ABCFWGR Chapter 49

 "Little girl, you're playing with fire!" the bearded man exclaimed angrily.

Even if she was willing to give it away, not selling it to him was a direct insult.

"The rules must not be broken. I can give it to you, but you can't snatch it!" Ouya's face turned icy.

"Hmph!" The bearded man glared at her fiercely, then turned to the second floor and loudly proclaimed, "I am Cui Hanshan. I kindly ask everyone not to interfere in this matter."

"Of course, if you insist on interfering, I won't stop you. But before that, you need to remind your respective families to fortify their defenses."

Was this man mad or just plain stupid? His words were beyond audacious!

He was openly challenging everyone present. He was either insane or foolish!

"Cui Hanshan? Longya Cui Hanshan?"

Suddenly, a cry of astonishment came from private box number three.

The bearded man turned to look, calmly acknowledging, "Indeed!"

The window of private box number three opened, and someone bowed respectfully. "Forgive my ignorance. I shall take my leave. If Mr. Cui has the time in the future, he is welcome to visit my Wang family."

"Oh? It's a surprise to meet an acquaintance here. Please convey my regards to the Wang family head." Cui Hanshan was also somewhat surprised.

The other party nodded and quickly departed.

This scene, however, left the remaining people feeling uneasy.

Longya.

Everyone knew it was both the name of the city and a mountain.

"Is Longya Cui Hanshan very famous?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

Liu Hanyan shook her head. "I know about the Longya Wang family. They made their fortune with entertainment venues and are considered the richest in Longya. But the name Cui Hanshan, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Chen Xingxian was even more clueless. He knew even less about such matters.

"Whether you're shaking mountains or waters, let me test the depth first."

As soon as the words fell, the window of private box number eleven shattered.

An old man with a hooked nose gracefully descended.

"Since you're not willing to give me, Cui, face, state your family name." Cui Hanshan said coldly.

The man with the hooked nose looked gloomy. "Duan Wuji from the Duan family of Yuncheng."

"Very well, I'll remember that!" Cui Hanshan nodded.

In the next moment, he dashed forward like lightning and grabbed Duan Wuji by the neck.

A cracking sound!

A trace of blood seeped from the hooked nose's mouth.

Before he could even make a sound, he perished on the spot.

Cui Hanshan was clearly enraged and showed no mercy in his actions. He held up the hooked nose's corpse and roared, "You bunch of scoundrels, ignoring my kind negotiations and opting for a fight instead!"

With that, he threw the hooked nose's body back into private box number eleven with such force that it smashed a large hole in the wall.

"Duan Wuji is a master of Hua Jin. How could he not even have a chance to retaliate?"

"Could this person be a Grandmaster? If so, we're no match for him!"

"He doesn't seem like a Grandmaster, but he's definitely not an ordinary expert of Hua Jin!"

It was clear that the people speaking were familiar with the hooked nose.

Upon hearing these words, Ouya's heart sank. Could this person be the one she was looking for?

"Why speak nonsense?"

"This person is too arrogant, completely disregarding our families. We might as well all attack together."

"After we take him down, we can discuss the distribution of the Five Elements Spiritual Herb. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Someone made an unabashed suggestion.

Cui Hanshan sneered disdainfully, "A bunch of rats, trying to gang up on the outnumbered? Come at me, and I'll snap a neck for every one of you."

"It'll save me the trouble!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, people broke through the windows.

In the blink of an eye, six more figures appeared downstairs.

"Sir Cui, regardless of your reputation in Longya, we don't recognize you!"

"Don't be too arrogant. If you're not given a lesson now, will your tail only rise higher?"

"If you surrender now, we might spare your life. Otherwise, your blood will stain the ground!"

...

The six people, one after another, found excuses, each more righteous than the last.

As if they weren't after the Five Elements Spiritual Herb, but were instead acting for justice.

"Ha-ha-ha!"

Cui Hanshan showed no fear. "A bunch of self-righteous rats. Come on, then!"

"Let's take him down together!"

All six of them attacked simultaneously, each with a killing move.

Inside private box number three.

Liu Hanyan covered her face. "These people... are beyond words!"

As fellow members of noble families, she felt deeply disgusted.

People could be despicable, but using grandiose reasons to disguise their intentions was sickening.

"They're no match for Cui Hanshan."

Gu Chen's focus was not on the commotion downstairs. He glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze.

"Even six people joining forces can't defeat him?" Liu Hanyan couldn't help but be surprised.

Although she despised the character of those seven individuals, she couldn't deny that they were skilled. Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to sit in the private boxes.

"Cui Hanshan is a Grandmaster in Hua Jin. The strongest among those six is only at the mid-stage of Hua Jin, and the gap cannot be compensated for by numbers alone."

Gu Chen explained casually, then added, "The people in private box number one seem to have never shown themselves."

Upon his reminder, Liu Hanyan and Chen Xingxian finally noticed this detail.

"What background does the person in private box number one have?" Gu Chen continued to inquire.

Liu Hanyan and Chen Xingxian had no idea and could only shake their heads in response.

The unknown represented danger.

Gu Chen frowned deeply, realizing that the real trouble might not lie with Cui Hanshan, but rather with the owner of private box number one, who had yet to reveal themselves.

"Who else?"

Meanwhile, downstairs, Cui Hanshan's voice rang out.

Looking around, all six of the expert fighters lay dead on the ground, each with their necks twisted.

Cui Hanshan, now with a hint of hostility emanating from him, approached Ouya step by step, with a murderous aura lingering around him.

Protected by Lin Yuanbiao, Ouya retreated step by step, her face extremely unsightly.

But her pride wouldn't allow her to bow down. She looked towards the remaining private boxes, numbers one and three, and shouted, "Are you two really going to watch as this person robs us of the Five Elements Spiritual Herb?"

Hearing this, Cui Hanshan finally noticed that there were still two private boxes left, neither having left nor taken action.

He couldn't help but pause, waiting for what would come next.

"Sorry, I just fell asleep and didn't get involved in your affairs."

A melodious and lively female voice came from private box number one.

A woman?

Gu Chen furrowed his brows, feeling a hint of familiarity in the voice.
