Chapter 1306 — Everyone Got Scared
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Don't call me Brother Zhao... call me Brother Fa..." Zhao Fafa said, his voice trembling, tears of pain spilling from his eyes.
"All right... Brother Fa, what's wrong with you..." Sun Xiaoxing thought to himself, how could he still be hung up on what to call him at a time like this? I was only anxious, and out of habit I called him Brother Zhao.
"Beat... beat him..." Zhao Fafa had never dreamed that Wei Zhao would strike first. Pointing at Wei Zhao, he slurred out the command.
"Beat him!" Sun Xiaoxing caught the words clearly, sprang to his feet, and barked the order at his men.
Sun Xiaoxing's underlings had long been primed and ready to move; it was just that Wei Zhao's sudden wounding of Zhao Fafa left them somewhat at a loss.
Still, Sun Xiaoxing himself would not lift a finger - he was no good at fighting. He had only ever gone into this business to gather underlings by riding on Zhao Fafa's money offensive, which bought him a handful of followers.
Swish, swish, swish - several crab legs went flying, burying themselves in the faces of the underlings who were stepping forward to punish Wei Zhao, punching clean through their skin.
The face is one of the most nerve-dense regions of the body; when Wei Zhao's crab legs struck home, they ran those men through with agony, and they bellowed like the dying.
"Wow, hubby Wei, you're amazing!" Feng Xiaoxiao shrieked, thrilled. "Though you really ought to aim for their eyeballs!"
"Huh?" The men, writhing in torment, had meant to rip the crab legs out and then beat Wei Zhao to a pulp - but Feng Xiaoxiao's words froze them on the spot, and cold sweat broke out over them instantly.
Aim for the eyeballs? That would blind them outright! Before, pain had addled their brains and they had thought of nothing; but now it came back to them in a rush - Wei Zhao's aim was lethally good. The crab shell earlier had flown straight into Zhao Fafa's mouth, and these crab legs, tossed out as casually as anything, had never once missed. Every single leg hit its mark.
So the underlings calmed down in an instant. These men thought nothing of brawling and bullying the weak in their daily lives - but that did not mean they were not afraid of getting hurt, and this was no ordinary injury. This meant losing an eye.
A crab leg driven into an eye would certainly blind it, no ifs, ands, or buts about it - not a shred of luck to be had.
"Good point. Then let's aim for the eyeballs." So saying, Wei Zhao picked up a few more crab legs from the table.
"Run!" The man in the lead faltered at once and spun to flee. He was the closest one to Wei Zhao; if Wei Zhao hurled a crab leg, the first one would almost certainly go sailing into his eyeball.
With the first deserter, the rest lost heart in a heartbeat. Those little thugs whose faces had been pierced by crab legs ran faster than one another, and in the blink of an eye they had vanished beyond the door of the private room, gone without a trace...
True, they had taken Zhao Fafa's money - but taking money to eat and drink and carouse, to frighten the odd weakling now and then, was one thing. Being sent to their deaths or stabbed up was quite another. Nobody was a fool; if they didn't run now, when on earth would they?
And so, in a single instant, only Zhao Fafa, Sun Xiaoxing, and Wu Liuqi were left in the private room.
Sun Xiaoxing's face was a mask of ugliness. He had never imagined that these sworn brothers of his would prove so faithless - in the blink of an eye they had all cleared out. How was he supposed to face Zhao Fafa now?
By now the crab shell had been pried from Zhao Fafa's face. He sat there with blood covering every feature of it, though nothing that threatened his life.
