Han Ying's action and explanation shocked everyone in the shop except Myung-Hee. She was the only one who found the show interesting. It was similar to a drama she watched, but this was happening in real life.
However, she was a bit scared when the argument turned into a fight. If it wasn't for Teacher Xing, the slap would hit Aunt Ying's cheek...
As for Hong Yu, she was shocked, but it was also a pleasant surprise for her. Then she smiled as she thought to herself, 'Heh, finally you can be honest with yourself, you even kissed him in front of me!
Not only did the anger subside, but Han Ying's action made Guo Shan even more angry with her for kissing Heero. Guo Shan tried to pull his hand, but the grip was so strong that his right hand did not even move a little.
"F*ck, die you bastard!" Guo Shan made an unexpected decision as he released his daughter from his hand. He used his left to strike Heero in the face.
Han Ying was startled when she saw her daughter fall. She wanted to reach Shen Miao, but her reaction was simply too slow. Of course, Heero also noticed Guo Shan's actions.
He immediately released the grip and pushed Guo Shan away. Then he immediately lunged forward and caught Shen Miao as she was about to fall to the ground. Heero's action was so fast that Han Ying only saw a shadow lunge over and catch her daughter.
Shen Miao herself was shocked as it happened too suddenly. The shock of the sudden fall was so great that Shen Miao immediately began to cry. Soon, the shop was filled with Shen Miao's screams!
"Huwaaaaa..."
The fight between her father and mother added to the fact that her father almost slapped her mother, and also her father, whom she always admired, let her fall. She was confused, she was afraid, and other negative feelings mixed inside her and made her cry.
Heero immediately picked up Shen Miao and rubbed the little girl's back to calm her down, "It's okay... it's okay..."
"Bastard! Don't touch my daughter! Take your hands off my daughter!" Guo Shan roared in anger, not realizing his mistake and letting his daughter fall from his hand.
The roar only made the little girl scream louder. At that moment, Heero felt truly disgusted with Guo Shan.
Han Ying rushed over to take Shen Miao away from Heero. She tried to calm the little girl but it was useless as Guo Shan roared again.
"Do you know who I am? I am a hero, Gold Class Hero - Rank 17. I can use my authority to make you suffer! Leave Han Ying or I will chase you out of town, believe me, I can and will do it if you don't listen to me!" Guo Shan threatened Heero, showing his true nature for all to see.
Heero was in a dilemma, he desperately wanted to hit this man. But he could not, at least not in front of Shen Miao. It would only make things worse for the little girl.
Should I call Sun Zhou Yi to drive this man away? Heero considered summoning his student.
Without thinking, there were only two ways to get rid of Guo Shan: beat him up, make him know his place, or call Sun Zhou Yi. As someone who cared about his status, calling Sun Zhou Yi was the most effective way.
"What? Are you afraid now? If you are afraid, leave this place! NOW!" Guo Shan sneered contemptuously. He thought his threats were working on Heero.
Urgh... but I want to hit him... my hand itches..." Heero really wanted to hit Guo Shan, at least once.
Guo Shan himself did not want to make his move. This time, he realized his mistake, he should not have hit Han Ying, it would tarnish his reputation. The same for Heero, if he beat Heero, his good reputation that he had built up so far would be tainted. He did not want that to happen.
As Heero started to make a phone call, the crying stopped. He looked back and saw that Shen Miao had stopped crying. With tears still in her eyes, she looked at her father.
Next, Han Ying, Heero, Hong Yu and even Guo Shan were taken aback by the little girl's next words. They had not expected Shen Miao to ask such a question.
Still, with a sobbing voice, she asked her father, "Are you really my father?"
"Of course, I am your father~ Don't you recognize me, Miao Miao?" Guo Shan's tone suddenly softened.
"But why? Why did you want to hit Mum? Why did you threaten him? My father is a hero, he would never threaten anyone! Are you really my father?" Shen Miao continued in a sobbing voice, pointing her finger at Heero.
To be questioned like that by his four-year-old daughter only rubbed salt into his wound, it was humiliating for him.
"You insolent child! How dare you question your father? Are you asking for a beating?" The hot-tempered Guo Shan lost his cool once again. It was certainly embarrassing to be questioned by the daughter he had raised in front of his rival and ex-wife.
Guo Shan rushed over to take Shen Miao from Han Ying's hand. Unfortunately, his path was blocked by Heero. There was no way Heero would let Guo Shan hurt Shen Miao.
"I warn you! Do not interfere in my affairs unless you want to die!" Guo Shan threatened Heero with his bloodshot eyes.
"Hoho, but this is my business too. Han Ying is my wife now, so Shen Miao is my daughter too. It's a father's duty to protect his daughter!" Heero replied with a smile. He canceled his plan to call Sun Zhou Yi, he decided to give this man a good beating.
Then Heero turned around and said, "Take Miao Miao upstairs..."
Although Heero did not finish his words, Han Ying understood what Heero was about to do. There was a hesitation when she remembered that her ex-husband was a gold-class hero. But the hesitation only lasted a moment before she nodded.
