It's unacceptable to bully fellow countrymen!
It is even more unacceptable to bully fellow countrymen in front of him!
"I'm giving you one last chance. If you return the money now, I'll pretend nothing happened. Don't say I didn't warn you." Cao Han's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was utterly calm.
"Brother Hao, can you just translate this for them?"
"Brother Cao Han, when we're out and about, it's better to avoid trouble. Just consider that money a loss for me." Hao Ren was about to accept reality when Cao Han spoke up, and he hurriedly explained.
"Trust me, just translate it exactly as I say."
"Okay...okay."
For some reason, Hao Ren felt a sense of trust when he saw Cao Han. Perhaps it was because Cao Han had an aura that made people feel at ease without them even realizing it.
So he calmly translated it, mimicking Cao Han's tone and manner of speaking.
The white man who was ecstatic a moment ago, thinking that the yellow-skinned monkey was easy to bully, suddenly became furious after hearing this.
Hao Ren's translation sounded as if he were throwing his dignity to the ground and trampling it.
"Last chance!?"
It's utterly ridiculous. When has the Martin family ever been threatened like this in Portofino?
Anger rises in the heart, and evil thoughts arise in the gall.
Whether it was to maintain his authority as the boss in front of his underlings, or for his own greed and the huge wad of cash behind him, Clyde Martin was not going to give up easily.
"Hey~ dare you say that again?"
As he spoke, Clyde Martin pulled a switchblade from his front pocket. The metallic sheen of the blade in the sunlight silently told him that what he held in his hand was no scary toy.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand Chinese, he can still figure it out.
Hao Ren was originally going to swallow his anger, but his attitude changed after his companion spoke up.
Therefore, in Clyde Martin's view, the culprit who changed everything was Cao Han, who was standing next to him, and the bright tip of the switchblade in his hand was also pointed at Cao Han.
The moment Clyde Martin pulled out his switchblade, Hao Ren's expression immediately changed.
In the West, whether a criminal has a weapon or not when committing a crime are two completely different concepts.
To put it simply, Clyde Martin in the past would at most be arrested, but if he pulled out a knife, he could have been shot dead on the spot.
Cao Han simply doesn't like speaking English; it doesn't mean he can't understand it.
Besides, even if you don't understand the language, you can still understand the story; Clyde Martin's behavior is the best example.
As the saying goes, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."
Cao Han had already given them one last chance, but they didn't seem to appreciate it, so it's no wonder he bullied ordinary people.
If I remember correctly, they were trying to throw the two of them overboard?
Exactly!
Before anyone else could react, Cao Han had already made his move. Even without using a speed-enhancing spell, his speed was still too fast for ordinary people to detect.
Snapped--
A crisp cracking sound rang out, followed by Clyde Martin's pig-like screams of agony echoing throughout the ferry.
When his accomplices came to their senses and looked at him, they saw that his right hand, which had been holding the switchblade, was hanging down at a 90-degree angle from his forearm.
Such a tragic scene instantly chilled those who were used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Cao Han.
"I imagine those of you who live in Portofino must be quite good swimmers."
Amidst a series of low murmurs that even Hao Ren couldn't quite hear, Cao Han grabbed one of the guys by the back of their collars and threw them overboard.
When it was Clyde Martin's turn, he didn't forget to take the money back from the other man's backside before throwing the pig-like groaning fellow into the sea.
Chapter 124 not only speaks reason but also knows a little about martial arts.
"Brother Cao Han, you...you...you're doing this, won't they be in danger?"
Hao Ren was completely dumbfounded. Having just graduated from university, he had never experienced anything like this before.
Putting aside how inhumane Cao Han's actions of breaking a person's arm bone with a wave of his hand and lifting a burly man over 1.8 meters tall with one hand were.
The fact that he simply retaliated in kind by throwing the group into the sea was enough to shock his worldview.
"Don't worry, as long as these people aren't stupid, they won't be in any danger. At most, they'll just suffer a lot." Cao Han's tone was so calm that it didn't seem like he had just thrown five people into the sea.
He didn't consider himself someone who would indiscriminately kill innocent people. Even if the other party provoked him first, he would at most give them a minor punishment as a warning, and he had no intention of taking their lives.
The worst off was Clyde Martin, who lost an arm, mainly because he deliberately brandished a weapon and threatened others.
Although he was a little worried, Hao Ren, being young at heart, still understood why Cao Han had taken action. The last bit of reluctance he felt when he thought about the despicable behavior of the group quickly disappeared.
However, he ultimately couldn't remain indifferent like Cao Han. His eyes searched the mast at the bow of the ship and soon found his target—a lifebuoy.
After a flurry of activity, he managed to remove two lifebuoys and hurled them in the direction where the people were floating.
Cao Han saw Hao Ren's actions clearly, shook his head inwardly but had no intention of stopping him.
It's true that there are only names that are mispronounced, not names that are mischosen. No wonder he's called a "good person".
These were just minor incidents during the journey, and Cao Han didn't even keep them in mind.
After the ferry successfully docked at the port of Portofino.
