Ordinary people simply couldn't bear the mental pressure of a Gold Core Stage powerhouse.
Even though Erad was extremely cruel and his hands were stained with blood, he still couldn't help but tremble when facing Xia Ruofei. It was as if he was facing an ancient demon from the legends.
His teeth trembled involuntarily and made a gurgling sound. He said in a trembling voice, "I … I've heard …"
Xia Ruofei withdrew his mental power with a look of disdain. Only then did Erad feel the pressure on his body loosen, as if the sun had returned to the earth. Only then did he realize that in just a few seconds, his clothes had been soaked in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.
Xia Ruofei curled his lips and said, "How dare you look down on the people of Huaxia? Let me tell you, you're not even fit to carry the shoes of the people of Huaxia! "
Erad nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes … I was wrong …"
His spirit had been completely crushed by Xia Ruofei. At this time, his heart was filled with fear and helplessness. He no longer had the arrogance of a backbone leader of a drug gang. Now, his only thought was to escape from here quickly. He didn't want to stay here for a second longer.
But Xia Ruofei didn't say anything. He didn't dare to run at all. He couldn't even move his legs.
Of course, he also knew that even if he ran, he would never be able to escape. The other party's speed was like a ghost. Even if he was a 100-meter sprinter, he would never be able to outrun the other party.
Xia Ruofei looked down at Erad condescendingly and asked, "Say it! Do you want to die or live? Don't put your hopes on those trashy politicians. I can kill all of you in minutes and then swagger out of Mexico. Do you believe me? "
Sanchez, Fernando, and the others' faces turned red and white. They were very embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say a word.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Erad said quickly. "Sir, I want to live! I … I don't want to die … "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Want to live? Easy! Just apologize … "
Erad said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes! I apologize! I apologize! I sincerely apologize to the people of Huaxia! "
Xia Ruofei said impatiently, "Shut up! I haven't even finished speaking, why are you interrupting? "
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry … "Erad's neck shrank back in fright as he hurriedly apologized.
Xia Ruofei glanced at Erad and said, "In Huaxia, the most sincere apology is to kneel and kowtow. Let me count … One, two, three … there are eighteen Huaxia people here today. How about this? Kneel down here and kowtow eighteen times. Every time you kowtow, say 'I'm wrong' loudly, and I'll spare you this time. By the way, let me remind you that in Huaxia, we are particular about kowtowing. You have to make a sound when you kowtow. The louder the sound, the more sincere you are! What do you think? Think about it! "
Erad's face alternated between red and white, and his heart was filled with humiliation.
Kneeling was not only a etiquette in Huaxia, it was a body language used all over the world. Kneeling on both knees meant complete submission, and at the same time, throwing away all of one's dignity.
Erad had walked into this courtyard arrogantly, but now he had to kneel down and beg for mercy in exchange for a way out. It was too difficult for him to choose.
Especially when there were more than a dozen bodyguards here, as well as Medel, the head of the Quatacoalcos branch, and the politicians he brought.
Erad now regretted bringing so many people, especially these politicians. They were usually very flattering in front of him, eager to kneel down and lick his feet at any time. To be precise, they wanted to kneel down and lick his feet at any time. If he knelt down in front of so many people in Huaxia today, would these people still be in awe of him?
But when Erad saw the guns that had been twisted into the shape of a fried dough twist, his heart could not help but tremble. How much strength did it take to do this? His hands and feet were not as hard as guns …
In his mind, there was a fierce struggle between the pros and cons. For a moment, he did not know whether to choose to bow down or decisively admit defeat.
Sanchez, Fernando, and the others were even more regretful. They felt that they had lost their minds today to get involved in this muddy water with Erad.
If they really had to witness Erad kneel down in front of Huaxia and apologize with their own eyes, would they have a good life in the future? Perhaps Erad would turn around and send someone to kill everyone who saw this scene today. In Mexico, people died unnatural deaths every day, and the heads of government officials were no harder than ordinary people's.
