Chapter 32: What Are You Doing Here

"Maize bro, how much money would it take to settle this?" Yezhan bit his lip, saying, "I know I'm not qualified, but I still dare to speak up. If you and Yucheng Fei really go to war, it might lead to a conflict between Chenggao and Vocational College, and the peace of many years might be destroyed... Maize bro, shouldn't we make a mountain out of a molehill in this matter?"

"Oh." Maize grabbed Yezhan's hair, saying with a smirk, "I didn't expect you to be a patriot, caring for the country and the people. Risking a beating just to prevent a war between the two schools, it truly moves me..." As he spoke, he even wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he had shed tears. I realized that this guy was truly a pervert, disgusting, and mentally unstable.

"Maize bro, what do you think..." Yezhan tentatively asked.

"But this is exactly what I've always dreamed of..." Maize chuckled, his laughter truly sending chills down one's spine, "For a long time, people have always said that the gangsters at Chenggao are the weakest among the three schools, and Vocational College is the leader. Heh heh, I don't agree with that. Vocational College is just a bit more chaotic, but quality matters more than quantity. Vocational College impressive? If they were really impressive, why would they let an outsider like Yucheng Fei take the lead? So in my opinion, Vocational College, which seems impressive on the surface, is actually just so-so..."

"Maize bro, are you saying..." I felt Yezhan's voice trembling.

"You're very smart, you understand what I mean," Maize said softly, "I want to use this matter to provoke a war between Chenggao and Vocational College, to see which school is the true leader. Look, I'm the real student who loves Chenggao, the one who studies hard is just weak."

After hearing Maize's words, I felt goosebumps all over my body. Liu Zihong and others, lying on the ground like me, stared at Maize with astonished eyes, looking up at Maize with disbelief. Yezhan couldn't even speak properly: "But... but..."

"But what?" Maize smirked darkly, "Do you really think I'll be at odds with Yucheng Fei just for Hongli? I just want to provoke a war between the two schools using this matter. I love seeing scenes of bloodshed. When the thugs from both schools fight all day long, maybe even Beiqi will get involved, and then it'll be the thugs from three schools fighting each other..."

As he spoke, Maize's tone became increasingly excited, with a hint of excitement in his voice, "This is the real era. Only the ones who persist to the end are the heroes, the overlords. Let's see who can truly unify these three schools? His name will shine brightly in the hearts of every student!"

"That person must be me." Maize continued, "I'll crush them all underfoot, whether it's Yucheng Fei, Nie Yuanlong, Qiu Feng from Vocational College, or the dogs and bricks from Chenggao... Hahaha, all under my feet!"

"How many students will be injured because of this? Even, even..." Yezhan dared not continue.

"Even die, right?" Maize licked his lips, "It would be even better if one or two lives were lost. I'd feel even happier..."

Madman, lunatic, psychopath! How could such a person exist in the world!

My fists trembled slightly. Maize was just afraid of chaos! He enjoyed causing trouble and turmoil. If what he said was true, the consequences of the three schools falling into chaos were unimaginable. Students couldn't concentrate on their studies, and violence would be everywhere outside the school gates. What would happen here... Just thinking about it made me shiver!

"This place will become a bloody hell." Maize opened his arms, closed his eyes, as if he could already smell those scents.

"Ah!" Yezhan suddenly roared and pounced on Maize, attacking him crazily!

I saw the situation and mustered all my strength to crawl towards the melee. Even though I couldn't help much, even just grabbing onto Maize's foot to immobilize him would suffice. I crawled over and grabbed Maize's foot, but his strength was much greater than mine, and he viciously stomped on my hand.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

"Ah..." I cried out in pain, grabbing onto his ankle and biting down.

"Damn it," Maize cursed, kicking towards my face with his other foot.

"Maize bro, what's going on?!" Hongli and the others seemed to rush over.

"Don't worry about me, you guys wait for Yucheng Fei!" Maize shouted, "Taking care of these two bastards is no problem for me."

In fact, Maize's two lackeys were still here, but they were responsible for keeping Liu Zihong and the others subdued, so they couldn't help at the moment. Maize also had no intention of asking for their help. Suddenly, he raised a wooden stick and viciously struck towards Yezhan's head.

Yezhan staggered, obviously dazed by the blow.

"You're dead!" Maize struck again, hitting Yezhan's face. Yezhan retreated two steps, falling stiffly to the ground.

