Chapter 21: From Pervert To Hero
Zhao Yiming scratched his cheek awkwardly as he realized—everyone was watching.
Even Luo Yanyu's lackeys were clapping like kids who just witnessed the coolest fight scene in a drama. Their eyes sparkled like stars, completely in awe.
Yep. No doubt about it now. His image as the creepy neighborhood pervert just got upgraded.
Maybe to something like... neighborhood hero. Yeah, that sounded way better.
But just as he was soaking in the unexpected praise, his eyes darted to the thugs who were finally managing to get up.
Five of them helped each other to their feet, groaning and glaring like beaten dogs, while the rest pointed at him with trembling fingers.
"You messed with the wrong person, bastard!" one of them barked, his lip bleeding.
"I'll make sure you regret this!"
He growled again and glanced toward the old man and his wife with one last threat.
"We'll come back again!"
They ran off with tails between their legs, while the crowd booed at them, someone even threw a cabbage—and it landed square on one thug's head.
