Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Must Agree Even If You Don’t Want To_1

Zhang Xian knew that Li Likai was waiting for reinforcements. He had intentionally given Li Likai time to think to lure his reinforcements into a trap.

He knew he needed to put the rebellious Li Likai in his place, scare him into obedience.

Now that Lingxiao Villa was nearing completion, he was in dire need of security forces. With a faction at hand, how could he let this opportunity pass?

Despite Buckteeth Zhou having a number of henchmen, they were low-level street thugs, unfit for security work. When it comes to raw strength, these hoodlums were no match for ex-soldiers, sparing him a great deal of trouble.

In no time, many security guards arrived, adding up to around 70 to 80 people.

Spying his reinforcements, Li Likai smirked unnervingly.

To confront Zhang Xian, he risked pulling back half of the security forces from the territories they were assigned to guard. With so many men present, he wanted to see how Zhang Xian would continue with his brazen display.

Zhang Xian’s gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Li Likai, asking, "Are all your people here yet? Is it enough?"

Li Likai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xian said, "I mean, have all your people arrived yet? Is it enough? If not everyone is here or if it’s still not enough, I can wait some more. You can call as many people as you have."

"Hmph, you’re so confident?" Li Likai let out a cold, relentless laugh, deeming Zhang Xian as overconfident.

He knew that all the security guards from Lekai Security Company were elites. Their dominance in the security industry of Tiandu was not a fluke. He had poured resources into building an intimidating force - more than 90% of the security guards in the company were veterans, some even top-notch fighters. With so many skilled fighters, what did Zhang Xian’s group of men count for? What were they even worth?

Zhang Xian chuckled, "You also seem to be very confident, almost sure you have this in the bag already. Given that, have you given thought to our previous discussion?"

"Hmph! I’m not talking about business matters with you right now. Let’s settle the score for my son first," Li Likai coldly demanded. "The first time my son got beat up, I perhaps overlooked it, thinking it was no big deal. But the second time you dare lay a hand on my son, are you treating us like pushovers, thinking you can trample on us however you please? What do you even take yourself for?"

Zhang Xian casually wiped his nose, saying, "You’re absolutely right. I do treat you like pushovers."

"Kid, are you trying to provoke me into taking action?" Li Likai fumed, "Before I take action, I advise you to give me a proper explanation."

Zhang Xian shook his head, "I won’t explain."

"Damn, you..." Li Likai was so infuriated by Zhang Xian’s relaxed demeanor that he nearly blew his top.

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, he abruptly waved his hand, shouting "Damn it, all of you, get him and beat that bastard to death."

The security guards were also irked by Zhang Xian’s arrogance. Ready to pounce, they were eager for action. At Li Likai’s command, they dashed out, like wild horses with the reins let loose.

"Damn, let’s move, beat him to death, maim him, make him regret." Buckteeth Zhou was not to be left behind and charged ahead.

At the words, his followers, fists at the ready, charged at the security guards. Despite knowing that their numerical advantage couldn’t make up for the lack of strength, they didn’t hesitate at all.

Zhang Xian was sitting in his car and didn’t initially plan to get out.

But seeing Buckteeth Zhou and his gang quickly losing ground, Zhang Xian could no longer stand by. He flung the car door open and raced out.

Instead of joining the fray, he headed straight for Li Likai.

While he wasn’t afraid of these security personnel, going for the leader would be the most efficient move. It made sense to apprehend Li Likai instead of investing the effort to fight off nearly a hundred security guards.

"Damn it, stop that guy." Li Likai saw Zhang Xian rushing towards him at an alarming speed which sent him retreating in fear and bellowing loudly.

At his command, several security guards turned around and charged at Zhang Xian.

"You think you can stop me? Dreaming in broad daylight?" Zhang Xian scoffed dismissively. His pace didn’t falter in the slightest; he sent anyone who dared to approach flying.

The security guards charging towards Zhang Xian hardly knew what hit them, only feeling a sudden acute pain in their abdomens before they were sent flying.

"Damn, this guy is skilled."

"Hell, how is this guy so fast? I can’t even see his moves clearly."

The other guards were equally terrified. Seeing that Zhang Xian was almost upon Li Likai, they gritted their teeth and charged forward, unable to fall behind.

"Bang...bang..."

Zhang Xian flashed from one spot to another, with just a punch and a kick, two more guards were sent flying.

"Stop him, quick, stop him."

Seeing this play out, Li Likai was clearly rattled.

As the boss of Lekai Security Company, although he was not martial arts-trained himself, he was still able to approximate Zhang Xian’s abilities.

Leaving all else aside, the speed that Zhang Xian exhibited alone was enough to negate all of the guards from his company. All of the guards couldn’t stop this man’s advance, even though they attacked together.

"Damn it, where do you think you’re going?"

