Villain Young Master Doesn't Want to Fall in Love with the Cute Domineering Female Lead Chapter 6
And from their conversation just now, there had been no sense of distance at all. It was as if the young master had been chatting with the two of them as friends.
"But speaking of which, was the young master's physical fitness always this absurd?"
One of the bodyguards suddenly realized something was off and pointed at where Wu Liang had disappeared.
Judging by the way the young master had cleared that high wall one-handed just now, even he, a bodyguard, would have found it difficult to do.
After all, the wall the young master had casually vaulted over had to have been close to three meters tall...
"I should've taken the car. Damn it."
Wu Liang stopped and checked his watch. There were less than five minutes left.
At this rate, even making it to the academy right on time would be difficult.
"No choice. I'll take the backstreets and cut through."
Wu Liang glanced at the dim alley beside him. Thankfully, he had looked over every route to the academy yesterday.
He had done it just in case something like this happened. Who knew it would come in handy so soon? I really am a fucking genius.
"But my physical condition really is terrifying... I've been sprinting for so long, yet I'm barely tired..."
Wu Liang bounced twice, feeling how light his body was and unable to hide his surprise.
If he remembered correctly, his physical condition hadn't actually been that great...
'Deep in the Alley'
No matter how glamorous a city was, it still had filthy corners like this.
The dark, damp alley felt somewhat eerie, with stray cats and dogs occasionally darting past.
An overturned trash can gave off waves of stench, while unknown liquid dripped onto the sticky ground.
Even homeless people looked down on and despised alleys like this, let alone ordinary people.
Thud
It was the dull sound of a fist striking flesh, exceptionally loud in the gloomy alley.
Soon afterward, curses and the sounds of shoving gradually rose through the alley.
"You little brat really don't know what's good for you. We're just asking you for a little spending money, aren't we?"
"Wearing a Huihuangxing Academy uniform, you must be some rich young master, right?"
A burly man with tattoos across his face grabbed the boy in front of him by the collar and spoke with dissatisfaction.
A young master from Huihuangxing Academy couldn't even come up with a few thousand yuan? What a joke.
"You... pieces of trash..."
The boy glared fiercely at the thugs before him. He hadn't expected to run into something like this right after transferring schools.
If he had known this would happen in this alley, he never would have come this way.
Leaving a bad impression on the teachers and students on his first day of school would be terrible.
"Oh? The young master's angry now? Then go ahead and show me how angry you are."
The burly man laughed as he looked at the young man's face.
Then his fist slammed viciously into the boy's abdomen.
"Urgh..."
The boy had been completely unable to anticipate the man suddenly attacking.
A piercing pain immediately shot through his stomach.
He clutched his abdomen and dropped to his knees, trembling violently. After taking that solid punch, he could barely stand again.
"Hah? That's all it took? Looks like our young master isn't much after all."
The burly man mocked the boy, who was unable to get back up, while the surrounding thugs laughed in agreement.
But just as the man was about to step forward and give him a few more kicks, an unwelcome voice suddenly rang out behind them.
"You guys having a party here? Mind if I join?"
Chapter 9: The Young Master Was Very "Gentle"
"You guys having a party here? Mind if I join?"
The suddenly inserted male voice made the burly man and the surrounding thugs turn around.
A young man in a Huihuangxing Academy uniform was crouching atop a stone bollard behind them, watching with great interest.
"Oh? Our luck is damn good today. Another young master from Huihuangxing Academy showed up."
"What, trying to play the hero? You can pay instead if you want. I'm not picky."
The burly man pulled a small knife from his pocket and casually played with it in his hand.
Another little lamb had delivered himself right to their doorstep. He couldn't let this meat slip away.
The burly man signaled to his underlings, and the thugs immediately moved behind the newcomer, cutting off his escape route.
"Hey! Run while you can! They're thugs!"
The boy clutched his stomach and shouted in pain. He couldn't let this person suffer the same fate as him.
The other person was innocent. He couldn't be dragged into this because of him.
"Heh, you heard the kid. We're a bunch of thugs."
"You're a smart guy. You should understand what that means. I don't want to make a big scene either."
Ignoring the boy behind him, the burly man focused on the sturdily built young man before him.
The guy looked to be over six feet tall and seemed like he had some muscle.
But there were five of them. Surely this guy wouldn't dare try anything funny.
Besides, he was just a student. The moment he saw the knife in his hand, he was probably scared half to death already.
"Mm-hm, I understand. You just want money. You definitely won't hurt us, so I'll give it to you."
