C238 Activate the Random Mission!

"Big brother! This kid is stirring up trouble. We need to teach him a lesson about how things work around here!"

"Yeah, Big Brother, let's give him a taste of his own medicine!"

The two thugs loudly addressed their leader with an air of defiance.

The gang leader glared at Lin Dong with a menacing look.

Lin Dong stood his ground, unafraid, which seemed to challenge the leader's authority.

After listening to his underling, the leader gestured for them to approach Lin Dong.

As they moved, they pulled out a short knife from their pockets, exuding a threatening aura.

"Ah!"

A girl standing behind gasped and covered her mouth in shock.

She quickly silenced herself, fearful of attracting the attention of the thugs once more.

Bystanders quickly gave them a wide berth.

Nobody wanted to get caught in the crossfire and risk a knife wound just for a glimpse of the action.

The gangsters swelled with pride as they noticed people stepping aside for them.

The leader brandished the knife, making exaggerated gestures to scare the crowd even further.

But when he turned his attention back to Lin Dong, he saw that Lin Dong hadn't fled.

The gang leader was taken aback.

He had spent decades intimidating the average person, enough to circle Jiangyang, but Lin Dong was an unexpected challenge.

They were armed and dangerous, and yet Lin Dong remained unfazed.

He casually stood with his hands in his pockets, seemingly oblivious to the weapon.

Was he foolish or something else entirely?

The gang leader and his henchmen exchanged puzzled glances.

Now standing next to Lin Dong, the leader spoke through clenched teeth, "Kid! I'm giving you a chance. Kneel down, apologize, and cough up ten thousand yuan for the distress you've caused me. Settle this, or I'll lay you out right here!"

"Yeah, we'll put you down!"

"And then we'll slice you up!"

The other two thugs joined in with their own threats.

"Ding! The host has activated a random mission: take down the thugs!"

"The life of the strong is always filled with twists and turns. In the face of challenges, you can't bow down. You have to fight back and show them your strength!"

"Receive your reward after completing the random quest??? (Claimable upon completion)"

"Let the show begin!"

A system notification chimed.

Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle.

The system had given the mission such a careless name: beating up gangsters? It seemed a bit too nonchalant.

"Hey, this kid's laughing at you, boss!"

"Let's go, today he's going to learn about the Lord of the Horse's third eye!"

The two underlings shouted furiously.

The gang leader's eyes hardened with resolve.

As he prepared to make his move, Lin Dong's calm voice cut through, "I'll say it one more time, beat it, or you'll regret it."

"Fuck you! How dare you talk to me like that! Boys, teach him a lesson in manners!"

The gang leader bellowed in rage.

One of the burly thugs reached out to grab Lin Dong by the neck, aiming to pin him to the ground.

Lin Dong appeared frail and easy to overpower.

Another thug, knife in hand, lurked menacingly to the side, poised to strike.

Lin Dong was trapped, with no way out.

"Watch out!"

The girl behind couldn't contain her shriek.

She was determined to help, shouting as she tried to rush to Lin Dong's aid, only to be blocked by the gang leader's outstretched arm. She couldn't get past.

She was too slight to break through the barrier, forced to watch as Lin Dong was seized.

Onlookers gasped in alarm.

To them, Lin Dong was no match for the three thugs, especially with knives in their hands. It seemed inevitable that Lin Dong would get hurt.

What would become of him next?
