"Hey, who told you to come here? We don't want the goods, so scram! Otherwise, I'll make sure you regret it."
At the entrance of Tianyu Antique City, Jiang Hua had brought a large batch of antiques to deliver. However, their manager was furious. Not only did he try to drive them away, but he also smashed many of the antiques on the truck.
Tianyu Antique City was accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing. They were the ones who bullied others, not the other way around.
When faced with this situation today, they naturally refused to back down and intended to fight for their rights.
"You little brat, you'll take these goods whether you want them or not! You think you can haggle with me and return the merchandise? Who do you think I am? Do you really think I'm easy to mess with?" Jiang Hua said, threateningly, with a cigar in his mouth.
"Heh, you bunch of thugs who force sales and buyouts! How dare you act so arrogant on my turf? You clearly haven't experienced the might of Tianyu Antique City. Someone, come here!"
Seeing that Jiang Hua was unfazed, the manager immediately summoned a group of thugs, surrounding all the delivery personnel and Jiang Hua present.
They all had fierce expressions, and none of them looked easy to deal with!
The manager snorted and said, "Are you still going to play this game? I advise you to be sensible and get lost. You can't afford to offend me."
"If you try any more tricks with me, I'll ensure none of you leave this place."
Jiang Hua was completely dismissive, exhaling a smoke ring. "You want to play tough with me? I'm not afraid of your kind at all."
With that, he blew a whistle. Suddenly, from all directions, twice the number of thugs as Tianyu Antique City appeared. They were all nonchalant, each more ruthless than the last, and they all converged towards this spot.
The manager's heart sank. Seeing that the other party was prepared and had brought so many people, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He glared back at Jiang Hua and asked, "You brought so many people? Who exactly are you? We have no enmity with you, why are you causing trouble for us?"
"Who said we have no enmity? You offended me just now and tried to act tough. What makes you think you're anyone important?"
Jiang Hua looked at him with utter disdain and snorted, "Now, do you want these goods or not? If you do, pay up quickly. If not, I'll break all your legs and then demand the money from your boss."
"You dog, I don't want the goods today. Go ahead and break my legs if you dare."
The manager was full of defiance. Even though the other party had more people, he was determined to fight them to the death today!
Jiang Hua sneered, "You're asking for death. Today, I'll play with you properly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his arm downwards, and everyone charged towards the thugs in the warehouse.
For a moment, the scene devolved into a chaotic brawl, with blood flowing like a river on the ground.
The manager watched as his subordinates fell one by one, while the opponent's combat strength remained formidable. Terrified, he immediately turned to flee.
Just then, Jiang Hua spotted him, snorted, and lunged forward. He placed a hand on the manager's shoulder and sneered, "Where do you think you're going? Seeing your men losing, you're thinking of running away?"
"Big brother, I was wrong. I'm just a manager here. Please let me go!"
The manager, seeing Jiang Hua holding a knife and pressing it against his neck, felt his legs go weak.
"I heard you're quite tough. Seeing you now, you're nothing special. A mere knife scares you this much?"
Jiang Hua glanced at him dismissively and continued, "But you don't need to worry. I'm not intentionally looking for trouble. As long as you behave and buy all these goods, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Besides, the goods in the store aren't paid for by you. There's no need to risk your life, is there?"
"Alright, alright, I'll buy them. I'll buy them all. Big brother, can you let me go now?" the manager said nervously, sweating profusely.
"Then go ahead and place the order. As soon as your company pays, I'll leave immediately."
Jiang Hua was not unreasonable. He was only after money. Once he got the money, all conflicts would disappear.
The manager dared not resist. He quickly went to place the order, verified the bill, and had the finance department transfer the money, moving all the antiques into the warehouse.
Even if his boss came looking for him later, he would at most be fired, not lose a limb or his life.
After all, he hadn't embezzled a single cent. He did this entirely to save his own life.
After Jiang Hua received the money, he patted the manager on the shoulder and said, "If you had been this obedient earlier, wouldn't you have saved a lot of trouble? What a waste of time. Remember to be obedient when you see me in the future. If you dawdle again, it won't be this simple next time."
With that, Jiang Hua led his men away.
The manager was filled with dread and repeatedly wiped the sweat from his face. Only after they had gone far away did he gradually relax.
"Manager, these people are truly despicable. They actually brought trouble to our doorstep. We absolutely cannot let this go," said a subordinate, who was beaten black and blue, to him with resentment.
"Don't worry. In the entire Jiang City, no one has dared to openly oppose us yet. I'll report this to Boss Situ immediately. No matter how he punishes us, these people who bullied us will surely face dire consequences."
The manager no longer cared about the consequences. He had to vent his anger today!
Moreover, if he didn't report this honestly today, and the boss found out about the goods later, his own culpability would be even greater.
Before long, he made a call to Situ Jue.
When Situ Jue heard the report from the store manager, his anger instantly surged. "What did you say? Who has the audacity to cause trouble for us? They're tired of living!"
"Patriarch Situ, I don't know who they are, but they came aggressively today, clearly targeting us. They extorted sixty million yuan from our store. You must avenge us!" the manager said pitifully.
"You useless bunch! I told you to watch the store, and you gave their money away. You're completely useless to me. You're fired. Before you leave, find out the information about our opponents, or I'll have you executed."
Unsurprisingly, Situ Jue immediately berated the manager.
The manager knew he hadn't performed well today and didn't dare to plead with Situ Jue. He obediently apologized and agreed to all his conditions.
His subordinates also didn't dare to say anything more. They didn't regret this matter. If they had clashed head-on with Jiang Hua and his men, they would have died today.
After Situ Jue hung up the phone, his eyes deepened. "In a mere Jiang City, I will never allow such a powerful figure to exist. Those who dare to oppose my Situ family are dead."
