Chapter 688: How Dare You?
by xennovelBook – Chapter 688: How Dare You? (Update 1)
In the moment Xiao Yu reached out his hand, everyone’s vision blurred. Lin—
The middle-aged man was hoisted high by the throat.
Everything happened in a flash, leaving no time for anyone to react.
“This is the Dragon Kingdom.”
Xiao Yu stared calmly at the middle-aged man, whose eyes rolled in his struggle midair. “Why are you so arrogant? Is it because these ants surrounding you mean nothing?”
His words weren’t a taunt—they stated nothing more than a fact.
As a true traveler from another world, he was the epitome of a badass.
Anyone who had ever tried to show off to him was long since lining up at the underworld’s gate.
What right do you have?
The so-called ants Xiao Yu mentioned were now both furious and panicky.
They launched a frenzied assault on him in an attempt to save the middle-aged man.
A pair of powerful legs swung out like a weapon.
As his legs swept through the air, one figure after another was sent flying.
While bodies, broken and battered, littered the ground around him,
Xiao Yu stood as immovable as a mountain, his upper body completely still.
He felled a group of them solely with his legs…
The middle-aged man’s eyes rolled, his tongue lolling out, his face turning a deep shade of purple.
In another ten seconds, he’d suffocate.
With a flick of his arm, Xiao Yu tossed the middle-aged man to the ground.
Xiao Yu watched the gasping man as if he were an insignificant insect.
The dignified aura of the middle-aged man evaporated.
Terror-stricken, he looked at Xiao Yu, desperate to rise.
“Bang!”
Xiao Yu’s foot landed squarely on the man’s face. “I told you to get up?”
The middle-aged man trembled, too afraid to move, dreading that Xiao Yu might end his life.
“Who are you?” Xiao Yu asked in a cold tone.
“Li Xiongyu… the Xu Fu cruise ship is mine!”
The middle-aged man answered obediently.
“Xu Fu… cruise ship?”
Xiao Yu paused in confusion.
Oh, a luxury cruise ship?
Why would Little Xi Ba know about ‘Xu Fu’ and why name a cruise ship that?
There are two ‘legendary’ versions online, both relating to Xu Fu.
The first version claims that during the pre-Qin era, Xu Fu set sail with five hundred young men and women in search of the elixir of immortality for Emperor Qin.
The second says Xu Fu deceived Emperor Qin, taking five hundred youths out to sea, only to secretly return to land—those children eventually evolving into the Koreans.
Xiao Yu found the first version more plausible.
The second version… well, EMMM.
For someone who proudly claimed foreign ancestry—insisting even the Four Great Inventions originated with them—and believed that the world’s origins lay with Kimchi Land, could it really be a problem to call Xu Fu their ancestor?
Li Xiongyu?
A 42-year-old from Seoul, head of the maritime division under a major conglomerate.
He managed the company’s maritime tourism, which operated two cruise ships—a large one and a smaller one…
Yet, as Xiao Yu recalled the man’s details,
A sudden, ominous feeling surged from within him.
Danger was brewing… Xiao Yu turned his gaze to the dining table.
The table was square, covered with a tablecloth that hid what lay beneath.
The threat was lurking there!
Boom!
Gunfire rang out.
A bullet grazed past Xiao Yu’s temple.
An overwhelming will to survive can unlock hidden potential.
Had he not jerked his head at the hint of danger,
even Rhino’s Defense couldn’t have deflected that bullet.
He was dead meat!
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and raised his leg.
Boom!
He kicked the table over.
A man crouching on the floor, gripping a pistol, came into view.
Bang, bang, bang!
Gunfire erupted, aimed relentlessly at Xiao Yu.
But it was too late.
Just as Xiao Yu readied himself and activated Ghostrider Mode,
any would-be shooter hadn’t even had a chance to be born.
Before the next shot rang out, Xiao Yu’s body not only dodged but also arced gracefully,
landing right in front of the shooter, whose face contorted in shock and disbelief.
His leg swept like a battle axe.
Crack!
The man’s gun-wielding arm was shattered by the forceful kick.
To Xiao Yu’s surprise, an astonishing scene unfolded.
A gust of wind rushed past his ears.
Xiao Yu raised his hand.
Bang!
It was his arm that blocked an incoming kick.
Who was attacking?
Xiao Yu slowly turned his head to see Li Xiongyu retracting his leg.
Huh?
Who could have imagined that this seemingly weakling actually knew some moves…
No, don’t belittle martial arts.
Taekwondo?
He recalled someone once mentioning,
Taekwondo is a flashy form of combat.
It can make legs dance with flair.
But… what good does that do?
As Li Xiongyu soared into the air, executing an ostentatious downward strike,
Xiao Yu merely swung his fist lightly—without even resorting to Bear Force.
Bang! The punch landed squarely between his opponent’s legs.
“Aaaahhh!”
A gut-wrenching scream echoed out.
Thud.
Li Xiongyu crumpled to the ground, clutching his groin as he writhed in agony.
In the fighting world, there’s a saying: ‘A good leg attack only goes as far as the knee.’
Meaning what exactly?
Any high leg attack is inherently dangerous.
Without rules,
someone like Xiao Yu could end you with a single punch or a swift front kick.
In mere moments, you’d understand what true cruelty is!
How dare you jump up and attack with your legs—who do you think you are?
Another gust of wind swept from behind him.
Xiao Yu nearly chuckled, leaning back slightly.
A powerful leg sliced over his head.
As he leaned back, Xiao Yu threw another punch.
Bang…
He repeated the same move a second time.
“Ugh!”
The man with the broken arm clutched his groin with one hand and collapsed.
No more leg tricks—learn your lesson!
Xiao Yu straightened up and scanned the two figures sprawled on the ground.
Suddenly,
Xiao Yu swiftly crouched low.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Gunfire and explosions resounded in the distance.
A rifle… Xiao Yu, now rolling, felt his heart sink.
Why was there an assault rifle?
This was supposed to be domestic soil…
No, this cruise ship belonged to Kimchi Land.
Smuggling a gun past customs on a cruise ship would be nearly impossible to detect.
(Wang Hao Zhao) Xiao Yu recalled the soldiers he had dispatched earlier, now eyeing the commotion not far away.
He saw two men in suits wielding rifles, firing at him with wild abandon.
Their every move—their stance while shooting—was unmistakably that of trained soldiers!
Another mystery unraveled.
For those who can afford a cruise ship, money for organ transplants is trivial, isn’t it?
The National Security investigation revealed that those foreigners undergoing suspicious organ transplants on domestic soil were either rich or well-connected.
So… they weren’t in it for profit at all?
Were some people treating the Dragon Kingdom and its citizens as free organ suppliers?
They even deployed soldiers for protection.
All to provide organ transplant services for the affluent and powerful?
An endless surge of murderous intent welled up in Xiao Yu’s heart.
How dare you?
