  Loud Mouth couldn’t take it anymore after she heard someone was picking a fight with me.

  “Which one of you dares to mess with my friends? It wasn’t easy to get someone to treat me, (she burped after she finished this line) just when I’m feeling good, someone gets in my way! If I don’t teach this bastard a lesson, no one would treat me to a meal in the future!”


  Every sentence she said involved food. She rolled up her sleeves, prepared to take action.

  I realized ages ago that Loud Mouth had skill hidden within her, with outstanding strength. Leaving aside her grip strength that’s comparable to prehistoric lobsters, when she punches, normal hoodlums would definitely fall. If she starts practicing judo right now, maybe winning Olympic gold one day might not be just a fairy tale.

  By comparison, my terrible disciple, Eunuch Cao, did not have any intention of showing loyalty to our clan. The first thing he did was hide behind the girls, afraid the hoodlums would memorize his face.

  Little Smart didn’t want her best friend to get injured, so she held her back. The class leader was also in front of Loud Mouth trying to persuade her not to go.

  “Stop holding me! I’m gonna beat the shit out of them! Ye Lin, let’s go together!”


  Loud Mouth’s voice was like a clock tower. Her entire body turned red because of her anger, like the witch from “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio“.

  The hoodlums opposite us rarely saw such a spectacle. They were intimidated by Loud Mouth’s screams.

  I was grateful that Loud Mouth wanted to fight alongside me. With her strength, two of the hoodlums would be knocked out pretty quickly.

  But, regardless of how grateful I am, I can’t let a girl help me with a fight.

  I told Little Smart to not hold her hand, but to hug her waist.

  “Why are you hugging my waist! Oy, don’t use force! The food’s gonna come out!”


  I jokingly said to Loud Mouth: “Geng YuHong classmate, it’s bad if you get into a fight right after eating so much!”


  Loud Mouth lowered her head and pondered a bit, she felt that my words were reasonable.

  “Also, we came out of school together to eat. Among us, only Shu Sha is a committee member. If someone got injured in the fight, she might be held accountable……”


  Loud Mouth gasped in shock, looks like she didn’t think of that.

  I from before wouldn’t overthink. I would be like martial artists from the Warring States, just pull out a sword without a word, how cool is that! I was a bit ashamed for being so overly sensitive now.

  “Master is correct.” Eunuch Cao added, “Normal students like us should immediately retreat. If we got injured, we would just be giving the class leader trouble……”


  I fiercely stared at Eunuch Cao. Couldn’t you have just kept that in your heart? You even tried to make escaping sound dignified. How shameless, you might as well just join the CPPCC (Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference).

  The class leader wasn’t happy with everyone pushing their reason for escape on her.

  “Ye Lin, as class leader, I have the responsibility of guaranteeing the safety of all students, including you!”


  I scoffed to express disdain.

  “What does that have to do with me! I’m already treated as an outsider by the school! No one will hold you accountable even if I get injured!”


  “Even if no one holds me accountable, you are still a member of our class!”


  “That’s enough! I have nothing to do with the class! I don’t even remember the names of my classmates!”


  “You can remember it later! Let’s leave together for now!”


  She said as she came to hold my arm. I was a bit slow in reacting and she grabbed my right wrist.

  Damn! That hurts! Do you know that I injured my wrist! Originally I could still kind of make use of it, now that you grabbed it, don’t even mention a weapon, it hurts when you just touch it! It’s a huge weakness!

  I reflexively shook off the class leader’s hand. My actions were wild and my expression was sinister. It surprised the class leader and she took a step back.

  “Don’t worry about me! You guys would only hold me back if you stay! Leave!” I spoke ruthlessly, “If you don’t leave, I’ll …… hit you!”


  I raised my left fist in a threatening pose.

  The class leader didn’t budge, instead, she straightened her back letting me hit her. Because I shook her off earlier, she was breathing rapidly like she was wronged.

  I dissipated my anger and lowered my fists.

  “In short, hurry and go back to school! Those hoodlums had five people before, I only see four right now, the last one is their head and I’m not sure where he’s hidden……”


  Even if Loud Mouth looked like a female bandit, she’s still no match for their boss.

  I remembered their boss had a similar body to mines, with great muscles. If he didn’t get careless after pulling out a knife, our fight would have lasted longer.

  After hearing there was another opponent, Eunuch Cao panicked and started constantly darting his eyes from side to side.

  “That’s right, let’s go! Let’s leave this place to Leader Ye! My master’s martial arts is the best in the world, there are no problems here!”


