Because Li Ang had gotten off to a good start, his group was temporarily invigorated with fighting spirit and brawled with the street thugs.
But soon, as Li Ang left, that fervor faded, and when it came to a real test of combat skills, they were naturally no match for the habitual fighters and were swiftly defeated.
They had all come hoping for an easy score, harvesting a flock of fat sheep, but today had nearly gone awry, each of them taking a few hits and even having a motorcycle stolen from them.
This fueled their anger, making them strike with exceptional severity, and soon, none of the smugglers could stand up anymore.
This outcome was expected by Li Ang; these smugglers were not good people—they were either rebels, had committed crimes back home, or owed large debts. What law-abiding person would abandon their nationality and flee to a foreign country?
Letting them get beaten was a good lesson for them to realize that life in a foreign land wasn't so rosy after all.
