As soon as this group of thugs entered the bar, they headed straight towards Ye Qiu.
"Just as I thought!"
Ye Qiu chuckled coldly, knowing that Huangmao and the redhead had definitely gone to call reinforcements, but he wasn't too worried and continued to sip his beer.
"Brother Hong, these are the two who not only beat us up but also stopped us from collecting protection fees," Huangmao said, pointing at White Rose and Ye Qiu.
"You two beat up my guys?"
The man called Brother Hong glared intensely at Ye Qiu and White Rose. Beating his men on his turf was practically a slap to his face, and for the people in this line of work, face is everything. He couldn't tolerate it.
This group of thugs was indeed menacing; surrounded by them, White Rose was a bit flustered, her earlier composure completely gone.
Still, she shouted, "What do you want? Try me, and I'll call hundreds of my guys to take you down in no time!"
"Hundreds of guys? Pah, if you can call even ten, I'll admit defeat!" Huangmao spat on the ground disdainfully, though more anger boiled inside him.
Even if he wasn't all that impressive, he had worked hard to ingratiate himself with Brother Hong, finally earning a small captain's role. But now, he'd been disciplined by a young girl!
If this isn't handled well, how could he hold his head up in this area in the future?
The redhead wasn't a small captain, but his anger towards White Rose was no less than Huangmao's, as he viewed today's incident as a blemish on his life that he couldn't accept.
"Exactly! A bratty little girl, does she really think she's a big shot? If you've got the guts, call your minions right now!" jeered the thugs.
Their intimidation was potent, causing White Rose to instinctively take two steps back in fear.
Ye Qiu knew he couldn't just sit idly any longer, so he stood up and supported White Rose.
Seeing Ye Qiu, Huangmao and the redhead immediately stepped forward; Ye Qiu was the instigator and must not be let off.
"Brother Hong, it was this guy who fought us; he's pretty good at it!"
"Good at fighting? No matter how good, he's just one person. What does he think against our thirty-plus?" Brother Hong sneered scornfully.
Brother Hong's remark resonated with the surrounding thugs, who looked at Ye Qiu as if he were already a dead man.
Faced with the thugs' disdain, Ye Qiu was even more contemptuous, thinking it wouldn't even require him to act against such rabble.
Ye Qiu pointed to the bar's entrance and said to White Rose, "Boss, here come your guys!"
As he pointed, everyone instinctively looked towards the entrance.
At this moment, a line of strongmen walked in.
If Brother Hong's build was robust, then compared to this group of newly arrived strongmen, he was nearly a miniature.
These strongmen's sheer muscular build revealed the explosive power within them.
It's no exaggeration to compare them to strongman athletes, yet these men had something beyond that—a fierce glint in their eyes indicated they were definitely no pushovers!
"Whoa, these two-meter giants, with those explosive muscles, it's overwhelming!"
"More importantly, they're a group, not individuals!"
"To mobilize so many strongmen equivalent to strongmen athletes, how powerful must one's influence be?"
Everyone was stunned, blankly staring at the group of strongmen.
What happened next left them even more shocked.
The strongmen walked straight to White Rose, lined up, bowed to her, and shouted in unison, "Boss!"
"Hiss..."
Their voices boomed through the bar, and everyone gasped!
"Is this girl really the boss of these strongmen?"
"Oh my, before, when she said she had hundreds of minions, I didn't believe her. But now I do!"
"The point isn't just that; the crucial thing is these strongmen could probably each take on ten men. Brother Hong is in trouble!"
The crowd was utterly shocked, then they looked at Brother Hong and his men as if ready to enjoy the spectacle.
Brother Hong and his group of thugs stood there dumbfounded.
"She really has minions? This isn't just boasting? Moreover, these minions are ridiculously formidable!"
Although only a little over a dozen strongmen came, their presence made the thugs' legs tremble. The fight hadn't even started, and they knew they were utterly defeated!
They had thought White Rose only had Ye Qiu, a good fighter, but now a whole group showed up!
Seeing these strongmen, White Rose was also a bit taken aback. She had just arrived in Jiangnan City; how could she have any minions? Yet, these people genuinely called her Boss—this baffled her.
"Alright, get rid of this trash for me!"
Ye Qiu waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
With Ye Qiu's command, the strongmen responded in unison, then turned to face the thugs.
"Thud..."
One thug was so intimidated by a glare from the strongmen that his legs gave way, and he collapsed on the ground.
"This... this has nothing to do with me; I'm innocent!"
One person pleaded, and soon others couldn't hold back, all chiming in, "Yeah, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
In an instant, nearly all of Brother Hong's henchmen were begging for mercy, leaving Brother Hong embarrassed, but what else could he do? The strongmen were simply overwhelming.
Even Brother Hong felt a chill seeing these strongmen.
However, the strongmen ignored the thugs' pleas, as they were there to obey Ye Qiu unconditionally. Since Ye Qiu ordered them to kick the thugs out, they had to oblige!
"Ah, help! No, don't hit me..."
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll kneel; please don't hit me!"
"Boohoo, I'll leave, I'll leave on my own, okay?"
Instantly, the bar echoed with cries and pleas for mercy from all directions.
