Chapter 92: Beating Black & Blue.
The situation became very tense all of a sudden. None of the people expected Hao Ren to react like this. He was directly threatening Eden Dale before a superior Military Officer, and their was no sign of fear in his eyes. Xia Yun looked at situation and then looked at Commander Gan who said, "President Hao, can you let him go and then talk about it?"
Hao Ren looked at Commander Gan before he let go of Eden Dale. The young soldier fell down on the ground with his breath in complete disruption. Hao Ren looked back at Leonard Hamil and said, "You are not welcome here, leave."
Leonard Hamil sucked a deep breath. He did not expect Hao Ren to be this strong. Initially he wanted to rush and help Eden but now he was doubting his thoughts. Commander Gan sighed, he knew the conditions Hao Ren had stated for this deal to go through, if they did not agree with him, the deal might not go through.
He looked at Eden and asked, "Captain, what is going on here? Are you trying to use your military position to meddle and intimidate a civilian?"
Eden had calmed down by now, he stood up and said, "Sir, I have been pursuing Miss Han Lingshi for a considerable time. However, when I went off to serve in the forces this man came from some unknown dump and tricked her. From what I know about this man is that he comes from a poor household but now he is making millions everyday, I am sure it is because of the money and support of Miss Han Lingshi.
He is exploiting an innocent person and I cannot stand that."
Hao Ren chuckled and then shook his head with a mocking expression on his face. He took out his phone and called Han Lingshi. The lady picked up the call and asked, "Ren, I have a meeting in five minutes, can I call you later?"
Hao Ren said, "Ling, Captain Eden Dale has come knocking on the door and he claims that I tricked you in dating me and that every thing that I own today is yours."
Han Lingshi sighed and said, "Handle it however you want to Ren, this guy has become a headache for me. I do not care about him. I told him back in the high school that I don't like him, but this man seemed to have no self respect. You know how he stalked me, right? Many times I even wanted to make a complain against him, but I hesitated many times."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Lingshi, I think that is enough, the call was on the speaker. If he still does not back off, then I will make sure that he will."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "I am going I have a meeting, see you at home."
Hao Ren then disconnected the call, and said, "Commander Gan, you have heard what my wife said, right? Can you please tell Captain Eden Dale to leave here?"
Commander Gan nodded and then he looked at Eden Dale, and said, "Captain, I think that answer should suffice you. If you continue staying here you will only bring shame to yourself and the uniform you wear."
Eden Dale looked at Commander Gan with unreconciled expression on his face. He was enraged from the core of his soul. He looked at Hao Ren and spoke in a low voice, "If you are so valiant, come and beat me in a fair one-on-one sparing match."
Commander Gan glared at Eden Dale and asked, "Captain Dale, are you disobeying my direct order?"
Eden Dale had given up on all of his senses and logic. Han Lingshi was his obsession, for her, he had fought many people and even his destiny. He was aware that he could not reach the height where she stood in the cooperate world. However, he was diligent in his effort and thus he became a soldier after graduation. In five years, he had climbed the rank of a captain in special forces.
He was a young talent.
Eden Dale looked at Commander Gan with an indifferent expression on his face, as he said, "Sir, I am here in a civilian capacity. I am not here with weapons, or any power that is bestowed to me by the military. I am not disobeying any order."
Hao Ren smirked and asked, "Since that is the case, Commander Gan, I wonder if you would like to serve as a referee for our match?"
Commander Gan thought for a moment, and then he said, "Fine, I will."
Hao Ren took off his coat and undid his tie. He looked at Eden Dale and said, "The garden in the front is good enough for you to use as a fighting ring?"
Eden Dale turned around to check the small garden and said, "It is a luxurious ground compared to the fields we have at the front."
Hao Ren did not comment, and he took off his watch and handed it to Markus Bourne as he said, "Take care of it, it's my wife's first gift."
He emphasized on this to make Eden even more jealous. Markus Bourne then asked, "Chairman, what about the ring on your hand?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Oh, don't worry, this is jade it will not be effected."
Eden gnashed his teeth, and he said, "Come and fight already."
Hao Ren smiled as he said, "Often impatience becomes the reason for your fall."
Eden Dale, took a deep breathe and clenched his fist as he took off his windbreaker. A few minutes later, the people moved to the ground and they stood five meters apart.
Commander Gan took a deep breath and said, "Anyone who is pushed ten meters back or is unable to fight will lose."
Eden Dale nodded, and Hao Ren followed. Commander Gao looked at the two of them and said, "Begin."
Eden Dale was quick, and he quickly approached Hao Ren, but just as he reached the range to attack, he saw an object flickering in his peripheral vision, and he staggered.
Not only him, but all the people were stunned, they all saw Eden Dale staggering back in his steps but none of them caught a clear sight of what happened. Only Commander Gan and Lieutenant Xia Yun saw how Hao Ren jabbed at Eden Dale's forehead.
Eden Dale himself did not see it, but Hao Ren did not care, he moved quickly and his left fists rained down on his opponent in quick succession. His blows had altered the right side of Eden's face. It was black and blue, riddled with bruises. He did not look any better than a pig with rotten flesh.
All this happened within three minutes, Hao Ren's left arm seemed to have transformed into a machine gun which was firing bullets rapidly.
Eden Dale was left in a daze, his senses were dull. He was standing but his right eye was swollen. Hao Ren moved to his left, entering the blind spot of the young soldier, and his legs were like a whip lashing out on his body leaving drastic wounds.
Commander Gan saw this and he decided to intervene, "Stop!"
As soon as he spoke, Eden Dale fell on the ground, he was left groaning in pain. Hao Ren looked at Commander Gan coldly and the latter said, "He is not capable of fighting anymore. If you beat him up more, he would suffer severe injuries."
Hao Ren looked at the groaning Eden Dale and said, "Commander Gan, I will let him off on your account. If he came sniffing for trouble again, I will not spare him."
Commander Gan nodded and said, "Do not worry, I will handle this situation personally."
Hao Ren then looked at Leonard Hamil who was standing on the side, as he said, "Since you are his best friend, why don't you take him to the hospital? Also, tell him, that I am capable of doing more than just bruises."

After that, Hao Ren and his staff entered the factory, Commander Gan told Xia Yun to help Leonard Hamil to carry Eden Dale inside the car, before leaving to the Military Headquarters.
...
Han Lingshi had just come out of the conference room and suddenly found the entire corridor filled with white flowers. She smiled and then she looked at her assistant before asking, "Tina, where did these flowers come from?"
Tina smiled and said, "Mister Hao came over, and he bought a loads of flowers for you. We told him that you were in a meeting, and so he came up with the idea to decorate the place."
Han Lingshi nodded and asked, "Where is he now?"
She appeared to be indifferent but a faint tint of pink was visible on her cheeks. Tina replied, "He is waiting for you in your cabin."
Han Lingshi nodded and walked away.
...
Mean while in the city hospital, the doctors have finished checking Eden Dale's condition. The chief doctor said, "They are all bruises but your friend is very lucky, Mister Hamil. The attackers did not attack the vital organs, these bruises will vanish in three days, and the swelling will go down soon."
Leonard Hamil thanked them as they left the ward. He then asked, "Eden, what now?"
The latter replied, "I am going back to work after recovering."
Leonard was surprised and thought it was because Hao Ren had beaten Eden, but the truth was Eden wanted to go back to the front and get stronger and come back to fight against Hao Ren. He understood the gap between him and Hao Ren after this fight.
Eden looked at Leonard and said, "The humiliation he served me today, will be returned to him a thousand folds."
