Chapter 37: A Grandmaster of the Innate Realm Shatters a Mahogany Table with a Single Palm Strike?
The atmosphere in the luxuriously decorated VIP room was so heavy it was almost palpable.
The smoke from the cigar swirled in the air, making one feel suffocated.
Jiang Zhenbang sat imposingly in the main seat, a thick cigar between his fingers.
His eyes were full of contempt as he looked Lu Jingchen up and down at the door.
Hu Guangji, dressed in a black training uniform, stood to the side with his arms crossed.
A cold smile played on his lips; he didn't take the boy in front of him seriously at all.
Jiang Zhenbang pointed at Lu Jingchen and sneered.
"This little brat? He's probably not even properly weaned yet!"
"Excuse my bluntness, but you're just here to get yourself killed!"
He took a deep drag on his cigar and exhaled a smoke ring.
"Li Cangxiong is a genuine Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!"
"Even if I were to personally take him down, I wouldn't be very confident of winning."
"You hired such a newbie in the workplace because you're afraid I won't lose badly enough?"
"You want me to lose everything, even my underwear?"
Lu Jingchen leaned against the door frame, his expression calm, even a little lazy.
"In my eyes, so-called innate grandmasters are no different from ordinary people on the street."
Upon hearing this, Hu Guangji's expression immediately changed.
His eyes blazed with anger, and he immediately lost his temper.
Hu Guangji roared, "Ignorant brat!"
He took a sudden step forward and slammed his right hand hard on the solid wood tea table in front of him.
A dull thud shook the entire private room.
Hu Guangji slowly moved his palm away from the hard mahogany table.
A deep palm print, half an inch deep, was clearly left behind, with wood chips scattered all over the ground around its edge.
Hu Guangji pointed to the handprint on the table and reprimanded him sternly.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Knows a few tricks from the martial arts world to exorcise evil spirits."
"So you dare to disregard a martial arts grandmaster at the Innate Realm?"
Jiang Zhenbang stared blankly at the handprint on the table.
His eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and his face was filled with shock.
"Master Hu is truly a hidden talent! He's amazing!"
"If that palm strike landed on someone, wouldn't their bones shatter into dust?"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, rubbing his hands together with a face full of ecstasy.
"That's great! There's finally hope of turning this deadlock with that old man from the Qi family around!"
Jiang Zhenbang completely ignored Lu Jingchen, who was standing next to him.
He picked up the teacup on the table and stood up to offer tea to Hu Guangji.
Just then, Lu Jingchen stepped forward expressionlessly.
He slowly raised his right hand and lightly placed it on the solid wood table.
There was no power gathering, no sound; it was as if he had simply brushed away the dust.
Lu Jingchen raised his hand and withdrew his palm.
In the close-up shot, next to Hu Guangji's handprint.
There was now an identical palm print, with the same depth.
The edges were smoother and neater, without even a single wood chip coming out.
The private room fell into dead silence instantly.
You could hear a pin drop clearly.
Jiang Zhenbang's teacup, which he had just picked up, froze in mid-air.
My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; the CPU was completely burned out.
Hu Guangji's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the palm print on the table.
His voice trembled: "This... how is this possible!"
He screamed wildly in his heart:
Wow! He handled it with such ease, without the slightest hint of anger!
This kid actually has such abilities?
Even if you haven't reached the Innate Realm, you can still achieve this level of skill.
It's almost there!
No wonder he dared to be so arrogant, he really does have some skills!
Jiang Zhenbang was stunned for a full three seconds before he suddenly came to his senses.
His face instantly filled with ecstasy and fawning; his expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
He quickly stood up and waved to Lu Jingchen repeatedly.
"Come! Young man, please have a seat! Please have a seat!"
"I was so blind and ignorant just now, I didn't recognize your greatness!"
Lu Jingchen didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to sit down in the main seat on the sofa.
He remained calm throughout, as if he were at home.
Jiang Zhenbang quickly picked up the teapot and poured Lu Jingchen a full cup of tea.
He bent over like a shrimp, and his attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.
"Young man, here's what happened."
"I had an old nemesis who tried to take away the mining rights for several mines from me."
"They fought several times, and made many enemies."
As Jiang Zhenbang spoke, he gritted his teeth, and his face turned black.
"In the end, I barely managed to win the project."
"That old man couldn't handle the game, so he used cheat codes and hired a martial arts master."
"I beat my men to a pulp, leaving them screaming and crying for their parents."
"The mines are completely shut down now; they can't operate at all!"
Lu Jingchen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke softly.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Zhenbang sighed heavily, his face full of frustration.
"Those mines are valued at several billion yuan."
"Even if I really lost it, money isn't a big deal to me."
"It's mainly this humiliation; I just can't swallow it! It's so frustrating!"
Lu Jingchen glanced at Jiang Zhenbang and slowly put down his teacup.
She slowly extended five fingers towards him.
His tone was indifferent, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
"Fifty million."
Jiang Zhenbang was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"Huh? What, fifty million?"
Lu Jingchen's gaze was fixed on Jiang Zhenbang, each word clear and distinct.
"Fifty million, I'll help you settle this matter completely."
"No matter what kind of expert they bring over."
"I'll take care of everything for you, so there will be no future trouble."
