Chapter 594: Not Worth a Blow
Just as everyone harbored their own thoughts, Xiao Shun casually strolled towards Zhang Jizhong, a playful smirk on his face.
Seeing this, Wang Guobin wasted no time and swiftly blocked Xiao Shun’s path.
“Mr. Guobin, teach this kid a lesson. He dared to be disrespectful to me. Who does he think he is?” Zhang Jizhong fumed, clearly furious about Xiao Shun’s earlier insolence.
After all, he was renowned in the entertainment industry for his explosive temper. Whether it was a celebrity or a staff member, hardly anyone dared to disrespect him.
But to think that a mere assistant would dare to threaten him. If word of this spread, what would become of his reputation?
Wang Guobin stood motionless, gazing at Xiao Shun, and casually said, “Young man, after you apologize, you may leave on your own.”
He believed dealing with this guy would only take a second at most. However, having his boss lose face, he was reluctant to completely humiliate Zhang Jizhong.
Full of confidence, Xiao Shun’s next words left the entire room in stunned silence.
“For disrespecting me earlier, I sentence you to ten slaps across the face.”
As these words landed, amidst the shocked expressions of the onlookers, Xiao Shun’s figure subtly shifted, and a powerful wave of energy appeared, hurtling towards Wang Guobin.
“Buzz!”
A palm weighing over ten thousand pounds whizzed towards Wang Guobin’s astonished face.
Startled, Wang Guobin was caught off guard by Xiao Shun’s displayed strength. However, as a martial arts expert, he instinctively reacted as the thunderous palm approached.
He stepped back, swiftly retreating three steps, then unleashed a fierce roundhouse kick.
“When I say you get slapped, you get slapped!”
Xiao Shun narrowed his brows, swiftly evading the imposing kick. Then, with a sudden lunge, he delivered a resounding slap to Wang Guobin’s face.
Furious and humiliated, Wang Guobin thought this kid was utterly ruthless, wanting to start with a slap in the face without any regard for his dignity!
He failed to consider that if you don’t show respect, how can you expect to receive any in return?
After witnessing Xiao Shun’s undeniable strength, Wang Guobin abandoned his earlier disdain and his entire being exuded a formidable aura.
Soon, he was enveloped by a protective energy shield.
Ha, let’s see how you handle this!
With calm composure, Wang Guobin ceased his movements, sneering as he watched Xiao Shun’s approaching slap.
Observing this, Xiao Shun disdainfully curled his lips, “Haha, do you really think that having a shield means I can’t touch you?”
Indeed, an energy shield possessed formidable defensive capabilities at times, but only at specific moments. For someone like Xiao Shun, who had already surpassed the Anterior stage in cultivation, the average practitioner’s energy shield was no different from a cotton ball.
At that moment, a fierce palm wind shattered Wang Guobin’s outer energy shield, and the strike landed on his face.
“Slap!”
The crisp sound echoed in everyone’s ears.
Then, in a blink, the once arrogant Wang Guobin flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a prop box. His legs hung limply over the box’s edge.
Witnessing this scene, the entire room fell silent.
“Heh, thinking you can talk tough with me. You’re a bit too young for that,” Xiao Shun sneered, stirring up an endless storm in Zhang Jizhong’s mind.
Wang Guobin was a skilled member of the Red Lake Club, and his strength was unquestionable. That’s why his uncle, Zhang Tianlai, valued him. But now…
Contemplating this, Zhang Jizhong couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Shun, swallowing hard, feeling increasingly uneasy.
“We’ll settle the remaining slaps later. For now, let’s discuss what just happened, Mr. Zhang!” Xiao Shun said lightly, turning his gaze towards the apprehensive Zhang Jizhong.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jizhong felt a tingling sensation. With his powerful bodyguards defeated in just a few rounds, he couldn’t seek assistance from his subordinates.
He wasn’t sure if the actor playing “Guo Jing” could help, whether he truly possessed extraordinary skills as written in the novel. What a mess this turned out to be!
At this critical moment, Zhang Jizhong had to handle it himself.
“What do you want?” he demanded sharply.
At this point, he had no choice. At crucial moments, Mr. Zhang had to take matters into his own hands.
“I don’t want anything. I just want to discuss some matters of courtesy with you,” Xiao Shunsaid with a playful tone. He detested being pointed at by others, considering it extremely disrespectful and impolite. Therefore, a firm lesson was necessary.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Enough, let’s go!” Mo Yibai immediately walked up to Xiao Shun and pulled him away.
Xiao Shun didn’t say much because he realized that if he escalated the situation, it would greatly impact Mo Yibai’s future prospects. After all, he was Mo Yibai’s assistant now!
Seeing someone step in, Zhang Jizhong breathed a sigh of relief. Despite his imposing appearance, he hadn’t received the true teachings of the Zhang family’s martial arts academy. In reality, he was no match for Xiao Shun.
However, his incapability didn’t reflect on the Zhang family. This time, their face had been compromised, and it was necessary to salvage the situation.
Zhang Jizhong’s face turned dark as he said, “Kid, just you wait! It’s best if you don’t go to Plum Park with Yibai tonight, or else I’ll make you regret it!”
Hearing this, Xiao Shun couldn’t help but smirk. This bearded man was truly asking for trouble. He had just been thinking of showing off at Plum Park tonight, and this idiot had voluntarily presented himself for a beating.
“I’m giving you this chance,” Xiao Shun said, casting a smug glance at Zhang Jizhong, then left the studio with Mo Yibai.
Staring at Xiao Shun’s retreating figure with intense hostility, Zhang Jizhong’s anger didn’t subside until the other had disappeared from view. Then, he turned to his bewildered subordinates and roared, “What are you standing around for? Hurry and bring him here!”
With a loud clatter, the previously silent crew members hurriedly pulled the bruised and swollen Wang Guobin out of the prop box.
Seeing the sorry state of his bodyguard, Zhang Jizhong’s spine shivered. When he saw the state of his bodyguard, he turned to a nearby employee with a grim expression and said, “Inform everyone, today’s auditions are over. The entire crew is off for the day!”
At this moment, he had no mood for auditions. His heart was filled with boiling rage and resentment!
