My beautiful group of beauties, the Red Sea Gang...
Su Ming forced a bitter smile. So, she was planning to help me settle the score for what happened earlier! What a vindictive woman. But it didn't matter. She had helped me out of a huge bind, so a punch wasn't entirely unreasonable. To show my gratitude, I should proactively offer her my cheek to punch.
"Sure, go ahead and hit me," Su Ming said, actually turning his face toward her.
Qin Yuan stared at him blankly, dumbfounded. *Is this guy a super-duper idiot? I was just kidding! Why are you taking it so seriously, you dork?*
But the words were already out. If she didn't follow through, it would be awkward for her to back down. Clenching her delicate, jade-like hands, Qin Yuan lightly tapped Su Ming's cheek. The force was so minimal it felt like mere contact. Su Ming felt nothing—not a hint of pain. *What's going on? She said she was going to hit me! Why does it feel like a mosquito bite?*
"Alright, stop pressing your face against me like that. It makes it look like you enjoy being abused by this big sister. How unsightly!" Qin Yuan said, feigning impatience, her rosy lips pouting slightly—a look that was both charming and a little arrogant.
Su Ming forced another wry smile. *So she's calling me a masochist? How rude.*
He cleared his throat. "Thanks. I'll treat you to dinner after school. Interested?"
"No interest," Qin Yuan refused immediately, thinking that if she accepted, tomorrow the whole school would be buzzing with gossip about the baboon.
Su Ming wasn't embarrassed. This proud sister rejected everyone's invitations; he was just another one on the list.
He returned to his seat. The afternoon class had already begun, and the classroom gradually quieted down. Ye Siwen slowly entered and stood at the front of the room. He adjusted his reading glasses with a touch of his hand, then his gaze settled on Su Ming.
Su Ming ignored him. Ye Siwen already knew about the fight. *I didn't even lay a hand on him, and the principal didn't do anything. What can he do?*
Ye Siwen wasn't trying to make things difficult for Su Ming; he was genuinely surprised. To return to class after such a fight and act completely unfazed—this student was truly remarkable.
"Alright, let's begin!" Ye Siwen said with a smile, opening his textbook and launching into a serious lecture. The students listened intently, though most were merely pretending. Few of the boys actually paid attention to Ye Siwen's lessons.
In the middle of the classroom, Qin Yuan kept glancing at Su Ming, carefully trying to avoid being noticed. Su Ming, meanwhile, found Ye Siwen's lecture as soporific as ever. Using his superpowers to study was far faster than listening to the teacher's explanations.
During the lecture, Ye Siwen posed two questions to Su Ming. The student answered them both swiftly and accurately. Not only did Ye Siwen look at him with newfound respect, but the entire class was now curious about Su Ming's recent academic improvement.
Su Ming naturally seized the opportunity to show off in front of everyone, grinning smugly for half the class.

"Brother-in-law! Why aren't you helping me? Why? That guy is so detestable, I can't accept this!" Yun Yong had been calling Hu Shan repeatedly since being expelled from school. Now, he was venting his frustration to Hu Shan, his face contorted with anger and resentment.
Hu Shan replied indifferently, "Yun Yong, if you don't want to die, stay away from him from now on. He's not the one to fear. What's truly terrifying is..."
"What is it?" Yun Yong asked, puzzled. His brother-in-law was an advisor at Ishida School. Outside the school, he had considerable connections, and even within the school, he was only second to the principal. Few could make him speak with such uncertainty.
"Don't ask. It's better not to know. This is my advice to you as your brother-in-law. Let this matter go. Don't seek revenge, or you'll be finished. Now, stop calling and bothering me. I have things to do." Hu Shan hung up.
Yun Yong's face darkened with fury. "Damn it! If he won't help, fine! What's so great about him anyway? I should have known. If I'd known this earlier, I would have... I would have even forced my sister to marry someone else instead of this coward!"
Li Shaofeng asked, "What's wrong? You look upset. Did your brother-in-law refuse to help us get revenge?"
"Is there anything else?" Yun Yong snorted dismissively. How could he possibly trust Hu Shan's words now? He wanted to hack Su Ming into ten pieces. "That bastard can't get away with this," he said coldly. "Li Shaofeng, doesn't your brother work for the Red Sea Gang? Su Ming crippled your left hand. You need to go tell him about this. I'm sure he'll bring his men over."
"Heh heh! I was already thinking of that. My brother won't stand by and do nothing when I'm in trouble," Li Shaofeng laughed heartily, finally venting some of his anger. "Let's go find my brother, Li Shaoyu, at the Red Sea Gang."
***
The Red Sea Gang was one of Yunyang City's major criminal organizations, second only to the Jade Forest Gang in notoriety. However, the Red Sea Gang was more ruthless, daring to engage in anything: smuggling, drug trafficking, robbery, turf wars, operating brothels—the list went on. Their leader, Donghai, was wildly ambitious, secretly seizing territory in his relentless pursuit of surpassing the Jade Forest Gang and swallowing it whole. Yet every attempt had failed. Qin Ying, the Jade Forest Gang's formidable leader, possessed exceptional abilities and cunning intelligence, crushing his schemes time after time.
Over time, Donghai could only endure, waiting for the day he could strengthen his forces enough to challenge the Jade Forest Gang. When that day came, he would strike without hesitation.
Minor clashes between the two groups were common, but they were trivial matters that never drew the attention of their superiors.
Yet this uneasy truce wouldn't last. No one could have predicted that the spark would be lit by two insignificant figures.
"Big Brother, you have to avenge me! They beat me half to death—my hand bones are broken!" Liu Shaofeng arrived at Liu Shaoyu's side, his voice choked with tears as he pleaded.
"What happened?! Damn it, your hand? Broken! Who did this?!" Liu Shaoyu's face darkened, his voice cold with fury.
"It was some guy from Class Two-Nine named Su Ming. He's beaten me up twice before, but this time he went too far—he smashed my hand with a rock and broke it."
"Hmph! How dare he! I'll make that arrogant bastard pay. He'll know what it's like to have his hand broken." Liu Shaoyu said with a dark expression. Then he asked, "Why did you get into a conflict with him? With your strength, ordinary people shouldn't stand a chance against you. Tell me everything, I want the full details."
Seeing the fury on his brother's face, Liu Shaofeng thought, *This is my chance!* He knew his brother would help him settle the score. He immediately felt smug. *With my brother's help, is there anything we can't achieve?*
After hearing the day's events, Liu Shaoyu glared at Liu Shaofeng with contempt. "You pathetic waste of space! You're a disgrace to me! Ten-plus against one, and you still couldn't win? Why don't you just go die?! You're so full of yourself when it comes to women, but you can't even handle a fight. How infuriating!"
"Brother, you don't understand! That guy seems to have some strange ability. We lost for a reason," Liu Shaofeng said. He wasn't a fool; after being defeated twice, he'd noticed something peculiar.
"Oh? Could he be a ability user?" Liu Shaoyu frowned, wondering if Su Ming was a ability user.