"Brother Hao, this is my contact information. If those guys still have bad intentions and want to cause you trouble, contact me immediately."
There's a harsh saying: "A leopard can't change its spots!"
Cao Han couldn't guarantee that those people would learn their lesson. He would welcome them courting death, but he was afraid that they would vent their anger on Hao Ren.
Especially considering that Hao Ren came to Portofino specifically to see the once-in-a-century meteor shower, his persistent demeanor didn't seem like someone who would give up so easily.
"I'll be careful," Hao Ren replied seriously. "Maybe those guys will learn their lesson. Besides, the leader's arm is broken, so he probably can't afford to worry about anything else."
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone or muscle injury, and that's not entirely wrong.
After saying goodbye to the other party, Cao Han noticed out of the corner of his eye that a specialist dressed in a suit and sunglasses, which was out of place in this seaside town, was walking towards them.
"Commissioner Cao Han, the board meeting has already begun. The principal wants you to prepare and be there in half an hour."
The commissioner stood before Cao Han and bowed respectfully, showing no displeasure at the other party's casual attitude.
Strength brings about a change in status!
He knew the title of the boy in front of him, "Dragon Slayer," and that his seemingly harmless exterior concealed a terrifying strength capable of fighting off a second-generation dragon.
In other words, the news of Cao Han killing Bai Wang is currently only circulating within a small circle of the school board and has not yet spread.
Otherwise, the commissioner would be worshipping Cao Han like a god right now.
"There's nothing to prepare, let's just go." Cao Han was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with his casual attire.
"Okay, please~"
The commissioner was about to mention that Principal Angers had prepared a luxurious suit for him in the car, but he was stopped by the other party's sharp and determined gaze.
Without saying another word, he led Cao Han to a pre-arranged car not far away, an all-black Maybach.
Walk through the streets of Portofino, from one end to the other.
It was a mottled castle standing halfway up the mountain, its walls covered with all kinds of vines and plants, bearing the marks of time.
It looks quite grand from the outside, but once you look inside the vehicle, you'll find that it's smaller than you imagined.
This is evident from the size of the parking lot; when they arrived, there was exactly one empty parking space left.
Other cars parked there included a Lamborghini, an Aston Martin symbolizing old aristocratic honor, a customized Mercedes-AMG, and a silver Rolls-Royce. To Cao Han's surprise, among all the luxury cars, there was also an orange mountain bike.
"Commissioner Cao Han, the board meeting is being held inside the castle. Please come in."
The specialist meticulously completed his task, respectfully opening the car door for Cao Han before standing still; his access to this area was already at its limit.
But they weren't qualified to enter the castle.
The moment Cao Han stepped into the castle, he felt as if he were being watched and locked onto. Only after turning his head to look around did he discover the unusual inner workings of the castle.
The entire castle is covered with cameras, leaving no blind spot unchecked, to monitor the situation in every place at all times. At the same time, it is unknown how many hidden firepower devices are concealed inside.
This is hardly a historic castle; it's clearly a small military base!
The only outcome for an unsuspecting enemy who barges in is to be completely overwhelmed and end up without even knowing how they died.
In the center of the castle hall, there was only one spiral staircase leading upwards, and Cao Han naturally climbed the stairs in that direction.
Every short distance you pass through, people in suits with metal detectors approach to check and search you. But just as you're about to take a step, a death signal keeps reminding you through every sense in your body.
will die!
If they actually conduct a search and pat-down... you could really die!
At the end of the corridor, a heavy metal door with a metallic sheen stood before them.
It looks a bit like the door of an air-raid shelter. To open it, you need to enter an extremely complicated password and use two keys at the same time.
Judging from the brand-new appearance of this door, it was recently replaced.
"It seems the board members value their lives more than I thought," Cao Han couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
With the castle's defensive capabilities, even if it were bombarded by missiles, it wouldn't affect the board members holding a meeting inside in the slightest.
Standing in front of the metal door was a strange woman, who appeared to be an assistant or secretary to a school board member. Upon seeing Cao Han suddenly appear, she was initially shocked, not understanding why he was there.
Then, in the next second, her excellent professionalism allowed her to quickly control her expression and put on a professional smile. She bowed slightly to Cao Han and said, "Mr. Cao, the board meeting has already started. You are not a member of the board and will have to wait for the adults inside to summon you before you can enter."
Cao Han sneered disdainfully, "Summon them? Who gave them the courage? Liang Jingru?"
Seeing his female secretary still standing there with a "business is business, please don't make things difficult for me" expression, showing no intention of taking any action, Cao Han couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Honestly, sometimes it's not that I want to resort to violence, it's just that nobody listens when I try to talk to them nicely."
Although he was talking to himself, his voice was just loud enough for the female secretary at the door to hear every word. Just as she was about to offer some advice to Cao Han...
Cao Han took three large steps back, creating a small distance between himself and the metal door.
The Word of Immortality was released in the instant his golden eyes, as dazzling as lava, lit up.
If "Moment" and "Time Zero" represent speed-enhancing incantations, then "Bronze Throne" and "Immortal" represent physical enhancement incantations.
