Chapter 229 Fight
While Huo Xuan and Huo Lingyin were locked in a stalemate, Jiang Ran swaggered in, carrying a baseball bat.
Those people didn't sense any superpower fluctuations from her and treated her like an ordinary person. Even when she got close, they didn't give her a second glance.
Huo Yun was still pondering how to seek revenge for the injuries he had sustained today when a gentle greeting came from behind him. "Hi, how are you?"
Huo Yun turned around.
The baseball bat whistled through the air and slammed down on him.
Huo Yun was a superhuman after all, so his agility far surpassed that of ordinary people. As the baseball bat came crashing down, he decisively rolled to the side, his bulky body tumbling away like a ball under the bat.
Jiang Ran seemed to have anticipated his dodge, and the baseball bat, which was slamming down vertically, turned into a horizontal sweep before hitting the ground.
"Bang!"
Before Huo Yun even hit the ground, the baseball bat struck his side, sending him flying another two meters.
Jiang Ran scoffed, slung the baseball bat over her shoulder, and strode toward Huo Yun who was lying on the ground groaning.
"I heard you laid a hand on my man?" A sarcastic smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face. "Did you even bother to find out who I am before you did it?"
Who was this girl? Judging from her tone, she must have a powerful background. She came with Huo Lingyin. Could there be some other unknown relationship between them?
Stunned by the girl's oppressive aura, no one spoke except for Huo Yun's miserable screams.
"Listen, you filthy scoundrel, even if I beat you to death right here today, no one will dare to blame me."
After Jiang Ran finished cursing, she immediately swung her baseball bat and rushed over, chasing after Huo Yun and hitting him repeatedly, specifically targeting the fleshy parts of his body. It hurt, but it wasn't fatal.
Huo Yun threw two wind blades, but they landed on Jiang Ran without any reaction, as if they had been thrown into the sea.
In his shock, Huo Yun could only hide and dodge to avoid being beaten to death by Jiang Ran.
The scene turned into chaos and confusion.
Huo Heng stood beside Huo Lingyin and noticed that her shoulders were quivering slightly, but her face was calm and serene. He silently raised the corners of his mouth and ultimately didn’t say anything to stop Jiang Ran.
Never having seen anyone dare to be so presumptuous in front of him, and so enraged by the wailing and howling before him that he rolled his eyes in exasperation, Huo Xuan finally caught his breath and shouted, "Stop it, all of you!"
Huo Yun was his subordinate, and upon hearing his roar, he instinctively stood at attention.
Jiang Ran didn’t know Huo Xuan, so she simply ignored his roar.
As a result, Huo Yun, who had just stopped dodging, was hit on the back of the neck by Jiang Ran, who had caught up with him. His eyes rolled back and he fell straight to the ground.
Jiang Ran let out a breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and slung the baseball bat back over her shoulder. "That's it for today."
Before leaving, she kicked Huo Yun and said to Huo Xuan, "He's not dead yet. Take him to the hospital now. He should still be able to be saved."
Huo Xuan, "..."
Jiang Ran didn't take Huo Xuan seriously. Her gaze swept over everyone present, and she sneered, "You've all seen what happened to this guy. I have a bad temper. If anyone dares to mess with my man again, don't blame me for breaking his arms and legs."
As she finished speaking, she grinned at Huo Siguo, who was standing next to Huo Xuan—a grin full of sarcasm.
Thinking of his flirting with her, Huo Siguo shuddered inexplicably.
After uttering the threat, Jiang Ran put on a gentle smile. "I've taught the fool a lesson. You may carry on, carry on."
She ignored Huo Xuan and skipped back to Si Xu, handing him the baseball bat back. "Si Xu, I've already taught him a lesson, so don't be upset."
Si Xu patted her head, his attractive eyes sparkling with laughter and full of indulgence.
Huo Xuan gave a signal, and someone came up and carried Huo Yun away.
Another group of people came up and surrounded Jiang Ran and Si Xu.
Huo Xuan's lips curled into a cold, hard smile, like a bloodthirsty beast, as he walked step by step toward the two of them.
He was the second master of the Huo family, the second-in-command of the Huo family who controlled two superhuman teams. No, in fact, his status was no different from that of the first master. Everyone in the base had to bow and scrape to him with utmost respect. No one had ever dared to slap him in the face in front of so many people. No one had ever done so.
This woman beat Huo Yun unconscious right under his nose, and then acted as if nothing had happened, trying to get away with it.
No matter who she was, no matter who she was...
"Oh, Huo Xuan, I haven't introduced you yet." Huo Lingyin stopped Huo Xuan when she saw that things had gotten a bit out of hand, and smiled with her eyes narrowed. "This is Professor Si Xu, who came from the Xiling base for an inspection. The lady next to him is Miss Jiang Ran from the Shen family. Although this is your first time meeting Professor Si, you should have heard of his great name before."
Professor Si? Si Xu...
Huo Xuan was stunned.
He had heard of Professor Si of the Xiling base more than once—he remembered clearly the "glorious deeds" of him single-handedly taking on 67 superhumans in the early days of the apocalypse.
Among the superhumans killed that time, a group came from the Beichen laboratory.
For the laboratory's higher-ups, this name was synonymous with fear.
He had never met Si Xu, but he knew the name and the terrifying and ruthless nature of his methods.
Huo Xuan subconsciously clenched his fist, unsure of what expression to make to welcome this "distinguished guest".
Not many people present knew Si Xu's name, but judging from Huo Xuan's expression, they knew that this young man wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
Having intimidated Huo Xuan, Huo Lingyin added quietly, "Professor Si came here this time to finalize the cooperation between the Xiling and Beichen bases with Huo Sichan. Uncle Huo, if we can cooperate with Xiling, I think you'll feel more at ease, right?"
When Huo Lingyin got to this point, Si Xu nodded in agreement and then asked Jiang Ran, "Didn't you meet Huo Sichan? What did he say?"
He didn't say anything... Jiang Ran smiled and said, "We've agreed to meet at the loft tomorrow to talk about it."
If Xiling base decided to support Huo Sichan, she wondered how this second uncle of Huo Sichan would respond.
Would he give up the idea of vying for power, or decide to take a gamble?
Whichever decision he made, it’d be a good thing for Huo Lingyin and her brother.
Huo Xuan had heard about Si Xu's various deeds, but he had never witnessed them with his own eyes.
He didn't immediately tell the superhumans surrounding them to back off. He was considering whether to back down or make an example of them.
Ignoring the strangers surrounding them, Si Xu put his arm around Jiang Ran's shoulder and walked toward Huo Lingyin. His nonchalant attitude made Huo Xuan's heart waver even more.
Without orders, the superhumans looked around and reluctantly made way for them.
"We originally wanted to come and check it out, but your welcome home party turned out to be quite boring. We'll head back now and come visit again tomorrow."
He spoke so politely that Huo Lingyin was flattered. Wow, when did this person become so docile? Was she dreaming?
Without showing any emotion, Huo Lingyin instructed Huo Heng, "Heng, see the distinguished guests out for me."
Her plan was to send these two big troubles away as soon as possible that night.
