Chapter 83: An Encounter at the Game Arcade (2/2)

“Damn it!”

Thinking of this, Bashin and Chin Gentsaididn’t wait for Huang Hao’s decision and ran over with their pool cues.

Zhao Qingfeng quickly pulled Zhang Yang back and they ran out of the arcade.

The arcade had quite a few players, some of whom noticed the commotion and decided to watch the excitement.

Huang Hao looked around, then followed his two companions out the door after a moment of thought.

At this point,

Zhao Qingfeng and Zhang Yang were cornered against the outside wall.

Chin Gentsai, weighing over three hundred pounds, stood like a tower, his sweat stench making them dizzy.

Bashin blocked the way with the pool cue and looked back at Huang Hao, “Brother Hao, are we fighting here or should we take them outside?”

Huang Hao, without answering, pushed past Chin Gentsai and frowned at Zhao Qingfeng, “What are you doing here, bringing a kid to look for revenge?”

“Don’t think I’m scared of you. That bloodied man locked up back there is your uncle, right? I’ve already found out he’s nothing.”

Zhang Yang, who knew about Zhang Wuping hiring Huang Hao, didn’t wait for Zhao Qingfeng to respond. He turned and shouted, “You’re Huang Hao? What do you want, a fight? Come on, let’s go one-on-one outside!”

Right after he spoke,

Chen Guohan suddenly grabbed Zhang Yang’s neck.

The big man’s strength almost choked Zhang Yang, who started coughing violently.

Huang Hao quickly told Chen Guohan to let go and asked Zhao Qingfeng again about his purpose for coming.

Zhao Qingfeng, observing Huang Hao’s behavior, noticed that although he acted tough, his tone was softer than expected. He guessed Huang Hao must have some concerns, “Huang Hao, you know why I’m here, so why ask?”

“…”

Huang Hao suddenly fell silent and glared at Ba Shen.

Bashin panicked and started to explain hastily, “Brother, I swear I didn’t tell anyone about the incident where you got scared and messed your pants. He saw it himself…”

So that was it.

Zhao Qingfeng chuckled inwardly.

Having grown up in the county town, he knew very well that for street thugs, reputation was sometimes more important than life.

Looking at Huang Hao’s reaction, the incident had not spread yet.

And as the small-time thug leader, his biggest concern was likely about his reputation being tarnished.

“Scared and messed your pants?”

Zhang Yang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Huang Hao’s face instantly turned dark, and he glanced back at the door to make sure no one had come out.

He stared at Zhao Qingfeng, his expression growing fiercer.

Just as he was about to say something,

the door was suddenly pushed open, and a dozen players walked out, ready to enjoy the spectacle.

Huang Hao’s heart shattered.

He knew that if Zhao Qingfeng revealed the embarrassing incident, his years of built-up ‘reputation’ would be ruined.

In the underworld, truth and falsehoods didn’t matter; the story could get twisted into something like him crying, losing control of his bladder and bowels, and begging for mercy.

Huang Hao clenched his fists, his brow furrowed into a ‘川’ shape.

The metal rod was in his pocket, ready to strike Zhao Qingfeng’s head if he dared to speak out.

“What’s going on, Hao?”

“Who are these two, the guy you beat up in the alley, Zhao Qingfeng?”

“Didn’t you already beat him up? You want to do it again?”

“Go easy this time, okay? Keep it away from the boss’s place.”

The crowd watched with amusement, unaware of what had really happened in the alley, still thinking Huang Hao was ‘valiant’.

Huang Hao didn’t respond, his mind a mix of tension and anger, flooded with thoughts.

But just standing there wasn’t going to solve anything. There had to be a way out.

Zhao Qingfeng glanced around, then seeing Zhang Yang about to speak recklessly, quickly stopped him.

After Zhang Yang quieted down, Zhao Qingfeng surveyed the crowd and then looked at Huang Hao, uttering a sentence that left everyone stunned.
