But the crowd in front of him did not lack pretending skills as well.
They too pretended not to hear his words and none of them moved aside, effectively blocking his way into the school compound.
They wanted to watch a good show!
"Gordon! What is wrong with you? Stop being such a bully!" Feng Xia's sweet voice could be heard behind him.
"Feng Xia, go out with me later. I'll buy you dinner." Gordon said calmly as though he hadn't heard her words.
"Huh? No, I am busy tonight." Feng Xia rejected him without a second thought.
"Then you should go to class and stay out of my business here." Gordon's face turned even gloomier than before.
He became even more determined to teach the little punk a lesson.
"You!" Feng Xia raised her voice in exasperation.
"Goddess Feng Xia, you should accept Gordon's kind intentions. It's just a dinner right? It's not like you're being forced to do something evil or unlawful. How about this, accept his dinner invitation, and I will try and persuade him not to give that little midget too much trouble." The gravelly voice of another probably over-gymed hunk sounded out.
There was a brief pause at that moment.
"Heh? Is the Goddess actually considering accepting that gravelly voice's suggestion?" Jordan Lin thought in disbelief.
Shuaa.
A surge of heat coursed through the blood vessels around his mouth at that moment and compelled him to walk towards Feng Xia, Gordon and his goons.
It's back. My luck is back! Let's goo!!
"Ai. I actually wanted to go back to class and give these punks a chance to avoid making the biggest mistake of their lives. But they actually tried to snivel off a dinner date from the Goddess in such a despicable manner.
How disgusting!
How embarrassing!
It's so low class that I am actually shivering from second hand embarrassment!
Brrrr!!
Is this truly how the Captain of our school team acts? Shamelessly asking for a date after being thrashed so badly in the National High School Basketball Championship?
Ah! Ah! This is so embarrassing!
So embarrassing!!
I really have no choice but to step in and teach these clowns a lesson!"
Jordan Lin's tongue started to work at full speed even as he made his way towards Gordon.
At six feet two, Gordon was the biggest of the bunch. But the four goons around him weren't dwarves either. They were only around an inch or two shorter than him.
Like him, they had their Baltech High School basketball jerseys on and were very muscular.
And at that moment, all five of them were looking at him with furious looks on their faces!
Next to them, the Goddess actually raised her dainty hand and gave herself a facepalm.
Bro, are you really suicidal? Do you really want today to be your death anniversary? You… You actually… Haiya. Haiyaaaa!
"You punk. You won't live through this morning. My surname is not Huat if you are still standing when the school bell rings!" Gordon growled with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
He clenched his fist and started to walk towards Jordan Lin.
Instantly, the crowd reacted and started shouting.
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
"Your surname is not what? I didn't quite catch that." Jordan Lin was still running his mouth fearlessly.
"Huat! My surname is Huat! Remember that and regret being born!" Gordon shouted and lowered his body in preparation to charge.
"What? Your name is Gordon What? That's a very strange name." Jordan Lin was still feeling the heat around his mouth and continued to spout out anything and everything that came to his mind.
"I can already imagine you at an interview!
What is your name?
Gordon Huat.
Gordon what?
Huat.
Yeah! I asked you Gordon what?
My name is Gordon Huat!
Stop playing around! What is your full name!
My full name is Gordon Huat!
…. Get out of my office!"
He even laughed loudly!
Fight!
Fight…
Fight… …
… … …
The crowd's shouts slowly died down as they realized what Jordan Lin just did.
"Holy shit, did he just insult Gordon's family name?"
"Uhhh. I don't wanna be a witness to murder. I'm out!"
"Oh shit, class starts in 10 minutes. I have to go!"
Within seconds, the whole crowd of hundreds disappeared.
Even the school bus disappeared!
The only people left in that area were Gordon and his four goons, Feng Xia and Jordan Lin.
"Break his legs for me!" Gordon spat out a command for his goons angrily.
Instantly, the four goons exploded into action and dashed towards Jordan Lin in a burst of speed.
"No! Stopp!!" Feng Xia shouted in horror.
However, Jordan Lin stood there calmly.
There was a gathering of heat around his eyes and feet.
He knew that his Mini Luck Aura was about to strike.
Sure enough, at that very moment, three black cars pulled up at the dropoff area.
The doors burst open and men in black suits and sunglasses leapt out of the cars in dramatic fashion!
They respectfully opened the passenger door of the middle black car and waited for their boss to exit the car.
It was a big shot!
The four goons were so focused on reaching Jordan Lin as fast as they could that they did not manage to notice the change in situation.
Shua!
A blast of heat struck his eyes.
Jordan Lin saw a portion of the pavement in front of the first goon sticking out slightly.
He immediately knew what he had to do.
Jordan Lin took two small steps backwards and to his right, causing the first goon to shift his line of charge slightly.
And when he did that, the first goon immediately tripped over the small bit of pavement that was sticking out so very slightly!
The first goon's expression instantly changed from a ferocious one to one that basically said, "Ah? Oh shit!!!"
Bam!
He fell heavily to the ground!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The other three goons tripped over the first goon and fell heavily to the ground as well, right in front of Jordan Lin.
