On the streets of Utan City, Xiao Jian, accompanied by Payen and a ten-man squad, headed to the medicine merchant's store identified by Xiao Tong.
This store was newly opened under Huang Jing's subordinates.
The Xiao family had previously cooperated with Huang Jing's stores, so this store had a weakness to exploit.
At the entrance were two guards of Dou Qi Stage Eight, and inside was a Dou Zhe-level aura, probably two to three stars.
Sensing the guard configuration, Xiao Jian's lips curved slightly, and he walked forward confidently.
Seeing Xiao Jian's imposing approach, the two guards hesitated, wary of Payen's team, but still blocked him.
After all, losing their jobs was not an option.
"Step aside if you don't want to die."
Xiao Jian's expression was calm, but his gaze was indifferent.
"Third Young Master Xiao, we're just doing our duty."
The two guards said with a bitter smile.
Although they had never seen Xiao Jian before, they recognized him immediately as the famous handsome young master of Utan City.
Xiao Jian didn't wish to trouble them unnecessarily and walked directly between the two, Dou Qi circulating as his steps changed.
The guards felt a blur before a pair of warm hands covered their necks.
The intense Dou Qi sent a chilling sensation from their soles to the crown of their heads, and cold sweat drenched their clothes.
"Don't move. High-level Huang Stage Battle Skill: Iron Mountain Fist.
While the palm's force is slightly weaker, your necks certainly can't withstand it."
Xiao Jian's voice sounded behind them, playful yet like the whisper of a demon from hell.
Payen's team, all Dou Qi Stage Nine Dou Zhe, were shocked, unable to comprehend the Third Young Master's speed and skill.
This Huang Stage high-level skill required at least Dou Qi Stage Seven!
"I didn't want to trouble you, but I've changed my mind. You can either try to fight and see if your reflexes are faster than me snapping your heads off, or join my team and work for the Xiao family."
Xiao Jian's words left the guards no choice; facing a giant like the Xiao family, the medicine merchant's store was no comparison.
"We're willing to join Third Young Master Xiao's team!"
The two quickly agreed.
"Good."
Xiao Jian retracted the force in his palms and entered the store.
Payen's team followed closely.
The two guards, shaken and relieved, were full of lingering fear.
Damn it! Who said the Xiao family Third Young Master couldn't cultivate Dou Qi?
That speed and skill just now surpassed ordinary Dou Zhe-level combatants!
"Follow him; this Third Young Master surely has a bright future."
The two glanced at each other, understanding, and entered the store with the group.
"Third Young Master, what is this about?"
The store manager couldn't sense Xiao Jian's earlier actions but noticed Payen's team.
He realized trouble had come, but with such strong reinforcements, he could only greet them with a smile.
"Your medicine caused issues. You have a chance to explain, or try to stop me, but either way, this store is now part of the Xiao family."
Xiao Jian said coldly, showing no mercy.
"Third Young Master Xiao, isn't this too overbearing?" The manager's smile vanished as he asked sternly.
Xiao Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, his aura radiating authority like a storm ready to descend.
"Overbearing? I call it taking responsibility. This is Utan City, not a playground.
If you can't uphold your duties properly, someone has to do it for you."
The manager swallowed hard, realizing that resistance was futile.
Even if he wanted to argue, the ten Dou Qi Stage Nine warriors flanking Xiao Jian made it impossible.
His pride trembled under the Third Young Master's presence.
Xiao Jian let out a long, exaggerated sigh, shaking his head as if disappointed in the world.
Then, with a subtle gesture of his hand, he commanded:
Payen, show them what happens when rules are broken!"
Payen and the team immediately surged forward, surrounding the manager and the store like a tightening net, leaving no room for escape.
The manager's heart pounded in terror, realizing the full weight of Xiao Jian's overbearing authority.
