Holy Fist Chapter 51 – Chapter 51: Deep Sea No. 2" Drug

Chapter 51: Deep Sea No. 2″ Drug
 

18:20, an upscale Tianxistyle restaurant.

The various environmental layouts were highly stylish, with hundreds of character shadow puppets, neatly pruned lush bamboo forests, bluestone paths between the greenery, and blocks of transparent colored glaze brick, creating a style that combined ancient and modern elements.

In one of the elegant private rooms, two figures were seated opposite each other.

As Wei Dong and Bai Xiao enjoyed their gourmet food, they chatted about their glory days of the past. In reality, these were just funny and embarrassing occurrences from their high school days. Most notably, Liang Jing, Lao Liang of the trio, had tried to sneak over the school's fence to go play video games, only to have his pants ripped by a spike and get stuck on the fence.

He nearly had his jewels pierced and broke out in a cold sweat.

That night, he was discovered by the security guards, and by the next day, the whole school was notified.

The entire school knew about Liang Jing almost losing his jewels.

Because of this, Wei Dong and Bai Xiao mocked Liang Jing for a whole semester.

The two of them talked and talked, with Bai Xiao mostly listening and occasionally interjecting. When Wei Dong met friends, he was quite the chatterbox, speaking with such enthusiasm that saliva flew everywhere, growing even more excited as he spoke.

Later on, sipping their beverages, they even started discussing their romantic histories.

It was incredibly fascinating.

Wei Dong claimed to be Nanjiang's number one romantic, and was known as a playboy. He believed he was different from the average second-generation rich kids, who were all just a bunch of cheating jerks who discarded women after having their fun. But not him; he was a romantic jerk with principles. Many girls, even after breaking up with Wei Dong, would still fondly remember him, lingering and feeling manipulated as if they had been duped.

It seemed Wei Dong had a natural talent for relationships, which he had developed on his own.

He shared many pithy sayings with Bai Xiao in the private room.

“When you notice a girl starts affecting your emotional state, delete her immediately, and find the next one!” “Money is to show off to a girl, not to be spent on her.” “If you're buying affection with money, then invest less emotion into it.”

And then the heaviest quote: If you think about it carefully, isn't the purpose of us dressing impeccably just to persuade the other person to get naked with us?

Hey, don't laugh.

Although it's twisted, there's some truth to it.

Bai Xiao listened in one ear and out the other. The philosophies on love and relationships that Wei Dong had realized might work on those who fawn over others, but they were useless to Bai Xiao. He didn't need women at all; beautiful women were just scarce resources at the bottom of the hierarchy. With his rate of progress, he could always have them if he wanted. But why did Bai Xiao need a partner? Humans reproduce for the sake of the tribe, for the next generation, because ultimately, people die.

Yet, he possessed a professional panel and the Dark Red Modifier, with a future that was boundless; there was no need to consciously create a so-called family flaw for himself mid-way. Walking alone on the road could be lonely.

But, you get used to it.

Being with two people or alone, there was no difference. As long as communication between people relied on language and actions, loneliness would always exist. Even with faces pressed together and hands held, it was impossible to break down the barriers.

From birth to death, from babbling to being buried in a coffin.

In this lifetime, the only constant companion you have is yourself.

So, for Bai Xiao, loving himself was enough.

This is commonly known as narcissism!

In his view…

Narcissism is the most self-absorbed and loneliest thing in this world.

19:00, a high-end combat sports club.

Through a friend's introduction, Wei Dong brought Bai Xiao here.

He wanted to see if Bai Xiao's muscular body was the real deal!

Half an hour later, facts proved that Bai Xiao was incredibly fierce, not just ordinarily fierce! Several famous coaches from the upscale combat sports club took turns fighting with Bai Xiao, only to be defeated by his powerful punches one after the other. Bai Xiao's techniques were too comprehensive, including Sandboxing, boxing, Jujutsu, wrestling—he knew them all.

Especially in Sandboxing and boxing, he was masterful, with one coach being defeated in less than three moves, proving his impressive might.

In the end, only the club's champion coach, a former boxing competition champion, was able to exchange blows with Bai Xiao, managing to fight to a draw, because neither was going all out to kill.

