A few Western Continent people pinned the driver and the boss against the car, demanding compensation, or else they'd keep the vehicle. The driver had already received a heavy slap and was unable to explain or speak. Someone else swung a large black arm, looking eager to use force.

Li Yan quickly surveyed the surroundings. There were few pedestrians, and such incidents were a common sight, with nobody paying attention.

"We didn't hit anyone..."

"So you're saying we're extorting money, trying to swindle you? How dare you slander us like this? Do you think we're easy to bully because we're from the Western Continent? Believe it or not, I can call a hundred Western Continent folks right now to take turns fucking you!" A Western Continent individual pounded the car roof next to the boss, shouting angrily as if this was a huge insult to him—discrimination, slander, inhumane! Only by paying up and apologizing could it be resolved.

The other Western Continent people were equally excited. Of course, they were excited; the anger was just an act.

"So how much do you want? I don't have much cash on me." The boss, a cultured man, realized he was dealing with professional extortionists. For a successful person like him, personal safety was paramount, and he thought of it as spending money to avoid disaster. Such ruffians were not worth much attention, and the extortion amount wouldn't be too large.

"No problem, as long as you have a card. There's an ATM there!" The Western Continent guy was somewhat satisfied with his submission.

If they hijacked the car, even selling it second-hand could fetch six figures. But the car was too big, easy to trace, and difficult to sell. For them, cash was the best option.

The Western Continent leader holding down the boss suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around sharply, almost cursing, only to see a hand already swung towards his face!

Buzz—!

He only felt his vision go dark, and his head spun with ringing ears, then came the sharp pain in his face.

On his dark face, no fingerprints would show, but the nosebleed was unavoidable. The Western Continent person was facing the car and turned to get slapped by Li Yan. For Li Yan behind him, it wasn't convenient to punch him like hitting black sugarcane or loquats, so he kicked the man in the back of his knee.

The Western Continent person, already dizzy, had his knee attacked and immediately knelt down against the boss's legs.

Li Yan grabbed his neck and coldly commanded, "Get lost!"

The other three, by the time he acted, had also turned their heads. But since he was quick and the Western Continent guys were used to rampant behavior in G City, especially around this area, they hadn't expected a Yun Country person to dare challenge four burly men, so they were momentarily stunned.

When they saw their companion brought down and heard the command to "get lost," the other three Western Continent men reacted, immediately ignoring the driver and boss, surrounding Li Yan in a triangle formation, along with three cars on the other side, leaving him no escape.

Setting aside racial discrimination factors, in terms of genetics and physical fitness, different races have their strengths and weaknesses. This can be seen in sports; for example, Western Continent people have an unbeatable advantage in large, contact sports and athletics. But just like people joke that Westerners have a 'higher density,' they don't fare well in lighter, more skillful sports like diving and swimming.

Look at the NBA, the World Cup, the three major boxing championships... The robust physicality of Western Continent people is undeniable. In this area, people from the Eastern Continent lag far behind.

Li Yan certainly wouldn't run, but because of concerns about the strong physicality of Western Continent people, he had to strike harder than usual, as he couldn't hit vital points or take them down in one move.

The three Western Continent men looked at him disdainfully, one of them cautiously pulling out a small folding knife.

Li Yan's stature could impress and satisfy two Beihai Country girls and was actually tall relative to Yun Country people, especially southerners. But to these burly Western Continent men, he seemed thin. They believed if they all rushed at him in a pile, they could crush Li Yan flat. As for their companion being taken down, of course, it was because of a sneak attack, not because Western Continent people are weaker.

The streets have their own rules, and fighting has its rules. But clearly, the Western Continent people didn't understand street rules, and Li Yan wasn't competing with them. They were just fighting on the streets; there was no concern for rounds, prohibitions, moves, or grandeur. There was only one goal—to take the opponent down before being taken down!

The Western Continent people, mixed together, already had a good rapport. Just as they reacted quickly to surround Li Yan, at this moment, with just a glance, they all shouted and suddenly lunged forward, trying to grab and hold the inescapable Li Yan, one even aiming to stab his butt! Of course, just the butt and not the anus—a spot with more flesh, bleeding a bit won't be deadly, while stabbing the other spot with a blade risked murder.

As they moved, Li Yan also moved. He swiftly lifted his foot, stepping on the shoulder of the Western Continent person who had been slapped and kicked to his knees before him, then leapt up, with the other foot landing on the car roof beside the boss. This move made the Western Continent men from three sides crash into each other.

