Those were all young men, holding iron bars in their hands and wearing malicious smiles on their faces. They were clearly some kind of thugs.
Seeing them approach, the Chinese team's faces stiffened slightly.
They instinctively wanted to move aside.
But to their surprise, if they moved left, those men moved left; if they moved right, those men moved right, completely blocking their way.
Soon, those men surrounded the Chinese team, leaving no space to escape.
The members of the Chinese team realized these guys were up to no good and couldn't help but ask Ling Tengyun, "Brother Tengyun, what's going on? What do they want?"
Ling Tengyun had no idea either.
His expression was not good, and he then asked the thugs in English, "What do you want?"
The leader of the thugs said unhappily, "Don't speak English to me, I don't understand that stuff!"
Since he was speaking Japanese, Ling Tengyun and the others were somewhat confused.
At this moment, one of the thugs stepped forward and said, "I know a little English, I'll tell you. We have no money. Give us some money, or we'll kill you!"
This thug's English level wasn't even half-baked, so his translation was rather disjointed.
But Ling Tengyun still managed to understand his meaning, and his face became even more rigid.
The teammates of the Chinese team also became nervous, saying with grimaces, "Brother Tengyun, these guys want to rob us!"
"Oh my god, what should we do now?"
Ling Tengyun didn't know how to handle such a situation, but he could only brace himself and say, "We are Chinese. It's not appropriate for you to demand our money, is it?"
The thug said, "What, China has a problem?"
"I just want money. It doesn't matter what country you're from!"
Ling Tengyun swallowed and said, "How can you do this? We are not only Chinese, but we are also here to participate in the competition."
"If you dare to rob us, we'll just make a phone call, and you'll be the ones in trouble!"
The thug became displeased upon hearing Ling Tengyun's words.
He said, "You... you're brave! I'm telling you, I want money today. If you don't have it, you die!"
Ling Tengyun was intimidated by the thug's tone.
But being robbed in a foreign land was something that made him very uncomfortable, no matter how you looked at it.
Therefore, he looked at the thug and said, "I will not give you money. You'd better leave quickly today, or I'll make the call right now!"
Seeing Ling Tengyun's defiance, the thug leader immediately relayed his message to the leader.
And after hearing it, the thug leader roared, "Baka!"
Then he slapped Ling Tengyun across the face!
Ling Tengyun was stunned by the slap.
He had never suffered such a loss in his life, let alone from a Japanese person!
To speak of such a thing would be a great humiliation!
A burning rage immediately ignited in his heart.
He couldn't bear such an insult and roared, "You bastard! You Japanese devils dare to hit me? I'll fight you!"
With that, he raised his hands and lunged at the thugs.
But he had never practiced any martial arts, nor had he ever fought anyone. How could he be a match for these thugs?
He was quickly kicked to the ground, and then the other thugs rushed forward and began stomping on him.
All of Ling Tengyun's rage was stomped out at that moment.
He covered his head and shouted, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I know I was wrong, please spare me!"
But these thugs showed no mercy, stomping on him fifty to sixty times before finally stopping.
Ling Tengyun curled up on the ground, covered in bruises, looking badly injured.
After teaching him a lesson, the thugs turned their attention to the rest of the Chinese team and said, "You, do you also want some?"
The faces of the Chinese team members turned pale.
They never imagined they would encounter such a situation.
How unlucky could they be?
"It's over, it's over..." one team member stammered.
"I say, why don't we just give them the money? Otherwise, we'll get beaten too!"
In such a tense situation, if even one person showed weakness, the others would follow suit.
So, everyone took out their pockets, intending to hand over their money.
"Wait."
At this moment, Wu Tian raised his hand to stop them. "Giving them money is useless. In the end, they will still resort to violence."
"What did you say?" Everyone was startled by Wu Tian's words.
A cold smile flickered across Wu Tian's lips, and he said, "Don't you find anything strange?"
"Why are so many people coming and going here, yet they specifically stopped us?"
"If they wanted to rob one or two people, wouldn't that be safer?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Wu Tian made sense.
After all, there were five of them. What kind of robbers would ignore fewer people and target more?
A team member asked, "Then what's going on? What do they really want?"
Wu Tian said with a cold smile, "It's very simple. These guys are just Jin Zhewu's dogs."
"Jin Zhewu suffered a loss at my hands earlier and couldn't swallow his pride, so he sent people to stop us."
"So what do we do now?"
The others had no doubt about Wu Tian's words.
Because, without realizing it, they had come to trust Wu Tian a lot.
Wu Tian said, "Leave this matter to me. Since they've come to my doorstep, I'll have to teach them a lesson."
A team member said nervously, "Is it okay for you to go alone? These are all thugs!"
"I heard that Japanese thugs are very fierce. I think maybe we should just forget it?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Thugs? I'm sorry, I've taught plenty of thugs before."
"Guys like these weaklings are like kittens and puppies to me!"
After speaking, Wu Tian looked at the thugs and said in English, "I'll handle the rest of this."
The thug who understood English said, "Money, quickly!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You just want money, that's easy to say, but..."
His face suddenly turned cold, and then he fiercely slapped the thug!
"I'll give you money, but do you have the strength to take it!"
The thug never expected Wu Tian to do something like this!
As the crisp sound of the slap echoed, he let out a yelp and fell to the ground, even losing two front teeth!
"This!" Seeing this scene, the members of the Chinese team trembled violently!
Is this how Wu Tian solves problems?
This method... is it not a bit too violent!
