Chapter 614 The Wandering Swordsman 5
Bei Haishi was overjoyed and was about to flatter Shi Zhongyu when he heard Zhang San, who had been quiet for a while, burst into laughter: "The reward and punishment order is only given to the rightful owner. My brother and I thought we wouldn't be able to hand over this token today, but things have taken an unexpected turn. Since that's the case, I'll ask as usual, Chief Shi, will you accept this bronze token or not?"
Upon hearing this, the hall fell into an instant of silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Shi Zhongyu, waiting to see how he would respond.
In fact, Zhang San and Li Si had already heard about the various misdeeds of the Chang Le Gang in recent years, so they did not come to deliver the bronze medal with any real intention. Instead, they wanted to use this as an excuse to justify their killing spree.
They had calculated that Shi Zhongyu would run away as before, and that as long as Shi Zhongyu said "no," they could openly attack the Chang Le Gang.
With their martial arts skills, it would be no difficult task for them to slaughter the Chang Le Gang.
Unexpectedly, Shi Zhongyu seemed to have changed his nature. Not only did he not deny that Bei Haishi and the others called him "gang leader," but he also appeared calm and composed, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the two before they came.
Shi Zhongyu gently put down his teacup and said unhurriedly, "What difference does it make if I accept this bronze plaque? What difference does it make if I don't?"
Zhang San's smile remained unchanged: "Chief Shi, let's be frank. Based on what you and the Chang Le Gang have done in the past, you are not qualified to have a sip of Laba porridge on Xia Ke Island. So the real purpose of my brother and I coming here is to punish evil."
The words "punish evil" sent a shockwave through Bei Haishi and the rest of the Chang Le Gang.
With the fates of the Flying Fish Gang and the Iron Fork Society still fresh in everyone's minds, they knew that Zhang San was not bluffing.
If Shi Zhongyu still refuses the bronze plaque, the smiling man in front of him will likely transform into a deadly demon and slaughter everyone in the Chang Le Gang.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Shi Zhongyu with expectant eyes and bowed again: "We hope that the gang leader will uphold righteousness and save us from this dire situation."
Shi Zhongyu, however, didn't even look at the crowd. He tilted his head back slightly, leaned lazily against the back of his chair, and said in a clear and melodious voice, "Are you threatening me?"
These words were like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through the oppressive atmosphere in the hall.
Bei Haishi and the others suddenly changed color. They had already witnessed Zhang San and Li Si's skills and knew that the two men's strength was unfathomable.
If they were truly angered, everyone present would likely face certain death.
"Hehehe." Zhang San chuckled a few times. "I was just asking as usual, but Chief Shi refused to give a straight answer. He probably doesn't want to accept the bronze medal. That's perfect."
Before he finished speaking, the smile on Zhang San's face vanished instantly.
His figure moved like lightning, heading straight for Shi Zhongyu.
A colleague unleashed a palm strike, carrying a chilling killing intent, aimed directly at Shi Zhongyu's head—
"Be careful, child!"
Shi Qingmin was shocked and, disregarding everything else, immediately rushed forward to try and stop Zhang San's palm strike.
However, Zhang San's movements were too fast, and the two of them had no time to make any effective reaction.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang San had already approached Shi Zhongyu, and it seemed that his broad palm was about to land on Shi Zhongyu—
At this critical moment, the red mark that had disappeared from Shi Zhongyu's forehead reappeared, and a vast amount of mental power surged out from the mark, quickly weaving an indestructible barrier in front of him. This barrier was like an invisible shield, successfully blocking Zhang San's fatal blow for him.
Although Zhang San's palm strike was fierce, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea in front of the barrier formed by this mental power, and failed to cause any damage to Shi Zhongyu.
