Chapter 22: Compared to You, Satan Seems Like an Angel

In America, it's actually quite hard to distinguish whether someone is homeless or not.

When a homeless person sits in front of a tent, their identity is obvious.

They have no fixed abode, forced to dwell in tents, barely surviving on the streets.

However, living on the streets doesn't mean these individuals have no standards for themselves.

They may be extremely destitute, having given up hope for a better life, but not all homeless people neglect their appearance.

Sani, the neighbor of Cheng Daqi, has always been concerned about this.

It's a very positive attitude, showing she hasn't given up on herself.

But on streets like Red Street, where homeless people gather, an overly prominent and clean appearance becomes a burden.

Sani's appearance has also become a kind of danger.

In the past, she would act together with Cheng Daqi, providing an additional layer of security.

Today at noon, Cheng Daqi forgot about going to beg with Sani while having lunch with Lisa.

It wasn't until he was queuing for dinner that he remembered.

"Sani, are you okay being alone here at noon?"

Rolling her eyes, Sani replied without a word.

"Cheng, what do you take me for? I'm not some little kid who still needs their dad to change diapers!"

She had an attitude.

The development of the story requires logic.

The absurdity and unpredictability of reality never follow logic.

Like the bottle of vinegar in India, where a customer asked for a little extra vinegar with his noodles and ended up being killed by the boss.

In America, the absurdity never needs an explanation.

Sani's words might have triggered something sensitive.

A black man in the queue heard it and went straight to the black girl who was looking at her phone.

He was about one and a half times the size of Cheng Daqi and only slightly shorter.

"Hey beauty, what's cooking?"

His face was full of lecherous grins, his eyes shamelessly scanning Sani's entire body.

Although Sani's neighbor was plain-looking, she was Cheng Daqi's friend.

To a black man, even without embellishment, Sani could be considered a beauty.

"Fuck, but I need to cut it first. You want to try?"

In less than a second, before Cheng Daqi could react, Sani had already drawn a knife from her waist,

Take action if you dare, die first, worry later.

On the streets of America, if you're not tough, why bother living?

Either be tough on yourself, endure what others can't endure, like doughnuts, lecturers,

Or be tough on others, dare to confront offenses, just like Sani wielding her knife right now.

Sani's knife was raised so swiftly.

"B***h, you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Cheng Daqi stepped forward.

Iron Mountain Push, one of the simplest street fighting techniques.

This guy was too strong, Cheng Daqi was worried he wouldn't be able to break through his defense with just punches, so he used Iron Mountain Push as a surprise attack.

After all, Cheng Daqi just liked to work out, he had learned a few simple combat techniques, not some returning king of soldiers.

For novices, it's recommended to only use it at the beginning of a fight, as a starting move for a sneak attack.

The recoil from Iron Mountain Push is too strong, it's easy to lose your balance in a fight after using it.

One Iron Mountain Push, and Cornell was knocked off balance.

He instinctively swung his fist, wanting to smash this yellow monkey to pieces.

But Cheng Daqi came prepared.

An important principle in street fighting is never stop.

As long as the enemy hasn't lost the ability to resist, you mustn't stop!

For novices, the technique isn't important, as long as you get the advantage with a surprise attack, continue to strike swiftly.

Chaos beats the old master, martial arts is about speed and strength.

As long as you're fast enough, the opponent won't be able to respond.

Strike fast and hard, until the opponent's head is dizzy and swollen, then you win.

In dangerous situations, just aim for the lower body first, the most important thing is to survive.

Cheng Daqi wasn't very knowledgeable about fighting, but he wasn't a complete novice.

Don't give Cornell a chance to gather strength.

When this big guy started to use his right arm to push forward, Cheng Daqi immediately entangled his right arm.

A handy trick in street fighting, while entangled, use your left hand to control the opponent's right hand.

You can lock their right hand with your arm or simply hold it with your hand.

Locking the enemy's right hand means you can use your right hand to fight against their left hand.

Even novices can master this one trick, which is enough to win most street fights at the same level.

After confirming the lock on his hand was secure, Cheng Daqi seized the right moment when Cornell charged forward with his right arm.

Using the opponent's force against him.

With a light step of his left foot, he propped against Cornell's foot.

Let's go!

"Boom!"

The sound of a heavy body hitting the ground was extremely distinctive.

With a bit of crispness and a full sense of heaviness.

Iron Mountain Push + Incomplete Shoulder Throw.

Take down!

Red Street never lacks fights and brawls, never lacks them.

There might even be several in one day.

The police would intervene, but they usually arrived late.
