Chapter 131: Guidance

"Bald Liang," I began, my voice dripping with scorn, "weren't you issuing threats? Wasn't this supposed to continue? Let's finish this then. I shall grant your wish."

With that, I raised the eighth beer bottle, poised to strike his head again. But, just as the bottle reached mid-air, a "thump" echoed. Bald Liang had abruptly fallen to his knees. His face, marred by blood and contorted with pain, was turned towards me, his eyes closed. His voice, a pathetic whimper: "I surrender! Please stop! I yield!"

I scoffed. Seven bottles, and he gives up?

Holding the beer bottle against his chin, I sneered. "Is this your surrender? Your defiance finally broken?"

"Master Lupan, I surrender. I yield! I will cease my resistance!"

"Speak louder; I couldn't hear you."

"Master Lupan! I, Bald Liang, concede. You are magnificent—you are the master!" He bellowed his submission.
