“Bro Chen, what did you just say?“ Ba Guan thought he was mistaken. He stared at Bai Chen, while Yong Gua and the others frowned unhappily.
“Never thought you would be deaf, Bro Guan. I told you and your crew to bugger off!” Bai Chen was ready to take his revenge. He knew very well that Ba Guan would not leave like he’d told him to.
“Hahaha!”
Ba Guan laughed when he heard Bai Chen's words. Never had he imagined that this day would come—the day when Bai Chen dared to talk to him like this, which was, in fact, not a bad thing for him at all.
Actually, he thought that he was done using Bai Chen. It was now time to teach him a lesson. And what time would be more fitting than now when Bai Chen was the one who started it? This was the best excuse for him to easily beat him up.
“You’ve got guts. Boss Guan, should we just beat him up?” Yong Gua was very upset at Bai Chen’s words. His face was hostile when he saw Bai Chen’s nonchalant expression.
Of course, it was not only Yong Gua who was upset. Ba Guan’s three sidekicks were also dissatisfied. Their faces signalled that they were ready to smash him to a pulp.
As for Qian Bei, he was dumbfounded. He had never thought that anyone would step in to help. And this guy was actually a person he knew well—it was the forever top of class, Bai Chen.
He had never spoken a word to Bai Chen before, so he did not know why Bai Chen would save him.
Nevertheless, Qian Bei felt grateful to Bai Chen from the bottom of his heart for what he had done. He was about to tell the guy not to jump in.
From the look of things, there was no way Bai Chen could take down Ba Guan’s gang of five.
However, Qian Bei did not get a chance to speak his mind because Ba Guan had already rushed towards Bai Chen. His face was no longer smiling. There was only rage painted on it.
“You really want to get pulverized? Piece of trash!”
It was obvious that Ba Guan did not want Yong Gua and his other sidekicks to beat Bai Chen up—because he wanted to do it himself!
Today was the day their friendships came to an end!
Bai Chen watched as Ba Guan’s body approached. He did not feel any fear; he only found Ba Guan's speed to extremely slow, like slow motion. It looked like this was the ability from the low-grade martial arts technique he’d obtained.
“Take this fist of father’s fury!” Ba Guan shouted before swinging his fist at Bai Chen’s face. He gave it all he had without holding back.
Yong Gua and the other three smiled in satisfaction at Ba Guan’s action. They all thought that Bai Chen would be nothing more than a mere rag after being assaulted by Ba Guan.
“S… stop it!”
Qian Bei screamed in panic. His thought was the same as that of Yong Gua’s crew. He thought Bai Chen would definitely be gravely injured after taking Ba Guan’s punch to the face.
However, an unexpected thing happened. Bai Chen slowly reached out to take Ba Guan’s fist.
Thud!
The sound of the fist and the palm crashing against each other rang out. Ba Guan’s expression changed. He felt as if he had just punched metal. His fist shook violently. He felt great pain.
His fist loosened up and drooped down. It was clear that he had broken his wrist—just like that, only by punching Bai Chen’s palm!
“Ackkkkkk!” Ba Guan shrieked and fell to his knees on the ground. His face was pale and colourless from great pain.
“Bo… Boss Guan!”
Yong Gua and the other three screamed in panic. They could not quite believe what they had witnessed. How could a person as strong as Ba Guan be finished off by Bai Chen?
“Avenge our boss!” Yong Gua shouted. He chose to ignore Ba Guan’s condition and assumed the role of leader, fearing that Bai Chen would run away.
The other sidekicks also understood his intention. They all followed Yong Gua's lead and rushed out to circle Bai Chen, their faces solemn. Anyone who could deal with Ba Guan should be quite skilled in combat.
But they all thought one person would lose against their number, so they were not too concerned. The four of them thought they could beat Bai Chen up easily to avenge their boss. fre(e)webnovel.com
Bai Chen also acted like he did not care about being surrounded. He looked at Ba Guan, who was holding his wrist with a pale face and a twisted, painful expression. The boy spoke in a cold voice.
“Get this in your head, Ba Guan. Don’t show your face to me ever again. Otherwise, it won’t be just your wrist that is broken. I’ll make sure to break your leg and arm too!”
After speaking his mind, Bai Chen did not wait for Ba Guan’s reply. He kicked Ba Guan’s face, sending the boy flying to land on top of one of his sidekicks, pushing them both to the side.
Ba Guan’s and his sidekick’s bodies flew over and hit the wall. Both of them were...knocked out cold!
“How dare you! Let’s get this bastard!”
Yong Gua was slightly caught off guard. But he quickly pulled himself together and shouted out in haste.
The other two nodded and rushed over to beat up Bai Chen.
Unfortunately, their punches were too slow. Bai Chen’s fist landed on each of their faces, sending them flying towards the wall and passing out just like Ba Guan.
“Damn it!”
Yong Gua saw the situation unfold before his eyes and thought helplessly about escaping. He spun around, preparing to bolt, not caring about taking revenge for Ba Guan anymore. Looking at how Bai Chen had dealt with three of his crew, it was not hard at all to finish him, too.
If that was the case, why bother staying and getting hurt?
But before he got the chance to run, Yong Gua’s vision went cloudy with twinkling stars. Bai Chen’s punch had landed directly on his face!
