Chapter 027：Invincible Courage

A furious shout disrupted everyone in the internet café, creating a suffocating tension.

Jay's face turned grim, and Rex and Dave exchanged nervous glances. Though young and hot-blooded, they weren't seasoned fighters. Facing over a dozen guys, it was natural to feel fear.

"Dave, Rex, you guys don't need to get involved. I was the one who kicked him. Worst case, I'll just take the beating. It's not like they'll kill me," Jay said, showing his loyalty, ready to take responsibility alone.

While Jay spoke, the gang had already surrounded them. Maggie, frightened, shouted, "Stay away, or I'll call the police!"

"Damn it, grab her phone! Don't let them call the cops. I'm going to mess them up today!" The thug leader roared and swung a slap at Jay's face.

He assumed no one would dare to stop him, confident with his backup. But to his surprise, just as his slap was inches from Jay's face, a powerful hand grabbed his arm, immobilizing him no matter how hard he tried to break free.

"Damn it, you dare fight back?"

"Why wouldn't I? You're attacking my friend; you didn't even ask for my opinion," Arthur replied firmly.

"Who the hell do you think you are—"

"Bam!"

Before the thug could finish, Arthur's kick sent him flying three meters, rolling several times on the ground. With a strength score of 19, double that of an average person, Arthur's kick was devastating.

"Damn it! He hit our brother! Get them!" Another thug with a buzz cut charged at Arthur.

Arthur didn't back down but charged at the gang alone. With physical attributes double that of a normal person, Arthur's combat effectiveness was far beyond ordinary.

Arthur's fighting style wasn't refined—he simply traded blows directly. His toughness and strength made his punches excruciating for his opponents, while he could take their hits with little pain. He was both resilient and powerful, turning him into a fearsome force.

Onlookers watched in astonishment as Arthur, seemingly not particularly muscular, took on the gang of more than ten men single-handedly and even had the upper hand. Though the gang numbered twelve, only about half actively fought, the rest were there for show.

Arthur's ferocity resembled a tiger among sheep. Rex, seeing Arthur's bravery, joined the fray, shouting, "Arthur, don't worry, I'm here too. They think they can outnumber us? Not on my watch!"

"Damn it, if Arthur and Rex are this tough, what am I scared of? I'm in!" Dave followed suit.

Jay joined in last. The trouble started because of him, and now that his roommates were fighting, he couldn't stay out of it, especially with Maggie watching.

With his roommates' help, Arthur fought even more ferociously. Though initially at a disadvantage, having support allowed him to fight more aggressively. Within minutes, the gang was subdued, lying on the ground.

The spectators were stunned.

"Who is this guy? He's insanely strong, taking on over ten guys alone!"

"Impressive. I should have recorded this!"

"If they had weapons, let's see if he'd still be this tough."

"Come on, admit he's strong without downplaying it!"

"Arthur, you're amazing!" Maggie's eyes sparkled with admiration, filled with pink hearts. She didn't expect Arthur to be both rich and a formidable fighter. His bravery was etched into her memory,she thinks Una is such a fool for not appreciating such a perfect man.

Meanwhile, Xanthe was equally stunned, her admiration for Arthur growing to infatuation. Arthur wasn't just brave but also responsible, handling a problem that his roommate caused without blaming anyone. Such a dependable man, who was also handsome and wealthy, was not someone she could afford to lose.

With his increased agility, Arthur felt more nimble, convinced he could handle any future confrontation with even greater ease.
