Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 408 Vicious Criminal


"Haha, I really am careless, to have not noticed such a spirited young girl here. Come here to me!" the gang leader pointed at Zhao Xiaoxiao and laughed heartily!

Zhao Xiaoxiao frowned immediately upon hearing the gang leader's words. She wasn't afraid of the gun-wielding leader at all. Instead, she replied coldly, "I advise you to take the money and leave right now, or you definitely won't make it out of this area!"

"Oh?" The gang leader felt it was utterly hilarious upon hearing Zhao Xiaoxiao's words. Was this girl out of her mind? He's a gun-toting criminal, after all. Doesn't he look evil enough?

With a submachine gun in hand, the gang leader quickly approached Zhao Xiaoxiao and aimed the gun directly at her head, his face full of mockery as he said, "Little girl, do you know what this is?"

"A gun that can kill people!" Zhao Xiaoxiao replied very calmly.

"Smart, so if you don't listen to me, I'll kill you!" boasted the gang leader arrogantly.

"You could kill me, of course, but the gunshot just now will not only lead to someone calling the police but also trigger the attention of people you absolutely do not want to provoke!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said with a cold voice.

"Who?"

"Heavenly Gate!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said with pride.

Zhao Dapeng was Zhao Xiaoxiao's brother, and Zhao Dapeng was also the leader of Heavenly Gate. Therefore, Zhao Xiaoxiao was essentially the princess of Heavenly Gate, and her confidence was justified!

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Gate," the expression of the criminal changed slightly, his brow furrowing as he surveyed Zhao Xiaoxiao and asked, "Are you with Heavenly Gate?"

"You're very smart!" Zhao Xiaoxiao replied with the same pride as before.

Recently, Heavenly Gate's reputation around Minghai Academy had been extremely loud, essentially tyrant-level in that area. So, when the criminal heard Zhao Xiaoxiao assert her affiliation with Heavenly Gate, he was genuinely surprised!

"Get out of here, hurry up and go!" the gang leader was very wary of Heavenly Gate. After all, how much could the police do? If Heavenly Gate was alerted, and Martial Artists swarmed in, encircling the area, they wouldn't be able to escape even with the money, so he immediately told Zhao Xiaoxiao!

Almost everyone's gaze turned towards Zhao Xiaoxiao. At this point, everyone thought it was time for Zhao Xiaoxiao to leave. However, Zhao Xiaoxiao had no intention of leaving. Instead, she looked towards the little girl from earlier and said to the gang leader, "You are not allowed to continue killing people; otherwise, I won't let you off!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao's words were indeed filled with pride and arrogance, even more so than the criminals themselves. Seeing how defiant Zhao Xiaoxiao was, the gang leader was instantly annoyed.

You say you're with Heavenly Gate, and I give you face by letting you leave, but you can't just dismantle my platform. I came here to rob a bank, after all. What kind of bank robbery is it if we don't kill a few people?

"Little girl, don't overdo it. If you do, don't blame me for not giving face to Heavenly Gate. Besides, I still don't even know if you're really with Heavenly Gate!" the gang leader said coldly.

At the same time, the gun that the gang leader had lowered was once again aimed at Zhao Xiaoxiao. To the other criminals, he said, "Get moving, and if anyone dares to resist, kill them."

The two criminals robbing the cash were indeed swift. They sprayed bullets at the safe, and as a result, the safe's lock was smashed. Another criminal with a gun approached the eleven or twelve-year-old girl, slowly aiming the gun at the criminal!

Ah?

"No, please, I beg you, if you need to kill someone, kill me!" the girl's father pleaded, shielding his daughter with his body, his voice breaking with sobs.

"Haha, alright, I'll definitely fulfill your wish!" After saying that, the criminal immediately pulled the trigger aiming at the man's back!

However, just a second before the bullets furiously flew, something unexpectedly hit the gun-wielding criminal. The criminal's wrist throbbed with pain, but, even so, several shots were fired, albeit mostly off the mark!

"Ah..." the criminal cried out in surprise due to the pain in his hand.

At that moment, the other criminals immediately turned to look at their companion.

"What happened?" the gang leader shouted in surprise at his accomplice!

"Damn it, someone ambushed me!" the injured criminal exclaimed in alarm!

The gang leader quickly aimed the submachine gun at the ceiling and burst forth with a barrage of gunfire!

"Daring to counterattack?" The gang leader roared angrily: "Do you all want to die? Who ambushed? Show yourself, or I'll kill you all!"

