The moment Lily lunged out, Hao Ren could not help but think to himself: would he go down the path of no return as a bully? People said that all bullies started as dog owners abetting their dogs to bite when things did not go their way. But he had pondered it carefully; he felt that he was in no such danger of becoming one. After all, Lily would still bite without abetment.
Hao Ren knew that things would unfold this way from the very beginning. The real world was not a manga. It was impossible that two persons are getting together, talking about love and justice, and they would understand each other. Dialogue would not solve conflicts all the time. When negotiation failed, a confrontation was inevitable. Especially when both sides had different worldviews, there would be little common ground.
