Chapter 22: Fury

As these words left his mouth, someone in the crowd laughed. HuMing's words were clearly beyond the comprehension of those unfamiliar with gaming.Even though Lu GuiFang didn't understand, seeing everyone's reactions made her cheeks burn like she'd been slapped hard in the face. She, who had previously faked discomfort in her heart, now felt genuinely uneasy.

"HuMing, that's enough!"

A deep voice emerged from beside HuMing. HuMing turned to face the man who had remained silent all along. ZhaoWei returned his gaze, his thoughts unclear.

ZhaoWei approached HuMing and continued,

"That's your mother. Even if she's in the wrong, you shouldn't speak to her like that."

"So I should continue smiling at someone who is mistreating me?" HuMing raised an eyebrow, his smile becoming more piercing.

"Are you used to approaching people with a smile only to be slapped in the face? If so, pretend I never said anything." 

HuMing shrugged his shoulder, clearly unconcerned with what ZhaoWei said.

Han YunXi's mouth dropped open slightly. HuMing's sharp tongue surprised her. Was this the same brother who had a quick temper?

Hu Ming's voice was soft, but that didn't prevent the other students from hearing him. Many people agreed with his words: if others trample on and slander you, who the hell would continue plastering a smile?

Of course, some overly righteous individuals condemned Hu Ming's actions, but only to earn disdainful glances from many students.

ZhaoWei's face stiffened, lost for words for a moment.

Meanwhile, Lu GuiFang, who appeared to be as lifeless as a dead chicken just moments before, seemed revived. She stood firmly beside Han ShuYi and hurled curses at HuMing.

However, in light of HuMing's indifference, her actions appeared feeble.

Han ShuYi's expression was unusual. He wanted to distance himself from this insane woman right now because it was too embarrassing. However, he was currently trapped and unable to free himself.

[Annoying, couldn't she pick another time to make a scene?]

His eyes flashed briefly with coldness but soon returned to normal, and suddenly, he caught sight of a figure in the crowd. Narrowing his eyes, he remembered where he had seen this figure before. If...

HuMing, hands on his hips, stared at Lu GuiFang as if she were an idiot. Lu GuiFang becomes even angrier at HuMing's gaze. She raised her hand to slap HuMing across the face, but HuMing's icy voice stopped her.

"If you dare slap me, I'll make sure you compensate me until you're bankrupt."

Lu GuiFang met HuMing's gaze.

Behind those dark and profound eyes was danger, like a lion lurking in the shadows. For some reason, she was terrified---not by HuMing's words, but by the look in his eyes.

For a moment, the air seemed to have frozen.

Ye QiuXue, who was watching the scene unfold, was about to drive away other students to put an end to it when she noticed a boy charging toward HuMing from behind.

It was SunZhe from yesterday! He was dressed in black with a hood over his head and a silver sparkle reflected off his sleeves.

Ye QiuXue's pupils contracted, and she instinctively shouted towards HuMing.

"Watch out!'

His speed was astounding. Everyone present could only watch helplessly as the events unfolded. Even the elderly security guard in charge of safety stood frozen in place. Clearly, he had not anticipated this happening. How could a student assault another with a knife?!

When Ye QiuXue's voice rang out, SunZhe instantly knew that his plan had been discovered. He slid the knife out of his sleeve, grabbed it in his hand, and thrust towards HuMing with all his might!

But what shocked him most was that HuMing had already turned around, facing him directly. But HuMing suddenly fell forward for some reason, coming towards his knife!

'Just what I needed!'

SunZhe's eyes were filled with rage, his expression ferocious as if he wanted to bring HuMing to his end! He tried to move the knife in his hand forcefully but suddenly found the weapon in his hand was completely immovable.

Amidst the surrounding screams, only SunZhe knew best---he hadn't injured HuMing! When he snapped back to reality, a fist appeared before his eyes, blocking his vision.

-----HuMing's POV-----

Even before Han ShuYi's gaze wandered, HuMing had noticed the situation behind him. So when Ye Qiuxue spoke, he had already taken a preemptive move by turning around to face the person.

But, just as he finished his move, he felt a push from behind. When confronted with the knife so close, HuMing cursed inwardly for a moment before quickly grabbing the assailant's wrist, preventing the knife from moving even an inch.

The blade almost pierced through his vulnerable clothing, just narrowly missing his body. In this intense moment, HuMing's anger found its outlet: the person right before him.

His fist smashed into the other's face, and when the assailant didn't fall, HuMing grabbed his arm and violently twisted it in the opposite direction!

The sound of the silver glinting knife falling on the ground was accompanied by a scream reminiscent of a slaughtered pig echoing through the air.

There, SunZhe was firmly pinned to the ground, tears and snot streamed down his cheeks. His eyes were red, still expressing his desire to kill HuMing for SuLiu.

It was clear as the day that he had gone crazy. If not, what else could drive someone to do such extreme actions for another person?

Han LiTian was also stunned by the scene before him, but unlike the others, he quickly regained his composure.

"Why are you all still standing there? Grab him!"

The majority of the people here were students. Where had they ever witnessed such a scene? An actual campus murder nearly occurred at their school. Was this something that can be normally experienced?

The security guards swiftly moved forward to restrain the boy for HuMing, but their gazes toward HuMing had changed significantly.

There was no hesitation in his actions just now. If the earlier attack was like a test, HuMing's response was the most violent solution. Looking at SunZhe's twisted arm, they felt chilled to the bone.

Hu Ming stood up, his cold gaze fixed on Lu GuiFang.

At this moment, Lu Guifang finally came to her senses and cursed loudly at Hu Ming.

"Look at you, pest! It doesn't matter if you are killed, but what if you involve me and ShuYi?!"

She opened her mouth as if she still had some anger to release. But before she could continue. HuMing slapped her to the ground with the same force he would use to hit a mosquito in the middle of the night.

Lu GuiFang's cheek swelled up rapidly. She stared blankly at HuMing.

His eyes seemed to contain flames that danced with intent to burn her to ashes completely!"
