A Pawn's Passage

This kind of ordinary brothel could not compare to the upscale villas with independent courtyards. All private rooms here were concentrated in the main building.

Qi Xuansu walked along the corridor to the private room where the noise came from. Two tall men stood guard in front of the door. They noticed the well-dressed Qi Xuansu, but they dared not provoke him because they also spotted the Divine Dragon Pistol strapped to his waist.

When Qi Xuansu stopped in front of them, one of the men said, “There is someone inside.”

Qi Xuansu laughed. “Of course, I know someone is in there. There’s such a big commotion. What’s going on inside?”

“My friend, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.” The man’s tone was threatening, but he did not dare to make a move. After all, those who could carry a Divine Dragon Pistol so openly on the waist would not be an ordinary person. Even the Green Phoenix Guard or the Black Robes did not have a Divine Dragon Pistol unless they were of a certain rank.

The two guards stationed at the door were afraid of getting shot to death if a conflict arose.

Qi Xuansu asked, “What if I want to meddle? What can you do about it?”

The man opened his mouth, but no words came out because the Divine Dragon Pistol was too intimidating.

At this moment, the door opened from the inside. A government official in a square hat walked out, shouting, “Who’s making trouble out here?”

The government official was not afraid. He sized Qi Xuansu up before his gaze landed on the gun at his waist. “Black Robes?”

Qi Xuansu retorted, “What does it matter to you?”

The government official sneered. “Even if you are a part of the Black Robes, I would like to advise you that even a strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake. In Wannian County, even a dragon must submit—”

Before he finished speaking, a woman’s struggling screams came from the room.

Qi Xuansu sighed. He did not want to be nosy, but since it happened in front of him, he could not just sit back and watch.

Before he could speak, a hand suddenly grabbed the government official’s head and slammed it against the door.

The government official’s face was covered with blood as he fell limp to the ground, unable to say a word.

It turned out that Xu Kou had come over at some point. Liu Hu was following him, her eyes bright with excitement.

The two women they hired stood at the door of Xu Kou’s private room, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Xu Kou snorted. “Enough with the nonsense. Just get your backers to come out now.”

The two men guarding the door were stunned. They dared not retaliate, but they shouted for backup.

Immediately after, eight men in short-sleeved robes shuffled out of the private room. They were all tall and strong, with tiger tattoos. Without needing instruction, they swarmed toward Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou.

To be fair, Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou were different. Qi Xuansu was merciless when killing people, but when he was not out to kill, he was easy to talk to. People would also tend to bully him because he looked like a weakling from his great acting.

On the other hand, Xu Kou killed without mercy and was difficult to talk to because he would only bother giving his attention to the people he liked. He was also ruthless when dealing with his enemies, which was one of the many reasons for his demerit and demotion.

Moreover, Xu Kou was already annoyed that Wang Baoyue had escaped from his grasp, so he was in a bad mood.

Xu Kou reached out and casually grabbed someone’s scalp, tearing off a patch of bloodied scalp along with some hair.

The man screamed and covered his head while rolling on the floor, writhing in pain.

Although Liu Hu had killed several people and seen her fair share of dead bodies, she could not help but exclaim when she saw this bloody scene.

The other men with tiger tattoos were unafraid. They quickly whipped out their daggers. One of them even aimed his gun at Xu Kou.

Xu Kou let out an evil laugh before appearing in front of the man with the gun. He grabbed the gun barrel and twisted it without effort, deforming the gun. Then he snatched the gun and shoved the twisted muzzle into the man’s mouth, breaking the man’s teeth and jaw.

When Xu Kou did a spin kick, a few men collapsed to the floor with broken bones and torn muscles, unable to stand up. They could only lie on the ground and whine in pain.

Even so, the rest were still unwilling to give up. One of them shouted, “If you’re so brave, leave your name with us, and we’ll show you how powerful our master is!”

If these people surrendered, Xu Kou would have let them go. However, they retorted and stirred up Xu Kou’s temper. Xu Kou casually threw a backhand slap, deforming half of the man’s face. The man spat out more than a dozen teeth with blood while he fell to the floor. More blood gushed out of his ears.

Then, Xu Kou pinched one of the man’s arms and said, “My hearing isn’t great. Why don’t you repeat that?”

While speaking, Xu Kou crushed the man’s arm bit by bit. The man’s screams echoed through the brothel. However, no one dared to come forward to intervene. They only watched from a distance. This man’s other companions were now sweating bullets, and they dared not say a word.

At this time, Qi Xuansu had already led Liu Hu into the private room.

This private room was much larger than the one that Xu Kou ordered. There was a round table in the middle, where a woman was lying on her back with her limbs spread out and tied to the legs of the table using strips of her torn clothes.

The woman was left with only a middle garment that was half undone, revealing the many scars on her chest. Her middle garment was drenched in wine, so it clung to her body, showing off her slender curves.

A young man with his chest and abdomen exposed was lying on top of the woman. When he saw someone barging in, he stared at them with hostility.

“Is this how the upper class plays now? Is this what they call good family upbringing?” Qi Xuansu immediately thought of Liu Futong from Ecstasy Paradise.

Last time, Su Ran had covered Liu Hu’s eyes before the girl could see anything. This time, her eyes widened in shock at the debauchery before her.

“Who are you?” The young man demanded.

Qi Xuansu smiled. “Someone who will cause trouble for you.”

The young man took a deep breath. His expression turned more ferocious. “Then do you know who I am?!”

“I don’t, and I’m not interested to know.” Qi Xuansu warned, “No matter who you are, you’re bound to get beaten today…unless you can give me a reasonable explanation.”

As he spoke, Qi Xuansu began to flex his wrists while he walked toward the young man.

The young man did not want to sit and wait for death to befall. He struck Qi Xuansu with a flying kick, but Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand to catch the young man’s leg and threw him down.

The young man fell with his face to the floor, unable to get up.

At this moment, Xu Kou walked in, with a small blood stain on the corner of his robe. He casually stepped on the young man’s head. If he exerted the slightest force, the young man’s life would be in danger.

“Brother Wei, why bother talking nonsense to these people? Just beat them up first.” Xu Kou was not polite at all.

Qi Xuansu pursed his lips. “But that won’t teach them anything.”

“You’re right. Let’s teach him a lesson since his parents failed to do so.” Xu Kou decided to be nice.

The young man could not bear it anymore. He shouted hysterically, “Who the hell are you people? Why do you care if I’m fucking that woman when her family doesn’t even have any objections?! Why the hell are you so nosy?”

Xu Kou nudged the man with the tip of his boot and scoffed. “Boy, do you know why I want to teach you a lesson? I don’t care if you fuck women or men. But your yelling and screaming disturbed my drinking session. Got it?”

Qi Xuansu did not speak. He thought to himself, Is this what they mean by it takes evil to punish evil?

“Go and untie her.” Qi Xuansu patted Liu Hu on the shoulder.

Liu Hu responded and stepped forward to untie the woman’s hands and feet. Although Liu Hu was just a teenage girl, she was at the Kunlun stage, so she was strong enough to lift the woman off the table without effort.

Qi Xuansu thought that it was not appropriate to just walk away after beating the man. If so, they might be doing the girl more harm than good. That was why he did not just sit back and watch.

While Qi Xuansu was deep in thought, the manager of the brothel finally appeared. She was a middle-aged, charming woman with a wry smile on her face. She dared not say anything because she could tell how powerful these two men were and did not want to offend them.

Xu Kou turned to look at the manager. “Isn’t it time to get your backer to show up? Go on then. I’ll wait here.”
