Chapter 490 - Smackdown

"How much does he owe you guys?" asked Adam as he reached the three thugs from the Black Dragon Gang.

Liao Wei when faced with them couldn't help but be afraid, but Adam had a smile on his face and was calm and confident as he spoke to the three large men.

They were all merely Novice Cultivator at around LVL 60, which compared to an ordinary person would make them feel amazing and invincible, but were merely ants in Adam's eyes. However, Adam didn't attack first and wasn't planning on doing so. 

If they asked for a reasonable amount of money considering how much Liao Wei had borrowed from them, Adam would just give it to them and then forget about them, but if they tried anything, they would definitely regret it.

"Wow. Who's this tough and rich guy that you managed to get Liao Wei?"

"This foreigner won't save you little Wei. We will skin you alive for avoiding us for this long and not paying us back on time," 

They didn't even speak to Adam and didn't care about him as they gestured that they were going to kill him by running their thumb against their necks.

Releasing killing intent so openly and threatening Liao Wei in front of him, Adam was expecting as such from the arrogant scumbags that they were, but still didn't do anything.

"I asked how much does he owe you guys? If you don't want to collect the money, get out of my face you big oafs," stated Adam loudly and clearly, as he took a step closer to the three large figures and glared at them.

They were shocked by his attitude and words, but began laughing in his face, not seeing Adam who was alone and smaller than them as a threat. They couldn't sense his cultivation and most people couldn't, with Adam's Form Concealment, and grabbed his collar and lifted him into the air.

"Listen up you puny bitch. This is our territory and for daring to try to get involved in our business and disrespecting us, we are gonna beat your ass then take all your money," they declared as the one carrying Adam went to slam him onto the ground.

However, none of them were fast enough to see what happened, and it ended up with him being smashed into the ground fast first.

"I didn't want to dirty my hands with you waste, but now that you angered and started this shit with me, all of you will regret the day you were born," bellowed Adam.

He had only used a small amount of his power, but in the blink of an eye, he had grabbed the head of the man that was holding him up in the air, then slammed it into the ground. 

Adam didn't initiate the battle, but would be the one to finish it and in an instant, one of the three Black Dragon Gang members had been knocked out and had his face destroyed.

"Who's next?" asked Adam, who stood there as if nothing had happened with a smile and relaxed expression.

The two others were shocked and didn't move for a moment, unable to believe what had just occurred, and without thinking, both went to attack Adam at once.

Anyone that dared to mess with them needed to be crushed and the Black Dragon Gang was known for ruling over their territory with an iron fist, but unfortunately for them, they had aimed their fist at the wrong person.

Adam barely needed to try, and did the same thing to the two thugs who swung powerful fists towards his head. Grabbing both of their heads, Adam swung his arms downwards and their face's struck the ground with as much force as their companion, with all three of their heads being imbedded into the ground.

With his great control over his power, Adam made sure to hit them just hard enough to knock them out and destroy their faces, but also only not enough to deal them irreversible damage.

He also estimated that within a few minutes, they were likely to regain consciousness, and although they would be afraid and unable to fight him, would be able to call reinforcements, which was exactly what Adam wanted.

Stepping over their unconscious bodies, Adam called for Liao Wei to come with him into the building that he lived in so that they could visit his ill mother.

Liao Wei couldn't believe what had just happened, and was visibly shaking and making his prayers, believing that he was going to die for messing with the Black Dragon Gang.

No one within their territory had dared to mess with them and get away with it unharmed, but seeing how he was acting, Adam was amused and reassured him that he would be fine. It would be the Black Dragon Gang that would regret their actions.

Entering Liao Wei's home, Adam was saddened to see the conditions he was living in and had seen many similar buildings in the area that were likely to have many other similar homes.

The Black Dragon Gang members had a large, nice and expensive car, while the people they were taking money from were struggling to put food on the table.

Shaking his head, Adam was glad that Liao Wei had tried to rob him and it was clear that it was only out of desperation and he wasn't such a bad guy, while he also had some plans with the Black Dragon Gang.

The Charm Skill made controlling and getting people to do things easy for Adam, as long as he had a stronger will power and high enough Charisma Stat. He didn't use it much and didn't need to use its full power, but with it, he could make a lot of changes.

But before then, he needed to heal Liao Wei's mother and beat down the punks that call themselves the Black Dragon Gang and think so highly of themselves.
