65: Chapter 65 Zhao Jinhu Apologizes

Zhao Jinbao clutched his swollen Face, stumbling back to the East City branch of the Black Water Gang.

"Brother! Brother!" As soon as he entered, he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice choked with tears, "You have to stand up for me!"

Vajra of Black Water Gang was sitting on a grand armchair drinking tea. Seeing his brother's miserable state, he frowned, put down his teacup, and stood up.

"What is it this time?"

"Han Ming! That Han Ming hit me again!" Zhao Jinbao pointed at his red, swollen Face, tears welling up, "I took four people with me, and they were all beaten down by him! Brother, you must help me vent this anger!"

Upon hearing this, the expression of Vajra of Black Water Gang changed instantly.

Han Ming—this was a name he was all too familiar with.

During this period, this name had been spreading like wildfire through the underground world of Jiangbei.

An SS-Rank Profound Ice Spirit Body, a 19-year-old 1-Star Martial Master, admitted to Modu Martial Arts University, and backed by a Master suspected to be at the Martial Venerable level.

More importantly, just this afternoon, Bureau Chief Li Baili of the Education Bureau personally visited the Han Family to show support for Han Ming.

Who was Li Baili? A Peak Martial Marquis powerhouse, Bureau Chief of the Jiangbei City Education Bureau, a figure whom even Gang Leader Liu Heishui had to treat with respect.

"You said you took four people? Which four?" Vajra of Black Water Gang asked.

"Zhang Hu, Li Biao, and the others." Zhao Jinbao rubbed his Face, "They are all 3-Star and 4-Star Martial Masters, but they were all taken down by Han Ming with a single palm strike each!"

The pupils of Vajra of Black Water Gang constricted slightly.

One palm strike each to take down four Martial Masters? Wasn't Han Ming a 1-Star Martial Master? How could he have this kind of strength?

"Are you sure it was Han Ming?" Vajra of Black Water Gang pressed.

"It was him! Even if he turned to ash, I would recognize him!" Zhao Jinbao gritted his teeth, "Brother, send a few Great Martial Masters to capture him. I want to personally..."

"Enough!" Vajra of Black Water Gang roared, cutting his brother off.

Zhao Jinbao was stunned; he had never seen his brother this angry before.

"Do you have any idea who you've provoked?"

Vajra of Black Water Gang's Face was livid as he pointed at Zhao Jinbao's nose and cursed:

"An SS-Rank Genius, a student of Modu Martial Arts University, possibly with a Martial Venerable Master backing him! This afternoon, Li Baili personally went to the Han Family to show support for him! You want me to go capture him? Do you want me dead, or do you want the Black Water Gang finished?"

Zhao Jinbao opened his mouth, unable to speak. He only knew that Han Ming was a student; because he had been injured and lost Face, how could he have known the consequences would be so severe?

"Brother, then... then did I just take those injuries for nothing?" Zhao Jinbao said, feeling wronged.

"For nothing?" Vajra of Black Water Gang sneered, "If you dare to provoke him again, the next time won't be as simple as just getting beaten! He can kill a Martial Master with a single palm strike; killing you would be as easy as pinching an ant!"

Zhao Jinbao turned pale and dared not speak again.

Vajra of Black Water Gang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

He knew this matter could not just end here. It wasn't about whether he, Vajra of Black Water Gang, wanted to let it go, but whether Han Ming would.

Offending an SS-Rank Genius, a future Martial Emperor or even Martial Venerable, was no laughing matter.

"Tomorrow, come with me to the Han Family to apologize," Vajra of Black Water Gang said in a deep voice.

"What?" Zhao Jinbao's eyes widened, "Brother, I'm the one who got beaten, and I still have to go apologize?"

"If you don't go, don't ever call me brother again!" Vajra of Black Water Gang snorted coldly and turned to walk into the inner room.

Zhao Jinbao stood in place, clutching his swollen Face, feeling both wronged and afraid.

Early the next morning, Vajra of Black Water Gang took Zhao Jinbao and set out.

He had specifically prepared a generous gift: fifty grade 4 blood qi pills, ten grade 5 blood qi pills, and a Tier 4 Spirit Medicine. Altogether, these items were worth over twenty million.

Zhao Jinbao followed behind, the injuries on his Face still not healed, swollen like a pig's head. He kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone.

The Han Family.

Han Ming was Cultivating in the courtyard. When he heard Uncle Fu report that Vajra of Black Water Gang was requesting an audience, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

Vajra of Black Water Gang? What is he here for?

"Let them in." Han Ming put away his Cultivation Technique and walked to the main hall to sit down.

Before long, Vajra of Black Water Gang walked in with Zhao Jinbao. Vajra of Black Water Gang had a sturdy build and a Face full of flesh, but at this moment, his Face was full of smiles, and his attitude was so respectful that it didn't look like that of a 3-Star Great Martial Master.

