How skilled is he?
Li Junyang glanced at it, his expression unchanged, as if his previous rage was a mask that had been removed, and he had returned to his original harmless and gentle demeanor.
“Aside from Xiaoxuan, who was ambushed by him last night, we haven’t seen him make a move.”
Li Hu's lips twitched, and a surge of anger rose in his eyes.
He already knew what happened last night. Xia Che didn't give Li Hu any face at all. In front of so many people, he slapped his girlfriend's face repeatedly, and in doing so, he also slapped his own face again.
"Never seen him in action? Then how did he get the nickname 'Knife Brother'?"
Li Junyang had decided to teach Xia Che a lesson, otherwise this person would be like a fishbone stuck in his throat, something he couldn't get rid of.
Prior to this, Li Junyang had never paid attention to such a minor character. Now that he had decided to teach him a lesson, he needed to have a basic understanding of him.
"I know that..."
Li Hu lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers, his eyes flickering with light. Clearly, even he was still a little shaken by the incident. "This kid was nobody before, I'd never heard of him. Then he went to junior high school, and one day when he was passing through the old town, he was robbed by a group of thugs."
"Xia Che did not resist at first and obediently paid the money and left. These thugs tasted the sweetness and chose to ambush him again the next day. Xia Che paid them money again."
"From then on, they developed a habit of asking Xia Che for money whenever they were short of it, which became a stable source of income for them."
"Until that day..."
Li Hu took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled the smoke heavily, as if he were expelling his lungs along with it.
"That day?"
Li Junyang's interest was piqued. From Li Hu's description, Xia Che didn't seem to be a hoodlum at first.
What exactly happened to make it like this?
Seeing Li Hu's lingering fear, Li Junyang had a vague guess that something must have happened that day to create the current tyrant of the old city—Brother Dao.
"Um...that day."
Years later, Li Hu still felt a pang of fear when the matter was mentioned again. Over the years, he had had some conflicts with Xia Che, but whenever he thought of that incident, boundless fear would instantly overwhelm him, making Li Hu unable to even entertain the slightest thought of going against Xia Che.
"Xia Che was fed up with being robbed repeatedly. On that day, he brought a short knife, which he said he bought online. He just put it in his bag and the security guard and the teacher didn't notice. He went to class with the knife all day, and then walked out of the school gate and took the initiative to find that group of thugs."
"Then what?"
Li Junyang felt a tickle in his throat. The more he listened, the more his throat itched, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
"No one knows exactly what happened in that alley. It was a late afternoon, and there was a lot of noise. The screams of panic could be heard in the surrounding streets. There was blood everywhere in the alley. It was a big commotion. Later, the police came and issued a notice. Xia Che was sent to a juvenile detention center and was detained for a week."
"Xia Che alone... killed eight people without killing anyone, but all of those thugs were injured, and even the one with the mildest symptoms spent more than a month in the hospital."
Li Hu put a cigarette to his lips, took a puff, and said, "Although we guys usually act all high and mighty and domineering, aren't we just a bunch of kids? If we're talking about hitting people, every one of us here would dare to, but if we're talking about chopping someone up... at least I wouldn't dare."
“But Xia Che dares.”
"His family seems to be quite wealthy. They lost a lot of money in compensation. It's said that because of this incident, Xia Che's parents abandoned him. We don't know exactly where he went, but since then, Xia Che has been living alone. He also comes to parent-teacher conferences alone. It seems that he has fallen out with his family."
“Those thugs are from the North District. I don’t know much about them, but I do know that after this incident, Xia Che got the nickname ‘Brother Knife,’ and nobody dares to mess with this madman.”
Li Hu shrugged. He didn't know much about Xia Che's specific situation, but that was enough to make him wary when he wanted to take action against Xia Che.
Are you scared?
Li Junyang rubbed his temples. While Xia Che's actions were terrifying to ordinary people, he was not afraid. He glanced at him, a strange light surging in his eyes.
"Afraid?"
Li Hu chuckled strangely, "I was afraid before, after all, I didn't have any deep grudges with Xia Che. We had some minor disagreements, but they were all trivial matters, and I would just let them slide. But now it's different. He doesn't give me any face, nor does he give my girlfriend any face. This grudge has really run deep."
"Besides, with Brother Yang here, what can he do?"
Putting aside the underground emperor behind Li Junyang, Li Junyang himself is an absolute master, a fourth-degree black belt. He once broke the bone of a competitor's leg with a single kick during a match. With such skills, isn't he better than someone who can only rely on a knife?
"It's good that you're not afraid."
Li Junyang nodded in satisfaction. He was indeed surprised that Xia Che had done these things, but that was all.
In the end, he was just a low-level thug...
"Tiger! We found Xia Che! He's in the internet cafe next door!"
At that moment, one of the henchmen responsible for tracking them rushed over, his face beaming with excitement.
"Very well...it's time for you to make your move!"
Li Junyang's eyes turned cold as he said coldly, "My family is very strict, so I can't participate in these street fights. But don't worry, I will pay you every penny I promised. And if anything goes wrong, whether it's black or white, I can handle the aftermath for you."
"Did you all hear me clearly?"
Li Junyang glanced at Li Hu, who exchanged a look with the purple-haired punk girl. Then Li Hu turned around and chuckled, "Don't worry, Brother Yang."
"No matter how good Xia Che is at fighting today, even if he were Ultraman, he'd still get a couple of slaps from me!"
Li Hu grinned maliciously, his expression filled with resentment. For a thug, face is the most important thing, and Xia Che's actions undoubtedly caused Li Hu to lose all his prestige in the old city.
In the past, he might have hesitated, but now that Li Junyang was backing him up, Li Hu instantly forgot all his concerns about Xia Che.
"Very well, I only have one request."
"Since I've decided to do it, I don't mind making things even bigger."
Li Junyang took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and his eyes turned cold as he spoke: "I want one of his legs."
Doesn't Xia Che like to create trouble for himself?
Then, Li Junyang wanted to see how this kid could cause trouble for him after breaking one of his legs!
No one can take away the prey they've set their sights on; no one can.
