Chapter 498
They twisted and turned through the alley, getting deeper and deeper into a secluded area. Eventually, they reached a dead-end alley so dark that not even sunlight could penetrate. Only then did they come to a complete stop.
“We’re here.”
The five men turned around and looked at Jiang Yexun and Su Xiaoxiao, who had been following them the whole time. The malice in their eyes was no longer concealed.
“Is this enough? Do you think you’re capable now?” Su Xiaoxiao asked, looking at their smug expressions with some shock.
The five men’s smugness faltered for a moment. Fear quickly surged in their hearts, making them regret provoking this couple. At the very least, in a situation where they weren’t sure they would win, it would be better to retreat rather than stir up trouble.
But instead of backing down, they glared fiercely at Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun, unwilling to show weakness, lest they completely lose face.
Su Xiaoxiao sneered derisively, then turned and looked towards the alley entrance.
“What are you still stalling for?” she yelled out to the entrance.
The five men stopped hesitating. One by one, they came out with weapons in hand, all of them visibly ready for a fight.
“You guys sure have guts. You’ve already beaten up our men, and now you think you can take us on?” The leader of the group swung his coal tongs and arrogantly shouted.
“So, you were originally supposed to have thirty-four people, but now, with the five idiots behind me, you’re down to just twenty-one. Thirteen smart ones ran off, huh?” Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze swept over them, smiling mischievously.
“Pah! Those thirteen are just cowards!”
The leader was clearly upset that not all of their men had shown up. He didn’t even waste time talking anymore. Raising the coal tongs in his hand, he and the rest of his group charged towards Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun.
To be honest, even though there were quite a few of them, the weapons they carried were chaotic and mismatched, making the scene lack any kind of intimidating aura and instead, it appeared almost comical.
Jiang Yexun kept Su Xiaoxiao firmly behind him, blocking the attacks of the sixteen men with ease.
Seeing that none of them could get past him, the group immediately turned to the five men standing behind Su Xiaoxiao, who were still frozen in place. “What are you standing there for? Go beat up this woman who’s the cause of us losing our jobs!”
The five men, startled by the yelling, immediately snapped out of their daze. Just as they were about to step forward, they noticed Su Xiaoxiao turn around and look at them.
Though her face was expressionless, the look in her eyes was enough to make them recoil in fear. They stepped back repeatedly, stopping only when they bumped into the wall.
The five men were stunned. They never expected that the five would be too scared to even attack a “little girl.”
“Useless!” the leader shouted in anger, struggling to get up.
But once again, Jiang Yexun kicked him hard, sending him flying.
As the five men saw that their comrades were almost incapable of getting up, one of them yelled, “You say we don’t have any ability? Well, show us if you can do better!”
Already furious from being knocked down, the man’s blood boiled at the mocking tone of his own team. He was livid, his head buzzing in anger. Two of them, feeling even more humiliated, refused to get up. Instead, they decided to crawl on the ground, trying to sneak up and attack Su Xiaoxiao from below.
However, before they could even poke half their heads out, a foot came crashing down on their heads, kicking them back down.
