Lazily Yours.

"Hmph! Your daughter is really…" Huang Li Duo's face darkened. "Seeing Lyca stroke Shen Qui's hand in front of Young Master Long…"

"If you like that Long Yi so much then why not make your daughter marry him?" Huang Sheng Hong said. He hated how this Huang Li Duo acted like Long Yi was already his daughter's fiance! First and foremost, Huang Sheng Hong was not planning to involve himself in his daughter's marriage.

True, he was protective and feared that someone would hurt his princess but he couldn't put her in a cage forever. Moreover, he couldn't just stand by and watch as his daughter married someone she doesn't like either. And Huang Sheng Hong was smart enough to know that Lyca would never like this Long Yi. Ever!

"Alright! Let's start!" Long Yi's voice echoed. Watching Lyca act oblivious was really making him irritated, he already made a mental note to make this Shen Qui suffer soon. SOON!

The two immediately went inside the cage-like ring.

"Let's not waste anymore time." Long Yi uttered as Lyca went back to eating her gr.a.p.es. "Start!" Long Yi said while pressing the timer.

When Shen Qui heard Long Yi's words, he immediately turned alert, his body had become more agile and light. Coupled with his training, he was extremely confident that he could win against this traitor. He held the whip before his feet sprang towards Chuck— an action that surprised Chuck. After all, he was holding a dagger while Shen Qui was using a whip. Coming closer would be disadvantageous for Shen Qui.

"Foo!" He spat, his hands tight around his dagger. Lashing out the dagger, his feet were already taking a step forward. His plan was simple. Exhaust Shen Qui's energy by making him defend himself. However, Shen Qui's agility surprised him. He missed? No— Shen Qui was no longer in front of him!

Before he could even turn around, Shen Qui's strong arms had already grabbed him in a forearm lock around his throat. Shen Qui had a choke hold on him. However, Chuck soon recovered and tried to elbow the man, doing a maneuver that was supposed to make Shen Qui let him go.

Sadly, Shen Qui had anticipated such actions. He snorted and held Chuck's body tightened until both of them hit the floor, making Chuck struggle in breathing. However, Shen Qui used this opportunity to wrap his legs around the man's waist. As he slowly used his whip, and cut Chuck's arm and neck.

"This is full of poison." He said.

Chuck's eyes went so wide as he felt his arms slowly lose its strength, turning limp. He opened his mouth to say something but even his throat started to go numb. What was happening? Seeing this, Shen Qui gave an evil smirk and changed the choke hold into a shoulder lock. After all, performing an arm lock or shoulder lock against someone who can't move is easier. Moreover, since they were already on the floor, not many people would notice that Chuck had already lost the ability to move his arms.

Shen Qui met Chuck's wide eyes. If the man would tap three times, then Shen Qui won't have a choice but to let go as that was a sign of surrender. Too bad…

With Chuck's paralyzed arms, he had no way of tapping.

*CRACK*

Shen Qui's cold eyes coupled with the evil smirk in his face was the last thing that Chuck saw before he lost his consciousness.

Silence followed.

"You— What did you do?" It was one of the men that accompanied the Long Father and Son.

Shen Qui's face turned stern as he slowly stood. The fight didn't even last a minute. He immediately let the medical team inside the ring as he stood up, his hand on the whip while his eyes met Lyca's. Seeing Lyca beam at him, giving him a thumbs up, the sternness in his face disappeared for a few seconds.

"He didn't tap." Shen Qui shrugged as the Long Father and Son along with Old Man Huang walked inside the ring.

"Broken shoulders. He should be fine." The doctor said as he instructed his people to bring a stretcher so they could carry him out of the ring. Everyone turned their eyes towards Shen Qui. Everything happened so quickly that they didn't notice anything wrong with his words.

"Ladies and gentlemen…" This time it was Huang Sheng Hong who spoke. He stood and looked at everyone. "Shen Qui already tried his best not to hit his opponent knowing that the whip was laced with paralyzing poison. However, in the middle of a real fight, people will always make mistakes. On behalf of our Huang Security. I would like to apologize to everyone for finishing the fight in less than a minute." His tone was extremely sincere as he gave a slight bow.

"A poison?" As expected, a man raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Mr. Tang… all of our weapons are laced with paralyzing poison. One cut and it could paralyze an arm… or a leg." Huang Sheng Hong said all the words that Lyca told him to say. After all, this was all his daughter's plans.

"And you guys make these weapons?"

"Yes, Mr. Li�� we make weapons like this."

"Impressive." These people were businessmen. Of course, they immediately saw the future profits of these weapons. This immediately made the Long Father and Son frown. This is supposed to be their show! They wanted to showcase the difference in strength between the Huang Security and their own Long Family Security Company! How did it become the Huang Family showing off their weapons?

"If your weapons were laced with poison… then…" one man chimed in. "Oh! Is that why the Huang Security just sent out one man to fight against three people?" the man immediately turned excited.

"Yes, sir." Huang Sheng Hong forced out a smile on his face. "In real life and death situations, there are no rules. It is either you survive or you die. This is why our Huang Family tends to focus on practicality and survival rather than showcasing one's ability aesthetically. Thus, we create special weapons like this."
