13: Chapter 13 Lin Heng: I'm going to show off!

Hearing the man in black call to him, Lin Heng didn't even raise his eyes, merely taking a calm sip of the drink in front of him.

Seeing Lin Heng's fearless demeanor, the man in black couldn't help but frown. Could this kid have some major background?

A tall, thin man in black nearby immediately hurried over, lowering his voice to report into the leader's ear.

"Boss, I've checked. He's just an ordinary, fresh-out-of-school brat with no background or family status. He hasn't been in Fei City for long and is renting an old apartment in an urban village. He doesn't even have a proper job."

Every word fell into the leader's ears. The doubt in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by intense malice and disdain, and a cold, sinister smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

So he was just a greenhorn without a backer, putting on airs. He was probably scared stiff and didn't dare move, yet still dared to pretend to be calm here.

"Kid, do you know who is in your arms?" The lead man in black stepped forward. "Playing the hero has a price!"

Lin Heng seemed not to have heard what the man in black said. He smiled slightly at the Female Bar Owner and swirled the glass in his hand.

"Owner, the drink is gone!"

With that one light sentence, the entire room fell into instant silence.

Everyone was stunned, including the men in black opposite, the pale-faced girl hiding in Lin Heng's arms, and even the Female Bar Owner, who was used to such scenes, stood frozen, unable to react for a moment.

The surrounding diners also curiously raised their heads, wanting to see what kind of kid this was.

There was no other reason; he was just too good at acting tough.

However, they were very clear that the happier he was acting tough now, the more miserable his death would be in a moment.

The lead man in black's face darkened completely, turning livid. His eyes were so sinister they seemed to drip water, and he growled through gritted teeth, "Kid, you dare to play me?!"

He had lived this long and had never seen such a reckless greenhorn. With no background or family status, to be this arrogant in front of him was simply courting death!

"Get him. Break one of his legs."

The surrounding men in black had long been itching to strike; such a kid actually dared to play them like this.

"Wait!" The girl in Lin Heng's arms sat up and scanned the surrounding men in black, shouting.

The girl was somewhat helpless. She had originally just wanted to find someone to pretend to be her boyfriend and hide for a bit, to see if she could evade the pursuit of these men in black.

As a result, she didn't know why she had found such a standout young man; she could only say her luck was bad.

"Sigh!" The girl glanced at Lin Heng and let out a breath.

She could feel in Lin Heng's arms that Lin Heng was trembling, so she knew Lin Heng was just bluffing right now.

If she didn't step out now, this kid might be beaten to death by these people, and if that happened, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Young Miss Zhao, why aren't you continuing to act like an ostrich?" The lead man in black sneered at the girl.

Hearing the other party compare her to an ostrich, Zhao Yueyin's face flushed red, but she was helpless.

She bit her lip, glaring at the men in black in front of her with anger and helplessness, saying word by word, "I will go with you, I'll go back obediently. You are not allowed to make things difficult for him. This matter has nothing to do with him at all; he is just a passerby."

The lead man in black looked Zhao Yueyin up and down and curled his lips in disdain. "Still, Young Miss Zhao is sensible. Since you are cooperating voluntarily, we naturally won't make things difficult for an irrelevant piece of trash."

Zhao Yueyin sighed, preparing to leave with this group of men in black; it seemed she could only accept her fate.

But just as she lifted one foot, her wrist was suddenly gripped by a warm hand.

It was Lin Heng.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Yueyin looked at Lin Heng, not understanding.

Lin Heng simply pulled her calmly into his arms, letting Zhao Yueyin sit on his lap.

"Sit properly and drink with me!"

Zhao Yueyin froze completely, her cheeks instantly burning red. She lowered her voice, so anxious she was about to cry.

"You're crazy! Let me go quickly. Do you know who these people are? You'll get yourself killed doing this!"

She had originally felt guilty for implicating this innocent young man, thinking of sacrificing herself to ensure his safety, but Lin Heng's action was simply reckless.

She could still feel this man's whole body trembling.

However, Zhao Yueyin had misunderstood; Lin Heng was naturally not trembling from fear.

He was currently trembling with excitement. A beauty in his arms, and a group of men in black arriving—this was simply an excellent stage to show off.

How could he possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?

Lin Heng glanced at the girl in his arms and said calmly, "I said, sit properly! Drink with me!"

This scene completely stunned the entire room. The air in the bar seemed to freeze instantly, and even the background music seemed jarring.

The surrounding guests widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief. Inside, they exclaimed that this kid had gone mad; he actually dared to be so flirtatious with a Young Miss, as if he didn't want to die fast enough.

The lead man in black's face was livid, trembling with anger and growling through gritted teeth, his voice full of killing intent.

"Good! What a death-seeking thing! I see you are truly tired of living!"

"Get him!"

He waved his big hand, and the men in black surrounding the area immediately responded. Each of them showed a fierce glint in their eyes, clenched their fists, and lunged at Lin Heng together.

These people had been trained through years of fighting and killing. Their strikes were fast and ruthless, aiming for vital points with every move, without the slightest intention of holding back.

The surrounding guests were scared and retreated one after another. Some even covered their eyes, not daring to look, all concluding that this young man who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth would be beaten into a bloody mess in the next second and carried out of the bar horizontally.

Zhao Yueyin was scared pale, closing her eyes tightly. Her heart was in her throat, and her whole body was trembling.

But the next second, the screams she expected did not appear.

Only a few dull sounds of breaking air were heard, followed immediately by continuous muffled groans and screams, so fast that people couldn't react.

No one saw how Lin Heng made his move; they only saw his wrist flick lightly, tossing the pale green drink that remained at the bottom of the glass straight into the air.

The next moment, the few men in black who had lunged at the front seemed to hit an invisible high wall. Their bodies stiffened abruptly, then they flew backward uncontrollably, smashing heavily onto the cold floor and tables.

One by one, they clutched their chests and limbs, curling up on the ground in pain, unable to stand up again, and even their wails became weak.

The glass hovered in the air for a moment, then landed steadily, precisely returning to Lin Heng's free hand without the slightest deviation. The liquor in the glass only swayed slightly, remaining stable.

The surroundings were deathly silent. Everyone stood frozen on the spot, eyes wide, faces full of horror, having even forgotten to breathe.

Lin Heng held Zhao Yueyin with one hand and the wine glass with the other. He raised his eyes to look at the dumbfounded Female Bar Owner and said.

"Owner, pour the wine. Didn't you hear me?"

The Female Bar Owner trembled all over, only then snapping out of it. She hurriedly stepped forward, took the glass with both hands, her fingertips trembling, not even daring to breathe loudly, only nodding repeatedly: "Yes... Yes! Right away! I'll fill it up for you right away!"

The lead man in black froze on the spot, his legs unable to stop shaking. The malice and arrogance on his face had long since vanished.

"It was I who misjudged. I didn't expect you to be a martial artist. Kid, if you have the ability, stay here and don't move. I'm going to invite Brother Dragon over immediately!"

Having said that, the man in black ran away without looking back.
