Chapter 482: Chapter 482

"Boss Song, if you want to cause trouble, the least you could do is let me know what’s going on," Li Changlin looked calmly at the gangsters, none of whom were presentable.

Even though two of them were at the Initial Stage of Mingjin, Li Changlin didn’t take any of them seriously.

"A few days ago, at the antiques market, you sold me a piece of rough stone," said Song Haonan, unable to hide his contempt as he saw Li Changlin feigning ignorance. "There wasn’t a single hair inside that stone, and yet you fucking charged me three million!"

"So that’s what this is about?" Li Changlin realized, suddenly remembering the incident.

The corner of Li Changlin’s mouth tilted slightly as he thought of it and said lightly, "Boss Song, if I recall correctly, you threatened me and forced me to sell you the stone."

"Bah, if you had told me the jade stone was empty, do you think I would’ve forced you to sell it to me!" Song Haonan really had no shame.

Although three million wasn’t a big deal for him, Song Haonan indeed lost face that day.

Thinking of this, anger surged through Song Haonan’s heart.

"Boss Song, I don’t like hearing such words. Not to say I didn’t know whether there was jade inside the stone, but even if I knew and had told you, would you have believed me?" Li Changlin’s face showed a mocking smile, knowing that with Song Haonan’s self-righteous nature, he would definitely want to break the stone to verify, regardless of what Li Changlin said.

"What you’re saying now is false. Li Changlin, I’ll give you one chance to return the three million to me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite!" Song Haonan’s face twitched, and he instantly became fierce.

He had started with fighting and killing, and he certainly was no match for Li Changlin when it came to verbal sparring.

"Boss Song, you’re really good at calculating. If there had been a precious jade stone worth tens of millions, I wonder if you’d return it to me," Li Changlin’s expression darkened as he coldly looked at Song Haonan.

This guy was a true hooligan, threatening him out loud, which was utterly ridiculous.

"Not returning it, huh? If you don’t, I’ll cripple you!" Realizing Li Changlin’s stance, Song Haonan’s eyes hardened and he gave his men a signal, "Attack, cripple him!"

Immediately, his subordinates obeyed, swinging iron bars and pipes, advancing menacingly towards Li Changlin.

"Song Haonan, since you’ve decided to get physical, you’ll have no right to regret it later," Li Changlin cracked his neck; he had taken enough flak all afternoon. Now that Song Haonan was keen on sending people to vent his frustration, there was no reason for Li Changlin to hesitate.

"Hahaha, did this dumbass get scared stupid?"

"He even tells Boss Song not to regret it. He must be crazy."

The dozen or so thugs burst into arrogant laughter after hearing Li Changlin’s words.

A man without a weapon warning their boss not to regret his actions seemed like a joke to them.

Having been part of the underworld, living on the edge of the knife, they didn’t entertain the thought of regret.

To them, Li Changlin’s words were just the funniest joke in the world!

Paying no mind to Li Changlin’s words and not taking him seriously,

Someone finally grew angry. With a loud shout, they charged forward, swinging an iron bar viciously towards Li Changlin’s head.

The attack was swift like the wind and a sneak attack. Had it been an ordinary person, one strike would likely have done the trick, knocking them out cold.

But Li Changlin was no ordinary person.

A sharp glint in his eyes, Li Changlin stood his ground.

Just as the iron baton was about to reach his head, Li Changlin finally made his move.

He suddenly lifted his left hand, opened his fingers wide, and grasped the iron bar.

"Looking for death." The iron bar caught by Li Changlin, the attacker’s face turned pale, and exerting force on his hands, he tried to snatch the iron bar back.

However, how could Li Changlin possibly give him the chance.

Grabbing the iron rod with one hand, as soon as the other person exerted force, he too pulled back.

Instantly, the other person involuntarily charged towards Li Changlin’s body.

"Nonsensical!" Li Changlin let out a cold laugh, his figure shifted slightly to dodge the incoming body.

Following that, Li Changlin spread his fingers and released the iron rod.

Then, he lifted his left foot and kicked the other person’s buttocks!

A cry of surprise escaped the man’s mouth, his body lurched forward, and then, with a face-plant, he crashed heavily to the ground.

The thud, combined with his companion’s piercing screams, startled everyone.

For a moment, everyone stopped in their tracks, then looked towards Li Changlin with wary faces.

"Come on, weren’t you acting all arrogant!" Li Changlin sneered, raising his hand in a provocative gesture.

"You mongrel, don’t get cocky, watch how I take care of you!" Li Changlin’s words and actions completely enraged someone.

This was an expert in the Initial Stage of Mingjin, with a focused glare, he stepped forward.

Then, with a loud shout, he stomped powerfully on the ground, and his body instantly seemed to transform into a Fierce Tiger leaping at its prey, lunging towards Li Changlin.

He swung his fist, aiming a vicious blow at Li Changlin’s face.

"Brother Ming is mighty, finish him off!"

"Haha, once Brother Ming makes a move, he’ll sort out this scum within minutes."

"Heh heh, look at how cocky you are, kid. Congratulations on finally successful in angering Brother Ming."

This Brother Ming, he must be a minor leader within Song Haonan’s forces.

At this moment, his face bore a savage grin, and his eyes sparkled with excited fervor. Brother Ming knew that his punch would surely blossom the face of the youngster before him.

He was an expert who had cultivated Mingjin and was not at all comparable to the earlier small-time thug.

Coldly eyeing Li Changlin, he seemed as if he could already see Li Changlin’s facial bones shattering.

However, things didn’t go as he had hoped.

Li Changlin, without so much as moving, watched as the fist came at him. Only then did he slowly extend his right hand, fingers spread apart, and grabbed the incoming fist.

"How is that possible."

"Heavens, what am I seeing!"

At this moment, the whole place fell silent, everyone was staring at Li Changlin in horror.

His right hand slowly tightened, his fingers clamping down on Brother Ming’s fist. Brother Ming didn’t even have the strength to resist.
