chapter 17 Giving birth to a son should be like Alexander Xu

"No, Brother Mark, what are you doing?"
Barry Ye was quite puzzled by Brother Mark's respectful attitude towards Alexander Xu.
Just then, Alexander Xu beckoned to Brother Mark, "Did you come here to deal with me? Come on, hit me."
Brother Mark stepped back two paces, "I dare not, I dare not."
Alexander Xu insisted, "Hit me."
Brother Mark kept waving his hands, "I really dare not, I really dare not..."
The onlookers were dumbfounded by this scene.
What's going on here?
They all knew Brother Mark, a notorious figure in the nearby area.
But now, instead of attacking, he seemed scared and hesitant...
"Brother Xu, I really messed up, I know I was wrong!"
Brother Mark looked like he was about to collapse. He slapped himself twice in the face and then kicked the young man who had caused trouble earlier, knocking him to the ground.
"What are you still staring at? This is Brother Xu. You, this guy, dare to provoke him?"
This scene left many people shocked!
Even Luna Wang and Alan Xu couldn't make sense of it.
Brother Mark, the local bigshot, seemed so afraid of their son!
"Brother Mark, did you mistake him for someone else? He just got out of prison, he's nobody!" Barry Ye said.
"Slap!"
Brother Mark gave Barry Ye a backhand slap across the face. He roared, "You're the nobody here! How dare you speak to Brother Xu in that tone? You've had enough of living!"
"Kneel down!"
Now, Brother Mark was even considering killing Barry Ye. If it weren't for this guy, he wouldn't have ended up in Alexander Xu's hands.
Barry Ye knelt on the ground, his face pale. He was still defiant. "Brother Mark, have you lost your mind? Do you even know who I'm working for?"
"I don't care who you're working for!" Brother Mark kicked Barry Ye to the ground and didn't hold back, slapping him twice more.
"Slap! Slap!"
These slaps were powerful and clear.
In a matter of seconds, Barry Ye's face swelled up like a pig's head, and blood was dripping from his mouth and nose.
Brother Mark sneakily glanced at Alexander Xu, who remained expressionless. His fear and unease grew even stronger. "If you dare to disrespect Mr. Xu again, I'll skin you alive!"
The customers standing by, watching this spectacle, were all in shock.
What's going on?
How did the people who came to cause trouble end up fighting among themselves?
Barry Ye was furious and couldn't accept this. He shouted hoarsely, "Brother Mark, you've got it wrong! He's just a loser! I even took his girlfriend!"
"What? You dared to cuckold Brother Xu? You damn animal!" Brother Mark slapped Barry Ye again. "Brother Xu didn't hit you; that's his tolerance. Don't push your luck!"
"Hit me?"
Barry Ye turned pale. Just a few days ago, Alexander Xu had indeed beaten him.
He felt a surge of anger at the memory and defiantly shouted, "That's because he's a loser; otherwise, why would his girlfriend be with me?"
"You still dare to argue!"
Brother Mark was furious, did this get him killed by this guy today?
He stormed into the shop, grabbed a stool, and started smashing it on Barry Ye, raining blows down upon him.
"Crack!"
Barry Ye was writhing in pain on the ground, bones in his body might have broken. He looked like a pile of mud, finally submitting.
"Stop, Brother Mark, I know I was wrong!"
Brother Mark coldly snorted, grabbed him by the neck, and said menacingly, "Kid, listen carefully, Mr. Xu isn't bothering with you; that's because he's magnanimous!"
Then he lowered his voice a bit and said, "Brother, let me level with you. I can't beat him. Even if everyone here joined forces, it wouldn't be enough to take him down. Do you understand?"
"If you want to seek death, don't drag us down. We have our own hardships in this line of work."
Hearing this, Barry Ye's eyes widened in disbelief.
Alexander Xu can fight so well?
Since when?
"Brother Mark, are you sure you're not making a mistake?" Barry Ye said begrudgingly.
"Making a mistake?" Brother Mark coldly snorted, then bit his lip and lifted his shirt, revealing a clear wound.
"See this? This is what Brother Xu left me with yesterday..."
He emphasized every word, causing Barry Ye to gasp for breath, his heart pounding in his throat.
Brother Mark released his grip on Barry Ye's neck and kicked the troublemaker from earlier.
"Everyone, kneel!"
In an instant, more than a dozen people knelt in front of the noodle shop.
Following suit, Brother Mark also kneeled.
"Mr. Xu, today we didn't come here to make trouble intentionally. I truly didn't know it was you!"
"I'll remember this place. It belongs to Uncle and Auntie, right? In the future, anyone who dares to cause trouble here, I'll be the first to stop them!"
"Please, Mr. Xu, spare me, just this one time!"
Barry Ye, filled with resentment, had been quite close to Alexander Xu before. This guy usually had a mild personality, and Barry Ye could bully him without repercussions.
Now, he felt humiliated.
However, even though he was unwilling, he knew that if he said anything more, Brother Mark would definitely kill him.
"Just this one time?" Alexander Xu squinted his eyes and approached Brother Mark. He lightly patted Brother Mark on the shoulder twice. "Brother Mark, haven't you done this sort of thing many times before?"
"Planting evidence, bullying neighbors, it's not easy for anyone. You have many people backing you up, but this doesn't leave any room for others to survive, you know?"
These words were spoken with great righteousness and received loud cheers from the surrounding crowd.
Normally, who hadn't been a victim of Brother Mark's extortion? Who hadn't been beaten up by his thugs?
But the shop owners had no choice but to endure it, for fear of reprisals.
"I... I..."
Brother Mark's teeth chattered. He knew he was in the wrong, but he couldn't find the words to say.
Alexander Xu gave a cold snort and was about to speak when he was stopped by Luna Wang. She was afraid of causing more trouble and said, "Alexander, let it go, let it go."
Seeing this, Brother Mark hurriedly followed suit, "Mr. Xu, I really know I was wrong. I'll compensate Uncle and Auntie here. From now on, I won't cause any trouble on this street!"
He then thumped his head on the ground, and blood started to seep from his forehead.
"He hit my dad, please consider this." Alexander Xu looked at Brother Mark coldly and pointed at the young man.
"I understand, I get it!"
Brother Mark, full of gratitude, raised his head. He reached down and grabbed a stool leg from the ground, then viciously swung it at the young man's arm.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound of bones breaking filled the air.
Countless people were shocked, and Luna Wang and Alan Xu turned away.
Alexander Xu's expression eased slightly. He kicked Brother Mark to the ground, saying, "Take your people and get out!"
Brother Mark, as if he had received a pardon, expressed his gratitude and left with his henchmen, feeling ashamed.
"Alexander Xu, well done!"
Cheers erupted, and applause thundered through the air.
"Luna Wang, your son is something!"
"Yes, normally these troublemakers cause so much chaos. Now with Alexander Xu around, we benefit too!"
"Having a son like Alexander Xu is truly remarkable!"
