Chapter 240: Chapter 241: Little Overlord
After dinner, the two of them left the restaurant as the sky outside gradually darkened. It was already 6:50 PM, and before they knew it, the day had passed by.
Li Ruobing turned his head to look at Xiao Han and asked, “Xiao Han, do you have any plans for tonight?”
“No,” Xiao Han shook his head.
“Then… shall we take a walk by the river?” Li Ruobing suggested with a smile.
“The river?” Xiao Han was puzzled.
“Yeah!” Li Ruobing nodded and explained, “The Wanglong River. It’s a super famous river in the provincial city, but what’s near us is just a branch of it. Generally speaking, it’s quite suitable for a post-dinner stroll.”
“Sure,” Xiao Han nodded.
At night, University Town became lively, with crowded streets. Many people were walking around, especially some new students who were curiously observing the commercial street, seemingly full of curiosity and expectation for their next few years of life there.
Not far away, a group of people had gathered in a lively huddle.
Shouts came from within the crowd from time to time.
“Beat him, kill him!”
Xiao Han, curious, moved closer and saw a few youngsters brutally attacking a student. Five or six people were ganging up on a single boy. The boy lay on the ground, curled up, his hands clasping his head tightly, for fear of being hit on the head by the others.
Seeing this, Xiao Han was about to intervene when Li Ruobing hastily grabbed him and whispered, “Xiao Han, don’t go there.”
“Why?” Xiao Han frowned.
“They are the bullies of University Town, you can’t afford to provoke them!” Li Ruobing hastily explained.
“The bullies of University Town?” Xiao Han asked in confusion, “Are they from our school?”
“No!” Li Ruobing shook his head, “They are students from the Business and Trade School, juniors. Rumor has it they started some gang, recruited a bunch of people, and roam around University Town every day, bullying honest students and often harassing female students. They are rotten to the core.”
“Then all the more reason to teach them a lesson,” Xiao Han said, anger rising.
He pushed through the crowd.
Crack…
Suddenly, a judo throw sent the leader, a tall guy, flying several meters away.
Whoosh…
The spectators were stunned, with a crowd looking dumbfounded at Xiao Han. Some eyes revealed admiration, but even more looked at Xiao Han with pity. After all, anyone who dared to provoke them would end up dead or crippled.
“Who are you?” the opponent asked sternly.
“I’m just someone who can’t stand the sight of you throwing your weight around!” Xiao Han said with a cold smile before helping the beaten student up from the ground. The student gave Xiao Han a grateful look and said, “Brother, you should run. You can’t afford to mess with them.”
“If it’s already stirred up, what’s there that can’t be afforded?” Xiao Han said with disdain, “China is a society that abides by the rule of law, not one that settles things with fists!”
The thrown man got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gritted his teeth, “You dared to hit me?”
“So it’s alright for you to bully others, but not for someone to bully you?” Xiao Han said with a cold smile and then looked at the other side, “When you bully others, you should weigh your own strength, understand?”
“Great,” the man bit his teeth and said, “Pretty soon, I’ll teach you how to behave!”
At this, the five men began to slowly surround him.
“Heh,” Xiao Han glanced at them; they were just ordinary students with no real combat power. They could outnumber regular students and intimidate them with their presence. But against someone who genuinely knew kung fu and had a bit of fists and kicks kung fu, their advantage in numbers was clearly useless.
The man laughed and then said, “Guys, show this kid some color. Let him see how tough the Little Overlord is!”
“Yes, boss!” The five immediately closed in.
“Brother, you should leave,” the student earnestly said.
“Don’t worry, they can’t do anything to me today,” Xiao Han said scornfully, then added, “Today, I’ll also let you know that University Town isn’t a place for you to call the shots.”
The student, seeing that Xiao Han not only didn’t leave but was also willing to help him, was extremely grateful.
At this moment, the others had already pounced.
Although the five or six men did not possess much combat power, they each had an imposing attitude that felt like they were filled with combat power.
Xiao Han watched them approach, grabbed an arm swung his way with one hand, and twisted with the motion. The opponent immediately felt a piercing pain. The wrist was gripped so tightly by Xiao Han there was no room to maneuver.
A sly smile appeared on Xiao Han’s face.
“Just you?” Xiao Han snorted coldly.
“Xiao Han, be careful!” Suddenly, Li Ruobing covered her mouth and screamed from the side.
