Chapter - 7: Fighting the Ambushers, Part 1

"Hey, kid, what's a fancy sports car like yours doing out here?"

"At this time of night, a kid like you driving a sports car to this remote factory? I don't think you know whose territory you're in!"

"It's not often we get such a fine-looking fella around here. You're quite the catch, I must say."

"...''

The violent gang members had him surrounded, and their mocking laughter filled the air as they taunted him, clearly not taking him seriously in the slightest.

"Get lost, I have no time to deal with the likes of you," Adrian retorted with a cold voice, his frown deepening as he addressed the unruly gang.

"Oh man, looks like you have some temper," the young man with a red hat remarked as he jumped from his bike, holding a baseball bat in his right hand and slapping it against his left hand. He approached Adrian with a mocking laugh.

Adrian maintained his composure, meeting the young man's gaze with a steady one of his own. Despite the threatening gesture with the baseball bat, he stood his ground, showing no signs of intimidation.

Without waiting for a response, the youth swung the bat down towards Adrian with a swift motion.

"Oh oh oh..."

The surrounding thugs cheered loudly as they witnessed the attack, showing no intention of stopping it. They didn't believe Adrian could dodge the assault from the youth with red hat.

However their screaming shout came to an abrupt halt all of a sudden.

The violent onlookers fell silent as they witnessed Adrian catching the baseball bat tossed by the youth with the red hat with ease.

The youth with the red hat suddenly paled, his bravado fading as he realized the tables had turned.

"I thought I could teach you a lesson, but it seems I underestimated you," the youth with the red hat muttered, a hint of frustration in his voice.

The youth motioned to his gang members for assistance.

Then he grabbed the baseball bat, trying to wrench it from Adrian's grasp, but to his surprise, it wouldn't budge. Adrian held onto it firmly, his grip is unyielding.

Despite exerting 90% of his strength, the youth couldn't reclaim his baseball bat, leaving him incredulous.

"Hahaha, Tom, you look much stronger than him, and yet you still can't compete with the strength of this pretty boy."

"Tom, if you're sick, get treated. Don't embarrass yourself."

"Tom, you'll become a laughing stock at this rate."

"…"

The laughter of the onlookers intensified, making the youth look even worse. He tried to yank the baseball bat from Adrian's grip, but no matter how hard he pulled, it wouldn't budge. It seemed as though the bat was firmly rooted in Adrian's hands.

"Hey….."

The youth persisted in his efforts, but he couldn't retrieve the baseball bat. As the situation unfolded, the other violent individuals nearby began to sense that something was amiss.

"Hey kid, let go of it!"

"You've got some energy, but resisting won't do you any good, let go!"

"Daring to resist, huh? You've got some guts!"

"…"

Four of the violent individuals disembarked from their vehicles and began to approach Adrian, hurling insults as they closed in on him. Upon reaching his position, they wasted no time in confronting him.

As they prepared to attack, Adrian glanced at them and then swiftly grabbed the baseball bat from youth's hand. Caught off guard, the youth with red hat couldn't evade the maneuver.

When the youth with red hat charged forward, Adrian swiftly planted his right foot and sent the youth flying with a powerful kick.

"Puff.."

The youth with red hat was left sprawled on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth. He appeared to have been struck by a car, his body was bent into a shrimp like shape. After flying out five or six meters, it stopped. When he stopped, his body kept twitching and blood was kept coming out of his mouth. Looking carefully, you can clearly see some of the internal organs are spitting out.

"Shit, you dared to do it."

"Fuck, let's kill him"

"…"

The onlookers next to them were stunned by the scene, and they brandished the iron rod they held and started surrounding him, with attempting to restrain him.
