Chapter 17: Has the Protagonist Become a Thug?:
“I’ll avenge this humiliation someday!”
Downing one drink after another, Long Tian’s violent aura was still incredibly strong. Before returning to the country, his life had been smooth, seemingly free of setbacks. But since his return, troubles had come one after another, wounding his pride and self-esteem.
“Humph! Yao Huaimeng, you’re no longer worthy of being my wife, at best you can be a mistress!”
Long Tian had made up his mind. Yao Huaimeng no longer deserved the title of his wife and would be reduced to a mere secret lover to him. He even fantasized about her future regret.
“Humph!”
Thinking about this, Long Tian smirked again, causing the bartender making his drinks to feel awkward. If it weren’t for the tips, he would’ve left already. Constantly changing expressions, was this guy insane?
“Should I use my old contacts from my mercenary days?”
Long Tian considered using the valuable connections he had built as a mercenary. He was reluctant, though, as they were too precious to waste now.
At this moment, a couple of girls tried to approach him. Being the protagonist, it was natural for women to be drawn to him. But Long Tian merely glanced at them with disdain.
“These ordinary women dare approach me?”
In Long Tian’s eyes, only women of extraordinary beauty were worthy of him. These ordinary women didn’t stand a chance.
“But how could such a bar have a beauty of that caliber?”
With that thought, Long Tian scoffed and downed another drink. Feeling sufficiently drunk, he decided to entertain these ordinary women for a bit. He deserved some enjoyment after being back for so long.
But then!
As he put down his glass, a passing figure stunned him.
“So beautiful!”
It was Qu Yingmeng coming out of the restroom. Her striking presence caught Long Tian's heated gaze. She recognized him as well. She frowned and quickened her pace, wanting to avoid any interaction with him.
Perhaps Long Tian was slightly drunk, he approached her directly and blocked her path.
“Hey there, beautiful. I’m Long Tian. Let’s get to know each other.”
He maintained his arrogant demeanor.
“I don’t want to know you. Move aside!”
Qu Yingmeng hadn’t expected to be pestered by Long Tian. She stepped back, trying to bypass him.
“No rush, beauty! It’s still early. What’s the harm in getting to know each other?”
Such a stunning woman should belong to him. Long Tian blocked her again.
...
The previously quiet bar suddenly became noisy.
“Huh?”
Ye Liuyun, who was drinking, was momentarily stunned.
[Is that Qu Yingmeng?]
Seeing her involved in the commotion, Ye Liuyun put down his drink and walked over.
...
“Sir, if you continue this, we’ll call the police!”
By the time Ye Liuyun arrived, several security guards were already down, and it was Long Tian who had taken them out.
Normally, Long Tian would heed such threats, but now, intoxicated, he was defiant.
“I just want to get to know this lady. You attacked first, I merely defended myself.”
Long Tian saw nothing wrong with his actions.
[What’s going on, the thug is actually the protagonist?]
Ye Liuyun blinked in confusion. The plot was becoming incomprehensible.
Hearing his thoughts, Qu Yingmeng noticed Ye Liuyun approaching.
“Liuyun!”
She ran over and threw herself into his arms, leaving Ye Liuyun bewildered.
[What’s happening?]
Ye Liuyun hadn’t grasped the situation yet, and Qu Yingmeng was already in his embrace. Her alluring scent almost overwhelmed him.
“You again!”
Long Tian, who had been acting arrogantly, noticed this and his face darkened. His woman had thrown herself into another man’s arms. Upon recognizing Ye Liuyun, the man who had previously humiliated him, Long Tian’s expression grew even darker.
[What’s going on here!]
[So chaotic!]
[The thug turned out to be the protagonist himself!]
[Never mind, as long as the plot continues]
Ye Liuyun quickly regained his composure. Facing Long Tian’s angry glare, he cleared his throat.
“Ahem, it’s you again!”
He moved Qu Yingmeng behind him protectively. She, who usually exuded charm, now behaved like a demure woman in front of Ye Liuyun without any objections.
“Looks like the lesson I taught you last time wasn’t enough.”
Adjusting his sleeves, Ye Liuyun’s calm demeanor provoked a laugh from Long Tian. His anger turned into disdain.
“Do you really think you’re my match?”
Though Long Tian had been embarrassed before, he believed it was due to underestimating Ye Liuyun. He was confident that if he took things seriously, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t stand a chance.
“Is that so?”
[You don’t realize I’m not the same as before]
[Get ready to meet my enhanced skills!]
Qu Yingmeng and the others were initially worried when they saw Ye Liuyun about to fight, but his confident thoughts reassured them. Yes, Ye Liuyun had some hidden tricks up his sleeves!
...
“Today, I’ll give you a proper lesson!”
Fueled by past grudges and current anger, Long Tian attacked without holding back and charged towards Ye Liuyun.
“Eight Iron Fists of the Mountain! ”
“Bang!”
Ye Liuyun’s powerful move sent Long Tian flying. In mid-air, Long Tian looked bewildered.
"Who am I? Where am I? Why am I flying?"
Ye Liuyun didn’t care about Long Tian’s confusion. With his enhanced abilities, his martial arts were now even more formidable!
