52: Chapter 52 So, you're saying you're very capable?

A man's angry cursing exploded suddenly, crude and piercing.

Immediately after... Bang—!

The private room's door exploded inward, the latch bolt bent from the impact, and the doorknob slammed hard against the wall, emitting a harsh, muffled thud.

The next second, a young woman flew in directly from outside the door.

She fell onto the carpet, rolled forward twice, knocked over a small stool by the coffee table, and wine bottles and fruit plates scattered everywhere with a clatter.

The girl's hair was messy, her face smeared with blood mixed with wine, dripping down from her chin. Her dress was torn and disheveled, and her whole body was trembling.

Lu Cheng rolled over and sat up from the massage bed, his eyes instantly turning cold.

Su Wan also turned her head, and the moment her gaze landed on the girl's face, her brows knitted together.

In the corridor outside the door, footsteps approached in a dragging manner.

A young man with dyed yellow hair, wearing a bathrobe draped over his shoulders, walked in swaying. His face was flushed with the smell of alcohol, his eyes were unfocused, and he had half a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Behind him followed two men in black suits, sturdy in build and standing with steady footing, faintly possessing the level of the Source Gathering Realm.

The yellow-haired man entered and first glanced at the girl on the floor, kicked her leg as if she were trash, then looked up and saw the scene in the private room, his eyes instantly brightening.

A young man wearing a bathrobe had just sat up from the massage bed.

Standing beside him was an extremely beautiful girl, her hair slightly messy, her face cold.

This scene in his eyes immediately took on a different meaning.

The yellow-haired man grinned, carrying a nauseating, frivolous air.

"Yo, you two lovebirds really know how to play, huh?"

As he spoke, his gaze stuck to Su Wan, scanning her up and down. The more he looked, the more excited he became, and the slight drunkenness in his eyes was almost burning into lust.

"Buddy, I see your wife has some looks. Let me play with her, and I'll give you whatever money you want."

As soon as these words fell, the air turned a few degrees colder.

The chill on Su Wan's body surged out almost instantly.

She looked at this yellow-haired man, ice already forming in the depths of her eyes.

People from the Lin Family...

In her past life, she had no good impression of this family. Except for that Lin Tianjian who was somewhat decent, the rest of these goods were rotten to the core.

Her right fingertips moved slightly, and cold energy had already begun to gather in her palm.

But just before she was about to act, Lu Cheng moved first.

No nonsense.

And no warning.

He pushed off with his feet, rushing out from the side of the bed. His right fist tightened, his shoulders and back twisted, and his energy and blood were compressed onto his fist in an instant, his movement so fast it brought a gust of wind.

Bang!

This punch landed solidly on the yellow-haired man's face.

The cigarette in the yellow-haired man's mouth flew out on the spot, and nosebleed mixed with blood from his teeth exploded. He flew backward horizontally, his back slamming heavily against the corridor wall, then bouncing off, landing in a dizzy mess.

Lu Cheng stood at the doorway, shaking his wrist, his voice cold and hard.

"How much money do I need to play with your mother?"

The two men in black suits changed expressions abruptly and immediately stepped forward.

The yellow-haired man on the ground covered his face, half of which was already swollen, his mouth full of blood, his brain stunned by the punch. He propped himself up against the wall, his eyes full of shock and rage, pointing at Lu Cheng, his voice distorted.

"You f*cking... do you know who I am?!"

Lu Cheng glanced at him, too lazy to respond.

By this time, it was already chaotic outside.

Technician Chen Qingqing and Technician Shen Lingling, who had been driven out earlier, along with several other waiters, were all drawn over by the commotion.

The front desk manager, Hu Luo, also ran over quickly, her face pale, her head aching as soon as she saw the scene.

She recognized the yellow-haired man.

Lin Tianwang.

A notoriously scummy person from a branch of the Lin Family, relying on his family's influence to cause trouble everywhere every day.

Yet, he really had backing, and usually, many places couldn't do anything about him.

Hu Luo hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to suppress the situation first.

"Young Master Lin, please calm down. We will handle tonight's matter. You..."

Slap!

Lin Tianwang raised his hand and slapped, aiming for Hu Luo's face.

"Get lost! Do you deserve to?"

Before his slap could land, it was firmly caught by a hand.

Lu Cheng stood to the side, his five fingers hooking and directly gripping his wrist.

Lin Tianwang's expression changed, and he struggled hard twice, but surprisingly couldn't break free.

Lu Cheng tilted his head to look at the two bodyguards behind him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Two bodyguards of the Source Gathering Realm..."

He curled his lips, his tone carrying a faint mockery.