“Young Master Wei, your friend is strong! Not just strong, but exceptionally so!”

“He's already better than many professional boxers, and with more dedication and practice in combat sports, winning a few minor combat competitions wouldn't be a problem. He could even possibly make it into those top-tier leagues…”

The club's head coach said with a face full of amazement, praising Bai Xiao.

19:20, inside the car, streetlights streaked by like fleeting rays of light.

Wei Dong glanced in the rear-view mirror at Bai Xiao's inverted triangle-shaped muscular body and clicked his tongue in wonder, “Xiaozi, a punch over two hundred kilos! If you punched me, could it kill me? Or is there a chance for rescue…”

Bai Xiao replied seriously, “A hit to a vital spot could be fatal.”

“For other places, it's not necessarily the case.”

“You're definitely a fighting expert now. Impressive, really impressive!”

Wei Dong praised him twice, apparently recalling a related topic.

He continued, “Old man at home told me to be careful these days, but I don't know what's going on. In a couple of days, he's hiring two professional bodyguards for me. I suspect those two bodyguards are here to monitor me. Wei Nan has long been irritated by my extravagant lifestyle…”

He sighed heavily, finally opening up to Bai Xiao, his friend, “If he hadn't barred me from participating in the core business that the company is working on, would I be wandering around with nothing to do? I'm his biological son! They're keeping the company's business a secret from me? Ridiculous! I'll put it bluntly, if the old man passes away, wouldn't I be the one to inherit the family business…”

Wei Dong glanced at Bai Xiao through the rearview mirror.

“Xiaozi, since you're so good at fighting, why don't you become my bodyguard then? That way, I can send back those two sent by my dad. I can't stand restrictions. Having someone watching over me makes my skin crawl…”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao quickly focused his attention on the road ahead.

But this time, no information popped up on his professional panel.

“Ah…”

The driving Wei Dong let out a sigh.

“Xiaozi, let me take you to one of my dad's branch companies.”

“You can find me there in the future; I'm the manager of that branch.”

Ten minutes later, on the outskirts of Huaisui City's main urban area, a black luxury car smoothly drove over the road's surface and into a park-like area.

At the entrance of the park, a sign with a few artistic characters was affixed to the wall.

“Weinan Biomedical Technology Company.”

Exiting the garage within the park on foot, the two men walked out.

Wei Dong showed Bai Xiao around, and it was clear that the park was spacious with many buildings and three to four warehouses, bordered by a lush forest. Wei Dong's father's company seemed to be very wealthy.

Five minutes later, the two appeared in a gymnasium.

“Xiaozi, I'll remodel this gym tomorrow, hire some professionals to install some fighting equipment and facilities. Then, it can be used both for fitness and fight training. I'll get you a pass, and whenever you want to use the gym facilities in the park, you can come and use them for free…”

Wei Dong really knew how to treat his friends well.

Having only met recently, he had already offered both work and a training venue.

Bai Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed by the generosity.

He had previously thought it would be great to have a dedicated training room, with fitness equipment, combat gear, and professional gear all complete.

To train however he wanted, whenever he wanted.

Now, Wei Dong had inadvertently helped Bai Xiao fulfill a small wish.

The two left the gym, chatting leisurely as they exited the building. Unexpectedly, just as they were leaving the entrance, a sharp alarm sounded. It was the park's intrusion alarm system, usually set up in the company's most secret locations. If it was sounding now, it most likely meant…

“Catch him! Catch him now!”

“He's broken into the warehouse containing the Deepwater II drug!!!”

Shouts could be heard nearby.

Wei Dong and Bai Xiao immediately exchanged glances, then, at the same time, picked up their pace and ran toward the direction of the warehouse. Bai Xiao, agile as a leopard, moved with great speed. Wei Dong, with his long legs, also burst into a quick pace.

They quickly reached the vicinity of the warehouse.

Bai Xiao, with keen eyesight, instantly spotted a strong figure rushing out of the shadows beside the warehouse, flinging aside the security personnel attempting to stop him. Those directly in his path were knocked to the ground with a fierce shoulder charge.

The path where Bai Xiao and Wei Dong were standing was the inevitable route of escape for the figure.

Racing towards them like a rampaging rhinoceros, the figure rushed on.

“Out of my way…”
