Chapter 37: The Bounty Hunter's Circle (Part 1)
Linda struck first, still a beautiful high kick, but this time her leg didn't hit anyone. The black man's body was slightly shorter, and he lightly swept Linda's left leg that was supporting her body, causing Linda to lose her balance and fall directly to the ground.
Zhou Jian secretly shook his head, although he didn't quite understand fighting, but he also knew that in a fight, it's taboo to kick your legs too high. It may look pretty, but the center of gravity is unstable, and it's easy for the opponent to grab the kicked leg or directly sweep you down.
After Linda was knocked down, the black man let out a strange cry and his legs moved quickly. Linda rolled over and got up, but instead of rushing forward blindly, she observed for a moment before attacking from the side of the black man.
However, the result was still that the black man let Linda's attack pass, and with a push, Linda fell to the ground again.
At this time, Linda only felt that she was like a little kid fighting an adult man, any attack was ineffective against him, the gap in strength was too big.
Linda had a defiant spirit in her heart, she jumped forward and launched a sweeping kick at the black man's lower body, this time she was more clever, lowering her center of gravity, no matter what, she wouldn't fall down.
However, what she didn't expect was that after her leg swept up, the black man stood there as if nothing had happened, while her leg felt like it had been swept against an iron plate, hurting so much that it almost broke.
Are this man's legs made of iron? Linda bit back a cry, she could tell her shins were already black and blue.
The black man mimicked Linda's previous action, stretching out his index finger and shaking it slowly at Linda with an extremely arrogant expression.
This time, even Zhou Jian felt a little unbearable. People who practice legwork have been kicking sandbags since childhood, and after getting stronger, they start kicking trees. The thick tree trunks that are hugged by two people will lose a circle of bark after being kicked for a few days. Ordinary people would swell their legs if they kick twice, let alone compare with them. Linda is after all Chu Qingyun's friend, and this time she came to the underground bank to lead the way for herself. Although the two had a dispute over the Huaxia civilization, he couldn't bear to see her being bullied.
He walked over and helped Linda up, saying "Stop fighting."
Then he also ignored Linda's opposition and said to the black man in English: "We admit defeat, let's end this here."
The black man was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Alright, alright, I admit defeat. Just let your woman keep me company tonight and we're square."
Zhou Jian furrowed his brow and asked Linda in Chinese, "What did that guy say?"
Linda glared at Zhou Jian with a mixture of resentment and anger in her voice, "What's the use of you understanding? You don't exercise normally, now that you're being bullied to your own doorstep, do you think we can just admit defeat and leave?"
Zhou Jian was depressed. What the hell did he have to do with this? After entering the underground bank, no one had provoked him, and he was shot while lying down.
Three white men saw Linda complaining about her boyfriend not being manly, while Zhou Jian didn't dare to speak up, excitedly shouting and using derogatory terms like "gook" and "aman" for Chinese people and Asians. Although they couldn't understand the Chinese language, they could tell that Zhou Jian was Chinese.
The term "Gook" is similar to how Chinese people refer to Westerners as "Yangguizi" or "Da Yangma", but the essence is different. When Chinese people use these terms, they are somewhat envious, rather than derogatory. For example, when someone says "So-and-so married a Da Yangma" or "So-and-so has a Yangguizi husband", the speaker's intention is to add humor to their tone, not to express malice, and they would not say it in front of Westerners unless they wanted to cause offense. However, Westerners are different; despite advocating for racial equality, they have an innate sense of superiority.
To put it another way, when a poor person calls a rich person a "nouveau riche", it's not necessarily an insult, but rather envy. On the other hand, if a rich person calls a poor person a "pauper", it's outright contempt.
These three Americans called Zhou Jian like that at this time and scene, making Zhou Jian a little angry, but he endured it and didn't take action, because the twenty-eight diamonds on his body would be very troublesome if something unexpected happened.
But the next few words from the three white men thoroughly enraged Zhou Jian, they said: "Yellow-skinned pig, do you know why women in your country like American men? Because American men's dicks are bigger, haha, go back home, sick man of Asia!"
This sentence is too vicious, even Linda was stunned for a moment, turned her head and glanced at Zhou Jian. Sick man of Asia, a term considered shameful by the Chinese people, although history has passed for hundreds of years, but because of Hollywood movies, Americans have not forgotten it, thinking about it and using it to mock, while the Chinese people will certainly not forget either.
Linda could feel Zhou Jian's anger, but she couldn't think of what this thin and small boy could do to fight back in this situation. Rushing up would definitely get him beaten badly, but at least that would be manly, if he shrank into a turtle, the physical pain would be avoided, but he would lose face for the Chinese people!
The crowd's gaze also focused on Zhou Jian, they all wanted to see how this man would end up being beaten or eating a loss.
Linda gritted her teeth and said to Zhou Jian: "If you're a man, come with me and charge forward, I'll fight with you."
She hadn't finished speaking when Zhou Jian suddenly disappeared from her side. Linda felt a flash before her eyes, and it seemed that Zhou Jian had stepped right in front of the shouting American in just one step.
Then he raised his fist from below and slammed a punch on the white man's jaw.
"Boom!" The dull sound of the skeleton's impact, this punch was solid and real. The onlookers hadn't even realized what had happened when they saw the 1.9-meter-tall white giant being knocked flying by that one punch from Aman.
Zhou Jian took a slight step back, and with a precise aerial side kick, he kicked the white giant's abdomen. A loud cry was heard, and the white giant, weighing over 100 kilograms, flew out like a sack of flour with Zhou Jian's effortless kick.
Everyone only heard a loud sound of flesh hitting the ground, and the white big man was kicked out four or five meters away, rolling over and over. At this time, he lay on the ground like a dead pig, with fresh blood at the corner of his mouth.
The onlookers were all stunned, and Linda couldn't believe her eyes. This completely overturned her usual understanding of strength - how could a man who wasn't much bigger than herself possibly unleash such terrifying power?
At this time, the black man surrounded in the center of the field looked ugly, and the white man who was beaten was his younger brother. "Hua Xiazi, what's the big deal about bullying them? I'll fight you."
Zhou Jian turned his face and impatiently glanced at the black man, what's with this guy's big mouth, spouting nonsense as if he were Tyson himself. In Zhou Jian's opinion, this guy's strength might be intimidating to ordinary people, but in front of him, it was nothing. No matter how strong he was, could he compare to Thai bounty hunter Ba Yu?
Zhou Jian was too lazy to bother with him, so he took action directly. As a result, the black man didn't even have time to react before Zhou Jian kicked him right in the face.
With a "peng" sound, the black man also flew out. A white shoe print appeared on his dark face, which was quite striking. The originally intimidating black man didn't last half a second longer than the white man and was also kicked flying - Zhou Jian's speed had already exceeded the limits of ordinary people's neural reactions.
