Chen Hao and Su Han both ended up in the police station.
No matter how invincible you are as the protagonist, you still can't compare to the will of the nation.
Inside the police station, Chen Hao and Su Han glared at each other fiercely.
It was as if they harbored some deep-seated hatred.
The police officers were also extremely frustrated. They particularly hated dealing with conflicts between martial artists in their daily work.
Martial artists, relying on their formidable strength, often engaged in private duels, causing chaos and disruption.
"Scholars disrupt the law with their words; warriors violate it with their fists."
Dragon Country once had a policy to ban martial arts, but it was later abolished. However, relevant laws were enacted, with thousands of regulations specifically aimed at restraining martial artists.
It is said that decades ago, when the management of martial artists wasn't particularly strict, Dragon Country once hosted a martial arts tournament.
That tournament was a spectacle of extraordinary feats, but it was also utterly outrageous. The competition was brutal beyond belief.
It was something even movies wouldn't dare to depict. Over three thousand people signed up for the tournament, and by the end... more than two thousand five hundred were injured or killed. Over a thousand had broken arms or legs, and nearly a third of the martial artists died.
Hundreds of masters at the "Transformed Strength" level perished, and even several grandmasters at the "Divine Strength" level met their demise.
Since then, no martial arts tournament has been held. After all, the idea that "there is no second place in martial arts" has long been ingrained in people's minds.
The title of "Martial Arts Champion" was enough to move even the grandmasters.
However, after that tournament, the crime rate among martial artists in Dragon Country saw a significant decline, and public security improved considerably.
...
"I'm going to kill you!"
Even in the police station, Su Han couldn't stay quiet. The moment he saw Chen Hao, he wanted to punch him.
Chen Hao was baffled. What had he done to provoke this guy?
Why was Su Han so hell-bent on killing him?
Shouldn't it be the other way around? This guy had spat in his face last time!
"Enough! Stop shouting!"
A cold, sharp voice rang out.
A graceful figure stepped forward. Wang Yanran had no fondness for these high-and-mighty martial artists who were always causing trouble and disrupting public order.
The crime rate among martial artists was about five times higher than that of ordinary people. Police officers in Dragon Country generally had a poor impression of martial artists, especially those who abused their strength and acted recklessly. It was like seeing a troublemaker walking down the street.
Both Su Han and Chen Hao turned their heads, their gazes filled with infatuation as they looked at Wang Yanran.
Wang Yanran frowned, her beautiful eyes narrowing in disgust. That look... it was nauseating.
"Why were you two fighting?"
Mentioning the fight, Chen Hao felt wronged. He had been standing guard at the entrance of his neighborhood when he was suddenly ambushed by Su Han, who delivered a flying kick that nearly sent him to meet his ancestors.
"Officer, I have no grudge against this guy. He attacked me out of nowhere. You can check the surveillance footage. I'm the victim here. He hit me first!"
Su Han, hearing Chen Hao's words, was equally furious.
"Bullshit! Your Chen family annihilated my Su family! This is an irreconcilable blood feud. I won't just beat you... I'm going to kill you!"
After saying this, Su Han felt a twinge of unease.
Chen Hao was the young master of the Chen family, and his cultivation level was already on par with his own. Did that mean the Chen family didn't have any "Transformed Strength" level experts?
Could the intelligence Monkey provided be wrong?
But after a moment of thought, he shook his head firmly.
No, that couldn't be. Monkey had been through life-and-death situations with him over the years. Although they had never met in person, Monkey's help to their Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps had been invaluable. His almost miraculous hacking skills had saved them countless times.
Chen Hao was confused, sizing up Su Han.
"You are..."
"I'm Su Han. Your Chen family wiped out my entire Su family years ago. Don't let me find an opportunity, or I will annihilate your Chen family!"
"You're talking nonsense! My Chen family practices the Way of Tai Chi. We focus on self-cultivation and never meddle in worldly affairs. We've never wiped out anyone's family!"
Su Han burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Do you think I'd believe that? Just wait... Once I break through to the 'Transformed Strength' level, everyone in your Chen family will die!"
Chen Hao was also enraged. "With your intelligence, it's no wonder your family was wiped out. And I'll tell you this—your so-called Su family was indeed annihilated by my Chen family. What are you going to do about it? Huh? Pissed off, aren't you?"
"Say that again, I dare you!"
"I dare! Pissed off, pissed off, neener neener~~~"
"BANG!!!" Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Wang Yanran slammed her hand on the table, and several police officers stood up.
This was no joke. Talking about wiping out entire families... these two sounded like serious trouble.
As for their claims of family annihilation, the police would naturally investigate, but it was unlikely to yield any results. After all, events from decades ago were difficult to reopen and investigate.
Moreover, once it involved martial arts families, it fell outside the jurisdiction of ordinary law and had to be reported to the specialized investigation bureau. It was no longer their responsibility.
...
In the end, Chen Hao was detained for seven days for fighting.
Su Han, however, faced a harsher fate: six months in prison.
This was completely unacceptable to Su Han. If he went to prison, he would lose his job as a security guard. He was counting on that position to get closer to Gu Lingfei and win her heart...
"It seems I'll have to use my connections."
Clearly, Su Han had his own network of contacts. A mere police station couldn't hold him.
......
Meanwhile, at a horse ranch in the outskirts of Hangzhou.
Jiang Che was riding horses with Yu Wan'er and the others—yes, actual horses.
Qin Qiaoqiao and Yu Wan'er were now part of his inner circle, and he wanted to show them a bit of the high life.
In this privately owned ranch, a top-tier horse could easily cost over a million.
It was a playground for the children of the elite. After all, when you've had your fill of luxury cars and beautiful women, horses become the next indulgence.
And Young Master Jiang had casually booked the entire ranch!
They spent the entire afternoon there, only leaving as dusk fell, thoroughly satisfied.
Jiang Che helped Yu Wan'er into the car, only to notice that Monkey had sent him a message.
[Boss, Su Han has been bailed out.]
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. He had been keeping a close eye on these so-called "protagonists," monitoring their every move. Naturally, he knew about Su Han and Chen Hao's fight and their subsequent arrest.
But he hadn't expected Su Han to be released so quickly.
It seemed someone was pulling strings behind the scenes. Then again, it made sense. If Su Han didn't have powerful backing, how could a foreign mercenary leader like him have entered Dragon Country so easily?
