Scoundrel, a complete scoundrel!

At this moment, Ma Chao felt that Ye Xiao was even more shameless than those society types, utterly shameless. Obviously, if Ye Xiao's so-called losses weren't compensated, poor Brother Xiong would suffer terribly.

Did Ye Xiao really have such capabilities? Ma Chao had doubted this before, but after Wu Shengchang was hospitalized, Ma Chao believed that Ye Xiao must indeed have such capabilities. Moreover, he was extremely shocked when he saw the extent of Brother Xiong's injuries—after all, normally no one could mangle Brother Xiong's hand and arm to that extent.

Ma Chao looked at his brothers, wondering if they would look down on him if he immediately agreed to Ye Xiao's demand. After all, he hadn't even thrown a punch yet.

However, Ye Xiao was quite clever, and what was most commendable was that he was meticulous in his approach, thinking and doing what others couldn't.

"You must be in a tough spot, wondering how not to lose face in front of your brothers, right? No worries, let's have a fight. If you lose, you compensate us with the battery. If you win, I'll treat Brother Xiong's man's injuries. How about that? Two birds with one stone."

When Ma Chao heard Ye Xiao's proposal, he thought it wasn't a bad idea. But then, he remembered that Ye Xiao had hospitalized Wu Shengchang with just one kick...

"I'll compensate!" Ma Chao stood up and said, "When do you want it?"

"Bring it to me before seven o'clock tomorrow morning," Ye Xiao said cheerfully.

"Isn't that too rushed?" Ma Chao frowned.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "If you feel that's too rushed, I'll just go beat up Brother Xiong."

"Can you not be such a scoundrel!" Ma Chao slammed his palm on the table, startling Zheng Lingshan beside Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao glanced at Zheng Lingshan, then turned to Ma Chao.

At that moment, Ma Chao's lackeys, seeing his agitation, quickly crowded around, seemingly ready to start a fight.

But then, Ye Xiao said, "Fine, not seven o'clock."

Listening to Ye Xiao, Ma Chao sighed internally, feeling he still had some leverage.

"Six fifty." However, Ye Xiao's next words almost made Ma Chao spit blood. It was even earlier than seven o'clock.

Ye Xiao stood up, looked at the people around Ma Chao, smirked, and said, "Those who want to end up like Brother Xiong, step forward. Those who don't, step back. Anyone who stands still is considered willing to be the second Brother Xiong."

Ye Xiao's words truly carried an intimidating effect. After he spoke, half of Ma Chao's group stepped back. These were the same people who had come with Brother Xiong and knew Ye Xiao's methods, so they were the most fearful of Ye Xiao at that moment.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Ma Chao, and said, "See how many men haven't stepped back. I'll spare them today. You don't have to thank me. Tomorrow at six fifty, I want to see a functioning electric bike. Otherwise, I'll inflict all the pain that these people should have suffered onto Brother Xiong."

Ma Chao, infuriated by Ye Xiao's words, purple-faced but helpless, couldn't fight and didn't dare offend Sixth Master Wu, who highly valued Ye Xiao. What else could he do?

Ma Chao glared at Ye Xiao, then turned to the others and said, "Let's go!"

Hearing Ma Chao's words, the lackeys at the scene were stunned. What did this mean? No fight? And what was with six fifty? Why did it seem like Brother Chao was kind of afraid of this guy?

"Brother Chao, we're just leaving?" One lackey couldn't believe it and looked at Ma Chao in confusion. Ma Chao was known for never being at a disadvantage, but today, it seemed like Brother Chao hadn't gained the upper hand.

Hearing his lackey's words, Ma Chao grew even angrier, glared at the lackey, and said, "Hmph, why stay? To make a fool of ourselves?"

After Ma Chao spoke, he immediately left the street stall, with none of the spectators remaining. However, the lackeys from Hong Company seemed a bit dazed; but since their boss had left, they dared not linger.

Seeing these people about to leave, Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "The bike! The bike!"

Ma Chao stopped, turned to his men, and said, "Push the electric bike."

Though they didn't understand Brother Chao's intentions, since he had given the order, the lackeys naturally obeyed.

Meanwhile, Zheng Lingshan stood beside Ye Xiao, clearly stunned. She had thought there would be a fight, but this time, without so much as a whisper, the leader just walked away. Moreover, he had agreed to compensate with a battery, and importantly, the battery had to be new.

