The nouveau riche's hired thugs, upon hearing that they could double their money, charged at Liu Chen without any courtesy, their fists clenched, and roaring like beasts on steroids.
"Money is the root of all evil." That's the truth of it.
The nouveau riche watched his thugs rush at Liu Chen, his laughter filled with smug satisfaction.
"He's done for!"
The onlookers could only think this; earlier they'd been scolded by Liu Chen. While reflecting on their own behaviors, they also harbored some resentment towards him. Now, seeing Liu Chen getting beat up by a bunch of thugs, they felt a sense of relief deep inside.
That's just how pragmatic people are.
Liu Chen watched the thugs charging at him, a calm expression on his face, a smile playing at his lips. He didn't hesitate to fight back.
