CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 18: BEATING

The woman screamed to draw attention from the people around, seeking their protection to escape.

People were already starting to gather around.

"You said you would hit me just now?!"

The woman glared, with everyone’s eyes on them, she didn’t believe Xiao Tian dared!

Xiao Tian gave a wicked smile, turned the woman around, and raised his hand high over her upturned backside.

"Slap!"

The woman was met with a crisp and pleasing smack!

Xiao Tian actually hit her!! The woman was momentarily stunned.

"You..."

Then, coming back to her senses, she was so furious she almost exploded, and a shrill scream rang out.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! You hooligan! Bastard! Let go of me! Let go of me!!!"

The woman screamed while flailing her arms and legs, trying hard to break free from Xiao Tian’s grasp.

Still rebellious, Xiao Tian chuckled wickedly again, and raised his hand for another slap.

"Slap!"

The woman was no match for Xiao Tian, she couldn’t escape his clutches.

"Bastard! Let go of me!!!"

"Slap!"

Once again, she was met with the crisp sound of a slap landing on her backside.

The woman felt a mix of anger and shame now, but knowing she really wasn’t a match for Xiao Tian, she didn’t dare to act so tough anymore.

"Stop... stop hitting."

Her tone began to soften, even though internally she was cursing Xiao Tian fiercely.

After crashing into her car, having such an arrogant attitude, how could Xiao Tian let go of her easily just because she said a word? Moreover, although the woman’s clothes looked a bit outdated, the feel when spanking her backside was surprisingly decent,

"Your plea for mercy is too half-hearted, not sincere! It can’t save your backside!"

"Slap!"

As he spoke, Xiao Tian gave another slap.

The woman realized she had provoked a real evil god, the sensation of pain mixed with tingling grew stronger, and her body trembled uncontrollably, biting her lip in frustration, the woman resentfully said.

"I admit defeat, stop hitting."

"No way, I don’t feel your sincerity."

"Slap!"

Dealing with troublesome Xiao Tian, the woman was going insane with anger: "Then what do you want? Do you really want to rape me!!!"

Xiao Tian was taken aback by her words, then smirked and said: "Let me rape you? In your dreams! I only rape beauties..."

He hadn’t even seen the woman’s face clearly yet.

But considering she was dressed like an old spinster, she couldn’t be that pretty.

First being called ma’am, then being called ugly, the woman was almost spitting blood from anger.

"Bastard! I’m beautiful!!"

Promoting herself so enthusiastically, could it be she really wanted him to rape her? Xiao Tian couldn’t help but think.

Such a passionate woman, how could he refuse her.

"Alright then, ma’am, turn around, let me take a look, if you’re pretty I’ll have you, if not, go home and wash up for bed."

With that, he turned the woman around to face him.

The woman’s black-rimmed glasses covered half her face, only showing a pair of fiery eyes glaring at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian reached to remove her glasses, revealing a delicate and exquisite face.

"Wow, ma’am, you really are a beauty!"

Since she’s a beauty, might as well take her.

"Come on, give me a kiss first."

"Hooligan! Get lost!!!"

The woman’s expression drastically changed, she struggled hard to break free from Xiao Tian’s hold, suppressing her fiery temper, she dared not confront Xiao Tian anymore.

She ran in a flash to her car, opened the car door, started the engine, completing a series of actions effortlessly, and as the car sped down the road, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew, finally got rid of that evil god,"

Turning to see the distance between her and Xiao Tian, she left a harsh remark.

"Hooligan bastard, just you wait!"

Xiao Tian chuckled wickedly, waving at her from afar.

"Beauty, you’re welcome to come find me."

......

The farce ended, and Xiao Tian got on the road.

While driving, Xiao Tian suddenly felt that the women he encountered recently were more exceptional than the last.

"Looks like my luck with women is getting stronger! A good omen! Haha!"

Xiao Tian touched his face, secretly pleased in his heart.

However, good as luck with women may be, serious matters still need attention.

The Changting Association! Aside from Ce Shi, it’s another big worry for Xiao Tian.

Thinking about the Junior Hall Master’s arrogant attempt to bribe and recruit him, Xiao Tian frowned.

This cancer of Shanghai should be dealt with now.

Thinking this, Xiao Tian took out his phone and dialed Bai Tao’s number again.

"Hello, Director Bai, it’s Xiao Tian."

"Ah, Xiao Tian, how are those people I arranged for you?" On the other side, Bai Tao thought Xiao Tian called because of the undercover operation.

"They’re fine," Xiao Tian said blandly, then got straight to the point, "Director Bai, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it? Go ahead." Xiao Tian’s tone was very serious, which made Bai Tao a bit curious — if it wasn’t about manpower, what could it be?

