Sometimes, life was just so f * cked up. You were sitting under a tree in a daze, not provoking anyone, but someone would throw a few dirty dishes in front of you, forcing you to choose between being a free dishwasher with no dignity or being beaten black and blue all over!
F * ck! One-eyed Dragon's words were the best. For some people, if you refused their insults, it would seem like you were insulting them. Since that was the case, I might as well fulfill your wishes and insult you to your heart's content. Are you going to bite my ass again?
When Zhang Tie walked out of the school gate, he coincidentally met the one-eyed man who had just walked out of the school. At this moment, Zhang Tie couldn't pretend that he had seen nothing. Additionally, it seemed that the two of them had a long way to go.
"Captain Kerlin, are you going to the Fighting Club?" Zhang Tie greeted the one-eyed man. It was not a secret that the one-eyed man was a part-time coach in the Iron-Thorns Fighting Club.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, Captain Kerlin had a much better impression of Zhang Tie after knowing Zhang Tie's tough performance in the fighting club yesterday. He felt that this brat was really manly, which made Captain Kerlin appreciate him a bit. He felt that he had a good taste. "Yes, I'm going to the fighting club. I heard that you're doing another part-time job outside, in a grocery store, right?"
Captain Kerlin didn't know that Zhang Tie was the "brave guy", nor was he interested in it. For Captain Kerlin, everyone should be responsible for their own choices. Since the "brave guy" dared to screw Glaze's group so miserably, he must have the courage to face it alone. Captain Kerlin was not anyone's babysitter.
Knowing the one-eyed man's temperament, Zhang Tie didn't even mention what had happened at noon. Instead, he chatted with Captain Kerlin.
"Yes, this job was recommended by my family. I've been working here for a long time!"
"How about working in the grocery store?"
"The boss is very good. I can learn a lot from him..."
Just like that, the two of them chatted casually on the road and slowly walked away...
After the two of them had walked far away, Glaze's group walked out from the shadow of a tree beside the school gate with a gloomy face. Glaring at Zhang Tie and Captain Kerlin's backs, they gritted their teeth in hatred.
"What should we do? I've never imagined that this brat would be so close to the one-eyed man. It seems that they have a special relationship!" Sharon said with a gloomy face. What had happened at noon was just that Glaze was unhappy about being interrupted by Zhang Tie in Miss Daina's class that day. Additionally, he had heard that Zhang Tie had been in the limelight during the past two days, so he wanted to suppress Zhang Tie. For Glaze, at the final stage of his life, there could only be one star in the Seventh National Male Middle School, and that star could only be himself. Nobody else could compete with him for the limelight. In their eyes, it was not a big deal to bully an unlucky guy. However, none of them had imagined that Zhang Tie would have the courage to refuse them at noon. Due to their carelessness, all of them had experienced the darkest day of their lives.
Hearing Sharon's words, everybody frowned. The fresh whip marks on their backs started to sting as if they were smeared with salt, reminding them of the humiliation and blow they had suffered.
"If we want to deal with this brat, Captain Kerlin will definitely show up. What happened at noon might have been caused by this brat because he had Captain Kerlin's support. If we want to deal with this brat in the future, we can't deal with him as easily as we deal with others!" Garner said with some resentment.
"As long as we leave the school, as long as Captain Kerlin can't find any evidence against us, we will have plenty of ways to deal with this brat. Humph... humph..." Zuhair sneered.
"What's your plan?" Sharon asked Zuhair.
Zuhair looked around. When they saw Zuhair's posture, they knew that what Zuhair was going to say must be a bit scary and he didn't want others to know. Therefore, they went behind the tree and put their heads together. Then, Zuhair told them what he was thinking.
"If we do this, the result will be out of our control!" Zuhair stared at Glaze. Among the four of them, he was responsible for making the decision, while Glaze was the one who made the final decision.
"Isn't … isn't this a bit too much? I just want to find a chance to fiercely beat him several times. After all, we're … we're … classmates … He might die!" Garner stammered. Obviously, he was startled by Zuhair's insidious plan.
"What, Garner, are you going to quit?" Sharon stared at Garner with a gloomy look. "Have the wounds on your back recovered so quickly?"
