This guy was the driver of the nomad. After he came out, he stood in the shadow by the inner side of the car door. He didn't speak, but he was still hard to ignore.
Because, the nomad was such a loyal green leaf that the more hunched he became, the more heroic and extraordinary this guy appeared.
Tang Chong's sense of crisis made him categorize this person as a 'dangerous character' at first glance. He could feel that this guy's quiet exterior hid a strong fighting spirit.
Sure enough, after receiving the nomad's order, he revealed his violent nature and sharp claws.
He roared and pounced like a leopard, slashing at Tang Chong's neck with a chopping palm.
A deadly move!
Tang Chong's eyes turned cold, but he didn't move from his spot.
Because, there was a woman in front of him.
Su Shan moved lightly in front of Tang Chong, cutting off the short-haired guy's attack route.
"You—" The guy was furious. Not hurting someone with a punch or drawing blood with a sword was the most demoralizing. More frustrating was that he had to forcibly retract his palm halfway through. This not only demoralized him but also hurt his body.
If it were another woman, he might have ruthlessly slashed down. He would rather hurt others than himself.
The problem was, he knew this woman was the nomad's favorite. Moreover, she might be the woman the nomad would marry in the future.
Given the nomad's temper, which could turn on a dime, if he hit the nomad's woman in front of him, the nomad might go berserk.
Even with a belly full of anger, he couldn't vent it on this beautiful woman.
Su Shan ignored his murderous gaze and looked at the nomad, saying, "Isn't this going too far?"
She knew how the nomad's reputation was built. He would attack anyone who disagreed with him, often breaking their limbs. Because of his physical deformity, he was particularly enthusiastic about damaging others' bodies.
When Tang Chong said, "Compared to your name, your appearance is even more low-key," she knew the nomad would seek revenge.
No one dared to mock his appearance, and no one who mocked his appearance went unpunished.
Sure enough, the nomad, who had been warmly recruiting others to do his bidding, suddenly had someone break Tang Chong's leg. No one was more twisted than him.
"Too far?" The nomad smiled at Su Shan. He could maintain a gentle attitude with the women he liked. Although his smile was a bit ugly, at least he was always smiling. "I originally wanted to break both his legs, but I thought that was too much. If I break both his legs, he'll have to use a wheelchair. I want to see him limping, just as he likes to see me in my current state."
"Mr. You, we just met today. Besides, he said he's not my type. There's no need for you to be angry over him," Su Shan said calmly. Then her tone became firm. "Moreover, who I date has nothing to do with you."
"Su Shan, you don't understand," the nomad said with a smile. "Before, it was related to you. I said you're the woman I like. I don't like anyone standing next to you. That's a normal reaction for a man who's jealous, and I think you can understand. But now, the situation has changed. He offended me, and I want him to pay. The situation is much simpler now. So, please step aside. You have no right to interfere."
"Since I'm here, I have even less reason to step aside," Su Shan said firmly. "As you said, at least he was standing next to me just now."
"Su Shan." Su Shan's persistence finally enraged the nomad. His expression twisted, and he growled, "Are you challenging my patience?"
"I'm just doing what I should," Su Shan said calmly.
"I like you, but I don't mind destroying you," the nomad threatened. "I said, women are just flowers, medals. Who cares if a flower is destroyed or a medal is lost?"
"I am Su Shan. Whoever dares to touch me will pay," Su Shan said firmly.
"I don't believe it," the nomad sneered. "I think if I destroy you, many people will thank me."
"Many people will also hate you," a man's voice said from behind.
As the footsteps approached, a handsome man, elegant like a prince, slowly walked over.
He walked to Su Shan's side, looked at the nomad, and said, "At least, I will be one of them."
"Hate? What's the use of hate? What can hate do?" the nomad scoffed. "Hate can kill, can restore a country, but only with the backing of powerful force. Just having hate is not enough."
"It seems our Lu family is not worth mentioning in your eyes," Lu Junzhuo said coldly.
