168 Nobody Tells Me Nuffin (1/2)

Anthony was stunned when the phone was smacked away by a wooden bat—he had a hard time telling what had happened. However, he recovered quickly. He turned around with the cute smile still hanging on his face.

When the wooden bat came for him earlier, Anthony's good reflexes had already felt something, but even though he managed to evade his fatal parts from being hit, it was not enough. The wooden bat brushed through the back of his hand to create a bruise.

He rubbed the hand carefully before pushing it inside his pocket. Facing the group of men that surrounded him, he grumbled in a light tone, ”Why did you do that? I haven't finished the conversation with my baby.”

Then he paused. He slid the iPad he was holding with his other hand inside the backpack and very happily guessed what was happening. ”Hmm, is this because Alexander was chased out of the company by me or because of the handlers that were sniped by me on the stock market? I guess your boss must be the big bad guy who has been laundering money?

”It's just some money. Losing his temper over something small like that…”

Then he shook his head and sighed. ”I should have known those who refused to follow the rules are not good people.”

The men surrounding him were rendered speechless.

Some money‽

Even though they did not know the exact number, based on the thunderous voice that they had heard on the phone, it did not sound like only some money was involved. The leader of the group of men said with a frown, ”The boss' meaning is, harming your friend is simply a misunderstanding, and we admit the mistake, so why don't both of us take a step back and show each other face?”

Before the target was decided, those who came out to mix in the world knew the importance of showing kindness. For example, before Anthony showed up, it was fine for them to trick An Empire—they won fair and square. However, with the arrival of Anthony, they saw his capability.

Huh! Looks like a kindred spirit and an expert at that‽

Therefore, to preserve the sake of harmony, each taking a step back was the best solution.

I'm just here for the money, and you're here to protect the people. Then I'll stop harming your people, and you'll stop ruining my channel to earn money. Everyone will be spared some trouble.

Unfortunately, Anthony had never been one to follow the rules.

”But I cannot feel your sincerity.” Anthony pointed at the wooden bats that the men were holding. The men looked at each other; they had been tasked with scaring Anthony, but these things were easier done than said.

Do we have to spell everything out‽

Before the group of men decided what to do, Anthony opened his lips to say, ”Plus, it's fun playing with your boss.”

A harmless smile hung on his cute face, but the content was not as friendly as he made it out to be. ”So, I don't feeling like giving him face. What do you think about that‽”

Wait, is he taunting us‽ The leader replied in a darker tone, ”Then we'll be forced not to show you face as well.”

When he finished, the atmosphere in the alley tensed like a battle was about to erupt.

…

When Ye Shuang had gone to the nightclub to haul Anthony back with Little Brother Ye, Ye Shuang had warned her brother that Anthony's curiosity was much more dangerous than normal people's. Since he had the power, good physical skill, and a powerful survival ability, he had more than enough survivability to satisfy his curiosity and desire for interesting things.

Normal people would limit their curiosity and desire due to morality. Even if they felt compelled by their eager heart, their dreams could not be made into reality due to their lack of ability.

However, Anthony wasn't held back by these conditions.

When he was interested in something common, what he might do could be called a prank. When he was interested in the security system of the Pentagon, what he might do would be called a crime. One day, when he was interested in an atomic bomb, Anthony could be called a terrorist.

Therefore, before knowing Anthony's bottom line, Ye Shuang had warned Little Brother Ye from getting too close to Anthony.

”It's okay if you want to play games together, but do not get involved in any of Anthony's schemes, or I'll butcher you alive,” she had said.

On top of that, Ye Shuang had no power to gauge what Anthony might do next. The man's decisions and actions were controlled by strokes of inspiration; there was no logic.

But knowing was different from seeing. When she saw with her own eyes the group of people that collapsed around Anthony, Ye Shuang, who just arrived, had the desire to slap her hand on her forehead. Anthony was talking on the phone, which was connected to his iPad.
