Chapter 584 - 571: Remember Me, I Am a Good Person!
That smile bewildered Changmao and left Feige completely baffled.
"What’s going on?" Changmao blurted out.
"Wait!" Feige called out, his brow furrowed amidst the increasingly confusing situation.
At once, all four men in the seven-seater Jianghuai van stared tensely at the man walking toward the Beetle.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
Before Amber could open the door, Chen Tiansheng knocked on her window.
"Hey beautiful, this is our newly opened foot massage center. Interested in giving it a try? It’s just across the street!" he said with a sly smile, extending a flyer through the window as Amber lowered it.
At this point, Jiang Yino and the other two women had gotten out of their ride-share and entered the wholesale KTV.
"I’m not interested. Get lost," she said, her voice devoid of any emotion.
With that, Amber raised the window, turned off the engine, and pushed the door open.
"Wait, wait, beautiful! Our foot massage center is having a grand opening special. Come on, enjoy it! I guarantee you’ll experience a unique kind of comfort and pleasure!" Chen Tiansheng said, quickly stepping in front of her as she slammed the door.
"Can’t you understand me? I told you to get lost! Don’t make me do this the hard way!" Amber snapped, her voice filled with anger as she glanced at the seven-seater Jianghuai still stopped at the intersection.
At the same time, the fact that the Jianghuai hadn’t left made her wary of Chen Tiansheng. Could they be in on this together?
Just as the thought crossed her mind, Chen Tiansheng’s flippant voice rose again. "Oh, beautiful, are you offering to buy me a drink? Fantastic! Where are we going?"
SWOOSH!
Hearing this, Amber’s expression changed dramatically.
"Go drink in the Underworld!"
With a roar, she instantly curled her fingers into a claw. In a flash, she lunged, aiming for Chen Tiansheng’s throat.
"Whoa, now! Why the sudden violence? That’s not very ladylike, beautiful!" Chen Tiansheng exclaimed with exaggeration as he casually sidestepped her lethal attack.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Chen Tiansheng evade so effortlessly, Amber’s pupils dilated. I’m in deep trouble! I’ve run into someone extraordinary!
As her pupils widened, panic surged across her face. Holding nothing back, she fiercely shouted, "You’re courting death!" and her entire body shot into the air. Her knees aimed horrifically for Chen Tiansheng’s face while her calloused palms, raised high, chopped down toward the crown of his head.
In that instant, the Qi Force from a late-stage Dark Energy expert caused Chen Tiansheng’s clothes to billow.
"Dark Energy Peak? Not bad, but still a little lacking," Chen Tiansheng sneered playfully.
As he finished speaking, just as Amber’s assault was about to land, he thrust his palm out in front of his face.
BANG! A loud impact rang out.
Though his palm tingled, Chen Tiansheng didn’t move an inch. In that split second, his right hand shot out and seized Amber’s forearm just before her own palm could strike. Without pausing or giving her a chance to react, the hand gripping her forearm suddenly wrenched her off-balance as he slid backward in the same motion.
BOOM!
The next moment, Amber’s body was thrown heavily to the ground with a dull thud. Despite wielding the power of a Dark Energy Peak expert, she was utterly defenseless against Chen Tiansheng.
Amidst a cloud of dust and under countless stunned gazes, before Amber could even think to scramble up, Chen Tiansheng pounced like a lion on a rabbit. He landed astride her and pulled a long whip from his waistband.
"Damn it, who the hell are you?" Amber shouted, trembling as fear flooded her heart.
At the same time, she leveraged her position to arch her upper body, her fists striking out like twin dragons emerging from the sea, aimed directly at Chen Tiansheng’s temples.
Facing this strike, Chen Tiansheng merely smirked in disdain.
Leaning back slightly, he dodged her fists. As her attack missed, he flicked the whip in his hand with a circular flourish.
HISS! HISS! HISS!
Before Amber could retract her arms, the whip coiled around them. In the blink of an eye, her hands were completely bound.
"You asked who I am? I’ll tell you now. I’m a nice guy letting you watch the show of the year! That’s right, remember me. I’m the good guy! Haha!"
With an arrogant laugh, Chen Tiansheng displayed his freakish flexibility. Sitting on her legs, he twisted his torso a full ninety degrees, grabbed the other end of the whip, and quickly bound her feet.
"Don’t even think about resisting," he cooed, licking his lips with a sinister smile. "This is a Magic Artifact. A mere Dark Energy Peak expert like you could never break free. Be a good girl."
With that, Chen Tiansheng stood, ignoring the shocked stares of the onlookers. He lifted Amber from the ground and walked toward the Beetle.
"Help!"
"Help!"
"Yinuo, run!"
"Yinuo, run!"
"Yinuo, run!"
Struggling frantically against the unyielding whip, Amber screamed hysterically. However, hearing her cries, the crowd of bystanders didn’t dare to play the hero. Instead, they all retreated, letting Chen Tiansheng act with brazen lawlessness.
Unfazed by her screams, Chen Tiansheng nonchalantly pulled the car keys from her pocket, opened the door, and expertly tossed her into the cramped back seat.
He didn’t get into the driver’s seat right away. Instead, he turned his back to the seven-seater Jianghuai and made a beckoning gesture. The meaning was crystal clear.
Is he telling us to move?
While Feige and his three men stared in utter confusion, Chen Tiansheng calmly slid into the driver’s seat, started the Beetle, and sped away.
"Feige... F-Feige, what... what’s happening?" Changmao stammered from inside the Jianghuai.
"He knows about us! He’s on our side!" Feige said, his face trembling with shock.
"Feige, that gesture... what did it mean?" Erzi asked from the back seat, swallowing hard.
"He’s telling us to move," Feige gritted out, a crazed look flashing across his face.
"Move? You mean just walk in there and kidnap her in broad daylight? Shit! Isn’t that insane? Feige, didn’t you say no risks?" Erzi began to tremble as soon as he heard the word "move."
Kidnapping someone in this busy area? If they wore masks, they’d be branded as violent criminals in seconds. Without masks, their faces would be all over the surveillance footage. No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like a dead end.
As Erzi shouted in panic, Feige’s expression grew more grim, his jaw clenched tight. In the end, cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
He was torn. Three hundred thousand to risk getting a warrant for my arrest? Is it worth it? Definitely not. But the man in white has already spooked the mark. If we miss this chance, who knows how long we’ll have to wait for the next one?
"Feige, what’s the call? Just give the order, and I, Little Black, will lead the charge!" Little Black said fiercely from under his mask, not overthinking it like Erzi.
Feige didn’t respond. He pulled a few tissues from a box and wiped the sweat from his brow. His expression a complex mix of tension and resolve, he slowly pulled out his phone.
