“Quick, catch that red-haired kid!”

“Bastard! How dare you steal? !”

“Stop! ! I’m going to rip your head off!”

Along an alley in Fengyun City’s Hongfeng district.

Two adult burly men were roaring furiously as they chased their target.

The young man, munching a baguette, did not intend to stop. Instead, he sped up his escape.

Although stealing was immoral, it was nothing compared to death.

If Scott did not find a way to get something to eat, he would become a rat’s meal!

After kicking over the “Best club of 2120” billboard, he found himself in a dead end!

“Damn it! What place is this? !”

This was not Scott’s first unlucky encounter.

Over the past two days, he felt like a child abandoned by God.

Or, he was blessed.

He had died in a car accident.

When he opened his eyes again, he was awakened by a beam of light.

He thought he was in hell or heaven.

But after walking for a while, he realised that he was a in normal human world.

However, this was a hundred years later!

He rejoiced that he regained his life in the future.

However, he faced problems surviving — he was penniless and had no relatives.

Before his rebirth, he only knew some simple fighting skills as a street thug.

That’s all he knew.

No shops on the street were willing to take him in as his identity and origin were unknown.

Furthermore, with his cell phone from 100 years ago, shop owners believed that he had escaped from a mental hospital!

He was helpless. In order to survive, he had to take risks.

He shall pay the price with two big men over 190 cm, ready to beat him up and throw him into the sewer.

He could only chew faster as he had no way else to go.

Being beaten up was still better than starving to death.

As he was about to turn and change his route, the two burly men blocked his escape path.

“Puff… puff… ! Kid! I dare you to run!”

“I’m going to shove your head into your butt!”

The two burly men clenched their fists as they panted heavily.

This thin and weak “little mouse” made their eyes flashed with a fierce light!

After taking a few steps forward, the big bald man swung his fist!

Scott was very agile. He knew how to use his skinny body and the narrow space to dodge.

But his situation did not improve.

After a few consecutive missed punches, the two big men became even more furious!

“Ah! !”

While Scott was unaware, the bald man lowered his body, rushed forward and grabbed his neck!

The other man swung his fist!

Bang! Bang! !

The sound of the punches hitting his body resounded through the narrow alley.

“Kid! This street is our gang’s territory! Where did you get the guts to steal here? !”

“Do you know how long the previous person who did this stayed in the hospital?”

While the other party was speaking, Scott found an opportunity to bite his arm!

“Ah! ! !”

This heart-wrenching pain made him jump!

He had to let go of his hands which were restraining Scott.

“FUCK! !”

The other man wanted to knock Scott down in one punch and punched harder!

But this powerful punch was ultimately a miss.

As Scott dodged, it hit his companion.

Scott then found an opportunity to fight back and punched his opponent in the eye!

These moves were not taught to Scott.

Instead, he learnt them from the endless fighting in the slums.

It was an orphan’s necessary “survival skill”.

It was not within the two burly men’s expectation that Scott was so tenacious in exerting his utmost strength.

Suddenly, they were confused.

Scott wouldn’t miss this opportunity. His subsequent attack was much more harsh.

He aimed at his opponents’ vital parts on each move!

The throat, the crotch, wherever most vulnerable, were his targets.

This made the two men question themselves if they were the real villain!

They didn’t pay attention to their surroundings while they were fighting.

A “spectator” had been paying attention to them at the alley entrance for a long time.

After Scott’s insidious attack, the two men had no intention to tangle with this “wild dog” further.

Both turned around and ran out of the alley, with one man holding his bleeding wound from Scott’s bite.

“Clap, clap, clap…”

Scott heard a round of applause as he bent down to pick up the bread he dropped during the fight .

“This is really an eye-opener, Sir!”

Scott looked in the direction of this voice.

A middle-aged man in a gray suit, with two strands of beard and neatly combed hair, was looking at him with admiration.

There was no malice in this man’s eyes. Yet, Scott’s experience living in the slums from a young age taught him that he should never let his guard down.

On the contrary, he endured the pain and stood up quickly. He was prepared to face the next battle and threatened,

“three people will be sent to the hospital due to two cheap slices of bread. This shop owner really doesn’t know how to count. He has to pay you more than that for your medical fees!”

He believed that this middle-aged man was in cahoots with the two men he previously met.

Although he was almost unable to raise his right arm due to the pain, he knew as a gangster that the most important thing before a fight was to portray an imposing manner.

Therefore, he put on a tough and unafraid posture.

“Don’t be nervous, my friend. I’m not in cahoots with them…”, the middle-aged man said and threw his paper bag over.

It was obviously more effective than a punch.

Because it was full of fragrant bread.

Scott’s hungriness forced him to lower his guard partially. He grabbed the bread from the bag and shoved it into his mouth.

He didn’t trust the stranger in front of him, and he wasn’t sure if this bag of bread had any additional “ingredients”.

But he had no choice. He was too hungry.

Moreover, his poor physical state was unable to support him stealing another bag of bread and facing two or more strong men at the same time.

“You have a good taste. The most famous bakery on this street is Villanueva’s bakery, and French bread is even more popular…”

It wasn’t clear if the middle-aged man was mocking him.

But judging from the smile on his face, it was more of admiration.

Scott didn’t know what the man was trying to do.

His body and eyes were still trying their best to stay alert.

The man’s eyes kept wandering on him.

The more he looked at him, the wider he smiled.

“It seems that even after a hundred years, human beings still haven’t improved. There are still many perverts…”

Scott thought that this man in a suit was crazy.

Is he coveting me?

That’s disgusting! !

As he picked up a brick behind him and was about to give him a whack, the man spoke again.

“You don’t seem to have a home. Do you want to join a place where you don’t have to worry about food and drink?”

“Hehe, is it because you don’t have enough male prostitutes, or are there not enough people to look after the place?”

Scott doubted that he had good intentions.

“Hahahaha…” the middle-aged man laughed and said,

“don’t be like this, kid. You can call me Kang Lin! I’m the Admission Director of Chalmers Martial Arts Academy.”

“Believe me! Under the training of our academy, you will definitely become an excellent warrior!”

Scott slowed down munching his bread.

He knew a lot about a “warrior” after a few days of wandering.

All the billboards in front of big stores had discounts for products of a “warrior”.

Movie theatres, department stores, and various restaurants also showed great respect to these people.

It seemed to be a special identity.

However, Scott still remained vigilant.

In the past few days, he endured too much of the public’s supercilious look. He had no reason to believe in friendship from people of the future world.

Moreover, he really did not like how this person looked at him.

Perhaps he would sell him to some underground organization if he followed him. By then, he would not even be able to keep his organs.

After swallowing the last piece of bread, he said without hesitation, “I’m sorry, Sir. I’m really not familiar with you!”

“Thank you for the food. Goodbye…”

Scott endured the pain in his right arm and walked past him confidently.

The middle-aged man named Kang Lin still had a smile on his face.

“Really? That’s a pity.”

“Good luck, this street is not as simple as you think….”
