Chapter 20 : Taught Heart

The wrestler yelled at every table until he approached the VIP table and when he heard someone shouting provocatively, the drunken owner of the name started to stand up, looking very flamboyant. They drink and spit for a while until both sides say nothing, it is easier to talk directly with the fists.

The boys swarmed together to dissuade them but they were all pushed away and bounced in different directions, Tian sat back with his chin in his hand and watched the chaos below, the past hadn't really made him self-conscious, he'd just changed the way he took his revenge to something more subtle.

But when the brother's friends joined in, things got more and more complicated, they grabbed a bottle from a neighbouring table and smashed it so hard that the cheapskate's mouth cracked open, the crowd screamed in panic and the band playing on stage stopped and ran.

Slender eyes widened, "Oh no!"

Tian pushed his way through the overflowing crowd to the bottom of the stairs, the smell of blood and cries of pain made him panic, he rushed in to separate the two fighting parties but as he was knocked out of the circle by an elbow, it's as if the net came to life.

Someone has to stop these guys... The police!

But how can they be called in time now? The young student bent down to dodge the flying glass, then crawls to the low stage to find shelter, he fumbled with his sweaty hands, his little brain works quickly, his slender hands reach for his mobile phone in his trouser pocket and with trembling fingers he presses a program into it.

Luckily, he had once like to download the odd ringtone editor and put it on his phone, presses the word "Siren", the siren sounds but not loud enough for them to hear, Tian looks around until he saw the microphone dropped on the side of the stage, immediately rushed to grab it and approaches the speaker of the phone and the siren rang in the club.

Someone shouts, the police are here! Everything seems to stop, then there are curses, another riot ensues, not wanting to be taken to jail, they rush from fighting to running for their lives, each side of the fight leaves in a different direction with their injured friends in chaos.

Tian looked at the mess and since he was the one who started it, he felt creeped out. There was hope that the shop would send out a bill for the millions charged to the VIP table but then he was shocked when someone's hand grabbed his collar from behind.

Tull grinned callously with a number of bruises on his face.

"I know it's a trick of yours, let's go outside and settle the score!" He quickly relied on greater strength to drag the man struggling to escape capture outside the bar.

The son of the illegal gambling tycoon threw Tian into his Hummer, then slammed the door and locked it to prevent the man from escaping, before turning to attack the perpetrator.

"I thought you'd chicken out, didn't want to see those mouthy bastards, didn't realise you'd ruined a perfect fight even more than you already had! I don't think it's a big deal."

Tian raised his hands in acknowledgement of his mistake.

Tull was angry but didn't know what else to do, he saw two real police patrol cars approaching and rushed to push the button to start the car.

"I'll take you home later."

"What about my car?"

"Call someone to come and get it later, your dad's here." Tull said as he jerked the gearshift and accelerated away from the scene as fast as he could.

Tian looked at his friend's lip, which had split open to the point of blood and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go to the hospital first?"

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, he was suddenly reprimanded back.

"It's because of you, you bastard!"

"Uh, I was wrong, please scold me until you're satisfied. Tian slammed his back into the cushion a bit annoyed but suddenly, Tull burst out laughing in a delirious way.

"What the fuck are you!" said Tian, turning around.

"I'm just in a good mood, I saw your love of silence and thought you were going to become a monk, I didn't realise you were so fucking bad."

"Are you scaring me?"

"Just commending you for being smart, anyway, did you go to the camp in the mountains to develop your brain?"

The question silenced the ex-general's son, how disappointed would the man be if he knew he'd caused trouble again?

The smooth, beautiful face looks out of the window full of street shops, looking very up to date, not unlike Phabandao without electricity.

"Tull, I won't see them again, if the restaurant sends a bill for the damage, I'll take care of it all." Silence permeates the car, so much so that others can feel it, Tull stopped talking, nodding
