Chapter 160 - Death

Turning around Wang Ming saw Hou Zhenan's underlings the one who talked was the same man who had crippled Wang Ming. Even if he dies, Wang Ming would still remember the man that kept stomping on his body. He didn't think that HouZi Gang would still act so wildly even after Hou Zhenan died.

Fatty Xiang's face paled the moment he saw HouZi Gang coming. He thought they were here for him, but when he heard they were here for Wang Ming. He felt complicated. What had Wang Ming done to have the HouZi Gang on him? Even though Fatty Xiang owes them money at most, there would only be 2-3 people coming to threaten him, but there had to be at least twenty people here. He didn't know if he should back up Wang Ming or not if he did then it might ruin his life.

After contemplating for a few seconds, Fatty Xiang walked up to Xia Jiang. He had seen him a few times as he usually patrolled around here with Hou Zhenan before. Fatty Xiang doesn't know too much about the HouZi Gang, but one thing he knows is that Xia Jiang has a fairly influential position in the HouZi Gang.

"Brother Xia, what can I do for you today? Did my brother here offend you? If he did, then we'll apologize just please let us go."

Xia Jiang didn't bother with Fatty Xiang at all and just gave him a punch right in his face. He even spat on Fatty Xiang, who had fallen to the ground, clutching his face. "Who are you to plead with me? What is your background? There's few people in Liaoling city that can make me reconsider this. Big Brother Hou wanted Wang Ming dead before he died, it's my responsibility as his underling to finish his wishes."

"Wang Ming, you should have just dropped dead the last time, but we lost over 15 brothers because of you. They were all killed because you called the police at the factory! I will avenge them today." Wang Ming thought he would want revenge because Wang Ming had killed Hou Zhenan, but it didn't seem like the news had circulated yet. Peng Tong's underlings are truly loyal if it had been any other group then the whole Liaoling city would know that Wang Ming killed Hou Zhenan now.

Though Wang Ming had no doubts that the news would spread soon, Peng Tong had caught most of Hou Zhenan's underlings that night, Wang Ming knows that some will snitch. Wang Lei also knows, if he wants to turn on Wang Ming then he only needs to release the news, that's why Wang Ming needs to become more powerful to protect everybody.

"What is this nonsense? You guys wanted to kill me, so your brothers got killed. You can kill me, but I can't kill your people? How hypocritical can you be? If you want to kill me, just try. Why do you need to justify it with such a stupid reason?"

Xia Jiang felt his face go red. He wanted to find a reason to justify his actions, but Wang Ming had completely shut this down. Feeling anger cloud his mind, Xia Jiang didn't care anymore. "Boy's f.u.c.k him up, just kill him and his friend, I'll cover for you the one that kills Wang Ming, I'll give 20 thousand yuan." Tempted by the reward Xia Jiang's underlings all rushed at Wang Ming luckily Fatty Xiang had pulled back already or else they would have caught him first.

If it had been before, it would have scared him to confront the 15 people in front of him, but not anymore. He still felt nervous as it's the first time he faces so many people at once, but since they don't have weapons, Wang Ming didn't believe they could hurt him.

Fatty Xiang's office is fairly narrow so the 15 men couldn't storm Wang Ming together, only 4 could get at him at most. Which made the fight a lot easier for Wang Ming he didn't even need to use the techniques his Shifu had taught him, for the first 4 men who came up, he grabbed the two men in front and smashed their skulls together, then punched the guys rushing up on his side once in their face each, which knocked them out cold.

Seeing that Wang Ming cleaned up 4 men so fast, the other men felt hesitant, but Xia Jiang raised the reward from 20 thousand to 50 thousand, which got the rest of the men to forget their reasoning and rush Wang Ming down. It didn't take long for Wang Ming to deal with all the guys Xia Jiang sent at him. He kept knocking down each man who came up to challenge him. They hadn't even landed a single hit on him as he casually dodged left and right. These guys could clearly not fight at all.

"Haha! I got you now!" Wang Ming hadn't noticed, but one of Xia Jiang's men had sneaked behind him and grabbed one of Fatty Xiang's wooden chairs. With a loud shout he tried to smash it right over Wang Ming's head, sadly for him with Wang Ming's fast reflexes he turned back and punched right through the chair hitting the man right in the c.h.e.s.t which made him cough up a pool of blood.

It took only a few minutes Wang Ming had cleaned up all of Xia Jiang's men. Some were fortunate and had been knocked out by Wang Ming's hit others were lying on the ground m.o.a.ning in pain. Xia Jiang couldn't believe his eyes, the man who couldn't fight just a few months ago now beat up all his men, even though they aren't great fighters any of them, even he wouldn't be able to beat all of them in a full out brawl.

Seeing Wang Ming's dangerous eyes who were now locking in on him, Xia Jiang felt his legs tremble. He's a man that would bully the weak, but be docile like a mouse when confronted with someone stronger than him. "Brother Wang, let's talk about this, okay?"

Xia Jiang inched closer and closer to Wang Ming, trying to beg Wang Ming he even went on his knees, crawling almost like a dog, he crawled closer. Wang Ming didn't know what the man was doing, but seeing him throw away all his face, he thought about letting him go. He didn't have any plans in killing him, anyway.

"Well, since you're begging me, then I only have 1 condition, give me Fatty Xiang's debt papers then you can go."

Xia Jiang looked unwilling but pulled out a bundle of papers from his jacket pocket and found the one Fatty Xiang's father had signed. "If someone finds out about this I'll be dead, please just let me go after this." Wang Ming thought it's weird for Xia Jiang to walk around with a big bundle of paper in his pockets, but he later found out it's normal as they go around with it, so they can keep track of who owes them money.

Xia Jiang crawled all the way over to Wang Ming and handed him the paper, when Wang Ming looked at the paper it looked like to be the real thing, though he wasn't sure if the name on it is right, so he gave it to Fatty Xiang to check. But right when Wang Ming turned around Xia Jiang finally struck, like a snake in the grass, he waited for an opportunity. With a knife in hand, he stabbed Wang Ming right in the stomach, though what he didn't expect is that Wang Ming didn't panic or fall down after he stabbed his stomach.

Wang Ming grabbed Xia Jiang's arm, stopping the knife to penetrate too deep. With significant force he pulled the knife out of his stomach and stabbed it back right into Xia Jiang's throat, killing him immediately.