Hong Yu followed her sister with Myung-Hee. As she passed Heero, she whispered in a low voice, "Beat him until he is unrecognizable!"
Heero just shook his head at his wife's antics. As for Guo Shan, he just watched from where he stood. He did nothing to stop Han Ying from bringing Shen Miao upstairs but merely glared at Heero.
"Heh, I warned you, boy! If you really want to die, then I will grant you your wish. But it will be a painful death because you dared to insult me. Don't worry, I won't kill you right away, I'll break your limbs and then I'll rape your women in front of you!
Guo Shan spat out venomous words. He no longer cared about his reputation. Heero just shook his head, which made Guo Shan even angrier.
With his extraordinary speed, Guo Shan immediately charged at Heero. In a flash, Guo Shan was in front of Heero and shot his fist at Heero's nose.
Heero easily dodged such a simple punch. He ducked his head to the right as his right fist shot towards Guo Shan's stomach. It had never occurred to him that his opponent would counter so easily. Guo Shan was caught off guard as the blow landed on his stomach.
Kyak!
A sharp pain radiated from his abdomen. But the counter did not stop there as an uppercut landed on his jaw.
Bang!
Guo Shan's mind went blank for a moment as he retreated, his body swaying. He thought he would faint the moment the uppercut hit his jaw, but the pain kept him conscious.
As he staggered back a few steps, he realized that the man in front of him was no ordinary citizen.
"Heh, no wonder you are so brazen, you know so little martial arts!" Guo Shan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued, "But a martial art is useless against an awakened ability!"
With that, the shiny green scale immediately covered both of Guo Shan's arms. It was an awakened ability that he had gained through awakening. It was a scale that could cover his body, an armor harder than steel.
It could be armor, but it could also be a weapon. With the green scale covering his body, Guo Shan charged at Heero fearlessly. He was still aiming at the same spot, Heero's nose. He wanted to disfigure Heero.
Heero was a little surprised to see the green scale. He was curious how Guo Shan could grow the scale through his skin. It was not that impossible with Ki, but he knew that Guo Shan did not know how to control the Ki, let alone use it.
'Heh... you are so proud of your so-called awakened ability, then I will show you how useless your awakened ability is...'
Heero easily caught the fist with his bare hand. Even though his fist was caught, Guo Shan smiled wickedly.
Hah, stupid, let's see how your hand gets crushed by my scale!
A few seconds later, Guo Shan realized something was wrong. The scream he had been waiting for had not come. When he saw Heero trying to receive his blow, the scenario in his mind was that he crushed Heero's hand for the first time.
But nothing happened to Heero's hand even after receiving his fist. Guo Shan was shocked, believing in his awakened ability, even the top ten Gold Class heroes would have a hard time facing him.
While Guo Shan was dazed, Heero returned the attack with a punch as well. He aimed for the same target, the nose.
You kept aiming at my face, I will return the favor! The punch whistled through the air and in an instant, his fist hit Guo Shan's nose.
Bump!
Guo Shan could not react to the counterattack, but he did not panic. His scale was the best for defense, 'Heh, you might get away unscathed from my fist, but not this time...' A broad grin appeared on Guo Shan's face.
However, the grin did not last long as pain washed over his nose. Along with the pain, he lost his footing, and his body was blown away.
Bam!
Guo Shan's body hit the wall, and then he felt blood dripping from his nose. Then Guo Shan realized that his defense had been broken by a single punch.
Before he could get over the shock, a shadow loomed over him. He looked up to see Heero standing there. Guo Shan tried to get up, but Heero pinned him down with his left hand.
"I'm not finished yet!" With a broad grin, Heero slapped Guo Shan's face with his right hand, "This is for Han Ying!"
Heero did not stop there as he delivered more punches, "This is for touching Hong Yu!"
"This is for Miao Miao, you almost hurt her!"
"This is for Han Ying, you dared to slap her!"
"This is for me, for daring to threaten me!"
"This is for hurting Han Ying in the past... Eh, wait, if you didn't leave her, I can't be her husband... I should be grateful instead... Ah, whatever, this is for Han Ying!"
"This is for disrupting our work!" "This is for..." "This is..."
After countless blows, the scale covering Guo Shan's face fell, revealing his unrecognisable face. Guo Shan was semi-conscious after the beating.
After that, Heero picked up the semi-conscious Guo Shan by the neck. He carried him out, which caught the attention of the people. They talked to each other, gossiping about who the man in Heero's hand was.
Heero ignored the people around him as he walked to the entrance of the district. He threw Guo Shan at the entrance and talked to Fatty Liang, "Put this guy on the blacklist, for a month! If he tries to break into the district, you can call me or Sun Zhou Yi or Hirata!"
After that, Heero approached Guo Shan and whispered, "From today, I will take care of your daughter. If you want to meet her, you can come back after your brain has cooled down!"
After all, Guo Shan was still Shen Miao's father. It was inappropriate to prevent him from meeting his daughter. As long as this guy came with good intentions, there was no reason for Heero to prevent Guo Shan from meeting Miao Miao.
