Chapter 99: Chapter 81: Scared You to Crawl Like a Dog

Zhou Hong touched the wall, lifted his head, only to realize that the other party was already standing on the shore, looking down at him from above.

The cheering of the students around him still continued; their gaze toward Li Chen completely changed. He was incredibly cool; the entire match was a feast for the eyes with all sorts of swimming styles displayed—proper butterfly, backstroke, freestyle, and funnily enough, the dog paddle and, surprisingly, the flat floating swimming method at the end.

No matter how you looked at it, Li Chen had conquered the students present with his skills!

"Who is this guy? I want to have his babies!" a girl said, stars in her eyes.

Seeing that Li Chen had won, Xiaoxiao was so happy she jumped up. Her brother-in-law was just too awesome; it felt like nothing could stump him.

"Get up here," Li Chen said indifferently.

Zhou Hong could only helplessly climb up. He was extremely embarrassed at this moment; he had never thought he would lose before—damn it, it was all because he misjudged.

"Don’t you plan to fulfill your promise?" Li Chen asked.

Zhou Hong felt resentful inside, but his mouth said, "You won, so you won, what more do you want?"

Li Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, "So, you’re planning to renege on your word?"

"What do you mean renege?" Zhou Hong smirked coldly. What a joke. To crawl like a dog in front of so many people—how could he continue to mix in the swimming team after that? And if he really did it, someone might even upload the incident online, and then he’d truly become infamous throughout the school.

Besides, only the two of them knew about their wager; no one else was aware of it. Therefore, erasing this bet wouldn’t matter much either way.

Moreover, if it came to a fight, wasn’t he not alone here?

If a fight broke out, it wasn’t certain that they would be able to beat him with so many on his side.

Li Chen, expressionless, said, "Do you know? I hate dimwits like you the most, who act all high and mighty and provoke first, but once they lose, they tuck their heads into their crotches. If you don’t fulfill your promise today, I’ll help you!"

Right at that moment, other students also saw that there seemed to be a conflict between Li Chen and Zhou Hong. Some members from the swimming team started to approach.

"What’s going on?"

"Nothing, this guy said he wants to teach me a lesson," Zhou Hong pointed at Li Chen and said.

"Hey, a match is a match, winning is enough. Do you also want to hit someone?" These team members frowned immediately. There were five or six of them together, and if it came to blows, they would absolutely beat Li Chen till he was searching for his teeth on the ground.

Li Chen couldn’t be bothered with those people and only said to Zhou Hong, "Think carefully before you do something, or you’ll bear the consequences. I’m asking you one more time, do you honor your bet?"

"You’re going too far," Zhou Hong immediately became angry from embarrassment. The few members frowned and asked, "What bet?"

"He came up here to provoke, then boasted that if he won, Li Chen would have to bark like a dog. If Li Chen won, he’d crawl like a dog. Now that Li Chen has won, he’s chickening out," Xiaoxiao walked over, her face full of scorn.

This immediately made Zhou Hong’s face turn awkward to the extreme, but he then said nonchalantly, "So what, acting like a dog is too much anyway, and even if I had won, I wouldn’t have made him bark like a dog."

"That was just a hypothetical. Before, you were being extremely aggressive," Xiaoxiao was relentless. "God knows what you would have done if you’d won. You should bear the consequences for your choices."

The people beside also found the situation a bit tricky, but anyway, they definitely had to back Zhou Hong since he was one of their own.

"Buddy, let’s just let this go. I’ll get Zhou Hong to apologize to you, how about that?" the people aside chimed in.

"I won’t apologize, why should I apologize?" Zhou Hong instead became furiously arrogant, "What can he do to me? Kill me?"

"You’re nothing but shameless, lowly, and dimwitted," Lin Xiaoxiao cursed angrily, but suddenly someone grabbed her hand.

"Enough, I’ll deal with this," Li Chen pulled Lin Xiaoxiao behind him, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Not keeping a promise? No problem."

Seeing Li Chen’s smile, Zhou Hong suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You know? I’ve always quite liked violence; because it’s simple and crude, yet effective immediately," Li Chen said, as he squatted down and grabbed the iron ladder with his right hand. To the astounded gazes of those around, he forcibly bent the iron ladder, breaking it, and a sharp iron bar was then held in his hand.

"What, what are you going to do?" Zhou Hong was startled, realizing that the other party possessed such brute force, he began to feel afraid.

"Nothing much," Li Chen suddenly snapped the iron bar into two pieces with a crack, and the jagged edge of the broken metal was exceptionally glaring.

The swimmers around who originally intended to help Zhou Hong started to feel frightened as well. Li Chen looked indifferently at Zhou Hong, "Now you have two choices, one: crawl on the ground like a dog as you challenged me earlier; two, I break your arms and legs and make you crawl on the ground like a dog. Pick one."

This man had provoked him over and over again. Li Chen hadn’t really planned on forcing him to crawl like a dog if he had given a sincere apology, but since Zhou Hong remained arrogant even when he was in the wrong, he needed to be taught a lesson.

Zhou Hong swallowed hard, looking into Li Chen’s cold eyes, his heart racing uncontrollably, as if the next second, if he didn’t obey, his limbs would be broken.

"Can’t we just let bygones be bygones?" Zhou Hong started to back down.

"It could have been possible before, but not now," Li Chen said flatly, "I’m giving you five seconds to decide, if you don’t, I’ll make the decision for you."

"Five."

Listening to Li Chen’s countdown, Zhou Hong started to panic.

"Four."

What to do? He really couldn’t bring himself to crawl like a dog in front of everyone.

"Three."

While Zhou Hong was still hesitating, Li Chen had already counted down to one. Instantly, he flung the iron rod, and, to the stupefied onlookers, it shot straight towards the side wall and penetrated right through it!

With a "thump," Zhou Hong tumbled to the ground, his face full of humiliation. Under the watchful eyes of Li Chen and everyone else, he began to crawl on all fours.

"Haha!"

All of a sudden, the laughter burst from the students who came to swim, turning Zhou Hong’s face red and white by turns. With his face utterly lost, how could he face anyone in the future?

After crawling for just a little while, Zhou Hong quickly got up and ran out of the swimming hall.

"Zhou Hong!" Several people also hurriedly followed him out.

"Brother-in-law, you really got him, scaring him into crawling like a dog on his own," Lin Xiaoxiao said with twinkling eyes.

"Of course," Li Chen smiled slightly, "Even your sister threw herself into my arms, what’s this in comparison?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was left speechless, this jerk.
