Bab 15: Chapter 15: Totally Overwhelmed.
Seeing the bald man's appearance, Winston's eyes lit up. The remaining two thugs also cheered excitedly.
"Brother Bernie, it's this guy. He attacked our people. Moreover, he's extremely arrogant, not caring who Tiger Lee is and not needing to know!"
Slap!
As the thug excitedly accused Benjamin, the bald man's hand swung out, smacking him. The thug, named Bernie, cursed loudly.
"Damn it, you dare to utter Mr. Tiger's name so casually? Get out!"
After kicking his subordinate away, Bernie's cold gaze finally turned to Benjamin.
"Was it you who attacked my people? Is that true?"
Seeing the scar-faced man appear without bothering to understand the situation and glaring at him, Benjamin sneered inwardly. At the same time, he calmly nodded in response.
"What if it's true? And what if it's not?"
"Damn it, are you trying to mock me?"
Enraged by Benjamin's provocation, the bald man threw a punch at Benjamin. Benjamin had anticipated Bernie's move and remained calm, staring at him and smiling.
"In the past, there was a saying, 'don't hit the face when hitting someone'. However, since you didn't respect my face, you shouldn't blame me for not being polite?!"
Upon hearing Benjamin's words, everyone present was astonished. They had seen many arrogant people, but none as haughty as Benjamin.
Naturally, the reason Benjamin behaved so arrogantly was that he believed these people were connected to Winston. If they wanted to deal with him, why should he be polite to them?
Despite Bernie's swift and decisive movements and extremely vicious angles, the air still carried the gust of wind due to the immense force behind his punch. If an ordinary person were to be hit by this punch, their face would either be disfigured or suffer a broken jaw, requiring a hospital stay of a week or even half a month.
However, this time his opponent was Benjamin. To him, Bernie's moves were as slow as a film playing in slow motion. Moreover, this guy's abilities could have been better compared to the soldiers Benjamin had previously trained.
Thus, just as Bernie's fist was about to reach Benjamin's face, one of Benjamin's hands came out and firmly grabbed the fist.
"A…"
Bernie couldn't help but gasp, but Benjamin's words only infuriated him further.
"With just this little strength, you want to face me?"
Seeing the disappointment on Benjamin's face, Bernie angrily yelled.
"Damn it, I wasn't prepared and only used a third of my strength. If you have the guts, let go of my hand."
"Fine!"
Everyone present was astonished to see Benjamin let go of Bernie's hand, thinking he was merely joking. At this point, Bernie himself felt extremely frightened. Although he had yet to use his full strength earlier, his punch would have been complex even for a special forces soldier to block. Moreover, through Benjamin's gaze, Bernie could sense that he hadn't unleashed his full power either.
Although petrified inside, Bernie had to maintain his dignity in front of his subordinates and the onlookers. With a serious expression, he looked at Benjamin and yelled.
"Alright, if you're that capable, then watch these moves. This is my signature technique. Let's see if you can handle it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bernie shouted. He bent his body slightly and then sprung up like a bowstring, charging toward Benjamin.
This technique's speed and damage potential were obviously much more powerful than the previous punch, and even Benjamin had to appreciate it to some extent. However, no matter how impressive, Benjamin needed more to reveal his true abilities.
As Bernie's attack once again approached, Benjamin didn't dodge it. Instead, he used a single fingertip to press on Bernie's thigh lightly. Immediately, Bernie's entire body stiffened, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Benjamin.
"Who... who are you?"
Benjamin's move was genuinely bizarre, something no one could have imagined. To counter such a powerful attack with just a fingertip was beyond comprehension.
However, as Bernie's voice rang out, a sudden applause emerged from the VIP room. A middle-aged man wearing dress shoes and a vest stepped out of the room.
"Ha ha ha, excellent, truly excellent! It's been a long time since someone has dared to mess with me!"
As soon as he stepped out, he burst into hearty laughter. Simultaneously, Bernie's companions appeared delighted, shouting at the middle-aged man.
"Boss, it's the boss!"
"Mr. Tiger, please save me!"
While Bernie's group was still admiring their boss, Benjamin's icy voice rang out, making the atmosphere tense.
