C13 Enemies Get Angry When They Meet

Lee Yifann's eyes sparkled with sharp excitement. He'd been working towards this day for so long, and now it had finally come!

After quickly getting his stuff together, he headed out the door, ready to find some work. His living situation was settled; it was time to tackle the job problem. He needed an income; living without money wouldn't cut it.

Finding a proper job was tough without clearing his name, so he had to settle for part-time gigs. At last, he found a job handing out flyers, paying ten bucks an hour. "Man, it wasn't easy, but I finally found something to do." he said with relief.

His workplace was in a plaza near the old town district.

"Hey there, our store's having a promotion. Maybe take a look?" he'd offer, ever the salesman.

Lee was no novice to freelance gigs like this. He felt no shame in honest part-time work.Whenever potential customers came by, he eagerly presented them with flyers.

As he reached out to hand a flyer, he recognized the face. His face went pale, "Ma Yishan, what are you doing here?"

"Kid, I've finally found you!" Ma Yishan's face was dark and filled with bitter resentment and murderous intent.

By his side were Zhou Kai and Zhao Hu, who looked equally grim and filled with rage.

Lee Yifann eyed the three men coolly, "What do you want?"

"Hmph! You've kept us searching for a long time! Let's see where you run this time!" Ma Yishan gritted his teeth and sneered, "Last time someone helped you, you got lucky. But your luck's run out now, buddy!"

The last time he'd tried to teach Lee Yifann a lesson, someone had intervened and beaten him up, leaving him utterly humiliated.

Naturally, he'd blamed Lee Yifann for all of it and had been searching for him nonstop. Finally, he'd found him!

"I never messed with you guys. You're the ones picking on me. What, you think I'm an easy target?" Lee Yifann was getting pretty steamed. These guys were too much, addicted to picking on those weaker than them!

"Bah! You made me lose face, so of course, I'm coming after you!" Ma Yishan's hatred for Lee Yifann was bone-deep.

The confrontation immediately drew a crowd, and many onlookers started to feel sympathetic toward Lee Yifann, who was facing off against three people.

They were bullying him because they had the numbers. Talk about bad luck.

"You think you're invincible, that you can do whatever you want?" Lee Yifann's fist slowly clenched, eyes fixed on the men before him.

Hearing his words, Ma Yishan burst into laughter, "Ha! Do you hear that, guys? The kid's talking tough to us!"

"Heard it loud and clear. What a clueless fool!" One of them responded as the tension continued to build.

"Last time we beat you to a pulp, you were like a half-dead dog, and now you're yapping at us again? You must be out of your mind!"

Zhou Kai and Zhao Hu chuckled coldly, their faces full of audacity.

Lee Yifann's anger boiled over, "If you guys keep this up, I'll call the cops on you!"

"Call the cops?"

Ma Yishan and his cronies looked at each other momentarily, then burst into laughter.

"Call the cops? This kid says he's going to call the cops on us!"

"I'm dying here; he wants to call the cops on us. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard!"

"If you've got the guts, call them now! Let's see if they dare to touch us!"

The three roared with laughter, their voices scornful as if they'd just heard the world's greatest joke.

Lee Yifann's face darkened, completely taken aback by their reaction. He hadn't expected them to be so audacious and contemptuous of the law.

Ma Yishan looked at him with a cold smile, "Still acting tough with me? This time, I'll finish you off!"

"Hey, why waste words on him?" Zhou Kai sneered.

"He's a total loser; if it weren't for someone saving him last time, he'd be pushing up daisies by now!" Zhao Hu's face twisted with malice.

Lee Yifann's fists clenched, anger simmering in his chest, "Don't push your luck with me!"

Ma Yishan's laugh grew wilder, "Pushing my luck? I'll show you what that means! Get him, beat him to a pulp! If he dies, I'll take care of it!"

Zhou Kai and Zhao Hu grinned menacingly, cracking their knuckles and rushing forward, "Let's see where you would run this time!"

Lee Yifann tossed his flyers to the ground; his eyes fixed on the two approaching him. He slowly clenched his fists and dropped into a fighting stance, ready to attack.

Seeing his moves, Zhou Kai mocked, "All show and no go!"

"A puny little dog like you thinks he's a big shot?" Zhao Hu, the taller of the two, swung his fist at Lee Yifann's forehead, roaring, "I'll smash your skull with one punch!"

Putting all his strength behind the blow, Zhao Hu aimed to take Lee Yifann out with a single punch. As the fist came within inches of Lee Yifann's forehead, the onlookers shut their eyes, unable to bear what was about to unfold.

If that punch had landed, it would have left him bloodied, if not dead.

However, everyone closed their eyes and waited for Lee Yifann's scream, but it never came.

They blinked their eyes, jaws dropping, to find Zhao Hu's fist frozen just a hair away from Lee Yifann's head, his hand casually holding it like it was no big deal.

"No way; how's that possible?"

They were stunned, watching Lee Yifann's hand tightly holding Zhao Hu's fist as if frozen in mid-air.

Unbelievable! Zhao Hu's punch was fierce, with at least a hundred pounds of force behind it. How could it be so effortlessly caught by Lee Yifan?

"Damn you!" Zhao Hu's face turned red as he tried to punch through, but his fist was held firm like it was caught in a vise.

"Is that all you've got?" Lee Yifann's voice was cool; his martial prowess had grown by leaps and bounds.

Before, Zhao Hu's fist could hurt him, but now it felt weak and ineffectual, like a baby's punch.

"Damn it! Zhao Hu, I'll help you!" Zhou Kai roared, lunging at Lee Yifann, aiming a kick at his stomach.

"Hmph!" Lee Yifann twisted Zhao Hu's hand with a simple flick of his wrist, like turning a screw, and a series of snaps announced the breaking of Zhao Hu's arm.

"Ahh!" Zhao Hu screamed, collapsing to his knees.

Lee Yifann lifted him and swung him at the charging Zhou Kai, smashing them together with vicious force.

"Thud!" The two crumpled like sacks of potatoes, wailing in agony.

"How, how is this possible?" Ma Yishan's face showed utter disbelief.

Zhou Kai and Zhao Hu, taken down by Lee Yifan with just one hand?

It couldn't be; he must be seeing things!

Only days ago, they had beaten Lee Yifann to a pulp. How could he have possibly defeated Zhao Hu and Zhou Kai?

It had to be fake!
