Chapter 489 - Bullet-proof Vest

Chapter 489: Bullet-proof Vest

When Leon took advantage of Su Li and groped her, Xiao Luo had already decided that the matter would not end mildly. His expression suddenly turned cold, and he started to charge at Leon with a fierce cry.

Leon had to focus hard as a terrifying aura emanated from Xiao Luo, and he resembled an uncaged beast that was now thirsting for blood and eager for a good fight. His charge was as powerful as a tiger and as fast as a cheetah—and Leon was a shivering prey unable to flee.

Whoosh~

Xiao Luo threw his right fist out with immense power, and as he did so, the 284-gram boxing glove could not handle the force of the punch and started ripping from the middle, exposing Xiao Luo’s fist. The opening resembled a cut that was slashed by a wind blade.

“Young master, dodge!”

Leon’s subordinates were in anxiety and frightened for Leon as they could tell that the power of this punch was absolutely devastating. They could detect Xiao Luo’s intent to cause maximum harm.

Die!

Xiao Luo had an evil smirk on his face. As Leon dared to blatantly take advantage of Su Li in his presence, that also meant that he had knocked on the door to hell.

Leon turned pale with fright, and his eyes were getting wider as Xiao Luo’s fist became larger and larger as it homed in toward him. He could barely react to it and took the incoming blow on his chest.

POW!

A thick gush of blood exploded from his mouth, along with a cracking sound as his ribcage fractured. Leon flew back like a broken kite for several meters, leaving a trailing red arc in the air as he vomited blood.

Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan shivered as if they had been electrocuted. They watched the ongoing fight in trepidation as the worst-case scenario they had earlier imagined was now happening. Once again, Xiao Luo had overdone it, and this could only bring about unnecessary trouble.

The two subordinates rushed over to Leon to check him. After a quick inspection, they both stood up and yelled angrily at Xiao Luo, “Dude, were you intending to kill him?”

“As I said previously, injuries are bound to happen in any sparring contest. Could it be that your young master is a sore loser?”

Xiao Luo smiled mirthlessly as he removed the torn boxing gloves. His punch had shattered Leon’s ribcage, which pushed against his heart. Leon would remain unconscious for a while, but if he was not treated in time, that would be life-threatening.

“You’re asking for it!”

One of the subordinates dashed up and threw a punch at Xiao Luo, intending to teach him a lesson. Although his blow was powerful, Xiao Luo remained where he was without moving an inch and ignored it.

BOOM!

This subordinate’s punch landed forcefully on Xiao Luo’s chest, but it did not send Xiao Luo flying away. Instead, he was thrown back by an incredibly strong recoil force the moment he struck Xiao Luo.

CRACK!

The subordinate’s arm broke immediately, and he let out a nerve-racking scream as he stumbled back. He finally fell and sat on the ground, holding his broken arm. He stared nervously at Xiao Luo, who was still smiling at him. All he could think at that moment was, what kind of monster is this man? Is his body made of steel?

“Do you want to spar with me as well?” Xiao Luo asked mockingly.

The man could not help but shiver as Xiao Luo had frightened him from the bottom of his heart. He thought to himself how formidable the people of this nation were, and neither he nor colleagues had expected the presence of such a powerful being.

“The Kennedy family would not let you off so easily...!”

His last resort was to use the Kennedy family name as a threat since he dared not spar with Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo reacted to the threat with a calm smile as he did not care about it. He would even beat up an emperor should he come, let alone a mere family from their nation.

“Cough, cough...”

A painful rasp was heard from behind the subordinate, and it was Leon. He had regained consciousness and was starting to vomit dark-colored blood as he panted heavily.

Xiao Luo frowned deeply as he could not figure out how Leon could even get up.

He then stepped toward Leon, but Su Li was faster and quickly grabbed his hand. For a moment, their eyes met.

“That’s enough. You’ve done enough already,” Su Li chided, eyeing him with a concerned look.

“Stop it, Xiao Luo. Leon is indeed a jerk, but he has been punished enough,” Shen Qingyan said. She joined Su Li in an effort to stop him.

Xiao Luo smiled and said, “Well...fine!” He then glanced at Su Li nonchalantly and added, “I’m not the one who got groped anyway.”

Su Li blushed again and let go of Xiao Luo as she stared at him angrily.

They both walked towards Leon, and he immediately felt terrified. There was nothing but fear in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Luo.

“Mr. Leon, so you had a bullet-proof vest on you. Seems like it’s a top-class quality vest too.”

Xiao Luo was suddenly relieved when he found out that Leon was wearing a layer of protective black innerwear underneath his shirt, which absorbed most of the impact. He still managed to break one of Leon’s ribs, but it would not be life-threatening.

“I...I am a candidate who could inherit the entire property and business of the Kennedy family, so my personal safety is of utmost importance...” Leon explained with much difficulty as he tried to endure the pain in his chest.

“Sounds about right. Your country allows its citizen to own guns legally. If someone plots to harm you, it makes sense to wear a bullet-proof vest when you’re out,” Xiao Luo said.

“Yeah...that’s right...”

Leon showed a hideous smile that looked worse than a crying face. It was an utter humiliation to be so servile after getting beaten up.

“That’s enough then. Mr. Leon, go to the hospital at once, and don’t die!” Xiao Luo decided to let him go since he was quite lucky.

Leon’s two subordinates were very grateful, and they escorted Leon away from the scene as quickly as possible.

When they were leaving, Leon cried, and he had been so unlucky today. On top of losing three hundred million, he was thoroughly beaten up and could not even afford to be mad about it. He had never experienced such a humiliating day ever in his entire life. At that moment, all he was thinking about was to get out of Hua nation as soon as possible, and he had no intention to date Su Li anymore.

“Did Mr. Leon cry?”

Shen Qingyan heard a faint cry and asked curiously.

“It’s better to let it out. He has gone through a lot today.” Xiao Luo said, then he flashed an innocent smile.

Su Li stared at him angrily as she felt he was the primary cause of this entire farce but was suddenly acting innocent.

BOOM~

A clap of thunder rumbled as dark clouds formed over the sky, indicating that it would soon rain heavily.

Xiao Luo looked up and said, “It’s gonna rain soon.”

“Seems it’ll be a heavy downpour.” Shen Qingyan opined.

“Stop wasting time, and let’s go back now.” Su Li said.

******

******

Just as Xiao Luo drove Shen Qingyan’s Jaguar out of North Hengshan Resort Hotel, it started to rain heavily. It was a heavy downpour, and although it was no gale, the sheer magnitude of the rain was still challenging. The rain caused a veil of white mist to form, and that made driving hazardous.

“Drive slower, and be careful!” Su Li reminded.

The visibility in such a heavy downpour was terrible, and the road slippery. No one could afford to be careless even when they were excellent drivers.

Xiao Luo slowed down and activated the windscreen wipers, but visibility was still low. He could only drive at thirty miles per hour, which felt like a snail’s pace for a car such as this. But for the sake of everyone’s safety, that could not be helped. And since nobody was in a rush, there was no need for speeding.
