Chapter 453: Chapter 483: Stop Right Now!

This slap left a bright red handprint on the plump young man’s face, and just as Fang Yi had expected, the plump young man sprang to his feet with a low growl.

The yoga room had been filled with soft music to set the mood, but Fang Yi’s slap, followed by the plump young man’s growl, completely shattered the tranquility there. In fact, people had already taken notice of the commotion.

He Dawei stood frozen. He had taken a liking to Fang Yi, which is why he had tried to persuade Fang Yi with a few words, but he hadn’t expected that Fang Yi would not heed his advice and had directly rewarded the plump young man with a slap on his face. Such temperament was simply too impulsive.

The men seated nearby were also shocked beyond belief, stunned by Fang Yi’s slap. In fact, they had been considering taking Fang Yi’s spot for themselves since it was so close to Song Hongye—a perfect position to admire her beauty.

However, the plump young man’s father was none other than Liu Yuanguang, the head of Moon City’s City Guard Department. Although they were all rich, given the plump young man’s background, it wouldn’t be proper for them to vie for the spot, so they had an unspoken agreement to let him have it.

At the same time, they were feeling a bit of schadenfreude. Thankfully, it wasn’t themselves sitting there, or they would have been the ones getting slapped.

Complex and surprised gazes fell upon Fang Yi. Aside from the men, the women practicing yoga were also taken aback. In addition to them, one other person looked over with a curious gaze.

Song Hongye, the woman known as the Red Peacock, watched Fang Yi with intrigued eyes, her enticing crimson lips curled into a playful smile. She was very curious about what this man would do next.

After all, the plump young man was the son of the City Guard Department head, a position within the system comparable to a leadership role, only slightly inferior to that of a city mayor.

Regardless of power or status, both were far above that of this man, and Song Hongye really wanted to see how this man named Fang Yi would respond.

Facing the plump young man’s growl, Fang Yi maintained a tranquil smile and said calmly, "You said earlier that by taking my seat, you were showing me respect. Now, I can clearly tell you, me hitting you—also shows I respect you!"

Swish!

The plump young man’s face suddenly twisted in ugliness, his chubby cheeks twitching uncontrollably, which indicated just how furious he was.

"Good! I, Liu Bo, have seen the arrogant, but I’ve never seen anyone as brazen as you. Since that’s the case, you can spend some time in the station," Liu Bo’s plump face twisted into a cruel, cold smile.

Fang Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Abusing your authority, huh? You have the nerve to say that in front of all these people?"

Liu Bo sneered, "Either way, you’ve messed with me, you’re done for!"

Fang Yi replied, "Many people have said the same to you, but their endings usually aren’t so great. Since that’s the case, let’s wait and see who has greater influence—yours or mine."

With that statement, Fang Yi had openly challenged Liu Bo to a contest of backing and influence to see who was more powerful.

Fang Yi’s words also gave Liu Bo an opportunity to freely make a phone call to summon others, just to see who could call in the more powerful reinforcement.

Liu Bo sneered, took out his phone, and immediately made a call. After hanging up, Liu Bo coldly stared at Fang Yi as if he were looking at an ant, the disdain and loathing in his eyes growing increasingly intense.

Of course, Fang Yi wasn’t about to let Liu Bo make all the calls; since this was a clash of power, it was time to see whose connections were stronger. Thus, Fang Yi also made a phone call.

...

Ten minutes later, someone arrived, or rather, they responded swiftly to an emergency call—a middle-aged man accompanied by several guards arrived at the scene.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Liu Bo immediately said, "Uncle Li, quickly arrest this guy!" He pointed at Fang Yi, almost poking Fang Yi’s nose.

By this time, the crowd inside the yoga room had gradually dispersed, but most of them were women. The men who stayed wanted to witness the excitement and couldn’t very well be asked to leave, so the yoga room was still quite bustling.

Among them was He Dawei, who was eager to see what kind of skill Fang Yi possessed to dare to oppose the son of the director of the City Guard Department.

The middle-aged man, named Li Yue, was the captain of the Security Management Team. He had a good relationship with Liu Bo’s father, Liu Yuanguang, because in the system, it was common for factions to form, and Li Yue’s alignment with Liu Yuanguang indicated his stance.

Since Liu Bo was Liu Yuanguang’s son, Li Yue naturally had to make an effort, and make it well, to solidify his relationship with Liu Yuanguang.

So, when Liu Bo pointed at Fang Yi’s nose, Li Yue’s eyes sharpened fiercely as he stared down Fang Yi. As a guard, his aura, when released, was extremely imposing.

Ordinary citizens would have been frightened at the sight and shown fear, but Fang Yi, with one hand casually in his pocket, appeared unruffled. He didn’t show any sign of panic; instead, he even had a hint of a smile.

Such composure and such nonchalance caused Li Yue’s brow to furrow.

Li Yue’s gaze was piercing as he stared icily at Fang Yi and finally said with chilling coldness, "You’ve assaulted someone."

Fang Yi declared righteously, "He took my seat."

Li Yue snorted derisively and mocked, "This is a society governed by law, not ancient times, where you hit someone just because they took your seat. What then, if a thief enters your home, you would have to kill them?"

"You’re talking too much..." Fang Yi not only admitted to it but emphatically agreed, "If that thief stole my money, well, I might actually kill someone."

Li Yue scoffed, "If you dare to kill, you’ll go to jail."

Fang Yi suddenly spread his hands innocently, "But I haven’t killed anyone."

When it came to banter, Fang Yi was never afraid of anyone, and Li Yue’s expression grew uglier, finding himself at a loss for words, his authority ineffective here.

However, Li Yue did not intend to waste more words; if this wasn’t working, there was another method—arrest!

"Regardless, you assaulted someone today, and I, Li Yue, as the captain of the Security Management Team, must ask you to come with me to the Guard Department," Li Yue said coldly, then gestured with a wave of his hand.

The guards who had come with Li Yue immediately fixed their eyes on Fang Yi.

In the crowd, He Dawei watched Fang Yi in surprise, secretly thinking, is this all the skill this young man has?

Song Hongye was thinking along similar lines, her eyebrows imperceptibly raising a fraction. She had originally thought Fang Yi would have some clever way to win, or to surprise everyone.

But the scene from the bar in Tianjing that she had witnessed might not be seen again here.

Just as Song Hongye began to harbor this thought, a man suddenly walked into the yoga room. Seeing Fang Yi, the man’s heart steadied, and then, noticing the tense standoff, he quickly understood what was going on and blurted out, "Stop! Stop right now!"

(The newcomer—who could it be? Bet you didn’t see that coming.)
