Chapter 333: Brawl (1/2)

Screams, cries, and the sounds of weapons smashing into flesh kept sounding across the road. It was an unfortunate fact that none of us were nearly as strong as we were in the game. Almost all of us were wounded in just less than two minutes, although thankfully no one had suffered worse than a few bricks to the body thus far. Worse comes to worst, we would be walking away with a bone fracture or two.

Gui Guzi was clutching his left arm because it was cut open by a watermelon knife. However, he also managed to snatch the weapon for himself and left similar wounds on his attackers’ arms. Xu Yang was swinging his brick left and right like a madman. He had to have hurt a lot of people.

I was the one who fared the worst out of all of us. Du Thirteen was so goddamn drunk that he could hardly stay on his feet, much less fight the bastards. I had to stand in front of him and Xue Lu and bear almost all the attacks coming their way. There were three bloody slash wounds on my arms, my purple shirt had turned gray in color due to the sheer amount of brick strikes I took, and even my forehead was blue and black at two separate spots.

……

“Huff… huff…”

I panted heavily but kept my eyes wide open. Life of Luxury’s hand was actually shaking a little as he said angrily, “What the fuck is wrong with you, Lu Chen? Who the hell is he to make you defend him like this?”

I replied indifferently, “Anyone who’d die for me is someone I’d die for!”

“Fuck you!”

Two hooligans rushed me at once. I threw a punch and successfully knocked the front teeth out of one of them, but I also took a brick to the back of my head. My consciousness started blurring.

“Lu Chen!”

I heard Du Thirteen shouting before I collapsed limply to the ground.

……

I closed my eyes, feeling as if I had had a nightmare. It was a nightmare I didn’t want to recall.

Drip… drip...

I opened my eyes when I felt a strange, warm liquid dripping on my nose. When I looked up, I was shocked to see Du Thirteen standing in front of me with the Swiss Army knife sticking out of his right shoulder. Blood was dripping profusely down his back and splashing against my face. My heart was ice cold with fear.

“Thirteen…”

Du Thirteen grabbed the hilt of the weapon and forced a painful smile to his face, “Life of Luxury, you are fucking nothing. What do you think women are, your toys?”

Behind Life of Luxury, a hooligan asked quietly, “Brother Luxury, isn’t this a little too much? Wha… what if he dies here?”

“What the hell are you afraid of? Nothing will happen even if he dies here today! I’ll make it all go away!”

Life of Luxury glared hatefully at Du Thirteen before kicking him right in the stomach. He immediately dropped to his knees.

Du Thirteen looked at Xue Lu and broke into a gentle smile. “Lulu, I… I’m fine…”

Not far away, Xu Yang was fighting four hooligans on his own. Gui Guzi was lying unconscious on the ground with blood on his forehead.

……

Rustle rustle rustle...

I grabbed onto the flowerbed and pulled myself up. I tried to make myself clear-headed, but I collapsed to the ground again before I could even take half a step forward. My face was cold, and my mouth was open, but I was so spent that I couldn’t even get a word out.

Du Thirteen was barely holding in the pain on his shoulder, but he stared at me and blurted, “Brother, you…”

Xue Lu was also watching me. “Lu Chen, you…”

I glared at her and yelled, “Xue Lu, look at what you’ve done!”

“I…” She burst into tears and sobbed again. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

……

Clutching a wound on his arm, Life of Luxury pointed at Xue Lu and ordered, “Bring that woman to me!”

Two hooligans ran over and forcefully dragged Xue Lu away.

“Kneel!”

After forcing Xue Lu to the ground, Life of Luxury grabbed her chin angrily and hatefully. “You like him that much, huh? You quit the bar and cut connections with everyone because of him, huh? Very good! Tonight I’ll fuck you to the high heavens right in front of him!”

At this point, Life of Luxury had gone completely insane. Dropping his pants and grabbing Xue Lu’s head, he shouted, “What’s wrong, bitch? You don’t want it? Show me that slutty bitch who clung to me the first day we met!”

Tears still pouring down her cheeks like a waterfall, Xue Lu shook her head with all her might.

All around us, the hooligans were laughing without a care for the world. One of them was actually sitting right on top of Gui Guzi and lighting a smoke for himself. If Gui Guzi wasn’t unconscious, only god knows what would’ve happened to this stupid bastard.

One of the hooligans laughed obscenely. “Faster, Brother Luxury, the police are gonna show up anytime soon! We want a go at her too, ya know! She’s quite the cutie!”

Life of Luxury replied, “Don’t worry, I have friends inside the police station! It’s all fine!”

……

Du Thirteen rose unsteadily to his feet with bloodshot eyes. Gritting his teeth and pulling out the Swiss Army knife on his shoulder abruptly, he shouted angrily, “I’ll kill you, you motherfucker!”

But Du Thirteen was so badly wounded that his movement was as slow as a snail. Life of Luxury easily knocked the weapon out of his hand and sent him stumbling with a powerful kick.

Thud!

I grabbed Du Thirteen’s shoulder and pushed him slightly to the side. “Let me!”

My head had finally cleared up enough that I could move again. After pushing Du Thirteen to the side, I ran toward Life of Luxury with incredible speed. I was the only one in the group who could still move this fast because I hadn’t drunk any alcohol during the dinner.