Not far away, the leader of the men swung a brick fiercely towards Xiao Han. If it had hit him, Xiao Han would probably be finished; if the brick had hit his head, nine out of ten people would become vegetative, and the tenth would die on the spot.
Xiao Han turned and delivered a roundhouse kick, fiercely kicking the man in the chest.
Crack…
A crisp sound followed, and the man was kicked into the air, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones. After the man hit the ground, he let out a sharp, agonizing scream.
“Ah!” The man was in extreme pain.
“Big brother!” A few male students hurriedly ran over and clumsily helped the man up from the ground.
“Don’t… don’t touch me, it hurts… it hurts!” the man kept screaming in agony.
“What do we do? What… what should we do?” The boys were panicked.
“Quick… call an ambulance!” The leader shouted in pain, his mouth oozing fresh blood.
Xiao Han walked over slowly. The five guys glared fiercely at Xiao Han and said, “Kid, you’re dead meat.”
“Kneel down!” Xiao Han suddenly barked.
“You’re crazy!” Several students looked at Xiao Han in astonishment.
Slap!
Suddenly, Xiao Han slapped one of the men across the face. The blow left the man stupefied, speechless, unable to move at all. He could only stand there dumbfounded, staring at Xiao Han with a look of shock.
“You… you hit me?” The man was incredibly surprised, his right hand covering his cheek as if he had encountered something inconceivable.
“Yes, I hit you!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “I’m hitting someone like you who is disloyal, unrighteous, heartless, and unfilial!”
“You!” The man gritted his teeth. He wanted to fight back, but having just witnessed Xiao Han’s prowess, he dared not retaliate and could only stand stiffly on the spot, not daring to utter a sound.
A sly smile appeared on the corners of Xiao Han’s mouth.
“Yes, hitting you!” Xiao Han sneered and said, “How can you justify your behavior, messing around like this outside, to your hardworking parents? To the society’s tolerance for you, to the nurturing given to you by the country?”
“You!” The man was even more infuriated.
“Kneel down!” Xiao Han roared in anger.
Those around were also stunned, as they had never seen anyone dare to speak to Little Overlord like that. Little Overlord was a notorious gang in University Town, known for extorting and collecting protection money from the Business and Trade School. They were very bad and extremely domineering. They called themselves Little Overlord.
“Damn it!” The man was enraged, and he furiously pounced on Xiao Han.
No one had ever hit him since he was a child, especially not on the face. That slap completely touched his pride and utterly infuriated him. He went crazy, completely losing his temper. That’s why he decided to strike back at Xiao Han.
He clenched his fist and harshly threw a punch at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han sidestepped and grabbed the man’s wrist with one hand while using his foot to trip the man, making him roll down like a log. The man fell face-first to the ground.
“Ouch…” The man screamed in pain.
Thud, thud!
Just as he was about to get up, Xiao Han lifted his leg and delivered two swift kicks. The man had just managed to get up when he immediately went down again.
Thud, thud!
Xiao Han again kicked continuously, and as the man tried to get up, Xiao Han kicked him back to the ground. The man gnashed his teeth in anger as Xiao Han’s kicks kept landing on the same spot, his thigh, which felt like it was being scorched by waves of fire with each blow. It seemed like his body wasn’t under his control anymore. His right leg had completely lost sensation, and he struggled to stand.
Thud!
Another kick landed on the thigh of his right leg, and with that strike, the man collapsed on the spot, almost passing out. After he fell, he actually started crying out, “Why… why do you keep hitting me, and always the same spot! It hurts… it hurts! Don’t you know it’s painful for me?!”
“Kneel down!” Xiao Han shouted angrily.
The man was so frightened that his tears were shoved back. He hastily knelt on the ground.
“How about you?” Xiao Han looked coldly at the other four men.
“Kid, don’t get too cocky.” A man in suspenders glared at Xiao Han and then said, “Let me tell you, offending us, Little Overlord, won’t do you any good. It’s best if you know your place; otherwise, I’ll make you incredibly sorry.”
“You, kneel down as well!” Xiao Han huffed.
“Damn, do you really think you’re a big shot?” The man in suspenders became agitated and said through gritted teeth, “Do you really think we’re scared of you?”
“You could try,” said Xiao Han with a slight smile.
The man in suspenders sneered and then said, “Fine, you’re asking for it.”
With that, the man in suspenders walked towards Xiao Han, then cooly said, “Even if you win today, you’ll die a horrible death. Just so you know, you can’t afford to mess with Little Overlord. You better come to your senses. Leave now, and we’ll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead.”
