As the gunshot rang out, several people who had already rushed to Peng Liu's side instantly froze in place.
The helmeted man in the lead was already crying out in agony.
The others, however, retreated several steps in unison as fear and surprise filled their eyes, seemingly not expecting the three men to be armed.
Or perhaps, they just never thought someone would dare fire a gun in the market street.
After all, there were rules here.
Now the rules were broken.
The fallen helmeted man became the sacrificial lamb declaring this transgression.
Yet, these people didn't run away in fear due to the sudden gunshot or their fallen comrade; after a moment of shock, one of them pointed at Peng Liu and stuttered:
"You, you, you, do you know who his uncle is!"
"You dare shoot him?"
The others, hearing this, seemed to find their backbone.
The panic on their faces quickly dissipated.
They chimed in:
"Idiot, do you realize the trouble you're in?"
