Chapter 239: Strong Background

The dozen or so thugs were no experts. Although their Aura was intimidating when they attacked together, it could only scare ordinary people. For a Martial Arts Grandmaster like the Poison Venerable, these people were not worth mentioning.

The Poison Venerable attacked again. With a series of muffled thuds, all dozen or so people were instantly defeated, knocked unconscious and left lying on the ground.

But the Poison Venerable was not a Cultivator after all; it took him nearly ten seconds to knock them all out. During this time, Wang Hu finally managed to draw his pistol.

"Yamamoto Yuki, I didn't expect you to have such an expert under your command."

Wang Hu aimed his gun at Yamamoto Yuki and said to the Poison Venerable, "You had better not move. If you move, I will blow Yamamoto Yuki's head off. You'd better not doubt my aim."

He was scared now and was looking for a way to escape unscathed, as he was the only one left standing out of the twenty-something people; the others had all been knocked unconscious.

The Poison Venerable was about ten meters away from Wang Hu. For an expert like him, covering this distance would take only a second, but with Wang Hu's skills, a second was enough to fire a shot.

The atmosphere became heavy, because with Yamamoto Yuki's abilities, dodging a shot from a sharpshooter at close range was not easy. After all, she was only a Master-level Martial Artist, and there was a huge gap between her and the Poison Venerable.

For a moment, Yamamoto Yuki, Muto Yukiko, and the Poison Venerable did not know what to do.

"Don't do anything reckless!"

Muto Yukiko said in a panic, preparing to step in front of Yamamoto Yuki to act as a human shield.

She was Yamamoto Yuki's subordinate and also her childhood friend. She was incredibly loyal to Yamamoto Yuki and could trade her own life for Yamamoto Yuki's.

"You had better not move. If you move, I, Brother Hu, will shoot. If you have the confidence to block my bullet, you can try."

Wang Hu said coldly. With a gun in hand, he felt much more confident, as if he were holding not just a gun, but the power to destroy the world. Judging by his current state, he was undoubtedly a sharpshooter.

"Put the gun down and throw it on the ground, otherwise, you will regret it!"

Just then, Zhou Lang spoke. His voice was cold and seemed to carry a kind of magic.

When Wang Hu heard this voice, he only glanced at Zhou Lang from the corner of his eye before being captivated by Zhou Lang's gaze. His entire being instantly became dull, as if he had forgotten where he was or what he was supposed to do.

He slowly lowered the hand holding the gun and then threw the gun to the ground.

Yamamoto Yuki, Muto Yukiko, and the Poison Venerable were shocked to see this. They vaguely understood that Zhou Lang must have controlled Wang Hu's mind, and they also knew that for ordinary people and Martial Artists, a Cultivator was invincible.

Xiao Xi was naturally unfazed by this scene, and Ivanova had also witnessed Zhou Lang using mental control on the Poison Venerable, so she didn't feel too shocked. But Li Mengxue, Zhao Xiaorou, Cao Yanzhi, and Yu Kexin really didn't understand why this Wang Hu was obediently listening to Zhou Lang.

The Poison Venerable reacted quickly, walking over to pick up Wang Hu's gun.

"Tell me, what is your name, and what company do you belong to?" Zhou Lang's voice continued.

"We are from the Juzi Group in the provincial capital, and my name is Wang Hu." Wang Hu's mind was completely controlled by Zhou Lang; he answered whatever Zhou Lang asked.

"Doesn't the Juzi Group deal in the manufacturing industry? Why are you meddling in this auction?"

Yamamoto Yuki became curious. She knew a little about the Juzi Group; it was also a company opened by Japanese people in China with strong strength. However, she had no dealings with this company and naturally had no grudges, but this time, her Iga Group and this Juzi Group had surprisingly clashed in Feiyun City.

Although Wang Hu's mind was controlled by Zhou Lang, he would only answer Zhou Lang's questions. As for Yamamoto Yuki's question, he was a bit dazed and just stood there foolishly without speaking.

"Speak," Zhou Lang said lightly.

"Our Juzi Group has now started to enter the real estate industry, because in China, real estate is a highly profitable industry. The company established a real estate division a few months ago, personally managed by our boss 'Kuroda Taro's' son, 'Kuroda Toshio'. The land that Young Master Kuroda takes a fancy to is not allowed to be competed for by anyone. Upon learning that the Iga Group also wanted to buy this land, Young Master Kuroda had me bring people to intimidate you, saying that as long as we revealed the name of the Juzi Group and Young Master Kuroda, you would obediently withdraw from the competition."

Wang Hu said immediately. After being controlled by Zhou Lang, he would tell everything Zhou Lang asked him to say.

"The Juzi Group certainly has a lot of nerve."

After hearing the words of 'Brother Hu' Wang Hu, frost appeared on Yamamoto Yuki's Face. She turned to ask Zhou Lang, "Brother Lang, should we teach this Juzi Group a lesson?"

"What is the background of this Juzi Group?" Zhou Lang asked.

"The boss of the Juzi Group, Kuroda Taro, is the Sect Master of our Japanese 'Hengdao School'. It is said that this person's martial arts are unfathomable and he is the number one martial arts expert in our Japan."

