Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang walked up to Chen Rui, smiled faintly, and said, ”If you’re putting on a concert, just focus on the concert, right? So why provoke me? Oh, is it because Hu Xiexie ignored you that you’re taking your anger out on me? You realize this is suicide, right?”

Chen Rui clenched his teeth and said angrily, ”I warn you, if you dare lay a finger on me, I’ll call the police and get you arrested immediately!”

”Oh, go ahead, call the police!” Su Yang said with a smile, ”I’m giving you this chance!”

Chen Rui bit his teeth and turned to look at a band member, urgently saying, ”What are you standing there for, call the police!”

The band member hurriedly made the call, but while he was speaking, Su Yang suddenly leaned in and said with a smile, ”Right, tell them that Su Yang is beating someone right here!”

”Huh?” The band member paused, said a few words, and his expression became even more confused. After hanging up the phone, he said with a mournful face, ”Brother Rui, they...they said it’s just kids squabbling, they... they won’t handle it...”

”What are you talking about!” Chen Rui said anxiously, ”How many people have fallen, my bodyguard’s even got a broken bone, didn’t you tell them that?”

The band member’s voice trembled as he said, ”I did, but they just said it’s kids squabbling and they won’t get involved...”

”Why is this happening? Why?” Chen Rui was stupefied, it was his first encounter with such a situation.

”Kid, looks like you really don’t know what ’covering the sky with one hand’ means,” Su Yang said with a faint smile, ”Let me tell you, in Nanluo City, or rather the whole Pingnan Province, if I want you dead, no one can save you!”

If Su Yang had said this before, Chen Rui certainly wouldn’t have believed it. But now, Chen Rui believed it.

The police were no use, just how powerful was Su Yang’s influence? Just who had he offended this time?

”Don’t worry, I won’t hit you!” Su Yang said, patting Chen Rui on the shoulder cheerfully, ”But about that slander of you accusing me of plagiarizing your work, we should settle that, shouldn’t we? Wang Hao, call the police, claim that someone slandered me!”

”Got it!” Wang Hao immediately took out his phone, and soon came back saying with a smile, ”All set, Brother Yang, they said they’ll be here in five minutes!”

Chen Rui almost spat blood; the difference in treatment was just too glaring. When he called the police, nobody showed up. But Su Yang managed to get them there in five minutes with just one phone call?

”Relax, slander is just a minor charge; it won’t cause a big fuss,” Su Yang said cheerfully, ”However, seducing someone is another story. Brother Rui, with all the immoral things you’ve done, do you think you’ll ever get out if you end up in the station?”

Chen Rui’s face turned pale; indeed, he had deceived many girls of their chastity. If he were really locked up and they conducted a thorough investigation, he would certainly be doomed.

”Alright, think it over yourself, we’re leaving now!” Su Yang said with a smile.

”Don’t go...” Suddenly, Chen Rui lunged forward, clinging to Su Yang’s legs, weeping bitterly, ”Big brother, I... I won’t dare again, please spare me, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong...”

”Ah, what am I supposed to do with you!”

Su Yang said with a face that seemed to regret the other’s failure to meet expectations, ”You’re a music student with talent, more brains than brawn, so why is it that even when you’re begging for mercy and apologizing, you still have no originality? How are you any different from those jocks with more brawn than brains?”

”Then... what should I do...” Chen Rui was sniveling, completely bereft of his image.

Su Yang said, ”At the very least, you ought to slap yourself three to five hundred times until you bleed from the mouth to show some real remorse!”

”What?” Chen Rui was stunned. To hit himself in public would be so humiliating.

Su Yang waved his hand and said, ”Forget it, I see you can’t do it, let’s go, everyone disperse!”

”No, I’ll do it, I’ll do it...” Chen Rui hurriedly raised his hand and started to slap his own face.

Smack, smack, smack!

One slap after another, Chen Rui really laid in the blows, and in no time, he had beaten himself until blood flowed freely from his mouth.

The fangirls below were thoroughly disappointed; the current Chen Rui didn’t have a shred of his suave image left, turning completely into a pitiful, hapless dog.

After more than a hundred hits, Chen Rui could no longer bring himself to continue, his voice trembling as he said, ”Big Brother, this... Is this alright...?”

”Hmm, I’m very satisfied!” Su Yang nodded.

”Then... then can I leave?” An excited Chen Rui asked.

”How should I know!” Su Yang stiffened his neck, ”I’m not a police officer!”

”What?” Chen Rui was stunned, and just then, the police sirens blared outside; it really hadn’t been five minutes.

”Little bro, go and reform yourself properly!” Su Yang waved at Chen Rui, chuckling as he led his group away.

Chen Rui felt like he was about to vomit blood. Had he known this would happen, he would have never provoked Su Yang. Now his image was completely ruined, his persona shattered, and on top of that, he was facing the specter of jail time—he genuinely felt a compulsion to die!

Stepping out of the gym, Hu Xiexie followed closely behind Su Yang, ”Su Yang, where did you learn that piece of music? It’s so beautiful!”

”Learn? I created it myself!” Su Yang said.

”Nonsense, you can compose?” Hu Xiexie looked incredulous.

”Su Yang, stop joking around, will you? Back when we were in school, did you ever pass music?” Zhao Qiu Peng mercilessly exposed him.

”You really don’t believe me, do you? I composed that myself!” Su Yang insisted, ”If you don’t believe me, go check it out, see if this piece of music exists anywhere in the world!”

Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Hao cautiously asked, ”Brother Yang, did you really compose that?”

”Of course!” Su Yang replied.

”My God!” Wang Hao’s eyes widened in disbelief, ”That’s amazing! You can both write and fight; I’m thoroughly impressed!”

Zhao Qiu Peng was also flabbergasted, ”Su Yang, are you serious?”

”Nonsense, do I look like I’m joking?” Su Yang retorted.

”My God!” Zhao Qiu Peng was equally astonished, ”Su Yang, do you realize, if this piece of music gets out, I bet you won’t even need to apply for college!”

”Why?” Su Yang asked, puzzled.

”Every year, those music schools recruit students with exceptional gifts!” Zhao Qiu Peng excitedly explained, ”And yours would be considered the greatest gift!”

”Is that so?” Su Yang scratched his head; actually, he had never considered going to college.

”This piece is amazing. I’ve never heard music as beautiful as this in my whole life!” Zhao Qiu Peng continued excitedly, ”I’m telling you, if those music schools find out about your piece, they’ll be fighting to get you to enroll. You’d be like a living advertisement for them; the school’s reputation would depend on you!”

”Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?” Su Yang said.

”Humph, exaggerated? This is normal!” Zhao Qiu Peng insisted, ”Every year, students with special talents get special admissions. Your composing talent is the best specialty!”
