Su Chen leisurely strolled to the vicinity of the university city.
There were many food streets here. He chose a place called "Li Mei Barbecue" and went in.
He ordered some food at random, and started eating skewers while reading online novels.
How boring, he couldn't cultivate.
As an Immortality Phase Great Cultivator, he suddenly became idle, so he had to pick up his high school hobby and start reading online novels.
"Wanwan, look, this boy looks tall and thin, about your age, I can't believe he can eat so much. He ordered over six hundred yuan worth of food in one go."
The owner of the barbecue shop, a woman in her forties, was picking leeks while talking to her daughter.
Despite being in her forties, she looked twenty years older than Aunt Ning.
This was the power of maintenance.
Her daughter, who was helping to pick vegetables on the side, was very pretty and delicate, with rosy lips and a small nose. She was also wearing an old high school uniform, which added a touch of youthful campus feel.
"Mom, aren't you afraid this is another bastard who will dine and dash?" The female student asked.
"Most customers are honest and pay their bills,There are only a few each month who don't." the owner sighed.
"A few a month means we work for several days for nothing," the female student, Jiang Wanwan, complained.
"Forget it, Wanwan, it's something we can't help, We can't afford to offend those local bullies." the owner shook her head and sighed.
"That's why I'm working so hard to support your education, so you can enter upper society and stay away from these hooligans."
"I know, Mom..."
Su Chen listened to their conversation without any expression on his face and continued reading his novel.
After a while, a group of people with dyed hair came into the barbecue shop. The shop suddenly became noisy.
Seeing these people, Jiang Wanwan's face changed, and she tugged at her mother's apron in fear, "Mom! They... they're here!"
"Quick, hide in the kitchen!"
Seeing this, the owner quickly told her daughter to leave.
"Boss, why aren't you serving us yet? What are you dawdling for?"
A thug with a skull bandana, walked past Su Chen, kicking a few chairs and making a "creaking" noise in the shop.
Su Chen frowned.
He simply used his spiritual energy to block his hearing and continued reading his novel. He was at the exciting part.
"Alright, alright, Brother Kun."
The owner put on a smiling face and handed over the menu, "Brothers, see what you'd like to eat."
"Same as before!"
The thug called Brother Kun waved his hand and patted the owner."Sister Mei, you're still quite charming. What's good about sticking with that loser Jiang Haichao?
You might as well follow me, Ma Kun!""At least in this Shuiyue Street, no one dares to bully you, right brothers?"
The five thugs at the table burst into laughter.
"Brother Kun, what kind of joke are you making? I'm old and faded, how could I catch your eye."
"Wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to cook. Today I'll offer you brothers an extra grilled fish."
The proprietress, Li Mei, bowed and complied.
"Alright, go prepare it."
Ma Kun waved his hand dismissively, propping his feet up on the table as he drank and chatted with his brothers.
The content of their conversation was unsavory.
If they weren't discussing which nightclub girl was attractive, they were talking about fighting with other gangs, their voices loud and grating.
Several customers who had been in the shop were scared off.
Seeing the departing customers who hadn't paid, Jiang Wanwan, who was hiding behind the cash register, couldn't hold back anymore. Covering her face with her school uniform sleeve, she ran out.
"Eh? Holy shit, Kun, look where this hot schoolgirl came from."
A punk pointed at the escaping Jiang Wanwan.
Ma Kun turned his head and his eyes immediately lit up!
Another underling said, "I think I've seen her before, she's Li Mei's daughter. She usually studies in the south city high school, comes back once every few months."
"This mother and daughter, hiding such a beautiful girl and sending her to the south city to study, guarding against us like thieves. Watch how I deal with her later."
"Ding ding ding ding..."
As Ma Kun chugged his beer, he watched Jiang Wanwan's innocent figure with a wicked smile.
"Phew, finally got some back."
Jiang Wanwan, holding several hundred-yuan bills, was walking back when suddenly her money was snatched away.
"What are you doing? This is my money, give it back!"
Jiang Wanwan looked at Ma Kun, both anxious and scared.
