Chapter 72

In the afternoon, Zhan Yi contacted Mo Bei of the Moer tribe, wanting to inquire about Mai's whereabouts. He also briefly explained the reasons for his departure, as Mo Bei was Mai's father. If he could persuade her, Zhan Yi believed he could gain Mai's forgiveness more quickly.

Mo Bei quickly expressed his support and understanding after hearing Zhan Yi's words, and promptly told him where Mai was staying in City N. This made Zhan Yi extremely excited. After expressing his gratitude, he decided to go find Mai alone in the evening, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding with a physical approach.

However, just as he had walked out of the school gate not far, a group of people blocked his way. The leader, a tall and strong middle-aged man, looked at Zhan Yi with disdain and said, "Kid, you're Zhan Yi, right?"

Zhan Yi looked at the formation in front of him. There were about ten people, each holding an iron bar. He had already guessed that they were sent by Zhao Guang to seek revenge. So he replied without much enthusiasm, "Yes, I'm your Lord Zhan. What do you want?"

"Damn, kid, you're pretty cocky. You still call yourself Lord in front of me, Li Si? You don't even know who calls me 'Fourth Brother' on this street? I... " Li Si seemed surprised that Zhan Yi could remain so calm in front of so many people, and couldn't help but get angry.

"Go to hell, whether you're Li Si, Wang Wu, or some random punk, get to the point. I'm very busy." Zhan Yi didn't wait for him to finish and interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Good kid, you're really asking for it. You provoked Young Master Zhao Guang and still act so cocky here. Brothers, beat him up." Li Si couldn't take it anymore, and swung his iron bar at Zhan Yi.

Zhan Yi watched Li Si's attack, a slight evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Without dodging, he reached out and grabbed the iron bar, pulled it towards himself, and kicked Li Si away. A scream of pain echoed as Li Si flew like a brick and crashed into the people behind him, knocking down two or three of them. When he fell to the ground, he landed on someone's stomach.

The rest of the group was stunned. They never expected Zhan Yi to disarm Li Si so quickly, and the power and speed of that kick were so extreme that it sent the heavy Li Si flying.

But Zhan Yi didn't stop. He knew that when dealing with these gangsters who bully the weak, if you fight, you must be ruthless. Otherwise, they would come back for more.

The iron bar in his hand swung like a tiger among sheep, and in no time, he had knocked all the guys to the ground, leaving them bruised and bleeding.

Zhan Yi looked at them, took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then approached Li Si with the iron bar. By now, Li Si was already terrified, never expecting Zhan Yi to be so powerful, able to take on ten people so easily.

Zhan Yi looked at him disdainfully, took a puff of the cigarette, and said with a cold laugh, "Ha, Fourth Brother, right? Do you think I'm easy to bully? Today, I'll break your legs so you can taste what it's like to be bullied."

"Ah, Lord Zhan, please spare me, don't break my legs." Li Si's face turned pale with fear. As a professional gangster, he knew the consequences of having his legs broken. Not only would he lose his status, but no one would treat him as a person anymore.

"You're too late to say that now." Zhan Yi said, and swung the iron bar at Li Si's legs. After a few strikes, Li Si screamed like a pig being slaughtered and soon fainted from the pain.

Zhan Yi casually threw the cigarette on his face and stepped on him, waking him up again. Li Si was now in despair and looked at Zhan Yi with hatred, saying, "Kid, kill me, or I'll haunt you as a ghost."

"Ha, I didn't expect you to threaten me. I was going to spare your legs, but now, to prevent you from seeking revenge, I'll break them." Zhan Yi said and struck again.

"Ah... I won't, I won't, please stop." Li Si screamed again, but this time he had no more courage.

"Call Zhao Guang now and tell him to come here. You know what to say, right?" Zhan Yi looked at him, stopped hitting him, and pointed the iron bar at his crotch.

"Okay... don't move, Lord Zhan. Actually, there's no need to call. Young Master Zhao is waiting in the alley. He said he would come out after you're beaten." Li Si felt the iron bar pressing against his private parts and quickly revealed the truth.

"Alright, you can go now, but don't let me see you again, or you'll be responsible for the consequences." Zhan Yi's eyes lit up, and he said to the group on the ground before walking towards the nearby alley.

Soon, he saw Zhao Guang in the alley, his face still swollen from the beating. Seeing Zhan Yi approach, Zhao Guang was terrified and didn't know what to do. He wanted to run but realized it was a dead end. He could only stammer, "Zhan Yi, what do you want? I'm telling you, don't do anything rash. My father is the chairman of Dadian Group."

"Hehe... Don't be afraid, Ah Guang. We're classmates, I wouldn't hurt you. I just want to give you a gift." Zhan Yi walked up to Zhao Guang, gently patted his face, and said.

"You... what kind of gift do you want to give me?" Zhao Guang saw Zhan Yi's evil smile and became even more afraid, slowly backing away.

"It's this iron bar. Look, it's strong and about three feet long. If your little thing was like this, wouldn't you be happy? Ha ha..." Zhan Yi waved the iron bar in front of Zhao Guang and laughed.

"I don't want it, you don't have to give it to me. I... I've already called for help. If you don't run, my people will definitely cripple you." Zhao Guang frantically waved his hands and revealed his last card.

"Really? But if I run, your people will come for nothing. I can't let them down, so I think it's better to wait for them to come and take you to the hospital." Zhan Yi feigned surprise and said.

He then kicked Zhao Guang in the crotch. As Zhao Guang's body flew, Zhan Yi swung the iron bar and inserted it into his body in one fluid motion, all in less than two seconds.

"Ah... It hurts so much, Zhan Yi, you'll pay for this." Zhao Guang clutched the iron bar in his crotch and screamed in pain.

"Hehe... Whether I'll pay for it or not is up to you, but let me tell you, Zhao Guang, if I find out you're plotting against me again, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in bed." Zhan Yi kicked Zhao Guang again and then turned to leave the alley.

On the way, Zhan Yi felt somewhat depressed. He knew that although he had taught Zhao Guang a lesson, this matter wouldn't end here. He didn't know what Zhao Guang would do next, so he called Lu Hu and told him about the evening's events, asking him to gather information on Zhao Guang.

Lu Hu was immediately angry: "Boss, why not just take care of that idiot? Why go through all this trouble?"

"Shut up, Ah Hu, this is the city, not the mountains. Besides, even if you take care of him, there are more people behind him. You can't eat them all, can you?" Zhan Yi said irritably.

"Boss, it's no problem to eat them all. What are you afraid of?" Lu Hu didn't seem to care.

"Ah... Ah Hu, know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated. Do you really think we're invincible? Fine, let Da Bao explain it to you. I think he can make it clear to you." Zhan Yi sighed and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Zhan Yi felt a bit more at ease. Although he didn't know the full extent of Zhao Guang's power, he believed Lu Hu would soon find out some useful information. His main focus now was to resolve things with Mai. With this in mind, he quickened his pace towards the place Mo Bei had told him Mai was staying.
