Chapter 313: Chapter 313

Gao Tianqi had been beaten by Chenyang before.

He knew full well that Chenyang was no pushover.

So, to get his revenge, he paid to find Brother Hu and his crew.

The enforcers within the Celestial Language Group were divided into three tiers.

The first tier consisted of those who had fought alongside the two founders to build the enterprise.

Some of these men had been mercenaries, while others were formally trained in martial arts. In the early years, they had all been hardened by countless life-and-death battles fought to expand their territory.

Initially, their ranks numbered in the dozens. After so many brutal fights, only about ten remained, and all of them had now become high-level executives in the Celestial Language Group.

The second tier consisted of those recruited along the way. Some had clawed their way up through the ranks, gradually entering the outer circle of the core group. Others were specifically scouted for their exceptional skills, such as a ruthless character from an underground fighting ring or a particularly formidable retired veteran.

Most of these individuals now managed the Celestial Language Group’s gray-area businesses, with many controlling entertainment venues like gambling dens and bars.

The third tier comprised the frontline enforcers.

These enforcers were mainly responsible for collecting debts and providing security. A portion of them, after receiving professional training, were stationed at the group’s subsidiary security company. Besides handling jobs arranged by the group, they were also hired out to other companies or individuals.

And Brother Hu was one of this third tier.

Having successfully managed two nightclubs for the group and flawlessly completed multiple assignments from the security company, he had gradually become one of the more prominent minor bosses within the third tier.

The men from the first two tiers were generally busy with major affairs and rarely appeared in public.

The third tier, however, operated out in the open. Thus, in addition to his respectable position within the group, Brother Hu had also become a fairly well-known figure on the streets over the past year.

Gao Tianqi was certain that a big shot like this—intimidating, famous, and skilled in combat—could easily help him get revenge on Chenyang.

He could even utterly crush Chenyang, forcing him to kneel and beg for mercy in the most pathetic state imaginable!

And so, when Brother Hu and his men appeared, the already arrogant Gao Tianqi became even more brazen. He struck a pose as if he were looking down his nose at everyone, his tone dripping with a contempt that made it clear he no longer considered Chenyang a threat.

What Gao Tianqi didn’t know, however, was that Chenyang wasn’t the least bit concerned about Brother Hu and his crew.

For one thing, Chenyang’s acquaintance in the Celestial Language Group held a position several times higher than Brother Hu’s. Given their relationship, a single phone call from Chenyang would have the man rushing over.

Furthermore, Chenyang had learned some martial arts from Ye Fuliling’s grandfather.

Although the old man had always insisted it was just ordinary self-defense, Chenyang had tested it in previous fights. With his current abilities, handling a dozen ordinary men was no problem. Against opponents who knew a little martial arts or had significant fighting experience, he could take down six or seven of them if he went all out.

As for genuine martial artists who weren’t exceptionally powerful, Chenyang was confident he could hold his own against two of them at once.

Brother Hu and his men looked burly, but based on Chenyang’s understanding of the hierarchy of experts within the Celestial Language Group, he figured they were only slightly stronger than the average person.

So, after Gao Tianqi finished gloating, Chenyang immediately laughed with contempt. "I’m not apologizing, and I’m not paying.

If you want to fight, hurry up. It’s getting late, don’t keep me from my sleep."

"Holy shit! Brother Hu and his men are standing right here, and you still dare to be this arrogant? Looks like you’ve never had a proper beating and have no idea what you’re up against!"

Gao Tianqi barked, then turned his head. "See that, Brother Hu? This kid has zero respect for you. So in a minute, don’t you dare hold back."

Brother Hu cracked his neck and gave a sinister grin. "He’s all talk. In a minute, my boys will smash his mouth in. We’ll see how tough he talks then."

"Yes, yes, yes! Smash his mouth, and then cripple the hand he hit me with." Gao Tianqi grinned in anticipation, slowly backing away to give them room to fight.

But as he reached the railing, he seemed to think of something and quickly added, "Brother Hu, by all means, beat him up, but remember not to knock him unconscious. My wife is coming soon, and I want her to get a good look at this bastard Chenyang’s pathetic, miserable state when he’s wailing and begging for mercy."
