chapter 16 It's pretty light to hit you.

"Hmm?" The young man furrowed his brows, and attempted to pull away, but couldn't budge as if he were gripped by iron clamps. "Who the hell are you?"
"You hit my dad, and you're asking who I am? You scumbag, come outside with me!"
With a stern face, Alexander Xu dragged the young man outside and then bent his knee, delivering a swift blow.
"Bang!" The young man curled up in pain, groaning.
"Alexander Xu! You dare to hit me!"
Alexander Xu squinted his eyes and thought.
This guy could actually call him by his name. It seemed like he was deliberately looking for trouble!
"Hitting you was being lenient!"
With a powerful slap, Alexander Xu sent him flying, his mouth bleeding.
"Stop it, son, don't hit him anymore!"
"We're just ordinary folks; we can't fight these hooligans!"
Luna Wang rushed out anxiously, blocking Alexander Xu.
With his mother's command, Alexander Xu coldly snorted and let go of his grip.
The young man grimaced in pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and grumbled, "Kid, you're finished, you're finished!"
"In broad daylight, you dare to commit violence. None of you are any good!"
"Everyone, come and see, don't ever eat here again. They turn real money into fake money!"
Alexander Xu's anger flared up, and he was about to charge forward.
"Don't be impulsive. You just got out; you can't afford to act recklessly!"
Luna Wang implored, tears streaming down her face. Alan Xu, on the other hand, was itching to intervene but dared not, fearing things would escalate.
"Scared? Chicken out?"
The young man smirked and approached, taunting, "Alexander Xu, come on, keep hitting me, hit me in the head! As long as you dare to lay a finger on me, I can send you back to jail!"
"Who sent you?"
Alexander Xu narrowed his eyes, sensing that this guy had come for him.
"You're not qualified to know!" The young man coldly huffed, his head held high. "Today, I'm going to wreck this crappy shop of yours. If you dare to stop me, we'll see what happens!"
With that, he charged into the shop and started smashing things.
The clattering sound of destruction echoed. Alexander Xu couldn't bear to watch his parents' hard work go to waste. Enraged, he clenched his fist and landed a solid punch on the young man's nose.
"Ah!"
With a cracking sound, the young man's nasal bone shattered, and he writhed on the floor in pain.
"Get lost!"
Alexander Xu grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the ground.
"Alexander Xu, how dare you? Later, I'll make you kneel down and lick the blood off my head!"
He took out his phone and made a call…
Today, Brother Mark was in a good mood, having just accepted a big contract to deal with two old guys, for which he was getting twenty thousand dollars.
This money was practically free!
"Stay calm," Brother Mark told Barry Ye, the money in hand, with a casual smile. "With my little brother helping out, we'll handle this job beautifully for you."
"Yes, yes."
Barry Ye showed a pleased expression but concealed a deep-seated resentment.
Alexander Xu, you scumbag, I hope you go down this time!
At that moment, Brother Mark's phone rang unexpectedly, so he answered without much thought. "What? You got beaten up?"
"Damn it, dared to mess with my little brother; I won't let him off easily!"
He hung up, his face filled with anger, then stood up.
"Brother Mark, what's going on?" Barry Ye asked.
"Ran into troublemakers. Let's go, Brother Ye, and take a look with me!"
After saying that, he directly led a dozen people and marched aggressively.
Barry Ye followed them, secretly amused.
In this area, Brother Mark was somewhat of a figure, and Alexander Xu had dared to hit someone under his protection. Wasn't that practically courting death?
He wanted to see what fate awaited Alexander Xu.
"This is the place."
Before long, they arrived at the small noodle shop.
Brother Mark immediately spotted his battered subordinate and grew furious. "What's going on?"
"Boss, didn't you tell me to find a reason to make trouble at this crummy noodle shop?"
"Later on, the son of these two old folks came and beat me up."
The young man exaggeratedly recounted the story, ending with clenched teeth. "Brother Mark, please help me resolve this!"
"Don't worry, no matter who it is, if they dare to touch you, it's like slapping me in the face. Today, let this dump of a noodle shop taste some blood!" Brother Mark declared, storming into the shop. He shouted, "Who hit my brother just now? Step forward!"
Alexander Xu was cleaning up the mess in the shop and looked up.
Well, well, if it isn't a familiar face!
"Haha!"
At this point, Barry Ye also walked in, sporting a cruel expression on his face.
"Alexander Xu, you've finally shown yourself. Let's see how you'll die this time!"
Alexander Xu gave him a strange look. "You brought these people?"
"Yes."
Barry Ye coldly snorted, hooking his arm around Brother Mark's shoulder and proudly introduced him, "This is Brother Mark, he rules this entire area."
"You hit his people. Brother Mark said there must be bloodshed today!"
"He said to make me bleed?"
Alexander Xu's expression grew even stranger.
"Yes!"
Barry Ye couldn't be bothered with more talk, turning to Brother Mark.
"Brother Mark, this is our target for this mission, Alexander Xu! As long as you put him in the hospital, I'll gladly give you the remaining 15,000!"
But Brother Mark didn't seem to register Barry Ye's words. His gaze was fixed on the figure wielding a broom and dustpan.
Isn't this the martial artist he ran into in the alley yesterday?
This guy had taken down seven or eight of his men, and he even got slapped twice, and nearly ended up in the hospital.
Before leaving, that martial artist had threatened him. If he saw him again, he'd get another beating. And today, he had come knocking on the door himself.
This was like the unluckiest door opening for the unluckiest person!
"Brother Mark? Aren’t you going to do something?"
Seeing Brother Mark standing motionless, Barry Ye furrowed his brow.
"What am I supposed to do? Who are you, calling me Brother Mark? I don't know you!"
Brother Mark had a tense expression as he shot a quick glance at Alexander Xu.
"No... " Barry Ye said anxiously, "The five thousand dollar deposit has been given to you. You can't just receive the money and not do anything!"
"What deposit? I didn't receive any deposit. Don't frame me!"
Brother Mark nervously shifted his gaze, fearing that Alexander Xu would rush over and punch him.
"You!"
Barry Ye was bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.
When they had arrived, hadn't Brother Mark said that anyone who attacked his brother must make them bleed?
Why did things go this way?
"Boss, it was him who hit me!"
The young man spoke without tact.
With a bang, Brother Mark kicked the young man several meters away. "You deserved to be hit! I already told you, stop causing trouble. Stop causing trouble! You've treated my words like a breeze blowing past your ears!"
"Get out of here!"
With that said, Brother Mark turned on his heels and walked away.
"Wait, did I say you could leave?"
A cold and emotionless voice erupted in Brother Mark's ear, freezing him in place.
He turned to look at Alexander Xu, forcing himself to ask, "Uh, Brother Xu, do you have any further instructions?"
