Anos's words hung in the air, leaving the room in stunned silence. But in the next second, Leo's laughter boomed through the space, his voice dripping with mockery. "Hahaha... You don't have to pay? Are you saying that I, Leo, can't afford to offend you?" His eyes gleamed with amusement, and his lips curled into a sneer.
Anos's response was swift and unexpected. With a calm, enigmatic smile, he picked up two pieces of chalk and stuffed them into Leo's nostrils. The room fell silent once more, with all eyes fixed on the bizarre scene unfolding before them. The chalk stood out starkly against Leo's reddening face.
Leo's anger boiled over, and he pulled out the chalk, hurling it to the ground with a loud thud. "Damn you, Anos!" he bellowed, his face purpling with rage. His fists clenched, and his eyes flashed with hostility.
In an instant, more than a dozen people closed in on Anos, their faces hostile and menacing. The air was electric with tension, and it seemed like a fight was about to erupt. The students formed a semi-circle around Anos, their eyes blazing with aggression.
Mia elbowed Sasha and whispered excitedly, "Anos is going to get beaten up! Hehe." Sasha's eyes sparkled with amusement, and she snorted, "That's even better! Who told him to do whatever he wants? Hmph!" But beneath her tough exterior, a hint of worry flickered across her face. She had a nagging feeling that Anos might be more powerful than he seemed, but this was the Sky Martial Court, after all. None of the students here were weaker than Qi Building Realm Five Stars. Anos might be able to take down one or two, but what about more than a dozen?
Anos, however, didn't flinch, even when surrounded by the hostile crowd. He glanced at them with a hint of amusement, his eyes glinting with mischief. Then, he pointed at Leo and said, "So you're all following this guy? He's the boss of Class 10, right?" The students bristled at his tone, their faces reddening with anger. One of them growled, "What's wrong with Brother leo?" Anos chuckled, his voice low and husky. "Okay, okay, Brother Leo it is. So you're all following whoever's the boss? Who's behind the protection fee?" He cracked his neck, his movements fluid and relaxed, as if preparing for the fight ahead.
...
Leo sneered, his face inches from Anos's, his eyes blazing with hostility. "What, you don't like it?" he taunted, his voice dripping with malice.
Anos clicked his tongue, his expression unyielding as he looked down at Leo. "I say, you're not as tall as me, so don't act so cocky, okay? You think you're tall just because you're standing on your toes? You're still half a head shorter than me." His words were laced with amusement, but his eyes sparkled with a hint of warning.
Leo's face reddened with rage, and he snarled, "Fuck your mother!" before slapping Anos with all his might. But instead of Anos crashing to the ground, he grabbed Leo's wrist and flung him across the room with incredible force.
Leo staggered, crashing into the wall with a loud thud. The students watched in awe, their sympathetic expressions quickly turning to shock. "It's over! He's finished!" someone whispered, eyes fixed on Leo's crumpled form.
But their gazes soon shifted to Anos, who stood tall, his eyes glinting with a hint of warning. His chest rose and fell with steady breaths, his expression unyielding. The air was electric with tension, and it seemed like the fight was far from over.
Anos laughed, his voice echoing through the room with a hint of triumph. "From now on, I'm the boss of Class 10. Hand over the money!" he declared, his eyes glinting with amusement.
Leo's face twisted in rage as he climbed to his feet, his fists clenched. "Fuck you! Charge! Cripple him! How dare a newcomer be so arrogant!" he snarled, leading the charge. The group rushed towards Anos, their faces contorted with anger and hostility.
But their attack was short-lived. In the blink of an eye, they were flying through the air, crashing into walls, tables, and the floor with a series of loud thuds and groans. The sound of wailing and moaning filled the room as they fell, one by one, in less than ten seconds.
When the dust settled, Anos stood tall, unscathed, surrounded by the moaning figures of his attackers. His eyes gleamed with a hint of satisfaction, his expression unyielding. The students watched in awe, their eyes wide with shock and fear, unsure of what to make of the sudden turn of events.
The room was left in stunned silence, with everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief. "What the...?!" they exclaimed, their minds struggling to comprehend the scene before them. Although Anos hadn't seemed to exert his full strength, he had effortlessly taken down the group with precision and speed.
All they saw were Anos's fists and feet landing on their opponents' bodies, followed by the sound of groans and screams. Almost everyone who was hit by Anos's punch or kick fell to the side, clutching their stomachs in agony. Leo's mouth was agape, his eyes wide with shock. "This person is so fierce?!" he whispered.
Mia turned to Sasha, her voice filled with awe. "Wow, Sasha, Anos is incredibly powerful! He can take down more than ten Qi Building Realm five-stars with ease. What's his realm? It can't be just two stars!" Because Anos had previously beaten up the five-star Jayden, they had assumed his realm was around seven stars. But now, it seemed like his true power was far more complex.
