Chapter 431 - Barbarian

"Thank you for your concern, Team Leader Xu, but regardless of what the performance result of the third group is, I am still a member of the group at the end of the day," Si Yueting said, rejecting Xu Le's offer. She would not accept an offer that was based on provoking their current team leader.

Liu Yiyao smiled, nodding her head in concurrence and said, "I'm the same as Yueting. Since it is fated for me to be a member of the third group, I'll die as a member of the third group as well."

Hmm?

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows, and his eyes became a little brighter. It wasn't like he was very close to these two members, yet they stood by him and defended his reputation. He was somewhat surprised by their actions.

"Well, if that's the case, it's a real shame then."

When Xu Le realized that he had failed in his attempt to humiliate Xiao Luo, he twitched his lips and cursed the two girls in his heart. As far as Xu Le was concerned, they were two b*tches that he was trying to help save some face, but they rejected him. He would make sure to make them pay one day!

"Brother Le, here's your water."

At that moment, Guan Tong came back with everyone's drinks and cheerfully handed Xu Le his mug of water. There was much respect on his face, and he did so with a smile.

Xu Le took his anger out on Guan Tong and shouted at him, "Why are you giving it to me now? Are you trying to scald me to death?"

"Then this water…" Guan Tong frowned and felt awkward all of a sudden.

"Do you have the brain of a pig, can't you just put it on my table? Do you really have to hand it to me?" Xu Le yelled. He refused to give Guan Tong any face and scolded him in front of the entire sales department.

Guan Tong gritted his teeth, a hint of anger flashed across his face but quickly vanished, and he laughed it off with good humor. "Yes, Brother Le!" he replied.

He turned around and walked towards Xu Le's seat.

The attitude of each and every person in the sales department was utterly different. Some laughed, some felt sorry, while some disapproved of what he had just done, but no one sympathized with him. The more afraid Guan Tong was, the more people disliked him. Although they felt that Xu Le was crossing the line, Guan Tong seemed to accept this kind of treatment, which made them despise him.

"Idiotic fatso, I just can't feel good without scolding him at least once a day."

Xu Le said that as he stared at Guan Tong, walking away to place the mug on his table. He then glanced at Xiao Luo fleetingly, with an ugly scowl on his face. "Birds of a feather flock together, that idiotic fatso's friend isn't any better either. He merely got lucky and picked up some big order from god knows which princess and completely forgot who he was. He is just garbage that is clueless about his own limitations," he mocked.

When he heard that, Xiao Luo put his pen down and got up. He walked toward Xu Le, who was still in the corridor and looked him right in the eye. "Team Leader Xu, I couldn't hear what you just said, could you repeat what you just said again?" he said.

Xiao Luo had a smile on his face, but anyone could tell that he was threatening Xu Le.

Si Yueting and Liu Yiyao looked at one another and wondered if their Brother Luo was planning to beat Xu Le up.

With Xiao Luo's gaze bearing down on him, Xu Le did not panic at all, and besides, everyone in the office was looking at them. If he allowed Xiao Luo's intimidating presence to overwhelm him, he was not going to look as formidable to the staff anymore. Right at this moment, he straightened his back, puffed up his chest, pointed at Xiao Luo's nose and said, "So, you want me to repeat it, alright—that idiotic fatso's friend isn't any better either, he's just lucky to receive an overseas order, and he thinks he's some big shot now. He is complacent and is oblivious to the fact that he's just garbage!"

"You sure have some guts."

Xiao Luo laughed and nodded his head. The next second, his face turned dark, and his foot slammed hard into Xu Le's chest.

POW!

Following a dull thud, Xu Le's body was thrown back some two to three meters. He fell heavily onto the ground and howled in excruciating pain as he felt as if every bone in his body had broken.

Before Xu Le could even get up, Xiao Luo picked up a potted cactus plant on the desk next to him and instantly dropped it on his head.

It was over in seconds without any sort of hesitation!

CRACK!

The potted cactus plant's porcelain pot shattered instantly, scattering the sand on the floor, and the cactus rolled and rested on the side. Xu Le's head was bleeding profusely, and there were also many cactus thorns stuck in his forehead. The pain just kept getting worse as his screams intensified.

Everyone in the office pretty much stood up simultaneously and stared in shock at the badly battered Xu Le, who got utterly beaten up by Xiao Luo in the corridor. As they looked fearfully at Xiao Luo, a chill ran from the top of their skulls all the way to their toes, their bodies turned cold, and their hairs stood on ends.

Ruthless!

Merciless!

No one would have imagined that a regular and handsome-looking guy like Xiao Luo would be this ruthless when he got angry. He was very much just like an evil wolf; if it wasn't provoked, it was fine, but as soon as it was stirred, it became as scary as hell; and for Xiao Luo, he was the scariest.

"Why you a*shole, what are you doing now? You dare hit me, do you still plan on staying in Huayao Group?"

Guan Tong hurriedly ran up at this moment and quickly held Xiao Lu back. Although he knew that Xiao Luo was the boss of Luo Ventures, creating trouble in Huayao Group might result in him receiving a lawsuit for this. Even if CEO Shen didn't pursue this matter, he would still become a public enemy, and this was totally not worth it at all.

"Guan Tong, stay out of this!"

Xiao Luo pushed Guan Tong to the side and looked down at a Xu Le, who was really tenacious and still fully aware despite having a bruised head. Xiao Luo knelt down next to Xu Le, raised his hand up to his ears, and made a gesture to listen to something. "Come, repeat what you just said again, my ear here isn't functioning too well these days, and I didn't quite catch you," he said.

"You barbarian, I'm going to sue you, I'll sue you for sure!" Xu Le screamed, frowning at Xiao Luo in both shock and anger.

Xiao Luo smiled and said, "I'm pretty sure that's not what you said earlier on. Come, let me hear that sentence again."

"You…"

There was no way Xu Le had the guts to repeat it. He did it once just now and got a kick right in his chest, and a potted cactus plant dropped on his head. If he repeated it once more, he was unsure what kind of beating he would receive this time around.

"You don't have the guts anymore? Are you really that useless?" Xiao Luo provoked him.

Xu Le was filled with anger but couldn't say anything. All he could do was to continuously stare at Xiao Luo, his eyes filled with horror.

"That's enough, Xiao Luo!"

"What are you treating this office like your own house, where you can just come and go as you wish?"

"Hurry up and apologize to our group leader now!"

In a show of their loyalty, all the second group members came forward and angrily reprimanded Xiao Luo for what he had done.

"This has nothing to do with all of you at all. If you don't want to get beaten up, then return back to your seats and continue with your work," Xiao Luo said. He was not exactly a good guy, to begin with, and now that Xu Le has triggered him, his temper wasn't all that good at all.

One of the guys who was quite close to Xu Le got agitated and sneered at Xiao Luo, "Who do you think you are? I can't believe you think you're going to beat us up, if you think you're that capable, then why don't you try beating one of us up?"

He had just finished his sentence when Xiao Luo rushed up this guy. On the way, he grabbed a flower pot that of prosperous bamboo from the top of an office desk and smashed it right on his head.

CRACK!

The effect was as punishing as smashing a beer bottle onto someone's head, and just like Xu Le, that guy ended up with a bruised skull and was bleeding profusely. He let out a painful scream and collapsed on the floor.

"Hiss…"

Everyone in the office gasped… Xiao Luo was too cruel; he was just way too brutal.

Everyone in the second group was so scared that they were as quiet as mice, and no longer dared to say anything else. While this was going on, someone had already quietly dialed the security number. Since something so violent had just happened in the office, they needed security to come and handle this situation.
