Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Who Gave You the Courage to Wield a Knife at Me? (2/2)

Upon hearing these words, the thief’s initially arrogant demeanor diminished noticeably, clearly showing signs of fear.

He glanced around and noticed that all eyes were on him. The fear and tension in their eyes pierced through him, and the thief suddenly grew angry again.

Brandishing the knife in his hand, he shouted at the passengers around him, “What are you looking at, you bunch of scoundrels!”

“Just because I stole some of your things, you keep complaining day in and day out. If it weren’t for you people, why would there be so many police officers?”

“D*mn it, I’m not a murderer or an arsonist. What’s wrong with stealing your stuff?”

“What kind of looks are you giving me? I’ll stab every one of you to death!”

The thief’s words were full of arrogance. Waving the knife menacingly, he continued his tirade.

At this point, the passengers in the last compartment, who were already few in number, huddled in a corner, watching the thief in fear. No one dared to speak up.

Meanwhile, the subway was announcing the upcoming station stop. Even the double-door alarm lights were flashing, indicating that the train was about to stop.

Hearing the station announcement, the thief sneered. Seeing the frightened looks of the passengers, he muttered, “Cowards!”

He then glanced toward the entrance and began to move slowly.

“Smart ones, don’t move,” he warned. “The train is arriving, and I’ll leave immediately.”

“Only a few thousand bucks a month. It’s not worth you risking your lives for!”

Hearing this, both Su Xuan and Zheng Wenjie exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.

The thief could tell that these two were not going to let him go. He clutched the folding knife and immediately charged at Su Xuan.

Compared to Zheng Wenjie, who was older, it was evident that Su Xuan, being younger, would be easier to deal with.

Su Xuan thought to himself, “Who gave you the courage?”

Although Su Xuan was unarmed, he had received training in apprehension techniques. Plus, he had the advantage of enhanced physical abilities from the body-enhancing potion he had taken.

Dealing with a mere thief was a piece of cake.

With a swift move, Su Xuan charged at the thief.

At this moment, Zheng Wenjie’s expression turned particularly grim.

Every police officer undergoes systematic training in apprehension techniques before they start working. They have a set of techniques for apprehending thieves, but it’s usually applied in situations where they directly confront thieves.

However, in cases like this, facing an armed criminal without any weapons, the police officers find themselves at a disadvantage. If they resort to physical confrontation, they might end up with more than a few holes in their bodies.

Zheng Wenjie immediately pressed the communication device, preparing to call for backup.

At the same time, he reminded aloud.

“Su Xuan, be careful!” he shouted into the radio. “1’11 call for help, and I’ll come to assist you!”

Zheng Wenjie, being an experienced member of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, was well aware that their team received daily training. Their skills were far superior to those of Su Xuan, who was not part of their specialized unit.

However, the criminal had targeted Su Xuan, not him, so he had to call for backup.

Unexpectedly, right after he turned to reach for his communication device, he witnessed Su Xuan swiftly knocked away the criminal’s wrist that was holding the foldable knife. Su Xuan then followed it up with a powerful kick aimed at the criminal’s nose.

That kick went so high it almost reached the guy’s head!

The criminal froze for a moment, then Su Xuan delivered a powerful kick straight to his face, causing a sharp crack as his nasal bone snapped. He fell to the ground in agony. Taking advantage of this moment, Su Xuan swiftly kicked the folding knife out of the criminal’s hand.

“Alih!”

The criminal let out a wailing cry, leaving Zheng Wenjie in shock.

These young folks nowadays…

Do they all have such impressive physical abilities?

That was a split kick!
