    Onitsuka Ryuji let out a boisterousugh, his teeth clenched in defiance: “You haven’t even considered the Bunkyo runaway group, boy. Today is yourst day!”


    The girl gasped in shock and quickly warned, “Sir, you must leave! They’re all part of the runaway group! The Bunkyo runaway group is thergest violent organization in the entire Bunkyo district; you can’t take them on!”


    Charlie casually touched his nose, ncing at Onitsuka Ryuji with a smirk: “I’ve heard there are 23 districts in Tokyo. So, doesn’t that imply there are at least 23 groups just like your Bunkyo Bandit One?”


    Fuming, Onitsuka Ryuji shot back, “So what? Our Bunkyo runaway group ranks among the top five in Tokyo! Do you think you can handle that?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie scoffed, “You’ll find out soon enough whether or not you should provoke them!”


    “You cocky brat!” one of the thugs yelled in anger. “You’re too full of yourself!”<fn3409> This text is hosted at find?novel</fn3409>


    Onitsuka Ryuji signaled to his crew, barking orders, “Take him out!”


    Upon hearing this, the others swiftly drew iron rods from their waists and surged towards Charlie.


    To Charlie, these ordinary gangsters posed no threat; their strength was nearly negligible in his eyes.


    Therefore, Charlie felt no fear as the mob charged at him en masse.


    At that moment, the girl, still held tightly by Onitsuka Ryuji, cried out, “Sir, be careful! Please run!”


    “Run?” Charlie replied with a grin, “As a proud Chinese boy, I won’t back down!”


    His expression suddenly turned icy.


    In the blink of an eye, the four attackers rushing at him were taken by surprise; Charlie’s right leg moved with astonishing speed, delivering four swift kicks in an instant.


    Before they could even process what had happened, they were struck hard in the abdomen by Charlie’s powerful kicks, causing them to fly backwards uncontrobly,nding in a parabolic arc into the nearby greenery.


    Although Charlie had deliberately held back most of his strength to avoid causing fatal injuries, the four men were nheless severely wounded, sprawled in the bushes and unable to rise, as if they had been dealt a life-altering blow.


    Onitsuka Ryuji and the girl he was holding stared in disbelief.


    Especially Onitsuka Ryuji.


    He could hardly believe Charlie possessed such immense strength, and witnessing the four men being so easily dispatched felt like a kick to his own pride.


    In a panic, he pulled out a small dagger from his pocket and pressed it against the girl’s neck, stammering, “You, you… Stay back! Or I swear I’ll kill her!”


    Charlie replied coldly, “Let her go now, and I won’t harm or insult you.”


    Onitsuka Ryuji’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope in the midst of his panic.


    Just as he was about to ask if Charlie’s words were genuine, Charlie continued, “All I require is your right arm as punishment. That way, you’ll still have at least one arm left for the future.”


    “What?!” Onitsuka Ryuji nearly lost hisposure.


    Not hitting or scolding me, just wanting my right arm?!


    Is this guy a devil?!


    Charlie, maintaining his serious demeanor, added, “I’m offering you a chance; however, if you resist further, I’ll take both your arms, leaving you unable to even use the toilet properly! I’ll count to three; think it over!”
