Chapter 57 - The Hopping Clown
Inside the nightclub.
Sometime later, Billy made his way downstairs. After glancing around, he failed to spot the boss and asked in surprise, "Where\'s the boss?"
"Outside, fighting people." Ah Zhen said while sitting on the couch, reading through the [Golden Vajra Body] incomplete martial art manual with rapt attention.
"What? People came to cause trouble? How can let the boss fight alone? I\'m going out to help!" Billy stated, quickly grabbing his steel bat before heading out.
"The boss instructed everyone to stay in—"
Ah Zhen shortly paused and shrugged his shoulders, seeing that the person had already left without listening to him.
"Well, whatever."
The whole gang was beaten down by the boss. Would the boss even need help? The person was simply trying too hard to suck up to the boss.
Ah Zhen no longer bothered and return his attention to the martial art manual.
Shortly after exiting the building, Billy was startled by the large numbers of men standing outside.
However, his courage was immediately bolstered after spotting Albion standing in front of the entrance defiantly.
Since the boss was not afraid, why should he be?!
"Who has come trouble for the Chen Gang?!" Billy barked, strolling over menacingly with his steel bat rested on his shoulders.
Reagan Declan shifted his gaze from Albion to the approaching thug and snorted with contempt, "Which dog is barking?!"
"This dog is barking!"
"…"
"Pfft!" Meng Yan immediately broke into laughter, turning around and hollered to his men, "Hahaha, did you hear that, men? He called himself a dog! The Chen Gang are a bunch of idiots!"
His words immediately send waves of laughter through not only the Yan Gang but also the Declan Gang next to them!
At the same time, Reagan Declan looked at Billy like he was looking at an idiot and chuckled, "Hahaha, that\'s right. It\'s good to be self-aware."
After a moment, Billy realized the error in his words and flushed with embarrassment. The embarrassment quickly transformed to anger before he roared, "I\'m going to kill you!"
He gripped his steel bat tightly and charged forward, but he was immediately stopped by Albion\'s raised hand.
Albion\'s other hand could be seen pinching the bridge of his nose with distress before he sighed at Billy, "Why have you come out to embarrass yourself? Step back. You\'re no match for them."
"But boss, I want to help!" Billy argued.
"Oh, is that so? Well then, do you want to fight the two bosses of the Yan Gang and Declan Gang or the 400 men behind them? Take your pick. I\'m not picky."
Albion\'s words deflated Billy\'s courage, causing him to nearly choke on his own spit. After a moment, Billy awkwardly coughed, "Ahem, I\'ll just leave them all you, boss."
"Scram!" Albion barked after rolling his eyes.
"Yes!"
Billy scurried back inside the nightclub defeatedly.
Ah Zhen raised his head and saw the person return shortly after the person had just left. He could not help but wrinkly his brows in confusion.
"Why are you back already?"
Billy lifted his head despondently and sighed, "Haiz, let\'s not talking about that."
…
Back outside, Albion returned his attention to the two gang leaders and said, "Sorry about that. Now, where were we?"
"That joker called you his boss? You do not look like Brother Chen nor his son. Who are you?" Reagan Declan interrogated with doubt.
Meng Yan\'s eyes also flickered with suspicions.
However, no matter how they look at Albion, he did not look like someone strong. His muscles were lean, but his face was young and innocent, like someone still inexperienced with violence.
In short, they could not sense the disposition of a strong fighter or martial artist from Albion.
"Me? I am the new boss of the Chen Gang. Brother Chen is dead, and the Chen Gang has submitted to me. Why don\'t both of you and your gangs submit to me too? It will save you some beating." Albion said casually.
His words immediately caused Reagan Declan to approach him while bursting into laughter, "Hahaha, how ridiculous! Someone like you, I can snap with one finger… Wa-Cho!"
Reagan suddenly cried with a fierce glint, launching a sneak attack at Albion\'s head with his leg kicking at great speed!
However, it was easily stopped by Albion\'s grasp with one hand while the force of wind softly rustled his hair.
"Impossible!"
Reagan Declan widened his eyes with shock and immediately tried to retract his leg, but it was locked firmly in Albion\'s grasp.
At the same time, Meng Yan\'s casual expression changed to seriousness.
Albion glanced at the leg he was holding before gazing back at Reagan Declan with surprise. What the heck did he just hear?
"You\'re a Bruce Lee-wannabe, right?" Albion asked.
Reagan Declan\'s eyes immediately clouded with confusion. After a moment, he fiercely growled, "What the f*ck is a Bruce Lee-wannabe? You are making fun of me, right?! Wa—!"
Reagan Declan attempted to hop, kicking out with his other leg.
However, Reagan\'s attack was quickly interrupted by Albion\'s slight push, causing Reagan to hop back awkwardly on one leg.
"Oh right…"
Albion muttered.
He forgot there was no Bruce Lee in this world.
"Haiz, it\'s lonely to be cursed with knowledge," Albion sighed with disappointment.
Knowledge from his previous world that no one else knows, meaning no one will ever understand his references.
"What the f*ck are you even talking about? Why can\'t I understand? Let go of me, you damn brat!" Reagan Declan barked, pulling his leg back furiously but to no avail.
Albion put on an exaggerated surprise look and said, "Why would I do that? Isn\'t this kind of fun? Hop-hop, two steps. To the right, two hops. Now to the left, two hops. Well done. You\'re really good at this."
Reagan Declan was forced to hop around like a fool, according to Albion\'s whims.
"Bastard!" Reagan Declan cursed furiously with gritted teeth and popping veins before glaring back at his men. "What are you all waiting for?! Kill him!"
The Declan Gang immediately charged forward with their weapons in upon their boss\'s orders, quickly closing the distance towards their one legged-bound boss.
Simultaneously, Meng Yan had wisely chosen to quietly retreat some distance back to his gang, not intending to involve himself in a mess.
He had realized the boy before him had incredible brute strength!
