Hao Jian smiled and quietly moved a few steps to the side, making some room; otherwise, there wasn't enough space for five people to lie down. But to those people, it seemed Hao Jian was afraid, afraid and trying to escape, but at this point, was escape even possible?

The five quickly rubbed their fists and walked up to Hao Jian, laughing with obvious confidence that Hao Jian would be easy to deal with. As soon as they struck, the five of them could easily pin Hao Jian to the ground, leaving him immobile and begging for mercy.

Baldy watched, looking at Hao Jian with eyes full of intent to intervene. After all, Hao Jian had stood up for them, and if he got into trouble for that, Baldy felt somewhat indebted.

However, the next second, he thought he might have overthought the situation.

The five rushed toward Hao Jian, surrounding him completely, and then threw punches and kicks from all directions. In an instant, Hao Jian faced attacks from everywhere. Yet, just when everyone thought he'd be knocked to the ground, a smile appeared on his face; his lips curled slightly, and he grabbed one person's hand and gently twisted, breaking the bone.

That person's face immediately contorted in pain. Hao Jian released his grip, rendering them unable to fight as they sat on the ground clutching their hand, wailing in agony. Almost simultaneously, Hao Jian kicked, knocking two people to the ground. Before they could react and try to stand, Hao Jian swiftly kicked them again, causing blood to spurt from their noses. They quickly covered their noses in shock, their faces red with pain. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The remaining two, possibly startled by Hao Jian's speed, hesitated briefly. By the time they came to their senses, Hao Jian had already rushed up to them, throwing punches in rapid succession within a second. The two saw stars and tasted blood rising from their throats before being knocked to the ground, unconscious.

"Bang!" With that sound, the last two were down on the ground at Hao Jian's hands.

At that moment, the entire room watched Hao Jian with eyes filled with newfound admiration.

Baldy watched Hao Jian, full of surprise. He had been ready to act because Hao Jian had spoken up for him, and with Yellow Hair's men attacking Hao Jian, he naturally couldn't stand by. But before he had the chance, Hao Jian had singlehandedly knocked five men to the ground. His speed was truly astonishing. The movements were too fast to follow, and the next moment, the men were down.

Yellow Hair wore a similar expression; he thought five men could easily handle Hao Jian, showing what happened if someone crossed him, aiming to intimidate Baldy's group using Hao Jian as an example. But while he was still fantasizing, his five men were already taken down by Hao Jian. Shock, surprise, disbelief—he couldn't think of words to describe his feelings.

The others felt the same. To them, beating someone one-on-one was impressive enough, but Hao Jian was different. He had beaten five people effortlessly, knocking them all to the ground. Astonishing, indeed.

And as for Hao Jian, he had a carefree look on his face as he said with a smile, "Why do this? It's just asking for trouble."

Looking at the five lying on the ground, their faces were filled with endless regret.

However, at this moment, Zhang Danlin, who had been sitting and watching from the side, noticed the fight involving Hao Jian and nearly being caught by the five men. She immediately had a worried expression, unable to sit still, and directly ran over, grabbing Hao Jian's arm and anxiously asked, "Are you okay?"

Hao Jian saw Zhang Danlin's worried look and replied, "I'm fine, how could anything happen to me? If anyone is hurt, it's them."

While saying this, he intentionally glanced at the people lying on the ground. Indeed, he is the God of Death of the dark world. If a few gangsters managed to hurt him, it would be laughable.

Earlier, Yellow Hair and his followers might have mocked Hao Jian, but after witnessing Hao Jian's quick defeat of the five people, they fell silent, unwilling to speak or ridicule him.

Yet, their silence wasn't due to this.

They witnessed Hao Jian's skills, acknowledging his prowess, but when Zhang Danlin came out to check on him, they were surprised again.

Surprised by Zhang Danlin's sudden appearance; with such events happening, their focus was naturally on what was happening, neglecting Zhang Danlin, who was sitting at the table nearby, as well as Hao Jian.

