Armipotent

75 I Love Giving Choices

The group was armed with various kinds of things that could be used as a weapon. Three grumpy-looking men blocked Tang Shaoyang's car.

Wearing the police's vest with an emergency ax in their hands, they stopped the car.

"This is Flame Castle's territory, Leave!" The man in the middle waves his ax to the car, signaling Tang Shaoyang and the others to leave.

Rather than listening to the man, Tang Shaoyang was more interested in the area around the entrance to the hospital. These people built up many tents around the entrance. A few people grouped here, drinking. A few people grouped there, chatting. A few people grouped in another place, sharing the warm food. More than that, these people did not have any interest in the guests.

This place was more like a refugee for the disaster. However, one thing for sure, this was not just a normal group of survivors but an organized group.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Annoyed for being ignored, the man banged the ax's handle to the car. The man did not try to hold back, at all. He banged the car very hard with the hand as a few deep bents formed to the car's body.

"Did you listen to me? Leave this place ASAP! This is the Flame Castle's territory! Unless you have a death wish, come down and we will chop your head off!" The man yelled loudly causing the people behind to look at them.

"Huhu, Flame Castle, huh?" Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle as he looked at the man.

"Boss, let me out! I will beat his ass until he begs for his life!" Zhao Zhong was about to come out but he stopped as someone knocked on the window next to Tang Shaoyang.

Cao Jingyi was coming to check the situation. She furrowed her brows when she saw the armed group blocked their path.

Tang Shaoyang lowered the window and asked, "Why do you come here? You should just take care of your group! You are looking for trouble, aren't you?"

"Huh!? Trouble? What are you talking about?" Confused with what Tang Shaoyang talked about, she asked back. She came to check the situation as the children were getting scared because of the loud bang.

"If you don't want to leave then don't leave, but you have to share the women with us!" The man changed his mind when he saw Cao Jingyi. As he walked closer to Cao Jingyi, he pulled out a pistol from his back and placed the pistol on top of the car. His gesture was telling everything, obey or you would be gunned down.

Only then Cao Jingyi became aware of why Tang Shaoyang said she was looking for trouble.

"Listen, girl! You may be married to Wei Xi, but the current world is completely different from the world when you married your husband. There was a law to protect you and there was the police to keep this kind of guy in check, but it was before!" Tang Shaoyang opened the door. He stepped out of the car while pointing his index finger to the guy who stared at Cao Jingyi lewdly.

"Now, there is no law to protect and you have to use a fist to beat this kind of guy!" Tang Shaoyang's hand moved toward the man. The man did not expect Tang Shaoyang would make a move on him, he was caught unprepared.

"Leave this to the men. You need to make sure the kids don't see this or they may get traumatized!"

Cao Jingyi was certainly a beauty with a mature charm on top of that. She would draw men's attention wherever she went. That was why he thought this would happen.

"Urghhh!" The man grunted, trying to take a breath as Tang Shaoyang gripped his neck forcefully. He tried to break Tang Shaoyang's hand off his neck but it was to no avail. He just did not have enough strength to do that.

The other two men immediately pulled their pistols and aimed toward Tang Shaoyang.

"Release him or we will shoot you!" The man's friend tried to scare Tang Shaoyang. His voice was loud so his friends behind could help him as well. He was quite smart and quick-witted.

Sure enough, after hearing the yell, the people around at the entrance gate of the hospital came forward with their weapon. Machete, pipe, knife, and one man even had a nail gun.

More and more people started to gather and surround the car. However, because of the man in Tang Shaoyang's hand, none of them tried to get closer. They kept a safe distance to protect their friend just in case Tang Shaoyang would snap their friend's neck.

Tang Shaoyang's lips moved as he scanned the group in front of him. He was counting the people in front of him. Though he gave up counting after twenty, "It's around fifty to seventy!" He murmured a random number in a low voice.

At this moment, Cao Jingyi listened to Tang Shaoyang. She ran back to the school bus. And at the same time, the other expedition member went out of the car. They had their gears on and none of them scared despite being outnumbered.

Bang!

The man's friend fired the gun to the sky, warning Tang Shaoyang and his group. "Release him or the next bullet will hit your head!"

The man's face reddened as he started to lose his breath. Tang Shaoyang loosened the grip a little, making sure the man did not die. However, he did not release the man

"From today, SH Hospital will be Tang Empire's territory!" Tang Shaoyang declared it loudly. His loud declaration stunned the group.

"I love giving choices so you have two choices! One, empty this place and leave! Second, now your head to me, join my empire, and follow my rules! Choices are given, now make up your mind!"

Zhao Zhong scanned the people in front of him. He looked at these people who seemed to be confused with the situation they were in. They were the ones who occupied this place first yet a guy was coming and claimed their place to be his. More than that, the man asked them to bow their heads as well.

If Zhao Zhong was in these people's position, he would be confused as well. However, since he was on a different side, he understood well his Boss.

'Better you guys choose one of the choices! Don't let him make the third choice or you guys will regret it!' Thought Zhao Zhong.

