Chapter 9

Amidst the laughter and chatter, time passed quickly.

The bar was filled with pulsating music, and the atmosphere was hot, as everyone gradually got into the swing of things.

At this moment, Xu Jie, Bai Wei, and Yu Hao were playing a game of Truth or Dare.

The three of them decided by palm or back of the hand!

The game had already gone through several rounds, with wins and losses, and they had shared some interesting but harmless truths.

Those who didn't want to speak chose the dare.

The most amusing time was when Yu Hao dared Bai Wei to flirt with a girl.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Wei actually succeeded!

The unfortunate girl, who was chosen, blushed furiously, and everyone burst into laughter.

This time, it was Yu Hao's turn.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei laughed heartily.

Then Xu Jie came up with a bad idea, asking Yu Hao to reveal the object of his first wet dream.

This question made Yu Hao's face turn as red as a pig's liver.

Wang Teng smiled and shook his head; he didn't participate, as he had too many secrets, and playing such a game could easily backfire.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei urged and cheered from the side, pressing Yu Hao to speak.

Wang Teng stood up and went to the restroom.

After eating the star beast meat, his metabolism improved, helping to expel impurities from his body.

Moreover, the smell of smoke in the bar made his nicotine craving worse.

In his previous life, he didn't know when he started, but he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't smoke for a day, and he couldn't quit even if he wanted to.

A moment later, he came out of the restroom and bought a pack of cheap cigarettes outside.

He wasn't used to good cigarettes yet!

Wang Teng, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked towards Xu Jie and the others.

Just as he approached, he noticed that they were surrounded by a few people, and Xu Jie and Yu Hao seemed to be arguing with them.

These people looked rough, with earrings and tattoos, giving off an air of "don't mess with me."

Wang Teng frowned.

At this moment, one of them pushed Xu Jie and cursed, "Damn, this little girl got my clothes dirty. You think an apology will make it all better?"

"Do you know how much this shirt costs?"

"Can you afford to pay for it?"

"A bunch of kids, trying to act like adults in a bar."

The others laughed, their faces showing mockery.

Yu Hao and the others had never experienced such humiliation.

They were rich second-generation kids, pampered and always the center of attention wherever they went.

If it were someone of higher status, they might have endured the slight, but these were clearly just some low-level thugs.

If they were really bullied by such people, it would become a laughingstock among other rich second-generation circles.

Xu Jie, who had been pushed, looked even more serious.

Despite his usual carefree and confident demeanor, he wasn't a mindless person.

At this moment, the other side clearly had more people, and there was a girl among them.

If a conflict broke out, they would definitely be the ones to suffer.

Moreover, this was the era of martial arts. Some people might look ordinary, but what if they were experts?

That could be fatal!

So he took a deep breath and said calmly, "Gentlemen, even if we dirtied your clothes, we can pay for it. There's no need to make a big deal out of it."

"Are you really trying to escalate this?"

"Everyone here saw what happened. Even if we call the police, we would be in the right."

"Damn, you want to call the police, threatening me, are you?"

The young man whose clothes were dirtied was in his twenties, with a hooked nose and a sinister look, clearly a tough guy. He thought Xu Jie was threatening him and started cursing.

"Xu Jie, why are you wasting time with him? This bastard is just looking for trouble. It wasn't Bai Wei who bumped into him; he deliberately walked over when Bai Wei stood up, making her bump into him," Yu Hao said angrily.

"Kid, don't say things without evidence," the sinister young man sneered.

"You know what happened, deep down," Yu Hao pointed at him.

The sinister young man looked impatient and coldly said, "Less talk. Let this girl have a few drinks with us, and we'll let it go. Otherwise... hehe."

"What did you say? Say that again, and I'll kill you!" Yu Hao exploded.

These people wanted Bai Wei to drink with them, and their intentions were clear.

This really enraged him.

Xu Jie inwardly cursed, "Oh no!"

The other side was clearly setting a trap, and Yu Hao's outburst made the situation irreconcilable.

"Yu Hao, stop it!" Bai Wei had been pulling Yu Hao, but he broke free.

She could feel the tension in the air.

"Little brat, you want to kill me? I'll kill you first today."

The sinister young man sneered, took a step forward, and grabbed Yu Hao's neck with hands like eagle claws.

His move was ruthless, aiming for a fatal strike.

"Martial Disciple!"

Someone exclaimed in shock.

Yu Hao's face changed drastically, not only because the other side attacked without warning but also because he was a Martial Disciple.

In a panic, he didn't have the courage to face the attack head-on and dodged to the side.

Fortunately, Yu Hao had been practicing martial arts under his father's strict supervision and was now a low-level Martial Disciple. Otherwise, if he were an ordinary person, he would have been frozen in fear.

The bar immediately fell into chaos.

Xu Jie quickly pulled Bai Wei away; they weren't martial artists and couldn't help at all.

