Chapter 12: Arrogance Followed by Humility

"Young people these days really have some nerve. After beating up Brother Xiaohu, they dare to come here and cause trouble. Scarface, since they want to collect a debt from me, go and bring them in."

Duan Wei ordered Scarface. Since Zhou Lang had taken down so many of his men, if he didn't capture and teach Zhou Lang a lesson, where would he save face in the underworld?

Although he had previously scolded Brother Xiaohu, he was still very fond of him. His brother had died early, and his wife had not given birth to any children, so he treated his nephew, Brother Xiaohu, like his own son. If he hadn't pampered Brother Xiaohu so much, Brother Xiaohu wouldn't have been so lawless.

"Yes, Boss." Scarface acknowledged and went out.

A few minutes later, Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou were brought into the large room where Duan Wei was. Before this, Zhou Lang had already taken down a dozen or so bouncers in the KTV. However, since he was ultimately a student, he didn't use excessive force, and those dozen unlucky guys only suffered some external injuries.

"Brother Scarface, beat this kid up for me! I was just looking for them, and now they've delivered themselves to my door!" Brother Xiaohu jumped up from the sofa, his eyes gleaming with malice, as he pointed at Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou.

"Wait." Scarface was about to make a move, but Duan Wei, who was smoking a cigar, waved his hand and spoke up to stop him.

"Uncle…" Brother Xiaohu looked at Duan Wei, puzzled.

"Don't be so impatient when doing things." Duan Wei said to Brother Xiaohu, then turned to look at Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou, slowly saying, "Young man, you say that I, Duan Wei, owe you money. Why don't you tell me when I borrowed money from you? If you are spouting nonsense, I'll break one of your legs each as a lesson, so you understand that not every place can be barged into so casually."

"Brother Xiaohu and your men kidnapped my friend last night, took my friend to the riverbank, and stole my friend's money. Today, we are here to take that money back." Zhou Lang said, neither humble nor pushy.

If it were in the past, he would never have dared to ask a big thug like Duan Wei for money. But now that his strength had increased, his mindset had changed inadvertently. In his eyes, Duan Wei was just an ordinary person, as ordinary as could be.

"Looking to collect money from me? In Feiyun City, you're the first one. By causing such a scene in my KTV, you've definitely affected my business. Seeing that you're a poor wretch, I'll just have to keep something from you as compensation." Duan Wei sneered and gave a wink to his subordinate, Scarface.

Scarface rubbed his nose and strode towards Zhou Lang. Although Zhou Lang had previously taken down a dozen or so people, he didn't take it to heart because he was the number one fighter under Duan Wei and had some reputation in Feiyun City.

This guy didn't say a word and threw a sweeping kick towards Zhou Lang. His leg technique was very powerful, even carrying the sound of whistling wind.

A look of triumph appeared on Brother Xiaohu's face. The force of Scarface's kick was at least several hundred jin; he had broken many people's legs in the past.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Lang made a move very casually. Before Scarface's kick could land on him, he grabbed his belt and easily threw Scarface away.

Bang! Scarface was slammed into the wall and then fell to the ground. Ah!

Duan Wei couldn't sit still anymore, and Brother Xiaohu was pale with fear. They hadn't expected that Scarface, who could run rampant in Feiyun City, would be so vulnerable in front of Zhou Lang. The girl who was massaging Duan Wei screamed in terror.

"I'm going to kill you!" Scarface struggled to stand up from the ground. He was unwilling to accept defeat and grabbed a steel pipe as thick as a baby's arm from the corner of the room, charging at Zhou Lang.

But suddenly, his vision blurred, and the steel pipe was somehow already in Zhou Lang's hand.

"Is this all you've got, and you still want to break my leg?" Zhou Lang snorted coldly and used a little force, bending the steel pipe into a '7' shape.

Scarface stood frozen on the spot. This steel pipe was as thick as a baby's arm; without several thousand jin of strength, could one bend it so easily? In that case, was Zhou Lang even human? This was simply a god-like existence!

Duan Wei and Brother Xiaohu were also terrified and couldn't believe the scene before them. The girl behind Duan Wei was so scared she almost fainted.

Only Zhao Xiaorou had a look of triumph on her face. Her eyes swept over Duan Wei and the others, and what made people feel strange was that she didn't feel too shocked by Zhou Lang's Divine Power.

Zhou Lang used a little force, and the steel pipe bent into a '7' shape was pulled straight again. Repeating this a few times made Duan Wei and the others tremble with fear. Damn, this kind of Divine Power was not something a Mortal could possess.

"Scarface, back off! Brother Xiaohu, kneel down to this gentleman and Young Miss immediately and apologize!" Duan Wei, after all, was a big thug who had seen some of the world, and he was the first to react, yelling at Scarface and Brother Xiaohu.

"Uncle…" Scarface backed away with a look of terror, but Brother Xiaohu was unwilling to kneel down easily.

"I told you to kneel down and beg for forgiveness from this gentleman and Young Miss. Are you deaf?" Duan Wei said sternly. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, walked angrily to Brother Xiaohu's side, and slapped him loudly across the face.

Brother Xiaohu was truly scared this time. With his legs trembling, he walked in front of Zhou Lang and Zhao Xiaorou and knelt down.

"Get up. Just take out the money you robbed yesterday." Zhou Lang said indifferently. He used to be just an ordinary student, but now, his words carried a sense of authority.

"Brother Scarface, where is the money?" Brother Xiaohu stood up and said to Scarface.

How could Scarface dare to say even half a word of refusal? He took out a bulging wallet, took out all the money inside, and handed it to Zhou Lang with both hands.

Zhou Lang's Divine Power was extraordinary, and even Duan Wei had to be polite to him. How could he dare to go against Zhou Lang?

"Check if the money is missing anything." Zhou Lang threw away the steel pipe and handed the money to Zhao Xiaorou.

"Not a single cent missing." Zhao Xiaorou said.

"Then let's go." Zhou Lang turned around to leave.

"Sir, Young Miss, please stay." Duan Wei said after hesitating for a moment.

"What, do you have any other advice?" Zhou Lang said indifferently.

"I wouldn't dare… I wouldn't dare. I have a few words I'd like to say to you both, so please give me a chance." Duan Wei said in fear and trepidation, then instructed Brother Xiaohu and the other two, "You all go out first, and don't let anyone come in to disturb us."

Brother Xiaohu, Scarface, and the girl who was massaging Duan Wei walked out, looking confused.

"May I ask how to address you, Sir and Young Miss?" Duan Wei's attitude became increasingly respectful.

"What, do you want to retaliate against us in the future? I am Zhou Lang, and my friend is Zhao Xiaorou. If you have the ability, feel free to retaliate, but I won't be as easy to talk to as I am today." Zhou Lang said coldly. Although he had never been involved in the underworld, he knew a thing or two about the methods of these big thugs.

"This time it was my nephew and my subordinate who were in the wrong. You are an expert, Sir, how could I dare to retaliate?" Duan Wei became even more terrified. He took out two cards and handed them to Zhou Lang. "This is a small token of my appreciation; please accept it, Mr. Zhou."

"What is this?" Zhou Lang asked, puzzled.

"One is a bank card with 500,000 in it, as compensation for the two of you. The other is the Supreme VIP card for my KTV, which allows you to enjoy free consumption permanently." Duan Wei said. He had several properties in Feiyun City and a net worth of nearly 100 million. Being able to reach such a position, he had some discernment. Seeing Zhou Lang's extraordinary martial arts skills, he knew that Zhou Lang was not an ordinary person, so he had the intention to befriend him.
