Almighty Genius

Chapter 2122 - 1616: Femme Fatale!

...Not only him, but even Brother Dao was looking at Qin Fang with an extremely unfriendly expression, seemingly quite dissatisfied with Qin Fang's previous reaction. Who told him to lose face in front of the beauty Lin Qian earlier?

"Getting beaten?"

Looking at these young punks who thought they were very tough, Qin Fang found it quite amusing.

With his strength reaching the level of a Grandmaster-level Expert, he had long returned to simplicity. Unless he deliberately released his aura, he basically looked like an ordinary person.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that these young punks are ordinary people. Unlike martial artists who are sensitive to aura, they naturally see Qin Fang as an ordinary person like themselves.

Had Qin Fang just been an ordinary person, looking quite young, and clearly being an out-of-town tourist, these local riffraff naturally wouldn't take Qin Fang seriously. It's not surprising that their attitude was arrogant.

"Scram!"

Right at that moment, a cold and clear shout rang out, full of impatience.

"Yeah, scram, hurry up and scram... Uh!"

The young punk with his palm still on Qin Fang's shoulder seemingly responded like an obedient eunuch to an imperial decree, immediately shouting at Qin Fang... However, shortly after saying this, he suddenly realized that something was awry.

When he turned to look at his companions, he found that their expressions were all indescribably weird... Especially Brother Dao, whose face was exceptionally ugly.

The reason was simple: that "scram" wasn't uttered by Brother Dao, but by... Lin Qian!

At the same time, a cold, short sword was resting against Brother Dao's neck, glinting coldly, sending chills down people's spines... Brother Dao's body was completely stiff now, not daring to move at all because he could feel that this beauty wasn't joking and might actually kill him.

"Dao... Brother Dao!"

Seeing this scene, Brother Dao's little brothers were all dumbfounded, although some were dismissive, thinking Lin Qian wouldn't dare act. But seeing Brother Dao's trembling body, they didn't dare be careless.

Compared to Qin Fang, Lin Qian, due to her living environment, had considerable curiosity towards the outside world but also maintained considerable vigilance... Or rather, apart from Qin Fang, she kept considerable alertness towards anyone outside, including Qin Fang's friends!

Even though the punks in front of them were just ordinary people, Lin Qian remained vigilant.

"Forget it, I don't feel like dealing with you... Scram!!"

Experts like Qin Fang, long devoid of any desire to harm ordinary people, felt no sense of achievement from it and feared causing unnecessary trouble by accidentally killing someone. Seeing Lin Qian's nervousness and caution, Qin Fang naturally understood and worried she might act too severely, thus he intervened to stop her.

"Hum..."

Others' words might not be heeded by Lin Qian, but Qin Fang's words were something she followed obediently. She snorted coldly, immediately withdrawing her short sword used for self-defense, and continued attending to her food, as if nothing had happened.

"Phew~~"

With the short sword withdrawn, Brother Dao was saved, immediately slumping down, as if breathing a sigh of relief.

Only he knew though that his back was already cold, with cold sweat almost soaking his thin shirt... He was extremely scared and terrified just now, nearly wetting his pants.

"This woman... is terrifying!"

Unable to resist sneaking a glance at Lin Qian munching beside him, Brother Dao muttered fearfully to himself without daring to provoke her further.

"Th-thank you..."

Only then did Brother Dao notice Qin Fang, his attitude vastly different from before, timidly expressing gratitude towards Qin Fang, even though he knew the other party wouldn't care... But without Qin Fang's words earlier, Brother Dao didn't know how terrified he might have been.

"Go on..."

Qin Fang didn't bother with him, merely gesturing with his hand to shoo them away while eating.

Brother Dao naturally dared not disobey, immediately standing up obediently and leading his crew away slowly... Such a scene naturally fell into the view of many around, all finding it quite odd, and their gaze towards Qin Fang and Lin Qian changed.

However, this has nothing to do with Qin Fang and Lin Qian. After finishing their food, the two of them immediately left the night market slowly.

As for Brother Dao's side...

"Brother Dao, are we just leaving like this?"

The underling who patted Qin Fang on the shoulder earlier immediately asked in displeasure, seemingly unable to understand what Brother Dao was afraid of.

