Chapter 435: pick out from the middle

Zhao Xiaotian finally let go of his hold after hearing Jack’s words and said, "Be more careful next time, for Laozi’s sake." Having finished speaking, he prepared to turn around and leave.

Although Lin Bao’s status in the school wasn’t as high as Huang Xiaojun’s and Xu Renjie’s, he was still a minor tyrant. And usually, even Huang Xiaojun and Xu Renjie gave him some face to save his brother Lin Hu’s face. So, in school, he had always been the one bullying others and had never been bullied himself. Now that he had been humiliated by a nobody, how could he swallow this anger? With a furious roar, he climbed up from the ground, pulled out a switchblade, and with a "clang," the gleaming blade popped out, reflecting the sunlight and emitting a dazzling cold light. He rushed towards Zhao Xiaotian, aiming to stab the knife into Xiaotian’s back.

"Ah!" At this moment, a crowd of students gathered to watch the commotion, and seeing Lin Bao produce a knife, suddenly, a few of the faint-hearted couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Leng Xuan furrowed his brows slightly. To draw a knife in school, what was that supposed to look like? By chance, he was walking behind Zhao Xiaotian, and when Lin Bao charged past him, he subtly stuck out a foot, tripping the young man. Instantly, Lin Bao let out a loud yell, fell flat on his face with a thud, raising a cloud of dust, scraping his face, forehead, and arms, feeling as if all his bones were about to fall apart, and in so much pain that he couldn’t help but roll on the ground twice. By the time he got up, Leng Xuan, Zhao Xiaotian, and Jack had already made a quick getaway on the school’s shuttle!

"Lin Bao, that dumbass, actually dared to mess with Leng Xuan’s underling right in front of him? Is he looking to die?" The speaker was Xu Renjie’s crony, Niu Peng, Pudgy, with narrowed eyes, looking utterly gleeful. In his view, his own Boss had been humiliated by Leng Xuan to the point of losing face, so having Leng Xuan dampen someone else’s arrogance somehow made the Boss seem less incompetent because Leng Xuan was just too freakishly strong.

Shorty Zhou Qiang also sneered contemptuously, saying, "This kid relies on his brother Lin Hu’s reputation to cloak himself in borrowed authority at school. Apart from bullying a few honest kids, he’s good for nothing else. Hahaha, he’s utterly useless."

Standing with his two underlings, Xu Renjie, having heard Zhou Qiang’s words, suddenly had an idea and whispered into Zhou Qiang’s ear, "Go tell Lin Bao that the guy who beat him up is called Zhao Xiaotian, currently the second toughest guy in our Class 3-2, not someone he can afford to mess with. Advise him not to look for trouble with Xiaotian in the future."

Zhou Qiang was startled, a look of confusion on his face, but before he could speak, Xu Renjie impatiently said, "Quick, go," prompting Zhou Qiang to utter an "Oh," and, although he didn’t understand Xu Renjie’s intention, he still agreed, saying, "Alright, Boss, I’ll go tell the kid."

"Fuck, I won’t let you guys off," Lin Bao glared at the back of the shuttle and roared.

Just then, Zhou Qiang walked over, patted Lin Bao on the shoulder, and laughed, "Leopard, what happened here?"

"Oh, is that you, Qiangzi?" Seeing Zhou Qiang, Lin Bao managed to squeeze out a strained smile, his facial muscles twitching slightly from pain, and quickly said, "Nothing, nothing, I just accidentally took a spill!" He joked—Lin Bao, after all, was a minor tyrant in the school, and if a small follower of Xu Renjie found out he was bullied by a nobody, wouldn’t they laugh their teeth off?