"Young Master Han, please forgive this presumptuous visit." Vajra of Black Water Gang cupped his hands in a salute, then kicked Zhao Jinbao in the leg, "Kneel!"

Zhao Jinbao fell to his knees with a thud, keeping his head down, not daring to look up.

Watching this scene, the corner of Han Ming's mouth curled into an amused smile.

"Vajra of Black Water Gang, what is the meaning of this?"

Vajra of Black Water Gang hurriedly said, "Young Master Han, it is my poor discipline that allowed this good-for-nothing brother of mine to offend you. Today, I brought him here, firstly to apologize, and secondly to thank you, Young Master Han, for showing mercy and not taking his life."

He presented the prepared gift with both hands: "It's just a small token, not much of a gesture, but I hope you will accept it, Young Master Han."

Han Ming took the gift box, glanced at it casually, and was surprised.

Fifty grade 4 blood qi pills, ten grade 5 blood qi pills, and a Tier 4 ice-attribute Spirit Medicine.

Vajra of Black Water Gang really is a big spender. The combined value is comparable to the previous Han Family. Are people in the underworld all this rich? Should he consider some "black-on-black" extortion?

Han Ming couldn't help but think.

"Vajra of Black Water Gang, you are too polite. As for your brother's matter, I can let it go, but I hope there won't be a next time."

Han Ming put the gift box into his spatial storage right in front of Vajra of Black Water Gang, glanced at Zhao Jinbao kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently.

"Certainly, certainly! Rest assured, Young Master Han, I will discipline him strictly when I return and will never let him cause trouble again."

Upon hearing this, Vajra of Black Water Gang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded in assurance.

Han Ming nodded and picked up his teacup.

Vajra of Black Water Gang tactfully took his leave, taking Zhao Jinbao with him as they left the Han Family.

After walking out of the Han Family gates, Zhao Jinbao finally dared to raise his head and asked in a low voice, "Brother, is that it?"

Vajra of Black Water Gang glared at him: "If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll break your legs!"

Zhao Jinbao shrank his neck and dared not speak again.

After Vajra of Black Water Gang left, Han Ming returned to his room, waved his hand, and a gift box instantly appeared on the table.

"So many resources are enough to provide me with 100,000 points of blood qi, enough to make a Breakthrough to a small Realm."

Han Ming showed a satisfied smile.

The resources "borrowed" from the Zhang Family previously hadn't been fully digested yet, and now Vajra of Black Water Gang had sent him so much; what a good person!

After digesting the resources on his person, he would at least be able to break through to a 6-Star Great Martial Master.

By then, apart from that Martial Ancestor Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family, no one would be his match.

However, just consuming these Medicinal Pills directly felt like a waste.

With the System bug, why shouldn't he exploit it?

...

"You must be little sister Xiaoyu! Where is your brother?"

In the afternoon, Han Ming arrived at Lin Fan's house, looked at the cute young girl before him, and asked with a smile.

"You... you are Han Ming?"

Lin Xiaoyu quickly recognized Han Ming and called out in surprise, then looked at Han Ming with an excited expression.

Han Ming was a prominent figure at No. 3 High School; she had heard many legends about him at school recently.

A hidden SS-Rank Genius, admitted to Modu Martial Arts University, a 19-year-old Martial Master—she didn't know how many young fangirls idolized him.

"Yes. Is your brother home? I'm looking for him for something."

Han Ming looked at this somewhat excited young girl and felt a bit puzzled. He didn't seem to have been this popular before, right?

"Ah? Oh! My brother isn't home. What does Big Brother Han Ming need him for?"

Hearing Han Ming's words, Lin Xiaoyu finally reacted, a flash of shyness crossing her Face.

"Aren't I and your brother classmates? It's been a while, so I'm looking to catch up with him."

Han Ming looked at the cute young girl and found it somewhat amusing. He didn't tell her his true purpose.

There were some things it was better she didn't know.

"Alright then! I'll help you ask when he'll be back."

Lin Xiaoyu didn't ask further, took out her phone, and started helping Han Ming contact Lin Fan.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu's phone, Han Ming was slightly taken aback. Lin Fan was really generous to his sister; the phone was the latest model costing over ten thousand.

Han Ming looked closer and realized that Lin Xiaoyu's talent had already undergone Awakening, and she was actually already a 3-Star Martial Apprentice!

Han Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly; having the backing of a Child of Luck was great. With this strength, she was definitely a top-tier Genius at No. 3 High School.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Less than half an hour later, Lin Fan rushed back in a hurry, looked at Han Ming on the sofa, and questioned him with an unfriendly tone.

After receiving his sister's call, he had directly abandoned the task of slaying that Tier 3 Peak exotic beast and rushed back without stopping.

He was afraid that this bastard Han Ming had some bad intentions toward his sister at home.