"Well! Well! Well!" Amidst the silence, a middle-aged man stepped forward from the opposite group. He had big fat on his belly and that fat jiggling as the middle-aged man walked forward. The middle-aged man wearing jeans that covered his knees and a colorful shirt with the two topmost buttons unbuttoned.

"My name is Yang Kun! I am the leader of these people. First of all, this hospital is part of Flame Castle, we can't allow you to have it! Second, we will never bow our heads to you as we have our Leader as well. Third, maybe there's a misunderstanding between you and my men, so can we solve it in a civilized way?" Yang Kun smiled slyly to Tang Shaoyang.

"Are you the leader of this Flame Castle?" Tang Shaoyang asked Yang Kun instead of answering.

"I am not the Leader of Flame Castle. Our leader is not here and I am someone who is trusted by the Leader to be the person in charge of this place. Can you please release my man first?" Yang Kun was still acting politely in front of Tang Shaoyang.

He had his reasons for this. First, Tang Shaoyang and his group seemed to be experienced in fighting and killing. He could tell that by reading their expressions. Despite being outnumbered, these people remained unfazed. On top of that, the man also was not afraid of guns as well.

Second, since these people came from an organized group like them. It was better to talk it out first. He did not know how strong this Tang Empire was, after all.

Third, he could tell the people in front of him were armed as well. From the outfits to the weapon, swords, spears, and even a huge battle-ax on top of the car. He had to be careful as he did not want to offend a powerful group.

"Since you are not the leader, it's pointless to talk with you!" Then Tang Shaoyang looked at the man in his grip, "As for this man, it was not a misunderstanding. This man asked me to share the women with him, do you think I should forgive him?" He asked Yang Kun with a grin.

At the sideline, Zhao Zhong noticed the grin on his Boss's face. He immediately held the spear properly the moment he noticed the grin. The same for the others, they immediately readied themselves for the battle. They named that grin, Death Grin. The reason? Because when their Boss grinned like that, that meant someone or many would die.

"If the talk is not possible, then I don't have a choice but to kill you!" Yang Kun's fake smile disappeared as a fierce expression replaced that. He pulled the gun on his waist and pointed the muzzle toward Tang Shaoyang.

"No! Big No!" Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "You have choices, I have given you two choices already. You can choose one of them!" The grin on his face became wider, "Or do you want the third choice?"

'Here he came, be prepared guys! Our enemy has guns!' Zhao Zhong said that in his head.

"What's the third?" Yang Kun asked.

"Death!" The moment Tang Shaoyang said that Yang Kun pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yang Kun shot all the bullets toward Tang Shaoyang. He intended to kill the leader first. However, unfortunate for the fatty, all bullets were blocked by the hostage in Tang Shaoyang's hand.

Yes, Tang Shaoyang used the man in his hand as a shield. As the man in his hand received all the bullets, Tang Shaoyang released the man. He took one step back and reached his battle-ax.

Swoosh!

Tang Shaoyang threw the Destroyer forward.

Unfortunately for the fatso, all shots missed, and a big ax now came for him. The battle-ax swirled in the air, he also did not have time to dodge as he was not expecting such a big ax could be thrown easily like this.

Slash!

The battle-ax's blade sliced through Yang Kun's neck. The Destroyer continued flying toward the big group and struck the people on its path down.

While the group panicked because of the battle-ax, Tang Shaoyang took this chance and leaped to the group from his original spot. Such a move, it even shocked his people. However, a big opening was made, as the people panicked and focused their attention on Tang Shaoyang, the remaining people made their move as well.

Pained cry and gunshot rang afterward. It was chaotic, but it did not take a long time before the noise stopped for about eight minutes. After that, the expedition group entered back to their respective cars as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile, Cao Jingyi was trying to calm the children. They were scared by the noise. Even though she tried to cover it up but it was useless, most of the kids and the adults on the bus certainly knew what happened on the outside based on the noise.

'Did I make the right choice?' Thought Yan Guangli as he saw what actually happened on the outside. The bus was in the middle of the convoy, the battle was not that far off the bus, and he could still see a glimpse of what happened.

As for the children, they were asked to squat down and cover their ears.

Yan Guangli could only let out a sigh as he lamented his decision.

"Sir, you made the right choice! When you know him enough you will hope that you will be on the same side as him. Just don't offend him in the future, you and the children will be fine!" Cao Jingyi said as she tapped Yan Guangli's shoulder twice.

The battle was a one-sided slaughter. Thanks to Tang Shaoyang who took all the aggro, the group did not suffer any casualty. After a momentary stop to clear the path to the hospital, the convoy entered the hospital.

With uncertainty and fear of the future that awaited him, Yan Guangli drove the bus. On the way to enter the hospital, he saw the actual battlefield.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

His heartbeat naturally increased as he saw the gory scene. With worries, he looked back. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw the children still squatted. Such a scene would traumatize the children for sure. Even for him, it was so hard to handle.

Honk! Honk!

When he heard the horns from the car behind, Yan Guangli immediately straightened his back and took a deep breath. As he stepped on the gas pedal, he held his breath and looked straight.

As the bus entered the hospital, Yan Guangli heard a robotic rang in his head.