Sasha's eyes sparkled with realization, her gaze fixed on Anos with newfound respect. She too understood that Anos was not a simple opponent, and his true strength was yet to be revealed.
...
Anos surveyed the room, his gaze lingering on the wailing figures before finally settling on Leo. "What about you? Surrender or face the consequences?" he asked, his voice firm and commanding.
Leo gritted his teeth, his finger shaking with rage as he pointed at Anos. "Don't get too cocky! Do you know who I'm affiliated with? I'm under Brother David's wing! You'd better show some respect!" he snarled.
Anos repeated his question, his tone unyielding. "Surrender or get beaten up?"
Leo cursed, his body radiating a golden light as he activated his Metal attribute, boosting his defense and attack capabilities. The crowd watched in awe, expecting a fierce battle.
But instead, Anos remained stationary, throwing a single punch to meet Leo's attack. The result was astonishing - Leo flew back like a rubber ball, crashing into the wall with incredible force and creating a hole in it. The crowd gasped, stunned by Anos's overwhelming power.
"Damn, that's one tough punch," Anos muttered, shaking his hand. The crowd was left speechless, wondering what kind of strength could shatter a wall with a single blow.
Leo, still reeling from the attack, slowly got to his feet, clutching his stomach in agony. His mind was racing with shock and disbelief. As a Metal attribute user, his defense was supposed to be robust, but Anos's punch had overwhelmed him. It was clear that Anos was far stronger than him, likely at a higher realm.
Leo's anger and humiliation boiled over as he pointed at Anos, his voice trembling with rage. "Just you wait!" he snarled, before turning and fleeing the scene, his pride wounded and his body battered.
Anos didn't bother to watch Leo flee. Instead, he turned to the people beside him and said, "From now on, call me Brother Anos." Before he could even finish speaking, one of the men behind him launched a fiery attack, throwing a punch at Anos.
With a nonchalant expression, Anos half-turned and slapped the attacker, sending him flying to the ground with a loud thud. The others couldn't help but gulp as they gazed at the screaming figure.
"Big brother Anos!" they chorused, hastily pledging their allegiance. "We'll follow you from now on!" One of them added, "Big brother Anos, we didn't want to attack you. It's all Leo Guner's fault."
Anos revealed a satisfied smile, pleased with the sudden turn of events. He then sat down in Leo's seat, crossing his legs on the table with an air of confidence and authority.
"So, now you know what to do, right?" Anos said, making a gesture of counting money with a sly smile.
"I know, I know," the others replied in unison, eager to appease their new leader.
Anos continued, "Previously, all of you paid five thousand yuan, but for me, all of you will pay four thousand yuan. Are you grateful?"
The others hastily replied, "I don't dare to be ungrateful, I don't dare to be ungrateful."
Anos raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Hmm? Not grateful?"
The others quickly corrected themselves, "Ah... We dare not be ungrateful... We dare not be ungrateful!"
After a few seconds, Anos grinned, satisfied with the fear and respect he inspired. He held up a thick stack of money, his eyes gleaming with pleasure.
"Big brother Anos, have some tea. It's freshly brewed," Adam, a lackey, said, presenting Anos with a steaming cup.
Anos took a sip, savoring the flavor. "Not bad, not bad! This boss life is really comfortable!" He leaned back, looking pleased.
Then, he raised his hand and waved, his eyes fixed on Mia, who was standing behind him. "You, little chested girl, come over and massage my legs."
A notification popped up in Anos's mind: "Ding... Successfully Angered Mia. Scumbag Value + 10000. Mission Progress: 80%."
Mia's face turned beet red with rage as she exclaimed, "How dare you order me around! I'm still a rich young miss, after all!" She remained seated, her arms crossed and her eyes flashing with indignation.
Sasha quickly intervened, trying to calm Mia down. "Mia, don't let your emotions get the better of you. Ignore him and don't give him the satisfaction." But Mia was too far gone, her anger and pride taking over.
"I've had enough of being nice!" Mia exclaimed, her voice rising in indignation. "Anos, you're going down! I'm not going to hold back anymore!" She shot Anos a fierce glance, her eyes flashing with determination and anger.
A notification popped up in Anos's mind, acknowledging his successful provocation. "Ding... Host has angered little sister. This is considered a scumbag move. Scumbag Value + 50000. Mission Progress: 90%."
.....
The students in the adjacent classroom were engaged in a heated discussion, boasting about their accomplishments, when suddenly they were interrupted by a cacophony of sounds coming from Class 10. The loud roars, followed by the shattering of tables and chairs, echoed through the hallway, leaving everyone in stunned silence.
Their curiosity piqued, they were about to rush out and investigate the commotion when they saw Sofia walking towards Class 10, a look of confusion etched on her face. She too wondered what was happening in Class 10. Why was it so noisy?
As Sofia approached the classroom, her eyes grew wide with astonishment. Her small mouth dropped open in shock at the scene unfolding before her. The room was in disarray, with furniture overturned and students scattered everywhere.
