"Uncle Li!"
Luo Ji walked out of his room and saw the many workers in the living room. "What's all this for?" he asked.
"Your uncle said his company's profits doubled this year, so he's planning to redecorate. These old furnishings are going to be disposed of," the middle-aged man in formal attire said with a smile.
"Uncle really is rich. Even my father wouldn't dare be this extravagant..."
Although Luo Ji was the son of a Martial Artist, setting status aside, his uncle's company actually made more money.
His uncle had no children, after all, so he treated Luo Ji as his own son. As a Martial Artist, Luo Ji's father needed to spend long periods away, so he had left Luo Ji at his younger brother's home.
"All right, tell them to finish up quickly. Don't disturb my slee-" Before Luo Ji could finish, his gaze swept casually across the room.
That casual glance suddenly revealed something amiss.
It's him? Luo Ji's eyes fixed on an inconspicuous figure dressed in black among the crowd, and he immediately sneered inwardly.
He spotted me after all. Chu Tiannan had been equally surprised to see Luo Ji walk out of his room.
But Chu Tiannan showed no sign of fear.
On the contrary, he was perfectly calm!
If Luo Ji is smart, he'd better not provoke me. Otherwise, I won't mind revealing my Martial Artist strength ahead of time.
After spending some time learning about it, Chu Tiannan had become completely familiar with this world, and he also knew that Martial Artists held a special status.
The police had no authority to investigate Martial Artists.
Only the Martial Artist Alliance had the authority to intervene.
Authority! Absolute power!
So even though Chu Tiannan knew this was Luo Ji's residence, he still felt no fear.
Because he had the strength to back himself up!
Heaven really is helping me! Luo Ji, on the other hand, naturally thought nothing of the sort. His gaze was fixed on Chu Tiannan like a venomous snake.
Let's see how I toy with you this time!
"Everyone, don't just stand there. Our young master is pressed for time. Try to finish before noon!" Seeing that Luo Ji's expression was somewhat off, Butler Li gave the order.
"Sure thing! Come on, boys, let's get to work. Here's the list of everything we need to move out!" Hai Gaopeng said with a smile, taking out the list Butler Li had given him.
The move proceeded in an orderly fashion without a single mistake. This was also because Hai Gaopeng held himself and his workers to strict standards.
After all, as laborers, they were in no position to offend an employer like this.
Time passed quickly. Before long, more than half the furniture had been moved out of the villa, with a few valuable porcelain pieces still remaining.
"Be careful. These are the master's favorites. If you damage them, you couldn't pay for them even if you worked your entire lives!"
Butler Li could not keep an eye on everything alone, so he called over the household's four bodyguards to help watch.
Seated in a lounge chair, Luo Ji sipped an expensive drink and thought to himself.
Hmph. That Chu Tiannan is only doing easy work. It's hard to make a move.
Luo Ji frowned slightly. After a moment's thought, he gave his butler some instructions.
"Uncle Li, do this..."
Outside the villa, Chu Tiannan had little to do. All the bulky items had already been moved, and handling that sort of weight had been effortless for him.
After all, he possessed the strength of an Advanced Martial Artist. If he had not been deliberately hiding it, even though these things weighed a hundred jin or even several hundred jin,
he really would have had no trouble carrying one in each hand.
One had to remember!
The strength standard for an Advanced Martial Artist was an explosive force of a thousand jin.
This was also why Chu Tiannan had chosen to take a part-time job doing physical labor.
"How's it going? Getting used to the work today?" Hai Gaopeng asked with a smile, tossing him a bottle of water.
"Not tired at all!" Chu Tiannan caught the bottle and grinned.
Hearing this, Hai Gaopeng could not help sighing. "Ah, it's good to be young!"
"You outside, come in and carry some things. Something's come up for our young master, so hurry it along. Finish up, and you'll get an extra thousand as a tip!"
At that moment, Butler Li walked out and called to the people outside.
"Sure thing, we're coming!" Hai Gaopeng answered, then looked at Chu Tiannan and said,
"All that's left is expensive porcelain. I wasn't going to have you help with it. Are you nervous?"
"If I were, I wouldn't have come to work part-time!" Chu Tiannan set down his water bottle and smiled.
"Hahaha, a promising young man! But I have to warn you, those things aren't just expensive, they're hard to carry too. Be careful!"
"Okay!"
Inside the villa, there were porcelain pieces of various sizes. The small ones had all been moved out, leaving a few large porcelain vases.
"Good grief, how much must this cost..." The wiry middle-aged man carrying one with Chu Tiannan could not help exclaiming.
"I reckon a whole lifetime of work wouldn't pay for even one of these."
Chu Tiannan smiled and nodded. Although he had no particular concept of money, he understood one thing.
Without money, you were destined to be trampled underfoot.
Yes, just like that! Luo Ji leisurely sipped his drink nearby. Seeing that Chu Tiannan had already straightened up, he sneered inwardly.
Watch how I deal with you!
With that, a small emerald-green pebble appeared in Luo Ji's right hand. He exerted force with his fingers and flicked it out hard.
The little pebble was difficult to notice, and it moved incredibly fast. But the target Luo Ji had chosen was not Chu Tiannan.
It was the other wiry man working with him.
"Ow!" The pebble struck the wiry man's calf hard in an instant. He cried out in pain and lost his footing.
He fell straight down!
With one person no longer supporting it, the enormous porcelain piece, taller than a person, immediately lost its balance and toppled to one side!
This is bad! Chu Tiannan naturally noticed something was wrong. He gritted his teeth, trying to steady the porcelain, only to find that its smooth surface offered no place to grip.
Crash!
The loud sound of shattering rang throughout the villa.
