Novel Full Chapter 12 - 12
"What are you trying to do here? This is not your turf!" the lady owner called Sister Wang shouted at the leader after he throws the table upside down.
Afraid that a fight will soon start, the workers quickly disperse as they hid in all available corners. Not even a single one of them dare to stand up beside their boss as she was threatened by the hooligans and their leader.
"Sister Wang! I'm sure you don't want your nicely decorated Full Moon Restaurant to turn into a mess before the dinner starts. Why bother fighting against us?" the leader continued. The speed he changed his attitude is faster than a kid flipping their coloring book.
The leader soon extends two of his fingers out at his followers for a cigarette. Lit and ready to be taken, he took a deep puff of the smoke into his lungs while waiting for sister Wang's reply.
"You!" sister Wang pointed her finger at the leader and massaged her own forehead due to all the headache. Even the pair of heels she's wearing seems to be giving up as her legs wobbled slightly.
"Stein, look for a way to help me. I can accept being poor, but I can't accept this when so many people are ganging up on a weak woman like her!" Zhang Qin Feng dropped the two boxes of roast duck breasts and went forward.
In a flash, he appeared by sister Wang's side and supported her before falling to the ground.
"You..." Zhang Qin Feng's arrival was like a stalk of bamboo that allowed her to keep herself standing firm on the ground. But at the same time, a question pops up in her mind.
'Did I have a staff like him? Why the hell he's not wearing our restaurant's working uniform? Late to work? Acting like a hero by saving me so I won't cut his salary, perhaps?' so many questions came to her mind as Zhang Qin Feng kept his palm on her waist.
'Wah... The feeling of a woman's fabric felt so soft to touch. This waist... What a curve...' Zhang Qin Feng maintains his sharp gaze at the group of hooligans while his mind runs wild.
"Boy, acting like a hero won't bring you anything good. Why not you be an obedient worker like the others and go to the corner while I'm talking to your boss?" the leader said. He put two fingers out as he speaks to Zhang Qin Feng.
'Do - Do we have a staff like him?' those working as the waiters and waitresses looked at one another asked around without making a noise, but none of them knew who Zhang Qin Feng is. Only those working in the kitchen do.
"Aren't that boy the delivery worker from Old Chen's Cash and Carry? What brings him here?" one of the chefs whispered.
"Stupid. Did you forget that we've ordered two boxes of roast duck breasts for tonight's special, the Boneless Duck with Plum Sauce?" the head chef gave the other chef a knock on his head.
[Information to the user. Out of the fifteen people before you, only the one in the black shirt are slightly better than you in term of status allocation. Based on your current fitness level, you're capable of defeating three people before ganging up on you]
[Advise. Fight right here and went to the stairs after you take two of them down. Afterward, maintain your advantages of standing a few steps above them as you restrict them from coming up to you]
[Additionally, you can try to use the Breathing Technique to add to your palm's strength. I will help you to adjust your breathing accordingly]
'Great job, Stein!' after listening to the advice he's been waiting for, Zhang Qin Feng slowly let go of the waist of sister Wang.
"Fifteen big men ganging up on a beautiful lady like her is a disgraceful act. What's your problem? Can't it wait?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. From his tone, it's like telling them to come back and talk later.
"Hehe... Hahaha! Have you watched too many martial art movies? Are you trying to talk to me right now?" the leader laughed.
"Get him for me. How dare a nobody talks back to one of the three leaders of Xuanwu Clan as he like?" the leader threw the cigarette in his hand down on the carpet floor and gave it a stomp.
"Go get him!" three of the hooligans came forward as they stretched their muscles and cracked their knuckles. One of them started first by sending a jab at Zhang Qin Feng's jaw.
**Dok!**
The attack connected. But it wasn't the jab sent by one of the hooligans.
By relying on his speed, Zhang Qin Feng's attack arrived first as the bottom of his wrist went in like an uppercut to his opponent's chin. It immediately took the hooligan out before he's able to voice out any comment.
"What?" everyone was stunned. Although Zhang Qin Feng hardly seems or move like a martial artist, his blow was close to one.
The two other hooligans were staring blankly at their unconscious mate as he collapsed on the floor.
"Yo - You!" the other two turned around and send a few jabs at Zhang Qin Feng. A hint of worry came into their mind as they're afraid to meet with a similar ending.
But unfortunately for them, Zhang Qin Feng knew what's in their mind the moment they turned around. The short life and death experience in the apocalypse made him much more decisive than before.
"Ah! No!" Zhang Qin Feng punched one of the guys before he kicked the other on his upper thigh. In a flash, he subdued three opponents without breaking a sweat.
"This... Dururu..." the leader almost gave the order for everyone to charge at Zhang Qin Feng. But a phone call interrupted him before he gave out that order.
"Hello?" he answered the call like it was an urgent one. With one hand holding the phone, he pointed at Zhang Qin Feng with a fierce expression.
"Yes... Alright, I'll bring our men and come back right now. No worries, there won't be a problem at all." the leader talked on the phone for a few minutes and prepared to leave.
"You're lucky that your Manyue Restaurant is safe today. Our big brother says we've found somewhere better to park our club. But take note, sister Wang... Sooner or later, these kids, the restaurant, and you will belong to me. Instead of struggling, why not you surrender it to me obediently before I'm forced to take action?" he said.
"Get the hell out of my restaurant. Even if I'm going to close this branch down, I will not give up my restaurant to the people like you!" sister Wang held her fist in between her chest as she replied the leader loudly.
"Ceh!" the leader spit a mouthful of saliva on the floor as he walked away. The others quickly followed him to the door while dragging the three defeated mates of theirs.
"Oh! By the way..." he suddenly turned around as he remembered something important.
"With the skills like yours, why bother working here for sister Wang? If you follow me, I can assure you that you'll have different girls to sleep beside you every night, stacks of cash to use as paper to light your cigarette, and more."
"Come work with me." the leader said. Throwing the mobile phone away to one of his boys, the leader unbuttons his jacket.
[Careful, user!]
Stein's reminder came a little late as the leader already made his move towards Zhang Qin Feng.
**Zup!**
A card is placed between Zhang Qin Feng's lips as the leader appeared in front of him with a hand grabbing his moving fist.
"Although Suihe is small, there's a lot of dragons living here. Having some strength is good, but don't be over-confident... You're strong, but not too strong..."
"Keep my card and remember... I'm Hei Mang. Black python of the Xuanwu Clan. If you're not with me, then try to not stand against me."
"Till we met again. And sister Wang... I'll make sure I'll savor that cleavage of yours when you became my woman. Let's go, boys!" the leader said.
From less than a minute of Hei Mang's performance, it explained where did his strength for toppling a table over a hundred kilograms come from.
Author's Note:
A Xuanwu or Black Turtle came with a turtle body and snake tail. Hence Hei - Black / Mang - Python was a naming sense I came up with to make the story interesting. What do you think the other two leaders' names will be?
