Book 2 Chapter 15.2 – Master Bo
“You guys can leave. The protection fee has been paid once already, and I, Mu Yi will never pay it a second time. As for Taibai Restaurant’s future protection fees…” When Li Yang spoke up to this point, he abruptly stopped. His eyes fell on the blonde male whose expression hadn’t changed and softly said, “There also won’t be any!”
When the blonde male heard these words, he wasn’t surprised in the least. He only lowered his head to to look at the golden ring on his finger before saying calmly, “Mu Yi, new entertainer within the Underground Boxing Arena. With a sweeping might, you rushed into the top division compet.i.tion. It is highly likely that your strength is not lower than Devil King’s, and can be considered a fourth-ranked expert!” The blonde male slowly raised his head and inquired in a gentlemanly fashion, “I wonder if Boss Mu Yi agrees with what I said?”
Li Yang’s eyes slightly shrunk and looked over the blonde male again. This time, he truly became a bit more attentive inside.
He only knew that the Gunman Organization was one of New York’s two large organizations that proclaimed themselves as New York’s leaders.
“Here in New York, there are countless underground experts. Those whose skills have reached the fourth rank are as common as the hairs on an ox. The number of experts who have reached fifth rank are not few as well, so for the Gunman Organization to thrive within New York, there must be something backing up their confidence. If I truly was an ordinary fourth rank expert, then I really wouldn’t dare to fight back. Actually, even if I was barely an ordinary fifth rank expert, I still would not argue with him. However, not only am I not an ordinary fourth rank expert, I’m also not some ordinary fifth rank expert. With the Evasion Technique, killing the head of the the Gunman Organization is not difficult. With their boss dead, I believe that they won’t have the time to defeat my small restaurant anymore, right?” Li Yang thought this inwardly, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. As a result, the blonde male began to guess inwardly.
The blonde male looked at Li Yang and thought things through. “En, my Gunman Organization possesses a large amount of firepower. Even though fourth rank experts are a thousand times more powerful than ordinary people, I brought with me the brand new Desert Eagle model that has an astonishing penetrative power. This brand new Desert Eagle’s penetrative force is something that even top division fourth division experts can’t block. I believe that Mu Yi also understand what is good and bad.” Thinking up to this point, the blonde male’s confidence rose. He slowly poured himself some tea before raising up the cup in a composed manner
“En, the Gunman Organization has offended quite a few people, so among the a.s.sa.s.sination missions, there definitely has to be a few targeted at their boss. After accepting that mission and killing that boss, not only will I gain some money, I can also throw the Gunman Organization’s interior into absolute chaos, leaving them with no time to deal with this small restaurant of mine; it really is killing two birds with one stone!” When Li Yang though up to this point, he turned towards the blond male and said, “One cup of tea is a thousand dollars! I believe that mister is not someone who does not pay his tab.”
When the blonde male heard this, he almost spat out the tea within his mouth.
One cup of tea, one thousand dollars. This was simply robbing money!”
The blonde male’s face gradually became cold as he slowly put down the tea cup. He raised his head and fixed his eyes on Li Yang as he said, “Mister Mu Yi, have you already made your decision? You want to make our Gunman Organization your enemy?”
Li Yang nodded his head slightly, and did not say a single sentence.
“It seems like Mister Mu Yi still does not understand our Gunman Organization’s true power. Fellow brothers, why don’t we give them a taste of our strength!” The blonde male faintly smiled as he spoke. He believed that once Mu Yi saw their new Desert Queens, he definitely wouldn’t fight back any more.
The clothes of the men in black behind the blonde male fluttered, revealing the Desert Eagles below.
What kind of person what Li Yang? In the past, he was an elite within the special forces, so how could he not know about the new Desert Eagle? The new Desert Eagle’s penetrative force was powerful, and it was likely that only fifth rank experts could withstand it. If it was a fourth rank expert that encountered this weapon, then they would definitely be penetrated. Compared to the old Desert Eagle model, the new Desert Eagle Model not only increased in penetrative force, it also increased the number of bullets that could be stored within. The recoil has also been reduced, and was absolutely a perfect a.s.sa.s.sination firearm.
“I wonder if Mister Mu Yi decided to change his mind now? Right, how much is this cup of tea now? One dollar should be enough right?” The blonde male had an extremely bright smile on his face.
Li Yang replied, “One dollar? No, no, of course that’s not enough. The price of this tea has changed. Now, the price is, ten thousand dollars! I believe that ten thousand is still something that the Gunman Organization can still take out!”
