26: Chapter 27 Hero Saves the Beauty
"This has nothing to do with you, but since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I don't mind," Cheng Xiao said with a grim expression.
Last time, he had finally found a target, only for An Xin to ruin it. He had long wanted to teach An Xin a lesson, and now that An Xin had voluntarily walked right into his trap, he didn't mind.
"This has nothing to do with you; you should probably leave first!" He Chuli had initially regarded An Xin as her savior, but seeing so many burly men crowding around, she felt a bit afraid. She didn't want to implicate An Xin.
An Xin patted He Chuli's arm reassuringly, signaling her not to be afraid. Never mind that they were in public; even if they were in a secluded alley, An Xin wouldn't be afraid of Cheng Xiao and his men trying to attack him!
Based on the strength of Cheng Xiao and his group, they were truly no match for An Xin.
"Fine, fine, fine. At this point, you still want to play the hero, huh? Who on earth gave you such confidence?"
The burly men exchanged glances. Seeing that An Xin completely disregarded their threats, the anger in their hearts threatened to consume them.
Relying on their ability to coerce and intimidate, they had scared off countless people. Yet, this tactic, when used against An Xin, not only failed to intimidate him but instead turned them into a laughingstock!
"Damn it, why waste words with a guy like this? Since you want to play hero, I'll show you what I'm capable of!" The ringleader snorted disdainfully and threw a punch directly at An Xin's face.
He wanted to decisively subdue An Xin. Facing the sudden attack, An Xin turned his body, paused slightly with his other foot, and tripped the man, sending him sprawling onto the ground.
With a loud bang, Cheng Xiao and the others couldn't sit still anymore. They stood up abruptly, their eyes locked firmly on An Xin. As they swarmed toward him in unison, there was a sense of intimidation in the air.
"Good kid, it seems you really don't value your life!" Having walked the streets for so long, no one had ever dared to be this arrogant in front of them!
Now that their dignity had been blatantly challenged—and in front of a woman, no less—they naturally couldn't sit still.
"Didn't you say you wanted to deal with me? So why waste words here? Just show me what you've got." An Xin yawned lazily and beckoned to the men in front of him, as if teasing a puppy.
"Brothers, get him! Teach this kid a lesson!" Angry emotions surged at that moment like a raging sea, fiercely consuming them.
A dozen men charged at An Xin at the same time. Facing this onslaught, An Xin said quite nonchalantly, "Oh my! I'm so scared; you guys are just too amazing."
Although the words were like those of someone begging for mercy, coming from An Xin, they carried a mocking tone. After the system had reshaped his body, An Xin's physique had already undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
Based on the people present, they were truly no match for An Xin. As figures intertwined, Cheng Xiao and his men became entangled with An Xin. An Xin landed one punch after another right between their brows, sending them scurrying away in panic.
The boss, who had green dragons and white tigers tattooed on his body, was punched in the eye by An Xin. He sprawled on the ground in a sorry state, clutching his eye and letting out a hideous howl.
"You, you actually dare to hit me? Damn it, are you tired of living?" That punch was enough to batter even a man made of iron, let alone a living person.
In just over ten minutes, Cheng Xiao and his men were all sprawled on the ground. An Xin waved his hand quite casually and said lazily, "I thought you had some real skills. If you aren't going to show your full strength, are you looking down on me?"
These people were only good at bragging; in reality, they had no real skills! An Xin had a clear understanding of his own strength.
If someone who had practiced martial arts were here, he might not have the skills to handle them. But these burly men could only rely on their fat bodies to intimidate others! They had nothing but fat and no real substance!
The commotion here was quite loud and had long since attracted the Waiter. "Bang, bang, bang!" A violent knocking on the door came, accompanied by the Waiter's terrified voice. "Sir! Sir! What's happening inside? Open the door! Sir, open the door!"
The Waiter didn't want to cause any trouble, especially since their restaurant was known for its service and high-end reputation! If a dispute broke out, it would likely affect the restaurant's reputation.
"Help! Help! They're trying to kill someone!" Upon hearing the voice outside, Cheng Xiao, as if hearing a heavenly sound, scrambled desperately toward the door.
An Xin twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly. Killing someone? Surely they weren't talking about him, were they? He was an innocent victim, and his actions were merely self-defense. How was he suddenly being framed for trying to kill someone?
The Waiter outside became even more anxious upon hearing this. Especially since, during the scuffle, red wine had been shattered all over the floor. The liquid flowed slowly out through the gap in the door, its vibrant color resembling blood.
The Waiter screamed in terror, nearly jumping out of his skin. What, what was this? Did they really use knives in there?
Security personnel also ran over upon hearing the calls. Seeing this, they forcibly pried open the door lock. The moment the door opened, the scene inside appeared before everyone's eyes.
An Xin was sitting calmly on a chair, with a dozen burly men sprawled around him; there were no deaths. The Waiter and the security guards suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If there had been any loss of life, they wouldn't have been able to handle the situation even if they all worked together.
"Call the police," the Waiter said tremblingly. "You must call the police! I want to sue him for assault!" Upon hearing the words "call the police," Cheng Xiao suddenly came to his senses. He glared viciously at An Xin and spoke impatiently.
If he couldn't beat An Xin, surely he could find a way to get back at him some other way! He wanted to teach An Xin a harsh lesson and let him know who the real boss was!
"Calling the police is fine. It will let everyone witness your ugly faces!" An Xin sneered, completely unafraid. Cheng Xiao didn't mention the cause or effect of the incident at all, instead righteously accusing An Xin right there.
