Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

"Ready?"

The young master of the Zhao family laughed even louder as he looked at the timid figure behind the tree.

"That's it? This is all the heavyweight stuff you've been bragging about? Carrying a tattered sack, and my bodyguards are so scared they hide behind a tree when they see me."

"Is he here to fight for you, or to scavenge for scrap? A complete loser! What, you expect him to kill us with a sack of junk?"

He found it funnier and funnier as he talked, leaning back in his chair and shaking his head with a wide grin on his face.

"I waited all morning, and this is all I got. Chen Mo, you really disappointed me. Even when you call for help, you can only get a few ugly ducklings."

"Don't worry about whether it's crooked or cracked, as long as you can do it, that's all that matters."

"Fine, I'd like to see how you deal with me."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

In his view, Chen Mo had run out of ideas and all his fancy tricks were just empty boasting.

Once the door opens, I can subdue this group of people in no time.

At this moment, Chen Mo was not in a hurry at all. The sun was so nice, it would be a waste not to bask in it for a little longer.

He leaned back on the sofa and sent a message to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue peeked out from behind the tree and observed for a while. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the bodyguards hadn't come over.

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He took it out and looked down. It was a message from Chen Mo.

Come straight in.

He glanced up at the five men in black suits standing by the door, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

He stuffed his phone back into his pocket, bent down, opened the burlap sack, and pulled out a meter-long, finger-thick piece of rebar. The heavy metallic feel gave him a sense of confidence.

He gripped the steel bar tightly, took a deep breath, and stepped out from behind the tree.

As he walked towards the villa entrance, he gestured and muttered to himself, trying to bolster his courage.

"I'm telling you, don't come any closer! Anyone who comes near, I'll smash their head! One hit for each one, two hits for both! See that? Genuine construction site rebar, one blow and your head's cracked open..."

Five bodyguards stood in the sun, too lazy to even lift their eyelids.

It's not that I didn't want to stop them, it's that I really didn't have the strength.

I was exhausted and hungry, and my head was spinning.

The five men's faces were sunburned, their lips were chapped, their legs were trembling slightly, and sweat dripped from their foreheads down their chins, evaporating instantly upon hitting the ground.

The black suits absorbed a lot of heat, sticking to their backs like branding irons. After standing there all morning, the group was almost suffering from heatstroke, and their vision was starting to blur.

Lin Yue kept muttering to himself as he swaggered past the five people.

Once inside the villa, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, put the steel bar back into the sack, wiped the sweat from his face—his back was soaked.

A moment later, he walked into the living room carrying a sack, slamming it down on the floor with a loud thud, drawing the attention of everyone in the house. "Brother Mo!"

He shouted, scratched his messy hair, and was a little out of breath.

Several people curiously gathered around.

Lin Yue squatted down and opened the burlap sack.

It was crammed with a bunch of rebar and a few round steel pipes, the metal clanging and rattling. It looked solid and would definitely be powerful enough to swing around.

Shen Yi stared at the sack for a long time, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly before finally managing to utter a single sentence.

"Dude, your gear... is so hardcore and so timely!"

Han Ziang squatted down, casually pulled out one, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be quite heavy, which made his eyes light up.

"Holy crap, if you swing this thing, it'll hit you every time. One hit and you'll be lying in bed for half a day."

"With these guys around, we can just charge out and go on a killing spree."

Zhou Zitao also picked up a steel pipe and kept nodding.

The group burst into laughter, amused by Lin Yue's antics.

Chen Mo glanced at Lin Yue.

It hasn't been that long since I last saw him, but his dark circles are as heavy as a panda's, his cheekbones are protruding, he's lost a lot of weight, and his hair is a mess. It's probably because he lost money in the stock market.

Looking at the people around him and then at his own attire, Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a little reserved.

Chen Mo smiled and patted Lin Yue on the shoulder.

"You're the best! This is the thing you need for a group fight."

Chen Mo pointed to Lin Yue and gave a brief introduction to Shen Yi and the others.

"Lin Yue, a brother I met in Hangzhou, is a reliable person."

He didn't mention Shen Yi's family background, because mentioning it would only make Lin Yue more reserved. Whether they could get along was entirely up to fate.

Shen Yi immediately smiled and extended his hand.

"Shen Yi, since he's Brother Mo's friend, he's like a brother to me. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything in the future."

"Han Zi'ang".

Han Ziang also reached out and shook his hand, raising an eyebrow at him.

"These steel bars you brought are just what I like."

"Zhou Zitao".

Zhou Zitao didn't say much; he simply nodded as a greeting.

Shen Yi then turned to the side and pointed to Ye Jingge sitting next to him.

"This is my second brother, Ye Jingge."

Ye Jingge sat upright on the sofa and nodded slightly to Lin Yue.

"From now on, we're all brothers under Brother Mo's guidance, sharing both good times and bad!"

Shen Yi patted Lin Yue on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

Lin Yue nodded hurriedly, feeling somewhat flattered. He never imagined he could become sworn brothers with someone of such charisma.

Chen Mo clapped his hands.

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's eat first. We need to be well-fed and have the energy to fight."

Lin Yue glanced instinctively toward the door, a little worried.

"Brother Mo, those guys outside... are they just going to stand there like that? Won't they just barge in?"

"Otherwise what?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, his tone casual.

"The sun's so strong, let them get some sun first. We'll eat and drink our fill, while they'll be hungry, thirsty, and tired. If they really start fighting later, who do you think will benefit?"

Shen Yi slapped his thigh and burst into laughter.

"Brother Mo's move is brilliant! It's just like playing a video game. We're at full health and mana replenishing in the fountain, while the enemy is standing under the sun, constantly losing health and getting debuffs! By the time we leave, their health bars will be almost empty. It's a complete stomp!"

"Not only is there physical sun exposure, but also hunger magic damage—a double whammy."

Han Zi'ang added a sentence, and the group burst into laughter again.

Ye Yunshu had already instructed the chef to prepare lunch, and the restaurant was filled with the aroma of food.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked toward the restaurant, paying no attention to the Zhao family's house outside.

The table was laden with braised pork, steamed fish, and braised prawns, a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

The group sat down, poured themselves iced drinks, and chatted while eating. The atmosphere was very relaxed, not at all like they were about to have a conflict with someone.

This meal took more than half an hour.

The young master of the Zhao family outside the door had long since lost all patience.

He sat in the van, and no matter how high the air conditioning was turned on, he couldn't suppress the anger rising in his heart.

I glanced at my watch; I'd been waiting since morning, for a full two and a half hours.

The five bodyguards outside the car were in extremely poor condition. The leader was pale and kept leaning against the wall, clearly on the verge of collapse.

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he pushed open the car door, and a wave of heat rushed in, making it hard to breathe.

He walked to the villa gate and instructed the bodyguard to ring the doorbell.
