Ito Makoto let loose a long tirade.
He shouted every vicious, arrogant thing he could think of, as though he meant to repay every humiliation he had suffered tenfold.
But when he finished, the fear and pleas for mercy he expected never came.
An eerie silence settled over the entire square.
Then the crowd burst into laughter they could no longer hold back.
"Hahaha! What the hell is this kid talking about?"
"Did they beat him stupid? He thinks his great-grandfather's going to save him?"
"What do you think he'll do when he sees his great-grandfather now? Lose his mind on the spot?"
The livestream chat was laughing even harder.
[Clown of the year! No contest!]
[A frog at the bottom of a well with no idea how big the world is—that's this guy in a nutshell.]
[This is too funny. He's still bragging about how powerful his great-grandfather is, when the old man's scared out of his mind and has shit smeared all over his face.]
[The comedy from what he doesn't know is off the charts! This is an art form!]
[Please, take off his blindfold already! I want to see his face when his whole world falls apart!]
Hearing the laughter around him, Ito Makoto felt his heart sink.

Shouldn't they be on their knees begging for mercy?
"What are you laughing at?!"
"All of you are ignorant fools!" Ito Makoto roared, trying to sound fierce despite his fear. "You have no idea what a great man you're up against!"
"Hahaha!"
This time, Yue Xiaofei laughed too.
He laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Great?"
Yue Xiaofei stopped laughing and looked down at