  After Eunuch Cao saw that no one moved, he wanted to continue to speak, but a fierce stare from Loud Mouth shut him up.

  The underlings of the peaked cap guy were getting impatient and wanted to come over, but he stopped them.

  Regardless of which direction I faced, I could feel his venomous gaze.

  Peaked Cap guy first pointed to himself, then to me, then he tapped his left wrist. He probably meant that we should stop wasting time and finish our business.

  The class leader also witnessed the peaked cap guy’s actions, I don’t know why but she suddenly sighed and asked: “How did you become enemies with them?”


  “Why are you so annoying? Didn’t I tell you before? It’s because they looked at me wrong when I was walking……”


  The class leader interrupted me halfway.

  “It was to save someone, right? The night I met you under the bridge, did you save my brother?”


  Even though it was an interrogative question, from her eyes, I could tell she had already reached a conclusion.

  “It was a coincidence! I didn’t know he was your brother!”


  “Didn’t you find out afterward? Why didn’t you tell me, but continued to let me misunderstand?”


  The opponent was right in front of us, why are you asking all these questions?

  “I’ll tell you if I feel like it! I won’t tell you when I don’t want to tell you! Am I asking for credit because I saved your brother? Even if I told you, how would you repay me?”


  After she heard me ask about repayment, she blushed, bit her lips and went silent.

  After a while, she whispered: “Then I’ll leave it to you, but you better win.”


  Eh? Aren’t you the representative of the good students! Why are you encouraging classmates to fight! Is it because these guys bullied your brother, so you lost all sympathy for them? Wake up class leader, your brother isn’t a good person either!

  “Also don’t get hurt.”


  After she spoke, she grabbed Loud Mouth with her left hand, Little Smart with her right, and pulled them towards the school. Eunuch Cao followed behind them like a stray dog.

  Loud Mouth listened to our entire conversation and she lost interest in fighting.

  “Ye Lin, don’t lose!”


  After she was dragged for a while she shouted.

  “If you come back uninjured, the class leader will give you a reward!”


  As if the class leader pulled her ears, she made a piercing cry. Afterward, she said something to the class leader while giggling and made her blush.

  After they walked quite a distance away, one worry was removed from my heart.

  Peaked cap waved his hands, the four of them rushed forwards and surrounded me.

  I chuckled and asked: “Should we fight here, or find a place with no disruptions?”


  After I spoke I walked towards the station in a carefree manner. The one blocking me was the mouse guy, the weakest of the bunch. Last time he took many beatings from me, and this time when he saw me coming towards him, he jumped out of the way with a yelp, opening a path.

  I ignored him and continued walking towards exit D.

  The subway station at Dongshan Lake only has four exits, but only A, B, and C were in use.

  I’m not sure if it was a financial reason, but they stopped work on exit D halfway. You can enter through exit D, but after making a few turns you would hit a dead end.

  Very few people come this way. Even if we fought inside, no one would find out.

  Peaked cap guy clearly understood my intentions. He took his three underlings and followed behind me and walked down the stairs into exit D.

  Since I was outnumbered, if I lost, I wouldn’t even be able to call for help.

  I obviously understood that fact.

  But if we fought in the streets, I would be too embarrassed to use Berserker mode.

  I laughed while descending the stairs. Inside an enclosed space, the laugh was more sinister than usual. Other than peaked cap guy, all three of them started to tremble.

  I was only paying attention to the four behind me and didn’t anticipate someone rushing at me from the front.

  I thought it was their boss lying in wait for me in front of exit D. We haven’t seen for a few days, and their strategy has increased drastically! Did they learn it by playing the three kingdoms game? Will it be like ZhuGe Liang yelling “Now!”, then they would take me down and beat me until I’m unrecognizable?

  In the end, it was a false alarm. The one rushing towards me was a beggar under the nearby bridge. He was taking off his luxury suit, and disguising himself as a pitiful disabled person. After he knew we were going to fight, he hopped out in one leg.

  Peaked cap guy told mouse guy to guard the exits and prevent people from entering. Mouse guy was happy with his assignment and happily left.

  One versus three, much easier than one versus five from the last fight.

  But this time I haven’t done any warmups, and I can’t use my right hand.

  The peaked cap guy and the other two underlings also pulled out plastic batons hidden in their waist.

  It seems like they brought weapons. No wonder they were fearless.

  I remained unyielding. I placed my right hand in my pockets and cracked the joints in my left hand.

  “Come, whoever’s not afraid to die, just one hand is enough to deal with you guys”