Hearing ‘ten thousand dollars,’ the blond male’s face sunk. He said in a dull voice, “Go!”
Hu!
A whirlwind swept past, and this group of large men from the Gunman Organization looked foolishly at their hands. They were hands that were no longer holding guns!
As if he was disposing of trash, Li Yang threw the ten or so guns towards the table on the side.
Li Yang actually seized all the guns from those ten individuals in a mere second!
These people immediately became foolish. The blonde male’s complexion also changed greatly. He knew that the Underground Boxing Arena’s physical bodies were powerful and that their speeds were extremely fast, but he never would have thought that a fourth rank expert could reach this level.
Li Yang truly paid no attention to them. After cultivating the ‘Piercing Clouds and Moving Mists,’ Li Yang’s speed was not merely this little bit. Just now, he still held back quite a bit!
“Good, good, good! I believe what Mister Mu Yi used was precisely the legendary ‘movement technique’ from the ancient east!” The blonde male’s face once again recovered its calmness. This time, he miscalculated. According to his estimations, it was impossible for a fourth rank expert to seize the weapons from so many men. He could only use the ‘movement technique’ as an explanation.
Li Yang nodded his head.
“Good, since Mister Mu Yi has this much strength, claiming to not need our protection is still normal. I believe that Mister Mu Yi can protect his own restaurant. We can go, however, can you return those guns to us? Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to explain when we get back.” The blonde male seemed a bit ‘bashful’ as he spoke out this request.
“Of course I can, however, you have to leave behind the bullets. I’m worried that mister will turn around and fire a round at me!” Li Yang laughed, and quickly removed the bullets with proficiency. The blonde male’s expression immediately changed. He could tell from Li Yang’s movements just now that he was definitely an expert that played with guns before.
The blonde male immediately made a hint towards a younger comrade at his side. That younger individual immediately walked up and retrieved the guns.
“I give my wishes towards Mister Mu Yi’s protection of his own restaurant. Right, I need to remind mister, there are still quite a few ruffians and rogues around!” The blonde male gave Mu Yi a meaningful look before leading his people out just like that.
Li Yang actually furrowed his brows. Shortly after, he smiled. “Don’t force me, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if I kill your boss.”

After going through this disturbance, Li Yang didn’t want to return any more and sat down within the restaurant. He asked for a few bottles of Erguotou and side dishes.
“Big bro Ge Pu, where is that old man that used to play the flute?” There was an old flute player that did not want any from from Ge Pu. Every day, he only wanted a few bottles of wine and side dishes.
Ge Pu laughed and said, “Old w.a.n.g already returned. When the Gunman Organization’s men came just now, all the customers left.” Li Yang nodded his head and asked, “I wonder if there is a bamboo flute here?”
When Ge Pu heard this, he immediately smiled. “There is, of course there is one here. In our Taibai Restaurant, we most likely have all the ancient instruments. Wait a bit, I’ll get it for you!”
Bamboo flute… Back when Li Yang was in the armed forces, this was Li Yang’s only hobby during his leisure time. Playing the bamboo flute was something that a veteran taught him. Even though his skill could not be compared to a flute playing expert, it was good enough, and was not bad as a type of self amus.e.m.e.nt.
Receiving the bamboo flute that Ge Pu brought, Li Yang immediately thought of the ‘Liang Zhu.’ This was the ‘Liang Zhu’ inside the music box Jiang Xue gifted Li Yang.
TL: Liang Zhu refers to a pair of lovers in folk legend
Li Yang couldn’t hold himself back from recalling his time together with Jiang Xue. He couldn’t help but remember the trivial conversations every night on the phone. Li Yang’s face gradually developed a smile, and couldn’t help but play ‘Liang Zhu.’ The flute sound carried a hidden bitterness as it resonated within the entire restaurant. Currently, there were no customers within the restaurant.
“The sash on my clothes widen but I don’t regret, for you who is no longer here I am wan and sallow.” While playing the instrument, Li Yang involuntarily began to cry. A sparkling teardrop fell onto the ground. With a peng, it shattered, splashing outwards.
At this moment, an elderly man wearing a green chinese tunic suit walked into the restaurant. As soon as the elder saw the flute playing Li Yang, his eyes immediately lit up. “As expected, it truly is the same as the one in the spiritual awareness, exactly the same as young disciple in his earlier years!”
