Chapter 20
One of the thugs had picked himself up. He gripped his stick and brought it down with a vicious force toward Ye Yunxi.
She was only 16, and although she had started developing, she was nevertheless petite in the eyes of a bunch of grown men. Anyone would think that this blow would break her skull and render her wholly incapacitated!
However, before they could even blink, the girl, who did not dodge but instead faced the move head-on, balled her hands into a tiny fist that shot toward the approaching stick. Crack! The stick snapped as her fist flew through it and landed squarely on the thug’s face, sending the grown man flying backward.
Pfffftttt…
The thug threw up a spray of blood from his mouth. He tumbled onto the ground, convulsing, and then lay there motionless.
Everyone fell silent.
That… that was scary.
The stick was broken, but it could still knock out a few people.
Was there a need to be so full of vigor?!
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
After a string of announcements, Ye Yunxi turned around nonchalantly to stare down at Big Brother Zhuang.
Her dark eyes were completely emotionless, colder than ice. Her ruby lips were drawn in a tight line. Big Brother Zhuang trembled as she stared at him.
He no longer dared to insist on the repayment. He got up and tried to leave, but Ye Yunxi raised a leg, forming a barricade across the doorway. She swept her frosty gaze over the bunch of trembling thugs, her ruby lips arched in a dazzling smile.
“Hoping to go?”
Big Brother Zhuang was on the verge of going nuts. They couldn’t win the fight, and now she wouldn’t let them go?
“What… What else do you want?”
Ye Yunxi lifted her chin and nodded toward the window, saying, “Pay for the glass you smashed.”
What the hell?
Big Brother Zhuang dug into his pocket with his good hand, drew out a few hundred bills, and threw it on the floor. However, Ye Yunxi made no move to remove her leg.
“What else do you want!?” Big Brother Zhuang said through gritted teeth.
“You hit my Dad and Big Brother. Medical expenses.”
Damn it!
Big Brother Zhuang clenched his jaw. All his life, he had been a loan shark. This was the first time he failed to extort any money and even get robbed on top of that!
Freaking hell!
However, he could not defeat Ye Yunxi, so he could only hand over all the cash he had in his wallet. He growled, “That’s all I have, take a good look, I’ve emptied my wallet to the last cent!”
However, Ye Yunxi still made no signs of relenting. She grinned and continued, “And there’s also a cost to my mental loss!”
“…”
Big Brother Zhuang was livid, almost going berserk.
“I have no more money!”
“Your men might have some.”
Upon hearing this, the thugs quickly turned their pockets inside out, ensuring that they gave up all they had. Only then did Ye Yunxi withdraw her leg.
However, Big Brother Zhuang was a little fearful of leaving now.
He looked at Ye Yunxi cautiously and slowly inched toward the doorway.
As he turned sideways to ease himself out, Ye Yunxi threw him an indifferent glance that sent his scalp numb.
After this, she looked up and smiled faintly. She threw him a warning, “I don’t care who sent you, just tell the person who tricked my father into this that, as long as I’m here, don’t even think of taking advantage of the Ye family, because…”
The young girl produced a faint smile—she had a distinctly unbridled demeanor as her beautiful hair floated around her face.
“… This family is mine to protect!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
“Ding! Awesomeness EXP +10!”
Big Brother Zhuang shuddered as he stared at Ye Yunxi nervously.
This young girl knew?
Was there something wrong with the Ye family? They had ousted such an excellent member of their clan to give their entire inheritance to a collateral branch of the family?
He grinned through gritted teeth and said after a short pause, “I do warn you to be careful. Be careful of the one closest to you!”
On this note, Big Brother Zhuang quickly left.
The closest person?
Ye Yunxi lowered her gaze.
Who could that be?
