Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 2166: Chapter 2367: Let Go!

Though Baldy’s gang is small, his name is well-known on the streets around Yawei Middle School. Even those with larger gangs show him respect.

Every student at Yawei Middle School knows Baldy’s name. He generally doesn’t involve himself in student affairs, plus his word carries a lot of weight here, so no one dares to offend him.

However... Gu Peng appeared surprised when he saw Baldy, having heard he caused quite a stir a few days ago. He didn’t know the specifics, but somehow Baldy had changed the rules of Yun City’s streets.

This made him increasingly wary of Baldy. He was puzzled as to why Baldy had brought a group here now, thinking it unlikely they were targeting him, since Baldy usually leaves student matters alone.

Once, a student in a fight tried to get Baldy to back him up because he had money, but Baldy refused, saying he doesn’t involve himself in student affairs, suggesting he find someone else. The student insisted; he threatened Baldy. In the end, Baldy himself beat him up, leaving him in the hospital.

After that, everyone understood Baldy’s high status here and his principles of avoiding student issues, so they stopped bothering him with such trivial matters.

So seeing Baldy bringing a group over, he felt they couldn’t be here for this matter; Baldy wouldn’t meddle in student affairs. Plus, he hadn’t called Baldy over; he could deal with Hao Jian with just a few calls at school.

As for Baldy coming to aid Hao Jian, it seemed impossible. How could Hao Jian have the power to summon someone like Baldy? That was ludicrous; Baldy would rather avoid helping him openly—this was obvious.

He smiled and said, "Don’t worry, this has nothing to do with us."

His men panicked upon seeing Baldy leading a large group toward them. But after hearing Gu Peng, they realized Hao Jian couldn’t possibly summon Baldy, shifting their aggressive stance towards Hao Jian.

Hao Jian smiled, knowing their thoughts. Perhaps they forgot about the call he made earlier; remembering that might help them understand.

"Go!" Gu Peng said.

Yet before he finished speaking, Baldy had already surrounded them completely with his group, leaving them shocked. Wasn’t Baldy not summoned by Hao Jian? Why had they been encircled? What was happening?

Even Gu Peng was confused, thinking Baldy’s sudden rush might relate to other matters—perhaps joining a fight elsewhere. But when Baldy surrounded them, even he was puzzled.

He looked around at the group encircling them, furrowing his brow.

Then Wumao, Afei, and Lin Dongyang came forward; as leaders, they naturally had to step up. Seeing Wumao and Afei, he seemed confused, unaware of their fame on Yun City’s streets, unlike Baldy’s local influence—and Gu Peng, just being a student, didn’t recognize them.

But when Lin Dongyang emerged, Gu Peng appeared surprised, as if he suddenly realized something.

Lin Dongyang was close to Hao Jian—of course, he recognized him, having interacted with him before. But why was Lin Dongyang among them? The group cleared a path for him, indicating respect. Suddenly, Gu Peng recalled Hao Jian’s earlier call, perhaps to this group, with Lin Dongyang leading them. Hao Jian wasn’t unprepared; he’d planned to tackle them.

Thinking this, he shook his head vigorously—surely impossible, accepting it only with a different explanation. Hao Jian summoning this group seemed ludicrous. If he could, why just call four people before? No need to act meekly then.

Moreover, how could Hao Jian summon Baldy? Or so many people—completely unbelievable. With such power, Hao Jian wouldn’t just hang around Yawen; he could extort protection fees. Hence, Gu Peng found it impossible.

Lin Dongyang’s presence must have another reason; he couldn’t believe otherwise.

The crowd opened a path, and Baldy approached. Seeing Baldy, Gu Peng lost much of his force. Though his parents held some power and money, allowing him free rein at Yawen, no one dared challenge him.

But Baldy operated outside the school, far removed from its norms. Within this realm, things often lacked rules—unlike teachers and students who wouldn’t dare confront him, Baldy acted as his own man.

Baldy followed his instincts, unhindered by others’ status. Seeing him emerge left Gu Peng momentarily fearing.

But with many subordinates around, he couldn’t lose face with Hao Jian watching, appearing calm.

Boldly, he walked up to Baldy, smiling, "Ah! Brother Baldy, what brings you here?"

Unexpectedly, Baldy ignored him, walking past as if unseen. Gu Peng’s extended hand hung awkwardly, his expression embarrassed.

Dozens of Gu Peng’s followers saw Baldy ignoring their leader, something unthinkable at school. Offending Gu Peng here equaled suicide.

But facing Baldy, not a regular figure, Gu Peng was speechless despite Baldy’s treatment, humiliation shown in his expression.

He smiled, withdrawing his hand, running again to block Baldy, attempting to overlook prior shame, saying, "Brother Baldy, look..."

Baldy approached Hao Jian but wasn’t pleased by Gu Peng’s interference—his face showed rage, scaring Gu Peng back. Yet he was suddenly grabbed from behind.

Turning around, he saw Wumao behind him, appearing clueless amidst the situation.

But Wumao grinned, gripping Gu Peng’s shirt, saying, "You’re Gu Peng?"

Never being seized like this, Gu Peng always intimidated others, finding the stranger audacious, his anger rising. If Baldy did it, he’d smile past it, but Wumao’s affront enraged him visibly.

"Let go!" he said.

Used to being spoiled and domineering, if Baldy grabbed him, he’d let it go. However, facing a stranger, he wasn’t scared.

Wumao, dissatisfied, tightened his grip, nearly raising Gu Peng.

"Damn! Quite a temper!" Wumao said, cigarette hanging from his mouth.

"Screw you!" Gu Peng shouted, "Let go, or you’ll regret it!"

Gu Peng’s words triggered his group, brandishing weapons ready to act. Not knowing Wumao, they lacked Baldy’s intimidation, feeling fearless.

Wumao laughed, "You brats dare threaten me with toys? Tired of living, huh?"

Gu Peng remained fearless, "I’ll count to three, release me or face the consequences."

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Bang!"
