Chapter 5: I can go faster than a bullet!!

A cold voice, sonorous like a bell, echoed throughout the venue. Whoosh whoosh whoosh! People around turned their heads to have a look. They saw a young man dressed in a green casual outfit, hands in his pockets, sauntering over. There was a certain flair about him... That year, with my hands in my pockets, I didn't know what an opponent was. Gavin's movements paused slightly, and he frowned in displeasure, "Who the hell are you?" Ben spat out three words, "Ben Xiao." Ben Xiao? Wasn't Ben the very person he was looking for today? So young? Ben added, "Douglas, I killed him." Hiss! Gavin took a deep breath, stunned for a moment, his brain not quite catching up. Daring to admit in front of me that he killed Douglas? Is there such an idiot in the world? "Ben, didn't I tell you to run away to the airport? What are you doing back here?!!" Pearl, seeing Ben, stomped her feet in anger. Her painstaking efforts were in vain. Ben, "I just couldn't stop worrying about you." Pearl felt somewhat warmed by this, but still glared at Ben unhappily, "Speak human." Ben, with a nonchalant face, "I just called Uncle Angus, learned about the bet you made with him..." Pearl was confused, "And then?" Ben revealed an innocently harmless smile, "I have to stay, to give you a chance to pursue me and fall in love with me. Otherwise, wouldn't that disappoint you?" "I've never experienced being actively pursued by a woman before, I want to experience it." Pearl was dumbfounded, her fiery gaze clearly spelled two letters, Idiot! "Hahaha! This is killing me. Ben, my Ye family has been searching everywhere for you, and you actually show up on your own? And dare to flaunt love with my goddess? You think you're worthy?" Gavin laughed uproariously. Ben and Pearl's marriage was a secret, known to very few. Naturally, Gavin was unaware. Although what Pearl said made Gavin feel that their relationship might be unusual, he didn't believe Pearl was married. After all, being one of Zhonghai City's three goddesses, how could her marriage be so low-key? Maybe they were just dating. Even so, Gavin still couldn't accept it, raging uncontrollably. "Someone, tie him up. Take him back for my father to deal with!" Whoosh whoosh! Behind him, hundreds of men in black immediately had over a dozen rushing towards Ben with ropes. Gavin smugly said, "Ben, I see you're also pursuing Pearl. But soon, she'll become my plaything. The goddess you dream of obtaining, I can play with as I please. Hahaha..." Laughing, Gavin suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. Because, the dozen or so strong men who had rushed towards Ben fell down. They passed out. From beginning to end, Gavin didn't see how Ben made his move. "Hmm? Good at fighting, huh?" Gavin frowned slightly, his expression fierce, "Then I want to see how many you can fight. Everyone, attack, beat him to death. I'll take responsibility for any casualties!" Boom boom boom! More than eighty strong men, wielding steel pipes, charged at Ben. "Dare to attack King of Jiang Bei's men, tired of living!" "Crush his roots!" "In Jiang Bei's six districts, no one dares to say a word against the Ye family. He's broken the taboo, beat him to death!" "Beat!!!" "Ben..." Pearl instinctively shouted, about to push him away. But she found that Ben had disappeared from his spot. In the blink of an eye, Ben was back in his original position. Pearl didn't even see where Ben went or what he did... The eighty or so strong men ahead were already lying on the ground, screaming in agony. None of them could stand up. A scene of wailing and bloodshed! Silence! Dead silence! So fast! Hunk's view of Ben changed, he couldn't believe such a formidable man existed! But it seemed like he realized something and sighed. Ben, hands in his pockets, stared at Gavin, "Too few people, not enough, far from enough. Why don't you call for more people?" Gavin was a tough character too. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly steadied his mentality, his gaze becoming severe and fierce. Whoosh! Gavin suddenly pulled out a specially made handgun, aiming it at Ben's head, "Kid, you're indeed good at fighting. But, can you outfight the gun in my hand? No matter how fast you are, can you outrun a bullet?" "Kneel down immediately, and kowtow to me!" Hunk shook his head and sighed, muttering, "Young man, you're still too naive. The mistake I made, you insist on repeating. Ah, such a promising young man, it ends up like this." Pearl was anxious for Ben, rushing to grip his arm tightly, whispering, "Ben, don't show off, life is more important. Yield for now, I'll find a way later. Do you hear me?" Ben shook his head, "Yield? Sorry, there's no such word in my dictionary." Pearl was shocked, "Are you crazy? He has a gun!!" Ben, hands in his pockets, "So what if he has a gun?" Then, Ben broke free from Pearl's grip, took a step forward, and faced Gavin's gun directly. Gavin, with a fierce face, "Ben, you think I won't shoot? I've killed people before!" Ben, hands in his pockets, laughed, "If you dare to shoot, for every bullet you fire, I'll break one of your fingers." Pearl felt that Ben was being unreasonable, her body tensed to the extreme, her mind exploding, "Crazy, absolutely crazy. Even if you're good at fighting, how can you fight against a gun..." "Crazy enough! If you're seeking death, fine, I'll grant it!" Gavin, already a ruthless character, pulled the trigger. Bang! The deafening sound of the gun exploded throughout the venue, making everyone's hearts skip a beat, their legs trembling uncontrollably. At a distance of ten meters, Gavin was absolutely confident in his marksmanship. The shot just now, was supposed to be a headshot. But, after the shot, Ben was perfectly fine, without a wound on his head. Huh? What happened? Where did the bullet go? Gavin looked around. "Stop looking, it's here." Ben raised his right hand, slowly opening it, "You just asked me, can I outrun a bullet? Yes, I can!" A bullet head, lying steadily in the palm. Silence! Dead silence throughout the venue! Unique, Pearl, Hunk, and others were all dumbfounded, their eyeballs nearly popping out... How is this possible? Is this magic? "How could this be?!!" Gavin was suddenly shocked, sweating profusely. Ben toyed with the bullet head in his hand, taunting, "Soros model revolver, loaded with nine bullets. You still have the chance to fire eight shots. Cherish it, aim before you shoot." "I missed just now, but next, I'm going to blow your head off. Even a master of internal energy wouldn't dare to face a gun at such close range. Who do you think you are?!!" "Go to hell, hahaha!" Gavin roared, aiming at Ben, and pulled the trigger repeatedly. Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! Eight deafening gunshots exploded throughout the hall. Everything quieted down. Swish! Everyone stared at Ben. Gavin instinctively thought Ben was dead, but upon closer inspection, he found Ben still standing there unharmed, without any trace of gunshot wounds. How is he still standing? Where are the bullets? He looked around, wiping his eyes, fearing he was seeing things. "Stop looking, the bullets, all here." Ben opened his right hand, nine bullet heads, not one missing. Clang clang! The bullets slid to the ground one by one. "How could..." Gavin, terrified, sat on the ground, trembling. He incredulously stared at Ben! This guy's strength had surpassed Gavin's understanding. It took a while for Gavin to stagger up and walk towards the hall entrance, "Ben, you're ruthless. Let's call it quits for today. But the matter of you killing Douglas is not over." Ben coldly spoke, "Did I let you go?" Gavin stopped in his tracks, turned back, and roared, "What else do you want? Do you dare to kill me? My dad is the King of Jiang Bei! If it weren't for my dad preparing for his 50th birthday tomorrow, he would have come to deal with you himself today." Ben picked up a dagger that had fallen to the ground, slowly walking towards Gavin, "I said, for every bullet you fire at me, I will break one of your fingers. Did you think I was joking?" "You dare..." Before Gavin could finish, he was pinned to the ground by Ben, unable to move. "My dad is the King of Jiang Bei, dare to touch a finger of mine and see... Ah!" Before he could finish, Ben swiftly cut off his left thumb. "Ben!!! My dad won't let you go... Ah!" Ben didn't respond, chopping again, severing his left index finger! "Ben, my dad is the King of JiangBei... Ahhhh!" Endless screams. Until