She was just a student; she had never seen such a big scene before. Although the man wasn’t bleeding, seeing him rolling around in pain scared the girl so much that she thought he might have suffered so internal injury, and tears even stread down her face.
"Have you finished making your call?" the man trembled as he spoke.
"I’m scared, my hands are shaking so much, I-I haven’t even opened my phone." The girl said with a trembling voice, almost crying.
"Useless!" The man felt he was about to pass out from the pain, and the crying girl beside him was getting on his nerves. If he wasn’t in so much pain and without strength, he would definitely slap her a few tis to make her shut up.
Just when the girl was flustered and didn’t know what to do, the staff mber who had slipped away amid the chaos reappeared before the four of them. But this ti, she no longer had a smile on her face.
"Please rest assured, we have already called the hospital for you, and the ambulance will be here soon, so please patiently wait." Despite the staff mber’s annoyance, she maintained her high professional standards and managed to calm the panicking girl down quite a bit.
"Is he alright?" Lin ngyao looked at the man lying on the ground shouting in pain, worried that Xu Ke might have been too heavy-handed and seriously hurt him.
"Don’t worry, I was careful. Just wanted him to be in so pain, won’t be life-threatening," Xu Ke squinted slightly, speaking with a tone of slight regret and irritation.
"He dared to lay hands on you. All I did was make him hurt a bit, he’s lucky. He should be thankful we’re in Shangjing and not Luocheng, otherwise in Luocheng..." He would have skinned this person alive, teaching him through pain about whom he shouldn’t ss with.
"What would happen in Luocheng?" Lin ngyao asked, raising her head to look at Xu Ke, since he hadn’t finished his sentence.
"I would make him unable to take care of himself, let him understand why the flowers are so red." Xu Ke smiled warmly with a teasing look in his eyes.
Lin ngyao thought Xu Ke was just joking and quickly brushed the matter aside.
Xu Ke took advantage of the man lying on the ground howling to buy the clothes.
The girl called the man’s father, who arrived surprisingly quickly, even before the ambulance.
"Who hit my son? Oh, my poor baby, why are you lying on the ground like this? The floor is so cold, it’s bad for you, hurry and get up." The old man, wearing a suit and a big gold chain around his neck, first ca in with an imposing deanor. But upon seeing his son lying on the ground, the anger in his eyes was replaced by tenderness, forgetting even his rage, hurriedly walked up to his son with a face full of affection and pity, trying to help him up.
"Dad, don’t touch , I’m in agonizing pain, let lie here a bit, it’s more comfortable." The man, helped halfway up by his father, hadn’t even had ti to sit up straight before breaking into a sweat from the pain.
"Dad, you have to avenge ." Re-lying on the cold floor, although it was uncomfortable, it was much better than the pain all over his body.
Talking about the person who hard his son, the old man’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "Don’t worry, son, I will surely avenge you, I’ll make the person who hurt you pay dearly. Where is that person, I’ll settle the score right now."
"No need to look, I’m right here, co at if you want revenge." Xu Ke said coldly, watching the man shout about teaching him a lesson.
The old man raised his head, looking at Xu Ke with eyes like a wild wolf.
"Dad, it’s him, he’s the one who hit . Dad, you must stand up for , it hurts so much." The man said with grievance.
"How did you hit my son?" The old man straightened up, looking Xu Ke in the eyes. Unlike his son’s plumpness, he carried a fierce aura despite his age, standing a whole notch taller in stature compared to his son.
Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, subtly shielding Lin ngyao behind him, then lazily spoke, "With my foot."
Xu Ke’s attitude completely enraged the man’s father, "I’ve never laid a finger on my son since he was a child, how dare you hit him, and with such arrogance! You’ve got so nerve, hope you keep that attitude in the future." The man’s father said with a sinister gleam in his triangular eyes, and in the next mont, he lifted his leg to kick Xu Ke’s knee.
Wearing leather shoes, his leg muscles strained his pants tightly, if this kick landed on the knee, it would almost certainly result in a fracture, possibly leaving Xu Ke limp.
Xu Ke’s expression turned serious, and the mont he saw the kick coming, he reflexively countered with his own leg, eting the kick with considerable force. The collision of their feet made a dull thud.
Seeing yet another pair about to fight in the shop, the expressions on the staff mbers’ faces beca even more grim. To keep their jobs, they stepped between the two without worrying about getting hit, and said, "Gentlen, this is a public place, you can’t fight here. If you have unresolved issues, please take it to a boxing venue, not in our store, please?"
Seeing the near begging on the staff mbers’ faces, the man’s father showed a flash of impatience, "Not letting us fight, how did my son end up hurt in your store? Isn’t it just because you’re afraid I might damage your store’s things? Rest assured, even if I were to break everything in your store today, I could afford to pay for it. Anything else? If not, get lost, got more important things to do." The man’s father shouted impatiently.
The booming voice almost made one think he carried a loudspeaker, shaking ears uncomfortably.
"Didn’t expect a pretty boy like you to have skills, I underestimated you." The man’s father spat on the shiny floor, then raised a fist to strike Xu Ke, determined to avenge his son, just like he had dealt with anyone who bullied his child when he was young.
But he forgot, those he dealt with before were children, this ti he faced an adult.
Xu Ke neither intercepted nor dodged the punch, because Lin ngyao was standing behind him.
Seeing the oncoming fists, Xu Ke t the attack by changing his fist into an open hand, striking at the man’s father’s elbow. Xu Ke’s palm was like a steel blade, at first the man’s father contemplated how to make Xu Ke apologize to cheer up his dear son. But the next mont, any smile froze on his face, replaced first by disbelief, followed by imnse pain.
The man’s father held his injured arm, looking incredulously at Xu Ke, who stood unflinchingly before him. Similarly, the man lying on the floor couldn’t believe his normally invincible father hadn’t defeated the man to avenge him, and had even lost.
The man on the floor had his mouth wide open in disbelief.
"If there’s nothing else, we will be leaving now." Xu Ke held Lin ngyao’s hand, looking down at the man lying miserably on the floor.
"Control your son, the next ti he shows up in front of , it won’t be so easy." Xu Ke slightly curled his lips into a malicious smile.
