My Friend—Is It Your Place to Teach Him a Lesson?

Amid laughter and chatter, time passed quickly.

The music throbbed through the bar, the atmosphere was blazing, and everyone gradually loosened up.

At that moment, Xu Jie, Bai Wei, and Yu Hao were playing Truth or Dare.

The three of them used palms-up and palms-down to decide!

Several rounds had already passed, with wins and losses on both sides. They had shared some amusing but harmless truths.

Those unwilling to answer chose a dare instead.

The funniest round was when Yu Hao made Bai Wei flirt with a girl.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Wei actually succeeded!

The unlucky beauty she had chosen was flirted into a bright blush, drawing a burst of helpless laughter from everyone.

This time, it was Yu Hao's turn.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei laughed delightedly.

Then Xu Jie came up with a rotten idea.

The question made Yu Hao's face flush as red as pig liver.

Wang Teng smiled and shook his head. He had not joined in—he had too many secrets, and a game like this could easily get out of hand.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei egged Yu Hao on from the side, urging him to hurry up and answer.

Wang Teng got up and went to the restroom.

Eating Star Beast Meat at night helped speed up metabolism and flush impurities from the body.

Wang Teng headed back toward Xu Jie and the others.

But as soon as he got close, he found them surrounded by several people. Xu Jie and Yu Hao appeared to be arguing with the group.

That group looked like hoodlums, wearing earrings and tattoos, with expressions that screamed, "I'm not someone to mess with."

Wang Teng could not help frowning.

Just then, one of them shoved Xu Jie and cursed, "Damn it, this little girl dirtied my clothes, and you think one apology is enough to settle this?"

"Do you know how much these clothes cost?"

"Can you even afford to pay for them?"

"A bunch of little brats, trying to act like adults by coming to a bar."

The people beside him burst into laughter, mockery written all over their faces.

Yu Hao and the others had never suffered this kind of humiliation.

As Rich Second Generation heirs, they had been spoiled from childhood. Wherever they went, people fawned over them.

If it had been someone of higher status than them, enduring a little grievance would have been one thing. But these people were clearly insignificant lackeys who had crawled out of some backwater corner.

If they were really bullied by people like this, they would become the laughingstock of other Rich Second Generation circles.

After being shoved, Xu Jie's expression darkened even further.

But although he usually acted carefree, as if heaven was first and he was second, he was not some brainless fool.

The other side clearly outnumbered them, and there were girls among them.

If a conflict broke out, they would definitely be the ones at a disadvantage.

Besides, this was the Martial Arts Era. Some people looked utterly ordinary, but what if one of them was an expert?

Wouldn't they be dead as a doornail?

So he quietly took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "Gentlemen, even if we were at fault for dirtying your clothes, we can pay compensation."

"You're pressing us so relentlessly. Do you really want to make this impossible to resolve?"

"Everyone here saw exactly what happened. Even if we called the police to mediate, we would be the reasonable side."

"Fuck, you want to call the police? Are you threatening me?"

The one whose clothes had been dirtied was a young man in his twenties. He had a hooked nose and a sinister face, the very image of a hardened rogue. Thinking Xu Jie was threatening him, he immediately began cursing.

"Xu Jie, why waste words with him? This bastard is clearly looking for trouble. Bai Wei didn't bump into him at all—he deliberately walked over when she stood up and made her crash into him," Yu Hao said angrily.

"Kid, don't make wild accusations without evidence," the Sinister Youth sneered.

"You know perfectly well whether that's what happened." Yu Hao stepped forward and pointed at him.

The Sinister Youth looked impatient. With a cold snort, he said, "Cut the fucking crap. Let this little chick drink a few glasses with us, and we'll call it even. Otherwise... heh heh."

"What did you say? Say that again. Believe it or not, I'll kill you?" Yu Hao exploded at once.

These people wanted Bai Wei to drink with them. There was no need to think about what they had in mind.

That truly infuriated him.

Xu Jie immediately cursed inwardly, Damn it!

The other side had clearly set a trap for them. The moment Yu Hao blew up, the matter became impossible to reconcile.

"Yu Hao, stop talking!" Bai Wei had been pulling Yu Hao the whole time, but the moment she let her guard down, he broke free.

She could clearly feel the atmosphere tighten.

"You little bastard, you want to kill me? I'll kill you first today."

The Sinister Youth grinned viciously, stepped forward, and clawed at Yu Hao's throat with both hands like eagle talons.

He was truly ruthless, striking with a vicious move right from the start.

"Martial Apprentice!"

Someone cried out in alarm.

Yu Hao's expression changed abruptly. First, he had not expected the other party to attack without warning. Second, he had not expected him to be a Martial Apprentice.

Caught off guard, he did not have the courage to meet the attack head-on and could only dodge to the side.

Fortunately, Yu Hao had recently been forced by his father to train in martial arts and was now a Low-level Martial Disciple. Otherwise, if he had been an ordinary person—

Forget dodging. He would probably have been frozen in place by the other man's savage aura.

The bar immediately descended into chaos.

Xu Jie hurriedly pulled Bai Wei away. Neither of them practiced martial arts, so they could not help at all right now.

Seeing that Yu Hao had actually dodged, the Sinister Youth was slightly surprised, but he did not care. He twisted his body and swept a roundhouse kick at Yu Hao.

Yu Hao hurriedly grabbed a chair beside him and used it to block the attack.

Bang!

The metal chair was kicked bent by the Sinister Youth's leg.

Yu Hao was also flung away by the tremendous force and crashed heavily to the floor.

Tables and chairs were knocked sprawling in every direction.

Bottles shattered across the floor with a clatter, and the entire bar instantly became a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Men and women screamed as they fled to the side.

