Li Du's tone was harsh; there was, of course, no need to show these people any courtesy.

The men still regarded him as a softie and surrounded him with either their arms folded or their chests puffed up.

Sophie was worried about Li Du being at the losing end, and so hastily went up to stand by him.

Li Du turned toward her with a heartfelt smile. Blocking Sophie, he looked at the group of them and sneered, ”Well, how about it? Are you guys asking for a fight?”

These people did not make any move; the topless young man rubbed his chin and said, ”Hey softie, you know that your words will only get you a beating, right?”

”Before you act,” Li Du said, ”better find out who you're up against in case you die unforeseen deaths. The scenery in Winslow may be nice but it's a small rural place. I understand why you guys may not be aware.”

Listening to him and seeing his confident demeanor and scornful expression, they hesitated.

They had provoked Li Du simply because they were jealous of him being with a gorgeous girl like Sophie. They had also believed him cowardly but now it seemed Li Du was tougher than they had assumed.

These people were neither members of the mafia nor the military and so they usually only bullied the weak. When the opponent was strong, they wouldn't dare to make any move.

After all, bullies liked to pick on the weak.

One of the men was smoking; he whispered, ”So who is this guy?”

Li Du didn't wish to fight with them, not when Sophie was there. He could only rely on the little bug to fight the battle. His fighting ability wasn't at its peak, and he might not be able to defend on all fronts.

Hence, the best strategy was to instill fear in them.

As soon as the man with the cigarette in his mouth finished speaking, Li Du employed Time Deceleration and then stepped forward to remove the cigarette from him.

With the cigarette in hand, he moved backward and, using his right hand, he snubbed it out by crushing the cigarette butt into the topless man's chest.

As he stepped back, Time Deceleration ceased. He raised the cigarette to show them, then flicked it away as he said expressionlessly, ”Don't smoke in public places.”

The topless man cried out, ”F*ck, that hurts!”

All he dared to say was that one-liner. Upon seeing what Li Du was capable of, these gem hunters didn't dare to make any moves.

They were beyond not having the guts to make further moves—they were frightened out of their wits.

Li Du moved at such lightning speed that before they could even take a good look, the cigarette in his mouth had already been snatched away and used to burn one of them.

If it was a knife Li Du held…

This thought crossed their minds at the same time and they exchanged looks before shrinking away backward without even another glance at Sophie.

Sophie hugged his waist from behind and giggled softly, ”Wow, how amazing are you?”

Li Du spread his arms out. ”Just being quick on my feet, that's all.”

Sophie had been worried about the two parties clashing; she had a mild temperament by nature and having the other party admit defeat was good enough for her.

Hence, as she spoke, she pulled Li Du's hand and dragged him over to the other side.
