Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Then Let’s Give a Minor Punishment

Noon.

At the headquarters of the Celestial Wolf Gang, Xu Yongshou sat in the office, handling the gang’s daily affairs.

Since Su Xin’s identity was revealed, Lening City has gained international fame. Many people know it as Su Xin’s hometown and come to Lening City with a pilgrim-like mindset, seemingly wanting to breathe the air Su Xin once breathed, walk the land Su Xin once walked, and see the places where Su Xin grew up and lived.

So recently, Lening City has been extraordinarily lively.

Of course, as the local kingpin of Lening City, Xu Yongshou, the leader of the Celestial Wolf Gang, knew that besides the surge in out-of-town tourists, there were several other formidable forces active in Lening City, seemingly to dig deep into everything about Su Xin.

Moreover, besides Su Xin, the world’s recognized strongest superpower user, Lening City had two other superpower users, which was also a reason for attracting attention from various international forces.

And as the local kingpin of Lening City, the Celestial Wolf Gang and other forces dared not act recklessly in front of these truly international powers; they could only restrain themselves as much as possible to avoid major trouble.

As a result, these days, life for Xu Yongshou and others was not easy. They had to be extremely cautious and seriously assist those major forces in their investigations, maintaining a very low profile.

“Sigh! I don’t know if Su Xin will ever return. If he does come back, will he promote me? After all, we are partners!”

Thinking about how all this turbulence was caused by Su Xin, Xu Yongshou couldn’t help but recall what Su Xin had said before, murmuring to himself.

Su Xin had previously given him a mission, saying that once it was completed, he could become his collaborator, and later indeed promised so.

Unfortunately, their so-called collaboration had just been agreed upon, and before a few days passed, Su Xin’s true identity was exposed, and he rushed to the Celestial Kingdom, causing a massive commotion, instantly becoming the world’s most renowned superpower user, hailed by countless netizens as “God Su.”

Globally, Su God is unquestionably the highest-ranking individual, without exception.

If Su Xin were likened to an emperor, then Xu Yongshou would be just a small village official in a remote mountain village, not even considered the village head.

The disparity in status between the two was too great.

The collaboration Su Xin had once proactively mentioned now seemed like an unattainable fantasy to him.

Just as Xu Yongshou was inadvertently lost in thought, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure sitting in front of him.

He was immediately startled, his breath catching.

But he quickly came to his senses.

This familiar scene made Xu Yongshou guess the visitor’s identity even before he clearly saw their face.

He sprang up from his seat with a face full of excitement, his voice trembling as he shouted softly:

“Mr…. Mr. Su!”

“Have I turned dark?”

Su Xin smiled faintly.

The continuous upgrades of his superpower recently, along with gaining several traits of the Exercise Maniac, made Su Xin particularly cheerful, rare enough for him to make a small joke with Xu Yongshou.

But this little joke startled Xu Yongshou tremendously. He feared Su Xin really blamed him for misspeaking, knowing that he wasn’t actually familiar with Su Xin, and considering Su Xin’s few rounds of slaughter in the Celestial Kingdom previously, he didn’t seem like an easy-going person. Thus, he was nervous, stammering as he explained:

“N-no, not at all, sorry… I… I misspoke out of nervousness earlier.”

Seeing this, Su Xin found it uninteresting and leaned back against the chair, saying flatly:

“Since you know my identity now, you should also know that someone in your gang once deliberately caused trouble for me, right?”

“Tell me, why was there trouble? And where did you get the information?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yongshou became even more nervous.

Indeed, when Su Xin’s identity was first exposed, practically everyone in the world was scouring all information related to Su Xin. Xu Yongshou had no intentions towards Su Xin but, being the local kingpin and having interacted with Su Xin before, naturally looked into Su Xin’s information.

As a result, he discovered that Su Xin was actually one of the ’clients’ of his gang. Initially, they had arranged for their men to target Su Xin, but due to a battle with a rival gang, they were delayed. Otherwise, if they had gone through with it, the Celestial Wolf Gang might have been destroyed by Su Xin already.

Even though no actions were taken yet, the mere news of this made Xu Yongshou and some other gang leaders extremely tense, fearing that someday, Su Xin would come after them over this matter.

Based on Su Xin’s actions in the Celestial Kingdom after his identity was exposed, they had every reason to believe that if Su Xin knew about this, he might wipe out the entire Celestial Wolf Gang.

And today.

Su Xin indeed returned, and he brought up the matter as soon as they met, which immediately caused Xu Yongshou’s hands to tremble slightly.

“Mr. Su, let me explain.”

“We didn’t know your identity at the time, so my men included you as a target as they usually do and were preparing to make a move.”

Su Xin raised his hand, tapping his index finger heavily on the desk, and said flatly:

“No need to explain, just get to the point.”