"Oh, it's you?!"
To everyone's astonishment, the middle-aged man rushed towards Benjamin like a child and cried.
"Are you my benefactor? I have been searching for you for so long, and finally, I can meet you here! Ha ha ha!"
"Get lost!"
Annoyed by the man clinging to his leg and crying like a jilted woman, Benjamin couldn't help but shudder. He then forcefully kicked Tiger away, sending him flying several meters.
Seeing their boss being attacked, Tiger's followers were furious. However, aside from cursing, they dared not confront Benjamin. Only Bernie was highly indignant, as Tiger was not only his boss but also his idol.
So, seeing his boss kneeling and crying and being kicked away in disgust, Bernie felt highly uncomfortable. Taking advantage of Benjamin's distraction, he charged toward him and threw a powerful punch.
However, Tiger noticed Bernie's action. Instantly, a hand swung out and slapped Bernie's face.
"Damn, are you tired of living? This man has done me a favor, and you dare to attack him?"
Tiger's slap was so powerful that blood spurted from Bernie's mouth, even knocking out one of his front teeth. Contrary to Tiger's aggressive demeanor, Benjamin remained calm, glancing at him.
Immediately, Tiger felt as if his heart was being squeezed. He was terrified, quickly stomping on Bernie's knee and continuously scolding.
"Damn it, what are you all standing around for? Kneel and apologize to Mr. Arnold right now!"
However, Benjamin did not want to see a group of thugs kneeling before him. So, as Tiger's followers began to kneel, Benjamin waved his hand dismissively.
"Enough, it's just a misunderstanding. There's no need for them to kneel like this. Besides, I have left the military and am no longer the Benjamin from before. You don't have to be afraid of me like that!"
As he spoke, Benjamin approached, gently patting Tiger's shoulder a few times. However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the notorious gang leader of New Harbor was extremely frightened and yawningly smiled at Benjamin.
"No, no, you are my benefactor. Their actions disrespect me, Tiger. It's only natural for them to kneel before you."
While talking, Tiger's gaze constantly signaled Bernie's group. By this point, they, too, began to realize that the young man before them seemed to make their boss extremely cautious.
After some thought, although Bernie felt utterly humiliated and unwilling, he knelt before Benjamin. Following his lead, the rest of his gang quickly knelt and shouted.
"We were blind and offended you. Please forgive us!"
Contrary to Tiger's expectations, Benjamin's expression seemed rather displeased. He glanced at Tiger and lightly patted his shoulder once more.
"I don't want to see this kind of thing happen again. From now on, you should manage your subordinates better."
With that said, Benjamin turned and walked away, leaving a stunned Tiger to watch his retreating figure. Suddenly remembering something, Tiger hurriedly chased after him, shouting.
"Benefactor, benefactor! Please wait! Today I have an important guest, and you must meet them!"
But Benjamin's figure had already disappeared, leaving Tiger with a frustrated expression, unable to catch up.
"Boss, who is that guy? Why are you so scared of him?"
At this moment, Bernie also followed Tiger with his group. Seeing Tiger's inexplicably sad expression, he couldn't help but inquire.
However, as soon as his words left his mouth, Tiger's hand swung back, slapping Bernie's face.
"Fool! If not for my intervening, would you be standing here talking to me? From now on, I forbid you from causing trouble outside. Especially with that person, you must show some respect. With your little abilities, how dare you provoke him? I don't know where you get the courage!"
Tiger was furious, lecturing Bernie and his gang non-stop. Then, his cold gaze fell upon the three subordinates who had previously provoked Benjamin.
"I don't care who hired you to do this. But today, you must bring him to see me. I want to see who dares to confront my benefactor."
These words immediately terrified the three subordinates, who hastily knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing.
"Boss, we were wrong, we were wrong!"
"Hmph, get lost!"
As the Tiger-led group left, Benjamin slowly emerged from his hiding spot.
'Sure enough, someone is trying to deal with me. However, they are provoking someone they shouldn't mess with, huh!'
Upon uttering these words, a dark expression appeared in Benjamin's eyes.
