Chapter 356

the moment he was pointed at, he dropped to his knees, Xiao was infuriated by his cowardice, he stood and pounced on him.

"You idiot, you can't even fight a lady, and you call yourself a man" he ranted while kicking him.

The man on the floor started wailing "master, why don't you, use the time you are beating me to catch her" he suggested, he felt unjust to be maltreated.

Xiao humphed and turned to Jeane, he didn't say anything at first, he turned towards the men holding her foster parents hostage.

"Go get her, we have little time to play around here" he ordered and sat down leisurely, the two men standing, contemplated before biting the bullet.

All this time, Jeane was looking at them with lips pursed tightly and her arms folded, she wasn't impressed "Xiao, you don't need to fight us, we have half of the money already, and I planning to send half of it tomorrow, why don't you wait till Month's end, the restaurant having been doing fine lately, and we know you are our benefactor, we are deeply indebted to you, we also plan to pay the profit, what do you think?" Jeane proposed.

Xiao felt insulted, he gritted his teeth in annoyance glaring at her "nonsense, go get her" he snapped at the men, slowing to reach Jeane.

The moment they reached two metres close, Jeane swung into action, her movements were swift, and her attacks were lethal, rendering the two men against her, immobile in a few seconds.

Xiao's back was covered in a cold sweat, he swallowed the lump of saliva in his throat, he was a strong boss, he stood with pride, and a stern look on his face.

"You are a good fighter, I will let you for now, but remember, you must marry me, with your consent or not," he said proudly and wanted to leave.

Jeane's foster parents that were kneeling before stood on their fight with waring intent, they went at Xiao who wanted to escape unscathed, their sudden attack startled Xiao, who shivered a little.

He quickly masked his terrified face with a warning look "don't think I am a coward, I have been running the underworld for a long time, I will beat you all up if any of you dare lay a finger on me" he threatened, his voice loud enough to send shivers down the spine of his enemy.

Jeane's adopted father stepped back a little, but the woman became braver, she grabbed his clothe and glared at him "Xiao, you didn't run any underworld, you were just a messenger elevated to handle some government levies, stop threatening me" she grabbed his neck.

Xiao's frown deepened "how do you know that? You like spouting nonsense, Ming, I am warning you now, let me go or else" he dimmed his eyes.

But the woman was having none of it, she lifted her palm and landed it on his cheek.

Smack!

At that