Yamamoto Yuki said, "Kuroda Taro not only has a high status in the Japanese martial arts circle but also has many achievements in business. It is no exaggeration to say that he is wealthy enough to rival a nation. However, in recent years, he has shifted his business focus to China because Japan's economy has been sluggish in recent years, while China's is thriving. I know Kuroda Taro, but I have no dealings with him and no grudges against him. I didn't expect to run into him in this matter."

"The number one martial arts expert in Japan, no wonder he is so arrogant."

Zhou Lang said, "Let the police handle this matter today. If 'Kuroda Taro' and 'Kuroda Toshio' father and son come to trouble us again, then I will not let them off."

"Brother Lang, whatever you say goes."

Yamamoto Yuki said. It is said that 'Kuroda Taro's' Cultivation is unfathomable. If she were to Face 'Kuroda Taro' alone, she would have no confidence at all, and she was even a bit fearful of the father-son duo 'Kuroda Taro' and 'Kuroda Toshio'.

After all, the 'Hengdao School' is now the largest martial arts School in Japan, much stronger than the 'Iga Clan'. If they really were to fight, the 'Iga Clan' would definitely not be able to defeat the 'Hengdao School'. But with Zhou Lang here, she had nothing to fear.

Immediately, Zhou Lang made a call to the Municipal Police Bureau Chief, Sun Yongkang, and gave a rough account of what had happened.

"Wang Hu and his gang all have criminal records. They are too pathetic; actually acting as thugs for the Japanese. It's really a disgrace to us Chinese. Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will bring people over immediately to arrest this gang. Wang Hu and his people have been involved in fights and brawls many times before. This time, I will send them all to prison!"

After Sun Yongkang roughly understood the situation, he was also very angry and immediately promised Zhou Lang. You have to know that he is a retired soldier and hates soft-boned people like Wang Hu the most.

"Then I will have to trouble Chief Sun."

Zhou Lang said politely and hung up the phone.

…

Police Chief Sun Yongkang led the team to handle the case personally, so the efficiency was naturally very high.

In just over ten minutes, police cars came roaring over.

Not long after, the police handcuffed Wang Hu and his gang and loaded them into the police cars. The Poison Venerable also handed Wang Hu's gun to the police.

Up until this moment, except for Wang Hu, the people Wang Hu brought were all unconscious.

Gathering a crowd to commit violence and even using a gun, this charge was not light. Plus, Wang Hu and his gang all had criminal records, so it was estimated they would all be sent to prison.

Only then did Zhou Lang release his mental control over Wang Hu.

"Where is this? Who the hell dares to arrest me? Why don't you let me go?"

Wang Hu, whose mind had returned to normal, started screaming and making a scene in the police car. At this time, he still didn't understand that he had been arrested by the police.

"What are you making a scene for? Intentional injury and using a gun, do you think you don't have to go to jail?" A burly policeman under Sun Yongkang opened the car door and shouted coldly at Wang Hu.

"You dare to arrest me? Do you know who I work for?" Wang Hu was still very arrogant. It seemed he thought his backers, Kuroda Taro and Kuroda Toshio, could fix anything.

"Wang Hu, don't think I don't recognize you just because you became a dog for the Japanese? You have been in and out of the detention center for fighting and brawling every year. Which policeman in Feiyun City doesn't know you?"

The burly policeman said, "You had better shut your mouth immediately, otherwise, I will use my colleague's smelly socks to plug your mouth. I tell you, he has athlete's foot."

"Stinky cop, don't judge me by the past. I used to be a low-class punk, but now I am the captain of the security team for the real estate division of the Juzi Group. Otherwise, how could I have become a sharpshooter? You'd better go and find out who my boss, Mr. 'Kuroda Toshio', is before you arrest me. If you don't let me go now, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

But Wang Hu still refused to shut up and continued to yell in the car. He thought 'Kuroda Toshio' would definitely be able to protect him.

Zhou Lang and Sun Yongkang and others naturally heard Wang Hu's arrogant words.

Zhou Lang frowned slightly. Wang Hu was just a lackey that 'Kuroda Toshio' of the Juzi Group had taken in in China, and he was already this arrogant. Then, to what extent would 'Kuroda Toshio' himself be arrogant? What would 'Kuroda Toshio's' father, 'Kuroda Taro', be like?

"Make this guy shut up!"

Seeing Zhou Lang frown, Sun Yongkang immediately shouted to his subordinates.

He had always been extremely disgusted by lackeys like Wang Hu, not to mention that Wang Hu had provoked someone like Zhou Lang, who could not be provoked. Now that he knew Zhou Lang had a close relationship with the Municipal Party Secretary Lei Gang, and also had an unusual relationship with Governor Zhao Cang, he was naturally happy to give Zhou Lang some Face and teach this bastard Wang Hu a lesson.

The burly policeman had long been unable to bear Wang Hu's arrogance. After receiving Sun Yongkang's order, he stuck his head into the police car and said to a colleague with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, I need to borrow your socks today."

"Brother Li, let's not do that, right."

A young policeman outside the car said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Xiao Zhang, don't be embarrassed. Anyway, even the Chief knows about your athlete's foot. This kid Wang Hu is too arrogant, but as police, we can't just beat people up at will, so we need to use your socks. Let's fumigate him properly and make this guy quiet down."

The burly policeman laughed.
