Seeing this, Amu directly grabbed her hand and pulled it away, then fished out about 30,000 Federation Coins from her pocket.
“Give it back to me!”
Catherine was about to rush over, but was weakly held back by Hai Lan.
Hai Lan said weakly,
“Don’t go.”
“Mother, that’s our money.”
Catherine said, her eyes reddening.
“That money, I think it’s stolen.”
Amu said viciously.
“That’s nonsense!
It was kindly given to us by a big brother.”
Catherine was about to argue with Amu when Hai Lan, feeble and weak, stopped her and said,
“Gentlemen, we don’t want the money anymore.
Can you let us go?”
“Go, I suspect you have more stolen money on you.
Let me search you!”
Amu reached out towards Hai Lan.
At that moment, Catherine bravely stood in front of her mother.
Seeing Catherine’s refusal to comply, Amu directly grabbed her collar and yanked her up.
“Little girl, you’ve got some nerve.”
“Let me go.”
Catherine struggled fiercely, but it was useless.
However, just then, a hand suddenly grabbed Amu’s collar from behind and yanked him up too.
Dazed, Amu let go of Catherine and turned to look.
It was Su Ming, who had appeared behind him unnoticed, pulling him up.
“Are you idiots?
What are you waiting for?”
Amu immediately exploded with rage and shouted at his four henchmen.
At that moment, the four henchmen finally reacted, swinging their fists towards Su Ming.
Then Ankaga dropped a sack by his side and rushed forward quickly, landing a left hook on one of the thugs’ faces, instantly twisting his nose, and causing a burst of blood.
Next, he spun around and kicked another thug, sending him flying.
Su Ming pulled Amu into the other two henchmen.
The two henchmen instinctively caught Amu, and Su Ming immediately rushed up, delivering a flying kick to Amu’s body.
Amu, along with the two henchmen holding him, heavily fell to the ground.
Catherine watched the scene, her eyes filled with admiration.
In the blink of an eye, the bad guys had been taken down.
Su Ming also looked at Ankaga with surprise, not expecting his shy classmate to be so skilled, clearly having been trained in military combat.
“All clear!”
Ankaga said to Su Ming with a grin.
“It’s probably not that simple.
The real trouble is just starting.”
Su Ming placed his hands in his pockets and looked coldly towards the entrance of the alley.
Ankaga followed his gaze only to see a young man with a cigarette in his mouth and a scar on his left face, walking arrogantly into the alley.
Behind this man were more than a dozen strong men wearing mechanical knuckle gloves.
Seeing these people enter, Amu immediately got up from the ground and fearfully complained.
“Lord Zhan Wei, I don’t know where these two kids came from, daring to spoil our good deed.”
“Trash.”
Zhan Wei cursed, casting a hostile look at Su Ming and Ankaga.
Su Ming observed Zhan Wei and his men, astutely noting that this guy was wearing a beam gun.
Plus, all these men behind him were skilled, not just ordinary thugs.
“Boy, being a hero isn’t easy.
Since you’ve messed up our plan, you’re going to pay the price!”
Zhan Wei cracked his neck and threatened fiercely.
Before Su Ming could speak, Ankaga stepped forward and boldly replied,
“We are students of Imperial Court Academy.
Dare you?”
At Ankaga’s words, the expressions on Zhan Wei and his men’s faces slightly changed.
The Imperial Court Academy was not something they could afford to mess with.
Not to mention anything else, just on Black Flame Star, among the stationed troops, at least one in ten high officials is a graduate from Imperial Court Academy.
Even if these officials did not know these two boys personally, considering the alumni connection, there’s a high probability they would intervene.
However, letting go and giving up was very hard for Zhan Wei and his men, so their gazes grew fierce.
“Scared now?” Ankaga said cheerfully as he saw Zhan Wei and the others stop.
Su Ming quickly pulled Ankaga back and cautioned him.
“Be careful!”
Ankaga was slightly startled and asked, confused,
“Do they dare make a move on us?”
“Normally they wouldn’t dare, but if the stakes are high enough, they might take the risk to kill and silence us.”
Su Ming sharply sensed the murderous intent of the young man leading the group; these people had the intention to kill, but they hadn’t made up their minds yet.
Indeed, the saying “even a mighty dragon can’t crush a local snake” made sense—these people were ruthless and bold enough.
Just as Zhan Wei and his men menacingly closed in,
suddenly, a voice came from behind.
“This is the place!”
Zhan Wei and his men were slightly shocked and turned to look back.
They saw Mink leading a group of Black Flame Star Patrol Guards rushing over.
Seeing Mink arriving with reinforcements, Su Ming showed a hint of a smile—the timing was perfect.
Before taking action, he had sent a message to Mink, who had earlier taken a different route.
“What are you doing?”
The guards came forward and sternly asked.
“Nothing, it’s all a misunderstanding!”
Zhan Wei immediately responded with a forced smile, knowing that silencing them now was impossible.
Mink hurriedly ran to Su Ming and asked,
“Are you guys alright?”
“We’re fine, can we go now?”
Su Ming asked Zhan Wei.
“Of course, you can go, this road isn’t owned by my family.
You have legs, so leave if you want,” Zhan Wei said coldly to Su Ming and the others.
Su Ming turned to Hai Lan and her daughter and said,
“Come with me.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Hai Lan agreed without hesitation, well aware that their only chance of survival was to follow Su Ming, as these men wouldn’t let them go.
Seeing Su Ming intending to take Hai Lan and her daughter, Zhan Wei’s face darkened, and his lackeys seemed ready to act.
However, the guards at the scene warned,
“What are you trying to do?”
“Nothing.”
Zhan Wei smiled and responded.
Su Ming glanced at Zhan Wei and then led his group away.
“Don’t cause any trouble.”
The guards warned Zhan Wei again before turning and leaving.
Soon, only Zhan Wei and his men were left in the alley.
One of his men asked anxiously,
“Boss, what do we do now?
We haven’t got our hands on the goods yet.”
“What can we do?
We follow them and see where they take the people!
Damn it, meddling with something that the boss had his eye on, they really have a death wish!”
Zhan Wei spat on the ground and cursed fiercely.
On the other hand, as Su Ming and his group reached the crowded main street, he said to Mink,
“Thanks for the help.”
“What are you saying?
We’re brothers—could I really not help?”
Mink chided Su Ming.
“Alright, let’s go our separate ways then.
See you around!”
Su Ming smiled and bid farewell to Mink.
“Sure, call me if you need anything.”
Mink then bid farewell to Su Ming and walked toward the rail train.
