The bald man felt a ma.s.sive impact on his back; it was so intense that his insides churned. He could taste something metallic and fishy swirling in his throat as he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!
“Cough! Cough, cough—”
The man’s brows furrowed in pain. The corners of his mouth drew back for a moment before roughly coughing up a mouthful of blood with a few broken teeth in the mix.
No one expected such a small child to have this good of a physique. This roundhouse kick of his had managed to break three to four of his teeth!
The man wiped away the blood from the corner of his lips as he stared at the red splotches on the ground. Licking with his tongue the places in his mouth where his broken teeth had been, he lifted his head furiously and glared menacingly at the boy.
Little Yichen seemed not to pay him much mind. Rather, he got Youyou up on his feet while carefully inspecting his body for injuries.
His cheeks were all red, and there were dirty footprints on his clothes. It did not require much thinking to know what vile deeds the man had done on his brother earlier!
“Did he hit you?”
His younger brother bit his lower lip and gently nodded his head. “He did!”
These affirmative words left his lips.
He was flipping with anger upon hearing this. In an instant, his intimidating aura spread to every inch and corner of the alley!
His demeanor had taken an abrupt change.
What was once a face full of innocence and tenderness was now layered with thick frost. His smile was nowhere in sight as his complexion turned frightfully dark. His features, right now, seemed to be carved in ice.
“You lil’ sh*t… Hitting me so hard. If I don’t teach you a lesson, who knows how shameless you’ll grow up to be?! D*mn it…” The man cursed as he picked himself up from the ground. Following that, he pulled out the sharp b.u.t.terfly knife from his pocket and waved it in the air.
A frigid, hostile look flashed across Little Yichen’s eyes. The man closed in on him as he brandished his b.u.t.terfly knife.
Initially, he thought that the boy would be petrified and shocked by the knife he had pulled out.
The boy, unexpectedly, kept his icy composure. It was as if he did not have a sliver of fear in him. The chilled look in his beautiful eyes only turned colder!
Suddenly, Youyou reached out his hand and tugged on his brother’s s.h.i.+rt. Seeing the knife in the man’s hand, he was feeling uncertain!
Even though his big brother was skilled, this man still had a knife on him. What was he going to do if Yichen was stabbed by accident?
He did not want this dumb older brother of his to get hurt!
Feeling his brother’s tug on his s.h.i.+rt, Little Yichen turned to look at him. “What’s wrong?”
“He’s got a knife!”
The younger one hesitated to speak several times, not knowing how to put it into words.
Alas, he could no longer conceal the worry in his eyes.
His older brother gazed into his eyes. Noticing the heaviness and distress in them, his icy complexion simmered a little.
He could tell that this little brother of his was concerned about him!
Therefore, he comforted him. “Don’t worry; I’m fine! You should go call the police now…”
Youyou was about to speak, but he caught sight of the man with the knife rus.h.i.+ng toward his sibling from his periphery. The knife in his hand was a second away from stabbing his big brother’s body!
Frightened, he reflexively moved to pull his twin behind him.
No sooner said than done—
In a flas.h.!.+
Little Yichen swiftly pivoted and firmly caught hold of the man’s wrist with a hand!
It was as if time had stopped right at this moment.
With his eyes unblinking, the boy held the man’s wrist in a punis.h.i.+ng grip, yet the latter directed his knife at his face. The blade was only an inch away from his eye!
Youyou was stunned breathless!
