CHAPTER 1186: CHAPTER 793: MYSTERY

"Looking for trouble!" Liu Hun glared at the two security guards in front of him, a sharp glint in his eyes. Since the soft approach didn’t work, Wang Xiaofei didn’t mind using a harder method; Liu Hun didn’t oppose Wang Xiaofei’s actions either. The old man really was a bit over the line, so Liu Hun didn’t mind teaching him a lesson.

The moment Wang Xiaofei finished speaking, the two security guards immediately pulled out their electric batons from their waists, but before they could raise them, they felt a sudden pain in their chests. The next moment, their bodies flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Although Wang Xiaofei was very angry just now, he was also aware of the limits. These two punches were merely meant to cause them pain for a while, without causing any real harm to their bodies.

Seeing Wang Xiaofei instantly subdue the two security guards he had hired at great cost, a look of surprise flashed across Wang Dafu’s face, but there was no trace of fear.

"Old man, you only have one choice now. I will refund the money to you, but the marriage with Xiao Tong is off!" Wang Xiaofei stared coldly at Wang Dafu in front of him, speaking with a chilling tone.

However, upon realizing Wang Xiaofei’s words, a cold glint suddenly appeared in Wang Dafu’s eyes, and he replied icily, "I already said, since I made this decision, I won’t change my mind at all. Do you really think that I, Wang Dafu, am that easy to bully?"

As Wang Dafu’s words just fell, an old man slowly walked out from the courtyard inside. The old man was bent over and dressed in extremely plain clothes. Yet, even so, at the moment he appeared, both Liu Hun and Wang Xiaofei were somewhat shocked.

This old man, in every respect, looked no different from an ordinary rural elder. If there was any difference, it was probably that the rustic clothes he wore were relatively clean.

The old man walked step by step to the front of the crowd, then raised his wrinkled face, and glanced plainly at Liu Hun and Wang Xiaofei with his cloudy eyes.

"Bullying ordinary people like this is really not good." As Liu Hun and Wang Xiaofei felt a bit shocked, the old man slowly spoke to them.

"Senior, we just want to break the engagement, not intentionally cause trouble. It’s just that Uncle Wang is unwilling, but in this day and age, there’s no forced transaction..." Liu Hun stepped forward slowly, speaking seriously to the old man in front of Wang Xiaofei.

"I don’t care about right or wrong; I only know that if anyone dares to harm the old master or the young master, I will not let them go. If you have nothing else, then go back." The old man’s cloudy eyes still showed no emotion as he calmly spoke to Liu Hun and Wang Xiaofei.

Although the old man in front of them appeared calm, his words made people extremely angry. In the old man’s eyes, only their master could bully others, but others were not allowed to bully their master.

At this moment, Wang Xiaofei became a bit angry and said, "Only allowed to bully others, not allowed to be bullied by others. What kind of logic is that? I want to see how powerful you really are, old man!"

As soon as Wang Xiaofei finished speaking, he swung his fist fiercely toward the old man’s face. Whether it was Wang Xiaofei or Liu Hun, they could clearly perceive the unusual aura from the old man the moment he appeared.

This aura was definitely that of a cultivator, and the old man’s strength was absolutely not weak. However, just how powerful he was, Liu Hun and Wang Xiaofei couldn’t determine unless the old man made a move.

Just as Wang Xiaofei threw a punch, the next moment, when his fist was about to hit the old man’s face, Wang Xiaofei suddenly felt as if his fist was clamped by iron tongs, unable to move an inch.

Looking at the old man’s shriveled arm, lightly opening his palm and holding Wang Xiaofei’s fist, in that instant, Wang Xiaofei’s face turned extremely grim.

He never expected the old man in front of him to be so terrifying in strength, where even he was not a match at all, and the other could easily defeat him.

"Stop, Xiaofei!" Seeing this scene, Liu Hun couldn’t help but sternly say.

Following Liu Hun’s words, Wang Xiaofei gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Hun, saying, "Boss, I..."

"I said stop!" Liu Hun’s eyes slightly narrowed, then said strongly to Wang Xiaofei.