Only when Zhang Danlin appeared and asked about Hao Jian did everyone focus on her, and suddenly, they couldn't look away. They were captivated by Zhang Danlin's beauty.

Zhang Danlin was already extremely beautiful, and her serious expression when she was concerned about Hao Jian added another level of sincere beauty. The people present were all gangsters with generally low educational levels, always involved in fights. Most of them had only graduated from middle school, at most high school, and some had only finished elementary school.

They ended their school life early and became street hooligans, forming bonds over food and drinks rather than having girlfriends. Whenever they saw a pretty girl, they'd steal a few glances, and if they drank a bit, they'd muster the courage to wink and whistle. However, today they saw Hao Jian, who was genuinely cared for by such a beautiful girl.

Earlier, they were already shocked by Hao Jian's skills, and suddenly Zhang Danlin appeared, surprising them once again. They looked at Hao Jian with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and resentment, their expressions filled with malicious intent.

Baldy's gaze was a bit better because they knew Hao Jian was speaking for them, helping them, but it was hard to conceal the envy in their eyes. They subconsciously considered Zhang Danlin to be Hao Jian's girlfriend and envied that he had such a pretty girlfriend.

Hao Jian just smiled and said to Zhang Danlin, "It's fine, I'll stand aside first, so I don't accidentally hurt you later."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Danlin glanced at Hao Jian and, after ensuring he was okay, stepped aside. After all, she's not the type to make unreasonable demands and understood that Hao Jian had other matters to attend to, so she didn't interfere.

Immediately, Hao Jian turned his gaze to Yellow Hair and said, "Yo! Seeing your stance, you seem immune to reason, unwilling to listen to good words, refusing a toast yet wanting to drink a penalty cup?"

Upon hearing this, Yellow Hair's face immediately filled with anger. Although Hao Jian's skills had surprised him, no matter how skilled one person is, he can't defeat a group. There were over twenty people here, even excluding the five lying on the ground, nearly twenty were still standing.

Just a young man, no matter how skilled, can his mother defeat a crowd? This is simply ridiculous, and this young man dares to talk to me with such an attitude, completely unaware of the dangers of the world. Fine, if that's the case, I'll show him the consequences of not knowing restraint.

Immediately, he was furious, and his group of lackeys was also angered. He shouted, "Caonima, today I'll show you the cost of speaking wrongly."

At that moment, he waved his hand, and the group of lackeys behind him all moved at once, suddenly charging at Hao Jian.

Baldy, who was originally seated, suddenly stood up. Today, Yellow Hair's attitude was clear; he intended to harm him, and Hao Jian stepped up to speak for him. Whatever Hao Jian intended to do, now that he was in danger, Baldy could not just stand by and do nothing.

Immediately, he stood up, with his group of followers behind him, ready to rush in and fight against Yellow Hair's men.

Since Yellow Hair had forced them to this point, they were dead either way. They might as well "die" a glorious death.

"Damn it! Kill them for me!" Baldy shouted loudly.

Immediately, Yellow Hair's group of over twenty charged at Hao Jian, and Baldy led his group to rush forward as well, and suddenly, both sides clashed. Yellow Hair's people intended to beat Hao Jian, but upon seeing Baldy's group intervene, a chaotic fight ensued.

Baldy never expected Yellow Hair to dare strike, and his face immediately showed anger as he shouted, "Caonima, hit them until they're afraid."

Though Baldy's group engaged, he had over twenty men, holding the upper hand, so he seemed not worried at all.

Meanwhile, Zhang Danlin stood aside, all her attention focused on Hao Jian's movements, her face full of worry. She knew that getting involved in such chaos would only burden Hao Jian further, so she stood honestly to the side, her expression filled with concern for Hao Jian.

In the chaos, both sides fought, and the originally peaceful late-night snack shop became a scene of devastation.

With a "bang," a chair smashed over someone's head, breaking it.