In gang battles, knives are inevitably used, and sometimes even guns are involved. These people are really not very scared, especially the formidable Brother Dao in front of them, who once fearlessly faced a dozen machetes alone.

It's precisely because of this that his followers are willing to tag along with him.

But now?

Being scared by a woman and a knife, this underling felt disdainful. He vaguely felt very unsatisfied, wondering if he had chosen the wrong boss... This level of cowardice was just too much.

"Yeah, Brother Dao, she's just a woman, what's there to fear..."

Other underlings also spoke up, clearly showing some dissatisfaction. Their gaze at Brother Dao subtly changed.

"Hmph..."

Brother Dao is aware of his underlings' thoughts. He also started as a hoodlum and understands their mindset fairly well.

But only he knows in his heart, that woman is truly terrifying... He would rather face dozens of machetes again than confront this woman.

"Let me just say one thing... That woman is not someone we can afford to provoke! If you wish to die and insist on provoking her, do as you please..."

Not bothering to explain further to the underlings, Brother Dao just angrily threw down this sentence, immediately mounted his motorbike, and sped away from the night market, as if afraid that Lin Qian might regret not coming to settle accounts.

"Coward!"

Watching Brother Dao's departing figure, an underling disdainfully cursed, with others immediately echoing him, and some couldn't help saying, "Brother Xiao Hei, Brother Dao has aged... From now on, we'll listen to you!"

"Yeah, we'll all follow you..."

This is how hoodlums are, especially the lower-rank ones, valuing strength and fearlessness. Whoever is more ruthless becomes their leader. Poor Brother Dao was thus abandoned...

"In that case, we can't be afraid... We absolutely cannot let that woman off!"

Brother Xiao Hei was also very excited, not expecting to rise so quickly. Though his position wasn't legitimate, having underlings under him, he wasn't afraid of facing a defunct Brother Dao. He boldly expressed.

"However, that woman seems quite fierce and likely has some backing. Just attacking her might not succeed with only a few of us... Let me get in touch with Brother Biao first and see what he thinks!"

Brother Xiao Hei wasn't foolish, given how scared Brother Dao was, Lin Qian surely isn't simple. He had just risen to power and didn't want to be defeated before enjoying his status. So he pushed the problem upwards.

The Brother Biao he mentioned is the Leader of this area, whose status is much higher than Brother Dao, a true underworld boss and a principal elder of the powerful Zhu Lian Gang on Little Island.

Xiao Hei met Brother Biao by chance, though they weren't very close. Brother Biao's temper isn't good, and Xiao Hei didn't dare to use him for intimidation... But Xiao Hei knew one thing; Brother Biao's biggest flaw is his lust.

As long as Brother Biao finds a woman attractive, he'll stop at nothing to get her... Even some famous actresses on Little Island have fallen prey to him. That's Brother Biao's strength and influence.

Lin Qian is very beautiful, more so than those actresses, and she's from out of town, but she's on Brother Biao's turf. If he finds out, he definitely won't be courteous... Xiao Hei sent this news over, perhaps he won't even need to lift a finger, earning significant merit!

Qin Fang and Lin Qian leisurely strolled through Little Island's night market, not realizing they were already targeted by the area's underworld bosses... Xiao Hei sent Lin Qian's photo to the lustful Brother Biao, who immediately sprang into action, promising to send people to capture her...

Little Island is a very complex society, with gangs being illegal organizations but holding a rather high status. Some gang leaders have transformed into legislators, turning from gang boss to prominent officials.

Such powerful figures eat both the black and white sides, maintaining solid status and wielding unimaginable power... Brother Biao is such a leader; he's a member of Beitai City's legislative council and a prominent figure in the northern part of Little Island.

With this kind of status, Zhu Lian Gang's power in the northern part of Little Island is tremendous, strongly suppressing other gang forces. Calling him a local tyrant wouldn't be an exaggeration... Even within Zhu Lian Gang, aside from the Gang Leader, he might not take any Elder seriously.

A person so forceful, when he decides something, isn't easily obstructed by anyone.

Hence, before Qin Fang could walk out of the night market, they were already targeted... (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to recommend votes or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