Seeing Liu Hun’s expression, Wang Xiaofei was full of frustration. At this moment, the old man slowly released Wang Xiaofei’s fist, gently lowering his hands, and his demeanor suddenly switched back to that of a hunchbacked old man.

"Senior, isn’t what you’re doing a bit of bullying?" After seeing the old man let go of Wang Xiaofei, Liu Hun stepped forward two steps, looking at the old man with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"As I said, anyone looking to trouble the old master, I won’t allow it. If you have no other business, you should go back." The old man remained expressionless and spoke calmly in response to Liu Hun’s words.

Hearing the old man’s words, Liu Hun let out a cold laugh and then took a few steps forward, smiling lightly, "Then I would like to learn about senior’s strength."

After speaking, Liu Hun’s form suddenly moved, instantly rushing toward the old man in front of him. Liu Hun moved so fast that Guan Xiaotong and Wang Dafu couldn’t even see their figures, only faint shadows in the air.

At this moment, Guan Xiaotong’s face was full of shock, realizing that none of the people present—whether it was Wang Dafu, Liu Hun, or Wang Xiaofei—were ordinary. What’s more, it was because of her that this situation occurred.

Within a few breaths’ time, Liu Hun and the old man exchanged nearly a hundred moves, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"Boom!" As everyone was still in shock, suddenly a booming sound emerged from the air. Following the sound, everyone’s gaze fell on Liu Hun and the old man, their fists colliding and stopping in mid-air.

It seemed as if time had stopped at that moment, Liu Hun and the old man stared at each other, a hint of seriousness in their eyes.

At this moment, the power within Liu Hun was like a waterfall, crazily rushing into the other’s body. Externally, Liu Hun could do nothing to him, but in a real life-and-death battle, no one could predict the outcome. However, this was not a life-and-death battle, so neither side used their full strength.

As Liu Hun’s power furiously poured into the other’s body, so did the old man’s power. All they wanted was to compete and determine victory through power.

Otherwise, if both used their full strength, neither Wang Dafu nor Guan Xiaotong in the scene would survive, an outcome neither wanted to see.

"Boom..." After less than a minute, their fists collided again, producing a muffled sound. With the sound’s rise, both sides retreated several steps.

Once they steadied themselves, both Liu Hun and the old man had a serious expression, knowing that Liu Hun’s current strength had reached the peak of the Innate Eighth Layer. In such a realm, even against an Innate Nine Layers powerhouse, he had a chance to fight and possibly win.

But now, confronted with this seemingly ordinary old man, Liu Hun could not defeat him. Their strengths were so closely matched, and Liu Hun could sense that the old man’s strength was only at the peak of the Innate Eighth Layer as well.

By logic, within the same level of strength, Liu Hun should essentially be undefeated, but this time an exception appeared.

"Stop!" As the two were in their confrontation, a man about thirty years old, dressed in a clean casual outfit, walked out from the courtyard, calmly speaking to Liu Hun and the old man.

"Young Master." Upon seeing this man, the old man respectfully called out to him.

"My name is Wang Gui, and you must be the renowned chairman of Tianhe Company, Chairman Liu Hun?" Upon Wang Gui’s appearance, a few smiles appeared on his refined face as he addressed Liu Hun with a light laugh.

After Wang Gui’s initial words, he glanced at Wang Xiaofei and Guan Xiaotong, continuing, "This one must be Xiao Tong, and that should be your boyfriend. This is all a misunderstanding. If you all don’t mind, you are welcome to come in for a cup of tea and slowly discuss this matter. Rest assured, we are reasonable people. I apologize on behalf of my father for what has happened earlier. If there’s any offense, I hope Chairman Liu can be understanding."

Faced with Wang Gui’s warmth and politeness, Wang Xiaofei, Guan Xiaotong, and Liu Hun were momentarily at a loss for words.

Only Wang Dafu, who previously felt some animosity towards Liu Hun and his group, opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, shook his head and said to Wang Gui, "You handle this, I want to go for a walk."
