Chapter 35: Chapter 0035: Big Brother Ma Gangjian

"I’m waiting for my brother. Once he enters the school, you better keep a close eye on him!"

Ma Gangqiang took the cigarette, lit it up, and then exhaled the smoke as he spoke.

The chubby security guard laughed and said, "Don’t worry, young master Ma. Once your older brother arrives, I’ll definitely keep watch. Even if something happens, I’ll say I didn’t see your brother come in. I’ll go turn off the surveillance now so nothing can go wrong."

"Good, you’re on the ball."

Ma Gangqiang laughed proudly. The guard was someone who admired martial arts, and Ma Gangqiang had once casually taught him a few moves. Now the guard looked up to him as the most respected!

At noon, when classes ended, Tang Ming went straight to the cafeteria to eat. There was money on his meal card, although he couldn’t spend it in the restaurant.

But he could definitely get full in the cafeteria, and the food tasted not bad either - it just wasn’t as high-end as the restaurant’s.

Once he had worked for a full month and gotten his salary, he could go to the restaurant, and he’d have to treat himself to a hearty meal!

One of Ma Gangqiang’s underlings entered the cafeteria and looked around. When he saw Tang Ming eating, he nearly jumped in surprise.

The stack of food on the guy’s plate looked like it was about to topple over; it was terrifying to behold. He seriously doubted whether all that could fit in his stomach.

"Eat all you want now, you’re going to throw it all up later."

After cursing under his breath, the underling hurried off to report to Ma Gangqiang.

In the cafeteria, Zhou Dafu came over with a tray full of dishes like braised pork. After laying it down in front of Tang Ming, he complained, "Bro Tang, you’re really something. Every time I go for seconds, the cafeteria auntie’s eyes turn green."

"What? Isn’t this a buffet? Aren’t we allowed to eat as much as we want as long as we don’t waste it?"

Tang Ming said in dissatisfaction, "These greedy merchants only know how to make money off of students. The prices here are already as high as those fancy restaurants outside. What I’m eating isn’t much at all. So stingy."

"That’s true, but... Bro Tang, the Ma Family is a martial arts family. Ma Gangqiang didn’t show up for class again this morning, and I’m afraid he’ll call for someone from his family to deal with you. You should hurry back to the classroom after you’re done eating."

Zhou Dafu said worriedly.

"No way, I have to eat until class starts, otherwise it’s a big loss! If they dare to disturb me while I’m eating, I’ll beat them to death."

Tang Ming hated nothing more than being disturbed during meals. Whoever dared to harass him at this time was going to make him very angry.

Zhou Dafu shivered inwardly. In Songlan City, Tang Ming might be the only one who dared to disregard the Ma Family like this.

Ma Gangqiang, who was waiting at the school gate, finished a cigarette and then heard the report from his underling that Tang Ming was eating in the cafeteria.

"Damn it, he’s going to throw up as much as he eats later on!"

Ma Gangqiang tossed the cigarette butt and cursed fiercely.

Just then, a black Maserati sports car pulled up at the school entrance. The door opened and out stepped Ma Gangjian, clad in casual wear, his long hair hanging down just below his ears, slightly wavy and wet at the tips, looking very stylish and handsome.

"Bro."

Ma Gangqiang hurriedly opened the school gate and called out.

Ma Gangjian walked over, glanced at his brother, and then shouted at the security guard inside the booth:

"Take good care of my car, don’t let it get scratched."

"Got it, got it."

The portly security guard nodded and laughed eagerly.

The Ma Family was used to strutting around both Tianjiao High School and Songlan City. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to offend them and always tried to curry favor with smiles.

"Take me to that guy."

Ma Gangjian said:

"I need to get back to cultivation after handling this. Dad is coming home tonight."

"Oh, dad is coming back."

Ma Gangqiang felt a bit afraid inside, his father was extremely harsh on him and his brothers, instilling deep fear.

"What’s there to be afraid of? Just handle it quickly, and it’ll be all right,"

Ma Gangjian said carelessly, in his view, dealing with a Two-star Martial Artist wouldn’t take much time. Just get it done and leave quickly.

"Brother, that guy is eating in the cafeteria, let’s go straight there."

Ma Gangqiang led the way ahead, saying.

In the cafeteria, Tang Ming let out a big burp, then picked up a bottle of mineral water for a swig. After wiping his mouth, he said, "Class is starting soon, and I’m finally full."

Zhou Dafu was almost speechless; there’s always someone better. He considered himself quite the eater, but next to Tang Ming, it was like looking in the mirror.

"Fatty, let’s go back to the classroom and look at comics!"

Tang Ming rose and said, with Zhou Dafu hurrying to keep up.

Now in the school, Tang Ming was his only friend, and he had even acknowledged him as the boss. Naturally, he should always follow, and of course, there was another reason: with Tang Ming offending so many people, Zhou Dafu feared that if he were alone, he’d be dealt with.

Just as they stepped out of the cafeteria door and onto the stairs, Zhou Dafu, from his elevated position, saw Ma Gangqiang and the group he had brought with him, one of them around twenty and not looking like a student from Tianjiao High School.

Could it be a helper from the Ma Family that Ma Gangqiang had called in?

Zhou Dafu quickly pulled Tang Ming, pointing at the approaching Ma Gangqiang and his group, "Ming brother, it’s Ma Gangqiang and his gang."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming’s eyes turned towards them, mostly focusing on Ma Gangjian.

As Ma Gangqiang and the others approached and the two groups were just over ten meters apart, Ma Gangqiang immediately spotted Tang Ming standing at the cafeteria entrance. He quickly pointed and said:

"Brother, that kid is Tang Ming."

Ma Gangjian’s gaze sharpened as he sized up Tang Ming, an ordinary-looking, frail student with unremarkable clothes, no significant aura about him, and quite young.

Such a person would be easy to take care of, especially since he was only a Two-star Martial Artist. He wasn’t concerned at all.

"A small fry like this, it feels almost dishonorable for me to deal with him."

Ma Gangjian said with a contemptuous laugh.

"Brother, make sure to give that kid a good beating later, let him know how fierce our Songlan Ma Family is."

Ma Gangqiang said, fanning the flames.

"Don’t worry, I’ll make him regret crossing our Ma Family."

Ma Gangjian nodded and walked toward Tang Ming.

Watching Ma Gangjian approach Tang Ming alone, a lackey asked, "Gangqiang, should we follow over there?"

"No need. My brother alone can handle that kid. We’ll just wait for him to be beaten down then we can go and kick him when he’s down,"

Ma Gangqiang said with a cold laugh, thinking to himself: This time, Tang Ming, I’ll make your life worse than death.

"Are you Tang Ming?"

Ma Gangjian walked up the stairs and looked at Tang Ming as he asked.

Zhou Youfu was so scared that he hid behind Tang Ming, his body trembling. Others might not know, but as a descendant of the Zhou Family, another Martial Arts Family, he was well aware of the fierceness of Martial Artists.

"Are you Ma Gangqiang’s brother?"

Tang Ming looked at the newcomer who resembled Ma Gangqiang, asking.

"That’s right. I heard you defeated my brother and look down on our Ma Family, so I came today to meet you."

Although Ma Gangjian was smiling as he spoke, there was no hint of mirth in his eyes. The lack of fear in Tang Ming’s expression made him feel a surge of anger from within.
