The Villain Who Slapped the Heroines Until They Begged to Marry Him - Chapter 16:

Chapter 16: Is This… the Dragon King’s Fury?:

As Yang Lu passed by Lin Xiaohan, just about to leave, he suddenly bent down and planted a loud kiss on her cheek. The sound echoed through the entire restaurant, and it seemed like everyone could hear it.

Thinking back on all the villain novels he’d read, Yang Lu realized he might be the only one daring enough to kiss the female lead in front of the protagonist—and get away with it.

“You…” Lin Xiaohan was stunned. She hadn’t expected Yang Lu to kiss her like that. Part of her felt like she should be angry, but instead, a warm happiness filled her heart.

Was this her first kiss?

Then, a slight irritation came over me.

If he was going to kiss her, he could have at least given her a heads-up! She hadn’t even had time to prepare. But beyond her irritation, there was undeniable joy. She had thought he didn’t care about her, especially after he’d been ready to leave without a word. But now, she knew he had feelings for her too.

But what was she supposed to say next?

Everyone around them was watching.

Should she pretend to be angry? But she wasn’t angry at all, and she didn’t want to upset him.

Should she act happy? No, that would just fuel Yang Lu’s arrogance.

Lost in thought, Lin Xiaohan suddenly heard a loud crash from a corner of the restaurant. She turned her head and froze at what she saw.

“He… he hasn’t left!”

Standing there, face dark with rage, was Zhao Ritian. He’d smashed a table with one punch, anger erupting off him.

Yang Lu had dared to mess with his woman, and right in front of him!

From the moment Zhao Ritian had first seen Lin Xiaohan, he had sworn to make her his, even going so far as to take a job as a security guard for her sake. But now, his heart’s chosen woman had been treated this way. He, Zhao Ritian, the Soldier King, couldn’t accept it!

His whole body seethed with anger, and he felt his blood boiling as he roared, “Yang Lu, I’ll make you pay!”

With those words, he stormed toward Yang Lu, determined to make him suffer. A punishment so severe that Yang Lu would never forget.

“Sir, this is an upscale restaurant, you can’t just…”

“Out of my way!”

The restaurant manager, noticing the disturbance, quickly rushed over with security guards to intervene. After all, Xiaopacai Restaurant was one of Dragon City’s top dining spots, and an incident like this could harm its reputation. But before the manager could finish speaking, he found himself flying through the air. The guards were tossed aside, lying on the floor beside him. The onlookers’ faces paled.

“This guy… he’s really strong!”

Xiaopacai’s security guards were the best of the best, carefully selected from hundreds of candidates. Yet Zhao Ritian had overpowered them all before they could even react. People began looking at Yang Lu with sympathy.

Clearly, he was in trouble now. Zhao Ritian was a man driven by jealousy, and right now, he was capable of anything. Some onlookers even dialed emergency services in anticipation of the bloodshed about to unfold.

“Zhao Ritian, stop right there!” Lin Xiaohan shouted as she saw Zhao Ritian charging at Yang Lu, her face stricken with fear. She knew just how powerful Zhao Ritian was; he’d once taken down an entire loan shark company by himself. If he attacked Yang Lu now, Yang Lu wouldn’t stand a chance.

Her heart twisted painfully at the thought of him getting hurt. But Zhao Ritian paid her no mind, closing the distance between him and Yang Lu in an instant. Zhao Ritian had only one thought in his mind: to make Yang Lu suffer more than he ever had before.

“No…” Lin Xiaohan gasped, covering her mouth as Zhao Ritian loomed over Yang Lu, the scene unfolding like a nightmare. Why did it have to be like this?

“System, activate the Kneel skill!” Yang Lu thought calmly as he stood face to face with Zhao Ritian.

[Activating the Kneel command will cost 200 villain points. Confirm usage?] The system replied.

“Confirm.”

Yang Lu showed no trace of fear as Zhao Ritian closed in on him. He had received the Kneel skill earlier and could use it at this close range.

With a sudden, heavy thud, Zhao Ritian dropped to his knees in front of Yang Lu. The impact was so strong that the floor beneath him cracked. The onlookers were stunned. Lin Xiaohan was speechless, and Zhao Ritian himself looked utterly baffled.

What… what just happened?
