Chapter 703: Chapter 703

But for a martial artist like Fang Bai, money is just a number with no great use. Fang Bai calculated yesterday that the wealth he currently possesses, when converted to Huaxia Currency, has already exceeded ten billion. He could never spend all this money by himself, so it might as well be put to use to save many more impoverished people.

Qian Haoduo said, "Brother Fang, since you’re preparing to set up a charity foundation, you’d surely need to do some publicity, organize some events, and expand the foundation’s fame, right? That’s how you attract more attention from all sectors of Huaxia and get more people to Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! I’m not very familiar with this area and plan to get a few friends to plan it in a couple of days, and then find a few trustworthy people to manage it for me!"

Hua Tianhe said, "With the reputation you have now, Brother Fang, when the time comes, all you need to do is make a high call, and our entire Huaxia medical community will surely respond in kind!"

Qian Haoduo said, "On the day the charity foundation is established, Brother Fang, you must let us know! At that time, Brother Hua and I will bring people to Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! As for donating and providing free medical services, we will also do so without hesitation!"

Fang Bai bowed his hands in thanks and said, "If so, I am very grateful to both elder brothers!"

Two days later, in the morning, Fang Bai followed the address provided by Niu Ben and walked towards his home.

The place where Niu Ben and his mother lived was an urban village located not far from the city center. Surrounded by high-rise buildings, nearly a hundred households living in this urban village had been unable to reach an agreement with the developers, which is why the development had been put on hold until now.

As Fang Bai entered the urban village, he saw low-rise tiled houses or bungalows that dated back decades, and on the outer walls of each house, there were large "demolish" characters painted in red. Some houses had already been demolished, leaving only ruins.

Some distance from Niu Ben’s home, Fang Bai noticed that many people were gathered around Niu Ben’s house; moreover, there were several large machines like excavators and bulldozers present.

Drawing closer, he could hear a violent argument, shouting, and crying.

Fang Bai’s brow furrowed as a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Because his divine sense scanned the area, he found that Niu Ben was being beaten by several strong men, while Niu Ben’s mother was being blocked by two strong men, watching helplessly as her son was being beaten, and crying out in distress.

Although Niu Ben was rolling on the ground from the beating, he remained defiant, continuously cursing out loud.

Among the crowd of onlookers, some were associated with the strong men, and others were residents of the urban village. A few were Niu Ben’s neighbors who originally wanted to step forward to mediate but were intimidated by the glaring of the strong men and retreated.

The bulldozers and excavators had already started moving, demolishing Niu Ben’s house. In a moment, a wall had completely collapsed.

Seeing her home destroyed, Niu Ben’s mother’s eyes filled with despair and her crying became even more heartbreaking.

Just then, a young man in his mid-twenties, surrounded by several strong men, gave a "tsk" of disdain, pushed aside the two strong men in front of him, and walked over to Niu Ben’s mother, saying in a sinister tone, "The entire urban village has signed the agreement, only you and your son have stubbornly refused to sign... Heh heh, do you think I’m easy to bully?"

As he spoke, he unfolded a copy of the agreement and handed a pen to Niu Ben’s mother at the same time, in a threatening tone, "If you want your son to stop being beaten, sign this agreement! Otherwise... if your son ends up disabled or something, there’s nothing that can be done..."

Seeing her son beaten black and blue, Niu Ben’s mother, heartbroken, took the agreement and pen from the young man with tears streaming down her face, ready to sign her name.

Niu Ben didn’t know where the strength came from, but he bellowed, rose from the ground, forcefully pushed away a burly man who was beating him, and rushed to his mother’s side. He grabbed the agreement and tore it to shreds.

"You... seeking death! Beat him! Beat him hard!"

The young man was furious and pointed at Niu Ben, barking loudly.

Several sturdy men surrounded Niu Ben again, ready to lay into him.

"Shen Huanian, you’ve got some nerve!"

A stern shout came from the onlooking crowd, followed by Fang Bai walking in with a gloomy face, parting the crowd.

The young man was none other than Shen Huanian from the Anxi branch of the Shen Family. By leveraging his family connections, he had secured the development rights to this urban village. He used threats and intimidation to get most of the villagers to sign the agreement, but Niu Ben and his mother refused because the compensation was not fair. This had led to Shen Huanian sending men to their door to threaten them repeatedly, resulting in the earlier altercation.

Last time, Shen Huanian collaborated with Li Dongyang from the Donghai Li Family in fabricating a product quality incident involving the Beauty Company, only to be publicly exposed by Fang Bai. The incident caused a huge commotion in Huaxia, and while Li Dongyang faced widespread scorn, Shen Huanian was left red-faced, taking quite a while to emerge from the shadow of that event.

Action on top of that, Fang Bai had "snatched" Tang Wenrou, the woman Shen Huanian was in love with, as well as "hogging" Xia Chenyu, Shen Huanian’s half-sister from a different mother. All these things had made Shen Huanian harbor deep hatred toward Fang Bai.

If you asked who Shen Huanian hated the most, feared the most, and least wanted to see right now, it would definitely be Fang Bai.

Yet Shen Huanian could have never imagined that, as if cursed with an ancient grudge against Fang Bai, he would run into him here. Truly, his luck was terrible.

Fang Bai saw that although Niu Ben had been beaten to a bruised and swollen face, these were just superficial injuries; he knew it was because Niu Ben possessed an Innate Earth Spirit Root.

Martial Artists with an Earth Spirit Root naturally have thick skin and strong resistance to beating. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have been knocked out long ago.

Fang Bai strode over to Shen Huanian and said in a deep voice, "Shen Huanian, you’re causing trouble again! It seems like you lack discipline. Today, I’ll discipline you on behalf of your parents!"

"Fang Bai, what do you think you’re doing?"

Shen Huanian, knowing Fang Bai’s formidable skills, turned pale, backed up a few steps, and hid behind two bodyguards dressed in black.

The two bodyguards, specifically assigned to Shen Huanian by the Shen Family, were Martial Artists who had reached Yellow Level Perfection. With them standing in front, Shen Huanian felt much more at ease.

"What am I doing? However you beat my disciple, I’ll beat you back tenfold!"

Fang Bai didn’t stop his steps and kept advancing toward Shen Huanian.

Fang Bai was always protective of his own people. By attacking his disciple, Shen Huanian had touched his sore spot and would face his harsh retaliation.

"Master, I’ll help you!"

Although Niu Ben was in pain all over, he clenched his fists, an excited look in his eyes, and followed closely behind Fang Bai.
