A young man with a buzz cut, wearing a black tank top and a tattoo of a venomous snake on his body, looked like the leader of this group.
He held a baseball bat in his right hand, tapping it against his left palm.
He looked at Hua Qiang and asked, "Are you Hua Qiang? If you don't want to get beaten too badly here, come with us!"
Hua Qiang looked at the more than ten people, each with fierce expressions and auras of bloodlust.
They were the kind of thugs who engaged in street brawls, and had likely committed murder.
These people had strong Blood Qi, but they were far from being Martial Artists.
To be stopped by such people was, to Hua Qiang, a joke.
"I am Hua Qiang. Who are you? Who sent you to cause trouble for me?"
Being targeted without knowing who was behind it made Hua Qiang very unhappy!
"Who are we?"
"Hahaha!"
"You don't even know our famous Green Snake Gang? Looks like this fatty is just a bookworm!"
The group burst into arrogant laughter.
A cross-eyed man with a face like a sour jujube, dressed in black, said with his neck craned, "This is our Snake Brother, our boss!"
"Fatty, now that you're in Snake Brother's hands, just cooperate obediently, and you'll suffer less."
"Otherwise, you might not have many bones left intact!"
A sly smile appeared on Hua Qiang's face, and he readily said, "Alright! Let's settle this in the alley ahead!"
With that, he started walking forward.
He was in a hurry and didn't want to waste time with these people. Once they got ahead, he would deal with them directly.
This was the school entrance, and fighting here would not look good.
"What are you people doing? What do you want from Brother Qiang?"
"You want to bully my Brother Qiang, did you even ask me?"
Just then, Wang Baoyuan's voice came from behind.
He was holding a rock he had found somewhere, and rushed towards them, panting.
Many students from the school saw the group of thugs blocking Hua Qiang, and they all stood at a distance watching the spectacle. No one stepped forward, nor did anyone go to the teaching building to find a teacher or report the matter to the authorities.
The old man in the guardhouse hid inside, too scared to come out.
Hua Qiang saw that Wang Baoyuan dared to step forward for him in such a situation, and he was touched, his approval of this brother growing even stronger.
He pulled Wang Baoyuan aside and said, "Brother Bao, you don't need to get involved in this. I can handle these people."
"Brother Qiang, don't lie to me!"
"I know exactly what you're capable of!"
"These are street thugs, living their lives fighting all day. How can you be their match?"
"Don't try to persuade me. Fatty is telling you, I'm in this fight with you."
"Even if we get beaten, we'll do it together. I can even take some of the hits for you."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his close friend, Hua Qiang didn't insist further. He would let Wang Baoyuan see his strength later.
Snake Skin felt a trace of admiration for Fatty Wang.
This person was genuine, the kind of person worth befriending.
However, if he dared to provoke and oppose him, then he would deal with him as well!
Hua Qiang led the way towards the alley ahead, with Wang Baoyuan following closely behind, whispering in Hua Qiang's ear, "Later, let's see if we can find something useful, so we can fight back!"
Hua Qiang patted Wang Baoyuan's shoulder, "Brother Bao, in this life, we are brothers. I'll protect you from now on!"
Wang Baoyuan knew the weight of Hua Qiang's words and rolled his eyes at him.
"Why are you being sentimental in this situation? Hurry up and think of a plan. There are more than ten of them, we definitely can't win a fight."
"Let's see if we can escape, or if we can try to take fewer hits."
"I hope we can still move normally after today!"
This guy was really going all out, willing to risk his life for a friend, or rather, his legs for his brother!
He had already prepared himself for the possibility of his legs being broken.
Wu Tianli, with a group of followers, stood in a corner of the campus, watching Hua Qiang and Wang Baoyuan being led away by the group he had hired, a triumphant smile on his face.
This was the consequence for daring to offend the woman he desired.
Ma Xiaoli rushed into the classroom and said to Murong Qingya, who was packing up her desk to go home:
"Qingya, good news! That fatty is about to get beaten. We can finally get some revenge."
"How dare he offend my Qingya! Let him taste a price he can't afford!"
Murong Qingya's feelings were complicated at the moment. She both wanted Hua Qiang to be taught a lesson and didn't want him to get hurt too badly.
She didn't understand why she had such conflicting emotions.
At Class 1, Grade 3, Class 1 of High School.
Ye Bingxue had already tidied up her desk.
She had asked the teacher for leave today and wouldn't be attending evening self-study.
This was because she was going to the Martial Arts Association to get her Martial Artist certification.
She had arranged with Hua Qiang that he would pick her up later, and they would go together.
"Bingxue, why are you leaving so early today? Did something happen?"
Mo Yanran walked over, looking at Ye Bingxue, and asked.
"Class monitor, I have something to take care of at home today, so I'm leaving early."
"Oh! If you need any help, just ask. We're friends, no need to be polite!"
Ye Bingxue looked at Mo Yanran, feeling a bit strange.
Although they were in the same class, they didn't interact much usually.
Because Mo Yanran came from a good family, and there was a big gap between them, they were usually just nodding acquaintances.
The other party's sudden warmth made her feel a bit unsettled and she immediately became vigilant.
She didn't believe that pies would fall from the sky, especially not right onto her head.
If someone is inexplicably warm towards you, they must want something, or have some ulterior motive!
About 20 meters in front of the gate of High School No. 8, there was a small alley.
It was also a place many students frequently passed by on their way to and from school.
Today, due to special circumstances, no students were coming this way.
At this moment, Snake Skin and his group were lying on the ground, all with broken arms and legs.
They endured the pain in their bodies but didn't dare to make a sound.
It was because they were terrified by Hua Qiang.
As soon as they entered the alley, before they could even start their rehearsed lines, this Fatty Wang, acting completely out of the ordinary, had directly attacked.
His powerful aura, his superb skills, and his thunderous assault, with just a few punches and kicks, he had taken them all down.
Wang Baoyuan's mouth was still agape, and the stones he had been holding were long forgotten and thrown away.
He had never known his good friend was such a capable fighter, despite knowing him for so long.
Hua Qiang placed a foot on Snake Skin's head and applied a little pressure. Snake Skin felt his skull making cracking sounds.
He felt his skull might have fractured.
If the other party applied just a bit more force, his head would definitely be crushed.
"Big brother, big brother, please go easy, don't step, don't step anymore, my head will really explode if you keep stepping!"
Filled with extreme fear, he begged incessantly.
"Speak, who sent you to cause trouble for me?"
"It was Young Master Wu, pfft! It was that beast Wu Tianli. He gave me 3,000 yuan at noon and told us to teach you a lesson."
"What?" Hua Qiang was instantly enraged.
"Damn it, I'm only worth 3,000 yuan?"
He looked at Snake Skin and said fiercely, "Do you want to live or die?"
"Big brother, I want to live!"
"You want to live? Very good! Today, you must find Wu Tianli, then cripple his four limbs, and after that, send me a photo!"
"Otherwise, you won't see the sun tomorrow!"
After saying this, Hua Qiang took out his Martial Artist Medal and flashed it in front of Snake Skin.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion erupted in Snake Skin's mind, scaring him into passing out.
