Urban Super Soldier King

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 The Beggar Who Stayed in a Hotel



The boss nodded with satisfaction upon seeing how submissive Xiang Yu was, his mind even more resolved to continue down the path of extortion.

"Didn't expect this kid to be such a pushover."

The crowd around them chattered on, some realizing there was no more drama to watch, were already preparing to leave.

Xiang Yu searched himself thoroughly, then chuckled and said, "I'm really sorry, boss, but all I've got on me is this one dollar." Xiang Yu held out a coin, looking hopefully at the boss.

Hearing that Xiang Yu had only one dollar on him, the crowd sensed there might still be good theater ahead and gathered around again.

Seeing Xiang Yu like this, the boss trembled with rage. It turned out this kid was playing him. "You ****ing drink the toast or you take the forfeit," the boss shouted and charged at Xiang Yu.

By then, Xiang Yu had had enough of playing; he was in a good mood today, otherwise, he would have dealt with this sleazy boss sooner. Seeing them charge at him, he knocked each one down with a kick. Then he picked up a stool and smashed the stall to bits and pieces.

"Kid, do you know who we are?" the boss groaned in pain, kneeling on the ground.

"I know who you are..." Xiang Yu kicked him in the face as he heard the threat continue, the kick filling the boss's mouth with blood. The others lay there, not daring to move.

Xiang Yu was still not appeased and picked up the stool and approached.

"Big brother, spare my life, I was blind..." the boss begged as he saw Xiang Yu not stopping, but it was too late. Xiang Yu struck his mouth hard with the stool, knocking several front teeth to the ground.

"Stop, stop, put down the weapon." A person in a police uniform then appeared, brandishing a baton and glaring fiercely at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu had noticed him a long while ago; while he was being threatened earlier, the policeman had pretended not to see and strolled away, only now choosing to come back and stop Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu saw him approaching, then chuckled and set down the stool. The policeman, seeing his compliance, then took out handcuffs to arrest Xiang Yu. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu kicked the policeman, sending him flying.

"You're no effing better, where the hell were you just now?" Xiang Yu said irritably.

Xiang Yu's actions left the bystanders agape. "He dares to hit a cop, what kind of background does this kid have?" "Just a brash young fool; he's going to suffer later."

After kicking the policeman away, Xiang Yu grabbed his luggage, whistled, and walked away, leaving behind a crowd of stunned faces. He had just hailed a taxi by the roadside when two police cars hurriedly arrived and parked.

"Where to?" asked the female taxi driver expressionlessly.

"Take me to the biggest five-star hotel here," Xiang Yu declared boldly, unconcerned about spending money since it wasn't his.

Hearing Xiang Yu say this, the female driver couldn't help but glance back at him. He was dressed in casual clothes with a hole at the knee. This at first glance made him look like a small-time thug headed for a five-star hotel, and whether he had money to even pay for the cab was questionable.

"Sir, the five-star hotel is in the city center, quite far, it will cost a hundred yuan," the female driver tried to keep her tone calm.

Xiang Yu could tell what she implied; he looked himself up and down, indeed, he did not look wealthy. When he was in the army, he hadn't cared about these things; comfort was all that mattered.

"Don't worry, I'll pay you when we get there," Xiang Yu said.

"Sir, you should pay now, that's the rule here." The more the female driver spoke, the more she doubted whether Xiang Yu really had the money.

Xiang Yu helplessly shook his head, then pulled out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it over. It was then that he realized, not only was the female driver beautiful, but also, you know.

"Sis, can I ask you something?" Xiang Yu, with a brilliant and harmless smile, leaned on the front seat, his eyes staring fixedly there.

Since Xiang Yu had paid, the female driver became much more cheerful. "What is it?" she asked. She had already noticed Xiang Yu's behavior, but she wasn't angry. After all, her attractiveness was something she took pride in.

"Is there an underworld presence in our city? I've just arrived and don't know the situation," Xiang Yu inquired.

The female driver smiled and shook her head, "Since you've just arrived, I'd advise you to leave this place quickly, lest later..." The female driver didn't continue, and shook her head again.

Seeing how cautious the female driver was, Xiang Yu didn't press further and just lay there admiring. He made no attempt to hide his gaze, almost reaching out his hand.

"Sis is really tempting; your brother-in-law is really lucky," Xiang Yu said.

The female driver just smiled and didn't speak. Having been a driver for a while, she was used to this sort of attention, but Xiang Yu didn't hide his interest, unlike most customers who wanted to look but dared not, stealing glances instead. She rather preferred Xiang Yu's straightforwardness.

About half an hour later, Xiang Yu stopped at a place called Xiangyun International Hotel. In front of the hotel was a parking square surrounded by fountains, and the greenery was exceptionally good.

"Call me when you're free." The female driver handed over a business card to Xiang Yu as he got out of the car, then smiled charmingly and drove away. Xiang Yu was elated, not expecting to encounter such luck upon his arrival.

Carrying his luggage to the front of the hotel, Xiang Yu couldn't help but feel awed. It was indeed an international hotel; you could tell it was extraordinary just from the outside.

"Hey, stop there, what are you doing?" At that moment, two security guards with walkie-talkies ran over.

"This is no place for begging; get lost quickly." Another security guard was even more aggressive, coming over to try and push Xiang Yu out.

At that point, Xiang Yu was tired and just wanted to quickly check into the hotel and relax, so he didn't want to argue with them.

"Isn't this a hotel? I'm here to stay," Xiang Yu said directly, then picked up his luggage and headed inside.

"Look at you, a beggar, staying here? Do you know what kind of place this is? Can you afford to stay here?" the security guard said impatiently.

"You'd better leave soon, everything here is very expensive," another said, preparing to politely persuade Xiang Yu when he still refused to leave.

"You better get out of my way. I'm a bit tired now and don't want to deal with you," said Xiang Yu, visibly exhausted.

"If you don't leave, I'll..." one of the guards threatened, raising his baton.

Xiang Yu didn't want to get entangled any longer, so he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the guard's wrist with his left hand, and chopped at the guard's neck with his right hand. The man went down instantly without even a cry. Xiang Yu had shown restraint; otherwise, the guard would have been dead.

Seeing Xiang Yu's swift movements, the other guard knew he was no match and, grabbing his walkie-talkie, he began shouting, "Trouble at the front door, trouble at the front door," while keeping his distance, about two meters away from Xiang Yu, holding his baton defensively and not daring to come closer.

Xiang Yu shook his head, then continued walking forward with his belongings. But in less than a minute, about a dozen young men in security uniforms ran up and surrounded Xiang Yu.

"It was him who knocked down Li. This kid doesn't look like a good person," the guard, boosted by the arrival of his colleagues, pointed at Xiang Yu and shouted.

"Kid, looking for trouble, huh? Brothers, take care of him," one who seemed to be the captain of the security team ordered.
