Chapter 610 - 606: Revenge!

Chapter 610: Chapter 606: Revenge!

The room, which was originally impeccably tidy and exuded an air of luxury and prestige, was turned into the current mess in just a few minutes. Zhang Botao had smashed almost everything throwable or breakable, including an expensive laptop.

But even after all of this, he still felt the anger in his heart burning so fiercely. Far from being slightly released by his previous outburst, it seemed to grow even more intense.

It was infuriating!

With another loud thud, Zhang Botao’s fist smashed down hard on the coffee table, making a loud thud.

The sight of Xiao Yi as a victor, being surrounded by students from the School of Mathematics like stars around the moon, soaking in countless praises and flowers, felt like a bucket of the most flammable gasoline was poured into his chest.

Flowers... applause... all of it should have been mine, it was only because of a slight mishap, a fall, that he got the opportunity to seize it from me...

Someone like him, obviously an amateur, a bumpkin who can’t even run properly, what right does he have to receive such glory!

What’s more infuriating!

It wasn’t the first time!

This bumpkin had not only stolen the glory that should have been his, Zhang Botao’s, during the last high jump competition, but he did it again!

"Bang!"

With another solid sound, Zhang Botao’s fist landed on the coffee table again, shaking the whole table violently. Fortunately, everything breakable on it had already been smashed, so nothing else fell off.

This cannot be let go so easily!

This bumpkin must have cheated. There’s no way he could beat me. Winning at high jump and now long-distance running too? Impossible. At the last moment, his leg suddenly gave out. There must be something off. There’s no way my legs would suddenly weaken like that. When has that ever happened before?

Could he have sabotaged it?

Zhang Botao remembered the sensation of suddenly collapsing on the track, the sudden weakness in his legs without any warning. He thought bitterly.

However, it was just for a moment. He shook his head, tossing out the thought. The bumpkin was at least a hundred meters away from him during the incident. Although he now wished nothing more than for Xiao Yi to drop dead, and was desperately searching for a reason, he still felt it was unlikely to be Xiao Yi’s doing. He just couldn’t believe Xiao Yi had the ability to sabotage him then.

Even if it wasn’t him who played tricks, it must have been his accomplice. Anyway, there must have been something wrong. Besides, there’s no way he could run that fast. He must have run one lap less. Yes, that must be it. He definitely shamelessly bribed the referee to run one lap less. That’s right, during the last high jump event, he must have bribed the referee too. There’s no way his jump was actually 1.82 meters!

The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Botao felt his ideas were plausible and made sense. He almost wished he could rush out and argue with that referee again!

Otherwise, there’s no way he, Zhang Botao, could have lost to such a bumpkin. He had trained so hard for so many years, shed so much sweat, and he had even won the first place in their city’s high school competition. His coach had praised him as a very talented athlete, even considering recruiting him for the provincial team, but he had given up that idea to go to college, to attend Z University!

What others didn’t know was that he had almost become a martial path cultivator, if not for an accident during Bone Tempering that caused a problem with one of his meridians. So, he had no choice but to become an athlete. Therefore, his athletic talent should definitely be better than that of most athletes!

At that moment, he completely forgot that during the high jump, everyone was watching and cheating was impossible. The long-distance running was judged by multiple referees from the School of Mathematics, so mistakes were utterly unlikely... Moreover, Z University’s sports meet was relatively transparent and systematic; the referees were never that easy to bribe!

But now, his brain was completely consumed by jealousy and rage; he simply couldn’t accept his loss. Once he thought he found a plausible reason, he began to magnify it endlessly, clouding all his thoughts and reasoning.

In his mind, soon, there was only one idea left: revenge!

This despicable wretch, using such shameful methods to snatch away the glory that should have been mine—this grudge, if not avenged, would be utterly against all reason!

"Surname Xiao, Xiao Yi... School of Mathematics!"

Zhang Botao clenched his fist tightly, gritting his teeth as he pronounced each word, as if each word was burst out with the force of a ton, his eyes filled with intense malice.

...............

This was already the second time he had been ambushed here. It seemed this place really was a good spot for a sneak attack?

Casually throwing the iron rod he had twisted into a sort of twisty mess onto the ground, Xiao Yi dusted off his hands. His eyes casually swept over the thugs sprawled all over the ground, who had been stunned into silence, forgetting even to moan, as well as the drunkard at his feet, barely alive and his fate unknown. With a carefree turn, he walked towards the direction of Azure Waterfront. Just as he was leaving, he suddenly remembered that Blondie and his gang had also ambushed him at this spot before, and couldn’t help feeling a bit of sentiment.

But then again, this really was a good spot. These thugs had been wailing and howling here for so long, and yet no one had shown up, which just goes to show how ’beautiful’ the environment was here. If Xiao Yi had been an ordinary person, even if he were beaten to a pulp at this place, screaming himself hoarse would have been useless.

It seems he might consider changing his route home in the future, or maybe, for this route, consider calling Zeng Xiaomei to ask her to deploy some police force to patrol here occasionally. Otherwise, it really felt too unsafe.

Xiao Yi touched his nose and quickened his pace.
