Chapter 263: What Goes Around, Comes Around (First Update)
Shen Jun’s mouth hung agape, wide enough to fit two duck eggs.
Shen Kang’s whole body shuddered, his face full of disbelief.
He knew better than anyone how formidable Han Jun was.
Once, because of some trifling matter, he had offended the Tang Sect, and as a result, just a single word from Han Jun had nearly brought his company to the brink of collapse.
This illustrated the enormous power Han Jun wielded.
But now, this figure who controlled the life and death of countless people, was bowing and apologizing to Xue An like a child who had done wrong, with utmost respect and submission.
Inside and outside the room, there was a deathly silence.
Xue An’s expression was indifferent, as he quietly watched.
Without a word from Xue An, Han Jun didn’t even dare to raise his head, remaining bent at the waist.
In this moment, Han Jun’s heart was full of fear and regret.
Time rolled back two hours earlier.
Han Jun was sitting leisurely at the Tang Sect headquarters.
Zhou Lin was the one he had sent to the Shen Family.
Han Jun had long coveted the lucrative slice of the Hollywood movie industry, but unfortunately, he couldn’t get in on it—international big companies had it all to themselves, with major figures pulling the strings behind M Country’s domestic film companies.
He had never found a way in.
Then Shen Kang, because of a minor issue, had offended him.
The thought struck him—the Shen Family’s movie company might not be very large, but it operated quite well, generating substantial profits every year.
So Han Jun sought a pretext to force Shen Kang into selling the company to the Tang Sect.
Tomorrow was the final deadline.
He had sent Zhou Lin to apply the last bit of pressure.
In Han Jun’s eyes, this was quite a mundane affair.
But after waiting for more than an hour,
Zhou Lin returned, pale-faced.
At the sight of Zhou Lin’s expression, Han Jun frowned.
“What happened?”
Through clenched teeth, Zhou Lin said, “I was beaten!”
“Oh?” Han Jun’s eyebrows rose, his face filled with killing intent.
Someone dared to attack a member of the Tang Sect?
“A master hired by the Shen Family?” Han Jun asked calmly.
Zhou Lin shook his head, “I’m not sure, but this guy is quite formidable and extremely arrogant!”
“He injured me, and when I asked for his name, he said I wasn’t worthy to know, and furthermore…”
“Furthermore what?”
Zhou Lin gritted his teeth, “He said to give you two hours, to go and apologize!”
Upon hearing this, Han Jun couldn’t help but show anger on his face.
“What audacity!”
Zhou Lin was secretly pleased inside—if his master took action, then no matter how powerful that person was, he’d be finished!
“Did he say anything else?” Han Jun picked up his teacup and started sipping slowly.
“He also mentioned that the account from the business with the old Sky Pointer hadn’t been settled with you yet!” Zhou Lin said.
The moment he heard this sentence, Han Jun, who had just taken a sip of tea, was so shocked that he sprayed the tea out of his mouth.
“What did you say?” Han Jun’s face became exceedingly grave.
Zhou Lin was also startled, “He… he simply said that the account with old Sky Pointer hadn’t been settled with you, and that you had two hours to go and apologize! Master, should we send somebody to take care of this guy?”
Slap!
With a raise of his hand, Han Jun sent Zhou Lin spinning several times in the air.
“Idiot! Is that a man you can provoke? And you dared to lay a hand on him?” Han Jun was clearly livid, stepping forward to deliver a flurry of punches and kicks to Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin was completely dumbfounded.
He had never seen his master so enraged and frightened!
After hitting him a few times, Han Jun suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at his watch.
“How much time has passed since you left the Shen house?”
“More than half an hour!” Zhou Lin said, his voice trembling.
Han Jun was so scared that he shivered all over, shouting loudly, “Quick, prepare the car!”
And at that moment, Zhou Lin, trembling with fear, asked, “Master… who exactly is that man?”
Han Jun stomped his foot, his face filled with horror as he said, “He… is Xue An!”
Xue An!
These two words seemed to possess infinite magic.
