Chen Nan flicked his cigarette and said dismissively, "Never mind where this is!"
"Today, you either kneel and apologize, leaving one of your arms behind."
"Or I cripple your limbs."
Li Chen's eyes widened. "Come, come, if you dare, try to touch me!"
"If you dare to touch me."
"I guarantee you won't leave the Azure Dragon Society alive."
The rules of the Azure Dragon Society were clear.
Since Chen Nan was a guest here.
He surely knew this.
This was why he was so confident.
Chen Nan walked forward and delivered a loud, resounding slap.
This slap directly bruised Li Chen's right cheek.
And stunned him.
Feeling the blood in his mouth, he finally came back to his senses, his eyes turning crimson. "What the hell, are you crazy? You actually dared to hit me?"
*Slap!*
Chen Nan raised his hand and slapped him again. He looked at Li Chen with satisfaction. "Hmm, now it's symmetrical!"
The scene was dead silent.
Wang Mengqi was also incredulous.
She never expected Chen Nan to hit someone in the club.
Li Yao's face turned grim. "Mr. Chen, please leave the club!"
"Second brother, are you crazy?" Li Chen's eyes bulged with rage. "It's not just about him hitting me; he violated the club's rules. You should have crippled his legs according to the rules!"
"Shut up!" Li Yao roared. "How I conduct myself is not for you to teach."
He then looked at Chen Nan again. "Mr. Chen, please leave the club!"
Although he also wanted to punish Chen Nan according to the club's rules.
But.
He dared not.
Because he knew.
The head manager and the second manager held Chen Nan in high regard.
If they were to visit the club and coincidentally learn Chen Nan was there, they would immediately go to toast him.
Although he had inquired about Chen Nan's identity before.
Those two had told him not to pry into things he shouldn't know.
Therefore.
Even though Chen Nan had broken the rules and hit someone today.
He didn't dare to use the club's rules against Chen Nan.
Although this would mean he was violating the club's rules.
But...
It was his elder brother who was beaten.
As long as they on their side didn't say anything, would this still be considered a rule violation?
"Manager Li, this is between your brother and me. You shouldn't interfere!" Chen Nan took a puff of his cigarette. "He has committed many evils and must be severely punished today."
Li Yao said politely, "Mr. Chen, please don't make things difficult for me."
"Violators of the rules must be severely punished." At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit, with his hands in his pockets and a cigar in his mouth, walked in.
His eyes were arrogant, and a playful smile played on his lips. "Li Yao, you can clock out. I'll handle this matter."
Li Yao's expression changed. "Manager Zhao, although this happened in the club, it is also a family matter. How it is handled is up to me."
Zhao Quan was also a manager at the club.
He was ranked sixth among the nine managers.
Moreover.
He knew Zhao Quan had some grievances with Chen Nan.
This dated back two years.
Two years ago, Chen Nan brought a group of beauties to the club.
Coincidentally, Zhao Quan had had a few drinks with a guest and then encountered one of those beauties.
Mistaking her for a courtesan.
He made a few teasing remarks.
When Chen Nan found out, he invited Zhao Quan to a room and made him apologize.
Although Zhao Quan apologized.
Their animosity was sealed.
Every time Zhao Quan saw Chen Nan, his eyes held hatred.
However.
Even though Zhao Quan was a manager at the club.
He couldn't casually provoke guests.
Otherwise, if the head and second managers held him accountable, he would pay a heavy price.
And now.
If he were allowed to intervene in this matter, he would surely use it as an opportunity to target Chen Nan.
Although his brother had been beaten by Chen Nan.
To be fair.
It was indeed time for someone to teach him a lesson.
Before Zhao Quan could speak, Li Chen's voice rang out, his face filled with anger. "Second brother, I can't believe you're siding with outsiders!"
"It's not just that this bastard hit me; you're ignoring the Azure Dragon Society's rules?"
"Do you still want to keep your job?"
He then looked at Zhao Quan and said, "Manager Zhao, as a member of the club, I have been physically assaulted within the premises. I request the club to help me get justice."
Hearing this.
Zhao Quan grinned. He looked at Chen Nan, a cold glint in his eyes. "Mr. Chen, you are also a member of the club. You should know the club's rules, right?"
"Don't blame me, Zhao, for not giving you face. After all, violating the rules comes with a price."
"Considering you are a member of the club, I can give you a choice."
"Do you want to keep your legs, or your arms?"
As he said this.
A group of fierce-looking thugs approached from a distance.
They were robust and muscular, their powerful physiques evident beneath their black suits.
Chen Nan flicked the ash from his cigarette and asked nonchalantly, "What if I choose neither?"
"Then I'll choose both for you." Zhao Quan's gaze sharpened, and he directly ordered, "Criple his four limbs and let him know the consequences of violating club rules!"
Li Yao quickly said, "Manager Zhao, Mr. Chen is a friend of the head and second managers. Are you really going to do this?"
Zhao Quan sneered. "I am merely following regulations. Even if the head and second managers came, what could they do?"
"Let alone them, even the elusive Chairman couldn't do anything to me, right?"
"You know in your heart whether you are following regulations or not." Li Yao's face was gloomy. "You're just using this opportunity to cause trouble for Mr. Chen!"
With the situation as it was, Zhao Quan no longer concealed his inner thoughts, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "A fly doesn't land on a seamless egg. If he hadn't violated the club's rules, how would I dare to cause trouble for him?"
"Li Yao, I advise you not to interfere."
"Otherwise, I don't mind informing the head and second managers about today's events."
He then gestured to the group of thugs in the distance and shouted, "What are you dawdling for? Criple Mr. Chen's limbs!"
"Yes!"
The thugs immediately surrounded Chen Nan.
Then they launched a fierce attack.
Seeing this.
Li Chen burst into laughter. "Chen, I want to see if you can survive this!"
Chen Nan's combat prowess was formidable.
In an instant, he repelled several middle-aged men.
However.
In Li Chen's eyes.
Even if Chen Nan had the strength to hold off a thousand men alone.
He would pay a heavy price for daring to act within the club.
In less than half a minute, the club's thugs were spitting blood and lying on the ground.
At the same time.
A meaningful smile appeared on Li Yao's face.
He took off his suit and tossed it aside, then rolled up his sleeves. "Your strength is surprisingly formidable. I thought those women would have drained you."
"However."
"No matter how strong you are, you will have to face the consequences today."
With that said.
He lunged at Chen Nan, his fist, as large as a sandbag, striking out.
A faint whistling sound accompanied the punch.
Li Yao gasped in shock. "You've actually reached the Grandmaster realm?"
"Manager Zhao has actually reached the Grandmaster realm?" Li Chen's eyes were filled with horror, followed by joy.
Zhao Quan's strength was so immense.
How could Chen Nan possibly stand a chance?
But before he could recover, he saw Chen Nan raise his hand.
*Slap!*
Accompanied by a crisp slap.
Zhao Quan was sent flying like a fly, under the astonished gazes of everyone present...