"Garner, you're still so naive. In this age, how much is the word 'classmate' worth?" Zuhair also ridiculed.
"I … I … I mean …" Before Garner finished his words, his neck had already been tightly gripped by Glaze. At this moment, the huge difference between a LV 2 fighter like Glaze and a common student was revealed. Garner's two feet were lifted off the ground by Glaze's hand. His face turned red as he slowly revealed a painful and struggling expression.
"What else do you want to say?" Glaze asked with a grim smile. Feeling that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to breathe, Garner desperately shook his head twice. Glaze then loosened his grip, causing Garner to fall from the air and kneel on the ground, coughing violently.
"Let's do as you say. Let that brat be proud for a couple of days. When the survival training arrives, I will give him an unforgettable lesson …" Glaze's face revealed a chilling, cruel expression. After that, the other three people all smiled, either sincerely or reluctantly.
In the worst case, a black-haired brat, an irrelevant guy and a small figure would die. It was not a big deal. In this age, people would die in Blackhot City every day.
Usually, Zhang Tie liked to call the guys at school animals, because he felt that all the guys in the male middle school were like rutting calves at their age. However, he had never imagined that there were some real animals among them.
… …
When Zhang Tie arrived at the grocery store, he found Donder was busy dealing with three customers at the same time. At the sight of Zhang Tie, this free guy, Donder let out a sigh obviously...
"Show these two customers our 'powerful rat poison' …" Donder said something that only Zhang Tie could understand.
Several minutes later, the three guests left with what they needed. Donder was counting the gold coins in his hand with a big smile.
Zhang Tie didn't know why, but after the news about the Red-scarf Burglars spread out in Blackhot City, the number of magistrates and patrolling soldiers near the railway station had increased. Strangely, Donder's grocery store also became better. The number of customers increased by at least 20% compared to before, and the sales of miscellaneous items, even some of the items that weren't exposed to the public, increased greatly. The most popular one was the "powerful rat poison" mentioned by Donder. Before the Catastrophe, it was said that powerful rat poison was the raw material of one of the most terrifying weapons that humans had mastered before the Catastrophe. Before the Catastrophe, even staying in the same room or nearby with such a raw material would be life-threatening, not to mention touching or eating it. Teachers said that this stuff was called "radioactive material" before the Catastrophe. After the Catastrophe and the mysterious particles of the Star of God, this "radioactive material" lost its radioactive energy, causing some of its basic properties to change. As a result, it could no longer be used to make the most terrifying weapons. However, its highly toxic properties were preserved. Before the Catastrophe, people had to refine it through very complicated means. However, after the crazy geological movement after the Catastrophe, people found that the content of some natural minerals emerging from the ground on the continent was very high. This kind of natural highly toxic mineral was called "Devil's Stone", which was terrifyingly toxic after being ground into fine powder. In the history of Blackson Human Clan Corridor, this "rat poison" had been used by evil cults to kill or injure nearly ten thousand people. Therefore, according to the official regulations of Blackhot City, this stuff was a special item that needed to be controlled. However, in fact, for many adventurers, pioneers, and those fighting professionals who were striving to expand the living space of humans in the wild, this stuff was a sharp weapon to deal with low-level magical beasts and monsters. Sometimes, as long as a bit of this stuff was put into the stomach of a simple food bait, it could kill several magical beasts. If it was simply treated and smeared onto weapons with poison, it could also greatly increase the power of common weapons. Therefore, the trade of this stuff could not be completely forbidden. Although it was forbidden among the commoners, the officials of Blackhot City just turned a blind eye to it, because they could not control it at all.
"Rat poison" was a gray code word that people gave this stuff to allow it to be exposed moderately. In the grocery store near the railway station of Blackhot City, there was naturally no lack of "rat poison". Donder's grocery store had both real rat poison and this kind of rat poison. In fact, even those terrifying mutated giant rats outside the city could easily put this kind of rat poison into it, not to mention the rats at home. This kind of rat poison was colorless and odorless. Unless one used special means or was above LV 10 and had very sharp senses and spiritual insight, ordinary people and magical beasts could not discover it at all. This was the terrifying part of this powerful rat poison.
