Seeing the seven or eight thugs rush towards Wu Tian, the old grandmother could barely stand steady.
Zhou Qian supported her and said, "Grandma, don't be scared. Wu Tian will be fine."
Zhou Qian had no doubt about Wu Tian's combat power anymore.
After all, Wu Tian was someone who could bring down the Xia family, so how could he be defeated by these few thugs?
In fact, Wu Tian did not fail her trust.
Wu Tian took off at full speed, then darted into the group of thugs and, in a few swift moves, knocked them all down.
The thugs fell to the ground, writhing in pain, crying and wailing. Tears even streamed down their faces.
They were usually bullies who picked on the weak and feared the strong. Their actual combat strength was very low, so naturally, they were no match for Wu Tian.
After dealing with the thugs, Wu Tian walked up to their leader.
He said coldly, "Hey, can we talk now?"
The thug leader was taken aback by Wu Tian's ferocity and was instantly too scared to move.
He stammered, "Y-you... Who are you?"
Wu Tian replied coldly, "Is that any of your business?"
"You just need to answer my question. Can we talk now?"
The thug leader's world was confined to the village. Although there were occasional fights with people from neighboring villages, they usually had their wins and losses. He had never been beaten like this before.
Moreover, Wu Tian was alone!
Looking at Wu Tian's indifferent expression, the thug leader was very scared.
Fearing that Wu Tian might do something to him, he quickly said, "D-don't hurt me!"
"I'm telling you, I work for Boss Zhu. If you dare touch me, Boss Zhu will never let you go!"
"Boss Zhu?" Wu Tian asked, "Who is Boss Zhu?"
The thug leader said, "Boss Zhu is the boss of our village."
"He controls all the pork business in the village, and he's even killed someone!"
"If you cross me, you're crossing Boss Zhu, and Boss Zhu will definitely chop you to death!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian chuckled coldly. "Boss Zhu, Boss Gou, what nonsense. So, he's just a village bully who butchers pigs."
"What era is this? There are still village bullies. How interesting."
He continued, "In that case, I'll do a good deed and punish evil today."
"Now, call your Boss Zhu over. Tell him I don't like him and I'm here to clear his territory."
"What did you say?!" Wu Tian's words shocked the thug leader.
He said incredulously, "Kid, do you know what you're saying?"
"If these words reach Boss Zhu's ears, he will absolutely not let you go!"
Wu Tian said indifferently, "I never expected him to let me go. But when it comes down to it, who will let whom go is still uncertain."
This was the first time the thug leader had ever seen someone dare to speak to Boss Zhu like that.
Boss Zhu had always been his idol. His dream was to become like Boss Zhu, to make everyone in the village fear him.
So, he naturally couldn't tolerate Wu Tian's demand.
He said angrily, "Good kid, you've got guts! If you dare, don't run. I'll go call Boss Zhu right now, and you can wait to die!"
Wu Tian said, "You talk too much. Just go when I tell you to, why are you babbling so much?"
"However, before you go..."
At this point, Wu Tian paused, then coldly waved his hand. A surge of spiritual energy instantly struck the thug leader's arm.
The thug leader stiffened, then cried out in pain, clutching his arm.
Wu Tian had already broken his bones. His right arm was essentially useless.
Wu Tian said without any pity, "If you're going to call the boss, it's better to make it look convincing."
"Otherwise, your boss might not believe you."
The thug leader screamed for a while, almost passing out.
He hadn't expected Wu Tian to be so ruthless, directly breaking his arm.
Hatred instantly filled his heart. He gritted his teeth and looked at Wu Tian, saying, "You just wait, I will definitely get revenge for this today!"
With that, he scrambled to his feet, cradled his arm, and stumbled away.
Afterward, Wu Tian walked back to the old grandmother and asked with concern, "Grandma, are you alright? Were you scared?"
The old grandmother said anxiously, "Wu Tian, listen to Grandma, hurry up and leave, don't stay here anymore!"
"That Boss Zhu in the village is very powerful. Even the village chief is afraid of him!"
"And he was sentenced to twenty years for murder. We can't afford to offend someone like that!"
"You go first. I'm an old woman here, and he definitely won't touch me!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Oh, Grandma, you don't need to worry about such small matters."
"No matter who he calls, it's nothing to me."
"Besides, shouldn't village bullies be eliminated in the first place?"
"If I get rid of him, won't our village be much more peaceful?"
Zhou Qian also comforted him, "Yes, Grandma, just trust Wu Tian. No one in this world can defeat Wu Tian."
"With Wu Tian here, everything will be fine."
The old grandmother wanted to say more, but seeing how confident Wu Tian and Zhou Qian were, she didn't say anything further.
More than ten minutes later, the thug leader ran back.
Behind him followed a burly man with his chest bare.
This man was covered in hair, looking like a gorilla.
He also held a pig-slaughtering knife in his hand, clearly a fierce individual.
This was Boss Zhu.
Upon seeing the thugs lying on the ground, he immediately exclaimed in a gruff voice, "What happened? Who did this!"
The thug leader pointed at Wu Tian and shouted, "Boss, it's him, he did it!"
Boss Zhu glanced at Wu Tian, then frowned, "There are still people here. Why is it just one person? Did they all run away?"
The thug leader said without thinking, "No."
"Uh, B-Boss, it's just him!"
"Just him?" Boss Zhu immediately became displeased.
He looked at the thug leader and said, "What do you mean? Are you saying that all of you were taken down by him alone?"
The thug leader finally sensed something was wrong, his face stiffening as he said, "Y-yes!"
"A bunch of trash!" Boss Zhu immediately slapped the thug leader across the face.