As for Erad's subordinate, Medel, and the bodyguards, they were even more scared out of their wits. If Sanchez and the others were still a little worried, they were completely desperate because Erad would never let them live. Otherwise, what prestige would Erad have in the organization?
This was especially true for Medel. Today's incident was entirely caused by him. It was precisely because he had taken a fancy to the land of Huafeng Shipping that he started the operation to seize it. It just so happened that Erad had been on vacation in Quachacoalcos for the past two days, so he urged Erad to come over. He thought that with Erad's identity and fierce reputation, these Huaxia people would definitely admit defeat in an instant and solve the problem easily. He did not expect that the development of the situation would completely deviate from the track they had expected and now it had become unmanageable.
Zhang Chao and the others were also stunned and had not recovered from the shock until now.
After the negotiations between the two sides completely collapsed, Zhang Chao was already mentally prepared to die here today. He did not expect things to turn around so quickly, making him feel dizzy.
When Xia Ruofei said that he wanted Erad to kneel and kowtow to apologize, Zhang Chao did not come out to stop him because he knew that in any case, they had already formed a grudge with the Gulf Group, and it would absolutely not end until one of them was dead. Huaxia was a country of etiquette, but gentleness, respect, and frugality were also particular about who they were dealing with. For a drug lord who killed without batting an eyelid, there was no need to talk about gentleness, respect, and frugality!
Today, Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng had suppressed their opponents with absolute force. Otherwise, all the Huaxia people here would have suffered today. Being killed by a gunshot might not even be the worst result. Just like what Erad had said just now, many people might have suffered and been tortured to death. It was not the first time these drug lords had done such a thing in order to deter others.
So, since they had already offended the other party, what was the point of being lenient now?
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he quietly looked at Erad, and then said, "I forgot to remind you that my offer to you is valid for one minute. If you don't make a decision after one minute, the conditions may be even more harsh!"
Erad's face was sullen. Why did these words sound so familiar? It seemed that he had said similar words to Zhang Chao in a very pretentious manner just now. This was really karma! In the blink of an eye, the other party had returned the same words to him.
Erad was struggling internally. His pride made it difficult for him to accept kneeling and kowtowing to Huaxia people, but in the face of the fear of death, dignity did not seem so important. Was it life or death? Or was it face? He had to give an answer within one minute.
Xia Ruofei put his hands in his pockets and looked at Erad calmly.
"You have 30 seconds … 20 seconds … 10 seconds … 9 … 8 …"
"I accept your offer!" Erad finally couldn't bear the heavy psychological pressure and shouted, "I'm willing to kneel and apologize!"
After shouting these words, Erad's pressure was finally released. Although his dignity was about to be trampled, he felt relaxed because he no longer had to make a choice to retreat.
Xia Ruofei shrugged and made a gesture of invitation with one hand. Then, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and quietly waited for him to kneel.
Erad's knees slowly bent and finally knelt on the ground with a humiliated expression.
At this time, Medel, Sanchez, Fernando, and the others all turned their heads. They did not dare to look at the scene of Erad kneeling and kowtowing to Huaxia people. Although it was meaningless for them to do so, because Erad would not think that no one knew about this matter just because they turned their heads away. However, Erad's fierce reputation was so frightening that they subconsciously turned their heads away.
Zhang Chao and the others could not suppress the excitement in their hearts. They involuntarily clenched their fists and stared at Erad without blinking.
Erad finally bent down and kowtowed for the first time.
When he straightened up, Xia Ruofei said faintly, "Again! Your voice is not loud enough! Is this your sincerity? "
At this time, Erad no longer had any dignity to speak of, but his heart was like a surging volcano. It was just that at this moment, it was suppressed and could not erupt. His hatred for Huaxia people had already reached an extreme level.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, he secretly gritted his teeth and kowtowed heavily. His forehead hit the cold concrete floor with a bang, making him feel like his head was buzzing.
