Chapter 775 — All Spent

"Well, well, pretty boy, you're awful cocky!" Black Bird sneered at Wei Zhao. "But I wonder if you'll still be able to be cocky in a minute. Have you ever heard the name Black Bird?"
Black Bird was the second-in-command of Songshan City's thief syndicate — naturally a renowned figure. Anyone in the trade knew Black Bird's name! Even the lone pickpockets had to pay their respects to Black Bird before they could practice in Songshan City.
"No," Wei Zhao answered honestly, shaking his head. "But Black Bird, is it? Since you're a thief and she's a thief, you're practically colleagues. Let's just call this whole thing even. Don't go looking for trouble — a thief is a thief. Don't overstep your bounds and stoop to the tricks of a rogue!"
"Fuck your mother, you bastard — what the hell do you think you are, lecturing me?" Black Bird flared up in an instant, and pointing at Wei Zhao, he said to his four henchmen, "First, beat this little brat until he's crippled — then we'll all have our fun with Yu Xiaoke together!"
"Heh heh, you got it, Brother Black Bird!" The four thugs closed in on Wei Zhao at once.
Yu Xiaoke was a little nervous. She had seen Wei Zhao earlier and called on him to save her purely out of instinct! In this deserted alley, Wei Zhao was her one and only lifeline! But now that Wei Zhao had actually come, Yu Xiaoke felt a flicker of worry again — after all, Wei Zhao was alone, and the other side had five burly men. Could Wei Zhao possibly handle them?
Wei Zhao did not look especially strong, either. If it came to dealing with one of them, Yu Xiaoke believed he could manage — because Yu Xiaoke herself could hold her own in a one-on-one tussle with one of these men, and that was exactly why she had dared follow that pickpocket into this empty alley in the first place! She had figured that even if it came to an outright fight, she could handle herself.
But who could have foreseen the situation turning so sharply, in an instant becoming five men surrounding her alone? In her desperation, Yu Xiaoke had no choice but to rely on Wei Zhao.
"Can you handle this?" Yu Xiaoke asked, a little worried.
"No. Want to swap places and take over?" Wei Zhao smiled and countered.
"Then you'd better do it. Good luck!" Seeing that Wei Zhao showed not the slightest hint of tension, Yu Xiaoke's heart immediately settled. It seemed Wei Zhao must have some confidence in himself — otherwise, at a time like this, he would surely be thinking about running.
"Kid, be smart about this. Hand your wife over for the brothers to have some fun, and you can walk away!" One of the thugs looked down on Wei Zhao's build; he figured Wei Zhao wasn't even worth one punch from him!
"Exactly. Look at that refined air of yours — you'd make a fine thief, sure, but fighting? Not a chance, right? Don't get that pretty face of yours messed up, or it'll be inconvenient for your future crimes!" another thug jeered.
"Why don't you hand your own wife over for them to play with?" Wei Zhao did not say that the thug should hand his wife over for Wei Zhao to play with, because Wei Zhao found the thought disgusting — he wouldn't touch her even if she were offered to him.RO
