Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: How a Pig’s Head is Made

Xu Ke’s suit was somehow draped over his arm, and the sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up to his elbows, exposing his veined arms.

There was a smile on his face, but it was a smile without any warmth, sending shivers down one’s spine with just a glance.

The man shivered.

"Why aren’t you talking anymore? Weren’t you having a great time chatting? Keep going," Xu Ke said with an expressionless face.

"I’ve said enough. I don’t want to talk anymore," the man said dryly, his mouth opening.

"But it didn’t seem that way just now. You seemed to be speaking joyfully. It looked like you could go on for quite a while, not like you were running out of words," Xu Ke said.

"It’s all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding," Wang Donghai glanced at the underling who was sobbing into his hands, his forehead beaded with sweat, his voice getting weaker.

He thought to himself that this might have been a misstep, fearing he’d run into a tough opponent.

"Then why aren’t you laughing anymore? Weren’t you laughing so arrogantly just now? Go ahead, laugh," Xu Ke shifted his gaze to another of Wang Donghai’s underlings, squinting as he asked.

Unlike Wang Donghai, the underling beside him didn’t have much insight. Though he was also wary of Xu Ke’s combat power, he still spoke up, "Do you know who my big brother’s father is? You dare lay hands on us, you’re asking for death. My big brother is kind-hearted and doesn’t want to argue with you, but I must stand up for him. I’ll give you a chance to kneel and apologize sincerely to my big brother, pay for sending my brother to the hospital, medical fees, mental damages, and whatnot cheerfully, and we’ll spare you. Otherwise, when my big brother’s father steps in, you won’t find a foothold in Ziluo City anymore." The underling placed his hands on his hips and declared fearlessly.

Despite his wariness of Xu Ke’s combat power, Wang Donghai felt reassured thinking about his father. His eyes, when looking at Xu Ke, showed less fear, and his previously slumped posture straightened up.

"He’s right. Now, if you kneel at my feet and sincerely apologize and atone, compensate my brother a million or so, I will let you go. If you can’t produce this money, use the two women behind you to cover it," Wang Donghai’s eyebrows raised with arrogance, and his expression became frightening, "Of course, if you don’t want to use these two women, then I’ll tell my father. My father dotes on me and knows many people in Luo City. He can easily blacklist someone. So think it over, are you choosing the women or your future?"

"Kid, you have good looks; you better think carefully. You can find women again, but once your future is ruined, it’s ruined with no room for redemption. A man’s career is crucial, you should consider it seriously before speaking," the man stood there confidently, waiting to see Xu Ke’s face change expression, to see distress and pain on his face. Watching Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia’s disbelief and despair after knowing the man’s choice, then happily throwing themselves into his arms. Just thinking about it made his heart feel delighted like drinking a cold can of soda on a scorching summer day, feeling so content he could sigh at the sky.

"Heh," Xu Ke chuckled softly, turned and handed his suit to Lin Mengyao, speaking gently, "Hold my coat for me. I need to cleanse the air; it’s really stinky here." Having said that, he turned and walked toward Wang Donghai. They were only a couple of steps away, so before Wang Donghai could react, Xu Ke had already thrown another punch.

Wang Donghai instinctively closed his eyes, but once again felt a small breeze brushing past his ear, the next moment hearing the screams of the boastful underling who had been standing with hands on hips, leaving Wang Donghai trembling instinctually. His body shook, causing his excess flesh to wobble incessantly.

"Phew, it’s finally quiet," Xu Ke exhaled while looking at the man at his feet whom he had just knocked down with a punch. He turned his wrist at the same time.

The once arrogant underling was now experiencing the pain his companions had gone through, several teeth falling from his gums, mixed with blood, along with numbness and stabbing pain. The underling shivered while counting the teeth he spat out - a total of eight, causing him heartache and pain.