"Give it back to you? How do you prove this is your money? Call it and see if it responds."
Ma Kun looked at Jiang Wanwan with a lecherous smile.
"I..."
Jiang Wanwan turned a pleading gaze towards Su Chen, who was flipping through a novel at a nearby table, but he showed no intention of helping her.
She bit her lip, staring angrily at Ma Kun, "This is my money!"
"Little girl, you're so cute."
Ma Kun reached out to tease her.
Jiang Wanwan slapped his hand away, "Give me my money back, or I'll call the police!"
"Oh, you're going to call the police? Here, borrow a phone and try it."
Ma Kun casually reached for Su Chen's phone.
He thought the young man wouldn't dare to refuse, but instead, he looked displeased, "What are you doing?" Just as Ma Kun was about to explode, Li Mei heard the commotion and quickly ran out.
Seeing her daughter Jiang Wanwan exposed under the lewd gazes of the gang, she quickly stepped forward, "Brother Kun, the food is almost ready, you can eat soon..."
"Eat your fucking food!"
Ma Kun raised his hand and slapped Li Mei across the face, growling menacingly, "I'm telling you, from now on, every shop on Shuiyue Street has to pay an extra four thousand yuan in management fees each month, it's Brother Xiao's orders!"
"Mom!"
Jiang Wanwan cried and hugged Li Mei.
Ignoring the pain on her face, Li Mei looked terrified, "Brother Kun, you...you're ruining our livelihood! Four thousand yuan, how can I afford that?"
"Can't afford it? How about this, let your daughter acknowledge me as her god-brother, then you'll be my godmother. I promise no one on this street will dare to bully you again, how about it, Sister Mei?"
As Ma Kun spoke, his gaze never left Jiang Wanwan, her graceful figure and innocent face were truly tempting. "Brother Kun, please spare us mother and daughter. I beg you, Wanwan is only eighteen and just got admitted to Qingzhou University."
Of course, Li Mei knew what Ma Kun wanted to do, so she knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Mom, mom, don't kneel!"
Jiang Wanwan's face was also full of tears.
Seeing this, Su Chen remained expressionless.
Having lived for over two thousand years, he had seen countless similar situations in the Cultivation World.
On Earth, there were at least laws. In the Cultivation World, there was nothing. If you liked something, you took it. If anyone dared to stop you, you killed them. If you wanted to massacre a village, you did it without hesitation.
Rescue?
Alas, could he save everyone?
"Madam, how much do I owe for these?"
Su Chen intended to pay and leave.
He wanted to go home and finish reading his novel.
"Young man, you..."
Li Mei looked at Su Chen in confusion.
Jiang Wanwan also found this man strange, but she still answered, "It's five hundred and thirty yuan in total."
Just as Su Chen was about to pay by scanning the QR code, Ma Kun swiped at his face, "Did I let you pay?"
The next moment, Su Chen grabbed his wrist and gave it a light squeeze.
"Crack!" A crisp sound echoed as Ma Kun's wrist bone broke. He screamed in pain, rolling on the ground.
"Payment received, five hundred and thirty yuan."
The announcement came from the cash register.
Jiang Wanwan was completely stunned.
What was happening?
This guy had just taken down Ma Kun while casually paying for his meal?
"I've paid."
Su Chen put his phone back in his pocket, ready to go home.
"Kill him!!!"
Ma Kun, lying on the ground, let out a pig-like scream.
Five thugs immediately looked ferocious, each throwing punches at Su Chen.
"Are you guys annoying or what?"
Su Chen furrowed his brows and slapped back.
This slap, as fast as lightning, hit each of the five thugs in turn, making a series of loud smacks.
PentaKill!
More than a dozen bloody teeth flew out.
The five thugs lay next to Brother Kun, clutching their bleeding cheeks and screaming in pain. Some were even crying, their gums dislocated, the pain unbearable.
By the time Jiang Wanwan and Li Mei came to their senses, Su Chen had already left.
He wanted to hurry home to read his novel.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
When he reached the crossroads, Jiang Wanwan caught up with him, panting heavily.
