ment as if she were a monster, and Li Ping actually told her that it was Xia Tian's doing because Xia Tian was an exceptionally skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.Turning around to look...Flower Guardian Expert in the Metropolis 188 Thunder Martial Arts Gym

Ye Mengying was already very busy, so she didn't try to keep Xia Tian. Xia Tian and Sun Xinxin left Haijiang Tower with Ding Ling and headed for Jianghai University, while Kong Ming and Lan Ze continued to prepare for the registration of their new company.

The moment they entered Jianghai University, Xia Tian noticed around forty or fifty people surrounding Xinxi Flower Shop. Two groups were facing each other in a standoff. One group consisted of Fatty and Ding Bao with several dozen followers, while the other was made up of over ten young men all wearing sleeveless vests, shorts, and sports shoes. Each of them had some eye-catching characters printed on their chests: Thunder Martial Arts Gym!

"Brother Tian is back."

Fatty and Ding Bao quickly approached and greeted Xia Tian.

“Boss! Bossess!”

“Brother Tian! Brotheress Tian!”

The other followers also bowed, shouting in unison: "Brother Tian! Brotheress Tian!"

This scene left a few people watching from afar somewhat dumbfounded. Were these two young men and women some big shots in the underworld Yet that woman wasn't the owner of the flower shop

"Fatty, what's going on" Sun Xinxin was puzzled: "Why are you all here too"

"Auntie, we heard that there's trouble at your flower shop, so we brought people over right away," the fat man explained.

"Do you know where these guys came from" Sun Xinxin asked again.

"Auntie, those fellows are all from a place called Thunder Martial Arts Gym. The guy leading them is also named Thunder; they say he's the gym master there. They didn't mention what they wanted, but for now they haven't done anything except say they want to see Big Brother," the fat man had basically figured out the situation, though the only thing he was unsure about was why these guys were looking for Xia Tian.

Xia Tian walked over: "You're here for me"

"You must be Xia Tian" It was indeed that youth standing at the front who spoke. This person wasn't tall, only around five feet seven inches or so, but his skin was very fair; it wasn't common to see a man as pale as this one. He stared intently at Xia Tian with a sharp gaze.

"That's right, who are you" Xia Tian had an unsatisfied look on his face and warned them, "I tell you now, don’t surround Sister Xinxin’s flower shop or I'll be unfriendly to you."

"My name is Thunder, Rainy is my younger brother," the pale youth said in a low voice.

“Oh, so that idiot is your brother” Xia Tian certainly remembered this name; how could he forget him when the fool dared to curse Sister Fairy

"That's right, Rainy is my younger brother." Thunder glared coldly at Xia Tian.

Xia Tian looked doubtful: "He really is your brother You're so pale and he’s so dark-skinned; if he really is your brother, one of you must have had some genetic mutation."

"Kid, how dare you speak to me like that"

"Damn it, is this guy asking for death"

"Brother Thunder, let me go teach this brat a lesson!"

...

The people behind Thunder wore expressions of righteous indignation. However, Thunder himself remained calm despite the rage on his face. He waved his hand and barked sternly, "All of you shut up!"

Thunder's roar made everyone fall silent immediately. Clearly, in Thunder Martial Hall, Thunder had absolute authority; no one dared to defy him.

"Summer, I've been here for half an hour. During this time, I could have destroyed your girlfriend’s flower shop, but I didn't. I’ve been waiting for you to return because I hope we can talk things out calmly and not escalate the situation." Thunder spoke slowly, "I sincerely hope that you understand my intentions."

"Master said sincerity isn’t worth much, so whether or not you’re sincere doesn’t matter to me," Summer responded indifferently. "You didn't destroy Sister Xin’s flower shop That's your luck because if you had, you wouldn’t be able to stand there and talk to me now."

A look of anger flashed across Thunder’s face; this person was too arrogant. However, for his brother's sake, he quickly suppressed it. His brother's condition was extremely severe—so much so that even the hospital couldn't help. Even drinking rice gruel caused him unbearable pain, and not to mention basic intravenous drips which made him suffer miserably. The only silver lining was that his brother could neither commit suicide nor self-harm severely because any slight injury would cause excruciating pain.