Suddenly, everyone was terrified, and some even cried out, "Whoever it is, please stand up. Don't drag us down, please, just come forward!"

"Not coming out, eh?" the leader of the thugs shouted loudly, "Prepare to shoot, spare no one here!"

Upon hearing the thug leader's words, everyone was shocked anew; it seemed they were facing a massacre!

"Do you dare, you must have a death wish!" Zhao Xiaoxiao cursed at the thug leader loudly.

"Ha ha, since we're here to rob the bank, it's good to be alive, but death isn't so frightening either, little girl. I told you to leave just now, but you didn't. Now, you can't leave even if you want to!" The leader of the thugs said with a cold voice.

Zhao Xiaoxiao was no fool. Hearing the thug leader's words, her face immediately lost its calm. When someone is indifferent to life and death, there's no point in invoking the Heavenly Gate, not to mention begging for divine intervention—it would be useless!

"You..." Zhao Xiaoxiao, though usually fearless, was at a loss for words this time!

However, at that moment, two nearly invisible black shadows 'swooshed' by, and suddenly two other thugs clutching guns had their hands struck, dropping their pistols to the ground uncontrollably as a result of their injuries!

Two screams emanated from the mouths of those thugs, causing even more panic among everyone, as nobody knew what was happening. The leader of the thugs was terrified because, up to that moment, he couldn't see what had just taken place, so he did something very unwise, but in his own mind absolutely safe. He grabbed Zhao Xiaoxiao and used his gun to press against her neck, and then pulled out a pistol with his other hand, aiming the barrel at her temple!

"Damn it, who's there? Who dares to sneak attack me? If you have the guts, show yourself!" The leader of the thugs wasn't a fool; he believed that there must be someone extraordinary inside the bank at that moment.

However, it was just then that a ringtone suddenly sounded!

"You are my little apple, how much I love you is never too much, the red red..."

The tense atmosphere was somehow diffused by the ringtone. Even the leader of the thugs became furious upon hearing it. This was a complete disregard for his presence, and in this situation, to play that song was nothing short of mocking him!

"Damn, whose phone is it?" The leader of the thugs was truly furious by now.

Then, a voice filled with laughter came from a distance.

"Is it really without compassion to treat such a beautiful damsel this way?"

Compassion?

When everyone heard this voice, they almost burst out laughing. Wasn't this a thug? Since when did thugs have compassion? Especially after they had just killed more than seven people!

But at that moment, everyone saw a young man slowly standing up at the edge of the crowd, with a smile that seemed to dismiss everything around him!

At this point, Zhao Xiaoxiao also saw the man's face, and surprise flashed across hers upon recognizing him.

The man was none other than Ye Xiao.

Seeing Ye Xiao's thin appearance, the leader of the thugs almost laughed, having expected someone more formidable. He hadn't thought it would just be a student-looking fellow.

Moreover, Ye Xiao seemed oblivious to the gun pointed at him; he smiled at the leader of the thugs and said, "Sorry, someone's calling me!"

Without waiting for the thug leader to respond, Ye Xiao answered the call, hearing a somewhat familiar voice.

"Hey, it's me, the handsome guy from earlier. You free tonight? Let me take you out for dinner!" Ye Xiao recognized the voice after just a few words; it was the same geek who had tried to seduce Ling Shuya earlier with his nerdy charms!

"You're trying to get me killed!" Ye Xiao immediately blocked the geek's number after speaking.

Seeing Ye Xiao blatantly ignoring him, the thug leader felt his pride deeply wounded and, in a fit of rage and without another word, raised his hand and pulled the trigger at Ye Xiao!

The gunshot came exceedingly fast, within just a second. Almost everyone at the scene closed their eyes, not wanting to witness the blood spatter.

Everyone thought Ye Xiao was certainly going to fall, but to their amazement, he didn't. Instead, he tilted his head, and the bullet whizzed right past his ear.

Dodged it?

The leader of the thugs was also startled. The speed of a bullet was incredibly fast; how could a normal person have dodged a bullet?

Before the thug leader could react, Ye Xiao dashed towards him. With his left hand, he held the number ticket taken earlier and slashed it across the thug leader's wrist. Blood sprayed forth like a fountain!

A plain piece of paper it was, yet in Ye Xiao's hands, it always transformed the mundane into the miraculous, turning the most fragile paper into the sharpest blade!
