“If you don’t hand over the money soon, I’ll take it myself, and smash your stall to pieces. Don’t blame me then…”
The young thug had clearly lost his patience. How could he establish authority in front of his own subordinates if even such a small task was handled so sluggishly?
The old man’s body trembled, obviously driven nearly mad by his son’s behavior. He cast desperate glances around at the crowd, hoping someone would step forward to speak or at least remove this unfilial son of his.
But no one paid him any attention. After all, nobody wanted trouble. If even the thug’s own father couldn’t control him, what right did outsiders have to intervene?
“Old man, nobody’s gonna help you. Anyone who dares assist you won’t leave this street alive. You always claim to be a good person—surely you wouldn’t want to drag others into this!”
Clearly, the young thug was extremely arrogant. He believed that no one here wanted any trouble, so he had no reason to be afraid.
“I’ll give you one chance—get lost now, or I can’t promise you’ll leave here intact!”
Just then, Xiao Yufan’s voice rang out. It wasn’t because he couldn’t stand the sight of the punk, but because this idiot was delaying his meal, and at this moment, Nie Shiyun’s compassion had already kicked in…
“Eh…what did you say? I can’t hear you clearly…”
The young thug was somewhat taken aback. He hadn’t expected the first person to step forward to be this pretty boy beside the beautiful girl. A playful smirk appeared on his face, clearly showing he didn’t take Xiao Yufan’s threat seriously.
“Oh, you can’t hear me? Old man, may I help you teach your son a lesson?”
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yufan didn’t even look at the young thug but instead turned his gaze to the old man. After all, this was his son. If he were going to beat him up, he should at least ask the father first…
“Young man, I know you have good intentions, but you can’t defeat this beast!”
Although the old man desperately wanted someone to discipline his ungrateful son, he was concerned about involving Xiao Yufan. He hesitated for a moment before speaking meaningfully.
“Don’t worry. From now on, he will definitely obey you.”
Xiao Yufan wasn’t acting as a savior out of altruism, but because Nie Shiyun had a soft heart. Since Senior Sister Shi Yun had already spoken, how could Xiao Yufan possibly stay out of it?
“Kid, you talk pretty big. Where do you hang out? Tell me your name so my brothers can know who the arrogant fool is here. Nobody has managed to teach my men a lesson yet, and you’re not even grown up yet…”
The young thug approached, and his several henchmen gathered behind him as well. After all, they relied on this guy for their livelihoods and needed to show some support. Besides, they didn’t take Xiao Yufan seriously at all.
However, before the punk had even finished speaking, a howl like a wolf’s echoed out. In one fluid motion, Xiao Yufan rose and kicked. He didn’t hesitate in the slightest. Ha! This guy’s physique couldn’t even withstand half the force of his kick.
“What the f***! He actually dared to hit me! Beat him down, guys! Today we can enjoy his woman afterward…”
Enraged, the young thug shouted. How could he continue collecting protection money after being beaten in front of so many people? However, as soon as he finished the first half of his sentence, his voice abruptly stopped. In Xiao Yufan’s eyes, he saw a chilling murderous intent.
A dragon has a scale that must not be touched; to do so means certain death. Likewise, Nie Shiyun was Xiao Yufan’s inviolable limit…
Even if for the old man’s sake Xiao Yufan couldn’t kill this punk, it didn’t mean the guy could continue acting so brazenly. He would soon learn, within a couple of days, exactly what it means to respect one’s elders—in the underground world, of course…