"Yezhan!" I shouted, quickly crawling towards Yezhan again. But Maize evidently had no intention of letting me go, as he followed closely behind, viciously stomping on my back, rendering me unable to move like a caterpillar pinned down.

"Insolent fools, you all deserve to die!" Maize said fiercely.

The wooden stick in Maize's hand was already poised at the back of my head.

But I paid no attention, my eyes fixed straight on Yezhan, fearing for his safety.

"You two seem to be quite close," Maize said with a hint of regret, "But alas, such people usually end up as lambs."

Maize raised the stick, about to bring it down. But then, came the agonizing cries of Hongli.

Immediately after, the two students who had followed Hongli also cried out in pain, then fell silent one by one. Faintly, I could see that Hongli and the others had all collapsed on the ground, and a figure was slowly approaching, but it was impossible to tell who it was.

"Damn it." Maize cursed, "Yucheng Fei, I'll f*ck your mother. Even in this situation, you're still so arrogant. Today, I'll deal with your brothers first, and then slowly settle our score!"

However, the figure remained silent, continuing to approach slowly. My heart raced with excitement, but I instinctively knew this person wasn't Yucheng Fei. After all, I had grown up with Yucheng Fei since childhood, so I was quite familiar with his figure. This person was not as tall as Yucheng Fei, but clearly stronger. But whoever it was, I believed they were here to save me, most likely on Yucheng Fei's orders. Yucheng Fei, being so intelligent, how could he possibly come over to face death willingly?

"F*ck." Maize cursed, his foot still on my back, but his eyes fixed on the approaching figure.

I knew I was temporarily safe, so I quickly looked back at Yezhan. Yezhan lay motionless, and I was worried about his condition.

The footsteps of the approaching person grew nearer, and I turned my head back to see who it was. Neither tall nor short, with a slightly muscular build, an ordinary face, nothing remarkable about it, he wouldn't stand out in a crowd.

In his hand, he held a brick. Just now, he had knocked down Hongli and the others with this brick.

But I didn't recognize this person at all, yet Maize should know him because I felt Maize's breathing intensify.

"Brick, what are you doing here?" Maize asked, puzzled.

It turned out this person was Brick, one of the big shots at Chenggao, on par with Old Dog and Maize!

I looked at Brick and still felt he was quite ordinary, nothing particularly eye-catching about him. It was just that the aura emanating from him was no less than Maize's.

"Looking for someone," Brick said, looking towards me.

I could almost be certain that Brick was sent by Yucheng Fei. Yucheng Fei's network of friends was indeed impressive, truly well-connected. But in front of Yucheng Fei's friend, I felt extremely embarrassed by how embarrassing and miserable I looked. But being pinned down by Maize, I couldn't even stand up...

"Who are you looking for?" Maize asked knowingly.

"The one under your foot," Brick answered honestly.

"Did Yucheng Fei send you?" Maize's tone was somewhat unbalanced, "We're all from Chenggao, and you're helping someone from Vocational College?"

"Who's Yucheng Fei?" Brick looked puzzled.

"Brick, what are you pretending for?" Maize was angry, his voice raising several notches, "Did you come at the behest of Yucheng Fei, wanting to save Wang Hao?!"

"I wasn't sent by Yucheng Fei," Brick remained calm, "I'm not here to save Wang Hao, just to find you and get this person. Will you give him to me?" Brick's voice had no emotional fluctuation, but I could sense the chilling coldness in it.

"Brick!" Maize roared, "We've never crossed each other, have we? I've never offended you in any way, right? What's the meaning of this now? Are you going to turn against your own brothers for an outsider?!"

"I'm not your brother," Brick remained deadpan, "And I don't know Yucheng Fei."

"Damn it," Maize cursed, "Then why do you want Wang Hao?"

"It's useful."

"What's it useful for?"

"I can't tell you." Brick and Maize exchanged words, but his eyes were fixed on me. He had no expression, yet I felt a chilling coldness.

"Damn it," Maize cursed again.

Although Brick denied it vehemently, I still felt he must be sent by Yucheng Fei. I don't know him at all, so how could he come here in the middle of the night to ask Maize for someone? At this juncture, it's undoubtedly going against Maize, considering what happened to Yezhan.

But this Brick was indeed bold and daring, coming alone with a brick in hand, truly a master among masters.

I felt Maize was somewhat intimidated by this person. Seeing such an arrogant person back down gave me a sense of satisfaction.
