Chapter 924: Chapter 924

Security captain Xu Jin's gaze turned icy, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

A chilling murderous intent instantly enveloped everyone present, making their hearts shudder involuntarily.

"You two, go over there and cripple him." Xu Jin ordered coldly.

"Yes!" Two mid-level Yunhai Realm experts each grabbed rubber clubs and charged toward Lin Chen.

Watching the scene, Wu Fei's face twisted, as if he could already see Lin Chen's limbs broken and his pathetic state.

However, within seconds, shock was plastered all over everyone's faces.

The two security guards had only approached Lin Chen, their rubber clubs yet to swing down, when two muffled thuds sounded. Two figures were already sent flying back, landing heavily in front of Xu Jin.

"How is that possible? Those two security guards are Yunhai Realm experts!" The onlookers' faces froze, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Xu Jin's expression shifted slightly, his gaze betraying an uncontrollable fear.

Just now, he hadn't even seen Lin Chen move a foot, yet the two security guards had already been kicked away.

"You four, go together. Don't hold back, make sure you cripple him!" Xu Jin's face twisted with malice as he yelled at the four similar-looking bodyguards behind him.

These four security guards were mid-level Yunhai Realm experts, and as siblings, their teamwork was seamless. Together, they could even challenge a Shenmai Realm expert.

Four icy voices rang out as the four guards darted toward Lin Chen from four directions like lightning.

Their coordination was tight, almost completely sealing off all angles of Lin Chen's movement.

Lin Chen's gaze turned cold. Watching their attacks, a contemptuous smile curved his lips.

"Sigh, I'm not one to enjoy fighting, but you just had to come looking for trouble."

Lin Chen pursed his lips, feigning innocence. Yet his body blurred into a streak of shadow, instantly appearing in front of the four men, delivering a rapid series of kicks.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

In the blink of an eye, the four brothers, all mid-level Yunhai Realm experts, were sent flying by Lin Chen. Many onlookers didn't even catch what had happened and only saw the four men writhing on the ground in pain.

Xu Jin stared at the fallen four, deeply startled by Lin Chen's overwhelming strength. A heavy seriousness surfaced in his eyes.

But as the security captain, Xu Jin knew that, despite the opponent's formidable power, if he didn't act, his position could very well be at risk.

Xu Jin pushed off the ground with his foot, his body shooting toward Lin Chen like an arrow.

Suddenly, a commanding voice filled with authority rang out from the door. A middle-aged man strode in quickly.

The newcomer was none other than Zhang Lan, the mayor of Zhonghai City.

Moments earlier, Zhang Lan had returned to his private room and mentioned to his father that he had encountered Lin Chen. Zhang Lao had been overjoyed and intended to personally visit Lin Chen to offer a toast of gratitude. But upon stepping out, he stumbled upon the scene of Lin Chen clashing with Xu Jin.

Seeing his benefactor being attacked by Xu Jin, Zhang Lao immediately urged Zhang Lan to intervene.

However, Zhang Lan arrived a few seconds late. By the time he shouted, Xu Jin's fist was already flying toward Lin Chen's chest.

Xu Jin was wielding the Vajra Fist, a signature skill from Dragon Tiger Mountain. His strike carried a roaring momentum and thunderous force, capable of splitting a boulder in two.

Facing a formidable foe, Xu Jin dared not hold back and directly utilized his ultimate technique.

As Xu Jin's powerful blow landed on Lin Chen's chest, a devilish smile curved Lin Chen's lips. Yet his face betrayed no trace of fear. He likewise threw a punch, meeting Xu Jin's head-on.

Xu Jin felt an intense force surge into his body. He groaned and staggered backward repeatedly.

Xu Jin's entire right arm nearly felt broken, his face twisted with pain.

Zhang Lan, Manager Guo, Wang Ning, and Wu Fei all stared dumbfounded at Xu Jin being sent reeling back by a single punch.

Xu Jin was a high-level Yunhai Realm expert, yet even with his full-force strike, Lin Chen stood like an unmovable boulder, while he himself was forced back several meters.

"Are you a Shenmai Realm expert?"

Xu Jin looked at Lin Chen in shock, an uncontrollable tremor flashing in his eyes.

Lin Chen chuckled coldly. "Not bad, your punch packs some power. Let's go again."

"I'm no match for you!" Xu Jin immediately shook his head upon hearing Lin Chen's challenge.

The earlier clash had clearly demonstrated the gap between him and Lin Chen. He could also feel that Lin Chen was holding back. If he pushed further, it'd only result in humiliation.

At this moment, Zhang Lan rushed over, quickly examining Lin Chen. "Lin Chen, are you alright?"

"Mayor Zhang, why are you here?" Lin Chen asked.

"My father wanted to personally toast you to thank you for saving his life. We didn't expect to see you in a fight when we got here." Zhang Lan answered.

At this moment, Zhang Lao walked over with a smile. "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to be a martial arts master as well!"

As Zhang Lao and Zhang Lan approached, Manager Guo's face shifted dramatically.

These two men—one the mayor of Zhonghai City—were heavyweight figures indeed.

"Mayor Zhang, Secretary Zhang, good evening!" Manager Guo quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead and stepped up to greet them.

Zhang Lan's gaze sharpened slightly. "Manager Guo, Lin Chen is a savior of our Zhang family. What's the meaning of this?"

"Mayor Zhang, this gentleman broke the hotel rules and injured our guests. We must detain him, otherwise we won't be able to answer to higher authorities." Manager Guo responded awkwardly.

"Did I break the hotel's rules? That man tried to commit despicable acts toward my girlfriend. I was merely teaching him a lesson," Lin Chen said flatly.

Zhang Lan quickly grasped the general situation, his expression darkening.

"Wu Fei, didn't you learn your lesson last time? It seems I shouldn't have spared your father; I should've had you locked up for a few years!"

Wu Fei was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that this seemingly unimpressive young man would turn out to be friends with Mayor Zhang.

"Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lin." Zhang Lan commanded coldly.

"I—!" Wu Fei felt utterly humiliated. Not only had he been beaten, but now he had to apologize. How could Wu Er Shao show his face in Zhonghai after this?

Zhang Lan snorted coldly. "Fine, you refuse to respect me? Think carefully about the consequences…"

"Mayor Zhang, no, I'll apologize right away." Wu Fei's complexion shifted.

Wu Fei reluctantly approached Lin Chen, his face strained with dissatisfaction. "Mr. Lin, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."

Watching the renowned Wu Da Shao bow his head to Lin Chen, all the other young elites present were dumbstruck. Wang Ning, in particular, was left gaping in sheer disbelief.
