Chapter 504: Chapter 504
"It's been a long time since I had a physical confrontation with anyone. At my level, I often don't need to do it myself, but seeing you today, I must admit I'm a bit anxious to try. I really want to experience it firsthand."
Li Zhen said this while taking off his shirt, revealing a muscular physique.
For someone over forty, this body was impressive. Many men, after turning 30, start becoming oily middle-aged men — pot-bellied, bald, and out of breath after a few steps...
Li Zhen seemed to have no such troubles; his body was as strong as a spry young man of 20.
The crowd gasped in amazement.
"Brother Zhen is truly Brother Zhen, so strong!"
"Oh my, he's so manly."
"This is how a middle-aged man should be, every man should aspire to be like him."
Many women blushed and their hearts raced.
Especially among the club's staff, it was their first time seeing the boss's muscles; the boss was truly formidable.
It's said that when Li Zhen was young, he was a master who carved out his own realm with his fists. In the underground world of Yun City, no one dared to challenge him, not even Mountain Chicken, known for his fierceness and fearlessness, would back off when seeing Li Zhen.
It was surprising that, even after all these years, Li Zhen remained so strong, commanding respect.
"Brother Zhen personally stepping in, this time, those two are in trouble!"
The crowd couldn't help but think.
Lin Fan and Anna were really impressive, having taken down four of Li Zhen's captains in succession, but now that Li Zhen himself was involved, things would be different.
Hearing the crowd's cheers, Li Zhen couldn't help feeling proud. In fact, he was quite proud of himself.
All these years, although he hadn't fought, he made sure to keep himself at peak condition.
"Which one of you two wants to spar with me first?" Li Zhen glanced at Lin Fan and Anna.
Before Lin Fan could speak, Anna dashed forward.
Saying nothing, she started the fight directly!
This woman was so cool; a slight smile appeared on Lin Fan's lips as he found himself liking Anna more and more.
He seemed to understand why the system wanted him to recruit Anna; she would undoubtedly become a great assistant to him.
Li Zhen was also not expecting this woman to be so fierce. More importantly, she was exceptionally beautiful. It's rare to find a woman who is both beautiful and skilled in combat; normally, women skilled in fighting would build up muscle, often stronger than most men, like female boxers.
Anna was different; she looked tall and slender, with a figure no worse than runway models, yet she was also very skilled in combat. It was a mystery how she honed these skills.
However, Li Zhen didn't believe Anna was a match for him.
Nothing more to it, Anna was still just a woman, and in Li Zhen's concept, he had no reason to lose to a woman.
In an instant, their fists clashed.
Anna threw a total of three punches.
The first punch made Li Zhen stagger back three steps.
The second punch brought a look of astonishment to Li Zhen's face.
The third punch sent Li Zhen sprawling backward on the ground.
Anna's moves were swift and decisive; she knelt on one knee, pressing Li Zhen's neck with her knee, raising her fist, and striking down.
This fourth punch was aimed right at Li Zhen's nose.
"That's enough, traditional kung fu is about knowing when to stop," Lin Fan suddenly said.
Anna's fist halted right at the tip of Li Zhen's nose.
If she had struck, she would definitely have broken Li Zhen's nose.
He was defeated, unexpectedly, just like that, with only three punches!
Everyone was stunned, incredulous. What the hell, Brother Zhen couldn't withstand three punches from Anna? Had they not seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it!
But the fact was right in front of them; Li Zhen was truly defeated, utterly and completely.
Inside Li Zhen, a storm was raging: "How is this possible, how could I lose, even though I haven't fought in a long time, I've been training and my condition is still at its peak, how could I lose to a woman!"
"Why are you so strong?" Li Zhen couldn't help but ask.
Anna's expression was cold, seemingly uninterested in answering such a trivial question. Chapters fırst released on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
Li Zhen couldn't help but chuckle bitterly: "You really are impressive. Alright, I underestimated you. Had I known, I would have fought him first, maybe I could have won a round."
Li Zhen said, looking at Lin Fan.
Anna said coolly, "If you fought him, you'd die even quicker."
Li Zhen's words prompted even the usually indifferent Anna to retort. This Li Zhen, having never seen the world, actually thought she was stronger than Lin Fan.
Li Zhen was taken aback: "What do you mean, he's stronger than you? Really, by how much?"
Anna released Li Zhen, stood up, and a hint of admiration appeared on her face: "He could defeat you with just one finger, in one instant."
Li Zhen was shocked: "What?"
What the hell, Lin Fan was really that powerful, was he even human? He had trained all his life, thinking he was already a rare expert, but if what Anna said was true, wasn't he training for nothing; facing Lin Fan, he was like a school kid.
Li Zhen then laughed, understanding that Lin Fan couldn't be that powerful, as there's no one that strong in this world.
Anna must have exaggerated.
Yes, that must be it, it was the only logical explanation.
Anna paid no mind to Li Zhen's laughter; she didn't care if Li Zhen believed it or not, she knew it was true.
Li Zhen chuckled: "I admit you're good at fighting, I respect that. But I want to know, what is your purpose in coming here, who sent you?"
Li Zhen didn't believe Lin Fan just happened to pass by and intervened only because he encountered two of his subordinates doing wrong.
He thought of Mountain Chicken and the Wei Family from Jiangnan; could it be that the two of them were sent by the Wei Family to humble him?
The Wei Family from Jiangnan had extended their reach into Yun City's underground, attempting to unify it. According to what Li Zhen knew, some big names had already bowed to the Wei Family.
There was no other way; the Wei Family, with their 350 billion worth Wangu Group, bearing the title of Jiangnan's richest, was too powerful and intimidating.
But Li Zhen refused to bow to the Wei Family. As a significant figure in Yun City's underground, Li Zhen's stance greatly influenced the Wei Family's plans. If Li Zhen would bow, things would be much easier for the Wei Family.
So with Lin Fan and Anna's arrival, Li Zhen first thought they were the Wei Family's experts.
"Even if you defeat me, I would never bow my head to you. You think you can make me submit to the Wei Family? Dream on!" Li Zhen snorted coldly.
Anna frowned: "What are you talking about?"
Of course, Anna had no idea what Li Zhen was talking about; she wasn't part of the Wei Family and was unaware of the recent developments in the underground.
Lin Fan suddenly exclaimed: "The Wei Family? Do you think we are from the Jiangnan Wei Family?"
