Chapter 123 - 122: The Smart Fool
Zhang Yong belonged to that category of impressive people who didn’t look it at all.
Yang Yi belonged to the kind that fell a bit short of being impressive, yet seemed quite the part.
Put simply, Yang Yi knew how to put on a facade, whereas Zhang Yong could do so too, it’s just that he had long passed the era where he needed to.
Hank was a very astute person, and his knack for reading the situation had spared him a beating.
Did Yang Yi now need a reason to hit someone? He hit people without any need for one. Hank acting tough in front of him was just asking for a beating.
But just as Yang Yi was about to swing, a moment before, Hank changed his attitude dramatically, thus he avoided a severe beating, only receiving the punishment of squatting.
Standing as a punishment is for children; squatting is for Westerners, as their Achilles tendons lack stretching, and squatting with their heels on the ground causes them pain. However, this movement could be mastered with practice, such as by those who practice yoga, who can squat down with ease.
But Hank was clearly not among them.
