Chapter 30: Don’t Beat Him To Death . Beat Him Till He Is Half-Dead
“Mister Yan, Mister Yan!” Hong Tie reached Yan Huang and lowered his body respectfully .
“Mister Yan, why are you here today? It is our honor to have you visit our shopping center . Our shopping center will definitely do well after your visit…”
The moment the fierce-looking Hong Tie saw Yan Huang, he curried favor with him . He looked extremely funny . He was almost two meters tall while Yan Huang was only 1 . 7 meters . However, he was trying his best to make Yan Huang happy .
While speaking, Hong Tie realized that something was wrong . The Hundred Herbs House was in a mess . There was a woman who was crying behind Yan Huang too .
Hong Tie stopped talking and looked at the woman . Then, he looked at Xie Jinwen .
“Xie Jinwen,” Hong Tie took a deep breath . He thought about the worse scenario and stuttered, “You… did you… provoke Mister Yan?”
Xie Jinwen was astounded . When Hong Tie ran over calling Yan Huang’s name, he was already dumbfounded . He froze on the spot . His face was pale .
Shui Xiaolian was surprised too . She covered her mouth with her hands . She stared at Yang Huang with wide eyes .
She looked back and forth between her son and Brother Tie in disbelief . The famous hooligan of the shopping mall, Brother Tie, was… was so respectful towards her son . He even seemed to fear him .
Oh my god!
Shui Xiaolian felt lost .
What on earth is happening?
Yan Huang calmed himself and closed his eyes . He let out a huge sigh . He grabbed his mother even tighter .
“Don’t let me see this person again . ” Yan Huang glared at Xie Jinwen and waved his hand .
“Drag him out!” The moment Yan Huang finished speaking, Hong Tie shouted anxiously .
After yesterday’s fight, Hong Tie was extremely terrified of Yan Huang .
What kind of monsters is he? How can he fracture my arm with a single punch?
Hong Tie thought that this young man was a martial arts expert . His internal energy must have reached an exceptionally high level .
This thought had been etched in his mind . He knew that Master Hong kept a revolving pistol around him because he had many enemies .
However, even with all these precautions, Yan Huang had still been able to enter Master Hong’s room and subdue him .
Hong Tie had seen the empty pistol and confirmed his thoughts .
This young man had reached the dark state of internal energy! Only people who reached this state could dodge the bullets from a revolving pistol .
In the martial arts circle, there were three different stages of internal energy: Open state, dark state, and invisible state .
The open state of internal energy was the first state . It was the foundation of all states . People who reached this state would have a direct and strong internal energy .
The dark state was the next stage of internal energy . People who reached this state were able to turn their direct internal energy into a soft flow and let it flow through their bodies . They would have better control over their internal energy, and their internal energy was much more powerful .
The invisible state was the highest stage . The internal energy of a person at this state could be entirely controlled by him . He was able to use his mind to release his internal energy throughout his body .
Hong Tie had been practicing for more than 20 years . However, he was only at the peak of the open state of internal energy . He was only one step behind the dark state but this one step caused a huge difference in power .
People at the open state were strong but it was just brutal force . Their body was well-built . However, when they reached the dark state, the internal energy would merge with the strength in their muscles, and they could release the energy whenever they wanted to . People in this state could react quickly and were very agile .
If you met someone in this state, he would be able to run to you and give you a fatal blow before you could aim your gun at him .
“Brother Tie, Brother Tie, please spare me!” Xie Jinwen shouted . The two men in black suit continued to drag him away mercilessly .
Xie Jinwen’s cousin was worried for him but he couldn’t do anything . He saw how polite Hong Tie was towards Yan Huang . He could only pray for Xie Jinwen .
Very soon, the sound of beating and Xie Jinwen’s groans came from the staircase .
“Is this Mister Yan’s mother?” Although he had taught Xie Jinwen a lesson, Hong Tie continued to remain cautious around Yan Huang . People who reached the dark state of internal energy were able to start their own sects . They had a high social status too . Wealthy and powerful families treated them as honored guests .
Hong Tie finally understood why Yan Huang didn’t seem flustered when he had been surrounded by more than a hundred bodyguards at the Imperial Flourish Hotel . He wasn’t afraid of them at all .
In other words, none of them were able to win against him, even if they had attacked together .
Jiangning city was too small for an expert like Yan Huang .
“Yes . ” Yan Huang held Shui Xiaolian’s hand . “This person cursed at my mother . ”
“What? This person cursed at your mother?” Hong Tie turned to the staircase and shouted, “Slap him! Slap him till his mouth is ruined! F**k, I hate people who curse . ”
“Yan Huang,” Shui Xiaolian was a gentle and kind person . She got anxious when she heard what Hong Tie said . “Will he die from the beating? This is against the law . ”
“No, he won’t . They are just teaching him a lesson because he offended you . ” Before Yan Huang could reply, Hong Tie hurriedly answered for him . He even smiled amiably at Shui Xiaolian .
“From today onwards, the Hong Clan will be law-abiding . Look, I came here today because Master Hong said that the shop owners here do not need to pay protection fees anymore . ”
Hong Tie looked at Yan Huang cautiously as he said this .
“What?” Shui Xiaolian covered her mouth again in shock . There were close to 100 merchants at the Leda Shopping Centre . Everyone had to give a few hundred or a few thousand dollars worth of protection fees every month . If Master Hong stopped collecting protection fees, it meant that he would lose five figures worth of income .
“Good . ” Yan Huang nodded . He was satisfied with this action .
Hong Tie heaved a sigh of relief . He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead . It seemed like Yan Huang was still a benevolent and reasonable person .
Yan Huang continued, “Don’t beat him to death . Hit him until he is half-dead . ”
“Huh?” Hong Tie took a while to understand what he said . He immediately turned his head and shouted, “Did you hear Mister Yan? Don’t beat him to death . Hit him till he is half-dead!”