Another man who had been on the sidelines, previously laying low like a quail, witnessed his peer experiencing the same fate, and surprisingly, a hint of schadenfreude flashed across his face. At last, he wasn’t the only one in such a ridiculous state.

"The air does seem fresher, wouldn’t you say?" Xu Ke placed a hand on Wang Donghai’s shoulder, observing as his body shuddered violently, his facial flesh quivering in response.

"Yes, it does seem much better," Wang Donghai agreed, attempting to remove his shoulder from Xu Ke’s grasp. However, as soon as he had the intention to do so, the hand on his shoulder turned into an iron vice, squeezing so hard it felt like his bones were about to break.

"Let go, let go, quickly let go, it’s painful!" Wang Donghai squirmed, groaning in agony.

"Don’t move, if you stay still I’ll let go," Xu Ke increased the pressure gradually but his voice remained light-hearted, creating a strong contrast with his actions.

"Not moving, I won’t move, just let go," Wang Donghai, resembling a little chick, was held effortlessly in Xu Ke’s grasp. Upon receiving Wang Donghai’s assurance, Xu Ke relaxed his grip slightly, leaving Wang Donghai standing there, pale-faced, not daring to make any unnecessary moves.

"What did you say just now? What did you want me to do again, I didn’t hear you clearly, say it once more," Xu Ke patted Wang Donghai’s shoulder. Each time he patted, Wang Donghai quivered as if the previously squeezed area, inexplicably painful, shunned every touch.

Wang Donghai had never endured such suffering, had he not been afraid of embarrassment he would have cried out in pain long ago.

"I was saying, when you hit someone just now, did your hand get hurt? Maybe you should check it at the hospital, I have lots of tonics, see if there’s any you like. If not, I have a card here for you to buy whatever you prefer. If that’s not enough, I can ask my father since he’s wealthy and cares for me, surely he wouldn’t mind sparing some money," Wang Donghai put on an ingratiating smile, hoping Xu Ke would forgive him for being sensible.

"But I heard differently. Didn’t you say you need to kneel down and apologize to the three of us, and plead for our forgiveness?" Xu Ke deliberately ignored him, putting forth his own demand, simultaneously witnessing a masterful change of expression up close.

"I can’t agree to that; I have my own dignity. You can have as much money as you want, but as for me kneeling and apologizing, impossible," Wang Donghai bristled upon hearing Xu Ke’s terms. It was an utter joke, kneeling down here in public today, apologizing to these three people; how could he continue mingling in Luo City afterwards? If word spread in his circle, how could he face anyone?

"Do you think I’m negotiating with you?" Xu Ke’s eyes glinted with a chilly light.

Before Wang Donghai could respond, Xu Ke’s foot struck his knee, while the hand pressing down on Wang Donghai’s shoulder simultaneously forced him down. Before Wang Donghai could fully comprehend what was happening, he was already on his knees. noveldrama

"To avoid suffering, merely do as I asked. Understand that I am informing you, not seeking your consent. In my presence, you have no right to refuse," Xu Ke half-knelt on the ground, pulling on Wang Donghai’s neck to face him as he spoke.

"You can make me kneel, but you can’t make me kowtow! I’m telling you, Wang Donghai stands by my word, money you can have, but kowtowing and admitting wrongdoing, there’s no way," Wang Donghai withstood the pain from his knees, declared dismissively.

"You truly underestimate me," Xu Ke’s lips curled slightly.

Before Wang Donghai could react, Xu Ke’s hand holding his nape pressed sharply downward, making Wang Donghai’s head abruptly hit the smooth floor with a loud ’thud’ that sounded ever so sonorous. His senses were knocked erratically, leaving him utterly disoriented.

When Xu Ke lifted his head from the ground, Wang Donghai’s expression was slightly dazed, appearing somewhat confused.

Xu Ke slapped Wang Donghai’s face immediately, "How about now, are you awake?"

Xu Ke’s voice rang in Wang Donghai’s ear, immediately retrieving his scattered soul.
