Vol. 1 - Ch. 30 - Fighting is child's play

"What the hell are you doing!"

Upon seeing his beloved motorcycle kicked to the ground by HuMing, one of the thugs immediately couldn't help but rush forward, wanting to teach HuMing a lesson.

But before he could reach HuMing, he got punched in the face and kicked to the ground.

HuMing took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, a gift from the children, and said,

"Honestly, I'm not good at fighting because I think it is befitting for only kids to do so."

HuMing kicked away the person at his feet and slowly made his way towards the group.

"Every debt has its debtor; go find the one who owes you money. But laying hands on two elderly, that's something I can't overlook."

Several people quickly dashed over, ignoring HuMing's words. HuMing had overstepped his boundaries. However, they had also overstepped HuMing's.

With just a glimmer of light in the desolate expanse, only three silhouettes remained.

KangXin's face was expressionless, and she stared blankly at the scene before her, watching the boy who had everyone under his feet. She suddenly realized she might not have understood HuMing.

Not only her but the tattooed man who had previously looked down on him now looked at HuMing in a different light. The tiger tattoo on the man's arm stood out as his powerful muscles flexed.

"Who are you?"

"There's no need for you to know. Just remember, if you cause trouble for these people again, I'll personally come after you."

"Though you're quite skilled, but watch what you say. Are you not afraid to bite your tongue?"

"Only those without ability are concerned about the consequences. You are no match for me in terms of strength and even less so in terms of lineage. Tell me, why should I be afraid of you?"

Upon hearing HuMing's words, the man's face grew noticeably pale.

He threw a packed blow aimed at HuMing's face, only to have his attack swiftly evaded. HuMing seized the opportunity and forcefully slammed the man's face to the ground.

Everything happened in a second. When the man reacted, a steel pen pressed against his neck.

The cold steel pen pressed against his vessel as if to freeze his blood beneath his skin.

And most importantly, the moonlight behind the boy appeared incredibly intense. His lifeless eyes stared at himself as if they were looking at something dead.

For a moment, he felt a chill run down his back, his pupils constricting sharply, and his breathing becoming heavy. He didn't understand at first why he wasn't a match for this boy, but looking into those eyes made him realize.

The boy had indeed considered killing him.

If the pen had pierced a little deeper, he would likely meet his great-grandmother tomorrow.

"Old folks can't stand bloodshed. Killing you here would be too frightening."

The boy's deep voice rang in his ears. Only then did the man gradually return to his senses.

He suddenly realized his limbs were numb and unable to exert any strength. If given another chance, he would choose to leave here immediately.

"Go find the one who owes you money. Don't disturb the elderly here, understand?"

"U-Understood."

After receiving the desired response, HuMing finally stood up from the man. It made no sense to rush back to the Han family now that it was getting dark.

HuMing turned to KangXin and said,

"Take the director and his wife to the hospital for a check-up. I'll wait here for you to come back."

"Yes, Young Master."

KangXin did not ask any further questions. She only needed to follow Young Master's orders.

She reached out to help the two elderly. Facing their worries and guilt, she calmly comforted them.

Regarding the follow-up, KangXin felt great relief for the first time in leaving this matter to Young Master to resolve.

......

Fortunately, the two were fine and returned to the orphanage that night.

As HuMing was leaving, the two elders grabbed his hand, feeling guilty as they said,

"Ah Ming. We've troubled you again. How did we end up with such an animal of a child?"

The elderly director's tone was agitated, and his wife stood beside him, equally upset, supporting his body.

HuMing sighed lightly; then, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Director, it's alright. In fact, if there's trouble at the orphanage in the future, just call me to handle it."

"We two old bones can still manage for some time."

It was clear that neither of them wanted to trouble HuMing further.

HuMing did not press further. He asked KangXin to look into things and let him know if anything happened.

A multitude of stars illuminated the night sky.

The car silently traveled along the quiet road. Its occupants maintained a solemn hush.

HuMing took out his phone and scrolled through the news to pass the time while KangXin sat upright beside him, seemingly unmoved by recent events.

The driver in the front seat glanced at the two in the back and finally couldn't resist breaking the quietness.

"Young Master, I've already informed the Old Master about your situation. He knows you'll be returning late."

It was his first time witnessing such a thrilling event.

The man couldn't help but feel the excitement, particularly after witnessing everything HuMing had recently experienced.

Unspoken but undeniable, a sense of admiration for Young Master had already taken root within him.

On his first day at work, the mansion's servants had described Young Master as arrogant and lacking empathy. Initially skeptical because he understood his duty was to serve HuMing, not anyone else.

Now, witnessing this, it's those people who clearly didn't understand Young Master at all!

HuMing raised an eyebrow, a faint smile crawling on his lips.

"You've been troubled. But I suppose it didn't help much, did it?"

"It didn't?"

The driver couldn't understand why Hu Ming would say so, but neither HuMing nor KangXin seemed willing to elaborate, so he wisely remained mute.

The car appeared to speed up deliberately on the road, and despite the streetlights, the road ahead remained devoid of light.

......

When HuMing got home, KangXin opened the car door to let him out. Before leaving, HuMing asked the name of the driver who would be serving him in the future.

"LanJun. I'll call you brother Jun then."

Before LanJun could react, HuMing had exited the car and pushed open the mansion's gates.

Just as he entered, a woman's displeased voice echoed from the hall.

"Tell me, school ends at five o'clock, and it's almost eight. Is HuMing unaware that our family is waiting for him to eat? Does he have no concept of time?"

Hu Ming walked assertively into the hall with his hands in his pockets, only to see Madam Han frowning, clearly disgruntled.

"That's enough, stop complaining! This dinner is to bring our family together harmoniously. What's the point of your complaints?"

Mr. Han's face was expressionless, but he was uncomfortable with Madam Han's earlier statements.

"Can't I say a few words? ShuYi knew tonight's dinner was for HuMing and deliberately came early to wait here. But where is HuMing? Must be off somewhere goofing around!"

The more Madam Han thought about HuMing, the less she liked him. An adoptive child truly couldn't compare to her own!

"Madam Han, seeing you so concerned really touches me. I'm truly honored."

HuMing's voice immediately grabbed everyone's attention. He calmly approached them, wearing a smile on his face.
