"Hmph! You don't even look like an outdoor shrimp!" Dongfang Yangwei laughed condescendingly. He did not even bother to see Chen as his competitor.
After that, he acted cool and turn around, talking to Lin, "Ms Lin, I would like to invite you to have dinner with me tonight. If you say yes to me, I will consider giving one or two gold medals to your class."
"My answer is no! Also, my class definitely does not need gold medals from you!" Lin was extremely angry. She rejected him without a second thought.
"Hehe… Ms Lin, You can't possibly be naïve enough to put all your trust in this little bitch, for your gold medals, right?" Dongfang laughed condescendingly.
"Please do not call my student a little bitch! Also, it's none of your business on what I think, or what he wins!" Lin said angrily.
"Hehe… You are an interesting woman. Congratulations, you've piqued my interest! I'm going to make the official announcements that you are hereby, woman!" Dongfang lifted up his chin and acted cool.
Luo Bing was shocked when he heard Dongfang's announcement. He had not been this bold when he pursued Lin before this. However, Luo was not surprised that Dongfang had the balls to make such bold statement. Dongfang Yangwei had a very powerful dad, the boss of Black Tiger gang; Dongfang Hong!
Black Tiger gang was the third most powerful mafia gang. Half of the west side entertainment centers and slum areas were under their protection. Small time bosses like Fire Grim Reaper, who merely ruled over three streets were garbage, compared to the Black Tiger Gang. That gave Donfang a great deal of 'balls' and guts.
Lin raised her voice, frowning, "Where is your respect?! Please, don't forget that you are still a student! Even so, I will never say yes to you!"
"Hehe… I always get my hands on the woman I want, no matter what!"
Dongfang laughed coldly and said, "You rejected me right now. But, sooner or later, you will have to say yes to me! Oh, I have my methods, you'll see!"
"Hey Yangwei dude, bro, whatever - can you stop being such a douchebag? Show me your methods right now! You talk too much." Chen snapped. He was not happy at all. Those words have struck a nerve.
"Hehe… I shall let you have a taste of my method, alright!"
Dongfang laughed coldly, extending his arm, and made a shaking action. He said sarcastically, "Do you have the balls to shake my hand?"
Chen smiled and did not say a single word. He reached into his palm by extending his arm. Both of their palms made contact. To the passing onlooker, they were merely shaking hands, respectfully. But these two were now in a contest of strength.
Luo drawled in a matter-of-fact tone, like he was used to the drill, "Master Dongfang, watch your strength, careful, do not crush his hand!"
"Watch my strength? What are you talking about!"
Dongfang said arrogantly, "My Kirin arm is beyond my control! Unless he's willing to kneel down and beg for pardon. If not, I will definitely crush his palm!"
"Hehe… You are quite strong, alright. But, for me to kneel down and beg? That's a stretch, innit?" Chen grinned.
Based on what he's seen Dongfang was still a rookie. His combat power was around two hundred. That kind of strength would easily crush an ordinary person's hands. Chen almost yawned at it, however.
"Eh?"
Chen's reaction shocked Dongfang. His voice became chilly, "Don't get over your head! I was only at 70% of my true strength!"
Dongfang bit down and continued to exert more strength into his palm. His combat power increased tremendously, and it was around three hundred combat power. However, for Chen, this is still nothing.
"Yangwei bro, how much of your strength is being used here? I don't feel a thing," Chen said casually. He did not even blink.
"I…"
His face started turning red. Sweat starting to roll down from his forehead. It was pretty obvious he was at his limit. Chen remained unfazed, and it was starting to scare him.
"This is impossible!"
Luo had his eyes and mouth wide opened as well. As his counselor, he knew Dongfang's strength well. If somebody else was in Chen's place, the person would surely groan in pain right now. Luo started to guess that Chen might have a prosthetic arm.
"Yangwei bro, looks like you have overestimated yourself! You are too weak to even deserve the name; Kirin arm." Chen laughed condescendingly.
"I'm not feeling well today. I shall compete with you again soon!" Dongfang was no fool. He knew that Chen was something extraordinary. He started to retract his hand.
"Hehe… You claimed that you wanted to crush my arm earlier. And, now, you are trying to quit? You'll have to ask my permission first!"
Chen grinned, exerting tremendous strength into his arm and said coldly at the same time, "What sort of idiot does it take to hit on Ms. Lin? All those silly, cheesy lines spouted in front of me? Are my ears almost starting to bleed? Oh, I'm going to crush your Kirin arm today, and I'm going to make sure that you remember this for the rest of your life!"
"Ouch!" The next second, Dongfang howled in pain. He felt like his hand was being crushed by an unyielding hydraulic press. It would literally turn to mincemeat if he does not do anything about it now. The excruciating pain turned Dongyang's face pale, and his whole body started shaking, and sweat rolled down from his forehead non-stop. Lin and Luo were extremely shocked. They did not expect Chen to possess such immense strength.
"Boss! Spare my life! It's my fault! I won't repeat my mistake again!" Tears literally squirted out of Dongfang's eyes, due to the excruciating pain. His legs went soft. He was almost forced to his knees.
"Are you going to hit on Ms. Lin again?!" Chen asked.
"No… No…" He shook his head as hard as the waves from the sea.
"Do you still dare to act arrogantly in front of me?!" Chen asked again.
"No more… Please let me go…" Dongfang shrieked
"Ah… You are a quick learner!"
Chen laughed casually and said, "I will let you go this time. If this happens again in the future, I will make sure that you turn into a pile of dead meat!"
"Yes… Yes… Yes…" Dongfang did not dare to say another word. Once Chen relaxed his hand, he quickly fled the scene with Luo.
After he ran for around a hundred meters, he turned around and shouted back, "Little bitch! This is not done yet! You just wait and see!"
"Dumbass! Just come at me whenever you're thinking of suicide!" Chen rolled his eyes at him.
"Chen, you should not taunt him. His family is really powerful!" Lin said, concerned.
Chen shrugged and said, "I don't care about his family! I will kick his balls if he dares to hit on you again! I will make sure that he becomes impotent the next time!"
"You have such an evil mouth!" Lin teased him playfully. Her face slowly turned red.
"Erm… Yeah, that was nice of me. Bad mouth! Dirty mouth! Please, teacher, go ahead and punish it!" Chen laughed evilly, and his mouth closed in on Lin's lips.
*Cough!*
*Cough!*
Right at that moment, somebody coughed from behind them.
