Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Looking for Trouble

If I can’t even handle this little punk, how can I command respect, how can I get my men to listen to me?

“You… you punk, I’m holding back for your sake, you know that? Don’t mistake kindness for weakness!” Brother Xing bluffed.

Mr. Zheng didn’t know the background of Zhang Dadan and naturally didn’t think he could really avoid Brother Xing’s attack.

Now, hearing Brother Xing say this himself, it only strengthened his opinion that Brother Xing was indeed pulling his punches.

He called Brother Xing over, but Brother Xing wasn’t standing up for him, instead he kept pulling his punches. What does this mean? Could it be he’s waiting for a bribe?

Didn’t they usually wait until after the job is done to set up a few tables at the restaurant and then give him a fee? Why is he asking for money before starting this time?

Mr. Zheng glanced at Brother Xing resentfully, thinking to himself, “Damn bloodsuckers! Not worth a damn thing!”

Despite his curses, the money still had to be given. Mr. Zheng quickly went to the counter, pulled out a stack of cash, walked over to Brother Xing, and stuffed the money into his hand with a flattering smile, “Brother Xing… Brother Xing… Take this money and treat the brothers to some tea.”

Brother Xing was a bit taken aback seeing him give money now, but to save face in front of the brothers, he nonchalantly accepted it.

“Alright! Mr. Zheng knows how to handle things… knows how to handle things!” Brother Xing praised, patting Mr. Zheng on the shoulder.

Mr. Zheng felt a bit displeased seeing Brother Xing take the money but not starting the action, and said with a smile, “Brother Xing… uh… shouldn’t you…”

“I know… I know! Don’t worry, we’ll definitely stand up for you!” Brother Xing guaranteed.

Having said that, he turned directly and shouted to his men, “Brothers, what are you standing around for? Get moving!”

The few who came with Brother Xing were just about to charge over when they suddenly heard Mr. Zheng shout, “Wait a minute… wait a minute…”

Brother Xing and his men, taken aback, quickly stopped their actions and stared blankly at Mr. Zheng.

“Brothers! Drag them outside and beat them up!” Mr. Zheng said viciously, fearing they would wreck his shop in the process!

“Did you hear that? Drag them outside and beat them!” Brother Xing called to his men, who responded cheerfully, “Got it! Brother Xing, you just watch!”

With that, they swarmed forward, surrounding Zhang Dadan and the others, ready to drag them outside.

Seeing they were ready to gang up, Zhang Dadan feared for Liu Chengcai and the others’ safety and shouted, “Stop, all of you! Who do you think you’re messing with?!”

Although Brother Xing sensed that Zhang Dadan might know some martial arts, he had the advantage in numbers. Why should he be afraid?

“What are you waiting for? Did he scare you? Get him!” Brother Xing roared without restraint.

Just as Brother Xing’s men were about to strike, an angry shout came from outside, “Stop, all of you!”

Brother Xing, frustrated by the repeated interruptions, shouted back, “Who the hell dares interfere with me…”

But before he could finish his sentence, he was completely scared stiff. The one at the door was none other than the famous Brother Dao.

“Bro… Brother Dao, what brings you here?” Brother Xing fawned, rushing to greet him.

Brother Dao, face full of anger, cursed, “Niu Xingxing, you damn fool! How dare you curse me?”

Hearing this, Brother Xing immediately slapped himself twice, apologizing earnestly, “Brother Dao… Brother Dao, I was wrong! I was wrong! I didn’t know it was you!”

Brother Dao ignored him and walked straight to Zhang Dadan, respectfully asking, “Mr. Zhang, is that really you?”

This single “Mr. Zhang” stunned everyone present. The notorious Brother Dao was addressing Zhang Dadan as “Mr. Zhang”?

Brother Dao, the right-hand man of Zhang Dama, known for his arrogance and brashness, was being so polite to Zhang Dadan?

The already wary Brother Xing was now utterly flustered, staring at Zhang Dadan in bewilderment, not knowing what to do!

He thought today was a good business opportunity to make some money, but unexpectedly, he ran into a brick wall. What now!

If he had known this person was acquainted with Brother Dao, if he had known it would turn out like this, even with ten times the courage, he wouldn’t have come here to stir up trouble!

Liu Chengcai and the others, who had seen Zhang Dadan’s skills, knew he was fierce and could handle ten men alone, but they didn’t know he was so famous in town.

“Dadan, who is this guy? Is he that impressive in town?” someone couldn’t help but curiously tug at Zhang Dadan’s shoulder and quietly asked.

Zhang Dadan just turned his head, smiled slightly, and then said to Brother Dao, “What are you doing here? Are you following me?”

Even though Brother Dao and Zhang Dama were now very respectful towards him, Zhang Dadan was still somewhat wary of them.

After all, they weren’t known for their generosity or selflessness in helping others.

Brother Dao smiled awkwardly and said, “Just having drinks with some brothers next door, one of them went to the bathroom and saw you on the way.”

“I thought I’d come over and say hello, but didn’t expect this fool Niu Xingxing to be so bold as to offend you!”

Niu Xingxing seeing the famous Brother Dao treating Zhang Dadan with such deference, felt like he wanted to die even more.

Of all the people to offend, he had to offend someone even Brother Dao wouldn’t dare to mess with, what terrible luck!

“Brother Dao, I don’t know this… this Mr. Zhang, can you please forgive me!” Niu Xingxing pleaded bitterly.

Brother Dao frowned, glanced at him, and cursed, “Don’t tell me, apologize to Mr. Zhang!”

“Mr. Zhang… Mr. Zhang, I was wrong! Please don’t hold it against me, just think of me as a fart and let me go!” Niu Xingxing shamelessly begged.

The burly men who came with him, seeing their leader so they, also humbly pleaded, “Mr. Zhang… We were wrong… We were wrong!”

Zhang Dadan, seeing this group begging for mercy, ignored them and instead asked Brother Dao, “Are they your people?”

Brother Dao quickly waved his hands, indicating he had nothing to do with them. He didn’t want Zhang Dadan’s anger directed at him.

Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but smile, walked up to Niu Xingxing, grabbed his collar, and said, “Kid, weren’t you pretty tough just now?”

“Why are you suddenly so scared? Is it because of this Brother Dao? No need to worry, I have nothing to do with him, carry on!”

Niu Xingxing, although not well-read, wasn’t foolish enough to believe his lie and continued to look pitiable, trembling with fear!

Anyone who didn’t know might think Zhang Dadan was a bully taking advantage of his power, but Zhang Dadan just didn’t want to owe Brother Dao any favors!

“Mr. Zhang, I was wrong! Please don’t toy with me…” Niu Xingxing continued to beg as Zhang Dadan refused to let go.

Liu Chengcai, who was frightened earlier, saw Niu Xingxing’s cowardice and stepped forward, asking Zhang Dadan, “Dadan… can I punch him a few times?”

Hearing Liu Chengcai’s request, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised. Liu Chengcai, normally honest and rarely fighting, was behaving out of character today?

“Well… sure, but be careful not to get hurt by him!” Zhang Dadan released his grip on Niu Xingxing’s collar and stepped to the side.
