Chapter 738: Chapter 735: The Consequences of Defiance

"Be careful," Xiao Manxuan cautioned as she opened the door and got into the car.

Once the car door was closed, Lin Tian walked inside, turning around a large column and finally spotted several shady figures.

"Lin Tian, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," one of them said playfully, and it was none other than Lai Xiucheng, who was not satisfied.

Besides Lai Xiucheng, there were six young lads, each with dyed colorful hair, flashy clothes, and tattoos on their arms; they were dressed as if they were missing the words ’I am a punk’ written on their foreheads.

Lin Tian found it amusing to see the punks dressed like this; the troublemakers of Xikou City couldn’t keep up with the times—dying hair crazy colors was so last century.

"Lai Xiucheng, did you bring these guys here to get back at me?" Lin Tian asked with a faint smile.

"It’s not about revenge," Lai Xiucheng replied with ill intent. "It’s just that you made me look foolish and got me punished by the school, so I want to teach you how to behave and fulfill your duties as a student."

Lin Tian pointed to the six youngsters with colorful hair and said, "Six idiots think they can take me down? I’ll give you the advantage of both my hands; why don’t you all come at me together?"

"Who are you calling an idiot!" one of the punks shouted, eyes wide.

"How dare you say you’ll give me a handicap! You should find out more about me; even though I’ve just arrived in Xikou City, nobody dares to underestimate me. It looks like you’re tired of living," another fierce youth shouted. He had a knife scar on his arm—a clear sign that he was no stranger to rough fights.

Lin Tian had been puzzled; in Xikou City, no petty thugs would dare to bully students from Xikou City High School. These punks were so brazen because they were new and not yet familiar with the territory.

He smirked, then calmly repeated, "I’ll say it again, all of you are idiots. And yes, when I say I’ll give you a handicap, I mean it. There’s no need to bluff when dealing with morons."

"You... very well. Bros, beat him up!" The punk with the knife scar, unable to contain his anger, rushed at Lin Tian first, pulling out a switchblade from his pocket and stabbing towards Lin Tian’s abdomen.

The other five punks also drew steel pipes from behind and swung them toward Lin Tian, with all six bearing arms, clearly well-prepared for a fight.

They moved swiftly and with ruthless precision, all of them experienced fighters, but they missed as Lin Tian had already moved from his original spot.

"Where is he? Where did that kid go?" The punk with the knife scar asked, bewildered, as his stab struck nothing.

Barely had he finished his question when he felt a sharp pain in his wrist; unable to grip the switchblade, it clattered to the ground.

"Ah... my hand..." The punk with the knife scar screamed in pain; his palm dangled unnaturally, his wrist bent at an odd angle, clearly indicating his hand bones had been crushed.

Lin Tian had never been lenient with such people. A moment before, he had casually moved behind him and disabled his hand.

Next came several "crack" sounds of breaking bones, and the other five punks were also wailing in pain; Lin Tian had disabled the weapon-wielding hands of all five.

"Lin Tian... you..." Lai Xiucheng, witnessing the swift incapacitation of the six men he brought, was so frightened that he couldn’t string together a complete sentence.

Lin Tian turned around and walked up to Lai Xiucheng, chuckling, "Doctor Lai, direct approaches didn’t work, so you thought you’d play tough?"

What Lin Tian didn’t know was that Lai Xiucheng had been warned by Sun Decai and others not to use force against him. However, he wouldn’t accept it and wanted to test his strength. His attempt ended up far exceeding his expectations.

"I... that’s not it, what do you want?" asked Lai Xiucheng, frightened.

Lin Tian smiled slightly, "I don’t want anything. I just want to teach you how to properly perform your duty as a school doctor."

This smile, to Lai Xiucheng, was no different from that of a devil’s. He now deeply regretted not heeding Sun Decai’s advice and looking for someone to vent his frustration on.

With a "slap," Lin Tian’s palm struck Lai Xiucheng’s face. Lai Xiucheng let out a pained cry, "Ah," covering his face and feeling a burning pain.

Just as he covered one side of his face, Lin Tian slapped the other side, and Lai Xiucheng immediately felt his entire face burning with pain. But the physical pain was the least of his concerns; psychologically, he felt an unprecedented level of humiliation, yet he didn’t dare to speak out or resist.

"That’s so dull. I thought you’d put up a fight given how arrogant you were before," Lin Tian said, shaking his head in disappointment, then warned, "Remember, do your job as a school doctor and drop those crooked thoughts."

Lin Tian walked a few steps away, then turned back and looked at the stunned gang members, saying coldly, "You newcomers, remember this: Don’t even think about bothering the students of Xikou City High School. You can go ask your fellow thugs about that. Of course, you can also doubt the authority of my words and try your luck with the consequences. But you’ll regret it if you do."

He didn’t specify what the consequences would be, but the chill in his eyes fully conveyed their severity. The six thugs shivered in unison, as if they had fallen into an ice cave. The intimidation they felt mentally made them forget the pain of their broken wrists.

The six thugs, newcomers to Xikou City, with their wrist bones shattered—even if set, they were now essentially useless, unable to even lift a knife, Lin Tian had effectively ended their life as hoodlums.

Of course, if they failed to recognize the situation and continued their ways, the only outcome would be to get bullied by other thugs, or even be utterly destroyed by former enemies.

Lin Tian no longer paid them any attention, turned around, and left to get back into the car.

"Lin Tian, did someone cause you trouble?" asked Xiao Manxuan, curious.

This wasn’t the first time such an event had occurred, so she wasn’t overly concerned. Lin Tian, unaware, hesitated and nodded, thinking the little girl was scared.

To his surprise, the little girl suddenly said with regret, "Such a pity, my Little Zi didn’t get the chance to show off, and you already took care of the trouble. Lin Tian, why do you have to be so powerful?"

Lin Tian was stunned. Where other young ladies would have been terrified by such situations, the little girl was still thinking about having a chance to shine. He was at a loss for words regarding her aggressiveness.

However, with the top-grade Zombie Gu in her guardian necklace, she would have been more than capable of handling those thugs, not to mention her martial arts moves were not bad either. It was just that she had not reached the Ancient Martial Realm and lacked the True Qi within her.

"Second Miss, they were just a few shortsighted thugs who had just arrived in Xikou City, were misguided and sought to cause me trouble. Such minor characters, of course, don’t need the grand intervention of our great Second Miss," Lin Tian joked.

"Hehe, your words sound so fake, but don’t think you can fool me. If I don’t make an appearance, how will they see my greatness? Remember, if someone dares to trouble us again, it’s my turn to protect you," Xiao Manxuan said with a laugh, determined to have her moment.
