Chapter 1277: The Most Miserable Hou Jingtian
Seeing Xiang Yu completely ignoring him, Zheng Feixiong was infuriated and marched over to grab Xiang Yu's shirt, ready to throw a punch.
"Oh my, isn't this a small world? Isn't that Zheng the big boss?" Xiang Yu feigned a look of shock and said.
Xiang Yu's words made those around wear expressions of disbelief, knowing full well Xiang Yu had already seen Zheng Feixiong earlier.
"Xiang Yu, you're courting death." Zheng Feixiong exclaimed, clenching his fist to strike.
Tie Zhuzi and Xiaoxuan had no intention of intervening; they had faith in Xiang Yu. If Zheng Feixiong wanted to embarrass himself, they weren't stopping him.
"Third Brother, Third Brother, we're all brothers here, no need for violence." Hou Jingtian quickly came up and pulled Zheng Feixiong aside.
"Who's brothers with him? Today I'm going to finish him off." Zheng Feixiong shouted.
Truth be told, Zheng Feixiong didn't want to act here, but he couldn't stand Xiang Yu's pretentious appearance.
Xiang Yu merely chuckled lightly, then turned away to the shopkeeper: "Give me a box of toothpaste."
The shopkeeper could understand Xiang Yu, yet he stood there watching Zheng Feixiong without moving.
"Hmph, without my command, let's see who dares to sell you anything." Zheng Feixiong boasted.
Xiang Yu tossed money on the counter, picked up the toothpaste, and left.
Zheng Feixiong wanted to stir trouble but was held back by Hou Jingtian.
"Xiang Yu, mark my words. If you can't handle this in two weeks, I'll bring you down." Zheng Feixiong yelled from behind.
Xiang Yu was unfazed as he walked on, treating Zheng Feixiong's words as nonsense.
Hou Jingtian watched Xiang Yu leave, assuming Xiang Yu was frightened, and hurriedly chased after him.
"You three better leave here, this place isn't suitable for you." Hou Jingtian sighed.
After all, they'd flown together in the same plane, it was fate. More importantly, Xiang Yu was Su Yongzhen's brother; Hou Jingtian didn't want trouble for Xiang Yu here.
"Worried about us, huh?" Xiang Yu turned to Hou Jingtian.
"Nah, who'd worry about you. It'd be better if you died." Hou Jingtian said, moving onward.
Xiang Yu and his friends weren't offended; they just wandered around casually. After checking out the street, they had a simple understanding of it.
"Fifth, lead us to Kerun Street for a look." Xiang Yu called from behind.
Hou Jingtian changed his face color, clutching his stomach: "Oh no, bad stomach from breakfast, gotta rush to the bathroom."
Tie Zhuzi grabbed his collar, chuckled, "Just let it out in your pants."
"I really can't hold it." Hou Jingtian grimaced.
"Just deal with it here." Tie Zhuzi said, going to pull down Hou Jingtian's pants.
Hou Jingtian, seeing the big guy had no shame, quickly replied, "I've suddenly recovered, don't feel like going."
Hou Jingtian finished and walked straight ahead. Feeling a bit uneasy, he turned to Xiang Yu, "You seriously plan to go to Kerun Street now?"
Xiang Yu nodded, indicating him to lead the way.
Hou Jingtian looked at Xiang Yu, then Tie Zhuzi; now he regretted coming out with them.
"Let me tell you this, if you cause any trouble there, I'm not helping you." Hou Jingtian warned.
Xiang Yu merely smiled silently.
Now, being taken by Xiang Yu and his friends, Hou Jingtian had no choice but to gather courage and head forward.
"Just so you know, there's a boss on Kerun Street called Tank. He's got a lot of manpower, big strong guys. Driving them out is impossible, plus they're violent. We've had major fights with them before and failed." Hou Jingtian sighed.
"That only proves one thing." Tie Zhuzi smirked.
"What thing?" Hou Jingtian asked seriously.
"Proves you're idiots." Tie Zhuzi burst into laughter.
Hou Jingtian offered no retort to Tie Zhuzi; he still feared the gang on Kerun Street.
Kerun Street wasn't far; a half-hour walk. It was much more bustling than their street.
"Walk around here all you want, but don't stir up trouble, or I can't help you." Hou Jingtian said seriously.
As soon as he finished, Xiang Yu touched a woman's rear, making her scream and run away.
Hou Jingtian knew Xiang Yu's group hadn't listened, shaking his head helplessly.
While the four wandered, Tie Zhuzi suddenly pointed to a wide storefront: "What's this place for?"
Hou Jingtian pretended he didn't hear, pointing ahead: "There's a fun spot there, let's go."
Tie Zhuzi pulled his collar, demanding, "I'm asking you, what's this place?"
Seeing no escape, Hou Jingtian replied: "It's a casino, not much fun. Let's go ahead."
Tie Zhuzi released him and excitedly faced Xiang Yu: "Brother Yu, let's go in and have fun."
Xiang Yu nodded and led the way inside. To control the street meant familiarizing with chaotic places.
Seeing them enter, Hou Jingtian hesitated before gritting his teeth and following.
After all, Xiang Yu was Su Yongzhen's brother, and he brought them over; he had to ensure their safety.
Inside, Tie Zhuzi shouted boldly: "This place is huge; a nightclub here would be great."
Xiang Yu nodded: "Zhuzi, you've got economic sense."
Their conversation drew gazes; noticing four Eastern men, people clicked their tongues, resuming their 'business.'
"Not much fun here, let's go." Hou Jingtian urged Xiang Yu.
"Seems fun to me." Xiang Yu grinned and went to the gambling table.
"Zhuzi, get some chips here." Xiang Yu called.
Faced with Xiang Yu's wealthy demeanor, the gamblers made room for him.
"Should we bet big or small?" Xiang Yu asked Hou Jingtian.
Hou Jingtian, watching surroundings worriedly, responded indifferently: "Do as you please."
Tie Zhuzi approached with chips, laying them before Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu decisively placed a stack on the table. Onlookers appeared surprised, then grinned.
Hou Jingtian surveyed the area and saw Xiang Yu's chips, face darkening: "Why wager so much..."