Ye Xiao's recent performance really seemed somewhat comical to Zheng Lingshan. Ye Xiao had acted like a petulant child, yet Ma Chao actually fell for Ye Xiao's antics.

"Looking at what?" Ye Xiao suddenly turned to Zheng Lingshan, who was curiously staring at him.

Caught by Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan, slightly embarrassed but unwilling to appear weak in front of Ye Xiao, forced herself to say, "Looking at how handsome you are. That works, right?"

"Heh heh, I actually think so too," Ye Xiao chuckled.

Zheng Lingshan said, "I should be going, I'll come to push the cart tomorrow."

"Get a car," Ye Xiao said.

Shaking her head, Zheng Lingshan responded, "No need, I'll just walk back. The fare is more expensive at night."

"You should still get a car, otherwise I won't be at ease," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan blushed but didn't argue this time and said, "Alright then."

After that, Ye Xiao found her a taxi and watched as Zheng Lingshan got into the car and left, also instructing her to come around seven the next morning to ride the cart.

After Zheng Lingshan left, suddenly, only Ye Xiao was left.

Oh no, that is, there were also the couple who ran the food stall and a few workers!

At that moment, the food stall had no more customers inside, clearly scared off when Ma Chao had come and roared.

"This brother, you are also a man of society too, my apologies!" The food stall owner said with a smile as he came over to greet Ye Xiao, someone who could call Wu Shengchang by name and yet be let go by someone like Ma Chao was clearly no ordinary person, and given that Ye Xiao ate nearby this place not just once, it showed that he must live around here. The shrewd food stall owner knew that fostering a good relationship with someone like Ye Xiao would be beneficial.

How could Ye Xiao not see the food stall owner's intention? He responded cheerfully, "I apologize for affecting your business. However, I believe it won't happen again in the future."

"No problem, I think you, little brother, have a great sense of justice," the food stall owner flattered.

Ye Xiao was indifferent to such words and smiled, "I've eaten my fill and feel a bit sleepy, going back to sleep now."

"Rest early!"

Ye Xiao then left, clearly intending to walk away.

However, just as he reached the corner, a dark figure appeared incredibly swiftly about five meters in front of him.

This person was extremely fast, so fast that even Ye Xiao was surprised, and he immediately stood still when this shadow appeared.

"Little guy, you're becoming more and more arrogant."

Ye Xiao had anticipated many possible opening remarks, but he truly did not expect such an introduction from this person.

Listening to the voice, which was very unfamiliar to him, he was confident he had never heard it before and therefore couldn't possibly recognize the person before him. But hearing just the voice, it seemed to belong to an old man.

"May I ask who you are, elder, and why you have stopped me!" Ye Xiao replied very politely, not taking any chances.

"Me? Heh, I'm just a regular person, someone with no conflicts of interest with you, but I just heard your conversation and felt you were a bit arrogant, so I really felt like teaching you a lesson," said the man with a chuckle, as if having a heart-to-heart conversation with Ye Xiao.

Hearing what the man in front of him said, Ye Xiao nearly had the impulse to vomit blood; this guy was too pretentious, even more so than himself, and listening to those words, it seemed he could beat him up at any time.

Ye Xiao gave a light smile and said, "The elder suggests I'm arrogant, but perhaps the elder's words are even more so. I would indeed like to see some of your brilliant moves."

"Ha ha, excellent, having such thoughts is wonderful," the man said, as if he had heard an amusing joke in response to Ye Xiao's remark.

At this moment, Ye Xiao also felt very puzzled; who was this person in front of him? Was he merely a boastful person or was there some other intentions behind seeking him out, just to teach him a lesson?

For some reason, in front of this man, Ye Xiao couldn't maintain his composure and immediately charged at the man with a leap.

The man was wearing ordinary clothes but had a mask on his face, which prevented Ye Xiao from seeing his features distinctly.

Like a swift arrow, Ye Xiao 'swooshed' quickly to the front of the masked old man and fiercely pounded his fist towards him.

This punch did not carry Ye Xiao's full strength, but even without his full force, Ye Xiao knew that it was not something ordinary people could withstand due to its extreme speed, and until now, no one had been able to dodge it.

But...

Puff!

Ye Xiao's fist fiercely struck the air, a complete miss.

Ye Xiao was greatly shocked and although the masked old man appeared very dangerous as he barely dodged Ye Xiao's punch, Ye Xiao wasn't foolish; from this slight contact, he realized that he was facing a true expert!