At the very least, upon hearing them, Zhou Lin felt a darkness before his eyes and nearly died of fright.
With one hand, he annihilated Immortal Gate; with one sword, he crushed Tokyo; he dominated the military of M Country!
Any of these feats would be earth-shattering news by themselves.
And all of these were done by Xue An.
How ridiculous that he had even thought about confronting him?
Thinking this, Zhou Lin felt a wave of relief wash over him.
At this moment, Han Jun’s heart was also filled with terror.
Even on the way to the Shen Family, he was restless.
When the Old Man of the Heavens was killed, he had secretly informed the Yu Family!
He had thought that with the Yu Family’s intervention, Xue An would surely be killed.
But to his dismay, only a few days later, news came that Xue An had broken the Sword Immortal with a single strike.
After hearing this news, Han Jun was so scared that he didn’t dare to leave his house for several days; even when he did, he had to be surrounded by countless bodyguards.
He was very aware that a peerless expert like Xue An would definitely have a clear sense of gratitude and grudges, decisive in his kills!
He could only hope that Xue An would forget about him.
Especially as Xue An’s deeds continued to come in one after the other, Han Jun lived every day in fear and terror.
It was only after Xue An did not show up for a long time that he gradually relaxed.
Until today, when he finally understood that what goes around comes around!
So, he had come to the Shen Family with a toughened scalp, waiting for Xue An’s disposal.
At that time, Xue An spoke indifferently, “The Tang Sect… has quite the overbearing way of doing things!”
Upon hearing this sentence, Han Jun’s body shook and cold sweat broke out all over him.
“Yes! Yes! We truly didn’t know that the Shen Family was a friend of yours. Had we known, we would have never dared to do this! We plead for your understanding, sir!”
A faint smile appeared on Xue An’s lips, “If the Shen Family didn’t know me, would you have been prepared to drive this family to a dead end? Hm?”
The last rhetorical question made Han Jun’s knees weaken, and with a thump, he fell to his knees, then kowtowed like he was pounding garlic.
“Sir, spare our lives, we beg you to spare our lives, we will never dare to do it again!”
Looking at this usually high and mighty figure, now begging for mercy like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Shen Kang and the others all shut their mouths.
Especially Shen Jun, who was ashen-faced.
Xue An stood up, slowly walked over to Han Jun, and looked down at him from above.
“As fellow Huaxia on foreign soil, we should be helping each other out. Yet, you plotted against your own kind, abusing power and authority! What do you think your crime should be?”
Han Jun collapsed on the ground, despairing, “Everything is up to you, sir!”
“Very well! You wished to use others to kill me, and now you’ve used your power to oppress others; it would not be unjust to kill you. Are you convinced?”
Han Jun turned pale, nodding, “Convinced… I’m convinced!”
Seeing this scene, everyone, especially the disciples of the Tang Sect, felt a chill in their hearts.
Was this the same elder who used to throw his weight around?
In front of this man, he was like a lamb waiting for the slaughter!
Xue An placed a hand on Han Jun’s head, his eyes narrowing slightly.
A powerful Divine Sense swept through Han Jun’s mind, and after a moment,
Xue An said indifferently, “Considering that you aren’t too bad in normal times, I’ll spare your life!”
As he spoke, Xue An waved his hand, and Han Jun’s complexion turned pale, his whole being aged,
with a single move, he destroyed Han Jun’s cultivation level and crippled his legs.
Yet Han Jun kept kowtowing, “Thank you for sparing my life, sir! Thanks for your mercy!”
Each bow was heartfelt, because Han Jun had been thoroughly frightened.
To this, Xue An merely smiled.
He had just discovered through his Divine Sense that Han Jun did indeed take care of his fellow countrymen in foreign lands; it wasn’t worth truly killing him.
“Moreover, Shen Family…”
“Rest assured, sir,” Han Jun said, trembling, “From now on, the Shen Family will surely prosper and the Tang Sect will never dare to disturb them again!”
Xue An nodded, “Get lost!”
