Uh…
The sound of a wolf howl spread instantly. The arrogant young thug who had been so cocky just moments ago was now lying on the ground, trembling slightly. With just a slight movement of Xiao Yufan’s hand, this guy had completely collapsed. No wonder he was only capable of collecting protection fees and pretending to be a tough guy.
“You dare to show off? Guys, take him down!”
Thrown onto the ground unexpectedly, the thug was utterly enraged. He had been hanging around this street for years, and no one had ever dared to lay a hand on Long Ge like this…
Seeing Xiao Yufan effortlessly take down Long Ge, the other few henchmen weren’t stupid. They hesitated to approach—they were indeed just bullies relying on numbers, but even with more people, they probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him.
“What the hell are you waiting for? I’ve been treating you guys well, and now when I need you to do something, you’re all useless?”
These underlings, who had given him the confidence to act tough, suddenly backed down, which annoyed him greatly. Summoning whatever courage he could muster, he suddenly shouted at them furiously…
“Bro, we can’t help with this. You’re on your own, man!”
The few men exchanged fearful glances as they looked at Xiao Yufan’s icy gaze. They had been around the block for quite some time and naturally knew who was untouchable. Xiao Yufan exuded an unfathomable aura that terrified them.
After casting a wary glance at Xiao Yufan, the speaker turned and ran off. The others, seeing someone take the lead, naturally had no desire to stay either. The situation dramatically shifted…
“F*** your mothers!”
With his last hope fleeing, the man spat angrily, mentally cursing every female relative of theirs. But right now, he had no time to vent his anger—Xiao Yufan, the ominous figure, was still holding him down.
“Brother, brother, this must be a misunderstanding! I swear, I don’t want the old man’s money anymore. Just let me go!”
Though filled with hatred for Xiao Yufan, Long Ge knew picking a fight alone would be like smashing an egg against a stone. He had walked by the river too often and finally got his shoes wet. But he never expected to run into someone this tough today… and he had also been eyeing Nie Shiyun’s beauty, someone whose elegance he had never seen before.
“Do you really want to leave?”
A playful smirk curled Xiao Yufan’s lips. This guy had dared to insult him, so how could Xiao Yufan let him off easily? But the guy should feel lucky—few people who had offended him ever walked away alive.
“Of course…”
Nodding like a drum being beaten, Long Ge was already plotting revenge. He would accept his loss this time, but if he ever met this man again, he would repay every ounce of humiliation tenfold. And Nie Shiyun’s beauty was still lingering in his mind.
“But I don’t want you to go. So what are you going to do?”
Xiao Yufan could see exactly what the guy was thinking. Shrugging helplessly, his words crushed the thug’s last hope entirely.
“Are you just messing with me?!”
The thug had a short temper, and his anger flared up again. Looking at Xiao Yufan, his eyes flickered with a cold glint. Xiao Yufan was clearly toying with him—how could he keep playing the role of a coward?
“Playing with others—do you think that’s fair?”
“Don’t push me too far! I’ve already backed down, so don’t force me into a corner. If you do, I…”
With no backup at all, the thug could only resort to empty threats, hoping Xiao Yufan would let him go. But before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw a group of black-clad men rush into the food street, looking exactly like triad members from a Hong Kong movie.
Seeing them approach, Xiao Yufan smiled, thinking Xiao Dao had arrived rather quickly. But this was a bit over the top, wasn’t it? It wasn’t like this was a bloody showdown on a long street.
“Master…”
Nie Xiaodao walked over steadily and stood beside Xiao Yufan. His loud voice echoed through the street, instantly making Xiao Yufan the center of attention. Everyone knew exactly what that title meant.
“Sha Po Lang, Nie Xiaodao!” Long Ge immediately recognized Nie Xiaodao. He had been around enough to know Nie’s name. Seeing this legendary figure addressing that man as “Master,” he wished he could just die on the spot.
After hearing the entire story, Nie Xiaodao frowned. If anyone dared to harm his sister, he would have already cut them down. But he couldn’t bear to see the old man suffer the pain of losing his son…
“So you’re Tailong? Good. You should be grateful that old man is your father, or you’d die a hundred times over today!”
Nie Xiaodao’s expression turned icy cold. His gaze at Tailong was filled with disdain. Normally, someone like this wouldn’t even be worth his effort, but since the young master had taken an interest, he was more than happy to handle it.
“Yes, yes, I’m an idiot, I deserve to die…”
Tailong’s eyes were hollow as he muttered. This was real power—how could he, a mere thug, ever reach such a level?
“I’m glad you understand. But even though you deserve death, we won’t kill you. Come with us. When you come back, you’ll behave yourself!”
Nie Xiaodao waved his hand, and three men from the Dark Sect stepped forward, grabbing Tailong and dragging him away. He didn’t even attempt to resist—he knew resistance would be futile.
“Old man, I’ll help you discipline your son. I hope you don’t mind. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine!”
Turning to the old man with a warm smile, Xiao Yufan’s expression was gentle, but some people felt a chill run down their spines. This was the young master of the Dark Sect—his every move could determine anyone’s life or death in Linjiang.
After a moment of shock, the old man simply nodded. His instincts told him that Xiao Yufan and this beautiful young lady weren’t bad people. Besides, he had no control over his son. Perhaps handing him over to someone else might actually offer a glimmer of hope…
“Alright, you can go now. I still have a date!”
Seeing the old man nod in agreement, Xiao Yufan signaled to Xiao Dao that they could leave. After all, he still had a date with Sister Shiyun. Having others around felt awkward. Hearing this, Nie Xiaodao simply smiled warmly and turned away without a word.
In Xiao Dao’s mind, he actually hoped something would happen between his sister and the young master. After all, he didn’t think anyone else was worthy of her. Only someone as exceptional as the young master could be a match for her…
Seeing her younger brother’s expression, Nie Shiyun’s face flushed again, her expression utterly adorable, like a young girl of eighteen or nineteen…