"You, Lu Junzhuo, are not worth mentioning in front of me," the nomad said bluntly. "Why should I fear the hate of a waste? Do I need to take a rat seriously? Even if it can bite through my shoes and steal some food, it's only because I haven't been serious. A packet of rat poison or a trap can solve all problems."
"Now I'm glad you refused to join the Red Eagle," Lu Junzhuo said with a light laugh. "Because then, we can only be opponents. Opponents for life."
"You're not worthy."
"Some things can't be denied. They are there," Lu Junzhuo said, glancing at Su Shan. "Just for that sentence, should I also work harder in the future?"
Seeing the three of them engage in a verbal battle, Tang Chong suddenly felt like an outsider.
Their level and his level were completely different.
His bearded father was just a warden in Hateshan Prison, while their families might be 'leaders.'
"This isn't fun anymore," Tang Chong thought.
A fully equipped classic warrior might not even be a match for an NPC because they have the power to set the rules. He was only 'limited.'
With Su Shan's protector here, there was probably nothing left for him to do.
"I'll see you off here," Tang Chong said to Su Shan with a smile, then turned to leave.
Hua Ming and Liang Tao were still behind. If he walked faster, he might get half a bottle of beer, a few skewers of lamb kidneys, or a grilled chicken wing. That was his life, his world.
"I think you need to wait a bit longer," the nomad said, trying to keep him.
He looked at Lu Junzhuo and said, "If you hadn't appeared, I would have held back for Su Shan's sake. But now that you're here, it's a matter of a man's dignity. Everything else can be given up, but not this."
"I don't mind watching a good show," Lu Junzhuo said, shrugging nonchalantly.
Lu Junzhuo only cared about Su Shan. Tang Chong?
Sorry, he hadn't even noticed Tang Chong.
The nomad gestured to the short-haired man and said, "If you haven't forgotten what I said, you can act now."
"Of course," the short-haired man responded, passing by Su Shan and heading straight for Tang Chong.
The fact that the nomad still let him act in this situation proved that he would knock down anyone who stood in front of him, including Su Shan.
Tang Chong was also angry.
He only had two legs, both of which were essential. This guy wanted to take one without even asking for his opinion?
He stared at the nomad and said, "If I get the chance, I don't mind breaking one of your legs, but not the second one, because I don't like you in a wheelchair. I like seeing you walk the way you do now."
The nomad was already limping. Now he only had one leg left. Tang Chong said he would break the leg that wasn't the second one, which meant the 'third leg.'
"I'm waiting," the nomad said with a smile.
He wasn't afraid of Tang Chong's threat. Which adult would fear a child's grandiose words?
"Maybe you won't have the chance," the short-haired man growled, clenching his fist and punching at Tang Chong's face.
The previous palm strike was incomplete, and using it again would be old.
Whoosh
A strong wind rushed toward him, as if a sharp object was scraping his face.
Tang Chong was shocked again.
This guy was so young, yet he could exert external force to such a degree, and with such strength, proving he had put in a lot of hard work.
He took a step back.
The other party was in full momentum, and he didn't need to clash head-on.
The punch pushed Tang Chong back, and the short-haired man's arrogance grew. His left hand had already transformed into a 'small grappling' technique to grab Tang Chong's body, and his right hand punched at Tang Chong's face again.
Whoosh
Another strong wind.
Tang Chong took another step back.
"Coward," the short-haired man cursed, then clenched both fists, one aimed at Tang Chong's face and the other at his chest.
This time, Tang Chong didn't back down.
His hands shot out like lightning.
This move was called 'The Eagle Catches the Rabbit,' a simple move with a simple name.
The Big Boss taught him this and told him to practice it more.
At the time, he thought the move was too simple and the name too crude, so he didn't want to practice it. The Big Boss didn't say anything, but during a sparring session, he used this move to block every one of his attacks and then counterattacked, leaving him in a miserable state.
Thus, Tang Chong realized the power of this move and practiced it diligently, making it his killer move.
Bang
As expected, the short-haired man's left fist landed in Tang Chong's right hand, and his right fist landed in Tang Chong's left hand.
This time, it was the short-haired man's turn to be shocked.
