Chapter 131
Yolanda was caught off guard, as she had no idea how much Kai could afford. Hence, she asked, "Kai, Rhino is asking you how much are you willing to compensate him? I would like to remind you if it wasn't for me, Rhino would've crippled you no matter how rich you are."
Yolanda tried to scare Kai, hoping that he would be willing to fork out more to avoid any physical punishment.
When Rhino heard how Yolanda sang his praises, he couldn't help but break into a smile.
"Is this enough?" Kai raised a finger.
"Do you think ten thousand can satisfy me?" Rhino sneered with a grim expression.
"Kai, what are you thinking? Rhino isn't a beggar. How can you offer only ten thousand?" Yolanda admonished Kai while desperately signaling him with her eyes.
"I didn't say ten thousand." Kai shook his head.
"Even a hundred thousand is too little," Rhino retorted.
At that moment, Yolanda fell into a dilemma because a hundred thousand was a huge sum. Considering Kai had just been released from prison, there was no way he would have that kind of money.
"Rhino, just look at him. Ten thousand is probably his limit. As he has just gotten out of jail, he barely has any money at all," Yolanda pleaded on behalf of Kai.
"Just out from prison?" Rhino was caught by surprise. "No wonder he is so ruthless and has some guts. I don't care whether he has the money or not. A hundred thousand just won't do for hitting me."
At Rhino's refusal, Yolanda turned to Kai again. "You should increase your offer. If you don't have enough, I can lend you everything I have. But, I have to be clear that you must pay me back. After all, I'm only loaning you the money on Hilda's account."
"I wasn't talking about a hundred thousand either." Kai shook his head.
Yolanda was stunned to hear his answer. In contrast, Rhino's face lit up in ecstasy. Nevertheless, he hid his emotions and responded coldly, "Are you talking about a million then? If you really can pay a million, I will let this matter slide. Moreover, I'll even allow you to work for me since you're an ex-convict."
"I was talking about a penny."
Just as he spoke, Kai took out a penny from his pocket and flicked it over.
When he realized what Kai meant, Rhino was outraged, "Dan it, how dare you diss me? I'm going to kill you!" Even Yolanda couldn't hold back her anger. "Kai, what's the meaning of this? Why are you only offering a penny? After all that I have done for you, why aren't you the least bit cooperative? Dan, I have had it with you!" Yolanda exploded. If it wasn't for Hilda, she wouldn't even have cared about Kai.
After she got out of the way, Rhino grabbed a chair and swung it at Kai.
Having brought more than ten men with him, he was no longer afraid. Therefore, he attacked with all the ruthlessness he could muster.
Just before Rhino could land his strike, Kai flicked the coin out from his hand. The coin shot out like a bullet and struck Rhino's wrist.
As an excruciating pain descended upon him, Rhino threw the chair aside. Checking his wrist, he realized that it was bleeding profusely.
"Kill him! Just kill him!" Rhino thundered.
At his cue, his men charged at Kai while brandishing the weapons in their hands.
"Kai!" Hilda exclaimed at the sight.
Just when she wanted to shield Kai, Yolanda forcefully held her back.
If she had joined in the fray, Hilda would have just thrown her life away for nothing.
Chapter 132
Despite facing more than ten men, Kai was calmly seated and barely moved a muscle.
Suddenly, he grabbed some peanuts from the table flung them out in their direction.
When the men saw Kai throwing peanuts at them, they made a face and didn't bother to dodge, assuming that the peanuts were harmless.
But soon, all of them regretted it at once.
Upon impact, they felt as if they were hit by bullets instead. One by one, they trembled momentarily before collapsing onto the ground. Every one of them had a cut on their hands where blood began to flow out.
Rhino was stunned by what happened. As if he was spellbound, he watched as his subordinates were all howling in pain.
"Wh-what happened?" Rhino gulped nervously.
No one answered him, and even Yolanda was stupefied. After all, she had not expected Kai to be so powerful. Turning around, she gave Hilda a look, as she felt that she deserved an explanation about who Kai really was.
At that moment, even Hilda was taken aback. She never knew Kai was capable of taking down more than ten men with just peanuts. It was simply unfathomable.
Staring at Rhino, Kai questioned, "Are you still planning to kill me?"
Just when he attempted to answer, words just wouldn't come out after he saw the look on Kai's face.
In fact, it took him a while before he regained his senses. After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, he replied, "Kid, I got to admit that you know a thing or two, but do you know who I am? I'm a member of the Crimson Dragon Gang, and this street belongs to us. Now that you have hit me, you have made enemies with the entire gang."
"So what if I did? If you're so tough, why don't all of you just come at me?" Kai couldn't help but sneer.
With his face fuming red, Rhino took out his phone and made a call.
Even though no one knew who he was calling, they were certain it was for reinforcements.
Soon, Rhino broke out into a smug smile after the call had ended. "Kid, now that Mr. Lawson is coming, you're doomed. Even if you have nine lives, there's no way you're going to escape."
Rhino had called Felix. With Steven away, Felix was left in charge of the Crimson Dragon Gang in his stead. Now that there was an issue, Felix was the man Rhino was supposed to escalate to.
The mention of Felix's name caused Kai to break into laughter. After all, he had just left Felix's office and didn't expect to see him again so soon.
"Perfect. I'll be right here waiting. Let's see how this Mr. Lawson that you talk about will do to me," Kai remarked with contempt.
However, the mere mention of Felix caused Yolanda's face to turn pale. After giving Hilda a look, she whispered in her ear, "Hilda, you should persuade Kai to leave now instead of maintaining this bravado. Let me tell you, Mr. Lawson is a lieutenant of Steven, head of the Crimson Dragon Gang. He is so ruthless that Kai would definitely lose his life if he comes later."
Frightened by the prospect, Hilda nodded slightly. Then, she approached Kai and muttered, "Kai, we'd better go. It's getting late."