However, this situation perfectly corroborated Summer's claim—that death is preferable to life. Making someone wish they were dead isn’t the hardest part; the most challenging aspect is ensuring they cannot die and remain alive in such a state of suffering. And it was precisely this challenge that Summer had accomplished. Despite having little information about Summer at present, Thunder viewed him as an exceptionally formidable opponent and thus approached the situation with extreme caution.

"Summer, let's skip the beating around the bush. What conditions do you want for letting Rain off the hook" Thunder suppressed his anger and asked in as calm a tone as possible.

"Let that idiot Rain go Summer looked at Thunder with some surprise. "Is there something wrong with your head too Why would I let him go"

Everyone behind Thunder glared angrily at Summer; the bastard was being far too outrageous, but this time none of them dared to speak out or take action without Thunder's permission.

"Summer, Rain has offended you. I can bring him to apologize to you, but from what I know, he only said one wrong thing. You don't have to be so ruthless about it," Thunder gritted his teeth and said in a low voice; he was finding it very hard to hold back.

"I've already said that no one can insult Fairy Sister in this world. Anyone who does will end up worse off than death. Rain's fate won't change just because he dared to insult Fairy Sister. Even if you beg me, I won't budge. He'll have to live like this for the rest of his life," Summer said calmly.

"Summer, are you saying there's no room for negotiation" Thunder could no longer hide his anger in his tone.

"That's right. I've made my position clear enough. You can leave now; don't have so many people lingering around here and disrupting Sister Xin from selling flowers!" Summer waved his hand dismissively as if to shoo them away.

"Summer, are you really going to take this matter to such an extreme with no room for compromise" Thunder finally roared. "I've been very sincere in wanting to resolve this issue, but you seem utterly insincere. Do you seriously think I'm afraid of you"

Summer curled his lips disdainfully as he looked at Thunder: "Do you actually think I fear you"

"Right, how could Brother Sky be scared of punks like you

"Brother Sky, just give the word and we'll take care of these idiots right away!"

"How arrogant! Who does he think he is talking to Brother Sky like this Didn't he even bother to find out who Brother Sky is"

"What nonsense. A martial arts school, huh I heard martial arts schools are just scams, no different from regular gyms!"

Di Bao's men started stirring things up; some of them took out their weapons, getting ready to act. In terms of numbers, they were overwhelmingly dominant, and in terms of combat prowess, they believed that nobody could match Brother Sky. Thus, they felt utterly fearless and didn't take Thunder and his group seriously at all.

"Very well, Summer, since you don't want to talk, then I'll leave my words here: As long as your brother isn’t better in a day, neither will you have peace!" Thunder said coldly. "Your friends, women, and family will all suffer from the wrath of Thunder. Since you refuse to listen when I speak politely to you, I'll wait for you to come begging me."

"Damn it, this guy actually threatens Brother Sky! Doesn't he want to continue working here"

"I reckon this fellow has had enough of living! Brothers, should we chop him up"

"But Brother Sky hasn’t given the order yet!"

"Brother Sky, shall we cut down this bastard for you"

Even Ding Bao spoke up: "Brother Sky, do you want us to deal with these fellows"

The summer heat hadn't even spoken, but Thunder had already coldly commanded, "All of you, attack! Smash the flower shop and give them a taste of their own medicine!"

This group from Thunder Martial Arts Academy had long been at their wits' end. Now that Thunder gave the order, they immediately charged over like ravenous tigers.

But Ding Bao and his crew didn't hesitate either; they met them head-on, starting a chaotic brawl. With Ding Bao's side having numerical superiority—three to one—they should have had an advantage, yet the exact opposite happened: Ding Bao’s men were continuously falling after cries of agony.

In less than three minutes, half of Ding Bao's crew was down; only Ding Bao and Black Three, who were somewhat more capable fighters, remained standing. Yet, one minute later, they too fell to the ground, while Thunder Martial Arts Academy’s members remained unscathed. As for Thunder himself, he hadn't moved a finger throughout.

Poor Fat Man had intended to take advantage of the chaos and enjoy beating someone up but was floored without even getting a chance to fight back., each would cost around 20 thousand dollars. This price is too steep for most consumers," Ye Mengying smiled as she explained, "To enable ordinary customers to enjoy this magical product, we launched...
