Chapter 192 The Hippo Plan -Part 3
"Very sneaky technique. I like it." Yun smirked as she sent her thoughts to Jin as they saw many customers logging onto their Pandamonium accounts just to watch the fight unfold. That few Yuan for the subscription? It was well worth it to see such a bastard get a beating.
"I am not wrong, there are some minors in the store." He glanced sideways towards Bu Dong and Yue Han, which made Yun roll her eyes while maintaining her smile. Even Bu Dong and Yue Han bought the subscription just to watch the brutal violence that was happening in Panda Muscles.
"Wait, wait! Please wait!" Ji Ao was trying to get out of the mess he was in but there was really no way out. The storage rings were given to Shi Zuo and Xiong Da even ripped off his belt and shoes away in case of any hidden weapons. All he was left with were his pants.
However, Ji Ao could not run away even if he wanted to. Xiong Da had broken his spine into two and Ji Ao was in extreme pain. If it weren't for his cultivation, he would have already been paralysed and killed. What he did not understand was how Xiong Da managed to cultivate to a Grade similar to his in such a short period of time. "Was he not a Grade 1 Cultivator for the past few months? Did he take some demon drugs to gain this kind of insane power?" He accidentally voiced out his thoughts and these were overheard by Xiong Da.
"Drugs? Hahahahahaha!" Xiong Da grabbed Ji Ao by his neck and brought it close to his face. "The power of wealth and hard work. A mere jerk like you would not understand how desperate and determined I was to crush you." Xiong Da punched him in his stomach again, making Ji Ao feel like fainting before Xiong Da threw him to the ground again.
"You think you will get away with this? You think I will not come back even stronger just to bite you?" Ji Ao was bitter when facing his impending defeat yet Xiong Da was laughing loudly.
"Hahahahahaha!!! Do not worry, you will not find the opportunity to do so." Xiong Da went forward and kicked his opponent's face, causing him to fly to the corner of the boxing ring post.
"Bullshit! I will find you! I will crush you! I will make sure Ruo Ying suffers even more because of this!" Ji Ao could not even talk properly at this point but he could only curse Xiong Da in his thoughts.
"Hey, hey, no sleeping." Xiong Da brought Ji Ao's hand out of the boxing ring and stomped on it hard, causing it to dislocate entirely. For the next ten minutes, Xiong Da had his fun breaking him again and again before he asked Shi Zuo for his warclub to end his opponent- no, his victim's suffering immediately.
It was indeed a good thing that Jin had switched the channels off from the main store and directed them to the Pandamonium because it was indeed way too brutal. It was also in the interest of Xiong Da to not let Ruo Ying watch the full thing since she might not be able to take the brutality of it.
"Good. Let him die that way." Ruo Ying felt more satisfied than ever when Luo Bo showed her the broadcast, which discredited Jin's thought. "I guess the hate for him was more than just superficial." Jin reminded himself not to underestimate the other gender's feelings.
"Now that he is dead, he should be in the recovery instance. Time for Part 3 of the plan. Boss Jin, do you mind letting us enter the recovery instance?" Detective Xue Ping was ready to act on the next part of the plan with Se Lang. She might not have known Xiong Da directly but upon hearing the cruel things Ruo Ying had been subject to, Xue Ping could not wait to arrest this guy.
"Yes. I do mind." Jin shook his head which caused everyone to be surprised. They thought that Jin wanted to help Xiong Da catch this guy?
"The recovery instance is a highly controlled environment as well as part of a dungeon experience for other customers. The other customers have the right to rest. From what I see, we have things all under control. Besides, he has nowhere to run when he comes out of the recovery instance." Jin replied and he was not wrong.
Besides, from what Jin knew, the recovery instance did not have an entrance and only an exit. He did not query if it was part of the System's design but he would check it out once this entire thing blew over. He knew that only Milk and Yun were able to access it since he tried to do so a few times after he found out Peppers tried to enter it once but was denied access too.
"I understand, we will wait outside the exit of the recovery instance." Xue Ping beckoned Se Lang to follow her as they saw the hero of the day walking down the stairs. People started to cheer for him.
"Brother Xiong Da, that was intense, man! How did you get to Grade 4 so quickly?!" Bin Yong congratulated him.
"All thanks to Boss Jin. He worked hard for me too." Xiong Da laughed heartily but subsequently stopped because he saw that Ruo Ying was too guilty to look at him in the eye. He thanked the rest first for their support and his friends for coming to help him before approaching her.
"Hey," Xiong Da stood in front of her.
"...Thank you. Xiong Da." Ruo Ying did not dare to look at him in the eye for all the wrong decisions she had made. Xiong Da wanted to console her but he was interrupted by some loud shouts coming from the stairs.
"I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG! LET GO OF ME!" Ji Ao tried to struggle but Se Lang and Xue Ping's combined cultivation strength stopped him from escaping. Not to mention, he was handcuffed by an inscription that suppressed the strength of a cultivator, which made Ji Ao's mouth the only thing he was free to use.
"I have friends that will get me out. You watch out, hippo. Next time I see you, you will be hippo meat." Ji Ao snapped at them.
"Do not worry, those friends will join you." Xue Ping scoffed at him. The previous time that Xue Ping and Lee An had come to visit Jin after a raid was based on information from Xiong Da's private investigations. Ji Ao was not only going to face charges for forced imprisonment and assault but also for the pedalling of drugs too.
"Oh and remember the contract that you signed? It's a contract of forfeit. A forfeit of your entire material possessions too. See you in court for your charges." Xiong Da said with confidence.
"Court?!" Ji Ao was too angry to even think.
"You do not know him? Well then, doesn't it suck to be you. He is from HHH law firm." Se Lang pushed him out of the store and towards a waiting patrol car.
"Fatty… HHH law firm? Oh my god! You are that infamous attorney that co-founded a law firm at the age of 34?" Luo Bo suddenly understood why she had always felt that Xiong Da was so familiar.
"Oh, you know me?" Xiong Da stuck his tongue out to pretend to be innocent.
"How did you even have the time to work on cases when you were out here training?" Jin was pleasantly surprised too but Xiong Da just shrugged before Ruo Ying stared at him.
"I…" She tried to voice her own opinion. Xiong Da immediately turned back and said. "I am still the Xiong Da that you know and love. I too am sorry that I tried to hide things. I just wanted to see if someone was really genuine about me rather than just for my money. I am also sorry I was too weak to save you back then."
"And… I still like you." Xiong Da scratched his head as he said it so innocently.
"Idiot Xiong Xiong. Why did you say it out loud?" Ruo Ying nodded gently and finally showed a faultless smile as she poked Xiong Da's belly.
"I LIKE RUO YINGGGGGG!!" Xiong Da unhesitantly picked Ruo Ying up. The subject of his intimacy squealed a little before laughing. The rest of his friends were also happy that everything had ended well for him.
Xiong Da's efforts had finally paid off.
