"Hey! You little runt, you're quite fast, aren't you!"

As soon as the bald middle-aged man saw Nan Fang enter, he instantly flashed a grin. Then, he threw his cigarette butt to the ground and glared as he bellowed:

"Enough! Hurry up and hand over the money. I'm tired of dealing with you kids. From now on, keep a low profile. San Mao is my brother, and if you dare mess with him again, I'll cripple you!"

Upon hearing the bald middle-aged man's shout, a gaudily dressed punk beside him instantly became smug.

"Nan Fang, you think you're so tough! Daring to curse me at school, how about now? Got scared, didn't you!"

This punk was San Mao. He had a beef with Nan Fang. After finishing his taunt, he strode to the corner and slapped a few of the students with a 'smack smack'!

Seeing that this punk actually hit his best friends, Nan Fang's face was filled with anger:

"San Mao, it's me you have a problem with, what do they have to do with it? Let them go now, and I will apologize to you!"

Nan Fang might have been young, but he was tough. He shouted loudly at this moment!

Seeing that Nan Fang still dared to be arrogant, San Mao immediately got furious and raised his hand to deliver several more slaps to the students' faces!

Smack smack smack!

These crisp slapping sounds instantly caused the students' faces to swell, and San Mao continued his assault, shouting to the thugs around him:

"Guys, this guy doesn't respect me at school. Let's show him now what he has no right to be arrogant about!"

San Mao was obviously good buddies with the thugs around him. Upon hearing his words, the thugs smirked evilly and kicked Nan Fang as he walked by!

Bang bang bang!

Several kicks knocked Nan Fang to the ground. Yet, being tough as ever, he silently got up again and slowly walked toward San Mao!

Each time Nan Fang passed by a thug, he would receive a kick that left him covered in footprints and bruises all over his body!

Nevertheless, Nan Fang still made it to San Mao.

"Not bad! The kid's got guts!" The bald middle-aged man looked at Nan Fang with admiration in his eyes, clearly impressed with his bravery!

Mao's face twisted with extreme distaste and hatred as he looked at Nan Fang!

"Nan Fang, you want me to release them, do you have the money?" San Mao harshly asked.

Nan Fang glanced at his several friends and reluctantly pulled out a stack of money from his pocket, handing it to San Mao!

San Mao took it and without even looking, handed it directly to the bald middle-aged man!

However, the bald middle-aged man just fanned through the money and his expression immediately turned grim. Then, he kicked Nan Fang flying with a boot!

"Damn it, you little punk, bringing me just a thousand New Coin to fool me, believe it or not, I'll chop you up today!!!"

The bald middle-aged man took a couple of steps forward, then placed his foot on Nan Fang's chest and shouted, holding Machete!

The middle-aged man's kick was much heavier than any the thugs dished out. Nan Fang immediately felt as if his chest was about to break in half, the pain leaving his face deathly pale, and sweat pouring from his forehead!

"That's all the money we have at home! I stole it!" Nan Fang, seeing the Machete so close, still showed a deep fear on his face!

Upon hearing this, the bald middle-aged man's face grew even uglier, and he suddenly swung his hand, delivering a fierce slap to Nan Fang's face!

"Go to hell! I think you're looking to die. Since you can't provide the money, I'll take all you little brats back, let your fathers bring money to ransom you!!!"

After saying this, the bald middle-aged man waved to his thugs:

"Take these little brats back, let their families know, if they want them back safely, each family must bring ten thousand New Coin for ransom!!!"

"Yes, Boss!"

The surrounding gang members nodded in agreement and then moved to kidnap the students!

At this moment, Nan Fang's heart was filled with the utmost fear!

If he had known that San Mao had Machete as his backer, he would have never provoked him, since he did not want to involve his own parents and sister!

Especially considering how his parents and sister slaved away every day in that tiny rice noodle shop, Nan Fang suddenly burst into tears.

"Please don't! I beg you, you can hit me, you can yell at me, but please don't notify my family!"

Nan Fang felt extreme anger and regret in his heart, but at this moment, he was completely helpless!

"Hmm! Fuck, you might not have money, but your dads certainly do! How the hell am I supposed to get money if I don't inform your families!"

The bald middle-aged man didn't care at all, and upon hearing his words, a look of despair appeared on Nan Fang's young face!

His family was already drowning in over a hundred thousand in high-interest debt, and now, because of his issues, they needed another ten thousand or more, making Nan Fang feel like dying!

Not only Nan Fang, but the other students also started crying out of extreme panic!

Just then, a series of cursing voices came from the direction of the alley entrance!

"Fuck! Kid, who the hell are you? Beat it, don't come looking for trouble!"

"You little shit, where the hell did you pop up from! Go as far away as you can!"

...

The thugs were full of profanity, but one young man didn't care, slowly walking into the alley!

Upon seeing this young man, Nan Fang was shocked, his expression changing abruptly:

"Yezi! What are you doing here, this has nothing to do with you, just go!!!"

Nan Fang had never expected that Yezi would actually follow them here, and despite there being twenty to thirty thugs, the guy didn't seem scared at all!

But while he wasn't scared, Nan Fang was terrified!

If Yezi got caught by these people, they would surely demand an extra sum of money from his family to bail out Yezi. It wouldn't be just ten thousand, but twenty thousand New Coin!

Thinking this, Nan Fang's anger at Yezi's foolishness reached its peak!

"Get lost! Just get lost! This is my own issue, don't interfere!!!"

Right now, Nan Fang just hoped to drive Yezi away with his cursing, but to his dismay, Yezi remained unmoved, continuing to step slowly towards the scene!

The bald middle-aged man now smirked with a hint of amusement, delighted at the thought of another fool coming to give money, gladly welcoming another ten thousand in his pocket!

"Kid, so you know this little bastard too! Well then, don't leave, stick around!"

The corners of the bald middle-aged man's mouth curled up in a playful smile, but Yezi's expression remained as cold as ever. He glanced at the footprints on Nan Fang, and his battered face, and coldly asked the bald middle-aged man:

"Did you do this?"

"Right! I did!" the bald middle-aged man said, smirking with amusement:

"What, you want revenge?"

"Not looking for revenge! I just want to ask..." Yezi said with a faint smile, then added:

"Why didn't you hit him harder!!!"
