Chapter 581 Stay Humble
None of the youngsters spoke, but their expressions had already written the answer for all to see, especially a few who had previously tried to escape and were dragged back by Xiao Yi. They were filled with hatred, but they also knew that this skinny guy was a terrifying person, at least when it ca to fighting, he was very skilled. So wisely, they lowered their heads to avoid letting Xiao Yi see the hatred on their faces.
"Are you thinking that once I leave, you’ll harshly teach Wang Xiaohu and the others a lesson? You must make them pay dearly? To return the humiliation you suffered today tenfold, a hundredfold?"
Xiao Yi suddenly said.
Whoosh!
The fatty and the group of youngsters all shook violently, suddenly lifting their heads, looking at Xiao Yi with faces full of shock and fear. They had never expected that Xiao Yi could see right through their inner thoughts—they indeed had those thoughts.
This ti, they had been humiliated to their grandmother’s ho, and it was almost certain that they would no longer be able to mix in at No. 16 Middle School. How could they continue after performing like dogs, barking and crawling in front of so many people?
In their hearts, they hated Xiao Yi and Situ Qingfeng to the bone. But these two people, they didn’t know their backstories, didn’t know whether they could get revenge. Hence, they turned that hatred towards Wang Xiaohu and others, who were the instigators. In their hearts, each was clenching their teeth, having already devised N ways to tornt and take revenge on Wang Xiaohu and his associates in the future.
Their eyes were filled with fear and caution, carefully watching Xiao Yi, afraid of what he might do.
"Don’t worry, as long as you honestly fulfill this bet, I won’t lay hands on you."
Seeing their fearful expressions, Xiao Yi waved his hand and smiled, his tone becoming gentler, "Have you ever thought about what it would be like if it was you who had won earlier, and it was us who lost?"
After finishing his words, Xiao Yi didn’t wait for their response and directly laughed, revealing the answer. However, the answer took them all by surprise.
"We wouldn’t have honored the bet at all."
Everyone looked at Xiao Yi in astonishnt, wearing incredulous expressions, not understanding what he was trying to say. He had just been speaking righteously about making them honor their bets, and now he was saying, if he had lost, he wouldn’t have honored it?
"Is this answer so surprising?"
Xiao Yi looked at their expressions, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, with a hint of mockery in his tone, "Shouldn’t this be the least bit unexpected to you? If I hadn’t co today, and it wasn’t you were betting with, would you have honored the bet if you lost?"
"Don’t make that face, don’t say that if I hadn’t co, you wouldn’t have lost. Today, you might not lose at playing gas, but what about other bets? Like academic scores? You can’t guarantee that you’ll win everything, right? Even if you have powerful fathers, mothers, family backgrounds, you surely have many things you’re not as good at as others. Stepping back a bit, have you never lost a bet before? Have you never regretted a bet you made?"
Xiao Yi’s words instantly caused the fatty and others, who were just about to say sothing to refute Xiao Yi, to stiffen, their words choked back.
Xiao Yi was right; they hadn’t just done it once but many tis... It seed like every ti, they directly backed out of the bet, and no one dared to do anything to them...
It seems now... what Xiao Yi is doing is simply their usual thod, just that for the first ti it’s been turned back on them. They indeed don’t have much to say, but why do they feel as if they’ve swallowed a fly, feeling so uncomfortable?
"I’m not wrong, am I? The one with the bigger fists has the truth—that’s your logic, as well as mine."
Xiao Yi laughed, "Let’s drop this topic, it’s getting off track.".
"Back to the matters of reality."
Xiao Yi waved his hand, his gaze briefly landing on Young Master Wang, who looked pensive. A flicker of admiration passed through his eyes. He smiled and continued, "You think it’s easy to retaliate against Wang Xiaohu and his gang, because your fists are much bigger than theirs, your fists are your family and background. With these, you can make their lives miserable, much worse than yours right now."
"That’s a fact, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t protect them forever, but have you ever considered what if one day, one of them can’t stand your tornt and revenge, or your revenge crosses their limit, and they stab you, or even your whole family? What would the consequences be?"
Listening to Xiao Yi’s words, all the youngsters’ faces shook with emotion.
Such incidents had recently beco not uncommon, frequently appearing in newspapers and on TV news; absolutely not impossible!
Without waiting for them to digest the words and give their answer, Xiao Yi continued.
"I’ll tell you, in that case, he might die, or if he’s luckier, he might end up in jail and still keep his life. But you, you would definitely be dead. You won’t get to enjoy anything you have now! In the worst-case scenario, for them, it’s a life for a life. Their lives are already hard, having to put up with your bullying and a lot of injustice. The high-end gaming consoles you can enjoy, they can’t afford. They want to travel, they can’t afford to go, and sotis they can’t even afford to eat at the McDonald’s you disdain. Your lives are rich lives; you live in high-end residences, ride in luxury cars, and your futures are probably arranged, and most importantly, after taking your life, they could vent their anger. To them, this deal is undoubtedly worth it!"
"I’ve done the math for you here in between. As to what you should do, that’s for you to think about."
"I just hope you make the right choice."
"Another piece of advice—I counsel all of you. Today, my friend and I could take you down, and tomorrow, others can take you down too. In this world, no one can always be on top. It’s better to remain humble in life!"
Xiao Yi slowly withdrew his smile, said a few cold words, his look sowhat distant as he glanced at the several youngsters. Then, turning his head, he left without looking back. Seeing the serious expression on the fatty’s face, he knew that his purpose for today’s words had likely been achieved.
