Looking at the short man's posture, I immediately understood that the two of them were here to collect protection fees.
In the past, when I was still in school, I had heard of protection fees. To put it bluntly, it was the business of roaming the streets looking for a reason to collect money from these peddlers.
Although I'm willing to give them money, but from the looks of it, these two don't seem to be on the same side at all, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like they occupy the land.
The most important thing is, I don't even know who the fuck they are. I should know who the protection fee is, right?
Thus, I chuckled and asked them, "May I know which path you two come from?"
With that said, the tall and skinny guy's eyes narrowed as he looked at me mockingly and said, "Can you ask about the reputation of being a laborer? Are you not going to hand it over to me?"
When I heard these words, I immediately got angry, and my face darkened. Previously, I was trying to argue back because I was still living on this street, so I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, and deal with them with a peaceful attitude. But now, seeing how they are acting, it seems that it isn't just a small amount of money that can solve the problem.
Thinking up to this point, my expression changed. With an unfriendly expression, I asked the two of them, "Then, what do you want to do?"
"A thousand. Otherwise, don't even think about opening your store." That short man was really generous. Since my shop's rent was only 800 points, he immediately said a thousand. If money really came that easily, then everyone would have gone and become a hoodlum.
After hearing that, I chuckled as I looked at the two of them and said, "It's only a thousand. It's nothing more than a small matter."
Halfway through my words, the short man's face lit up and he looked at me with a smile. His face was full of desire, as if I had really become a big target for killing.
Then I said, "However, if you want to collect my protection fee, I'm afraid you're not qualified."
I was certain that these two were probably the jobless people on this street. They were just trying to scare me because they saw that I was a newcomer.
If that's the case, then I'll have to show some confidence. Otherwise, if they run out of money, they might come back some day.
"Yo-ho, brat, you're quite stubborn. Aren't you afraid that I'll smash your crappy store to pieces?" The skinny, tall man's expression changed as he turned around to look outside the door. He gritted his teeth as he spoke.
When I saw that he only said that he didn't move, I immediately understood after a glance at the short guy. This guy was feeling guilty, so I also chuckled and continued, "Since you dare to open this store, you should not be afraid of smashing it. If you're a person with a handle, why don't you try it?"
The reason why I was so confident was because the ghost girl in red dress hiding in my bracelet had sent me a message. Although I was unarmed at the moment, it would be very easy for me to deal with the two of them with the help of the ghost lady in red dress.
The two of them stared at me dumbfoundedly for a long time before snorting coldly. They spat towards my shop and said, "Brat, just you wait."
The two of them then walked outside together.
"Trash, it's really humiliating for your ancestors to be a hooligan like this!" I cursed as I watched the two of them leave. Thinking that I would have to deal with Zhang Yu and the rest later, I cleaned up the store and was about to close the door behind me.
However, before I could close the door, a thick arm reached in and pushed it open again.
"Is it him?" A rough voice sounds out and when I focused my eyes, heh, what a coincidence. It's actually one of the people that beat me up last time. A tall and short man and a short man were currently following behind me with a face full of playfulness.
"Right, Brother Fei, it's this guy. He even said you didn't lead the way, he's so f * cking arrogant." The two added oil to the fire as they talked. That Brother Fei got angrier the more they heard about him.
"Brat, looks like you haven't eaten your fill from last time, you actually came here." Brother Fei laughed, cracking his fingers loudly, and swaggered into the shop. He then looked around, and sneered: "Change your job to fortune-telling? Have you calculated that I would come and make trouble for you today? "
When I saw the three of them acting so arrogantly, I immediately became infuriated. I clenched my fists tightly in hatred as I thought to myself, "This is really the narrow path of enemies. I actually ended up encountering this god of pests again."
However, this time was different from last time, the workers were prepared to fight.
Thinking about this, I immediately chuckled. "The scholar said that I was unlucky today and would be bitten by a dog. I didn't expect that the sky would be so dark and I was still found by you three mad dogs."
