Chapter 5 A Resolute Young Man

“Aaargh!”

The scream of Huangmao, a yellow-headed man, awoke residents nearby to see what had happened.

They knew Sanggou and his mates. So, if there were a street fight in this area or if their neighbor got into trouble, they could call the police for help in time.

Obviously, Li Ping'an didn't care about their concern.

Huangmao had already lain on the ground, without the ability to fight back, but Li Ping'an did not stop hitting him.

Bang!

He punched and kicked Huangmao around his vital parts, from knees, belly to ribs.

This was the experience he had acquired from battles during the past two years.

Even if he could not kill someone, he should quickly and effectively have his opponents fail to react.

In his view, this kind of behavior respected him and his enemy.

Huangmao, a poor two-meter-tall man weighing three hundred pounds, as strong as a bear, now, was pounded by Li Ping'an so heavily that he couldn't shout anymore but gasped.

Sanggou and his mates were all puzzled.

This round finished so quickly, lasting only a few seconds.

Tonight, they totally did not expect this result, even if they became smarter.

“Sanggou, it's your turn.”

Said Li Ping'an, with an evil smile.

Whoosh!

Before he finished his words, Li Ping'an, like a leopard, dived at Sanggou to punch him.

Li Ping'an was not powerful enough, so he was no match for Huangmao in physical strength just now, even though supported by the mysterious stone.

Luckily, having gritted his teeth to bear the pain, he grabbed this opportunity.

After defeating Huangmao, Li Ping'an was adept at controlling his speed, strength and neural reactions. Therefore, he would not let go of Sanggou.

“Sh*t!”

Sanggou was so scared that how could he face the attack by Li Ping'an?

He ran away as swiftly as a dog, shouting, “Come on! Kill him.”

Reacting to his words, his mates didn’t underestimate Li Ping'an. So, they all rushed to attack him with knives and nunchakus.

"You b*st*rd, Sanggou! Were you born in the year of the dog?"

Said Li Ping'an, ferociously spitting.

Agile as he was, he failed to catch Sanggou, because he had consumed much energy when fighting with Huangmao.

Li Ping'an did not know that Sanggou had been good at running. His speed was 30m/s. Moreover, he could speed up by the means of the wind, which was his advantage. So everyone called him Sanggou.

The weapons clanked.

Bang!

Instantly, Li Ping'an fought with these men who were in the late of the Refining Stage.

They threw their fists and weapons at Li Ping'an. It was an extremely violent scene now.

Although they were fierce and tough, they and Li Ping'an were not on a level.

At first, Li Ping'an was not accustomed to this large-scale battle. After being punched and kicked a few times, he could control his power more skillfully.

Within one minute, Li Ping'an beat some of them and even made them unable to fight back without any hesitation.

The remaining ones were frightened by Li Ping'an, so they could not resist any longer.

However, Li Ping'an did not mercy them, so he let out a yell, rushing at them.

Sanggou and his mates must know that they would pay for their attack on Li Ping'an.

Bang!

Li Ping'an punched the last man with his fist so heavily that the man was thrown out. Only Sanggou stood there, shivering with fear.

Uncle Zhong nodded, “This guy is great. His progress is apparent, even if he has no sources. If...”

"Master has a sharp eye for talented people."

At this time, in front of the French windows of a building, Jiang Zhiyan clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails pinched her palm. However, she did not notice it.

Tears filled in her bright eyes had ruined her light makeup.

She cried out of nowhere.

In her mind, there was a scene.

Under the cherry tree, white flowers showered. A young man, not strong, but tussled with a gangster, as brave as her guardian angel.

When the gangster was about to stab her with a knife, the man stood before her to protect her without any hesitation.

Instantly, blood stained white cherry flowers.

"Sh*t."

“Why did I think of this? Why did I give a bottle of five-star Nutrition Drop to that guy?”

Jiang Zhiyan blushed, biting her mouth with white teeth. However, she could not take her eyes from that man.

"Sh*t!"

"How could Li Ping'an be so fierce that he defeated these bear-like men by himself?"

Residents nearby were too stunned to believe what they had seen.

It was hard to believe that Sanggou had been defeated by Li Ping'an, a common and weak student.

Many dwellers realized that they had never known Li Ping'an, a polite young man who always greeted someone with a smile.

"Li Ping'an, calm down. I'm a member of the Underground Alliance.”

