Chapter 4

"What the—! Let Chicken go right now!"

Seeing Chicken's face covered in blood as Li Fengtian battered him amid his agonizing shrieks, Chan Ho-nam and the others flew into a rage.

Each pointing their machetes at Li Fengtian, they wanted to charge forward, yet hesitated out of fear that he would inflict further harm on Chicken.

Li Fengtian raised his sharp, triangular eyes, swept a cold glance over them, and spat out a single chilling word: "Scram!"

Say what you will, Chan Ho-nam was fiercely loyal. Seeing that reasoning with Li Fengtian was useless, he didn't hesitate for a second and lunged straight at him.

In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Li Fengtian, bringing his machete down toward Li Fengtian's head without a shred of hesitation.

If this blow landed squarely, even if it didn't kill him, it would likely leave him permanently crippled...

*Swish*—

Yet Li Fengtian calmly tilted his head, dodging the blade by a hair's breadth.

Then, before Chan Ho-nam could launch another attack, he smashed a brick straight into Chan Ho-nam's crotch...

*Thud*—

"Aargh—!"

Everything happened in the flash of a spark, so fast that even Chan Ho-nam, the person directly involved, didn't even register it before a wave of agonizing, heart-rending pain shot through his groin.

The machete slipped from Chan Ho-nam's hand, clattering onto the ground, and he collapsed, clutching his crotch and howling in agony.

*Hiss*—

All around them, the onlookers watching the spectacle— especially the men—instantly felt a phantom ache in their own groins.

"Holy shit..."

Even Yan Liang, who was walking over toward them, was left completely dumbfounded.

He had never imagined that Li Fengtian would fight so ruthlessly. A family-ending brick!! Talk about vicious!

Looking at Chan Ho-nam's miserable state, Yan Liang couldn't help thinking... Even if Li Fengtian's brick didn't literally render Chan Ho-nam incapable of having children... It would probably leave him with a lifelong chronic injury!

From this day on, this handsome lad of Hung Hing would likely be reduced to all show and no substance!

Which was fine by him, saving him from ever tormenting Little Smarty in the future.

"Brother Nam..."

Seeing Chan Ho-nam injured, Tai Tin-yee and the others instinctively rushed toward Li Fengtian.

Facing these youngbloods of the underworld, Teacher Li fully assumed the demeanor of a senior, personally teaching these youngsters... What the underworld was really about! What true violence looked like!

Without bothering with any weapons, the older man simply gripped half a brick in his hand.

Moving with fluid agility amidst dodges and shifts, he struck with blinding speed. Hitting either right between the brows or squarely on the back of the head. In a matter of minutes, he had laid out a whole group of blade-wielding youths onto the pavement...

Every single one of them was left bleeding from the head, howling endlessly!

Suddenly, apart from their groans, not a sound remained in the surroundings as everyone stood frozen in utter shock.

Hung Hing's elite enforcers had been completely wiped out! And taken down by a skinny old-timer, at that! Would you believe it?

What the fuck! Could anyone tell them... Was this motherfucking dream or reality? Even the legendary braggart Chaut-kei would never dare boast about something like this, right?

A whole gang of robust, muscular young men... Actually got taken to the cleaners by an unremarkable middle-aged uncle!!

"Thanks... Nice work!"

Meanwhile, Babi, lying off to the side, finally snapped out of his shock.

Watching Chan Ho-nam and his crew sprawled all over the ground, he naturally felt overjoyed... Just a second ago, he had been like a stray dog, a hair's breadth from death's door. Who could have imagined that a divine savior would drop in out of nowhere and pluck him from the jaws of danger?

How could he not be ecstatic?

And so, Babi decided he was good to go again. So what if he'd just been stabbed in the kidney... Sew it up and it'd still work fine! No big deal!

"Big Brother, from now on, you're my sworn big brother from a different mother! From this day forward, wherever there's food for me to eat, I guarantee you'll live the high life..."

Without caring about anything else, Babi rattled off a string of lavish promises before abruptly changing his tune: "Big Brother, give me the knife. These punk hoodlums dared to come after me, so today, no matter what, I've got to teach them a lesson..."

*Bang*—

"Aargh—!"

"Where'd you get so much bullshit? Just stay down!"

Before Babi could even finish his sentence, Li Fengtian answered him with a brick. That single brick instantly sent him spinning into a constellation of stars and a revolving world... Drawing fresh blood from his forehead!

Are you kidding me? A guy on the verge of being dunced for debt had the nerve to stand there giving orders? Running his mouth like that— he truly had zero self-awareness.

At the same time, Chan Ho-nam and the others lying on the ground were completely dumbstruck by the sight...

Wait, what on earth was happening here? You save a guy, and then you smack him in the face with a brick?

"Waaaah—!"

Right at that moment, the wail of police sirens echoed from the distance. Heaven knows which public-spirited citizen had called the cops!

Seeing this, Yan Liang bolted forward, directly hauling up the bleeding and dizzy Babi... "Old Li, fall back!"

With those words, he hoisted the nearly two-hundred-pound Babi and sprinted away from the scene with light, nimble steps, leaving everyone with a dashing view of his retreating back.

Seeing this, Li Fengtian dusted off his hands, picked up his brick from the ground, and even flashed a smile at Chan Ho-nam and the others.

Yet that smile... made Chan Ho-nam and his bloody crew involuntarily shudder.

There was no helping it— the psychological trauma the man had inflicted on them was simply too immense! Who ever heard of gangsters running around with bricks instead of blades? And the casual, fluid grace with which he battered people... Come to think of it, though, that thing really was convenient to use, easy to carry, and didn't even count as a restricted weapon. If he ever got the chance, he might just have to try it out himself.

Yan Liang and Li Fengtian made a dashing escape with Babi in tow, leaving behind utter chaos at the scene.

Gritting their teeth against the dizziness, Chan Ho-nam and his men hauled themselves up from the ground.

Yet before they could even leave, the police arrived. Blocking their path, the officers confronted them.

"What's going on with you lot?"

"Officer, we were just walking and took a clumsy fall!"

"The hell... Do you take me for an idiot? You fall while walking, and you all end up with bloody heads? And every single one of you with the exact same injury?"

The lead officer glared at them as if they were fools.

Um... Chan Ho-nam and the others froze.

Still, Tai Tin-yee forced himself to speak up: "Officer, we really did just take a fall. If there's nothing else, we'll be on our way! We still need to see a doctor at the hospital!"

"That's right, Officer... We need a doctor! And our boss..." Pou-pei cast a worried glance toward the ground, where Chan Ho-nam was still clutching his crotch with a look of pure agony.

"Fine then! You lot are coming with us! We'll give you a ride to the hospital, and you can file your statements along the way!"

Realizing there was no escaping it, the men had no choice but to bite the bullet and help support Chan Ho-nam and Chicken into the police car.

"Brother Nam, I've seen that punk who dragged Babi away just now—he's one of Liang Kun's men! I think his name is Yan Liang or something..."

Inside the police car, seeing that Chan Ho-nam was still wincing in pain, Poultry Skin suddenly spoke up.

"Liang Kun's man?"

Hearing this, they all froze. A fierce glint flashed in Chan Ho-nam's eyes: "Since we know whose dog he is, that makes things easy... *Hiss*—"

Because of his sudden agitation, Chan Ho-nam inadvertently aggravated his injury down below and once again doubled over, clutching his crotch in sheer torment...

Say what you will, Li Fengtian's strike had truly given him an unforgettably bracing experience!
