NOVPUBThe buzz cut man immediately mocked the man in black: "Wow, you're that ugly? How did the beauty come to despise you like this?"
The man in black felt utterly humiliated and grew angry with embarrassment, thinking the other was doing it on purpose. He tried to grab Xia Qingrou's hand: "You motherf——"
However, before he could finish his sentence or touch Xia Qingrou, Xia Yusi furiously kicked him in the chest, sending him stumbling back several steps.
With that kick, the atmosphere abruptly changed, and four burly men surrounded Shen Mochen and his companions with hostile expressions.
Under normal circumstances, as a Superpower User, Xia Qingrou could have easily taken down these few men using her superpowers in a real fight.
Regrettably, the opponents didn't seem to have any will to fight right now and were just retching loudly.
"Kid, what are you gonna do about it?" the stout man said, grabbing Shen Mochen's face and threatening with a sinister tone.
The buzz cut man's eyes roamed over the Xia sisters and with a sneering smile, he said, "If you want to leave today, I'm afraid you'll have to leave these two beauties behind…"
The man in black, clutching his chest, kept a stern face in silence, his gaze almost tearing Xia Yusi's clothes apart in his mind, desperately wanting to vent.
Xia Yusi whispered softly to Shen Mochen, "Just bear with it a bit longer, I've already called the police…"
Shen Mochen acted as if he hadn't heard her and stepped forward, smiling at the stout man and others, "We go way back, let's just forget about today."
The stout man erupted in laughter and patted Shen Mochen's face: "Old pals, who the fuck is an old pal of yours?"
"Ah... your words really hurt, no wonder they say important people forget things," Shen Mochen said with a rueful shake of his head, "I've made you guys so much money, how could you forget your benefactor?"
The four men were stunned for a moment, not yet reacting, but then they saw Shen Mochen gently pushing away the stout man's hand, his expression darkening: "Did you enjoy that?"
It was then that the tall man seemed to remember something and his eyes trembled with disbelief: "You, you…"
Shen Mochen smiled, revealing his ghastly white teeth, his voice chilling and deep:
"I want to ask, are you looking for death?"
The four became instantly petrified, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, a fear emanating from the very depths of their souls.
This devil-like voice left a profound imprint on them, but they never expected to encounter it again so soon.
Not long ago, they had been ruthlessly beaten by a devil-like youth, who also left them with those chilling words.
That youth wasn't human; they had never seen a devil so brutally fierce, heartlessly cold. Almost instantly, they had all lost their ability to fight, in an utterly tragic manner.
During the first few days in the hospital, they were all slightly mentally disturbed; sometimes they dreamt that the youth had returned, waking up drenched in cold sweat.
Now they were recklessly squandering and indulging themselves daily partly to numb themselves. Only in the midst of frivolously spending money and toying with women could they feel some pleasure and peace. Usually, they tacitly agreed never to mention that night's ordeal, not out of shame, but as an instinctive way of escaping from fear.
That was a devil; they could only flee far from the devil. That was a nightmare; they didn't want to recall it again.
But now, the devil had reappeared. Such is life, they unexpectedly met again.
The same voice, the same tone.
The tall man soaked his pants; he had lost control again.
The other three were no better off; their legs trembled, their faces contorted for a while, quickly turning into a greasy, nauseating obsequiousness.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" the stout man knelt down, vigorously slapping his own face: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please forgive me!"
Having just slapped Shen Mochen's face, now only the crisp sound of slaps on his own face gave him some sense of security.
The other three also rushed to kneel and apologize, their faces buried in the ground, their buttocks sticking up high.
Their voices were filled with fear, a fear devoid of any desire to resist.
Thinking about the boy's methods from earlier, they shivered all over. The fat one even turned his own face into that of a real pig.
Xia Qingrou and Xia Yusi looked astonished; they couldn't understand why these men, who had just been so aggressive, suddenly knelt before Shen Mochen.
What exactly had he done to make these four burly men tremble and beg for mercy on the ground?
"Enough, I'm too young to have you several grandsons," Shen Mochen said with a cold smile, looking down at everyone from above, "It's not the New Year; there's no lucky money for your kowtows, get up."
"Yes, yes, yes…" The men breathed a sigh of relief, scrambling to their feet.
The buzz-cut man, quick-witted, swallowed his saliva, "I didn't expect you to be so handsome… If we had known it was you, even if we had ten times the courage, we wouldn't dare to flirt with the ladies!"
The man in black, aware of his "deep sin," as he had thought of harassing the women, quickly followed up with sycophancy, full of subservience, "I knew you were no ordinary person, truly as devastatingly handsome as to be inhuman, only such stunning beauties as these ladies are worthy of you!"
The remaining two men also chimed in, while internally they lamented.
How would they have known that the young man with his hair covering half his face looked so good!
You look so good, why cover your face at all! Do we even deserve to show our faces then!
Shen Mochen frowned, seemingly impatient with their flattery.
"Flattering me won't help; you know who you've offended."
The four men then realized and immediately turned to kneel in front of Xia Qingrou and Xia Yusi.
Their dignity was long gone for the evening, this wasn't just an act. And repeatedly, if Shen Mochen really took action, it might be more ruthless than the last time.
Now, they could only pitifully give a miserable apology in hopes of receiving Shen Mochen's forgiveness.
"I'm sorry, sisters, I was vile, it was my fault, I won't dare do it again!"
"I'm sorry, sorry, sisters, I didn't know you were the big brother's women… Otherwise, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to speak rudely to you!"
"Sisters, you are beautiful and kind, please forgive me, I still have parents to support at home…"
"Please, be magnanimous and let us off like passing gas! We're just a piece of crap, stepping on us would dirty your shoes!"
Xia Yusi was still not over the shock, but seeing their behavior, she showed disgust on her face.
"Get lost, just don't let me see you again! And stop harassing women!"
Xia Yusi waved her hand, Shen Mochen had let them make the decision; it was clear enough, that was enough.
She didn't know how Shen Mochen had subdued them, but since those men hadn't actually done anything, and now were kowtowing and self-harming, her anger had subsided.
"Thank you, sisters, thank you!" The four men hastily expressed their gratitude, not caring that Xia Qingrou hadn't spoken, for delay could change things, they got up and ran, "We're leaving, we're leaving!"
She couldn't be bothered to give another glance at the four men who fled like bereaved dogs, instead, she fixed her gaze intently on Shen Mochen, her eyes bright with admiration.
Such an impressive student, with the intelligence gathered today, she became increasingly interested in Shen Mochen.
Today, it seemed that her sister's illness hadn't improved, but strangely, there was no repulsion towards Shen Mochen; could this really be fate?
Xia Yusi looked at Shen Mochen's face, her heart skipping a beat.
"Sisters... hehehe…" Xia Yusi chuckled softly.