Wu Liang smiled brightly at the burly man, his peripheral vision sweeping over the two people behind him.
What rotten luck. He had finally decided to take a shortcut, only to run into such a cliché scene.
But according to the usual romance novel plot, shouldn't the person being bullied by thugs in a situation like this be a beautiful girl? Why had it turned into some rough-looking dude for him?
He hadn't planned to meddle in something so thankless, but this alley only had one way out.
"Well, would you look at that. A reasonable one finally showed up. I'm not asking for much, young master. Just give us a few tens of thousands."
"After all, that's for two people. And you're a young master from Huihuangxing Academy, so a little money like that means nothing to you."
Seeing how agreeable Wu Liang was, the burly man grinned. At last, someone who knew what was good for him.
If this guy had resisted like that brat, dealing with such a sturdy young man would have been troublesome.
"Does anyone really still carry cash around these days? Seriously? Seriously?"
"You got VX? Here, I'll just scan your code."
Wu Liang put on a surprised expression, then pulled out his phone and opened WeChat.
If they wanted tens of thousands, then naturally they would scan a payment code. Who walked around carrying tens of thousands in cash for no reason?
"Hahaha, you're pretty damn funny. Fine, scan it."
The burly man hadn't expected Wu Liang to still be joking with them in this situation.
It seemed this young man wasn't one of those obedient little students at school. He had a bit of a delinquent streak himself.
With that thought, the burly man looked at Wu Liang with a trace of goodwill.
Wasn't he a school thug himself back in the day? Why should thugs make things difficult for other thugs? He would be a little more polite to him.
"I'm sorry... It's all because of me..."
The boy staggered to his feet from the ground, muttering with a face full of regret.
If only he had been a little more useful, if only he hadn't wasted time here, then this young man in front of him wouldn't have...
"Ahhh!"
Just as the boy was blaming himself, a miserable scream suddenly rang out ahead.
A heavy punch flew straight into the burly man's face.
Two shattered teeth were knocked flying in an instant, landing on the ground with blood on them.
"Did you really think I was going to give you money?"
Wu Liang withdrew his right fist with a smile, tossed the iPhone 11 he had snatched from the burly man onto the ground, and crushed its screen beneath his foot.
Wu Liang didn't know whether it was just his imagination, but he felt that his body was somewhat strange now.
Yet if someone asked him exactly what was strange, Wu Liang couldn't explain it for the moment.
If he had to sum it up, his body seemed... a little too strong now...
"You little bastard, you really don't know what's good for you. I just bought that iPhone 11! Just you wait, I'll—"
Covering his bleeding nose, the burly man snarled with a twisted expression.
Just as he was about to use the small knife in his hand to give this ignorant brat a few cuts—
He froze as he stared at his empty hands. That brat had just taken his phone, but where had his knife gone too?
"What? Looking for this?"
Wu Liang slowly raised his left hand. The burly man's knife lay in his palm.
As though mocking the man, Wu Liang gripped the knife and smoothly spun it through several flourishes.
"Fuck your mother! What are you idiots standing around for? Kill him!"
Veins bulged across the burly man's forehead as he shouted, his face flushed red.
If he got played by some brat who hadn't even grown all his hair yet, where would he put his face afterward?
Forget continuing to be a thug around here—he wouldn't even be able to hold his head up in front of his underlings.
"Beat him to death! Fuck, he actually dared mess with me. I'll show you what it means to—"
The figure flying toward him made the burly man swallow his unfinished curse.
The burly man was knocked straight to the ground by the incoming person, the two piling on top of each other like a human stack.
"Fuck, you useless piece of shit. You can't even beat a high school student?"
Looking at the unconscious underling on top of him, the burly man cursed furiously.
When he shoved the underling off and looked ahead again, all color instantly drained from his face.
Thud
A sweeping kick struck the thug in front of Wu Liang across the face like an iron whip, knocking him unconscious.
Wu Liang easily dodged another thug's stabbing dagger and grabbed the thug's wrist with one hand.
With a light twist, the dagger fell to the ground along with the thug's scream.
"With skills like that, you think you can rob people? Use your brain a little."
Wu Liang looked contemptuously at the screaming thug.
He kicked the man in the ass, sending him sprawling face-first onto the ground.
"But this body... really is absurdly strong..."
After swiftly taking care of the thugs, Wu Liang frowned and looked down at his hands.
In the game setting, Wu Liang often fought people, so his physical condition was indeed better than that of ordinary students, but it absolutely wasn't this exaggerated.
So what was going on now...?
