Meanwhile, a young man was about to take a seat in the canteen; he was holding a tray shakily with his hands, which were both full of scars.
âHey, who let you sit here? Yunfei hasnât gotten his fruit yet. Hurry up and get some fruit for him!â yelled a young man who was sitting alongside a few youngsters, who all put on cold expressions on their face. All of them looked arrogant and condescending; it was evident that they were making fun of the young man.
The young man named Yunfei was apparently sitting right in their midst. He was narrowing his eyes with his lips curled in mockery as he enjoyed the scene before his eyes.
âAlright, Iâm getting it now!â The young man bit his lips and stood up. Despite being humiliated pitilessly, he still took the fruit and placed it beside Yunfei.
However, right when he sat down, the young man who spoke earlier yelled again with a sneer, âD*mn it, what kind of rotten fruit is this that you got? Hurry up and change it for a smaller one instead!â
With that, the few young men sitting beside him couldnât help but cover their mouths and they were snickering while he spoke.
The young man could not hold it any longer. He slammed the table and yelled, âAre you done yet, Ma Feng? Why must I obey your orders despite all of us being on tryout for the Dragon Squad?â
âDid you just yell at me? How dare you bite back at us? It seems youâre far from having learned your lessons!â With that, Ma Feng grabbed the apple swiftly from the table and hurled it at the food tray which the young man was holding.
The food tray dropped with a clatter, spilling its contents all over the floor.
âYou!â The young man clenched his fists tightly while his veins stood out on his forehead, yet he forced himself to swallow his anger.
âThatâs going too far! Iâve heard that this lad worked very hard when he first joined the team. He even outdid Zhu Yunfei during an assessment. Thatâs why he ended up being bullied by Zhu Yunfeiâs men everyday like this. Look at the scars on his body!â
âHmm, it canât be helped. Thereâs no way he will remain unscathed after having fallen victim to Zhu Yunfeiâs bullying. I guess heâll be forced out of the Dragon Squadâs trainee crew pretty soon.â
âSpeaking of Zhu Yunfei, he does have a prominent background, doesnât he? Apart from being skilled, heâs got a strong backing too!â
âThatâs not surprising. Come to think of it, heâs a member of the Zhu Family and Sergeant Zhu Baoqing of the First Team is his uncle. Besides, Iâve heard that Director Longâs granddaughterâthe Miss Long who is said to be a stunnerâseems to be head over heels for him!â
âD*mn, so that explains why no one dared say anything about the lad getting bullied in such a manner!â
At that moment, everyone held their tongues while looking on at the scene of the young man getting bullied, whereas Zhu Yunfei ate his meal leisurely while keeping his eyes narrowed.
Ma Feng, however, wouldnât let the young man off. He walked toward the young man and sneered, âHaha, so what? Are you defying us now?â Following that, he trampled the spilled meal under his feet before grabbing a handful of the now-dirty rice and bringing it to the young man.
âBastard, since you are being so ungrateful and dared to outdo our boss, you wonât have any decent meals today. This is the meal youâll be having. Pick it up and eat it!â said Ma Feng viciously.
The young man flushed angrily at his words. Before he could respond though, he was smacked to the ground by another of Zhu Yunfeiâs minions with a thud. As he was lying face down on the floor, Ma Feng instantly grabbed his hair, lifted his head, and stuffed the dirty rice into his mouth.
âThis is simply abusive!â Everyone around them stood up, looking terrified, but none of them dared to voice out their disagreements.
Just then, a trembling voice called out from the entrance, âXiao⦠Xiaofei? Is that you?â
The voice belonged to none other than Chen Hao, who walked in on the scene when he entered the canteen with Master Ghost and Yun Haotian just now.
Yun Haotian was about to stop the scuffle between the team members when he distinctly felt a chilling air emanating from Chen Hao, which was so terrifying that the words got stuck in his throat.
Could it be that Mr. Chen knows the young man in person? he thought to himself.
Chen Haoâs eyes reddened at the sight of the young man that was being beaten up, who was none other than Bai Xiaofei, one of his closest buddies. He almost wouldnât have recognized Xiaofei, whose body was covered in scars, if it werenât for him witnessing the scene very clearly.
âHuh? Oh, itâs you, Sergeant Yun.â Upon seeing Yun Haotian coming, Ma Feng and the rest stopped their bullying since they had to show Yun Haotian some respect.
Bai Xiaofei, who was lying face down on the floor, trembled at once when he saw Chen Hao. âYoungâ¦
Young Master Chen?â
In an instant, his grievance and helplessness poured out in a flood of uncontrollable tears as he cried out, âYoung Master Chen!â
âGet up now, Xiaofei!â Chen Hao hurried toward Bai Xiaofei and helped him up.
In reality, he would have beheaded these few men on other occasions, but since Yun Haotian was here, he believed Yun Haotian would give justice to his buddy. Of course, he would never let go of these bullies lightly, regardless of whether justice had been served or not.
That was because Chen Hao had become a different person. Now, no matter the identity of the person he was facing or who was in the wrong, whoever bullied his buddy would have to pay a terrible price even if his buddy was the one being at fault.
Yun Haotian was also enraged when he realized the close relationship between Bai Xiaofei and Chen Hao. He immediately reprimanded Ma Feng and the others, but they werenât afraid of him at all.
âHaha, it isnât your turn to teach us lessons, Sergeant Yun. Have Sergeant Zhu here if you can, since we obey him and no one else. Besides, itâs none of your business to mind us disciplining our teammates from the First Teamâs trainee crew!â sneered Ma Feng.
They undoubtedly had Zhu Yunfei to back them up, and of course, it went without saying who was backing Zhu Yunfei up.
Their words instantly enraged Yun Haotian, who was so furious that he couldnât even speak.
Master Ghost quickly helped Bai Xiaofei up and attempted to help Bai Xiaofei sit down and get some rest.
However, Ma Feng immediately shot a glance at the crowd of his friends behind him, and one of them immediately took the seat on which Bai Xiaofei had wanted to sit, saying, âIâm sorry, this seat is taken!â
As soon as he spoke, the crowd burst into scornful laughter.
âYou bunch ofâ¦â Master Ghost was seeing red.
He then helped Bai Xiaofei to take a seat at the other side, but just when they were about to sit down, another young man took the seat before them and said, âIâm sorry, this seat is taken too!â
Chen Hao frowned at the scene. He glanced at Zhu Yunfei, who was sitting like a statute at one side while having his meal unfazed, and immediately realized Zhu Yunfeiâs deliberate intention.
âThis is unthinkable! I couldnât believe this is how the Dragon Squad baseâs trainees behave!â said Master Ghost angrily after helping Bai Xiaofei to some seats only to have them all taken by these men.
Having no other choice, he could only help Bai Xiaofei up while walking toward an empty seat near the entrance.
Upon seeing this, Ma Feng, who was resting his hands in his pockets, put on a thin smile. Then, he hurried toward both of them and grabbed the seat immediately. âIâm sorryâ¦â But before he could finish his sentence, a heavy blow landed directly on his face at breakneck speed, producing a loud slap that echoed across the room. âOw!â
The heavy blow sent Ma Feng flying sideways and knocking down a dozen tables in a row. Half of his face was smashed in from the impact, while all his teeth were knocked out and scattered over the floor;
it was obvious that the slap had disfigured his face!
The person who struck Ma Feng in the face was of course Chen Hao. Having one hand in his pocket while patting dust off his body with the other, he looked at the whole crowd of stupefied trainees and said, âIâm sorry, my hand was itching just now!â
