Chapter 11

He had not said a word.

He had not looked at the two once.

Cold.

Cruel.

As if devoid of any emotion whatsoever, especially toward Wang Yase—this feeling was even stronger, for he had seen with his own eyes how the youth leaned against the wall smoking.

Then.

He struck out without any reason.

One person.

He nearly knocked down sixty or seventy members of the Heigou Gang, driving every last thug of the Heigou Gang to their knees—these gangsters of the Heishe Society were terrified, afraid!

After finishing.

He left.

From start to finish, it was as if he had no desire to communicate with them at all, giving the impression of standing in a cold world, with the young man at its very center, full of mystery and strangeness.

"Do you know…"

Wang Da Dong was about to speak.

"He is…"

"From Bali High?"

Wang Yase spoke at the same time.

"…"

"…"

The two locked eyes, both bewildered.

"So…"

"You don't know him?"

The two asked in unison again.

A brief silence.

"This is strange…"

"I never knew Bali High had someone like this—and he's not even in Ultimate Class."

Wang Da Dong spoke with keen interest and curiosity.

"Yeah."

"Such a ruthless guy didn't even make it into your Ultimate Class."

Wang Yase said.

The two had been opponents just moments ago, but now, covered in dirt and blood, they instantly felt like friends.

"And…"

"This guy…"

"He clearly has a combat index, but I can't sense any fluctuation in it—this is strange."

"He…"

"Who is he?"

In both their minds.

A question arose.

School Realm.

Bali High.

Had never heard of such a person—who was this youth?

Leaving Bali High.

Lin Yu returned to his dilapidated house, which he had kept spotless; after washing up, he changed into casual clothes and headed toward where he was supposed to keep watch.

For Lin Yu,

a promise made must be kept; having been paid, he naturally had to fulfill his duty.

The bar.

"Is this the new guy?"

"Looks like some greenhorn kid!"

"Fuck, they're shoving anyone into my place."

As soon as Lin Yu arrived, a bald man covered in tattoos glared at him and couldn't help complaining.

"Go on, go on."

"Don't bother me."

"There's nothing much to do here anyway—just keep watch, step in if anyone causes trouble, stand your ground. The rest, Ah Deng, teach him."

The bald man was impatient.

"Damn, this shitty place is already a hassle with all this crap going on every day, and now they dump a guy who can't even fight in here to eat free meals—what the hell…"

He stepped out of the room.

Lin Yu had already stopped hearing the bald man's voice.

But it was clear.

The bald man was not pleased with his arrival and thought Lin Yu was dragging things down.

"Heh, don't worry, Brother Sunny's just like that." Yu Deng said beside him—he was tall, standing nearly two meters, his entire body bulging with muscle, radiating immense strength.

"Come on, follow me."

"..."

Lin Yu said nothing and quietly followed behind him.

Glittering lights and colorful revelry.

The lights were hazy and dreamlike.

The DJ blasted in their ears; in the dance floor, enchanting, sexy women and young, wild men kept swaying, bumping, shaking their heads, moving along with the DJ's rhythm.

On the very center of the stage, a bewitching woman, dressed in a three-piece outfit, danced around a pole.

Decadent.

Intoxicated.

Hallucinatory.

Clinking glasses; the mingled air was thick with the smell of smoke and alcohol.

"Here."

Yu Deng and Lin Yu sat at the bar and ordered two drinks.

The liquor went down.

A burning taste, mixed with a heavy alcohol flavor, made Lin Yu feel a bit stung in the nose, but after a few more sips, he felt a stream of hot air slowly rising within his body, surging toward his head; with a mere thought of his, that heat was blocked at his throat.

【Eating: 210/1000】

Lin Yu noticed.

The moment he drank, the proficiency of 'Eating' seemed to be rising rapidly.

Although he didn't know exactly what 'Eating' could evolve into once its proficiency rose, it definitely wouldn't be weak.

Glasses clinked.

"Actually, it's pretty fun here."

Yu Deng said with a smile.

Lin Yu looked at him.

"This area is a more remote stretch of territory belonging to our Tulong Gang, pretty far from most of Tulong Gang's other territories, so there aren't many people around. There are quite a few other gangs nearby too, and stirred up by the Qitabang Sect, they come over to cause trouble every now and then."

"I love beating up these guys the most — the more people I beat, the more rewards I get!"

"Then I can buy more drinks!"

Yu Deng took a sip of his drink and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.
