Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

"You're not going pay?!" The blonde guy growled, his glared fixed on Chen Xiaobei. "I'll make sure that your business here is inoperable if you still refuse!"

"Are you sure?" Chen Xiaobei returned his gaze, ready to slap that arrogant face any moment. However, Wu Junfan pulled him away.

"Xiaobei! Your temper is horrible! Things are going to turn bad for both sides if a fight breaks out!" Wu Junfan said softly.

"My temper's bad? And you want me to speak politely and rationally with that son of a bitch?" Chen Xiaobei rolled his eyes.

"I'm not asking you to speak nicely, but you really shouldn't beat him up!" Wu Junfan shot back. "There is a way to deal with people like this! Watch and learn! I don't want others to take advantage of you in the future!"

"Um, alright… I'll stand beside and watch how you deal with him!"

"Blondie boss! You better not get in over your head!" Wu Junfan approached the ruffian. "The shops are a gift from the Wu Family to my friend here! Mr. Chen is both my brother and a benefactor! In other words, you will get on my family's nerve if you choose to go against Mr. Chen! And I can promise things won't end well for you if my family decides to stop you!"

It appears that his statement could work; mentioning his family name was indeed a wise move to avoid further conflict!

"Hehe… Of course! I know I won't survive if we're up against your family!" The blonde guy replied. "However, we won't be able to feed ourselves if we don't do that! All my brothers need that money to survive every single day!"

People die for money, birds die for food!

Those gangsters became agitated as soon as they heard that their monthly income might be affected. All of them glared at Wu Junfan, as if prepared to butcher an entire family if one of the members blocked their path to riches.

The air became awkward instead just because Wu Junfan tried showing off his way of dealing with their sort; the bunch of hoodlums was simply not cooperating!

"Fine! We shall see! I want to know how you guys are going to stop us from doing business here?" Wu Junfan frowned.

"Hehe… We have many creative methods to shut down businesses!" The man folded his arms and replied arrogantly. "I could splash your shop with red paint, mixed with shit and pee. I could start a small fire that just stops short of burning down your shop! Or maybe I could poison your fruits from time to time as well... Damn! I think there's just too many methods to ruin your business! Or are you going to guard this place twenty-four hours every single day?"

"You bastard! Aren't you afraid that I'm going to call the police?" Wu Junfan seethed. 

"Afraid? Afraid my ass! The police will hold me at the detention center for a few days at most, and then I will return when they release me! Bite me!"

"I…" Wu Junfan was unable to respond.

"There's a saying; offend the boss, not the followers!" The blonde guy laughed. "Master Wu, I advise you not to mess with us! We will both be very happy if you'd just pay us!"

"I…" Wu Junfan's face was turning green in frustration.

"Stop! Let me do the talking now! Watch!" Chen Xiaobei walked towards Wu and said chipperly. "Do the same next time when you meet another bunch of hoodlums!"

"Asshole! Please don't act tough! Let me see what you can do!" The blonde guy yelled haughtily.

*Slap! *

A loud slap echoed. The blonde guy kissed the ground before spitting a mouthful of blood when he opened up his mouth, followed by his teeth.

"My goodness… It's impossible for me to learn what you're doing right now…" Wu Junfan was stunned.

"Little blonde guy! From today onwards, you will send me two hundred thousand as protection fees every month, or you won't be able to live in Green Vine City anymore!" Chen Xiaobei said coldly.

"Motherf*cker! Who do you think you are? How dare you collect protection fees from the Black Tiger Gang! Brothers, beat him up! Cripple him!" The blonde guy screamed hysterically while covering his face.

A dozen of the hoodlums surrounded Chen Xiaobei at the blondie's command. All of them bore a vicious glare as they prepared hand him a beating!

"Bunch of thrash! I'll show you who I really am!" Chen Xiaobei readied his palm and charged at the person up front.

*Slap! *

Another sonorous slap and one of the ruffians was sent flying to the road, his face completely swollen. The excruciating pain had him rolling around on the tar, and he was down for the count!

"Son of a bitch! You're too cocky! Nobody is allowed to beat up the Black Tiger Gang just like that!" The rest of the gangsters charged at Chen Xiaobei without a moment's hesitation.

"What? You guys are from Black Tiger Gang? Xiaobei! Stop fighting! We will be in deep shit if we go against them!"

"Black Tiger Gang? Hehe…" Chen Xiaobei laughed condescendingly.

The Black Tiger Gang was terrifying to most of the people at Green Vine City. However, Chen Xiaobei knew that Fire Boss controlled most of the gang, except for the factions that reside at the east side of the city.

Chen Xiaobei could destroy all of them with a single phone call! In other words, the life and death of the hoodlums he was fighting were in his hands all along – they were sealing their own doom!

*Thud!*

Chen Xiaobei landed a punch on the gangster's chest that stood nearest to him, smashing his rib cage. He then jumped into the air and kicked the faces of another two hoodlums with both legs. Their noses bled, and they were out of the game.

The rest of them were shocked to witness the manner in which Chen Xiaobei dispatched their comrades. However, he did not wait for them to react or think; he was in combat mode, prepared to destroy them to the last man.

"Listen carefully! You have one hour to send two hundred thousand to me! You would bear the consequences otherwise!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and declared triumphantly.

The hoodlums were both in pain and extreme frustration – this was the first time someone demanded protection fees from them! And two hundred thousand on top of that! They never expected that kind of astronomical figure.

"Blondie boss! What are we going to do?" A gangster with a swollen face asked.

"Is there a need to ask! We will retreat and call for more people! This kid is so arrogant, he has the balls to cause trouble in our domain! Does he really think he could mess with the Black Tiger Gang? I'll show him the color of his own blood!" The blonde guy said furiously as the gangsters helped each other up and fled the scene.

"Xiaobei! Let's go now! We are going to get in trouble if they send more people here!" Wu Junfan said nervously.

"Hehe…" Chen Xiaobei smiled. He had everything under control.