"I propose we eradicate the Changting Association!"

"What? You want to dismantle the Changting Association?!" Hearing Xiao Tian’s words, Bai Tao sat up straight on the other end of the call.

Speaking of the Changting Association, isn’t it a thorn in Bai Tao’s side too?

However, the Changting Association’s influence is deeply rooted in Shanghai, and both the higher-ups and himself avoid talking about it. Without foolproof policies and absolute certainty to uproot it cleanly, Bai Tao wasn’t ready to move on it; otherwise, it could backfire, potentially leading to mutual destruction!

Such a giant organization, yet Xiao Tian just casually suggested wiping it out!

That casual tone made it seem like, to Xiao Tian, dealing with it was as simple as eating or drinking!

On the other end, Bai Tao took a deep breath and asked earnestly.

"Xiao Tian, how confident are you?"

"Ninety percent! If full marks are ten, I leave one for humility." Xiao Tian replied with a slight smile.

Does this mean he’s completely confident?

Still talking about humility, when it’s plain in front of me, what humility! Bai Tao couldn’t help but mentally complain.

"Alright, since you say so, I fully support you!"

The proposal to rid them of the Changting Association tumor has been suggested by many passionate officers, but Bai Tao had rejected and harshly criticized them all, as the timing wasn’t right!

If it were anyone else, Bai Tao would have already scolded them away.

But Xiao Tian is different. Xiao Tian has a profound background and unparalleled, unpredictable abilities. With him around, Bai Tao’s confidence surged — the time has come!

"Then it’s settled, Director Bai. The day to remove your thorn is just around the corner. Just watch!"

How could Xiao Tian not understand Bai Tao’s thoughts? He had anticipated this even before calling. The purpose was just to hear this line from Bai Tao.

Actually, if Xiao Tian wanted, he could handle them alone. Such a minor power doesn’t even register in Xiao Tian’s eyes.

However, with Bai Tao’s support, Xiao Tian can proceed without worries, at least allowing Bai Tao to tidy up the rear is beneficial.

After hanging up, Bai Tao felt a faint anticipation mixed with a wry smile — this kid saw through him again! As the superior, he has no secrets before Xiao Tian, which is unnerving, though whether it’s good or bad, he doesn’t know.

......

On the road, Xiao Tian’s car had been driving smoothly and steadily, but after glancing at the rearview mirror, he suddenly pressed the accelerator and sped up.

A sports car in the left lane saw Xiao Tian’s car suddenly accelerate and also pressed the accelerator, seemingly following Xiao Tian deliberately.

Xiao Tian watched as the car appeared in the rearview mirror and frowned.

"Changting Association! Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!"

This sports car kept a distance, thinking they were discreetly tailing him. But as soon as Xiao Tian accelerated, they revealed themselves.

With Ce Shi in the hospital now, only the Changting Association could find him so quickly. Xiao Tian quickly deduced who they were.

Inside the trailing car, a man with a scar on his left cheek glared ominously at the driver, scolding.

"You idiot! You let him notice us!"

The driver, named Li Cheng, had an ugly expression after being scolded, but it was evident he feared the scarred man.

"Dong, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect he’d accelerate suddenly."

The scarred man was Hu Dong, one of the chief enforcers under the Changting Association’s leader. He had traveled to Thailand, becoming the disciple of a grandmaster-level Muay Thai expert.

After mastering Muay Thai, he returned to Shanghai, using his superb Muay Thai skills to challenge various masters from different schools, unbeaten and running rampant in the underworld.

His strikes were extremely vicious and ruthless. Anyone sparring with him rarely just got injured; they were mostly killed. In six months, he alone caused chaos and bloodshed across Shanghai.

Later, he offended a National Martial Arts Master from a reputable sect, was defeated, injured on his left cheek, and went into hiding. Eventually, he gained the Changting Association leader’s favor and was recruited.

Although Hu Dong once lost to a martial arts master, he remained favored under the leader, let alone his demonic disregard for life. If he were to be provoked into murder, Li Cheng could lose his life in an instant. Even after being scolded, Li Cheng didn’t dare make a sound, only apologized.

"Hmph! Just drive properly. Since we’ve been spotted, don’t lose him; otherwise, you’ll be in trouble."

Hu Dong snorted coldly. The leader sent him to kill, but he learned the target was just a small-time officer he had never heard of. To bother him personally for such a nobody, he was naturally dissatisfied.

But given it’s the leader’s order, Hu Dong dared not defy. He initially planned to follow to a location and take out this small officer the moment he got out of the car, but being detected early increased his dissatisfaction. If this little officer got scared and bolted, he’d have to chase, wasting more time.

"Dong, how about... we just ram him?" Li Cheng suddenly suggested.