The pain on his forehead was nothing. The trampling of his dignity was the greatest pain.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Let's follow this standard! Just now, you're 17 more! Hurry up! Everyone is very busy, so don't dawdle! "
How could Erad not want to end this nightmarish experience as soon as possible?
He gritted his teeth, threw caution to the wind, and began to kowtow.
The whole yard was silent. The sound of Erad's forehead hitting the concrete floor was particularly loud. For Medel and the others, this sound was like knocking on their hearts. Every sound made their hearts tremble. At the same time, this sound was like a death knell for them, making them feel as if they were seeing their impending doom …
Erad finally finished kowtowing 18 times, each of them very loudly.
After kowtowing, Erad's forehead became bruised and swollen. Coupled with his swollen cheeks, his face was completely deformed, like a pig's head.
He did not stand up immediately. Instead, he knelt on the ground and looked at Xia Ruofei. It could be said that he was extremely humble.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "You know when to yield and when to stand tall. You're quite a character! You can get out of here! But before you get out, clean up the garbage in this yard first! "
The yard of Huafeng Shipping was cleaned by someone every day. Although it wasn't spotless, there wasn't any garbage.
Xia Ruofei was naturally talking about the bodyguards who were lying on the ground.
Erad got up from the ground as if he had been granted amnesty. He glared at Medel and said, "Get all these people into the car! Hurry up! "
Medel trembled and quickly organized the bodyguards to help each other get into the car.
Fortunately, the drivers did not get out. Otherwise, there would not be enough drivers for so many cars. These bodyguards had almost all lost the ability to move and could not drive at all.
Since Xia Ruofei had spoken, Erad did not dare to get into the car before the "garbage" was cleaned up. It was not until all the bodyguards were stuffed into the car that he bowed to Xia Ruofei and then walked to his car. During the whole process, he ignored Sanchez, Fernando, and the others, which made the hearts of the politicians beat faster.
During this process, Erad did not have any evil thoughts. More than once, he thought of suddenly taking out his gun and shooting at Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng. As long as he could kill Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng, the rest of the Huaxia people would not be a problem at all. But on the one hand, he was really scared out of his wits. On the other hand, he also felt that there seemed to be a gaze fixed on him, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. He did not dare to act rashly.
He had endured such a great humiliation of kneeling and kowtowing. He did not dare to take the risk again.
In the end, Erad restrained his murderous intent and obediently got into his car.
No one greeted the politicians at all, but they were not fools. They all got into their cars with their tails between their legs.
When they had arrived, they had made a big scene and were all arrogant. But when they left, they ran away in panic like stray dogs.
The yard of Huafeng Shipping Company was quiet again. Zhang Chao and the others felt as if they were in a dream. It was not until the last car drove away in a hurry that Zhang Chao came back to his senses. He quickly arranged, "Qiang! Organize everyone to evacuate immediately! Don't take anything with you. Pack up the cash and important documents in the safe and leave! We can't stay here! "
Then, Zhang Chao said to Xia Ruofei in a hurried tone, "Mr. Xia, thank you for what you did today! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid none of our brothers would have survived! But these drug lords are very cruel. Today, we have completely offended them. Their revenge will come very quickly, and it will definitely be devastating! So, we must leave immediately! "
He did not wait for Xia Ruofei to speak, and said eagerly, "We happen to have a truck to tow. First, we'll pull your container up. When we get to a safe place, you can check the goods! Then, we'll find a way to send you two out of the country! Then, you'll be completely safe! "
Zhang Chao was indeed very anxious. He knew that as soon as he stepped out of the gate, Erad would definitely frantically call and order all the armed forces of the Gulf Group in the city of Kuacacoalcos to assemble and wipe out Huafeng Shipping as soon as possible. Therefore, the ferocious militants might appear at any time. Every second of delay would endanger his life.
