Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 1828 - 1829: Tie Zhuzi Befriends Eck

"Wait, wait, let’s talk this out, no need to get physical." Xia Cheng quickly said when he saw things were getting serious.

Now he had figured out the situation here. It’s impossible for him to become a leader and he can only start from the bottom.

Xia Cheng was aware of his own skills and knew he was no match for the guy in front of him, so he might as well compromise instead of making a fool of himself.

"What, scared?" the muscular man in front laughed heartily.

"Why is this guy such a coward?"

"Don’t you know? I heard he was a regiment commander over in Little Ba."

"Is this how a regiment commander behaves?"

The people around started discussing. It was obvious they were all looking down on Xia Cheng.

Hearing this made Xia Cheng furious, but he had no choice, he was not a match for the person in front of him.

"If you don’t dare, then crawl through here," the muscular man said, pointing down between his legs.

The people around burst into laughter, some even started cursing.

"Crawl through, you ****."

Xia Cheng was a man, and he couldn’t stand this. Gritting his teeth, he swung a punch at the muscular man.

The muscular man snorted disdainfully and punched back.

Their fists collided, Xia Cheng yelled and squatted down, clearly unable to bear the pain.

"Great, let’s go again." The muscular man laughed and moved forward, trying to grab Xia Cheng.

"Zhuzi, go." Xiang Yu said calmly.

Tie Zhuzi, already fired up, took two steps forward and lifted Xia Cheng up.

"Don’t embarrass me here, damn it." Tie Zhuzi shoved Xia Cheng to the side, then looked at the muscular man and said, "I also came from Little Ba, I’m Xia Cheng’s uncle."

Xia Cheng was so angry he almost spat out blood, but he couldn’t do anything, so he stayed by Xiang Yu’s side without speaking.

The people around, seeing Xia Cheng not saying anything, believed Tie Zhuzi’s words were true.

The muscular man, seeing Tie Zhuzi’s build, nodded and said, "No wonder Xia Cheng became a regiment commander, turns out he has a good uncle."

"That’s right, that wimp Xia Cheng relies entirely on me," Tie Zhuzi said without any modesty.

The muscular man cupped his fists and said, "Here, we respect strength. Whether you are Xia Cheng’s uncle or not, as long as you are skilled, you will earn respect. My name is Eck."

"Tie Zhuzi." Tie Zhuzi cupped his fists and said, "In that case, let me test your skills."

"Alright, let’s have a good fight today," Eck replied with a hearty laugh, then got ready.

The people around quieted down, watching Eck and Tie Zhuzi, both with large builds, about to fight, which promised to be visually striking.

Eck launched the first attack, kicking at Tie Zhuzi.

Tie Zhuzi didn’t dodge and kicked back. Their legs collided, and Tie Zhuzi stood still while Eck took a step back.

Tie Zhuzi seized the opportunity to charge forward, his massive body giving the impression of the ground shaking.

The people in front saw Tie Zhuzi charging and quickly stepped aside, afraid of being caught in it.

Eck, seeing Tie Zhuzi charging, didn’t evade either, and charged at him.

The two collided without any showy moves.

The people around heard a loud ’bang’.

Tie Zhuzi gritted his teeth and stepped back twice, while Eck fell directly to the ground two meters away.

"Awesome." Tie Zhuzi laughed heartily, then stepped forward to help Eck up, saying, "Come on, let’s go again."

Eck was about to speak when blood started flowing from his nose. He wiped it casually and laughed, saying, "I recognize you as a brother, I admit defeat."

Half of the people around had their mouths open. They knew Eck from the 10th group was famously tough, and today he unexpectedly admitted defeat in front of everyone, an unprecedented occurrence.

"Didn’t expect you to be this strong," Tie Zhuzi said, patting Eck on the shoulder.

Eck laughed heartily, saying, "You’re the strong one, brother, I’m convinced, let’s go drink."

Seeing there was nothing more to watch, the people around dispersed.

Hearing Eck’s invitation to drink, Tie Zhuzi turned to look at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu smiled and nodded, then turned and entered his tent.

Knowing Xiang Yu’s approval, Tie Zhuzi laughed heartily, saying, "Great, I’m happy to meet Brother Eck today; I’ll have a few drinks with you."

Eck was also pleased and took Tie Zhuzi to another tent, where eight others joined them.

They also recognized Tie Zhuzi, then introduced themselves to each other.

Eck and his friends prepared some alcohol and poured a bowl for each person.

"Brother, I see you’ve got skills, why listen to that Xia Cheng, he’s just a wimp," Eck said, taking a sip of his drink first.

"Exactly, you two standing together are in totally different leagues," others added.

"It’s a long story, but I’m his uncle after all, so I ought to look after him," Tie Zhuzi laughed and finished his bowl in one go.

Seeing Tie Zhuzi drinking so boldly, the others also raised their bowls and drank.

"Brother, whatever happens, you’re with us now in Little Xu. With us brothers backing you, you don’t need to bother with that Xia Cheng anymore, he’s just a sissy," Eck said.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you," Tie Zhuzi laughed heartily and drank the wine in front of him. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Eck and the others had never seen anyone drink like this before, so they just joined in.

The ten of them sat in a circle, drinking and chatting, until they all eventually passed out there.

Tie Zhuzi staggered back to his tent, while Xiang Yu was there on the phone.

Xia Cheng lay in a corner, shivering when he saw Tie Zhuzi return.

After Xiang Yu finished the call, Tie Zhuzi came over and said, "Brother Yu, I got them all drunk."

Xiang Yu just smiled lightly, saying, "Stay in touch with them, I think Eck is a pretty loyal guy."

Tie Zhuzi nodded, saying, "He’s straightforward and without guile, a friend worth making."

Xiao Xuan sat nearby and couldn’t help but laugh; Tie Zhuzi was known for being carefree, but who would’ve thought he had such a meticulous side.

"Look, look, what has this come to? Getting drunk with people you’re not familiar with, what if secrets get leaked?" Xia Cheng said, sitting by Xiang Yu.

Tie Zhuzi glared at Xia Cheng, making a move to grab him.

Xiang Yu quickly reached out to stop him. If Xia Cheng weren’t still useful, he would’ve dealt with him long ago.

"Let’s rest for a while; we have a task in the afternoon," Xiang Yu said calmly.

Tie Zhuzi pointed at Xia Cheng, then returned to his bed to sleep.

"See that? If I had a brother like that, I’d have shot him long ago," Xia Cheng muttered.

Xiang Yu ignored him and lay down on his bed to rest, too.

He was in a hurry to come to Little Xu mainly to rescue Sun Bo, initially thinking Xia Cheng would have some influence here, but unexpectedly he turned out to be so useless...