"So, you are quite capable, then?"

Lin Tianwang's wrist was being squeezed painfully, and he roared in exasperation: "Kill him for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the two bodyguards moved simultaneously.

The one on the left was sturdier, stepping down so hard the carpet sank, his fist wrapped in Source Power charging straight for Lu Cheng's chest. The one on the right moved more insidiously, his figure flashing as he cut directly toward Lu Cheng's ribs from the side, clearly aiming to cripple him first.

Lu Cheng released Lin Tianwang and stepped back. Just as he was about to meet them, Su Wan had already acted.

Cold energy exploded suddenly.

She raised her hand and struck out with a palm, white cold mist instantly rushing onto the face of the bodyguard on the right. His movements stalled, a thin layer of frost instantly freezing on his shoulders and arms, and the circulation of his Source Power even stuttered.

Lu Cheng seized this opening and met the sturdy bodyguard on the left head-on.

Bang!

Fist against fist.

A muffled thud exploded in the corridor.

The sturdy bodyguard's expression changed, feeling a brutal force rush into his arm along his fist, numbing his shoulder.

He was clearly in the Source Gathering Realm, his explosive strength far surpassing the Body Refining Realm, yet he couldn't even block this young man's fist!

Lu Cheng also understood the situation.

The actual combat level of these two people was far less impressive than those sent by the Zhou Family; they were just at a standard level.

On the other side, Su Wan had already closed in.

Her figure flickered, cutting into the inside of the bodyguard who had been frozen for an instant.

Her hand-blade, carrying cold energy, slashed toward the opponent's neck.

The bodyguard hurriedly raised his arm to block. The moment they made contact, his entire forearm went numb, the cold seeping into his Tendon & Bone Stage, and his movements were clearly a beat slower.

Lu Cheng seized the opportunity, let out a low shout, exerted force from his waist and hips, and smashed his Crushing Fist out directly.

One punch, two sounds.

The sturdy bodyguard's chest collapsed inward, and he was blown back several steps, knocking over the decorative shelf behind him.

"Damn it!"

The other bodyguard was just about to provide backup when Su Wan kicked him in the back of the knee.

Crack!

The man's leg went soft, and he half-knelt down.

Lu Cheng took the opportunity to pounce, striking him in the chin with a knee, forcing his head back and making his vision go black.

Immediately after, Su Wan followed up with a palm, the cold energy exploding directly on his face. The man was knocked flat onto the ground, his whole body convulsing twice, unable to even crawl up.

The corridor went quiet instantly.

The two Source Gathering Realm bodyguards: one was curled up on the ground clutching his chest, the other was slumped against the wall panting, frost on his face.

Only Lin Tianwang was left standing.

The drunkenness on his face had completely vanished. His eyes were wide open, looking at the bodyguards on the ground, then looking at Lu Cheng and Su Wan walking over step by step, his legs starting to go weak.

What the hell is this?

Two people who looked like students had beaten down the Source Gathering Realm bodyguards he brought?!

Lin Tianwang swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"You... do you know who I am?"

Lu Cheng walked up to him, his expression plain.

"I don't know, and I'm not interested."

After saying this, he raised his hand and slowly extended two fingers.

Lin Tianwang instinctively shrank back a step, his face turning green.

Lu Cheng looked at his crotch, his tone very flat.

"If you don't want your little brother to be separated from you, do two things right now, and I'll let you go."

Lin Tianwang's breath hitched, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Lu Cheng lifted his chin, first pointing at the girl on the ground covered in blood and wine.

"First, apologize to my friend."

Lin Tianwang's face turned shades of green and white, gritting his teeth without speaking.

Lu Cheng's gaze swept downward.

Lin Tianwang immediately clamped his legs together, his scalp going numb.

Lu Cheng turned his head again, looking at Hu Luo, who was already pale with fear, and the coffee table that had been knocked over, the broken wine bottles, and the fruit plates and decorations scattered all over the floor.

"Second, apologize to this waiter, and compensate for all the losses here."

The girl was already huddled in the corner by now, hugging her arms and trembling, her eyes full of panic. She clearly hadn't expected that in the private room she had been kicked into, someone would stand up for her.

Hu Luo stood to the side, completely stunned. It was her first time seeing a martial artist stand up for them, the waitstaff.

And they were two students who didn't look very old.

After hearing this, Lin Tianwang's face twisted.

He spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground, staring viciously at Lu Cheng.

"Pah! You're thinking too much!"

"You'd better let me go now, otherwise... the fury of the Lin Family is not something you can bear!"

"The Lin Family...?"

A crisp female voice came from the other end of the corridor.
