Chapter 215: Lesson

Hearing Lin Xiao, whom they had completely ignored, daring to call them mere petty thugs, Li Bao and his gang were infuriated. Some of the thugs even stepped forward, angrily preparing to teach Lin Xiao a lesson.

What enraged them more was that the beautiful Su Mengjia, whom they had been ogling, smiled at Lin Xiao. She seemed entirely unconcerned with them as if they truly were insignificant hooligans. At that moment, they lost all sense of reason.

“Pretty boy!”

Li Bao grabbed a beer bottle from a nearby table and swung it viciously at Lin Xiao’s head.

Seeing Li Bao actually swing the beer bottle at Lin Xiao’s head, the restaurant owner was terrified and shouted, “Brother Panther, don’t…”

But before she could finish her sentence, she was completely stunned. Li Bao, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was suddenly lifted into the air.

With a loud crash, he flew to the restaurant entrance, letting out a miserable scream.

“Brother Panther!”

The thugs were shocked. They had never expected that Lin Xiao, who didn’t even look particularly strong and whom they had completely dismissed, could fight so well. They hurriedly scrambled to help Li Bao up.

Li Bao was helped up by his subordinates. His face twisted in pain, and he glared at Lin Xiao.

He shouted, “What are you standing around for? Get him! Make that pretty boy pay.”

The thugs, seeing their boss angry, dared not hesitate. Each grabbed a beer bottle, shouting and rushing aggressively toward Lin Xiao.

Four or five thugs charged at him menacingly. It would have been quite intimidating for average people. The restaurant owner, who had just recovered from the shock, turned pale with fear. However, Su Mengjia, knowing Lin Xiao’s strength, wasn’t worried at all. She could handle these thugs herself, let alone Lin Xiao.

As expected, Lin Xiao casually grabbed a large lobster from a nearby table, a cold smile playing on his lips.

“Weren’t you hungry? Let me treat you to some lobster.”

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, large lobsters flew like bullets toward the oncoming thugs. Instantly, the thugs who had been rushing in aggressively were now clutching their mouths with muffled cries. Bright red blood seeped through their fingers.

The once-intimidating thugs each had a large lobster stuffed in their mouths, blood streaming from their lips.

Even though Su Mengjia had immense confidence in Lin Xiao, she couldn’t help but be stunned. Her mouth hung open, unable to close.

Using lobsters as weapons and hitting every thug squarely in the mouth with such precision was something Su Mengjia had never seen before. She had never even heard of it.

“This….”

The restaurant owner also widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at the scene before her.

While Su Mengjia and the restaurant owner were in shock, Lin Xiao casually grabbed beer bottles from the table and smashed them over the thugs’ heads one by one.

With the sound of shattering glass, the thugs clutched their heads and screamed in pain. The only one left standing was Li Bao, who looked pale and dazed at Lin Xiao. His lips trembled, but he couldn’t say a word.

Li Bao had never expected that the pretty boy could fight so well. As a notorious gang leader in the area, Li Bao had been in countless fights, but he had never encountered someone as formidable as Lin Xiao, nor someone who fought in such an unconventional manner.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao had defeated both Li Bao and his gang.

Not only was Li Bao terrified and speechless, but the other customers and the restaurant owner were also left with their mouths agape, utterly astonished.

The locals knew how domineering these thugs were, often bullying others in the area. They had never seen them in such a miserable state.

“Brother Panther, right? Can you leave now?” Lin Xiao asked coldly.

He walked up to Li Bao with a sneer, completely unfazed by the astonished expressions around him.

“Bi… Big Brother… I… I’ll get lost right away!”

Li Bao was completely terrified of Lin Xiao’s skills. Despite being the gang leader in this area, he could only nod repeatedly in front of Lin Xiao.

Li Bao hastily kicked a nearby lackey who was still screaming in pain, “Why the hell are you lying there? Get up and move!”

The lackeys scrambled to their feet and crawled out of the restaurant. They were utterly terrified of Lin Xiao’s formidable skills.

“Wait.”

Just as they reached the door, they heard the dreaded voice call out. Li Bao’s body stiffened, and he turned around with a fearful expression, bowing slightly, “Is there… is there anything else you need?”

“You made a mess of the owner’s restaurant, broke dishes and bowls, and scared the customers. Don’t you think you should compensate for that?” Lin Xiao asked calmly, looking at the disarrayed restaurant and then at Li Bao.

Li Bao was taken aback but quickly understood. He hurried over to the restaurant owner, took out five or six red banknotes from his pocket, and handed them to her.

“No need, no need, it’s alright,” the owner said, waving her hands nervously, not daring to take Li Bao’s money.

“This…” Li Bao looked at Lin Xiao, unsure of what to do.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao understood the owner’s hesitation and smiled, “Madam, running a business is tough. You should take the money.”

“As for him,” Lin Xiao glanced at Li Bao and continued, “Don’t worry, he won’t cause you any more trouble. Right? After all, I like the food here.”

Lin Xiao’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at Li Bao.

“Yes, yes, I promise I won’t,” Li Bao said, his scalp tingling with fear under Lin Xiao’s gaze.

Seeing the notorious gang leader reduced to such a state, the owner couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly and finally accepted the money.

Li Bao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Xiao with a trace of apprehension, “Then… can I leave now?”

“Get lost.”

“Yes, yes, I’m leaving right away.”

With that, Li Bao hurriedly left the restaurant with his battered lackeys.

“Thank you, thank you so much,” the restaurant owner said gratefully to Lin Xiao. “You have no idea how arrogant those thugs were. They’ve been bullying everyone around here, extorting protection money.”

“No problem, they came to cause us trouble. Don’t worry about it,” Lin Xiao replied with a smile.

After persuading the grateful restaurant owner to leave, Lin Xiao calmly returned to his seat. To him, this was just a minor incident during lunch.
