Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 73
Chapter 73: No Pretense, Let’s Be Honest
Upon hearing Chen Ye’s words, Andrew, the white youth, first looked stunned, then burst into laughter.
“Andrew, what did this sissy say?”
Someone next to him asked.
Andrew repeated Chen Ye’s words in English, causing those around him to burst into laughter.
They were all talented supernatural beings, and almost no one took seriously someone with a C-level hero talent.
Now, a guy with a C-level hero talent dared to say he was troublesome to them? Isn’t this a joke?
Only a Japanese man named Miyamoto Shinichi didn’t laugh.
At this moment, Miyamoto Shinichi saw Chen Ye’s face without a hint of fear, and frowned, his eyes full of vigilance.
He quietly signalled to his short-legged female companion, and the two stood silently behind the crowd.
If things went wrong, he would be the first to run.
At this moment, a muscular black youth stepped forward and came to Chen Ye.
“Andrew, help me translate!”
This black youth said, hammering his well-developed chest with his fist, then speaking some bird language to Chen Ye.
After hearing it, the people around all wore strange smiles, looking at Chen Ye with malicious intent.
Andrew laughed and translated, “Mr. Chen Ye, the one standing in front of you is Lawrence Whitaker from Ameriken, a genius with an S11 hero talent. He told me to tell you that he will stand still and let you punch him ten times. As long as you can make him feel pain or make him take a step back, he’ll let you go! If you can’t do it, then for the next few hours, you’ll have to be obediently his pet…”
S11, that’s the guy with the super-alloy black light. No wonder this black man looks so muscular, like a bodybuilder. But—
“He really will stand still and let me punch him ten times?” Chen Ye’s face looked a bit strange.
“Yes!”
Andrew was full of smiles. The others were also enjoying the spectacle. They were not worried at all that Lawrence would fail.
The hero talent of S11 is renowned for its defence.
And Lawrence’s strength had reached the second order, with a resistance strength close to the third order. Even against opponents of the same level with strength, bare-handed, they couldn’t break his defence.
Just at this moment, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the hall. It turned out that Tang Zichen heard the commotion and came back.
Seeing Tang Zichen, the crowd became wary and immediately surrounded Chen Ye. Many people aimed their weapons at Chen Ye.
Seeing that Chen Ye didn’t resist, seeming to be stunned, these people became even more confident, looking at Tang Zichen walking in.
“What’s going on?” Tang Zichen frowned: “What are you doing?”
Although the current situation could be understood at a glance, Tang Zichen still gave these people a chance.
Unfortunately, these people didn’t cherish it.
Perhaps they thought that having Chen Ye in hand would be enough to make Tang Zichen wary and not dare to act recklessly.
“Don’t get any closer, Tang Zichen!”
Andrew held a dagger, gesturing in front of Chen Ye, saying, “Otherwise, I don’t mind, slashing the face of your lover!”
Tang Zichen was a bit confused and looked at Chen Ye.
Chen Ye shrugged helplessly and said, “Don’t look at me like that, these idiots suddenly came looking for me, it’s all their own idea, it’s their idea that they can use me to threaten you, and even make you commit suicide.”
Tang Zichen understood. Then, she apologized, “Sorry, Chen Ye, causing trouble for you again.”
“What kind of trouble is this?”
Chen Ye smiled and shook his head.
“I find it quite interesting.”
Looking at his appearance, there was no panic of being taken hostage at all!
Andrew vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he also thought that these two were deliberately acting, so he threatened loudly, “Tang, put down your weapon immediately, or I’ll kill this little white face!”
Tang Zichen didn’t even want to bother with Andrew, asking Chen Ye, “Do you need my help?”
“No need!”
Chen Ye said, “They just proposed an interesting game, I’ll play with them first, don’t bother, go deal with your zombie monsters!”
Tang Zichen heard this and decisively turned around and left.
She knew Chen Ye’s strength, and she didn’t need to worry at all.
“Remember to close the main gate!”
Chen Ye shouted.
Tang Zichen showed a helpless look on her pretty face and, obediently, closed the main gate.
On the other side, Tang Zichen didn’t leave, choosing to stay here to guard, lest any fish escape and reveal Chen Ye’s secret.
…
Until now, the people in the hall finally realized that something was wrong!
Tang Zichen’s performance was completely different from what they had imagined, not following the routine at all. No one was stupid.
Knowing that the only two reasons for Tang Zichen to be so indifferent were either that she didn’t care about the life and death of the man in front of her, or that the man in front of her was really stronger than her and she didn’t need to worry at all…
From the current situation, the latter possibility was more likely.
Thinking of this, many smart people stepped back, looking at Chen Ye with more caution.
“Who are you really?” Andrew looked at Chen Ye with a serious face.
“Didn’t you come to me? Haven’t you investigated me?” Chen Ye smiled and spread his hands, “I, Chen Ye, a C-level talent, is also a recognized little white face, relying on holding Tang Zichen’s thigh to get to where I am today.”
The more he acted like this, the less the crowd believed him, but Chen Ye didn’t care whether these people believed him or not.
“Hey, big guy over there, who just said he wanted me to punch him ten times, you’re not allowed to speak without keeping your word!”
Chen Ye raised his fist and said, “Are you ready? I’m itching to go!”
The black man named Lawrence, though he didn’t understand what Chen Ye was saying, he understood the meaning of the raised fist. Immediately, he roared, his muscles tense, making him look like he had expanded a circle, as strong as a calf.
Then, without saying a word, he raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it towards Chen Ye.
However, before his hammer could come down, a seemingly ordinary fist, at an imperceptible speed, boomed in front of him.
Whoosh!
This punch actually broke the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom. The next moment—
Boom!
Lawrence’s strong body exploded like a smashed watermelon, instantly bursting into pieces, blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The people around couldn’t dodge in time, and many were splattered with blood…
In an instant, a strong man like a bull was reduced to just a pair of legs still standing in place, his upper body cut in half, soaring in the air.
Lawrence was an S11 hero talent and his defense was comparable to an iron wall, already reaching the point where knives and guns couldn’t penetrate.
Everyone present dared not say that they could break Lawrence’s defense with confidence.
And this kind of thick-skinned expert, was he done with just one punch??
Fear!
Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Chen Ye, their eyes filled with fear!!
In the gaze of the crowd, Chen Ye slowly retracted his fist.
Seeing the blood on his fist, he wiped it off with a look of disgust, cursing as he wiped:
“You dog, you said you’d let me punch you ten times, did you think you were so tough? Turns out you’re just a brittle guy, getting my hand covered in blood, disgusting…”
