Chapter 149 - 149 Brother Long Gives In_1
Xu Fan turned his head to glance at Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, who both nodded at him, indicating they didn’t want to press the matter further. Tongtong, held in Xu Yixue’s arms, looked at the submissive Brother Long on the ground and said to Xu Fan with a smile, “Daddy, this man looks so pitiful, let him go.”
“Tongtong, you think he’s pitiful now, but you don’t know how vicious he could be without your daddy here. Such people only submit to those who are stronger. When they encounter the weak, they will bare their terrifying fangs,” Xu Fan said, gently patting Tongtong’s head as he educated his daughter.
It’s good that his daughter has compassion, but in this dangerous world, those with only love in their hearts will never survive. Xu Fan was speaking to Tongtong, but also to Xu Yixue.
When Brother Long heard Xu Fan’s words, his expression changed dramatically, and large beads of sweat instantly rolled down his forehead.
Xu Fan watched Brother Long kneeling on the ground, and spoke in a calm tone, “Regarding this incident, I will let it pass for now and won’t pursue it further. However, your people have spoken arrogantly and offended my family, and that debt needs to be settled by you. Do you agree?”
“I, I agree,” Brother Long nodded gravely, knowing that he could not escape this calamity, but Xu Fan’s tone suggested that he was not intent on a death sentence.
“That’s good, you will be responsible for dealing with this scene. If there is any public outcry, don’t blame me for being angry,” Xu Fan continued.
“Big brother, rest assured, I’ll have my men handle everything here, and make sure nothing shows up online,” Brother Long hastily promised Xu Fan.
With his status as the boss of Night Castle, it was no problem for him to intimidate the tourists at Zhonghai. Though Zhonghai was vast, Xu Fan’s exalted martial power was extremely rare among mortals.
Having been in the mix for over twenty years, Brother Long had only encountered a freak like Xu Fan. He was a thousand percent confident in handling the tourists in the Tiger Garden.
They all had recorded identities when they bought tickets to enter, and if anyone dared leak what happened here, Brother Long wouldn’t mind giving them a taste of Night Castle’s true methods.
Even if Brother Long had faced defeat in the Tiger Garden and had knelt before Xu Fan, it was something that he definitely didn’t want to get out.
“Also, as for the instigator behind the scenes, although my family doesn’t want to pursue it, he has caused you such a huge loss. I don’t think you would just let it slide silently,” Xu Fan said in an indifferent tone to Brother Long.
“Please rest assured, big brother, I definitely won’t let that guy off!” Brother Long said through gritted teeth to Xu Fan.
This time, Brother Long was truly determined. It was all because Cai Xiangdong, that damn guy, falsely reported the situation, claiming Xu Fan was nothing special, which led Brother Long and his gang to nearly get wiped out by Xu Fan alone at Changlong Zoo. Although he couldn’t beat Xu Fan, he could definitely take on Cai Xiangdong. If he could escape from Xu Fan’s clutches, Cai Xiangdong would be the first one Brother Long wouldn’t forgive.
Someone had to bear the brunt of Brother Long’s full wrath, and who else could it be if not Cai Xiangdong?
“Good, I’ll wait for your good news,” Xu Fan nodded.
“I will not fail the task; you wait for my news, big brother!” Brother Long nodded firmly, with a reliable look on his face.
“Then next, it’s time for your small punishment for the affront to my family,” Xu Fan said to Brother Long, articulating every word.
Upon hearing this, a flash of fear crossed Brother Long’s eyes, then he simply closed them. Even if Xu Fan killed him right then, he had not a shred of resistance, so he might as well accept it and wait for the storm to come.
Xu Fan’s hand gently rested on Brother Long’s shoulder, and then with a “click,” he twisted it.
“Ah!” Brother Long let out a wail, his eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly snapped open, and the flesh on his face couldn’t help but tremble.
Brother Long’s right hand shakily covered his own left arm, which now had been completely twisted off by Xu Fan, dangling beside him like a lone sleeve.
“This is your punishment, do you admit your fault?” Xu Fan said indistinctly to Brother Long.
“I admit my fault, thank you, big brother, for sparing my life.” Despite the severe pain in his left arm, Brother Long kowtowed to Xu Fan three times with great reverence.
Xu Fan’s movements were too fast; Brother Long hadn’t even seen Xu Fan strike before he realized his arm was broken.
If Xu Fan had twisted his neck instead, he would be a corpse by now, so he truly owed Xu Fan for sparing his life.
“Alright, take your underlings and clean up this place. If any problems arise, your Night Castle will be history,” Xu Fan warned coldly.
“Understood. May I know how to address you, big brother? I have no other intentions, nor dare I seek revenge. I just want to know your name, so that after I’ve dealt with Cai Xiangdong, I can report back to you.”
Xu Fan gave a slight smile and said to Brother Long, “You can call me Boss Xu.” After speaking, Xu Fan even took the initiative to pick up Brother Long’s phone and added him on WeChat.
“Alright, take care, Boss Xu. I’ll handle it well,” said Brother Long, receiving his phone from Xu Fan with deep respect.
After speaking to Brother Long, Xu Fan turned his head to look at Xu Yixue, and his demeanor changed again.
Just moments ago, imposing and decisive, a single glance had brought Brother Long to his knees begging for mercy. Now, Xu Fan had returned to his usual laid-back, casual self, looking like an office worker taking his kid for a walk.
Xu Yixue also felt a bit thrown off by the change, but considering Xu Fan’s usual relaxed demeanor, she realized it was only in the face of danger that he had become a mysteriously powerful figure. With that thought, she felt relieved.
“Let’s continue our visit. Tongtong has only played in two pavilions, and there are several areas we haven’t reached yet,” Xu Yixue said slowly to Xu Fan.
“Yeah, daddy, today you came to take Tongtong to see Peppa Pig, not to catch bad guys. Tongtong wants to keep playing,” Tongtong said to Xu Fan, shaking her little head in Xu Yixue’s arms.
“Okay, let’s go, we’ll keep playing,” Xu Fan smiled and walked slowly towards the entrance of Tiger Garden with Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning.
Throughout this time, he never glanced at Brother Long, who was still kneeling on the ground.
Without a word from Xu Fan, Brother Long didn’t dare to rise. He waited for a full two minutes until the four of them had completely disappeared from sight before slowly standing up, covering his broken left arm.
“Dammit, this little bastard almost killed me. Brothers, get up quickly; we’ve got big things to do,” Brother Long yelled at his small followers lying on the ground.
The underlings that Xu Fan had knocked down struggled to their feet upon hearing Brother Long’s words. Many had four or five broken bones, but with mutual assistance, they eventually regrouped before Brother Long.
