Chapter 520 (2/2)

Lady Zhao also loved to fight for the name of justice. She was hoping to use her weak outlook as bait to punish the ill-willed people.

A fight between these two “defenders of the righteous” would never take place. Hu Xiaotian would never fight a girl.

Girls, especially the pretty ones, were the best bait, just like the three thugs who almost took the bait. It was a shame that they never bit down.

Hu Xiaotian was disappointed with the cowardness. But didn’t the little missy seem just as disappointed?

“Are you not Xiao Tian? Why are you here?”

Su Li rushed to stop Lady Zhao from causing any trouble. She knew this baseball bat-wielding kid. He was her younger sister’s childhood friend, the little brother she had watched over.

Hu Xiaotian childhood had been a harsh one. He was a victim of family violence, and was often forced to hide in Su Li’s house. Her mother ran away with another man. His dad was a gangsters who died in a gang fight.

Nobody knew that Hu Xiaotian had joined the fight and executed his dad in the name of justice. He felt no grief for his old man’s passing. On the contrary, he was almost overcome with intense emotions of relief and joy.

At that moment, he appreciated all the beatings that his dad gave him. Because of all these injustices that his dad had committed, he had relished beating his dad to death… Somehow he wished there were other despicable family members for him to kill… in the name of justice.

Vigilantes were not always appreciated, especially as of late. They were as much as criminals as those they claimed to punish.

“It has been a while, Big Sister!” Hu Xiaotian greeted Su Li enthusiastically.

Hu Xiaotian would never forget how much Su Li helped him in the past. He always hoped that Su Li would one day request for him to kill someone or burn something down. He could never repay his debt!

“Oh? You guys know each other?” Zhao Youyue quickly removed her war face, instantly reverting to courteous Lady Zhao.

“I cared for Xiao Tian when he was young. He was a good boy. I used to read stories to him and my sisters. Stories of morals and life, mostly,” Su Li smiled.

Hu Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment. Su Li was one of the reasons he became “partners with justice.”

If not influenced by Su Li, he would have ended up like his old man. Su Li had showed him what was worth protecting in the name of justice. Since then, it became raison d’etre.

Su Li’s family was at the top of Hu Xiaotian’s protection list. He would lay down his life for them.

Then, Su Li introduced them to each other.