When I said that, I wanted to purposely anger them. After all, this matter is not going to end well, so I might as well vent my anger and let these guys know that I am not a soft person. If they want to pinch me, they still have to be wary of me.
As expected, the moment I said that, Brother Fei's face turned blue. He glared at me like a venomous snake for a long time before finally bursting out two words from between his teeth, "Attack!"
However, how could I wait for them to make the first move? I threw a punch at Brother Fei before he could even spit out the word "hand." Although I didn't do much activity while sitting in front of my computer for a long time, I was still the school's sports star in university.
Furthermore, when I have the time, I will practice that Breath Control Technique Yi Yun gave me. My physical fitness has improved quite a bit from before. My strength and agility have both improved by leaps and bounds.
Brother Fei never expected that I would attack so brazenly, much less that my first target was him. When my punch landed on his chin, he had a hideous smile on his face. Then, his head tilted, and he staggered to the side.
At the same time, the two lackeys, one tall and one short, also rushed up with reddened eyes. Fortunately, my shop is newly opened, and there is nothing in it that I can easily carry.
"Beat them to death! If they die, I'll kill them!" Brother Fei shouted vaguely as he stood up with a swollen face.
I don't know how many punches I took. In any case, in the intense battle, I couldn't care less. The so-called narrow path allows the brave to win, and I have to put my all into fighting.
In the beginning, although I was able to gain the upper hand a little with my fierce strength, my fists were still unable to contend against his four hands. After a while, I felt that my strength was somewhat insufficient, to the point that I didn't even have the strength to retaliate anymore.
"Brat, aren't you arrogant? Didn't you say your grandpa was the one leading the way? Today, I will unload your arm!" Brother Fei laughed sinisterly as he walked over, treating me as a human punching bag, his eyes shining with excitement.
I felt my entire body go numb, but I didn't feel the slightest bit of fear when I saw Brother Fei approaching. This was because even though I had beaten him single-handedly, it didn't mean that the matter was over.
The three of them didn't realize this point. Looking at how I was powerless to fight back, I started to laugh out loud.
I looked at the three of them calmly as the bracelet on my wrist became increasingly cold. In the end, it was like a block of ice.
At the same time, Brother Fei's heavy kick came flying towards me.
To be honest, I was really shocked. This king is really f * cking evil, he wanted to cut off the roots of my descendants at the start.
But luckily, I have a future. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
A gust of cold wind blew past, and with a "pa" sound, the door that was previously open suddenly closed. The three of them were startled, turning back to look, but as soon as they turned their heads, Brother Fei's movements froze, and like a robot he turned back and stared blankly at the two men.
"Brother Fei, what's wrong?" Startled, the two of them asked at the same time.
However, Brother Fei didn't seem to hear them and slowly walked towards them. He didn't have any expression on his face and didn't even bat an eyelid. He was just like a lifelike wax statue.
After an explosive "pa" sound, a palm print appeared on the short man's face. It turned out to be that Brother Fei's slap.
"Brother Fei?" The short one had a puzzled expression. Looking at him, it was as if Brother Fei had suddenly turned into a completely different person. He was dumbstruck like a wooden chicken.
At the same time, the two of them finally let go of me. They were forced to slowly retreat by Brother Fei.
I smiled coldly and simply sat at the side to watch the monkey show. I thought that the red dressed ghost girl's actions were really quick. In just a blink of an eye, she had managed to get a hold of Brother Fei.
"Brother Fei, don't come near me. If you come again, I'll attack you." The tall man gritted his teeth and looked at Brother Fei in fear.
However, the person heading towards him wasn't Brother Fei, but the ghost girl in the red dress.
"Brother, run!" The short one saw that the situation wasn't going well, so he turned around and ran out the door like the wind.
He saw that Brother Fei also chased after him mechanically. As soon as he stepped out of the door, his body went limp and he fell unconscious at the door.
