Chapter 144: Better Say It Now

"You dare to dodge?" Having missed, the plump woman became even angrier and lunged forward again.

"Don\'t touch Little Aunt!" Little Jie, now furious, shoved the woman away.

Since Little Jie had grown up in the slum, she was naturally strong. Moreover, she had been practicing cultivation at school recently and had consumed more than one bottle of Starforce Reagent, making her quite powerful.

Caught off guard, the plump woman stumbled back three or four steps and nearly fell.

"You little brat..." The bald, tattooed man beside her raised his hand to slap Little Jie when he saw his woman shoved away.

Smack.

A hand appeared out of nowhere and gripped the man\'s wrist firmly.

The bald, tattooed man turned to see a tall, handsome young man who had intercepted him without him noticing.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you interfere in my business?" The bald, tattooed man struggled to free himself but couldn\'t. He started cursing, "You brat, let go of me..."

But before he could finish...

Smack.

Li Xiaofei delivered a powerful slap to his face. He had measured his strength precisely, so the bald, tattooed man spun in place, turning a full two hundred and eighty-nine degrees. Several teeth flew out of his mouth.

Crack.

The bald, tattooed man screamed in agony as a kick shattered his knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. By the time anyone could react, the burly bald man was already kneeling on the floor, screaming in pain. The commotion caught the attention of the diners in the hall.

The restaurant manager hurried over and was shocked by what she saw. Instinctively, she went to support the bald man. "Tiger? What happened to you? Who dared to hit you?"

"Ah, damn it, be gentle," Tiger growled through the excruciating pain in his broken leg.

He shoved the restaurant manager aside and glared up at Li Xiaofei. "You little bastard, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am? You\'re finished. No one can save you now. I will..."

Bang!

Li Xiaofei delivered another kick and Tiger\'s jawbone shattered. He clutched his jaw and fell writhing in pain. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he couldn\'t utter another word.

The people around them were stunned.

This young man is ruthless.

Actions spoke louder than words. Tiger had been blabbering for a while, but Li Xiaofei hadn\'t said a single word before half crippling him. The girl in the pink princess dress was also frozen in fear.

"Oh my God, he\'s killed someone!" The middle-aged woman with heavy makeup started wailing, "Is there any justice left? Stealing my things, breaking my Ningning\'s new toy, and now beating people up... Is there any law left? I\'m calling the police. Don\'t you dare leave, I\'m calling the police."

Li Xiaofei looked at the restaurant manager and said calmly, "Check the surveillance footage."

"Ah?" The high-tech-enhanced restaurant manager was stunned.

Li Xiaofei said, "Go pull up the surveillance footage. Let\'s see who really broke the toy."

The restaurant manager instinctively wanted to say something, but a sharp glance from Li Xiaofei made her quickly turn and leave.

"Don\'t be afraid," Li Xiaofei said to Little Jie, "As long as I\'m here, no one can falsely accuse you."

Little Jie nodded, feeling a bit aggrieved. She asked, "Brother, did I cause trouble for you?"

"It\'s okay," Li Xiaofei reassured her, patting her head. "We don\'t seek trouble, but we aren\'t afraid of it either."

Not to mention the emotions inherited from his past self and just considering how Little Jie had bravely faced the Blackblood Gang and the bond they had formed over these days, Little Jie was one of the closest people in his life, like a real sister. Anyone who dared to bully her would have to face him.

Little Jie nodded vigorously.

Li Xiaofei glanced at the now boiling hot pot broth and said, "Hungry? Let\'s eat first."

He helped Little Aunt back to her seat and placed the prepared sauce bowl in front of her. "Little Aunt, I\'ll cook the food for you. Just tell me what you want."

Many blind people could navigate familiar environments with ease, but they could feel quite helpless in unfamiliar settings. Li Xiaofei took care of Little Aunt, making sure to take out the cooked food immediately, dip it in the sauce, and place it in her bowl. Little Jie imitated him, and the three of them started eating as if nothing had happened.

The other diners, who had been watching curiously, were now unsettled.

Who is this young man? He caused such a commotion, hit someone, and didn’t flee?

The plump middle-aged woman took out her light core and dialed the police.

The restaurant manager returned, her tone icy, "Sorry, the surveillance system is broken."

Li Xiaofei was speechless.

Seriously? The old surveillance is broken excuse still exists five hundred years later.

Tiger was now seated on a chair, glaring venomously at Li Xiaofei. His mouth was too injured to speak.

The restaurant manager walked over to Tiger with a fawning expression. "Tiger, I’ve called your friends. They’ll be here soon."

Tiger’s face twisted with a sinister look as he glared at Li Xiaofei, his expression promising retribution. The entire restaurant fell silent. No one dared to say anything at this point.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps approached. Dozens of burly men in white tracksuits, all with shaved heads, stormed in and surrounded table twelve.

"It\'s them! That little bastard hit Tiger." The heavily made-up middle-aged woman pointed at Li Xiaofei, taking the initiative.

The leader of the group, a tall man with a shining bald head and a coiled white python tattooed on his scalp, making it look like a lazy hairstyle, stepped forward.

"Tiger, can you talk?" The leader, nicknamed Lazy Snake, asked, inspecting his friend\'s injuries.

Tiger spat out a mouthful of blood, along with some broken teeth. His face was twisted in pain and he couldn’t say a word.

"He\'s done for. He’ll need a metal jaw. His leg\'s gone too, might as well get a prosthetic," Lazy Snake hissed, drawing in a breath. "Don\'t worry, bro, I\'ll get you the best materials, better than the original. Let\'s start with a painkiller."

Turning to Li Xiaofei and his group, Lazy Snake crossed his arms and said, "Kid, you\'ve got a heavy hand. What\'s your background? Name your gang."

Li Xiaofei responded coolly, "You\'re annoying."

"Hmm?" Lazy Snake wasn\'t angry. He smiled, seemingly calm. "You\'re quite the poser. Listen, if you\'ve got some big backing or special status, better say it now. If I accidentally cripple you, it\'ll be too late to regret it after."

Li Xiaofei didn\'t even turn his head. He picked up a piece of bok choy, dipped it in sauce, and placed it in Little Aunt\'s bowl. Only then did he respond, "I don\'t care who you scumbags are. Take your trash and leave before I change my mind. I\'m here to eat with my family, not to fight."
