Chapter 615 A Show of Force
As I came downstairs, I saw Hu Fei wink at me, seemingly ready to leave at any moment. I smiled slightly at him, indicating that everything was fine.
Hu Fei looked puzzled, not understanding what I meant.
I went back upstairs to the second floor, and Shen Lin followed me downstairs. He stood in front of everyone and said, "I think you all know about Liu Tian's death, right?"
The people present looked at each other in bewilderment. They all basically already knew about this matter; if they didn't, then it would be a bit much.
Shen Lin continued, "Since Liu Tian is dead, his position cannot remain vacant. The boss has already decided who will replace Liu Tian."
As he said this, I saw several people in the crowd eager to try their luck; they all seemed to think they had a chance to take Liu Tian's place. Although Liu Tian's position required taking on some responsibilities, the benefits he could reap were correspondingly much greater than theirs, which was why many people wanted to move up.
Simply put, sleeping alone is more comfortable than sleeping with a bunch of grown men crammed together.
However, I wonder what these people would think if they knew that the boss had already decided on me.
Shen Lin then said, "The person the boss has chosen is someone you're all familiar with—Lu Xiaonan. He will succeed Liu Tian and become one of your leaders."
The people present reacted in different ways upon hearing this.
But they all turned to look at me.
Suddenly, Hu Fei and I were completely surrounded by empty space.
I glanced at the people present and found that their eyes were all different. Basically, they all had their own ulterior motives and thoughts. However, most of them still found it strange. Obviously, they couldn't understand why someone like me, who had only been there for a short time, could sit in Liu Tian's seat.
As expected, as soon as Shen Lin announced the news, some people stood up to oppose it.
"I disagree!" I didn't recognize the person who shouted, but he was tall and strong and looked quite formidable.
Shen Lin didn't stop him, but instead asked with a smile, "Why don't you agree?"
Hearing Shen Lin's question, I knew this guy had ill intentions and wanted to embarrass me.
This tall, burly man looked at me and said, "Because he doesn't deserve it!"
The people around him seemed to agree with him, nodding in agreement. I shook my head and smiled wryly; they really were just a bunch of followers.
However, Lao Guang and Yao Fei seemed to support me, silently standing in my direction, but they didn't say a word, seemingly not wanting to cause trouble.
Shen Lin asked with a smile, "Why wouldn't he be worthy? You know he was handpicked by the boss. Isn't it a bit much for you to deny it like this?"
At this moment, Lao Guang came to my side and said, "This guy's name is Wang Yufei. He used to have a pretty good relationship with Liu Tian, but after the boss came, he fell out with Liu Tian. I don't know why. Anyway, he was very jealous of Liu Tian's position before. Now that Liu Tian is dead, he will definitely try to take it from you."
"knew."
Wang Yufei didn't answer Shen Lin's question. He squeezed through the crowd and came to me. He was half a head taller than me, so he looked down at me with contempt in his eyes.
I wasn't afraid at all, and stared up at him.
"You weakling, how dare you steal my things?"
I asked, "Do you think you're very capable?"
Wang Yufei stared at me and sneered, "In short, I'm better than you."
I chuckled and said, "Really? How about a contest?"
Upon hearing this, the people around burst into laughter. Hu Fei and Lao Guang stared wide-eyed, seemingly finding my words hard to believe.
Wang Yufei smiled and said, "Okay, what do you want to compete in?"
I said, "Let's get straight to the point. Let's fight and see who can beat whom. If you can beat me, I'll give up my position unconditionally. If you can't, you'll have to listen to me from now on. If you try to resist, I'll kill you. Do you have any objections?"
Wang Yufei sneered, "What a joke! With your build, you think you can beat me?"
I said, "How will you know if you don't try?"
Wang Yufei said, "Alright, come on, everyone make way. Since this kid wants to play with me, I'll play with him. When I beat you to a pulp, don't come crying to your mom!"
The group of people around burst into laughter once again.
I stared at him expressionlessly. Everyone around us moved aside, leaving only Wang Yufei and me in the middle. He struck a pose and waved at me provocatively.
I smiled slightly and said provocatively, "What, so insecure about yourself that you want me to make the first move?"
Unable to bear my provocation, Wang Yufei snorted coldly, took a step forward and charged straight at me, his fist clenched tightly, aiming straight for my forehead.
I took two steps back, and he gritted his teeth and came right up to me.
Then, I suddenly waved my hand in front of his eyes. He thought I was going to attack, so he slowed down for a moment. In that instant, I seized the opportunity when he paused, rushed to his side, and slapped his neck.
Snap!
I delivered a powerful chop to his throat, leaving it completely blocked.
Wang Yufei clutched his neck, struggling to breathe, and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. I stood to the side, hands behind my back, staring at him kneeling on the ground, watching his pained expression, as if he were about to die.
The people around seemed a little worried as well.
I said, "Don't worry, he won't die. He'll just be in pain for a while."
Wang Yufei fell to the ground, clutching his throat as if he were suffocating. It took him a long time to recover. Once he could breathe smoothly again, he immediately stood up and rushed towards me.
I naturally wasn't going to let him come any closer, so I pulled out my gun and pointed it at his head, saying, "What, trying to renege on your debt after losing?"
Wang Yufei stared at the gun barrel and said unwillingly, "You're cheating!"
I laughed and said, "I cheated? Wang Yufei? Use your brain, will you? How did I cheat? Tell me, how exactly did I cheat?"
Wang Yufei's lips twitched, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
I said, "Let me tell you, don't think you're untouchable just because you have brute strength. I could blow your head off with one shot right now, but I didn't, because I want you to understand that you're not capable of sitting in this position. Just like Liu Tian, he wasn't qualified for this position either, which is why I killed him. Do you understand?"
Wang Yufei's face still showed great resentment.
I couldn't be bothered with him. I put down my gun, glanced at everyone, and said, "Listen up, all of you. I don't care what your lives were like before, but from today onwards, I will train you. If you don't want to die in the mouths of zombies, you'd better behave yourselves!"
