The young man's unyielding attitude made the girl realize that the matter would not end easily today.
However, she was merely a street performer, and alone, she was no match for the young man's arrogance.
Thus, she could only cast a pleading gaze at the crowd and say, "Please, everyone, help me..."
Seeing the young man's actions, the onlookers were already filled with righteous indignation. They spoke out, "Hey, isn't what you're doing a bit too much?"
"Yeah, the girl is already quite pitiful, and you're still bullying her like this. I say you're not human!"
"You'd better let her go quickly, or I'll call the police!"
They spoke one after another, their words filled with anger, as if they wished to drown the young man with their spittle.
If it had been an ordinary thug, under such collective anger, he might have backed down and left quickly.
But this young man's demeanor was clearly exceptionally arrogant.
He looked at the crowd and said, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you all shouting about? What business does this have to do with any of you? Is it your place to be yelling here?"
"I'm telling you, you'd better not meddle in other people's affairs, or do you believe I'll deal with you all together!"
Seeing that the young man was not only unrepentant but even dared to speak such words, the onlookers became even more enraged.
The accusations grew more intense:
"I say, what kind of person are you? Truly heartless. Who do you think you are?"
"I'm telling you, this is a society governed by law, and everyone understands and abides by it. Someone like you will never be able to be so arrogant!"
"Get lost! We're still talking to you nicely now, but if you don't know what's good for you, we really won't let you off!"
From within the crowd, a man, his voice growing increasingly angry, spoke.
He stepped forward directly and said to the young man, "Hey, did you hear what we said?"
"If you heard it, then do as we say immediately. If you didn't hear it, then I'll have to help clear your ears!"
As he spoke, the man cracked his knuckles, the popping sound echoing immediately.
But the young man seemed to pay no attention to the man at all.
He said disdainfully, "You? Who do you think you are? If you have the guts, touch me, and see if I don't kill you!"
The man's anger flared further upon hearing this. He cursed, "Damn it, causing trouble and still so arrogant, huh? I'll let you taste my power now!"
With that, the man grabbed the young man's collar, intending to throw him to the ground.
But at that moment, the young man's attendants rushed forward and pulled the man away.
The man struggled, trying to push them away.
However, these attendants were clearly not ordinary people, and within moments, they had knocked the man to the ground.
What followed was a storm of kicks and stomps.
Hearing the man's continuous screams, the young man burst into laughter.
He looked at the crowd and said, "So what? Is this all you've got? You all shout so fiercely, but you're just a bunch of cowards!"
"Do you know who I am? I'll tell you, I am Hu Kai, the young master of the Feitian Sect!"
"Anyone who dares to speak up today will be an enemy of the Feitian Sect. Do you have that kind of courage!"
As soon as Hu Kai revealed his identity, the expressions of those who had been filled with righteous indignation immediately stiffened.
Even Wu Tian's expression couldn't help but falter slightly.
He hadn't expected something like this. So this young man was the young master of the Feitian Sect? That meant the Feitian Sect didn't seem all that impressive!
The Feitian Sect had a great reputation locally. Not to mention ordinary people, even those with power and influence couldn't afford to offend such a sect.
Therefore, after Hu Kai revealed his identity, the crowd's eyes darted away, and everyone fell silent.
Seeing everyone's fear, Hu Kai felt immensely pleased.
He continued to mock the crowd, "What's wrong? Weren't you just scolding quite enthusiastically? Now you have nothing to say?"
"As expected, a rabble is just a rabble. They have no other skills, but they're quite good at shouting."
"I call you cowards, do you dare to have an opinion about me?"
"Cowards! Cowards! Cowards!"
Hu Kai's attitude became increasingly arrogant, reaching a point of utter shamelessness.
The crowd was greatly angered by Hu Kai's overbearing behavior.
But there was nothing they could do, given that he was the young master of the Feitian Sect.
Based on the principle of not causing trouble for themselves, they dared not speak, even when Hu Kai insulted them.
Because if they dared to utter a single word, disaster would surely befall them!
Hu Kai's vanity surged to its peak.
He smiled at the girl and said, "How about it, beautiful? Now that no one can save you, right?"
"Honestly, being able to follow me is also your honor. After all, not just any commoner catches my eye."
"So don't resist me anymore, and enjoy the favor I bestow upon you!"
With that, Hu Kai let out a sharp laugh and lunged at the girl!
"Ah!" The girl's face drained of color in fear.
At this moment, she felt so desperate, wishing so much for someone to save her.
But Hu Kai had already intimidated everyone. Who else could save her?
Tears streamed down her face, but besides crying, she could offer no resistance.
Just then, as if piercing through dark clouds, a dazzling ray of sunlight shone down.
"Stop!"
A voice filled with confidence echoed across the square.
Everyone froze, and Hu Kai ceased his rough actions.
He turned his head to look, frowning, and asked, "Who are you?"
The one who still dared to speak such words now was naturally Wu Tian.
Wu Tian looked at Hu Kai and said coldly, "Let her go, if you don't want to die."
Hu Kai hadn't expected someone to dare speak to him like that.
His face immediately turned grim, and he said, "What do you mean by that? What, you want to be a hero saving the damsel too?"
"You've already seen what kind of person the last hero saving the damsel was. Do you want to end up like him?"
Wu Tian looked at him coldly and said, "Enough nonsense. I'm telling you to let her go now."
"You'd better seize this opportunity, or don't blame me for taking action against you!"
