The Male Protagonist Has Become A Gangster?

"I will avenge this humiliation one day!"

Long Tian continued drinking, emptying one glass after another. His body radiated hostility, and his frustration was palpable.

Before returning to China, his life had been smooth sailing—he had never encountered a real setback. But ever since coming back, obstacles had appeared one after another.

His pride and self-esteem couldn't accept such a reality.

"Hmph! Yao Huaimeng, you are no longer worthy of being my wife. At best, you can only be my mistress!"

Long Tian had already made up his mind—Yao Huaimeng had lost her qualifications to be his wife in name. At most, she could remain in his life as a secret lover.

He even imagined a scenario where Yao Huaimeng would regret everything in the future.

With that thought, Long Tian let out a sneering chuckle.

The bartender mixing his drink glanced at him, visibly speechless.

If not for the money, he would have walked away long ago.

His face keeps changing expressions—could he be a lunatic?

"Should I start leveraging the connections I built in the past?"

Long Tian recalled the network he had established during his mercenary days.

To be honest, he was reluctant to use those connections. They were far too valuable.

Meanwhile, one or two women in the bar were trying to get close to him.

After all, he was the protagonist—naturally, some women would be drawn to him.

But Long Tian merely cast them a disdainful glance.

"Do you think this kind of common riffraff is worthy of my attention?"

In his mind, only breathtaking beauties—capable of toppling kingdoms—deserved his gaze.

"Where could I possibly find such a woman in a bar like this?"

Scoffing, Long Tian downed another drink.

Once he was satisfied, he considered taking a few of these women with him.

After all, he had been back for quite some time—it was only natural to indulge himself.

But just as he placed his glass down, his eyes widened in shock.

"What a stunning beauty!"

It was Qu Yingmeng, walking out of the restroom.

She immediately noticed his intense gaze and, recognizing who he was, frowned slightly.

Without a word, she quickened her pace, wanting nothing to do with him.

Perhaps emboldened by alcohol, Long Tian didn't hesitate.

He stood up and walked over, blocking her path.

"Miss, let's get to know each other. My name is Long Tian."

His tone was still as arrogant as ever.

"I'm not interested. Get out of my way!"

Qu Yingmeng hadn't expected to be harassed by Long Tian. She took a half-step back, trying to avoid him.

"Relax, beautiful! There's no harm in getting acquainted."

Such a fiery woman—she had to be his.

Long Tian was determined to take her.

The bar, which had been quiet moments ago, suddenly turned chaotic.

"What's going on?"

Ye Liuyun, who had been sipping his drink, was momentarily stunned.

[Is that Qu Yingmeng?]

Noticing her in the crowd, he put down his glass and walked over.

"Sir, if you persist, we'll have no choice but to call the police!"

By the time Ye Liuyun arrived, several security guards had already been taken down.

Long Tian had dealt with them effortlessly.

Previously, he might have been concerned about such threats.

But now—fueled by alcohol—he didn't care.

"I only wanted to introduce myself to this young lady. You were the ones who attacked first. I simply retaliated in self-defense!"

Long Tian saw nothing wrong with his actions.

[What is going on here? The thug turned out to be the hero himself?]

Ye Liuyun blinked, confused.

To be honest, he no longer understood the plot at all.

At that moment, Qu Yingmeng noticed Ye Liuyun approaching.

"Liuyun!"

Before Ye Liuyun could process the situation, she ran straight into his arms.

"Uh…"

[Wait, what?]

Ye Liuyun barely had time to react before she pressed against him.

The intoxicating fragrance nearly overwhelmed him.

"You again!"

Long Tian, who had been domineering and arrogant moments ago, instantly darkened.

His woman had just thrown herself into another man's arms.

But the moment he recognized Ye Liuyun, his expression turned even uglier.

How could he forget?

Wasn't this the same bodyguard who had humiliated him last time?

[What the hell is happening?]

[This is a mess!]

[The promised little gangster turned out to be the hero himself?]

[Whatever, let the protagonist be the protagonist. It won't affect my plans anyway!]

After quickly assessing the situation, Ye Liuyun cleared his throat.

"Ahem! It's you again!"

He placed a protective hand on Qu Yingmeng's back, shielding her.

Surprisingly, the usually independent and composed woman leaned into his protection without any resistance.

"It seems like you didn't learn your lesson last time!"

Smoothing out his cuffs, Ye Liuyun's expression turned sharp.

"Ha!"

Long Tian let out a mocking laugh, his anger shifting into open contempt.

"You really think you're a match for me?"

Sure, his last encounter had been embarrassing, but he knew the truth—

He had merely underestimated his opponent.

Once he got serious, Ye Liuyun wouldn't stand a chance.

"Is that so?"

[You don't seriously think I'm the same as before, do you?]

[Let me introduce you to the Liuku Immortal Thief technique!]

Hearing his inner voice, Qu Yingmeng and the others—who had been worried—suddenly felt at ease.

That's right! Ye Liuyun had a cheat ability!

"Today, I'll make sure you learn your place!"

With old and new grievances piling up, Long Tian charged forward, ready to strike.

"Bajiquan—Iron Mountain Lean!"

"Bang!"

Before Long Tian could even reach him, he was sent flying across the bar.

Mid-air, his mind went blank.

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I flying?

Ye Liuyun, however, remained unfazed.

With the Liuku Immortal Thief technique enhancing his physique, his Bajiquan strikes were more devastating than ever.