The sinister young man was slightly surprised that Yu Hao could dodge but didn't take it seriously. He twisted his body and swept a leg at Yu Hao.

Yu Hao grabbed a nearby chair to block the attack.

Bang!

The metal chair was bent by the sinister young man's kick.

Yu Hao was thrown back by the powerful force and crashed to the ground.

Tables and chairs were knocked over, and bottles shattered on the floor. The bar was in complete disarray.

Men and women screamed and fled to the far side.

But many didn't leave; instead, they watched from a distance.

"Cough, cough!" Yu Hao clutched his chest, feeling like his ribs were broken.

He knew he had met his match!

He was a new Martial Disciple, and from the strength of the other side, he was also a low-level Martial Disciple, but close to mid-level.

The sinister young man retracted his leg and slowly approached Yu Hao.

"Kid, you were so arrogant just now, wanting to kill me. You don't have the strength."

The sinister young man stepped closer, forcing Yu Hao into a corner, and looked down at him mockingly.

"If you touch me, my father won't let you off," Yu Hao said through gritted teeth, his face pale.

"Kid, when you can't win, you call your dad. You're still a baby," the sinister young man sneered.

"You!"

Yu Hao's face turned bright red.

Xu Jie couldn't stand by and watch his friend be humiliated. He stepped forward and said, "We admit we were wrong today. Name your price, and we'll pay."

The sinister young man shook his finger and made a tsking sound, his face full of disdain.

"Kid, today I'll teach you a lesson. Don't stick your neck out if you don't have the ability."

The sinister young man raised his right foot and kicked Yu Hao's head viciously.

Some people closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei's faces changed drastically.

This kick would seriously injure Yu Hao, and if it hit his head, it could be fatal.

They never expected the sinister young man to be so ruthless.

Bang!

A heavy impact sounded.

But Yu Hao remained standing, unharmed, while the sinister young man was thrown back and crashed into the wall.

"Spit!" He fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone, including Xu Jie and Bai Wei, and the other bar patrons, were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

They all stared at Wang Teng, who stood in front of Yu Hao.

He had one hand in his pocket and a cigarette in his mouth, saying calmly, "When did it become your turn to teach my friend a lesson?"

As he spoke, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

When the sinister young man fell, several attribute bubbles dropped.

"Can attributes drop like this?"

Wang Teng suppressed his curiosity, as there were too many people around, and he didn't move forward.

"Bro, Brother Wang Teng!"

Yu Hao, who had just recovered, stammered.

Xu Jie and Bai Wei also looked at Wang Teng in amazement, as if they were seeing him for the first time.

"Still on the ground? It's cold there," Wang Teng laughed and scolded.

"Brother Wang Teng, I didn't expect you to be so strong!" Bai Wei ran over, a glint of admiration in her eyes.

"Bro, you're my real big brother. You really kept this a secret from us," Xu Jie exclaimed excitedly.

"Enough, stop shouting. When did I keep secrets from you? You never asked," Wang Teng said helplessly.

"Damn, you dare to hit me? Get him, kill this little brat!"

The sinister young man got up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and glared at his companions.

"Bro, this guy is too strong. We can't handle him," one of them said fearfully.

They hadn't even seen Wang Teng move, and the near-mid-level Martial Disciple had been thrown back. What could they, who weren't Martial Disciples, do?

"Useless!" The sinister young man kicked the man and said to Wang Teng, "Kid, if you have the guts, give me your name. I'll call for backup."

At this moment, Wang Teng suddenly stepped forward, scaring the sinister young man back a few steps.

Wang Teng casually touched the attribute bubbles and picked them up.

[Strength * 15]

[Speed * 12]

"So much!"

Wang Teng was surprised. This was the most he had ever received from one person at once.

"Beating monsters for attributes!"

"Is this the right way to use my golden finger?"

He dismissed the thought, as the timing was wrong. Now wasn't the time to think about it.

Wang Teng smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? My name is Li Rongcheng. You have half an hour to call for backup. I'll be waiting."

"Fine, I'll be waiting."

The sinister young man left the Rose Bar with his group.

Once they were gone, Bai Wei couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother Wang Teng, you're so bad, making Li Rongcheng take the blame. He'll hate you if he finds out!"

Wang Teng shrugged.

"Let's go home!"

"Aren't we waiting for them to come back?" Yu Hao asked, unwillingly.

Wang Teng slapped his head. "Have you gone stupid from practicing martial arts? Who knows how many people they'll bring? What if there's a high-level Martial Disciple or even a Martial Artist? We'd be sitting ducks."

"You're right. You were too impulsive this time. If it weren't for Brother Wang Teng, you'd be in big trouble," Xu Jie added.

"Let's go. If they want to find someone, let them find Li Rongcheng. I'm not Li Rongcheng."

Wang Teng and the others left the bar, got into their car, and disappeared into the night. It would be a matter of luck if the group could find him.

As for what would happen if they did find him, that was anyone's guess...
