"You pathetic loser, apologize to Brother Huai quickly!" Zhou Hongyun cursed angrily.
Li Se glanced at Zhou Hongyun, a cold glint in his eyes. Though he said nothing, that single glance startled Zhou Hongyun, leaving him speechless.
"Listen to Hongyun and apologize to Brother Huai!" Huang Zhenguo urged.
"He... isn't qualified yet," Li Se said with a touch of disdain.
Huai Ge's companions sneered at this.
"This kid dares to say Brother Huai isn't qualified?"
"Looks like he needs a taste of the Feng family's fists to know his limits."
"In the capital, someone dares to look down on the Feng family? Is this guy an idiot?"
The Feng family was a second-tier aristocratic family in the capital. Besides the top families, these were the next echelon. While they might not wield political power, they possessed wealth and influence. Such families typically practiced martial arts and were financially well-off, making them formidable to cross.
Unexpectedly, someone now dared to belittle the Feng family.
*Crack crack!*
Huai Ge cracked his knuckles, his muscles emitting sounds that were quite impactful. He swung his fist and chuckled, "It seems you won't know how powerful the Feng family's fists are unless I teach you a lesson!"
Seeing that Huai Ge was truly about to act, Huang Zhenguo quickly said to Huang Shanshan, "Shanshan, what's the matter with Li Se? Is it so hard to apologize? Or does he think getting beaten up is no big deal? What if it implicates us?"
"This kind of person is not a suitable match. After today, no matter what, I won't allow you to associate with him!" Zhu Manyin stated firmly. She considered Li Se to be brainless, likely trying to show off in front of her, especially after Zhou Hongyun had stolen the spotlight earlier. But who could blame that? If you lack strength, you lack strength. Now he had offended the Feng family; who knew how he would die later!
Huang Shanshan, however, remained calm. "Dad, Mom, it's fine!"
"You silly girl..." Zhu Manyin was somewhat annoyed. Was her daughter being charmed? She trusted this young man so much?
Although Huang Zhenguo looked down on Li Se, he also felt a pang of sympathy at the thought of him being beaten. He immediately turned to Zhou Hongyun, "Hongyun, is there any way to defuse this?"
"No way. Offending the Feng family, even I am helpless," Zhou Hongyun spread his hands. Even if he had a way, he wouldn't help. The main reason was that he had been intimidated by the kid's gaze earlier, which made him feel resentful. It was good if the kid got beaten; it would also let Huang Shanshan know the gap between him and the kid.
Huang Zhenguo sighed. If even Zhou Hongyun was helpless, then they could only leave it to fate.
"Kid, feeling arrogant? You even look down on the Feng family's fists. Today, I'll show you how powerful the Feng family's fists truly are!" Huai Ge shouted, unleashing a punch. Before his fist even landed, the fierce fist wind had already arrived.
The Feng family's fists indeed packed a punch; at least they had cultivated a form of hidden strength. Back in Qingyun City, Li Se had already clashed with members of the Feng family when his strength wasn't as great, and he had defeated them. Even more so now, his counter was simple: he reached out and grabbed, then with an incredibly powerful force, he captured the fist, instantly neutralizing it.
At this moment, everyone in the private room was stunned. No one had expected Li Se to catch Huai Ge's fist so easily.
Huai Ge was utterly bewildered. He had thrown a punch that could at least break bones, yet such a fierce blow was caught so lightly. What frustrated him most was that he had exerted considerable strength in that punch, but upon being grabbed, all that power seemed to dissipate instantly.
"You..." Huai Ge had just uttered one word when he let out a scream. Li Se had twisted Huai Ge's arm, and with a *crack*, the sound of breaking bone echoed.
The sound sent shivers down everyone's spine.
With a bang, Huai Ge was kicked out of the private room by Li Se.
"Is that all the Feng family's fists have?" Li Se asked dismissively.
The others widened their eyes, unable to believe what they had just witnessed. They genuinely felt that the Feng family's fists were nothing special.
"Brother Huai!" His subordinates reacted and immediately rushed out of the private room.
Silence fell upon the room. After a moment, Zhou Hongyun spoke first, "You were too impulsive. If you had taken that punch just now, you'd be hospitalized for half a month at most. But now you've beaten Huai Ge. Do you know what the consequences will be?"
"This Huai Ge is from the Feng family, and the Feng family is a second-tier aristocratic family in the capital. How many people in the capital can afford to offend these aristocratic families? You will have to pay the price for your impulsiveness!"
When Huang Zhenguo and Zhu Manyin heard this, their faces changed. They had been immersed in Li Se's prowess moments ago, but now they snapped back to reality.
Yes, as Zhou Hongyun had said, what was the point of winning? This was the Feng family, an aristocratic family in the capital. Was there any way to survive after offending such a family?
"Impulsive, too impulsive!" Zhu Manyin sighed.
Huang Zhenguo became even more resolute in his heart. He absolutely could not let his daughter be with such a person; he would surely be the cause of her death sooner or later.
"Young Master Feng, there's a kid inside who looks down on our Feng family's fists. Relying on some skill, he attacked me!"
At this moment, Huai Ge's furious voice came from outside the private room.
"Someone dares to look down on our Feng family's fists?" Feng Xiuming's face darkened. The Feng family had a reputation in the capital, and now someone dared to belittle them and beat his men?
"Young Master, to injure Feng Huai, even with a sneak attack, this kid inside still has some capability," Old Feng said from the side.
"Heh heh, then I shall see for myself," Feng Xiuming sneered and strode into the private room.
Fang Chuwen, who was hiding nearby, turned pale. Things had truly escalated. He hadn't expected Li Se to beat Huai Ge, and now even the young master of the Feng family had appeared. It seemed difficult to resolve. But this incident had happened in his restaurant; it was a big problem.
In the private room, Zhou Hongyun and the others naturally heard Feng Xiuming's voice, and their expressions shifted.
"Young Master Feng is here. We're finished," Zhou Hongyun immediately looked at Li Se. "Kneel down quickly and apologize properly to Young Master Feng. Perhaps Young Master Feng will be magnanimous. Otherwise, you won't know how you'll die!"
Huang Zhenguo nodded. "This is a way. A true man knows when to bend and when to stand firm. Although it's humiliating, we must first survive this ordeal."
Li Se smiled. "Uncle, Aunt, I don't even put the Feng family in my eyes."
"Well said, you don't put my Feng family in your eyes!"
Feng Xiuming happened to hear this, his face turning frighteningly grim.
