"Ping An, put down the gun! If you kill him, neither Ning Ge nor Professor Ace can save you!"
Spanner and Chen Weiqiang rushed over and, together with Tang Tian, grabbed the furious me tightly, managing to take the AK out of my hands.
"Quick, quick, get him out of here!" Liu Shiyi immediately ordered his lackeys to carry the injured man away.
The crisis was officially over.
"Let go of me!" I shook off their hands and strode towards the shocked Niubaoguo.
"My cousin..." Swallow hurried over and grabbed my arm, afraid I might lose control again.
"What are you trying to do? Young people shouldn't be so ruthless. Don't think that just because you know the Iron Mountain Lean, you're invincible. If I were a few years younger, I'd have knocked your teeth out already!"
Niubaoguo was clearly terrified but tried to maintain his composure, desperately trying to uphold his "Taiji Master" image from Shakaman.
"Knowing the Iron Mountain Lean is indeed impressive. Uncle, I advise you to wake up and stop misleading people. My master is 90 years old, sharp-eared and bright-eyed, and he can break a grown pig's neck with his bare hands. When I was in China, he could still carry a 30kg silver spear and chase us around the mountains."
I patted Swallow's cold hand, signaling her not to worry. I hadn't lost my mind and had no intention of killing a fake master like Niubaoguo.
"You're not from the Taiji School? Why would your master use a spear... What? Your 90-year-old master can kill a pig? Are you descendants of hunters? I knew you were a fake, humph!"
Niubaoguo's nonsensical logic left me speechless.
"Niubaoguo, you're so good at talking, why don't you get a part-time job at DeYun She? When you get back to Thailand, tell Shakaman to stay away from me. He can't mess with Taiji disciples!"
I squeezed Swallow's hand, pretending to be calm. Suddenly, a sharp pain struck my chest, and my limbs felt incredibly sore. If Swallow wasn't next to me, I might have collapsed already.
"Ah!" Swallow cried out in pain as I squeezed her hand, her brows furrowing.
Though I knew I was hurting her, I couldn't let go, fearing I might collapse from exhaustion.
"You're dead! I'm telling you, young people shouldn't be so arrogant! I'll be back to challenge you!" Niubaoguo, seeing Pai Fa and the others had disappeared, quickly ran to the open door of the Maybach. One of Tang Tian's lackeys drove him away from the KK Park to meet the injured men at the hospital.
Liu Shiyi stamped his foot and hurried over with a worried look, "You've caused a huge trouble, my dear!"
I twitched my mouth, speechless. Damn, we're both men, can't you stop being so weird?
"How are you feeling..." Chen Weiqiang and Spanner came over, each supporting one of my arms.
I breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on them, and smiled bitterly, "It's just external injuries, I can manage."
With Tang Tian and the others around, it wasn't convenient for me to say more.
Mao Dinglun looked at me strangely, probably shocked by my Iron Mountain Lean move.
Chen Weiqiang wanted to take me away, "Let's go back to the dorm and rest. We'll deal with whatever comes next."
But Liu Shiyi stopped us, "Tang Tian, who let Niubaoguo into the park?"
Tang Tian shook his head, "I don't know. I ran into them on the way here. They didn't say they were here to fight. I thought they were here to sign a contract with a big boss."
"You, you, you're in big trouble! If they die, Shakaman will go crazy. How will you handle that?"
"Supervisor, what if they had killed me? How would you handle that? Would Ning Ge and Professor Ace spare you?"
"Stop arguing and go rest! Tang Tian, Alun, you two come with me to town to see Professor Ace!"
Liu Shiyi seemed genuinely shocked by what had happened and surprisingly didn't punish me, instead sending me to rest in the dorm. He hurriedly took Tang Tian and Mao Dinglun away from the park...
Before leaving, Tang Tian left one of his lackeys to watch over Swallow.
The other onlookers were driven away by the lackey, restoring the usual deathly silence around us.
"Let's get back to the dorm!" I grabbed their arms, my body weakening and almost collapsing.
"I'll carry you!" Spanner hoisted me onto his back and quickly walked towards the dorm building.
Fighting four at once had drained my energy. Though they hadn't hurt me much, I still took a few punches and kicks.
Thai fighters have tough bones and fists, and my own fists and feet took some damage hitting them.
Now that the adrenaline was wearing off, all I felt was pain and exhaustion.
If I hadn't been in decent shape lately, I might have been beaten to a pulp.
Once in my dorm, Swallow, eyes filled with tears, asked, "Ping An, what do we do now?"
Chen Weiqiang closed the door, "We'll deal with whatever comes. We'll see what fate has in store for us."
Spanner put me on the bed and went to get some ointment, bruising pills, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
I lay on the bed, sighing, "Don't worry, I won't die. Professor Ace won't let Shakaman take me out. Otherwise, all his efforts would be wasted."
In the past, I would have been doomed, but now things were different. Professor Ace had bet big on me and wouldn't let anything happen to me.
Besides, Ning Ge needed me to secure his empire. If I were taken by Shakaman, how would he gather followers and recruit fighters in the future?
Swallow knelt by the bed, clutching my hand, sobbing, "Ping An, where does it hurt? Should we go to the hospital?"
Seeing her concerned eyes and tears, I felt a warmth in my heart, thinking of my dear mother.
I smiled bitterly, "No need, a couple of days' rest will do."
"What if they come for revenge? I'll ask Ning Ge to release you..."
"No, this is KK Park, not an outside shop. They can't take me away. I crippled them today, so Professor Ace and Ning Ge will come to me. Don't say anything, or you'll get in trouble too."
"But I don't want to see you hurt, please!" Swallow cried, "You're my only family here. I don't trust anyone else but you! I don't want you to die!"
"Sis, if you keep crying, I really will die."
"Ah, then I won't cry!" Swallow quickly wiped her tears, ruining her carefully applied makeup.
Spanner came over with the medicine, "Swallow, you should fix your makeup. I'll take care of him. It wouldn't look good if Ning Ge saw this."
Swallow realized her disheveled state and quickly stood up, grabbing her purse to fix her makeup by the window.
Chen Weiqiang leaned against the door, whispering, "When Professor Ace comes, you need to pretend to be really sick..."
