You've Got a Problem, Kid!

The Manhattan streets weren't too cold. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Following Liu Ren, A Chao's face was already grim. Even with a revolver, Liu Ren was still too reckless—after all, this was across the ocean; who went out without a gun? What's more, there were a full seven of them. If anyone came to their senses, things would get serious. But would Liu Ren give them a chance to react? Of course not! From his days as a delivery courier, he understood one thing: time could be compressed, and things could be done back-to-back. Any trouble that could cause problems with his delivery had to be eliminated. Liu Ren: "Mess with my delivery? I'll open with a Ren Wang three-hit combo!" Entering the bar Madam Xiang had provided, the inside was already bustling. Looking at the four or five men sitting not far away, Liu Ren frowned. The headcount didn't match! And the bar was too crowded—not suitable for taking action. A bit troublesome! "Let's go, A Ren!" Grabbing Liu Ren's arm, A Chao issued a serious warning. But hearing this, Liu Ren shook his head. "Brother Chao, we came all this way. If we turn around and leave now, I'd look down on myself! We're sons of Nan Yue—hot-blooded, and we know honor and shame!" Hearing this suddenly, A Chao couldn't help but say, "Puni Amu, you little brat are going to get me killed!" That said, A Chao had no choice but to stay. Sitting in a corner, the two ordered a drink and waited like that. After about half an hour, the few men were finally stinking drunk, and immediately helped each other toward the exit. Watching this, Liu Ren's yellow-brown eyes, originally hidden under the brim of his hat, gradually brightened. He wasn't someone who liked killing, because he preferred simple solutions to problems. But now, no solution was as effective as the axe in his hand. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth—that was the madness engraved in his bones. "Let's go!" Placing a cup over the payment for the drinks, Liu Ren stood up and immediately headed out of the bar. Following behind Liu Ren, A Chao immediately quickened his pace to catch up. Just as those few ahead were crossing the alley, A Chao hurriedly said, "You wait here, I'll go get people to help!" "Huh?" Looking at A Chao doubtfully, Liu Ren stared at him blankly, as if saying, do you want to hear what you're saying? "Wait, you're not planning to go up alone, are you? If guns go off here...... it......" Just as A Chao was about to stop Liu Ren from solving the problem with a gun, he saw him draw an axe from behind his waist. Looking at the half-arm-long axe, A Chao instantly widened his eyes. "No, where did you pull that from? Isn't it a bayonet?" "Going out to run errands, a bayonet is basic; this is the life-saving thing!" Holding the axe in one hand, Liu Ren turned and rushed into the alley. Shocked at Liu Ren's actions, A Chao couldn't help but curse: "Pou gai zai, who the hell does things like this!" Cursing as he might, A Chao quickly drew his dagger and rushed up too. "Urgh!" Leaning against the wall, vomiting, one man groaned in pain. Laughing at his companion, those around jeered: "John, your tolerance is just terrible!" "Yeah, just like a woman!" Mocking voices rang out, the men full of ridicule. But at that moment, a figure emerged from the darkness, walking straight toward them. "Wat?" Looking confused at the alley entrance, the drunk man immediately turned his head. "Hey, buddy, you......" But before the man could finish, Liu Ren, swinging his axe, rushed over and hacked him down with a backhand blow. "Squelch!" The cold axe blade hacked into his neck, and instantly blood gushed like a spring. As the hot blood spattered onto cheeks and walls, the few who had been drunk as lords instantly came to their senses, shouting and yelling in panic, preparing to draw their guns. But after one strike, Liu Ren instantly kicked the man beside him in the belly and brought the axe down on his head. Seeing Liu Ren had felled two men in an instant, the others finally roared and drew their guns. "Crack!" The axe handle shattered a man's Adam's apple, and he immediately clutched his throat in pain, kneeling on both knees. Pushing him aside with one hand, Liu Ren came before the last two men. But one man, now scared out of his wits, lay on the ground with his legs gone soft, constantly scrambling backward. "Damn it, damn it, fast, fast!" Drawing his gun in terror, the other man raised it, preparing to aim at him. But before he could switch off the safety, he saw the axe flash with cold light under the moonlight as it came down. "Squelch!" The heavy axe struck his shoulder, instantly rending flesh and breaking bone. "Ah!" Howling in pain, the man immediately dropped his gun. Liu Ren spoke as if from the depths of his soul: "So you can feel pain too!" Liu Ren pressed down on the axe with his left hand, applying constant force. "Crack!" Kneeling in pain, the man despairingly lifted his head. "No, please, no........" Liu Ren said, "When you begged for mercy, did you ever think the girl you wanted to violate pleaded with you the same way? But you didn't spare her, and even beat her badly for refusing, bastards!" Pressing on the axe with one hand, Liu Ren leaned forward, his yellow-brown eyes staring deeply into the man's eyes. "May God forgive your soul........of course, you certainly won't see God, after all, beheaded folk can't get into heaven!" Pulling out the axe, Liu Ren swung backhanded before the man's despairing eyes. But just as the head hit the ground rolling like a watermelon, the remaining man had already been scared shitless. And just as he broke down and raised his hands, Liu Ren stepped forward. "Two more guys? Where......" Swallowing his saliva, the man stammered, "At the apartment, at the apartment, I know, I know where they are!" "Say it, because God will forgive you......." Looking calmly at the man, Liu Ren looked like a devout believer tempting him. "They're at......." But just as the man finished giving the address, A Chao, who had just rushed in, was completely stunned, because the scene before him in this alley was simply too cruel, like a slaughterhouse. But looking at Liu Ren with a relaxed face, A Chao couldn't help swallowing his saliva, because everyone seemed to misunderstand something—this kid was absolutely a fucking ruthless bastard! Stammering out the address, the man fearfully shed tears. "I........" "Whoosh!" Right hand raised high, Liu Ren slashed forward backhanded, the action extremely clean and efficient. Disbelieving, the man collapsed to the ground, seemingly doubting—hadn't he been let go? "Idiot, I don't believe in God!" Saying this, Liu Ren turned, casually brushing back his hair with a relaxed look. "Brother Chao, help!" "Urgh!" Watching Liu Ren so nonchalant, A Chao finally couldn't hold it, leaning against the wall and vomiting. "Brother Chao? Is your tolerance that bad? You only had one drink, right?" Doubting A Chao, Liu Ren blinked his eyes. "You little brat, you've got a problem, damn it, you've got a problem!" Watching Liu Ren remain completely calm in the face of all this, A Chao couldn't help but scold him. Blinking, Liu Ren rubbed his head in confusion, because what was the problem with this? Working a few years as a hand at a slaughterhouse wouldn't make your heart colder than a knife? Besides, when he was knocked flying back then, it felt more exciting than this! Liu Ren: "Don't ask; ask and the answer is the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—anyone who tries it knows!"