all nine fingers were chopped off. Ben then stopped, crushing the nine fingers scattered on the ground with his foot, "Now, you can go." Gavin initially wanted to pick up his severed fingers, hoping they could be reattached. But he hadn't anticipated Ben to be so ruthless. "Ben, you will die!!! I will exterminate your entire family!!" Bang! Ben kicked him away, "Go back and tell your dad, tomorrow on his 50th birthday, I, Ben, will personally visit, and also, send him to the afterlife." "Fine, I'll wait for you at the Ye's tomorrow, don't come if you're a coward!" Leaving those words behind, Gavin fled disgracefully. After the scene was cleaned up, Pearl rushed to Ben, staring at him intensely. Wanting to speak, but not knowing how to start. Mixed feelings. Shock, anger, helplessness, sadness... Hunk sighed deeply, "Ah, humiliating Gavin like this, how could the King of Jiang Bei let you off? The King of Jiang Bei has been in control of the six districts of Jiang Bei for more than five years. Even the Jiang Bei Inspection Office is under his control. In Jiang Bei, he decides who dies at the third watch, and no one survives past the fifth watch. Even if you can block bullets, it's still a reckless act. You can't even imagine how powerful the King of Jiang Bei is..." "Ms. Mu, I hereby resign from all positions at Rainbow Security Group, and I will bear all the penalties for breach of contract. Farewell!" With that, Hunk left directly. Pearl, trembling with anger, glared at Ben, "I told you to leave, even bought your plane ticket, why did you come back?!" Ben said something against his will and very sensational, "I couldn't bear to leave you to face all this alone." Pearl stared at the man in front of her, unsure whether his words were true or false. But, it sounded very touching. Sigh! Pearl sighed helplessly, "Ben, I know you're strong. But, it's really useless. In this world, what matters are wealth and power. The rules of the mundane world are only meant to restrain ordinary people. And the King of Jiang Bei is not only a martial arts expert, but he also has Master Chen by his side. He has trained a private army and can even mobilize the armed forces of the Jiang Bei Inspection Office. Do you understand?" "I, Rainbow Security Group, even including my family, will be implicated because of your impulsiveness. Ah, you're too impulsive!" Pearl did not continue to blame Ben, because the way Ben stood up to protect her earlier moved her. She grabbed Ben's hand and headed outside, "Now, you come with me to plead with Second Uncle. If he intervenes, maybe he can save your life." Ben felt a warmth in his heart, "Aren't you and your Second Uncle on bad terms? Why plead with him?" Swish! Pearl suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes reddening, "Isn't it for you? You came back for me, I can't just watch you die, can I?" Ben grinned, "Have you fallen for me?" "What time is it, and you're still joking? You're really infuriating. Let's go!" Pearl pulled Ben into the sports car, then instructed, "I'm going to call Second Uncle now, you stay in the car and don't move." After making the call by the car, she returned to find Ben was gone. "This jerk, where did he go?" No answer to her calls. Pearl was furious, then noticed a note left in the car. Written by Ben, it read, "Blue enchantress is not bad, but I prefer red." Pearl gritted her teeth, "…" ... JiangBei, Ye's residence. In a medical room, Douglas's headless body was laid out. Gavin, severely injured, lay beside, being bandaged by medical personnel. Suddenly, a chilling voice came through. "Who dares to kill my disciple and sever my son's fingers?!" A middle-aged man dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit strode in majestically. All the medical staff immediately bent over to salute. King of Jiang Bei, Eric Ye. Tears streamed down Gavin's face on the bed, "Dad, his name is Ben, an unknown nobody, but he can fight. He also said he will come to celebrate your birthday tomorrow." Boom! Eric smashed the marble tile on the floor with one foot, furious, "Ben?!! A mere ant dares to challenge the authority of the King of Jiang Bei. Tomorrow, I will show you the overwhelming power of the King of Jiang Bei! I will annihilate your entire family!!"
