Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Unwilling to Accept Loss After a Bet _1
As Ye Ming’s strength in his hands grew stronger, Li Xuanzhi, no matter how tough his pride was, couldn’t withstand it and passed out on the spot.
Afterwards, Ye Ming kindly channeled a surge of True Qi into Li Xuanzhi’s body, reviving him, and moreover, making him even more lucid than before.
"Ye, what on earth do you want!" Li Xuanzhi was sweating profusely, and his tone of voice was clearly not as firm as before.
"You didn’t hold back when you attacked me, so it’s only right for me to give you the most painful blow in return, as a sign of my respect for you," Ye Ming said indifferently, "Let’s not waste words, it’s time for you to admit defeat."
"Do you remember the bet we just made? Isn’t it time to honor it?"
Upon hearing Ye Ming’s words, not only did Li Xuanzhi’s face turn ashen, but the members of the Tiger Team also hung their heads in shame.
No matter what, they were going to lose face in a big way today.
But now they had no other choice, for they were outclassed in skill.
The rules of the battlefield were cruel like that, victors are kings and losers are bandits; those who lose have no right to set conditions.
Park Zhengmeng couldn’t bear to see his instructor being humiliated in such a way and hurriedly stood up to the front, saying, "What was said just now doesn’t count, it was just a few empty words, you didn’t record it!"
"Ye, you’d better release our instructor right away, otherwise, the consequences will be severe!"
"Minister Yang, is this how you treat your guests? What an eye-opener for me today."
Several pressing questions put Yang Tianxiong in a difficult position.
No one expected that the situation on the field would turn around so quickly; the match ended after just one move.
But thinking about that bet, Yang Tianxiong felt a headache coming on, was he really going to make the proud coach of the Tiger Team strip and run naked?
If that happened, things would get completely out of hand.
What would he do when the higher-ups demanded an explanation?
Seeing Yang Tianxiong showing a hint of hesitation, Wang Yating couldn’t help but say, "Minister Yang, they lost the match, it’s only right to accept defeat gracefully. If they can’t handle losing, why did they make such a bet in the first place?"
"Instructor Ye has won against them, can they just shamelessly renege on the bet?"
Yang Tianxiong didn’t know how to explain, so he could only look towards Ye Ming with a plea for help, hoping to leave the decision to him.
After all, this seemingly simple bet involved too many things, too many responsibilities that he couldn’t bear on his own.
Ye Ming saw the difficulty faced by Yang Tianxiong and loosened his grip, saying, "The outcome has already been decided, whether you will fulfill the bet is up to you."
Having said that, Ye Ming released his hold, finally allowing Li Xuanzhi to break free.
At this moment, Park Zhengmeng and the other members of the Tiger Team immediately rushed over, anxiously inquiring about Li Xuanzhi’s condition.
"This is their idea of hospitality, I’ve really seen it all today! Let’s go!" Li Xuanzhi said righteously.
Ye Ming showed leniency, but it seemed that the Tiger Team was not grateful at all and was set to shamelessly leave.
Razor and a few members of the Falcon Squad were starting to feel indignant.
"They’re too shameless, Instructor Ye was just being lenient to show our great nation’s dignity, and they actually have the gall to just walk away!"
"A country of villains indeed, truly despicable, disgusting!"
Even the usually composed Wang Yating couldn’t help cursing a few words at this time.
Li Xuanzhi and Park Zhengmeng acted as if they hadn’t heard a thing; they believed they had paid their dues, so they could leave with their heads held high.
"Captain Park, we’ll remember what happened today. In the future, we must make Falcon Squad pay!" Li Xuanzhi said through gritted teeth in a low voice.
Park Zhengmeng nodded, showing his strong agreement.
"Falcon Squad only has Ye Ming; the others are trash. In the future, we will definitely make them pay dearly! When we see them on the battlefield, I will kill them for sure!" Park Zhengmeng declared.
Busying themselves with their own off-road vehicle, they were about to make their getaway when Ye Ming’s figure suddenly appeared before them.
Ye Ming said coldly, "I only said I wouldn’t hurt you. Are you planning to just walk away like this?"
Park Zhengmeng cursed, "Get lost, our contest has ended!"
Ye Ming shook his head and said, "You’ve hurt my team members. You can’t leave without paying a price."
"Get out, bow your heads in apology, and then you can beat it!"
Clutching his throbbing right hand, Li Xuanzhi said viciously to Ye Ming, "Apologize? That’s a huge joke. If anyone should apologize, it’s you to us. You’ve injured my hand, and I haven’t even settled the score with you!"
"Move aside now, or don’t blame us for running you over!"
They believed that being inside the vehicle would protect them from harm, but they were wrong.
Ye Ming said coldly, "Without an apology, you’re not going anywhere!"
Park Zhengmeng’s face was twisted with malice as he slammed the accelerator hard.
"I’ll run over you, you piece of trash!"
There was a screech as the roar of the engine sounded, the off-road vehicle’s tires spinning madly on the ground and kicking up clods of dirt.
Park Zhengmeng had no mercy; since he’d lost to Ye Ming in hand-to-hand combat, he’d find his revenge elsewhere, intending to run Ye Ming down.
However, the next second, his vehicle only jolted forward a little before stopping dead in its tracks.
Ye Ming’s hand was on the front bumper of the car, and with just one hand, he had brought the off-road vehicle to a halt.
"Damn, how is that possible? What on earth is he?" Zhang Changyang was the first to shout out, his eyes filled with shock.
Ye Ming’s actions had completely overturned his understanding; he had never witnessed such a forceful person before.
He believed he could never reach Ye Ming’s level in his lifetime, and although deep down he felt some admiration, he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Stopping a car with bare hands, truly worthy of Instructor Ye. What is it that he can’t do?"
"It’s incredible, Instructor Ye continues to surprise us. What more about him do we not know?"
The members of Falcon Squad were also shocked and began to express their admiration for Ye Ming even more intensely.
Wang Yating slightly narrowed her eyes, watching Ye Ming with a meaningful gaze, her thoughts turning.
"This man is indeed extraordinary. No wonder grandfather arranged this. Could he really be the one destined for me?"
She muttered to herself, "Then I definitely can’t let him go. I have to seize him tightly! I can’t let another woman snatch him away."
"Grandfather, rest assured, the marriage you’ve arranged for me, I will grasp it firmly!"