"What's more, we are on the same boat. So, Li Ping'an, why not talk with me?"

Sanggou was so frightened that he kept stepping backward, nearly cornered by Li Ping'an.

"On the same boat?"

Li Ping'an snorted, "Sanggou, you didn’t say that just now."

"Er, I..."

Sanggou was embarrassed, rolling his eyes to look around, and then said with a smile, “Ping'an, I have to do this in this situation.”

Before he finished his words, there was something vicious in his eyes.

Phew!

He suddenly took out a knife and was going to stab Li Ping'an in the stomach, ferociously shouting, “You b*st*rd, go die!"

Sanggou sneered.

The next moment, what frightened him was that Li Ping'an had anticipated this plot, so he unfolded his club to block the knife. The knife and the club clanked so heavily that the knife was knocked out.

"Ping'an, aargh."

Before Sanggou spoke out, Li Ping'an hit him on the shoulder.

Crack!

The sound of the fractured scapula was accompanied by the shout of Sanggou. His shoulder hurt so seriously that he almost fainted.

Li Ping'an grinned at and walked toward him, with his club on his shoulder. Sanggou bore the pain and begged," Ping'an, Brother Li, this is a mistake. I will explain it to you."

Li Ping'an ignored him and twisted his leg broken without any hesitation.

He looked at Sanggou with an innocent smile and said, “Sanggou, it would have been OK if you had realized your mistake earlier. Now, let's talk about compensation.”

"I..."

Sanggou nearly went crazy, because he totally did not expect this result. In his view, Li Ping'an was an evil man instead of him.

However, he had to accept it.

Even though he was angry, he could not reject him, because it was hard to expect what Li Ping'an would do.

So, he had to nod in agreement.

Not far from here, Uncle Zhong said with a smile, “This guy is so smart that Sanggou should be given a lesson from it."

At this time, his communication gadget vibrated. He quickly turned on it and respectfully answered the call.

Having restored her equilibrium, Jiang Zhiyan said, “Uncle Zhong, tell police not to come here tonight.”

“And,”

“Inform the Liu Family that I’m angry about their behavior tonight. If they made mistakes again, I would take revenge on them.”

“Yes, Master, I will do that right now.”

Uncle Zhong watched the young man who was blackmailing Sanggou and called the police. He murmured with a smile, “How lucky the guy is!”

Today, it was more convenient to transfer money than decades ago.

A few moments later, Li Ping'an had received 1.98 million yuan on his bank account. Also, he acquired many bottles of one-star or two-star low-level Nutrition Drop.

Sanggou and Huangmao were not decent, but they were rich.

Li Ping'an did not ask for their all assets, but 990 thousand yuan for each person.

It was not because he suddenly became kind-hearted to stop blackmailing them.

On the contrary, he had been in the Underground Alliance for about two years, so he knew that if someone was blackmailed by 990 thousand yuan, this behavior would be a civil dispute. If the money was more than one million, it would be a crime.

"I'm weak and poor, without the help of a backer. Otherwise, I would ask for more money to buy more Nutrition Drop that I need."

"Luckily, I have got a lot of money. With this sum of money worth 1.98 million yuan, I could have a better life for a long time."

Li Ping'an thought in mind, smiling, and looked at the telephone directory on his communication gadget.

In this situation, if he called the police, he would get into trouble, even if he could justify his behavior.

He did not wish that there would be a stain on his file.

He had been at the Underground Alliance for about two years, so he went well along with some influential leaders.

After pondering for a while, he dialed the number, "Hello! Is it Ms. Hong? This is Li Ping'an. I’m sorry to disturb you now."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ping'an let out a sigh of relief. Looking up at the starry sky, he said, "I should take part in the exam for the reserves as quickly as possible."

“The income from the Underground Alliance is rich but not enough.”

“If I passed the exam for the reserves to be a member of them, I would receive official bonuses and more tasks in the police agency.”

“It is a long-term plan.”

A sudden ring from Ms. Hong, a minister of the Underground Alliance, interrupted his thinking.

Li Ping'an respectfully answered the call.

“What? Someone has dealt with it in the police agency. OK, Ms. Hong, thank you all the same.”

After he hung up the phone, Li Ping'an was a little bewildered.

Someone had helped Li Ping'an solve the problem, so he impressed Ms. Hong.

But he did not know so many influential people.

Suddenly,

Li Ping'an recalled a charming face.

"Is that crazy lady? I owed her so much."
