Chapter 47: The Winner Takes All
Those people’s faces turned dark. They had intended to toy with Xia Chenge for amusement, but who knew Xia Chenge would end up toying with them instead!
“Xia Chenge, consider yourself lucky this time. Let’s go.” How could they possibly do such a thing? They immediately pretended nothing had happened and tried to leave.
Xia Chenge reached out and blocked their path, turning her head slightly. “What, trying to renege on your word?”
“Don’t push your luck!” one of them said angrily. “We don’t want to argue with a waste like you. Get out of the way.”
“No one has ever provoked me and then been able to walk away unscathed,” Xia Chenge said mockingly. “Do you want to try?”
“Who do you think you are, daring to shout here? Believe it or not, I can make you get kicked out of Yan Sheng High School with just one phone call, or even make your entire Xia family disappear from Haicheng!”
“Stop wasting your breath on her. Let’s go. Does a waste think she can reach the heavens?”
“Let’s go, let’s go. This waste is lucky this time, so we’ll let her off the hook. We’ll just pity her for having parents but no upbringing.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Chenge’s eyes turned cold, and her tone instantly became like ice that had never melted: “Did I say you could leave? People must take responsibility for their words and actions!”
Those people clearly weren’t going to honor their word, bullying Xia Chenge:
“What, you want to teach us a lesson? When did we say we were betting with you? What right do you have to bet with us? Did anyone hear us say we were betting with a waste?”
“Exactly. We were just passing the time with you, and you should consider it an honor, you know?”
“A good dog doesn’t block the road. Hurry up and get lost.”
…
Bang!
Xia Chenge didn’t even blink. She casually picked up a nearby stool and smashed it down hard.
That solid wood stool was smashed into a pile of broken wood by Xia Chenge.
Everyone was thoroughly startled, and the principal’s office became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
“You can try to see if the stool is harder, or if your heads are harder,” Xia Chenge said nonchalantly, her eyes revealing a deep killing intent.
These people were all pampered young masters. They had never seen such a terrifying gaze before! They all looked at Xia Chenge in fear.
“Who wants to try first? If you don’t fulfill your bet today, then none of you will leave this principal’s office!” Xia Chenge’s gaze was sharp.
Seeing the state of the stool, no one dared to make a sound.
Xia Chenge smiled sinisterly: “So, does the bet still stand?”
“It, it stands!” a voice as faint as a mosquito’s hum sounded weakly.
“Then one by one!” Xia Chenge said with imposing momentum.
The boys who had been so aggressive moments ago were now like quails, heads bowed, not daring to resist Xia Chenge.
“What’s all the excitement about? Did this Young Master miss something?” Just then, the crowd outside the principal’s office automatically parted, and Ling Hanmu walked in with his arms crossed, looking nonchalant.
Seeing this, the people who had made the bet were so scared their legs went weak.
“It’s nothing much, just some people who made a bet with me and are now refusing to honor it,” Xia Chenge said lightly.
“Who dares to refuse to honor it? Step forward and let this Young Master see if they have grown three heads and six arms?” Ling Hanmu arrogantly swept his gaze over everyone. “This Young Master didn’t know there were such capable people in Haicheng who dare to disregard this Young Master’s words.”
As soon as he said this, two or three boys turned pale, their foreheads covered in sweat, and they collapsed to the ground. With Ling Hanmu involved, a small matter had become a big one…
Ling Hanmu looked over. “So it’s you few cowards who want to challenge this Young Master’s authority, right? This Young Master is very reasonable. I’ll give you a chance to challenge this Young Master. If you win, everything will be forgotten.”
“If you lose, you’ll be even more miserable than you are now! Of course, refusing this chance I’m giving you will make things even worse. You know, when this Young Master says something, it’s final!”
“I’m sorry, Young Master Ling. We were wrong. We were just joking with Xia Chenge and had no intention of challenging you, Young Master Ling. Please see clearly.”
“We simply felt Xia Chenge was too incredible and wanted her to prove herself. We absolutely had no other intentions; we admire her too much.”
“Young Master Ling, please just let us go like we’re a fart. We beg you. We’ll leave Yan Sheng High School immediately and promise not to be an eyesore to you.”
Those few boys were precisely the three who had made Xia Chenge kowtow and admit defeat, broadcast themselves eating feces, and run naked.
Now, in front of Ling Hanmu, they were like dogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy, completely lacking the arrogance they had when bullying Xia Chenge.
“Little Brother, how do you want to deal with these farts?” Ling Hanmu looked at Xia Chenge.
“As I said earlier, those who should kowtow and call me Grandma their mistake should admit their mistake, those who should broadcast themselves eating feces should do so, and those who should run naked should do so. They don’t need to do anything extra,” Xia Chenge said calmly, her eyes no longer holding the killing intent from before.
“Miss Xia Chenge, I was wrong. I was blind and didn’t recognize your importance. Please forgive me this once. I, I will kowtow to you.”
“Please spare us this once. You, you can beat us up, but can you not do those things?”
“As long as you spare me, I will be at your beck and call from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. You are my boss.”
Those three boys actually knelt and crawled to Xia Chenge’s feet, begging desperately.
Xia Chenge indifferently stepped back, maintaining her distance. “When you falsely accused me of cheating, did you consider the consequences? It’s a pity that not everyone in the world is your mother, and not everyone will indulge you.”
“My motto is: I don’t offend others unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will never forgive them.”
“So,” Xia Chenge bent down to meet one of their eyes, narrowing them slightly, “the winner is king. Begging is useless.”
Her words were extremely harsh for the students of Yan Sheng High School.
No one dared to believe that these words came from a second-year high school girl. To them, she looked like a warrior who had experienced countless battles, capable of such awe-inspiring presence.
Clap, clap, clap!
Applause suddenly rang out.
Xia Chenge looked over and saw that it was Young Master Ling, who seemed to be afraid the world wouldn’t be chaotic enough.
Everyone else kept shrinking themselves, not daring to breathe.
“Little Brother said it so clearly, and you still want to renege? Believe it or not, I’ll make your families disappear from Country A immediately?” Seeing that those people were not moving, Ling Hanmu immediately became fierce and menacing, no longer the image of a suave young man.
Those who had bet with Xia Chenge wished they could die!
Kneeling and calling her Grandma to apologize? Running naked? Broadcasting themselves eating feces? Which of these wouldn’t make them lose all face?
They regretted it immensely. If they could go back in time, they would never have bothered Xia Chenge!
Unfortunately, Young Master Ling wouldn’t give them a chance to regret it.
Because even if Ling Hanmu’s father came here, he wouldn’t be able to stop Ling Hanmu.
At this moment, Yan Sheng High School was in turmoil, shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of tension and suffocation.
And from this moment on, Xia Chenge began her life’s counterattack!
