Gangster's Revenge

A smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips. Then, carrying the plastic bag, he turned and walked into the restroom.

Xiao Si followed him to the restroom door but didn't go in. He still hadn't realized that Chen Mo knew he was being followed and had recognized him. Xiao Si thought there was nothing to worry about with just a student. He just needed to follow quietly. Besides, he was just a small-time hoodlum who had been in the streets for a while, not a trained scout or special forces soldier.

He wouldn't go into the restroom. This market's public restroom had only one exit, so there was no need to worry about Chen Mo disappearing. He leaned against a wall not far from the restroom and took out a cigarette to smoke. The wind blew, ruffling Xiao Si's unruly yellow hair, instantly revealing his image as a petty gangster. All the old men and women passing by began to detour, muttering to themselves, "Young people these days!"

Xiao Si was completely unaware of the passersby's murmurs. His only task now was to keep an eye on Chen Mo.

Inside the restroom, through the stall partitions, he put all the purchased items into his Storage Bag. The smell in the public restroom was truly unpleasant, so after storing his things, he came out directly. Then, pretending to casually look around, he rejoined the flow of people and started browsing again, but his direction was towards the market exit.

Xiao Si kept following Chen Mo. After leaving the market, he maintained a distance behind him. After walking for a while, the surroundings became a demolition area with fewer pedestrians.

At this moment, a phone rang, and Xiao Si answered it.

"Xiao Si, where are you? I've brought people and we're already at the market entrance," Brother Hai shouted on the phone.

"Brother Hai, take your people along the market exit, head east, turn left at the first small road, that street called Market Street. Once you're in, keep going straight. I'm following that brat right now, and he's still moving forward," Xiao Si said.

Since Xiao Si was some distance away from Chen Mo, about dozens of meters, Chen Mo couldn't hear his voice. However, he did observe Xiao Si's action of answering the phone and chuckled inwardly. It seemed the people he called were about to arrive. To consider these people, Chen Mo directly turned onto a Dirt Road, a transport channel left by the demolition, which was no longer used by vehicles. Both sides of the road were piled with construction debris, and there wasn't a soul around.

Xiao Si also turned in, and at a glance, he saw Chen Mo standing in the middle of the road, not looking back, nor doing anything else, just standing there. Seeing Chen Mo seemingly looking at something, even though the surroundings were full of construction debris and nothing else. But this was fine. If he wasn't going to move, he'd wait here. Once Brother Hai arrived, Chen Mo would surely get more than he could handle.

In less than ten minutes, two vans stopped at the intersection, and Brother Hai got out with a group of over a dozen people.

After Brother Hai arrived, Chen Mo already knew they were here. So, he directly took out his phone, turned on the camera function, and placed it on a nearby pile of cement rubble, making a simple cover. The phone's camera could clearly see the surrounding area.

Xiao Si had been waiting at the intersection. Seeing Brother Hai arrive, he happily shook his arm and ran to Brother Hai's side, saying, "Brother Hai, you're finally here. That brat is right there." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Chen Mo's back.

Brother Hai nodded. He would never forget this brat's back. It was this guy who had led the charge that day, taking down his whole group and making him lose face in front of his subordinates.

"Follow me!" Brother Hai waved his hand, leading more than a dozen subordinates towards Chen Mo.

"Kid, didn't expect to run into you here today!" Brother Hai shouted when he was a few meters behind Chen Mo.

Chen Mo slowly turned around, nodded at Brother Hai, and said with a hint of amusement, "I've been waiting for a while. I figured it would be you guys. You really have a bad memory. It seems the lesson I taught you last time was too small, and you've forgotten."

"MMP, brat, stop your damn whining. If you don't want to get beaten, then get on your knees and kowtow to Brother Hai. Maybe Brother Hai will have a moment of soft-heartedness and let you go!" A subordinate behind Brother Hai said with a laugh. However, seeing the cunning look in his eyes, it was clear that if Chen Mo did as he said, the outcome wouldn't be what he described.

Brother Hai, on the other hand, clapped his hands with a smile. A little prelude before seeking revenge could be enjoyable. He just liked seeing people kneel and beg under his threats; it was absolutely exhilarating.

"You're quite calm, little punk. Did you ever imagine this would be the outcome today?" Brother Hai said with a rather imposing air.

"Heh!" Chen Mo sneered. It seemed these gangsters were determined to teach him a lesson today. But wasn't he also looking to test his Strength? He was already a Qi Refining Layer One Cultivator. His strength, agility, and other attributes had improved significantly. Although he hadn't learned any new techniques or combat skills, he just wanted to see what level he had reached. This was a perfect opportunity to experiment. Such good sparring partners were arriving just in time. He felt his body had improved greatly, but he hadn't tested the power of his fists, his body's speed, or his Reaction, nor did he have a place to test them. Now was perfect for practical testing! The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards. Looking at these thugs in front of him, they were truly thoughtful. They delivered themselves for him to test when he wanted to test. Heh heh!

"Idiot! The brat won't kneel, huh? Brothers, go get him!" Brother Hai felt a surge of annoyance seeing the expression on Chen Mo's face. He hadn't expected this brat wouldn't be scared stiff and soil himself. Brother Hai actually looked at him with a bit more respect, but that wouldn't make him let Chen Mo off the hook. If he didn't teach this brat a lesson, did he really think gangsters were easy to bully?

More than a dozen thugs directly swung the Steel Pipes and wooden clubs in their hands and charged forward, swinging them at Chen Mo. They had experience fighting. They knew how to brawl in China without any problems. Even if they injured someone badly, they had powerful backing, as long as they didn't kill anyone. Moreover, they were all teenagers, around fifteen or twenty years old, the age when it was hardest to hold back. They were impulsive. So, after hearing Brother Hai's command, they swarmed towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took a few steps back, dodging several clubs and steel pipes, then casually grabbed a steel pipe that had brushed past his body. All the speeds and trajectories of these people swinging clubs at him were visible in his eyes. He felt they were really slow, allowing him to dodge calmly and counterattack at any time. From this, he could understand that his Strength had improved tremendously, and these street gangsters were no longer a match for him.

He swung the steel pipe in his hand at a young man's arm. This guy had just swung a wooden club at his head. If he had been hit, his head would have been split open. So, he decided to deal with this life-disregarding youth first, to make him remember the pain.

"Crack!" With a sound, the young man's arm bent at an unbelievable angle. Bone fragments mixed with blood and flesh were exposed. Only then did he feel the pain, howling as he clutched his broken arm.

The offensive of everyone besieging Chen Mo suddenly paused. They were all shocked by the ruthlessness of Chen Mo's attack. They weren't unaccustomed to broken bones, nor had they never broken someone's bones before, but such a severe injury was definitely the first time they had seen.