Li Yan wasn't trying to look cool on the car roof. It was just a leverage attack! They collided underneath, barely managing to look up, when Li Yan's legs split open to kick at two of their heads!

The pose of this action wasn't as light and graceful as Li Jie's leap from the truck roof last time, but the strength was much greater. And the angle wasn't as wide as Li Jie's, so more weight was borne on the two Western Continent people's heads.

The kick to their heads made the two Western Continent men scream miserably, falling to the side, causing Li Yan's legs to spread open, forcing him to retract them and land back on the ground. But his hands weren't idle either, as there was still a Western Continent man with a knife ahead!

In the blink of an eye, as that person swung his knife upwards aiming at the rear, Li Yan grabbed his wrist with one hand and punched his eye with the other.

One punch!

Two punches!

Three punches!

By the time Li Yan landed, he had quickly delivered three punches to the person's eye, the same spot, the same eye. The Western Continent man screamed in agony, covering his eye which was swollen shut.

After landing, Li Yan quickly lifted his leg and kicked forward, while releasing the man's hand, swiftly pushing him to the roadside.

The two Western Continent men who were heavily kicked in the head fell to the ground, temporarily unable to get up quickly. But the one who was disoriented from Li Yan's slaps, after kneeling, managed to rest for a moment. Now somewhat awake, he immediately turned and hugged Li Yan's waist, calling to the others.

The driver and boss had long been stunned with fear. Seeing the fight unfold till now, they finally grasped the situation, realizing someone was there to help them. Watching the Western Continent man hugging Li Yan from behind, they gathered their courage and struck the man's head vigorously.

It must be said, the physical strength of Western Continent people generally makes them stronger, holding onto Li Yan without him immediately shaking off. But this posed no challenge to him, as he immediately elbowed backwards! From a position being held, provided the height isn't drastically different, an elbow strike backwards usually hits the waist of the person behind. If trained, it can strike the vulnerable Zhangmen point or ribs.

Struck heavily in the waist by Li Yan and pounded in the head by four fists, that Western Continent man screamed repeatedly. As he hadn't let go yet, Li Yan didn't stop, lifting his knee forward then kicking backwards! Like two large fruits being kicked, the man immediately screamed and collapsed on the ground, no longer clutching Li Yan, frantically covering his lower body.

Seeing this situation, besides the two who were kicked in the head struggling to rise, the Western Continent man hit in the eye with three punches had already gotten up, covering one eye while frantically running away.

Watching the four of them unable to retaliate, Li Yan could only give them a small lesson without truly defeating them. He kicked aside the Western Continent man clutching his lower body, then pulled the driver and boss.

"Not leaving yet?"

"Yes, yes, let's go, hurry!" The boss snapped out of it, rushing to open the car door, and the driver quickly followed suit.

"Benefactor, please, please get in the car!" As he stepped into the car, the boss suddenly rethought it, quickly stepping back to invite Li Yan. "Join us?"

Li Yan didn't hesitate; it's difficult to find a ride here, so he first took their car and planned to call a taxi once reaching a busier area.

After getting in the car, the driver hurriedly drove away, his face burning with pain, unwilling to linger any longer.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The boss, somewhat settled, eagerly stretched out to shake hands with Li Yan.

Li Yan shook hands casually, saying, "No problem, just happened to bump into it." Then he turned to the driver ahead, "Drive to a busier area, I need a taxi!"

"What are you saying? Where are you headed, I'll take you!" the boss quickly replied.

"No need to be polite, I just couldn't stand their behavior. The place I'm going is quite far, don't want to take up your time."

Having just been terrified by the Western Continent men, the boss now saw Li Yan as a lifesaver and was reluctant to let him go. Suddenly recalling something, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you heading back to S City? You seem familiar to me, my surname is Wu, Wu Songtao. It's not a common surname, does it ring a bell?"

Li Yan had initially felt he looked familiar, but amid the fight, there was no time to ponder. Now hearing his name, Li Yan did remember, indeed, he'd met one person with the surname Wu before; it clicked from his mind. He was the construction contractor from last time when he went for a contract signing with Wen Qianyi.

"I remembered, you're Mr. Li from Paradise Group!" Wu Songtao exclaimed, excited. As a boss, he meets many people, and since the focus last time was Wen Qianyi, he just felt Li Yan looked familiar, not immediately recalling who he was.

"I remembered too. Mr. Wu, pleasure to meet you!"

Already grateful, and now with this layer of connection, Wu Songtao decided internally to prioritize any related business with Li Yan. Insisting on dropping him at his destination, Li Yan reluctantly agreed, having him driven to the hot spring hotel.