A security guard, who considered himself pretty capable, rushed towards Zhang Xian. His right hand turned into a claw, intending to seize Zhang Xian’s shoulder.

"Huh? This guy is quite fast, can be considered a tough guy."

Zhang Xian turned back for a glance, suddenly shrugged his shoulder, breaking free from the guard’s grip. Subsequently, he kicked the guard who ended up flying several meters away, knocking over several other guards who were fighting.

Then, without any hesitation, he stomped his foot, increasing his speed once more, and quickly approached Li Likai.

"Damn, is this guy even human?" Frightened, Li Likai turned pale and dashed towards his company building.

Zhang Xian moved swiftly and grabbed Li Likai’s neck, asking, "Where do you plan to run to? We haven’t finished our conversation yet, why are you running?"

Li Likai swallowed hard, and said, "Brother, let’s discuss this reasonably, don’t be impulsive, please don’t."

"Now you want to negotiate with me? Not going to bully me anymore?" Zhang Xian gave a cold smile, lifted Li Likai up, and said, "Quickly, order your guards to stop."

Without any delay, Li Likai yelled, "Stop, all of you, stop."

Upon hearing this, the security guards stopped.

Most of them had witnessed the fight just now. Compared to Li Likai, they were more aware of how powerful Zhang Xian was.

Without Zhang Xian, they might not take Buckteeth Zhou and others seriously. But with this expert here, if they continued to fight, they would undoubtedly lose. Nobody could stop Zhang Xian.

Seeing everyone had stopped, Zhang Xian chuckled and asked, "President Li, have you decided yet?"

Li Likai forced a smile and said, "Brother, to be honest, you’re being unfair! If we’re doing business, you should at least leave us some breathing room, right?"

Zhang Xian shook his head, "There’s no room for negotiation on this. You just need to answer yes or no. If you agree, we can partner, if you disagree, I’ll dismantle your security company."

"Um...brother..." The comment left Li Likai really frustrated.

What does this guy mean? Is this what you call negotiating? There isn’t even room for choice, what the hell are we negotiating? Even a bandit wouldn’t be this ruthless!

The hand of Zhang Xian that was gripping Li Likai’s neck suddenly tightened. He asked, "So? Have you made up your mind yet? Or should I go and have your company smashed up right now?"

"Cough cough..." Li Likai coughed rapidly and hastily said, "Bro...Brother, how many guards do you want? As long as it’s not too many, I can supply them at no profit to myself."

"No, no, no, I’ve already changed my mind."

Zhang Xian extended his left hand, shaking his forefinger, "Originally, I was only planning to take half of your guards and let you make some extra money. But seeing your arrogance, and your dishonest attitude, I’m not satisfied. So now, I want them all. Of course, as long as you perform well, you will definitely profit. If you don’t perform, then it can’t be helped."

Li Likai was shocked, "Bro...Brother, you...you want all the guards from my entire company? All the guards?"

"That’s right, all the guards." Zhang Xian nodded and looked at Li Likai with a smile, "So? Do you have a problem with that? Don’t you agree? Should we negotiate more?"

Seeing Zhang Xian’s weird smile, Li Likai hurriedly shook his head, "No...no more negotiation, whatever you say, I agree."

"Good, at least you’re sensible." Zhang Xian let go of Li Likai, "Whenever you make up your mind, you can bring your men to Lingxiao Mountain Manor, we’ll arrange work for you all. We’ll discuss the details then. But, let me remind you, you only have ten days to think it over. If you don’t show up after this time, I’ll come and find you."

Li Likai nodded repeatedly without showing the slightest arrogance.

To him, not to mention anything else, it wouldn’t be a hard thing for Zhang Xian with his capabilities to take him down.

"Hmm, work hard, maybe you won’t regret today’s decision." Zhang Xian patted Li Likai on the shoulder, turned around and walked out, "Buckteeth Zhou, let’s go."

Li Likai watched as Zhang Xian and the others left, almost plopping down on the ground. His fine company, just like that, was gone!

At this moment, he was itching to rush to the hospital to beat up Li Hai. What sort of creature had that damned little bastard offended? Someone who could clean them up in a matter of minutes.

"President Li, are we just going to give in?" A security guard stepped forward and asked, "What if he asks us to do something strange, what do we do?"

Li Likai said, "I’m not sure yet about what needs to be done, let’s find out that guy’s background first. With his skills, he can’t be a common figure."

The guard asked, "President Li, what if that guy doesn’t have a significant background?"

Li Likai smirked, "If he doesn’t have a significant background, we’ll find a way to deal with him. Our Lekai Security Company is not that easy to mess with."

The guard nodded, "I’ll go investigate right now."

After watching the guard leave, and sending the remaining guards away, Li Likai, with a gloomy face, walked back into his company.

He was the leading figure in TianDu City’s security industry, and he had been taken down by a nobody. He couldn’t swallow his pride, he needed to find a way to get revenge.
