scene was simply too gory for him.

Clumps of hair, torn right from the scalp, exposed the raw, fleshy skin underneath.

And with every yank, Lu Kun would quiver and moan in pain.

Xue An was unnaturally composed throughout the entire ordeal. For him, it was no different than pulling out weeds.

After the deed was done, Xue An brushed his hands off and nodded in satisfaction.

“This looks much better now!”

At that moment, all the onlookers instinctively backed away, especially Hong Ming, whose legs couldn’t stop trembling. As Xue An cast him a glance, he automatically took another step back.

“Stay… Stay away from me. You’re done for. Lu Kun is Brother Fan’s subordinate. He’ll never forgive you!” said Hong Ming, his confidence surging at the mention of Du Fan.

“After all this ruckus, he should be here any minute now!” Hong Ming deduced.

At that very instant, the unruly clatter of footsteps echoed from the hallway, followed by an angry man’s voice. “Which one of you was it? How dare you lay a finger on my henchman?”

Then a man of burly proportions with a menacing gaze barged in with his goons.

Du Fan was the man in charge of the Dragon Emperor Tower. It was his turf.

He seldom got his hands dirty. After all, his name was enough to rein in most customers, and whenever there were drunks who became too rowdy, it was Lu Kun who took care of things.

In other words, Du Fan’s job was to drink and party every day.

But that day…

While he was having a few drinks with his friends, he received a phone call asking him to come down. He was told that there was trouble at the hotel and Lu Kun had been beaten up!

Naturally, Du Fan was furious upon hearing the news, so he rushed to the scene along with a few security guards.

When Hong Ming saw that Du Fan had arrived, his eyes lit up immediately.

Du Fan was one of the most powerful man in Southern City. Even his father had to kowtow to him whenever they met.

Hence, Hong Ming was thrilled to see him. “Xue An, Brother Fan’s here. Let’s see how cocky you are in front of him!” he gloated to Xue An.

As for Lu Kun, he crawled his way to Du Fan’s feet with tears in his eyes as soon as he saw him.

Du Fan was shocked to see the pathetic state that Lu Kun was in—hairless, with his scalp stained red by blood, like the head of a duck that had been de-feathered.

“Brother… Fan, please avenge me! That b*stard pulled out all my hair!” said Lu Kun after someone had popped his jaw back into place.

Du Fan was infuriated. Lu Kun was his henchman who had served him for many years. Having him pushed around by an outsider was a blow to Du Fan’s reputation and ego.

“Don’t worry. I’m going to skin this guy alive and make him pay for what he’s done to you!” Du Fan said in a murderous tone.

Lu Kun nodded as he sobbed like a little boy.

Du Fan lifted his head and said coldly, “Which one of you was it? Stand up, now!”

Silence filled the room.

“What’s the matter? Don’t have the guts to admit it?” said Du Fan, sneering.

At that moment, Hong Ming chimed in enthusiastically. “Brother Fan, it was that b*stard who did it! We all saw it!”

Du Fan glanced at him, then stood still for a moment.

Xue An looked at Du Fan with an air of indifference, his hands clasped behind his back. “So you’re Du Fan?”

Du Fan could feel a chill running down his spine. There was something about the man’s bravado that was very unsettling.

He’d only seen such boldness in one other man before, and even that man hadn’t evoked such an intense feeling.

Du Fan nodded. “Yes, that is my name.”

As soon as the words left Du Fan’s mouth, Xue An charged towards him and threw him a punch with all his might.

However, Du Fan’s reaction was equally quick. He took a step back and avoided Xue An’s blow.

Xue An’s fists grazed Du Fan’s nose before striking the wall behind him.

With a loud bang, the entire wall was wrecked.

Du Fan stared in horror amid the smoke and dust and hollered, “You misunderstand! It’s all a misunderstanding!”

But Xue An was in no mood to listen to his excuses. Dealing with idiots like him the entire evening had taken a toll on Xue An’s patience.

Who cared who he was? Who cared if he was the boss? He would still kill him!

It was called survival of the fittest.

Just then, a tall, muscular hulk arrived at the scene. Immediately after seeing him, Du Fan’s eyes lit up, as if the man was his savior.

“Brother Black, save me!”

When the muscular man saw Xue An, his expression changed abruptly, but in the heat of the moment, he charged at Xue An.

At the same time, Xue An threw a punch at him.

The muscular man reacted just in time. He anchored his legs firmly to the ground, channeled all his energy to his right fist, and launched it straight at Xue An’s knuckles.

Xue An looked like he was about to laugh.

There was a loud bang.

The jarring noise caused everyone’s hearts to skip a beat.

After that, the muscular man stumbled back a few steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When Du Fan had first seen the muscular man, he thought he would win for sure, but now, Du Fan was so frightened he almost wet his pants.

Not even this titan could defeat Xue An?

But then the muscular man wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly. “Mr. Xue, thank you for sparing me!”

Only he knew that Xue An had gone easy on him just now, or else he wouldn’t have even been standing there.

Xue An retracted his fist. “What are you doing here?” he asked coolly.

It turned out that the muscular man was Qin Yuan’s personal bodyguard, Mr. Black!

“The Dragon Emperor Tower is one of the Longtai Group’s businesses,” Mr. Black said with an awkward smile.

Xue An nodded. “Is Qin Yuan here?”

Mr. Black shook his head. “Old Master is attending to company matters.”

As Du Fan listened to their conversation, his body broke out in a cold sweat.

Who was he?

Why did Brother Black address him as Mr. Xue?

And why had he called Old Master by his name?

Du Fan may have made a name for himself in the streets, but in reality, he was but one of many lackeys working for the Longtai Group.

Du Fan had to be respectful towards Qin Yuan’s bodyguards, not to mention Qin Yuan himself, because he was aware that his status was a joke compared to the Qins.

As for Hong Ming, he was lost for words and pale as a ghost.

Of course, he knew who Mr. Black was and how much clout he had within the Longtai Group.

Even he treated Xue An with such reverence, which meant that Xue An had to be someone important!

“But Mistress said she’s coming over. She should be here any minute now!” exclaimed Mr. Black.

As soon as he said those words, Qin Yu walked in with a stern and icy demeanor.

Du Fan felt a shudder in his body and gave a deep bow immediately. “Mistress!”

Qin Yu walked straight towards Xue An without even looking at him.

“Mr. Xue.”

Hong Ming was devasted when he heard her addressing Xue An as “Mr. Xue.”

He recognized Qin Yu, having seen her once from afar when he attended an elite party with his parents.

In any case, he’d only seen her but had never had the pleasure to speak with her.

To him, Qin Yu was like a star in the sky—desirable but forever out of his reach.

He finally understood. All the things he’d been so proud of had meant nothing to Xue An.

No wonder he had seemed so at ease from the very beginning. Apparently… he didn’t even care!

Xue An nodded.

Qin Yu looked at the mess around her with a frown on her face. “What happened here?” she asked calmly.

Du Fan’s forehead broke out in a sweat. He stammered as he tried to explain himself.

As for Lu Kun, he had long passed out in fright.
