Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 548: Chapter 547 Bullying

The elderly man said, jabbing his one leg into the ground more desperately to pick up speed, hoping to get out of there. But he had just that one leg, using it to push the small board cart along, how fast could he be?

Instead, due to being overly anxious and panicked, he failed to choose his direction properly and charged straight into a girl beside him, his forehead bumping into the girl’s leg.

”Ouch!” the girl screamed, and with a look of disgust, she stepped back several times, urgently saying, ”You filthy beggar, can’t you watch where you’re going? I’m soiled now!”

”I’m... I’m so sorry...” the elderly man said, his face turning deathly pale, as he hastily backed away. As a result, after retreating two steps, he bumped into a man.

”Are you blind?” the man yelled angrily, and kicked the elderly man’s board cart with his foot.

The cart flipped over, and the elderly man fell off, the change in his broken bowl scattering on the ground.

”I’m... I’m so sorry, so sorry...”

The elderly man apologized repeatedly, his only hand frantically reaching to pick up the scattered change on the ground. However, the coins had spread so far that it was difficult to gather them, and he could only crawl on the ground to do so.

”Hey, old fellow, didn’t you hear me telling you to leave?” the pot-bellied captain barked angrily.

”I... I’m leaving right now, I’m leaving right now...” the elderly man replied, once again in a panic as he attempted to crawl back onto the cart.

Yet, he couldn’t bear to part with those coins. One hand scrambling for the coins, the other using his foot to hook and pull the cart along, he presented an absurd spectacle that continuously drew laughter from the surrounding crowd.

The captain also sneered, as if watching a clown’s performance.

Su Yang frowned, ready to step forward and help.

At that moment, a little boy squeezed out from the crowd. It was the same boy who had earlier shined Wang Feng’s shoes.

With adept hands and feet, the boy quickly gathered the coins from the ground and put them back in the elderly man’s bowl: ”Old grandpa, let me help you up!”

”Thank you, thank you...” the elderly man kept apologizing, tears welling up in his murky eyes.

Su Yang was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the little boy to come to the old man’s aid. After all, the boy himself was quite afraid of those enforcers. But he had come back to help without hesitation. Wasn’t he afraid of those enforcers?

Just as the boy had picked up half of the items, Fatty, the captain, came over, grabbed the boy’s arm, and lifted him up.

”You little rascal, it’s you again!” Fatty, the captain, said angrily, ”These past few days, the shops around have complained to me several times, saying you’re always lurking around here, pestering tourists to shine their shoes. I’ve come a few times and haven’t caught you; you’re quite slippery, eh? But you won’t escape today!”

The little boy, struggling in the grip of Fatty, the captain, shouted loudly, ”I’m not running; I’m not doing anything wrong; I just shine shoes near the corner there, that’s not even on Huaqing Street. Isn’t it allowed to shine shoes outside? Besides, there’s no rule in Huaqing Street that says you can’t shine shoes here!”

”You still want to argue with me?” Fatty, the captain, said coldly, ”I’m in charge of Huaqing Street, whether it’s the entrance or the end, it’s my territory. If I say you can’t shine shoes here, then don’t even think about it!”

”Leader, we’re just trying to make ends meet. We wouldn’t dare disrupt the appearance of Huaqing Street...” the old man on the ground, clutching the trouser leg of Fatty, the captain, pleaded with a trembling voice: ”Let him go, he’s just a child. His limbs are still tender, you might hurt him like this...”

”Get out of the way!” Fatty, the team leader, kicked the old man aside and cursed furiously, ”I don’t care whether you can eat or not, but not here on Huaqing Street. Do you realize how upscale this place is? Your filthy begging brings down the whole area’s class. If you affect the business here on Huaqing Street, even if you get injured, no amount of your deaths could compensate for the loss!”

”Today, I must teach you a lesson, otherwise you’ll never take me seriously!”

As Fatty spoke, he simply threw the little boy to the ground and aimed a kick at the boy’s head.

The little boy was so scared that he covered his head, and the old man let out a cry of alarm. If that kick landed, how could the little boy withstand it?

But at that critical moment, someone appeared in front of the little boy and blocked Fatty’s kick.

”Who?” Fatty’s eyes bulged in shock as he stared at the young man standing before him. He had been throwing his weight around here for many years now, but no one had ever dared to confront him like this!

The one who stopped Fatty was none other than Su Yang. Faced with such a situation, he certainly couldn’t stand by idly.

”You fucking dare to stop me!” Fatty was enraged, pointing at Su Yang and cursing, ”Who the fuck are you? Do you have any idea who I am?”

Su Yang completely ignored Fatty, bending over to help the little boy and the old man up, and said gently, ”Are you alright?”

The little boy was pale with fear, but his expression remained defiant. Seeing Su Yang, he smiled and said, ”Big brother, I remember you, thank you!”

”Young man, you really are a good person, good deeds bring good karma...” the old man said with a trembling voice, tears streaming down his face.

Meanwhile, Fatty stared at Su Yang’s disregard for him, growing even angrier: ”Are you fucking deaf? Didn’t you hear me asking you a question?”

Wang Feng, who was taken aback by Su Yang, hurried over, blocking Fatty and said apologetically with a smile, ”Captain Leu, Captain Leu, I’m really sorry, this is a friend of mine. He’s here from out of town to look into investing in our area. If there’s been any offense, please forgive us!”

”Who are you?” Fatty frowned.

”My name is Wang Feng, I work for Boss Hu’s company, and I’m on very good terms with Brother Qi.” Wang Feng took out a pack of cigarettes and offered them with a smile, ”Brother Qi has mentioned several times how magnanimous you are in your dealings, Captain Leu.”

Fatty’s face lit up with pride as he accepted a cigarette and took a drag, ”Oh, you’re talking about Fifth Brother? You’re close with him, huh?”

”Yes, I’ve had nearly twenty years of friendship with Brother Qi,” Wang Feng said with a smile.

”Well, if that’s the case, then we’re all family here.” Fatty stubbed out his cigarette, glancing at Su Yang with a cold voice, ”What’s the deal with your friend here? What, friends of Fifth Brother think they can bully their way over me?”

”No, that’s not it at all!” Wang Feng quickly explained, ”Captain Leu, you’re misunderstanding. It’s just that young people, they’re so impulsive...”

Continuing in a hushed tone, Wang Feng leaned in closer to Fatty, ”This one, he’s a young master from a distinguished family in the south with a hot temper, part of the second-generation elite...”

”What’s that supposed to mean?” Fatty immediately frowned and said, ”You think we of the Seven Great Families would be afraid of some young masters from out of town? Do you think we’re that easy to push around?”