Yet many did not leave. Instead, they watched the spectacle from a distance.

"Cough, cough!" Yu Hao clutched his chest and coughed violently, feeling as though his ribs had broken.

He knew he had run into a hard opponent this time!

He had only just become a Martial Apprentice. From the force behind the other man's strike, although he was also within the Low-level Martial Disciple range, he was nearly an Intermediate Martial Disciple.

The Sinister Youth lowered his leg and slowly walked toward Yu Hao.

"Kid, weren't you acting pretty arrogant just now? You wanted to kill me? Your strength isn't enough."

Step by step, the Sinister Youth forced Yu Hao into a corner. Looking down at him from above, he mocked him.

"If you dare touch me, my dad won't let you off." Yu Hao gritted his teeth, his face pale.

"Little friend, if you can't win, you call for Daddy? Haven't even weaned yet?" the Sinister Youth sneered.

"You!"

Yu Hao's entire face burned crimson with shame.

Xu Jie naturally could not stand by and watch his friend be humiliated. He stepped forward and said, "We'll admit defeat today. Name your price, and we'll compensate you."

The Sinister Youth wagged a finger, clicking his tongue.

His face was filled with disdain!

"Little brat, I'll teach you a lesson today. If you don't have the ability, don't stick your neck out." The Sinister Youth raised his right foot and viciously kicked toward Yu Hao's head.

Some people could not bear to watch and closed their eyes.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei's expressions changed dramatically.

If that kick landed, Yu Hao would definitely be seriously injured.

And it was aimed at his head. If anything went wrong, his life would be ruined.

They had never imagined the Sinister Youth would be so ruthless.

Bang!

A heavy impact rang out.

Yet Yu Hao remained where he was, completely unharmed, while the Sinister Youth was sent flying and slammed heavily into the wall.

"Pfft!" He crashed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Whether it was Xu Jie and Bai Wei or the other patrons in the bar, everyone was stunned by the sudden scene.

They all stared blankly at Wang Teng, who stood in front of Yu Hao.

One hand in his pocket, he spat out the cigarette in his mouth and said flatly, "Since when was it your turn to teach my friend a lesson?"

The moment he finished speaking, his heart suddenly skipped a beat!

As the Sinister Youth hit the ground, several Attribute Bubbles fell out along with him.

Attributes can drop like this too?

Wang Teng suppressed the doubts in his heart. With so many people around, he did not step forward.

"You, you!"

Yu Hao finally came back to his senses. His face was full of shock, and he stammered, unable to say anything.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei also stared blankly at Wang Teng, as though they were meeting him for the first time.

"Why are you still lying there? Is the floor cool?" Wang Teng laughed and scolded.

"Big Brother, from now on, you're my real big brother! You hid it from us so well!" Xu Jie cried out excitedly.

Bai Wei jogged over. Looking at Wang Teng, a strange light flickered in her eyes.

"Enough, why are you yelling? When did I ever hide anything from you? You just never asked," Wang Teng said helplessly.

"Bastard, you dare hit me? Get him! Kill this little bastard!"

The Sinister Youth climbed to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and shouted resentfully at the people who had come with him.

"B-Big Brother, this kid is too strong. We're no match for him!" one person said, looking at Wang Teng fearfully.

They had not even seen how Wang Teng moved before the Sinister Youth, who was nearly as strong as an Intermediate Martial Disciple, had been sent flying. What use could they, people who were not Martial Apprentices, possibly be?

"Useless trash!" The Sinister Youth kicked the man angrily, then pointed at Wang Teng. "Kid, if you've got guts, tell me your name. Wait until I call some people over."

At that moment, Wang Teng suddenly walked toward him, frightening the Sinister Youth into stumbling back several steps.

Wang Teng casually brushed against those Attribute Bubbles and picked them up.

Strength*15

Speed*12

That much?

Wang Teng was a little surprised. This was the most that had ever dropped from a single person at once.

Defeat monsters, and attributes drop!

Could this be the proper way to use this cheat?

He only considered it briefly before putting the matter aside. The timing was obviously wrong; this was not the time to dwell on it.

Wang Teng curled his lips and said, "What are you afraid of? My name is Li Rongcheng. I'll give you half an hour to call your people. After that, don't blame me for not waiting."

"Fine, just you wait." The Sinister Youth left Rose Bar in a sorry state with his people.

Once they were gone, Bai Wei could not help laughing.

"Brother Wang Teng, you're too wicked. You actually made Li Rongcheng take the blame. If he finds out, he'll hate you to death!"

An imperceptible cold glint flashed through Wang Teng's eyes. There was more than a minor grudge between him and Li Rongcheng. In his previous life, the two had not had any real enmity, but after the Wang Family fell into decline, Li Rongcheng had shown no intention of sparing him.

"Let's go home!" Wang Teng had lost interest. He turned and walked toward the exit.

"Aren't we waiting for them to come back?" Yu Hao asked unwillingly.

Wang Teng smacked him on the head. "Have you gone stupid from training? Who knows how many people they'll bring back? What if there are Advanced Martial Apprentices? Or even martial warriors? Are we supposed to stay here like idiots and wait to die?"

"Exactly. You're too impulsive. If it hadn't been for Brother Wang Teng this time, you would have suffered badly," Xu Jie could not help lecturing him as well.

"Come on, come on. If they want to find someone, they can go find Li Rongcheng. I'm not Li Rongcheng."

Wang Teng and the others left the bar, got into their car, and vanished into the night in the blink of an eye. Whether that group could find him would probably depend on luck.

And after finding him, whether it would be good luck or bad luck? That was hard to say...

I should explain: I wrote over two thousand words last night, then deleted them. That's all.

I finalized the contract today and sent it out. It will probably be approved next week.
