The first strike is not enough to bring me down

Jin Shi laughed mockingly as he looked at Basen and his friends, saying:

"Did you come here for something so trivial? You've wasted my time. I could have spent it on something more useful."

Basen's expression darkened with anger, and he rushed toward him, slapping him hard across the face, causing Jin Shi's head to turn to the side. But he showed no pain.

"Shut up, you insolent brat! You talk as if you're a gang leader!"

Jin Shi turned back to look at him, his mocking smile never fading, then said coolly:

"Untie me, and I'll show you who the real leader is."

Basen glanced at his friends, as if waiting for their response, then sneered:

"In your dreams!"

But his friend Rudger, the calmest among them, took slow steps forward and said confidently:

"It's fine. He's just a kid, and we're four. He won't be able to do anything."

Basen stared at him for a moment before waving his hand dismissively and saying:

"Alright, untie him. Let's see what this arrogant brat can do."

They all burst into loud laughter, but Jin Shi laughed along with them, just as loudly, which only made them angrier.

They felt that his laughter was an insult, as if he was belittling them.

Finally, they untied him.

The moment Jin Shi was freed, he moved with lightning speed, not giving them a chance to react.

He delivered a powerful punch straight to Basen's face, making him stumble backward, then swiftly turned and struck Rudger in the stomach.

Rudger let out a sharp gasp of pain and collapsed to his knees.

They hadn't expected him to be this strong, and for a moment, they exchanged glances before one of them lunged at him from behind.

But Jin Shi was ready.

He quickly ducked to avoid the attack and then shoved his attacker forcefully, sending him crashing to the ground.

Rudger, still struggling with pain, managed to grab a metal rod lying nearby and swung it fiercely at Jin Shi's back.

A faint gasp escaped Jin Shi's lips, but he didn't collapse immediately. Instead, he turned around and gave him a cold, piercing stare.

The blow was strong enough to make him lose balance slightly.

At that moment, Basen seized the opportunity and kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Standing over him, panting, Basen then shouted angrily:

"You damn brat! Did you really think you could defeat us?!"

"You're just the son of a criminal! You'll end up just like your father!"

He lifted his foot, preparing to stomp on him again.

But before he could, Jin Shi slowly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a strange, chilling light.

Despite the blood on his lips, he smirked mockingly and said in a calm voice:

"Is that all you've got?"
