Juxia City was a major coastal city in eastern China.
Its economy was developed, and its population was large.
In a dimly lit alley on the outskirts of Juxia City,
a short-haired girl with fair skin
and looks that easily scored above an eight was cowering in a corner of the alley.
She held her head in both hands,
her entire body trembling as she looked at the drunken thugs in front of her.
"Chuang Ye really is something else. That damn Shen Sheng'an got his legs smashed into a comminuted fracture by Brother Long, and Chuang Ye took the fall for him. He was out in just one month. Fucking impressive."
A sleazy-looking man
with a head full of yellow hair
and reeking of alcohol
was leering up and down at the girl.
"That's right, we've got people backing us. If Shen Sheng'an's business hadn't been exposed by the media this time, I would've been out in three days at most."
Liu Chuang's face was flushed from the alcohol, and he began bragging as well.
Today was the day he had been released from detention.
A few "brothers" had come on Brother Long's behalf to welcome him back.
They had gathered together and drunk quite a lot.
When they came into this alley to take a leak, they happened to run into a beautiful girl passing by.
So they blocked her here.
"Brother B, this girl looks more and more tempting the longer I look at her. What do you say, should we just take her right here?"
Huang Mao's gaze roamed wantonly over the girl's body. He licked the corner of his mouth, his face full of lecherous intent.
"With Chuang Ye here, we can all have our way with her. Then we'll definitely get out together with Chuang Ye afterward."
Liu Chuang frowned.
Then he threw an arm around Huang Mao's shoulders and laughed heartily.
"Master Huang, that wouldn't be right. The things we usually do are underworld business. As the saying goes, even thieves have rules. If you do that to this girl, the nature of it will be different."
After hearing that,
Huang Mao immediately shoved Liu Chuang's arm away impatiently.
At the same time, he sneered.
"What fucking rules? It's not like I haven't done this shit before. Stop talking this useless crap to me."
Seeing Huang Mao eager to make a move, anger rose on Liu Chuang's face.
"No! I absolutely won't do this!"
Although Liu Chuang had been running around in society ever since graduating from high school,
he still had a bottom line.
Underworld matters should be settled by underworld means.
What kind of man bullied a little girl for no reason?
"Chuang Ye, I think Huang Mao's suggestion is pretty good. You take the fall for me, Brother B, today too? At worst, we'll let you go first."
Brother B was a minor leader among the group.
Looking at the girl's exquisite face and trembling body,
with the alcohol going to his head,
a blaze of desire rose in his heart.
"Brother B, we can't fucking do this!"
Hearing Brother B's order, Liu Chuang began to panic. He stepped in front of the girl.
"If Brother B wants women, plenty of girls would line up for you. Let this one go today."
Liu Chuang was not afraid of taking the fall.
Just as Huang Mao had said,
no matter what bad things he had done over the years,
or what crimes he had taken the blame for,
he had never received severe punishment.
It was precisely because of this that he had gone deeper and deeper down this dark path.
Until now, his heart was lost in confusion, and he was close to losing himself.
But he still could not bear to watch such a young and beautiful woman be ruined by them.
"Fuck, Liu Chuang! We call you Chuang Ye, and you really think that means you've got status? You dare disrespect me?"
Brother B stepped forward and slapped Liu Chuang across the face.
"If the bosses hadn't known you could be used to take the fall and brought you here from your hometown, you wouldn't be worth shit in Juxia City, understand?"
Liu Chuang gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with fury.
It was as if flames were about to burst from them.
"Fuck, stop spouting bullshit at me! If you want to touch this girl, you'll have to get past me, Liu Chuang, first!"
Fueled by alcohol, Liu Chuang hardened his resolve and roared.
Then,
the two sides stood on opposite sides of the alley,
confronting each other.
The tension was palpable!
Just then,
a handsome, tall young man suddenly appeared in their sight.
The young man's clothing was clearly exquisite.
A faint smile hung at the corner of his lips.
He looked lazy and casual.
He walked straight up to the girl.
"Ding!" "Silver Treasure Chest opened. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the skill: Armament Haki." "Ding!" "Because this is the first time the Host has opened a Silver Treasure Chest, congratulations on receiving 200 points to All Attributes. Congratulations on receiving the item: Master-Servant Contract ×3."