Xu Yongshou nodded repeatedly: “Alright, we have a business in our gang; for those with simple networks but substantial assets, we use various means to invite them to our turf, like nightclubs, casinos, etc., figuring out how to legally take their money.”

“We have fixed information channels, such as professional inheritance lawyers.”

“Su Xin’s information was provided by one of the lawyers we work with.”

“After receiving the intel, a specific department was arranged to approach Mr. Su as his contact. It was only a few days ago that I found out a few subordinates indeed planned to lure you to the casino, but rest assured, I have had them arrested, ready to face Mr. Su’s judgment at any time.”

Su Xin calmly asked:

“Is that lawyer named Lin Dong?”

Xu Yongshou nodded: “Yes!”

“Got it. As for the people you mentioned, handle them yourself. Also, where’s the knife I asked you to get ready earlier? Is it prepared?”

“Prepared, two of them. I left them in the study at my house. I’ll send someone to fetch them now.”

“No need, I’ll go get them myself later.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yongshou didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, he smiled broadly:

“Alright, much appreciated, Mr. Su.”

Su Xin casually asked: “Has anything special happened in Lening City lately?”

Xu Yongshou briefly recounted the major events that had happened in Lening City recently. He mentioned that a mysterious organization had taken several people associated with Su Xin, but for some unknown reason, they were all released unharmed.

“… Also, after Mr. Su revealed his identity, two more superpower users appeared in Lening City. One girl is said to be Mr. Su’s friend, named Lin Yufei.”

As Xu Yongshou said this, he carefully watched Su Xin’s expression.

Su Xin was only slightly surprised and said:

“Lin Yufei? She’s a superpower user too?”

“Yes, as I mentioned earlier, a mysterious organization targeted people associated with Mr. Su, including Lin Yufei. During the attempt to capture her, she was rescued by a superpower user. Someone filmed the entire process and posted it online; many people have seen it.”

“Afterward, this organization seemed intent on capturing her and the superpower user, leading to several clashes. Lin Yufei displayed special abilities, but there are no videos of the fights, so we only heard that she has abilities.”

Su Xin lightly nodded, saying:

“Do you have detailed information on Lin Yufei? Or know where she is? Do you have any leads?”

“I have information, but as for her whereabouts, I’m not sure. She’s likely hiding deep to avoid being found by the mysterious organization.”

“Alright, send the information to my email.”

“Understood.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Su Xin suddenly vanished before his eyes. Xu Yongshou was left momentarily stunned, finally letting out a heavy sigh.

Facing someone like Su Xin, who could take his life at any moment, with a prideful and intensely murderous nature, it’s difficult for anyone to remain calm. Xu Yongshou was no exception.

Facing Su Xin now is even more terrifying than facing the Black Robe in the past.

Thankfully, Su Xin had finally left.

There shouldn’t be any more interactions in the future.

…

Two minutes later, Su Xin arrived at lawyer Lin Dong’s office. Lin Dong was instructing a young man in the office area, with a tone and manner that was not very polite.

Su Xin didn’t bother waiting for Lin Dong to return to his office; instead, he appeared right behind him.

His presence shocked many people in the office area, bringing what was a somewhat noisy space to dead silence in an instant.

Only Lin Dong’s voice sounded loudly.

Initially, Lin Dong thought his shout at his intern had stunned everyone, but noticing the unusual expressions on people’s faces, he slowly realized what was happening.

He slowly turned around.

Behind him stood a strong young man dressed casually, whose face was both familiar and unfamiliar, causing Lin Dong’s heart to tremble.

“Mr… Mr. Su?”

Despite Su Xin’s more robust physique, Lin Dong couldn’t fail to recognize that face.

In fact, he’d had several nightmares over the past few days, all related to Su Xin, making him fear the owner of that face down to his bones.

He knew what he had done, and knew that if Su Xin wanted to pursue it, he would certainly find out that Lin Dong sold the information. After all, the Celestial Wolf Gang, with whom he’s been collaborating for a long time, had cut off relations with him completely these past few days, clearly signaling their intent to sever all ties.

Now, he could only hope that Su Xin hadn’t paid much attention to this matter, or that Su Xin wasn’t aware of it at all, because as far as he knew, the Celestial Wolf Gang had not taken real action.

But the first words out of Su Xin’s mouth chilled his heart:

“You’re the one who sold my information, right?”

“Mr. Su, let me explain…”

“No need to explain. I’m not really in the mood to kill right now, so I’ll just give a little punishment.”

With that, Su Xin materialized a short knife, swung it towards his left wrist.

With nearly five hundred pounds of power, combined with the sharpness of a short knife made from special steel, he instantly sliced off lawyer Lin’s left hand, the cut as clean as if it were machine-cut frozen meat.

Blood gushed out in waves.

Lin Dong froze for a moment, hesitantly raising his now empty left hand, staring at the cut as if he didn’t immediately comprehend, but soon the pain engulfed him. He fell to the ground writhing madly, crying, screaming in agony.
