The man was none other than Arkin, the thug from the Nightingale Bar who had caused trouble for Lin Yun twice.

The first time, he had been the leader of a gang.

Not the second time though.

In fact, the second time, Lin Yun could tell that this man did not seem too keen on fighting him again, only doing so under the orders of Brother Tiger. According to him, he had even tried to convince Brother Tiger not to attack him any more.

But why was this man here?

Though, relatively speaking, he did possess some strength compared to ordinary people.

In his and his bodyguards' eyes, that didn't mean much.

"Brother Jin, you're finally here!"

"Brother Jin, this man offended Brother Chang. They say he's quite a tough one, but with you here, he'll definitely be beaten to the ground looking for his teeth!"

No one from the crowd noticed anything amiss, and when Arkin arrived, they cheered happily.

They had witnessed Arkin's strength before.

Now, Arkin was invited by Wang Wenchang to handle this matter. In their eyes, Arkin had a good chance of gaining a high position, so they naturally wanted to curry favor with him early on.

However, hearing these flattering words, Arkin was both startled and angry.

He never suspected that the person these men wanted him to deal with was Lin Yun.

This was the result of him not asking about the target's name.

Were these people trying to get him killed?

They wanted him to confront Lin Yun!

As if he could beat Lin Yun into the ground. He'd be lucky if Lin Yun didn't do the same to him!

His arm, which was currently in a cast, was the result of Lin Yun's beating, and it still hadn't healed!

If he'd known earlier that these men wanted him to take on Lin Yun, he would have never shown up!

He knew very well how strong Lin Yun was!

Regardless of their numbers here, with sixty or so men, even if they doubled, it wouldn't make a difference!

"You are the 'expert' they brought in?" Lin Yun asked, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, you promised me! No more fighting!" The young girl standing next to Arkin hadn't noticed anything amiss either. Hearing what the others said, she pulled at Arkin's arm worriedly.

Lin Yun stared at the girl in surprise.

Why would someone who came for a fight bring a girl along?

However, listening to the girl's words, he quickly understood. It seemed this girl was probably Arkin's sister, who didn't want him to fight, and had come today to persuade him not to.

Lin Yun remained silent.

This scene reminded him of his childhood.

He had been trained in martial arts from a young age and was always getting into fights. During those times, his sister would stand behind him, pleading with him to stop fighting.

.

"No, no…" Arkin couldn't be bothered with the girl at his side and quickly shook his head.

However, he realized what he said might give the wrong impression, and urgently explained, "I didn't know that you were the one they wanted me to go up against. If I had known, I would never have dared."

Seeing this unfolding, the crowd was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Arkin was actually afraid of Lin Yun?

"Arkin, what's going on?" Seeing this, Wang Wenchang frowned.

"Huh?" The girl by Arkin's side was also stunned.

She had never seen her brother afraid of anyone before.

Thinking this, she raised her head to look at Lin Yun.

Was he looking at her?

The girl blushed slightly and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

But, she still managed to get a good look.

He was young, good-looking, and… quite handsome. He didn't seem much older than her.

There was nothing about him that was intimidating, but she wondered why her brother was so afraid of him.

She was slightly puzzled.

"This has nothing to do with my sister, if you want to punish someone, punish me." As soon as Arkin noticed Lin Yun looking at his sister, his face changed dramatically and he anxiously said.

Meanwhile, he swiftly moved his sister behind him.

Needless to say, the girl was quite attractive. Although she wasn't as stunning as Xia Qingqing or Lin Mengmeng, she was not far behind. Her exceptionally fair complexion added a touch of vulnerability to her posture.

You couldn't help but want to protect her.

"Seems like this 'expert' isn't reliable at all? He hasn't even started, and is already surrendering. Are the two of them in it together?" one of Wang Wenchang's men said sarcastically.

He wasn't present when Wang Wenchang tested Arkin's skills. He was annoyed when he saw that many of his peers were sucking up to Arkin. His own strength was not bad, and he was usually able to take on three or four people without any problems.

He wasn't going to take it lying down when the glory that he once claimed was now being claimed by someone else.

Taking this opportunity, he started mocking Arkin.

Wang Wenchang was also displeased with Arkin.

He didn't understand why Arkin was so afraid of Lin Yun and suspected that Arkin and Lin Yun could be in collusion, after hearing his men.

It wasn't impossible. Both of them were skilled individuals and might have gotten acquainted somewhere.

As for why Arkin was afraid of Lin Yun, he didn't want to think too much about it.

At this point, Arkin's attitude was getting on Wang Wenchang's nerves.

If he'd known that this so-called expert was going to create such a mess, he wouldn't have involved him at all.

Currently, all he wanted to do was eliminate the trouble quickly and take care of Lin Yun first.

They were a group of sixty people here, and the dozen or so people behind him were willing to fight. He didn't believe they couldn't take Lin Yun down.

Last time, Arkin had managed to knock out five or six of his men with one arm. As far as he was concerned, this was because they did not use weapons.

They were all human beings, and no matter how good someone's martial arts might be, the difference wouldn't be that much if they started using weapons, right?

Immediately, Wang Wenchang snorted coldly and said, "Since you won't choose either option, it seems you prefer punishment over a polite warning. Everyone, get him! If he's killed or crippled, I'll take responsibility."

As he finished, he looked at the crowd.

"Yes, Brother Chang!"

"Brother Chang, just watch us!"

"If we can't beat this little boy till he shits himself, I'll eat shit!"

The crowd jeered and rushed toward Lin Yun.

Many of them knew that Lin Yun was tough, while others did not.

For those unaware of Lin Yun's strength, they saw him as just a regular boy. With them rushing him all at once, wouldn't they be able to knock him down instantly?

If they didn't take advantage of this perfect opportunity to show off, when would they?

"Ah?"

Seeing this, the girl next to Arkin couldn't help but cover her mouth and scream in surprise.

She knew her brother was a good fighter, but even he couldn't handle so many people.

Seeing so many people rushing toward the boy, her heart tightened in worry for his safety.

"Brother, you need to help him!" The girl tugged hastily at Arkin's sleeve.

"Arkin, you were hired by me. Even if you don't step in, you shouldn't be helping the other side." Wang Wenchang had been observing them, and hearing the girl's words, he immediately turned around, looked at Arkin, and said.

He knew that Arkin was skilled. If he did step in to help Lin Yun, coupled with Lin Yun's strength, things might get complicated for them.
