Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Pleading

"Apologize to her? Does she deserve such luck? Asking me to apologize, she might lose years from her life." The man adjusted his suit jacket repeatedly, "I’m telling you, don’t try to play the hero saving the damsel in distress here. I’m not a stepping stone you can just trample on. So shut your mouth, or I’ll make sure you won’t be able to walk away from this." The man pointed a finger at Xu Ke’s nose, speaking coldly.

"Come on, I’m not afraid of you, you wimp." Stripping off the sweet demeanor of a flight attendant, the woman had completely let go of her image, unbuttoning her blazer, rolling up her sleeves to the elbows, her hands on her hips, showing her fierce nature.

"If you can get off this plane unscathed today, you can call me grandma while kneeling on the ground." The woman shouted loudly without any hesitation, infuriating the man to the point of looking like a pufferfish, his whole body seeming ready to float away.

"Say a few less words." Xu Ke turned his head and gave the woman a warning look, somewhat dissatisfied with her wanton provocation.

"Why should I say less? I’m not the one at fault here. Don’t think just because you spoke for me, I have to be grateful and treat your words like a decree. I’m telling you, that’s impossible. I can seek justice for myself even without you." The woman’s eyes were like burning torches, blazing fiercely and glaringly bright.

"I thought it was a hero saving a damsel in distress, but turns out it’s just delusion. Did you hear that, kid? This is a matter between me and her, none of your business, go back to your seat." The man sneered sarcastically at Xu Ke.

"OK, let’s say I’m meddling, but one thing I can’t ignore is the noise level. I need rest." Xu Ke said, casting a deep glance at the woman behind him, then returned to his seat and covered himself with the small blanket he had just taken off, looking like he was about to fall into a dream.

The woman and the man were dumbfounded for a moment by Xu Ke’s actions. They did not expect Xu Ke to cooperate so easily, leaving them unsure how to react for a moment. Eventually, the man was the first to respond.

"I’ll give you one more chance. Just kneel on the ground and clean my shoes, and I’ll pretend none of this ever happened. How about it?" The man raised his eyebrows, looking at the woman smugly.

"In your dreams! I’d rather kiss a toad than clean your shoes." The woman said defiantly.

The disdain in the woman’s words made everyone in the cabin who heard burst out laughing, except for Xu Ke, who was pretending to doze.

The laughter from those around them made the man’s face turn livid, his gaze towards the woman even taking on a murderous glint.

"Stop looking at me like that, what are you going to do? I’m telling you, I know Taekwondo." The woman said, her voice somewhat lacking confidence as she spoke while quietly moving her footsteps backward, heading in the direction of Xu Ke who pretended to be asleep.

"Slap!" A crisp slap echoed in the cabin, completely overshadowing the people’s laughter.

The man’s movement was quick, almost before anyone could react, his slap landed on the woman’s face, stunning everyone on the spot. But this was just the beginning. The next second, the woman felt a sharp pain on her scalp. It turned out the man had not only slapped her but had also grabbed her hair, the force almost tearing her scalp off.

"This is the result of you refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit, got guts to say what you just said again?" The man looked at the woman with a slightly maniacal expression, "I’m worse than a toad? And what the hell are you? You’re nothing, just a piece of dog shit. Who gave you the courage to feel superior in front of me?"

The woman’s hair was grasped in the man’s hand, akin to having his lifeline held by someone else. The severe pain distorted her face. She reached out her freshly manicured nails, enduring the pain to grab the man’s wrist, her nails digging into his skin as if they could embed into it.

For a moment, both of their expressions twisted, the scene making onlookers forget their intent to intervene, one by one watching the face-off between the two.

"You are nothing but a toad." Even at this moment, the woman still refused to concede, her words striking at the most vulnerable parts like nails.

"Fine, let’s see how long you can keep up the bravado." The man gritted his teeth, raising one arm intending to slap the woman again, but this time the wound on his wrist was deeper than any before, causing his hand to hesitate before falling on her face, and the grip on her hair loosened slightly, giving the woman a moment to break free.

The woman scanned around swiftly with the fastest speed of her life, then focused on Xu Ke. She moved to Xu Ke’s side with record speed, finding him there with eyes closed, earphones in, looking like he had fallen into deep sleep.

"Help me, please wake up, save me, he’s going to kill me." The woman knelt in front of Xu Ke, shaking his arm persistently, speaking with a voice filled with terror.

It was her first real confrontation with the difference in strength between men and women. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free from his grasp, the sense of helplessness striking fear into her, instinctively seeking someone who could provide her with a sense of security.

"What does this have to do with me? Miss, you have already rejected my first offer of help. I have no obligation to help you a second time." Xu Ke opened his eyes, looking at the woman in front of him with some amusement, curling his lips and speaking indifferently.

"I was wrong earlier, I apologize to you, but you really have to help me with this." The woman’s gaze was pleading, like a weak and innocent rabbit, capable of stirring a man’s protective instincts, though this didn’t work on Xu Ke.

"Sorry, some opportunities once missed are gone forever. I want to sleep now, solve your own issues. Please don’t disturb me." Xu Ke pushed her hand off his arm and then closed his eyes again in front of her.

"Hmph, trying to ask for help, but he’s not going to care about you." The man, rubbing his wrist where two chunks of flesh had been scraped off by the woman, approached her, pulling her away from Xu Ke by her hair.
