The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1679 - 1678: I Support You

"No, I think your choice of words earlier wasn't quite accurate. It's not that I am fighting against all of you; it's more like I alone am completely thrashing all of you!"After finishing speaking, Tang Rao started punching and kicking this group of people. It's said that one shouldn't hit the face, but he specifically targeted the most conspicuous areas.

The fourth batch of people was beaten by Tang Rao, and they were lamenting incessantly. Although he hit them badly, he didn't take a single life.

"If you're smart, stand properly and let me tie you up voluntarily. If you're not, then try to stir things up; anyway, I've already killed two people, and I wouldn't mind sending a couple more to accompany them on their journey to the afterlife!"

Tang Rao said that, and who would dare to act recklessly at this moment?

Although they were already beaten to the point of struggling to stand, they showed tough resilience and stood there until Tang Rao tied them all up.

These people's faces were grinning, but inside they were swearing bitterly. No, their faces couldn't possibly be grinning anymore.

They just couldn't figure it out. How was Tang Rao still so formidable without the protection of the Shu Family? Could it be that their judgment of Tang Rao was mistaken from the very beginning?

"Boss, what should we do now? Tomorrow is the old master's birthday banquet. If we can't complete the mission, we'll be dead meat when we return, but now we're tied up and locked in here, and we have no way to escape!"

Tang Rao put them in the dungeon provided by Shu Yi. Although it's not unbreakable, it's more than sufficient to hold these few people.

"Nonsense, I also know that being locked in here gives us no means of escape. But you've seen it too; Tang Rao's skills are far above ours. You can try to assassinate him again, but only if you can get out safely and think your life is worthless, willing to sacrifice it."

No, impossible.

With their mere trifling skills, how could they easily escape? Besides, everyone only has one life; they haven't lived enough yet, so why would they risk their lives for others?

"Forget it, we're locked up here, but at least our lives are spared. Whether returned with failure or had a fierce battle with Tang Rao, we might have died here long ago otherwise."

Luckily, there are sensible people who clearly see their current predicament, not feeling it's an insult to be locked up but rather thinking keeping their lives is what's most practical.

"Xiao Hang is right. Although we're locked up, we're still alive. No one knows if something might happen on the old master's birthday banquet day. If, as the old master imagined, Tang Rao creates trouble for the Yan Family on the banquet day, then everything might be turned upside down, and the Yan Family would be doomed. At that point, everyone will be focused on saving themselves. Who would care where we are or if we're dead?"

Ugly truth but reasonable; even though they're all Yan Family people, having eaten and lived off the Yan Family, when thinking about the possibility of Yan Family facing a crisis, the first thing they worry about is themselves, not how the Yan Family's future development would be.

The matter of Yan Family people being subdued is completely trivial to Tang Rao. That night, Shu Yi and the old master of Shu Family hosted a banquet for Tang Rao, and Tang Rao didn't even mention his afternoon's achievements.

"Xiao Tang, I've heard about your deeds on North Island. Didn't expect someone so young like you to be an Alchemist. The entire street is yours; I've heard it has all sorts of strange industries. If there's a chance, you must take me to visit and expand my knowledge."

The old master calling Tang Rao Xiao Tang clearly showed his recognition of Tang Rao. And Tang Rao calling Shu Yi's dad old master also indicated that Tang Rao bore no ill will towards Shu Yi's father.

"Visiting and expanding knowledge may be a stretch, but seeing something fresh is okay. However, if you fancy anything, you'll have to pay for it yourself."

Tang Rao has always been a money-grubber. It's really hard to get a bargain out of him, but fortunately, Shu Yi's dad isn't short of cash, and Tang Rao's words really resonated with him. With such an unflattering and not flattery-seeking young chap, it's hard not to like him.

"You're quite bold, not afraid to offend anyone. No problem, if I see something I like, I'll definitely pay for it myself without taking a penny from you. Is that alright?"

The old master was clever his whole life, yet he got tripped up in this matter. When he actually went to Kao Shan Street and strolled around, he realized that if he didn't squeeze out some benefits from Tang Rao, it would be a waste. But at that point, he could only obediently open his wallet.

"Since you said that, I'm relieved."

As the old master of Shu Family is about to take care of Tang Rao's business, Tang Rao couldn't help but toast to the old master, both laughing more brilliantly than a blooming flower.

"By the way, I only know you have some issues with the Yan Family. Do you have some deep hatred or something like that?"

The old master remembered Tang Rao was going to the Yan Family tomorrow, so he asked about any unavoidable stories between Tang Rao and the Yan Family.

Though he's been on East Island for days, not even Shu Yi had shared the story between Tang Rao and the Yan Family.

"The Second Son of Yan Family almost took my life; that's one thing. I need to destroy the Yan Family to save the world; that's another. Whether it's for the first or second reason, the Yan Family must vanish. Do you think destroying the Yan Family is right or wrong?"

The reasoning seems a bit flimsy, right?

But since the old master already stood by Tang Rao's side, no matter what Tang Rao said, he must agree that Tang Rao is correct.

"Right. Although I don't know your success probability, since you've chosen it, our Shu Family naturally stands by you to support."

"Isn't that it? I do good deeds and accumulate virtue; if you do good deeds with me, it's also accumulating virtue. Heaven is watching, and the benefits will definitely come to you eventually. Old master, you agree, right?"

Who would've thought that someone who used to curse heaven would now use heaven as pretext to get the old master to take Tang Rao's stance.

"Shu Yi, I've made an appointment with a few old geezers. Tomorrow, you and Tang Rao, along with a few juniors, will go over. Plus, Tang Rao is too noticeable; better to use the Disguise Technique before going. Otherwise, you'll be recognized before even entering the door, causing a lot more trouble."

The old master was thorough in his considerations, and Tang Rao felt his reasoning was sound, immediately expressing that he understood and even guaranteeing his Disguise Technique is excellent, capable of fooling others to the extent of being indistinguishable. He can even alter his scent.
