Loan Sharking

Three strangers stood in the rented room. His mother was in the corner, holding a kitchen knife.

Many things were broken on the floor: ceramic bowls, glass bottles, chopsticks and spoons scattered everywhere. Seeing this, Lu Chengchuan rushed in to protect his mother.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here!"

Lu Chengchuan's tone was cold, his emotionless gaze fixed on the three men.

"Hey, kid! Do you know who we are!" Seeing him squeeze in, the three men weren't afraid at all, their attitude still arrogant. "Your mom borrowed money from our company, a total of six hundred thousand. Now the time's up, hurry up and pay."

"I only borrowed two hundred thousand from you, and I've already paid back two hundred and thirty thousand, including interest, in half a year. How could it be six hundred thousand?"

Huang Yuyun, hiding behind her son, immediately came out to retort when she heard they wanted six hundred thousand.

She did go out to borrow money, but she only borrowed two hundred thousand. Why should she have to pay back six hundred thousand in less than half a year?

"What do you mean? The contract is very clear, don't even think about denying it!" The man pulled out a small knife and quickly waved it in front of Lu Chengchuan.

Many people borrowed money from them, but few dared not to pay it back.

"Loan sharking, fake contracts, you're breaking the law," Lu Chengchuan said calmly.

He thought these guys were some big shots, but they turned out to be loan sharks. It was only right to pay back debts, but he wouldn't be a sucker and pay those exorbitant interest rates.

"Breaking the law? Kid, watch your mouth, we're a legitimate company." The man sneered, he'd seen plenty of people like this, who wouldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin.

"Who's your boss? Take me to see him."

Lu Chengchuan didn't want to waste time talking to the small fries. He wanted to see the real boss and have a good talk with him.

"Who do you think you are, wanting to see our boss? Hurry up and pay the money! We don't have time to deal with you."

The Team Leader didn't say anything, but one of his lackeys stepped forward. As he spoke, he even wanted to teach Lu Chengchuan a lesson. The other two didn't care; they'd done this kind of thing many times and didn't think it was a big deal.

But they'd messed with the wrong person today. The lackey walked up to him, and just as he raised his hand, he suddenly flew backward.

Lu Chengchuan suddenly punched the man, sending him flying. The man flew up and crashed into his two companions. None of the three of them realized what had happened, and they all fell to the ground.

"You better listen obediently and take me to see your boss, or else..." Lu Chengchuan walked up to the groaning trio and said.

"Do... do you know who my boss is! How dare you touch us... ah!"

The Team Leader still wanted to act tough and scare Lu Chengchuan, but Lu Chengchuan stepped forward and stomped on his hand. With a little force, the man couldn't help but scream.

"Don't threaten me, take me to see him now."

Lu Chengchuan's tone was still emotionless. The man whose hand was being stepped on knew that they'd run into a ruthless person.

"I'll take you, I'll take you..."

The man immediately gave in. He wanted to see the boss, right? Fine, let's go, and then see who's more afraid.

"Xiaochuan, don't go, they're all gangsters..."

Hearing that her son wanted to go find their boss, Huang Yuyun quickly came out to stop him. She didn't want anything to happen to her son. In her opinion, the other party definitely had connections, or they wouldn't dare to do this.

Even though her son was an Esper, could an Esper really scare those people?

"Mom, don't worry, I'll handle this," Lu Chengchuan told her not to worry.

Huang Yuyun couldn't dissuade her son and could only let him go to see the so-called company boss.

Lu Chengchuan escorted the man downstairs. They had come by car. He got in the car with them, while another lackey drove. The Team Leader sat in the back seat with him.

"Team Leader, someone wants to see you."

Once in the car, the man immediately called back to notify his superiors.

"I know, I'll be right back."

The man spoke to the person on the other end of the phone for a while, then hung up and told the lackey to drive back.

No one spoke on the way back, only the hum of the air conditioner and the engine.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of an office building. Lu Chengchuan hadn't been here much. The street environment was nice, it was a little dark but there were still a lot of people, so it was quite bustling here.

"Our boss is upstairs, let's go."

The three men led the way, and Lu Chengchuan followed them into the office building, taking the elevator to the eighth floor.

At night, there were still many people walking around on the eighth floor. Each floor was divided into several rooms, some were collective offices, some were single offices.

The three men led him to a large office, where there were people, and more than just one.

More than a dozen burly men were sitting inside, and there were baseball bats, iron pipes, and even short blades on the table. This didn't look like a company, but rather a gangster's den.

"Come in, our boss is here."

The three men ran in quickly, then mocked Lu Chengchuan, who was standing at the threshold.

Now they had more than a dozen people on their side, and they had weapons. If this guy didn't pee his pants when he came in, it would be considered that he had guts.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Chengchuan calmly walked into the room and walked up to them: "Trying to scare people with these things?"

No one spoke, more than a dozen burly men just stared at him, their eyes as if they wanted to kill him. But Lu Chengchuan wasn't a weakling, he could kill these people easily.

They didn't speak, and Lu Chengchuan didn't speak either, just standing there and staring back at them.

The office was silent for a long time. Finally, the person from the loan company couldn't sit still any longer. A man in a well-tailored suit, sitting in the back, suddenly spoke: "Who are you, and what do you want?"

Lu Chengchuan looked up, his gaze fixed on the man speaking, and asked, "Are you the owner of the company?"

"Stop the nonsense. Say what you need to say, and don't try to act tough with me!" The man's tone became stern, and as he spoke, he raised his hand and slammed it on the desk in front of him.

The man's slap made the desk bang, and more than a dozen burly men immediately stood up, reaching for the weapons on the table, and swarmed around.

He didn't want to waste words, so Lu Chengchuan wouldn't waste words with him either.

Lu Chengchuan took a deep breath, Inner Energy instantly erupted from his dantian, and he raised his hand and slapped down to the right.

His palm struck the air, and invisible Inner Energy surged from his palm. The burly men blocking the right side couldn't see anything, and their bodies were sent flying into the wall by the released Inner Energy.

After breaking through to the Acquired Realm, his Inner Energy could be released, and he could send people flying within three meters.

After knocking away the people on his right, Lu Chengchuan slapped down with his left hand, and the people on his left also flew out. After dealing with the people on both sides, he quickly turned around and took care of the people behind him.

In less than two seconds, only a few people in front were still standing, and the rest had been sent flying.

Everyone was frightened by this sudden turn of events. This was beyond the bounds of common sense. The man in the suit sitting in the back opened his mouth, his expression dull, unable to believe the scene before him.

Lu Chengchuan walked forward, knocking down the remaining people with a few punches, and slowly walked up to the man in the suit.

"Now, can you tell me who you are?"
