Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#499 - Chapter 498: Examining the Prey, Examining Yourself

Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow: "What? You don't want to rent the boat to me?"

The woman waved her hands in a flustered manner: "No, it's just that..."

"Alright, she's just an employee, why make things difficult for her? We also want to rent this boat. In that case, may the highest bidder win, right?" the crew-cut young man interrupted directly.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man beamed with joy and said to Li Chenqiu and Zhao Long: "I think that's quite reasonable, what do you two think?"

Li Chenqiu lowered his eyes slightly, glancing at the silent woman, understanding everything.

Familiar scene. Months ago, the underworld held an auction, and it seemed like he was the one raising prices like this. Unexpectedly, today it's his turn to be raised. Interesting cycle.

"Bai-ge, this doesn't seem right. How about we rent another boat?" Zhao Long leaned in and said in a low voice.

Li Chenqiu patted Zhao Long's shoulder and said without hesitation: "We'll rent this boat."

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of everyone present.

"The 'Lingyu'号's weekly rental fee is 50 million Federation Credits. Let's start the bidding from there!" the middle-aged man said with a smile as he stood between the two parties.

"55 million Federation Credits. Kid, you want to compete with me for the boat? Feel your pockets first and see if you have enough!" the crew-cut young man patted his pocket, a mocking look on his face.

Li Chenqiu ignored him and looked at the woman, saying: "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear what I said just now? Take me to swipe my card and sign the agreement."

"Ah?" The woman was slightly stunned: "You...aren't you going to bid?"

Li Chenqiu retorted: "Which ear of yours heard me say I wanted to be a sucker?"

The woman was a little bewildered by these words and subconsciously glanced at the crew-cut young man.

"Kid, if you don't have money to bid, then you don't have money to bid. You're acting all domineering. You want to sign a lease agreement? Did you get my permission?"

The crew-cut young man sneered and walked up to Li Chenqiu. His 1.9-meter height was like a mountain, blocking the light from the street lamp and creating a strong sense of oppression!

Successfully frightened Zhao Long—who was next to Li Chenqiu.

Zhao Long swallowed, and said with a forced smile: "You...what do you want to do? We were here first anyway. Whether or not we agree to bid is up to us..."

Whoosh—

A gust of wind howled. Before Zhao Long could finish speaking, the crew-cut young man suddenly clenched his fist and threw it out.

Zhao Long's pupils shrank. Just as the thought of dodging arose, the fist was already in front of his eyes!

At the critical moment, Li Chenqiu reached out with one hand and firmly grabbed the crew-cut young man's wrist, stopping his attack.

Bang!

Zhao Long fell to the ground with his butt, looking pale at the fist above his head.

"Oh, I didn't see that. You pretty boy has some strength!" the crew-cut young man smiled playfully, looking at Li Chenqiu with slight surprise.

Li Chenqiu said calmly: "Let's stop here. I don't want to make things too big."

The crew-cut young man leaned forward slightly and laughed directly: "Hahahaha, who do you think you are...Ahhhh!"

Bang!

The crew-cut young man suddenly knelt on the ground, letting out bursts of miserable screams. The wrist that Li Chenqiu was holding made a "crackling" sound.

Li Chenqiu stared at him indifferently: "If you want to hunt, you must not only examine the prey, but also examine yourself, and see if you are worthy, understand?"

The crew-cut young man was sweating profusely from the pain and shouted loudly: "Save me!!!"

The blonde young man standing in the back reacted and, ignoring the middle-aged man's obstruction, punched Li Chenqiu, shouting loudly at the same time: "You're courting death!"

Li Chenqiu tilted his head slightly, exerted force from his waist and hips, raised his left leg high, and slammed it down vertically when the blonde young man rushed in front of him.

Boom!

"Pfft!!!"

Several teeth stained with blood spurted out of the blonde young man's mouth, and the whole person slammed horizontally on the ground like a pool of mud, stirring up dust. Li Chenqiu's left foot then logically stepped on his chest, constantly increasing the force.

"Ahhhh!"

The blonde young man's neck veins bulged, and his chest was stained with blood red. He arched his body like a shrimp, constantly struggling, trying to escape from under Li Chenqiu's feet, but it was all in vain.

"Sir! Fighting is prohibited here! Please stop!" the woman shouted in horror.

Li Chenqiu asked suspiciously: "If I don't stop, what are you going to do?"

"I...I will contact the security team and put you on Haosha's blacklist!" the woman threatened with a stern face.

Li Chenqiu gestured: "Then hurry up and go. I'd like to see if you can call someone faster, or if I can slap you faster."

"You..." The woman bit her red lips tightly and took a step back.

Li Chenqiu continued: "Now take my people to sign the lease agreement. Don't mess with me, otherwise, you might die in some inconspicuous corner one day, understand?"

The woman looked down at the two people who were constantly wailing, and then nodded with a gloomy face: "Understood."

Li Chenqiu smiled with satisfaction and reached out to pull Zhao Long, who had not yet recovered, from the ground: "What are you waiting for? Follow her to sign the lease agreement."

"Uh...I'll go right away, I'll go right away."

Zhao Long nodded and then followed the woman away from here.

"Big, big brother, I was wrong, you are magnanimous, let us go!"

"We know we were wrong, let us go!"

The previous two young men shouted. The unbearable pain made their tears and snot flow uncontrollably.

"In the future, keep your eyes open. If you see me, take a detour. If I see you again, then I can only take action."

Li Chenqiu let go of his hand, raised his foot, and looked up at the middle-aged man who was still in a daze: "What are you still doing in a daze? Take your people and get out."

"Okay, we'll get out immediately!"

...

The 'Lingyu'号's lease agreement was signed smoothly. The woman didn't cause any trouble.

Because Zhao Jiacheng's house didn't have any extra beds, Li Chenqiu could only stay in a hotel tonight. After leaving the pier, he followed Zhao Long and walked towards a nearby hotel.

On the way, Zhao Long rolled his eyes, secretly sizing up Li Chenqiu with the corner of his eye, his mouth constantly wriggling, as if he wanted to say something.

After Li Chenqiu noticed the other party's gaze, he said without turning his head: "If you want to say something, just say it. Don't hold it in."

Zhao Long scratched his head awkwardly and smiled: "That...Bai-ge was really amazing just now. I estimate that the tall guy has the strength of two levels of restraint, but I didn't expect you to knock him to the ground in one fell swoop. That's awesome!"

Li Chenqiu turned his head: "You want to ask me what level of restraint I am at, right?"

Zhao Long, whose thoughts were exposed, responded directly: "I am indeed very curious."
