Suddenly, after Lin Hai finished his last sentence, his whole demeanor drastically changed.
The thugs felt a blur in front of their eyes. The guy who had seemed weak and useless was now standing far away, exuding an aura that was terrifying.
Lin Hai took a step forward, moving with an incredibly fast speed.
The foremost thug reflexively swung his cleaver.
With a clang, the cleaver flew out of his hands, and the thug followed, crashing into the wall violently, vomiting blood, and he collapsed limply, unconscious.
During this, seven or eight thugs were taken down by him, struggling to get up from the ground in disarray, their eyes filled with shock when they looked at Lin Hai.
"sh*t, kill him, we have more people, hack and slash randomly!" A thug, summoning courage from nowhere, waved his cleaver while shouting, attacking Lin Hai.
Hiding in the cubicle, the girl's eyes sparkled with immense surprise and worry for Lin Hai; the opponents numbered over twenty while there was only one of him.
With a thud, Lin Hai grabbed the first charging thug, twisting the cleaver in his hand like twisting a dough twist, forcibly crumpling it into a ball of scrap metal, casually tossing it to the ground.
The thug's mouth was agape, his eyes full of shock.
"sh*t, this, this this…" The thug was so scared that he peed himself, before he could react, Lin Hai flung him against a nearby mirror.
Instantly, the mirror shattered into pieces, and the glass shards covered the thug with a Pleasants Goat tattoo, his appearance bloody and horrific to look upon.
"Ahh..." The thug screamed, crawling on the floor like a blood-soaked figure, accidentally moving towards the cubicle where the girl was.
The girl screamed, stamping ferociously several times on the hand that reached into the cubicle from below.
Suddenly, the miserable thug gasped in pain and fainted, overwhelmed with agony.
With a snap, Lin Hai punched another thug.
The thug tried to block with his cleaver, but the punch pierced through the cleaver directly.
The thug, with disbelief in his eyes, was thrown backward, spitting blood profusely, collapsing on the ground as if he had received an electric shock, convulsing violently a few times before lying still.
A muscular thug, clearly an experienced fighter with tattoos all over his arms, sneered as he suddenly appeared behind Lin Hai, landing a heavy punch on the back of Lin Hai's head, even letting out a victorious laugh.
Quickly, the grin on the thug's face froze.
Lin Hai was completely unharmed, and casually hooked another reckless guy directly onto the ceiling, creating banging sounds.
The muscular thug felt as if his last hard punch hit an iron lump.
How could a person's body be so tough?
Before the slow-witted thug could ponder, he saw Lin Hai slowly turning around, staring straight at him without a sideway glance.
Caught by Lin Hai's gaze, the thug felt a chill rising up his spine.
Lin Hai backhanded a slap, the thug's face instantly bore a deep red handprint, his whole body sent flying by the tremendous force of the slap.
With a loud crash, the thug hit the sink, the force collapsing it, water gushing into his mouth, nose, and ears. The thug's neck slanted, he fell unconscious, still profoundly shocked in his last conscious moment.
On the ground, only five intact thugs were left.
From the moment Lin Hai burst into action to now, a total of ten seconds had passed.
Ten seconds to take down fifteen thugs.
The remaining five thugs stared, their expressions filled with exaggerated surprise, deep wariness, and the fear emanating from within.
"You—you, you are a monster, not human." One thug completely collapsed in terror, speaking wildly.
Lin Hai cracked a naive smile, but his hands showed no mercy.
He seized a thug's arms, crossed them and, snap!
"Ah!" The thug screamed like a slaughtered pig as the bones in his arms were dislocated and broke, probably needing a quiet hospital stay for a good two or three years as a beautiful thug.
The last three thugs just stared blankly at the scene before them.
On the ground lay a scattered group of previously arrogant peers, now like dead dogs. Some had passed out, while others moaned in pain.
By this moment, all the thugs could no longer underestimate Lin Hai.
"Big brother, please let us go!"
With a thud, one of the still intact underlings knelt directly on the ground.
Under Lin Hai's oppressive gaze, the psychological defenses of the other two completely crumbled, their knees weakened, and they too knelt down, their voices filled with begging, "Big brother, please, we didn't recognize Mount Tai, let us go."
"Big brother, I was wrong, I really was, please don't kill me."
The three thugs' eyes were filled with fear, continuously kowtowing, fearful that Lin Hai in a moment of anger, would annihilate them.
Lin Hai couldn't be bothered to waste words on these three.
Normally seeing weak and innocent people, they would bully and humiliate at will, but once they encountered someone stronger, they were more cowardly than cowards, like a soft egg, manipulatable in any manner.
He had nothing but contempt for such people, swaggering around normally, but in their bones, not a trace of true grit.
In an instant, the three thugs who were still desperately kowtowing felt a pain in their necks, their vision blurring, collapsing to the ground in terror, passing out.
The dust settled, and the twenty or so arrogant thugs were now completely incapacitated.
In contrast, the entire men's bathroom was a complete mess, with four or five cubicles collapsed, the sinks utterly destroyed, tile and stone debris clattering to the floor, and three or four men hanging from the shattered wooden ceiling above, their fate unknown, a scene like after a great battle.
Only then did the girl, in the only intact cubicle, hearing the silence outside, cautiously moved the door slightly ajar. Her cute, large eyes filled with fear and concern as she peeked out.
When she saw the situation outside, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, her cute little mouth wide enough to fit a large carrot, her little face written all over with shock.
Her gaze shifted and the girl saw, amidst the crowd of bodies strewn haphazardly on the ground, only one person standing, wearing a security uniform, but exuding a palpitation-inducing strength and unmatched stability, slowly rolling down his sleeves.
The girl swore, it was the first time she thought a man's presence could be so charming and attractive, filled with a strong sense of security and mature stability, like a harbor in one's heart.
She knew, it was the man she had misunderstood earlier, who alone, turned the tide and completely rescued her.
Suddenly, Lin Hai's silhouette slowly turned, the girl held her breath, feeling her heartbeat accelerate continuously, until Lin Hai completely turned around. In that moment, as the girl gazed at his face, which seemed ordinary yet now utterly charming and enchanting to her, she completely forgot to breathe, her heart racing to the extreme.
