"With your physique, breaking one or two ribs shouldn't be fatal. Are you planning to speak up voluntarily, or do you want me to beat you until you do?"
Sun Jian increased the pressure of his foot, causing the burly man to grimace in pain.
"Slap, slap, slap!"
At that moment, a burst of applause suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Hahaha, what a skilled young man!"
Upon closer inspection, it was an old man dressed in luxurious brocade robes and wearing a purple crown.
The old man was about fifty-five years old.
He was dressed in fine clothes, meticulous from head to toe, even his hair was clean and tidy.
The only flaw was that he had a weathered face, graying temples, and even his mustache was completely white.
His eyes were deep-set, yet exceptionally bright and clear, possessing a shrewdness and insight beyond that of ordinary people, making it seem as if no one could understand what he was thinking.
Seeing the old man step forward, Sun Jian raised an eyebrow and asked coldly.
"What? You want to stand up for him?"
"No, young friend, you are mistaken. I am standing up for you."
The old man looked Sun Jian up and down with his deep eyes, his expression a mix of a smile and something else, giving him an unfathomable air.
"Ha, to stand up for me?"
Sun Jian let out a cold laugh.
How dare you say such a thing!
"How exactly do you plan to get ahead?"
The old man smiled slightly and said slowly, "This is a bustling city. If you kill someone in the street right now, you and those you care about will not escape the law."
"Who said I was going to kill him?"
Sun Jian smiled helplessly.
This old man is really something, lying through his teeth.
Why did he step forward when he had defeated the strong man?
Do you think everyone else is a fool?
Anyone with eyes can see that the two of them are in cahoots.
"Hey old man, stop giving me that useless stuff."
"Aren't you his master?"
"Is this how you train your servants?"
Sun Jian pointed at the burly man lying on the ground with a look of disdain.
This burly man deliberately picked a fight and even insulted his wife; he deserves to die.
As for the motive, if it wasn't lust at first sight, then it must have been instigated by this old man.
Sun Jian continued to sneer, "Like father, like son. You old man are probably no better!"
Before the old man could say anything, two more figures darted out from behind him.
"presumptuous!"
"How dare you!"
The two men, one strong and one thin, one in front and one behind, shouted angrily at Sun Jian for being unreasonable.
If the old man hadn't stopped them, these two would probably have rushed up and fought Sun Jian again.
"Want to fight? I don't care, all of you come at me together." Sun Jian beckoned with his finger.
"I also want to see whether your bones are harder or my fists are harder."
"Kid! I advise you not to be so arrogant. Don't think you can run rampant just because you know a little martial arts. There are plenty of capable people in Da Gan who can beat you up." The burly man who was stopped by the old man said coldly, his eyes turning icy.
Sun Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly, then his expression darkened. "Ha, I spoke arrogantly? You bullied me first, then insulted my wife, and now you dare to call me arrogant?"
"The world is going to the dogs!"
Sun Jian turned to look at the old man in brocade and said, "Old man, although I don't know what your purpose is, judging from your luxurious clothes, you are not an unknown person. Your men are too presumptuous. Today I broke a few of his ribs as a lesson for you. I hope you can discipline your subordinates properly in the future!"
"you……"
Another burly man and a tall, thin man wanted to argue with Sun Jian, but the old man stopped them without even turning his head.
The old man's face showed neither joy nor anger, and he said calmly, "What a quick-witted young man."
After saying that, the old man glared at the burly man who was being trampled under Sun Jian's feet, "Since you are not as skilled as him, why don't you step down?"
"yes……"
The burly man who was being trampled under Sun Jian's feet had already lost the strength to struggle, but upon hearing the old man's command, he immediately endured the excruciating pain and tried to get up.
This scene left Sun Jian stunned.
Just who is this old man?
Not only does he have such capable subordinates, but he also manages to make them so obedient to him.
Even while enduring the pain of broken ribs, one must struggle to get up.
This old man must be of high status.
“Old man, I don’t care who you are. Allowing your slave to commit violence in the street, according to the laws of the Great Gan region, you’ll probably be spending some time in jail.”
"Hehe... Interesting."
The old man looked at Sun Jian with deep eyes and smiled faintly.
Sun Jian couldn't help but shudder at that gaze.
Holy crap!
Could this old man be gay?
“Young friend, I believe that this matter does not need to involve the government. You two are evenly matched and have become friends through fighting. We should resolve this matter peacefully.”
"I have prepared wine and food at Jude Restaurant. Please bring your wife along. Consider it his way of apologizing to you."
After saying this, the old man didn't care whether Sun Jian agreed or not, and turned to leave, heading towards the nearby Juede Restaurant.
Sun Jian was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Still want to eat? It's a miracle they didn't strangle them all.
Is Old Deng suffering from some serious illness?
It was clearly his subordinate who angered me first, yet he's acting like he's giving me a chance?
Who cares?
Even if you apologize and invite someone to dinner, how can you just step forward with your hands behind your back before the other party has agreed?
Sun Jian glanced at the old man who had just walked a few steps away as if he were a fool, and raised his voice, saying, "Old man, there's no need for dinner. I can let today's matter go, just keep a close eye on your servants from now on."
Today, this whole affair has made Sun Jian lose all interest in going shopping with his three wives, let alone having dinner with the person who's picking a fight with him.
Seeing Sun Jian gathering the scattered packages on the ground, preparing to leave.
The burly man who hadn't yet made a move glared fiercely at Sun Jian, then quickly caught up with the old man and whispered, "Master, this man... this man is arrogant and domineering, he looks down on everyone, and he even interrupted the Right General of the Golden Guard..."
"Um?"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man glared at the burly man with a murderous look.
The burly man trembled in fright and quickly changed his tune humbly: "He even broke Li Mu's ribs, are we just going to let him go like this?"
The old man sneered, but didn't stop. He kept his eyes fixed ahead and didn't turn his head. "Don't worry, he'll come up."
"Isn't Wang De still in the same place?"
The burly man looked behind him, puzzled, and suddenly realized that the old man's other thin follower was still standing there and had not followed. He then understood what the old man meant.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the old man's thin attendant first gave a few words of advice to Li Mu, the burly man whose ribs had been broken by Sun Jian.
Then, taking two steps at a time, they blocked the path of Sun Jian and his three wives.
"What? Is there something else?"
Sun Jian raised an eyebrow, his tone full of coldness.
If you don't accept eating, are you going to cause other trouble?
Is this never going to end?
"Young friend, you've misunderstood."
The thin follower chuckled twice, his attitude sincere, showing no hostility.
"Young friend, do you know who my master is?"
"Who the hell do I care who he is? What does it have to do with me? Get out of my way!"
