Free Web NovelChapter 2123: Chapter 2320: Cattle and Sheep Move in Herds, Beasts Roam Alone
At this moment, he had just mocked Hao Jian. If Hao Jian managed to get a pentakill, it would be a slap in the face. So he couldn’t let Hao Jian get a pentakill, or else he’d lose face.
However, just then, a smile appeared on Hao Jian’s face. Admittedly, this person has some skill in stealing kills. If Liang Xiaohan were playing now, given her reaction speed, her kill would definitely be stolen.
Unfortunately, the one playing now is Hao Jian, not Liang Xiaohan. Whether in reaction speed or sensitivity, he’s many times stronger. Just when that person thought he would steal the kill, preventing Hao Jian from completing a pentakill and was smugly satisfied, Hao Jian smiled and slightly lifted the corner of his mouth.
"Pentakill!"
Suddenly, a string of subtitles flashed across the screen. Hao Jian put down the mouse and keyboard, showed a confident look to Liang Xiaohan, then got up and sat back in his seat.
Liang Xiaohan looked surprised; she’s played this game for so long but only managed to get a few pentakills, yet Hao Jian got one right away. She was so shocked she couldn’t speak, staring at Hao Jian. But not wanting to give Hao Jian an out, she walked over and patted his shoulder.
"I’ll get you some water!" she said, then slipped away.
Hao Jian shook his head, thinking she just couldn’t admit he was impressive, so she escaped—haha. He glanced at the screen; the arrogant person wasn’t talking anymore and had even quit the game after being humiliated.
Hao Jian found it amusing but didn’t make a big deal of it and entered another game to start playing. If you’re at an internet café, why not play some games and have fun? Entering the game, he began dominating the game world, looking very happy.
He was already immersed in the gaming world when suddenly someone placed a hand on his shoulder. He paused and heard a person behind him pat his chair several times, disrupting his focus on the game.
"Hey! Kid! What’s your problem?" the person said.
Hao Jian turned around nonchalantly, seeing a group of students in school uniforms standing behind him, looking angry that he hadn’t responded despite being called several times. When he turned around, a group was glaring fiercely at him.
"Didn’t you hear us? Hurry up and move, or else you’ll get thrashed!" the person said.
For a moment, Hao Jian was stunned; it was the first time in a long time someone dared speak to him so blatantly. He felt a bit bewildered. Looking again, it seemed these students had come straight from class to surf the net, probably looking to connect and play together on a lineup, and he happened to be sitting in that spot, hence asking him to move.
If they had been more polite, he might have considered moving, not wanting to disrupt their fun. It wasn’t necessary to fuss over small matters with students. But with such arrogance from the start, demanding him to move, he hated being threatened more than anything.
This group clearly had a habit of bullying with numbers, often bullying people, even seeing him without feeling intimidated, but instead, being arrogant and domineering. He ignored them, as if he hadn’t heard a thing, and continued playing the game.
The group, feeling ignored, instantly felt displeased. The one who spoke first was most unhappy, being shown up in front of so many people, and directly reached over to grab Hao Jian, intent on beating him. However, just as he reached out, his facial expression suddenly froze.
Because, as his hand reached out and hadn’t yet grasped Hao Jian’s hand, it was seized by Hao Jian, causing his own hand to ache.
"Pain, pain! Let go!" he cried out.
Hao Jian continued to calmly play the game, acting as if he hadn’t heard a thing, although having a hand free didn’t disrupt his gaming rhythm one bit.
"Damn!" the others saw Hao Jian dare to retaliate, immediately swinging a punch.
Yet, as the punch came through, it was instantly caught by Hao Jian, causing the person’s face to show signs of pain once again.
"Pain! Let go! Quick!" the person yelled at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian slowly released his hand and said, "Scram!"
That was the only word he uttered. Regardless, those standing around instinctively retreated several steps, none daring to step forward. Having been released, those two didn’t dare to approach again, even losing their previous arrogance.
After all, they were merely students, bullying with numbers, picking on the weak but fearing the strong. Encountering a tough opponent scares them, leaving them at a loss. After Hao Jian’s single word to scram, they ran away immediately.
A small commotion ended in dissatisfaction.
Hao Jian sneered coldly, then resumed playing his game. At this time, Liang Xiaohan returned after "buying water," seeing a crowd fleeing, and was puzzled by the events. Then seeing a slight smile on Hao Jian’s face, understood it was Hao Jian’s doing.
She didn’t ask much, handed Hao Jian a bottle of water, and said, "Come, play with me."
Hao Jian, without further words, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, then began playing games with Liang Xiaohan. If they’re playing, they should enjoy it. Time flows quietly by.
......
Meanwhile, at a location in Yun City, something else was happening.
Long San was lying in the hospital, unable to participate in some matters, naturally uninformed about anything.
However, in some room, Long Er and Long San were sitting inside, with complex expressions on their faces, deep in thought but heavily burdened.
"Brother, do you think it’s true?" Long Er asked, having heard some news, and furrowing his brows heavily.
Long Yi’s expression was complicated. He picked up a glass of water, drank it all, and said, "Let’s not discuss if it’s true, but since things have developed to this point, they already have this thought. Are we supposed to sit and wait for death?"
Long Er found Long Yi’s words reasonable, nodded, and sat aside, contemplating.
"Then... what should we do now, brother?" Long Er asked Long Yi.
Long Yi pondered for a moment, seemingly making a decision. After contemplating briefly, he stood, gazed out the window into the distance, then said, "Looks like it’s time to activate that."
"Are you referring to that?" Long Er asked.
Long Yi nodded, confirming his intent.
Upon mentioning this, Long Er’s brows furrowed.
With things developing to this point, it had always been their trump card, never once used, but now it must be activated, leaving him momentarily unable to process.
But considering the development thus far, should they sit and wait for death?
Flocks of cattle and sheep, but fierce beasts walk alone, only those that bite have food to eat.
