The Divine Urban Physician - Chapter 40
After 10 seconds, Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang noticed the seven or eight men coming from the end of the street. Their faces turned pale as soon as they saw the men and began to close up the stall frantically.
“Kiddo, I’ll pack the rest of the food for you. Just leave right now! Leave!” Aunt Zhang ran toward him and said with a hushed tone.
Ye Chen remained unmoved. “Why should we leave?”
“Kiddo, you’re still young. Maybe you still don’t understand certain rules, but it’s not going to end well if you don’t leave soon… I’m begging you… Alright?”
Aunt Zhang’s voice started to tremble.
Ye Chen was about the reply when a loud noise rang beside his ear!

He turned his head quickly to see men who were wearing black singlets were already at the food stall. The bald guy leading the group who had a gold chain around his neck had even flipped the table beside Ye Chen over, scattering everything on it to the floor!
He had made a mess of the place.
“Yo, Old Wang, not bad. It seems that there are still customers brave enough to come over.” The bald guy found a stool and sat down. He glanced over at the notice on the wall detailing the change of location for the stall. “Yo, today’s the last day huh? Changing locations tomorrow? Why are you changing to an old street? You sure you can earn enough money with the meager amount of people passing through there?”
Uncle Wang’s expression darkened as he shot a glance at the bald guy. Then, he smiled apologetically, “Master Hu, um… You’re a gentleman, please I beg you, don’t bother my small business anymore.”
After he spoke, Uncle Wang took all the money out from the cabinet and handed it over to the bald guy carefully with a smile. “Master Hu, this is all my income I’ve gotten these few days. I respectfully give them all to you… You see…”
Slap!
The bald guy, Master Hu, swept his eyes across the money and gave Uncle Wang a big slap on his face.
“What the f*ck am I supposed to do with this money? I’ve told you guys to prepare fifty thousand as your protection fees. Is that really so hard? Did you really think moving will save you from me? Keep on dreaming! Do you want to bet if I’ll smash the windows of your new place tomorrow? You won’t be able to open your stall at this rate!”
When he heard that, Uncle Wang’s face turned white instantly! He had thought that changing the location of his stall would prevent such fiasco as the one before his eyes to happen again in the future! It turned out that these bloodsuckers had latched onto them.
They were merely running a small business. It was impossible for them to rack up such money!
Aunt Zhang was so scared she was trembling from head to toe. As a woman, she felt that it was completely useless for her to stand up against these people.
They were threatening them with their lives!
Master Hu looked at the money on the ground and spat on it. He ordered, “I’ll be back this time tomorrow. I expect to see fifty grand and your business can revert back to its booming stage. If not, I promise I’ll find every new stall that you open and mess that place up!”
When he was done, Master Hu waved a hand in the air and outside.
Before he could take another step, a cold voice came from behind him. “Did I say you can go?”
Master Hu stopped in his tracks and his body tightened up. He turned around to see Ye Chen who was in the midst of eating his barbecue skewers.
He forced a laugh, turned, and sat right in front of Ye Chen. He said, “Kid, were you talking to me?”
Ye Chen used his chopsticks to pick up some vegetables and proceeded to savor it. After a few seconds, he looked over to Master Hu and said, “If I wasn’t talking to you, was I talking to a dog instead?”
His words stunned not only the henchmen, but Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang were so freaked out that their faces turned white!
This kid had a lot of balls to say these things!
Was he that oblivious to the danger of the situation?
Master Hu was the boss of this district. He had ten or more henchmen under him. Did he know how many had to go about their day according to his means? They were about to leave them alone already when he spurted out the insult that Master Hu was a dog!
This kid might very well be retarded.
He had dared to mess around in Master Hu’s presence.
He was going to die for sure.
Aunt Zhang was about to persuade Ye Chen to stop but was stopped by Uncle Wang instead.
“What can you, a woman, can do about it? Let this kid clean up the mess he made. Don’t try to fix something you can’t. He has offended Master Hu. There’s nothing we can do now. Can’t you see how many people here witnessed this?”
Aunt Zhang kept her silence after she saw those seven or eight hooligans who were staring intently at the scene before them.
It did not matter what they had to say anymore. They were merely ordinary people. How could they go up against these irrational people?
At that moment, Master Hu’s expression was not looking well. At any rate, he was the leader of this district and never had anyone disrespect him that way, especially not in front of his face!
This young guy was looking for trouble!
“Kid, I don’t care where you’re from but stand up and get on your knees. Bow ten times for me or I’ll break your arm!” Master Hu warned him.
He had graduated from River City’s Martial Art School so no one had dared to go up against him when it came to fighting.
Ye Chen took a sip from his drink under the lovely sky as if he had not heard what was said to him at all.
Master Hu was enraged! All these years, nobody had ever disrespected him in this way before!
“M*therf*cker…” Master Hu swung his palm toward Ye Chen’s cheek. He wanted to slap the sense out of him!
Just when his palm almost touched Ye Chen’s cheek, Ye Chen moved and slammed his palm on the table. Then, a pair of chopsticks flicked up into the air!
He held the chopsticks tightly in his right hand and turned instantly! The chopsticks pierced through Master Hu’s palm at once!
They penetrated through his palm!
Blood burst out of the wound right away!
Without waiting for Master Hu’s reaction, Ye Chen pressed his elbow and a sound was heard.
“Ding!”
He had nailed Master Hu’s hand on the table with the chopsticks mercilessly!
“Ah!”
Master Hu shouted in pain!
He fumbled to free his hand, but the chopsticks had nailed it down so tightly that it would have hurt a lot more if he were to just pulled his palm out like that.
“Son of b*tch!” Master Hu’s other hand was pulled into a fist and heading straight toward Ye Chen!
Ye Chen snorted coldly without any attempt to duck but had received the punch with his fist!
Crack! Both fists collided! Master Hu’s other arm was punched out of shape instantly! His bones were broken!
Master Hu was in so much pain that the veins on his neck popped. His eyes turned bloodshot!
He was about to scream from pain when Ye Chen gently lifted his hand to shut him up! He packed a fierce blow onto his face!
Bam!
Master Hu’s face was slammed directly onto the table. The whole thing had happened so effortlessly. It was as if Ye Chen was demonstrating an artistic performance.
“I don’t like loud noises.” Ye Chen’s voice sounded very cold.
When he heard him speak, Master Hu was so stunned that his entire body shook.
It was at this moment that he realized he had landed himself in hot water.
‘A practicing martial artist!’
‘He must be a practicing martial artist!’
From the way he attacked, he could tell that Ye Chen’s strength had far surpassed his. The problem was he had no chance of fighting back!
Ye Chen’s way of fighting back had stunned the whole crowd.
Although they did not know much about martial arts, they could tell Ye Chen was not someone to mess with by his fighting skills.
Master Hu who still had his cheek flat on the table noticed that no one was defending him. He bellowed, “What are you waiting for? Come and kill this b*tch!”
It was then the hooligans snapped awake as they ran up to him with empty beer bottles in their hands. A sudden voice said coldly, “Anyone who dares to take a step, dies.”
Ye Chen said it with a matter of fact tone. It sounded devoid of any emotion.
When the hooligans heard what he said, all of them did not dare to move a muscle and was frozen in their steps! His voice was like some sort of magic!
They knew that death would befall on them should they took another step forward!
That guy really did have the balls to kill!
