Chapter 144: Don’t be afraid, I’m here_1

“Dammit, do you know who we are? You dare to mess with Brother Long’s men from the Night Castle; do you have a death wish?”

“Dammit, you’re dead meat today!”

“Kid, you’re done for. Not even Jesus can save you now, I’m telling you!”

Seeing Lao Huang kicked to the ground by Xu Fan, the remaining three thugs roared at him.

Xu Fan looked at the three men with disdain. What era was it that they were still talking about Brother Long from the Night Castle?

When I was in the Cultivation World, I slaughtered plenty of dragons in the Morning Star Dragon City. Do you think I’d be afraid of your pathetic Night Castle?

Xu Yixue’s face changed drastically when she heard the name of the Night Castle.

Although she was just a career woman and hadn’t been in Zhonghai for long, she had heard from others that there were several gray powers in Zhonghai City.

The Night Castle was one of the non-negligible forces in Zhonghai City, located at the bustling Jiangtan Road.

Their people were in charge of overseeing places, selling goods, collecting protection fees, and running gambling dens. Although they wouldn’t kill without blinking, they were regarded as lawless thugs in Zhonghai City.

“Xu Fan, let’s call the police.” Xu Yixue said to Xu Fan with some concern.

“Call the police! Call NMLGB!” a young thug snarled at Xu Yixue, with a confrontational face.

Upon hearing his words, Xu Fan became furious. Although Xu Yixue had many disagreements with him, she was Tongtong’s real mother and a woman who had shared a night of the past with Xu Fan.

How could Xu Fan allow his woman to be insulted by someone else’s words here?

In an instant, the thug who had just spoken rudely felt a gigantic fist eerily appear in front of his face. Before he could even scream, Xu Fan’s punch sent him flying a full three meters.

“Try cursing one more time!” Xu Fan glared fiercely at the remaining two thugs.

Both of their companions, for cursing at Xu Yixue, one was kicked by Xu Fan in the groin, and the other was sent flying with a punch.

Now, seeing the miserable fate of the two thugs on the ground, they instantly felt timid.

Xu Fan’s fighting ability was simply too strong. They were almost 200 pounds of muscle-bound tough guys. Normally, it would take three or four regular people to beat one of them, but Xu Fan seemed frail yet his moves were extremely ruthless. In a single encounter, he had knocked two men to the ground.

This kind of formidable kung fu was something they had only seen in movies. They had never encountered it in real life.

Thugs are sharp-witted; seeing Xu Fan’s powerful skills, their previously fierce momentum instantly disappeared, and in a flash, they became completely submissive, fearing that Xu Fan’s next kick might endanger their vital parts.

“Big brother, let’s talk this over, our Night Castle isn’t to be trifled with. You should show some restraint,” said one of the thugs.

“Big brother, hitting people is illegal. You are young; please don’t choose a path of crime,” another thug said.

“Take the two on the ground and get as far away from me as possible. If I see you two again, I’ll break your legs!” Xu Fan coldly told the two thugs.

“Thank you, big brother, thank you!” The two thugs bowed to Xu Fan and immediately dragged the two injured men off the ground and retreated.

Xu Fan glanced at the ground, his gaze sweeping over like a hawk surveying the land. Then, turning around, he said to Xu Yixue, “Let’s continue to see the tigers, and don’t let this affect us.”

“Yay, daddy has already defeated the bad guys, let’s hurry and see the tigers,” Tongtong said excitedly in Xu Yixue’s arms.

“Xu Fan, I heard that Night Castle has quite a bit of power. Should we maybe avoid them for now, just in case they have reinforcements?” Xu Yixue said a bit worriedly.

“Don’t be afraid, you have me!” Xu Fan said calmly.

Just four words, but they struck Xu Yixue’s heart like the Calming Sea Divine Needle, suddenly stabilizing her overly anxious heart.

Ye Xiaoning stared blankly at Xu Fan. In this moment, Xu Fan seemed to possess a mysterious magic that was especially reassuring. Even if they were faced with thousands of troops and tumultuous waves, Xu Fan was like a Great Wall, able to shield them from all dangers.

Xu Yixue had drifted around America for five years, and what she lacked most was such a strong pillar of support. At this moment, the way she looked at Xu Fan was almost infatuated.

“Let’s go, we still need to take Tongtong to see the tigers,” Xu Fan said with a slight smile, his tone light.

“Mhm, mhm, let’s go, baby, we’re going to see the tigers,” Xu Yixue said, holding Tongtong as she turned and slowly walked into the entrance of Tiger Garden.

Ye Xiaoning and Xu Fan also closely followed behind Xu Yixue, the four of them not at all affected by the incident with the thugs, while Tongtong’s laughter fluttered up again from time to time.

The two thugs struggled to drag the men Xu Fan had knocked down off the ground, watching helplessly as the four walked into Tiger Garden.

The other tourists nearby watched Xu Fan and his group in surprise, murmuring amongst themselves.

“Damn, that guy just now was so awesome, he took down two thugs from Night Castle by himself, they can’t even get up now.”

“Haha, Night Castle has been doing harm on Jiangtan Street all day long, bullying and dominating the market, it’s about time someone was able to deal with them, well done!”

“If you ask me, they should have taken out the other two as well, eradicate the evil to its roots, why leave those two disasters behind?”

“Spit, keep it down, if you can’t beat that young man, you think you can beat Night Castle’s goons? Be careful not to end up on Night Castle’s next hit list.”

“Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. I didn’t say anything, I just suddenly need to pee, got to find a restroom first,” the guy who had just been talking suddenly turned pale and quickly made an excuse to bolt.

“Don’t talk nonsense about Night Castle’s people. Although that young man defeated two of them, Night Castle’s power is not just those two people. When Night Castle’s guys gather, that young man will be in danger.”

“That’s what I’m saying too. After all, Night Castle is the big shot of Jiangtan Road. If they had no skills, how could they control Zhonghai City’s most prosperous area?”

“I heard about Brother Long from Night Castle, that’s a really tough guy who once hacked down a whole street with a cleaver. What’s the use of that young man’s skill, no matter how good his martial arts are? He’s still afraid of kitchen knives, and those from Night Castle aren’t good men and women. When a gang of them mobs him, he’ll know what fear is.”

“Dammit! Who the hell keeps yapping! I’ll chop him up,” a thug yelled at the gawking tourists.

The crowd that had gathered, hearing the thug’s words, immediately fell silent as if struck dumb and quickly lowered their heads and took off.

“You watch our two brothers on the ground, I’m going to find the boss to call for backup!” one thug dropped Old Huang, who Xu Fan had kicked in the groin, and ran rapidly towards Brother Long’s cooling pavilion.
