Meanwhile, a young man was about to take a seat in the canteen; he was holding a tray shakily with his hands, which were both full of scars.
“Hey, who let you sit here? Yunfei hasn’t gotten his fruit yet. Hurry up and get some fruit for him!” yelled a young man who was sitting alongside a few youngsters, who all put on cold expressions on their face. All of them looked arrogant and condescending; it was evident that they were making fun of the young man.
The young man named Yunfei was apparently sitting right in their midst. He was narrowing his eyes with his lips curled in mockery as he enjoyed the scene before his eyes.
“Alright, I’m getting it now!” The young man bit his lips and stood up. Despite being humiliated pitilessly, he still took the fruit and placed it beside Yunfei.
However, right when he sat down, the young man who spoke earlier yelled again with a sneer, “D*mn it, what kind of rotten fruit is this that you got? Hurry up and change it for a smaller one instead!”
With that, the few young men sitting beside him couldn’t help but cover their mouths and they were snickering while he spoke.
The young man could not hold it any longer. He slammed the table and yelled, “Are you done yet, Ma Feng? Why must I obey your orders despite all of us being on tryout for the Dragon Squad?”
“Did you just yell at me? How dare you bite back at us? It seems you’re far from having learned your lessons!” With that, Ma Feng grabbed the apple swiftly from the table and hurled it at the food tray which the young man was holding.
The food tray dropped with a clatter, spilling its contents all over the floor.
“You!” The young man clenched his fists tightly while his veins stood out on his forehead, yet he forced himself to swallow his anger.
“That’s going too far! I’ve heard that this lad worked very hard when he first joined the team. He even outdid Zhu Yunfei during an assessment. That’s why he ended up being bullied by Zhu Yunfei’s men everyday like this. Look at the scars on his body!”
“Hmm, it can’t be helped. There’s no way he will remain unscathed after having fallen victim to Zhu Yunfei’s bullying. I guess he’ll be forced out of the Dragon Squad’s trainee crew pretty soon.”
“Speaking of Zhu Yunfei, he does have a prominent background, doesn’t he? Apart from being skilled, he’s got a strong backing too!”
“That’s not surprising. Come to think of it, he’s a member of the Zhu Family and Sergeant Zhu Baoqing of the First Team is his uncle. Besides, I’ve heard that Director Long’s granddaughter—the Miss Long who is said to be a stunner—seems to be head over heels for him!”
“D*mn, so that explains why no one dared say anything about the lad getting bullied in such a manner!”
At that moment, everyone held their tongues while looking on at the scene of the young man getting bullied, whereas Zhu Yunfei ate his meal leisurely while keeping his eyes narrowed.
Ma Feng, however, wouldn’t let the young man off. He walked toward the young man and sneered, “Haha, so what? Are you defying us now?” Following that, he trampled the spilled meal under his feet before grabbing a handful of the now-dirty rice and bringing it to the young man.
“Bastard, since you are being so ungrateful and dared to outdo our boss, you won’t have any decent meals today. This is the meal you’ll be having. Pick it up and eat it!” said Ma Feng viciously.
The young man flushed angrily at his words. Before he could respond though, he was smacked to the ground by another of Zhu Yunfei’s minions with a thud. As he was lying face down on the floor, Ma Feng instantly grabbed his hair, lifted his head, and stuffed the dirty rice into his mouth.
“This is simply abusive!” Everyone around them stood up, looking terrified, but none of them dared to voice out their disagreements.
Just then, a trembling voice called out from the entrance, “Xiao… Xiaofei? Is that you?”
The voice belonged to none other than Chen Hao, who walked in on the scene when he entered the canteen with Master Ghost and Yun Haotian just now.
Their words instantly enraged Yun Haotian, who was so furious that he couldn’t even speak.
Master Ghost quickly helped Bai Xiaofei up and attempted to help Bai Xiaofei sit down and get some rest.
However, Ma Feng immediately shot a glance at the crowd of his friends behind him, and one of them immediately took the seat on which Bai Xiaofei had wanted to sit, saying, “I’m sorry, this seat is taken!”
As soon as he spoke, the crowd burst into scornful laughter.
“You bunch of…” Master Ghost was seeing red.
He then helped Bai Xiaofei to take a seat at the other side, but just when they were about to sit down, another young man took the seat before them and said, “I’m sorry, this seat is taken too!”
Chen Hao frowned at the scene. He glanced at Zhu Yunfei, who was sitting like a statute at one side while having his meal unfazed, and immediately realized Zhu Yunfei’s deliberate intention.
“This is unthinkable! I couldn’t believe this is how the Dragon Squad base’s trainees behave!” said Master Ghost angrily after helping Bai Xiaofei to some seats only to have them all taken by these men. Having no other choice, he could only help Bai Xiaofei up while walking toward an empty seat near the entrance.
Upon seeing this, Ma Feng, who was resting his hands in his pockets, put on a thin smile. Then, he hurried toward both of them and grabbed the seat immediately. “I’m sorry…” But before he could finish his sentence, a heavy blow landed directly on his face at breakneck speed, producing a loud slap that echoed across the room. “Ow!”
The heavy blow sent Ma Feng flying sideways and knocking down a dozen tables in a row. Half of his face was smashed in from the impact, while all his teeth were knocked out and scattered over the floor; it was obvious that the slap had disfigured his face!
The person who struck Ma Feng in the face was of course Chen Hao. Having one hand in his pocket while patting dust off his body with the other, he looked at the whole crowd of stupefied trainees and said, “I’m sorry, my hand was itching just now!”
